Hi guys, Horror here with another request by RobLebron. Enjoy the first chapter, rated for reasons, and select character bashing. Slight AU and enjoy.

Rafael and Angie Diaz walked down the streets of Mewni with their heads down. Looking back, Angie spotted their 8-year-old son, Marco, playing in the dirt, a small frown crossing his lips and Angie sighed, "Rafael, we need to get some food…we can't let Marco go without eating again tonight. He'll starve to death and-"

"I know, mi amore, we'll find something for him," Rafael assured and Angie nodded before the two of them continued walking down the street.

The two walked across the cornfield and looked around before taking a few ears from a stalk, "Hey, what do you two think you're doing!" they jumped and looked back to see a guard approach them, "Where do you tow think you're going with that corn!"

"Run, Angie," the two dropped the corn and began running, only to fall to the ground as several guards ran out from the cornfield and surrounded them.

They looked up as a guard knelt down and glared at them with narrowed eyes, "This is the fourth time we caught you two stealing corn from the royal family. Normally the first offense gets you locked up in the dungeons but seeing as this is your fourth offense…well the punishment is much harsher," grabbing the two by the arm, the guards led them towards the castle as they tried to plead their case.

The two stood in the main foyer, looking up at Queen Moon and King River Butterfly, "Angelica and Rafael Diaz. You have been caught stealing from the royal cornfield and you two have been avoiding your taxes for the past five years. How do you plead?" Moon glared at the two with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Your majesty, please…we have a son who is no older than Princess Star. Have pity on us…we are but lowly peasants who are trying to provide for our son and-"

"Silence!" Moon snapped and Angie and Rafael flinched in fear, "Not only have you been caught stealing from the royal family, you've also been caught stealing from farmers, merchants and hardworking people…not caring for their families,"

"Your majesty, we have a son," Rafael repeated his wife's words, "We cannot afford much to provide for him, he's all we have and-"

"Silence!" Moon snapped once again and the two frowned, "For your continuous crimes against the fair people of Mewni and the Butterfly family, you two will be hung by the gallows at sunset!"

"But…but our son-"

"Will be place in the local orphanage after your hanging," Moon crossed her arms and glared at the two, "May the gods have mercy on your souls, because we will not. Now take them away! And bring us their son!" Angie and Rafael looked up at the two in disbelief as two guards led them away and a third guard walked out of the castle.

Marco Diaz stood with a crowd of people, two guards standing behind him, as he looked around in confusion, "Where's my mom and dad?"

"Good people of Mewni," everyone looked up and Marco's eyes widened when he spotted his parents standing between two guards as the queen addressed the people of Mewni, "Today, you can lay you troubles to rest. Rafael and Angie Diaz have been caught and are being sentenced for their crimes today!"

Marco began panting before he tried to run through the crowd, only to stop when one of the guards grabbed his shoulder, "You're not going anywhere kid. After this is over, we're taking you to the orphanage,"

"Odion, Zabodo, pull the levers!" Marco looked up and watched on in horror as the two guards pulled the levers behind them and watched as his parents dropped through two trapdoors.

Everyone cheered as they watched the two bodies hang, "And now, Jirus and Marick will take their only child, Marco Diaz to the orphanage!" the crowd separated as the two guards carried a struggling Marco away and people in the crowd began hissing at him as they passed them.

Marco sat on his bed in his room in the orphanage and looked out the window with a frown and tearstains on his cheeks. He panted as he narrowed his eyes and began shaking, "I promise…you two didn't die for nothing," he laid back and stared up at the ceiling with narrowed eyes and his mind racing.

Two stories in one day. Okay, this one is going to be rated for a few reasons and again, expected character bashing and time skips within the first…I want to say four chapters…that sounds about right. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
