Second Chances in Love
Alanna smoothed her skirts as she sat on the small throne beside Queen Lianne's. Lianne sat next to
Roald. Jonathan was next to her, stroking her arm comfortingly. Alanna hoped that no one would
be able to see her nervousness. She was sure that Gary's plan would work, but that didn't help ease
the panic within her.
She watched bervously as one of guards brought George out. Upon seeing him, the crowd booed.
Even the thieves did. They had no use for a king that would betray them.
Yesterday, when the Lord Provost came to ask Alanna and Jonathan which sentence George would
get, they chose hanging over the guillotine: it would be easier to save George that way.
Alanna prayed that all was set under the hanging platform. If it wasn't, George would forevermore
lay in a coffin.
George was lead to the platform. The guard placed the ropes around his neck.
George's POV
'How did it come to this? Why did I let Jem Tanner lead me into his trap? I was jealous. I
was jealous of my best friend. Why shouldn't I be? Jonathan stole the heart of my lass. But, I
allowed her to do that. I gave her a reason to. Then, I betrayed her and Jon's trust. The trust of
thieves all over Tortall.'
Jonathan's POV
'This shouldn't be happening. I knew when I met George that soemday this would happen. But now
that it is here, I'm shocked. Lost for words.
Why did George kidnap Alanna? What possessed him to do it? He knew what the price was. Why?'
Alanna's POV
'I know I was angry at him, but that's no reason to end his life. This is all my fault. If I hadn't
have left him we could be married and this wouldn't be happening. Do I still love him? No, of
course not. I love Jonathan. Always have, always will. He's part of me. I know George and I
wouldn't have made it because he cheated on me. I couldn't marry someone who cheated on me like
that.
George's POV
George stoof straight and tall. He knew this was the end. Gary's plan would never work. He
stood waiting. The waiting was even worse than the dying part because he was still conscious. Then,
He heard it. The crack of the rope whipping out.
Alanna's POV
Alanna stood up, "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!"
But it was too late. George's body lay suspended in midair, his neck broken.
'It failed. Gary's plan failed,' Alanna thought as tears came to her eyes.
Beside her, Jonathan whispered comforting words to her, crying himself. George was gone forever.
*Sniff, sniff* Fwuahahahahahhhahahahahh!!!!!! George is dead!! But this isn't the end!!!! Review and

I'm sorry that it's short. I'm too tired.
