[Forta, Shiko and Steve stand at the roof of the wall across from Golden, Kiki and Nevin.]
Nevin: "I just don't understand why we have to go!"
Kiki: "We want to stay and help!"
Forta: "We know, we know. But it's not safe here. We love you can't risk it."
Nevin: "I would protect her! I promise."
[Steve stares both lovingly and sadly at Nevin and Kiki.]
Steve: "Please, we just want what's best for you."
Shiko: "We just can't take care of you like Golden can. After this is all over, we will all be back together. Ok?"
[Kiki starts crying and nods. Forta's heart sank and ran to her, hugging her and Nevin tightly. Steve is moved and startled by Forta's emotion and Shiko is hurt. He can't believe he could ever be such a bad influence to them and hurt Nevin and Kiki so much. Forta starts crying.]
Forta: "I love you two so much. I would never let anything happen to you two. I can't let you get hurt, I just can't."
[The kids hug her back tightly. After a moment she breaks away and wipes her tears.]
Forta: "You two behave ok?"
Kiki and Nevin: "Yes Forta."
Nevin: "I love you."
Kiki: "So do I."
Golden: "I'll take good care of them. I promise."
Forta: "Thank you."
[Forta stands and walks away from them.]
Golden: (under his breath) "Love is not a victory march...It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah."
Kiki: "What?"
Golden: "Nothing dear."
[Golden takes out his amulet which has now been modified to fit around all 3 of their necks. He directed them to face towards his permanent home and placed the amulet around their necks. He threw the amulet in the air, and the three of them were gone. The three left were quiet for a moment.]
Steve: "We have to win now don't we?"
Forta: "Yeah."
Scene 2:
[Forta, Steve, Shiko, James, Utavi and Qatil were all sitting on the ground in the abandoned room where Qatil first brought them. All the lights were on now, they sat there with large pieces of paper, writing with quills and ink the signs they planned to put up.]
Qatil: "The rest of my gang who didn't side with me has continued killing people. I saw the paper today. 12 killed last night in a fight between the Kisas and the Morderes."
James: "Fuck, my guys must be still going then too."
Utavi: "I have no hope for those who did not join our cause. I once saw one of them kill a child. They laughed too. Saying how weak he was. I was sick for a week after that."
[Shiko looked over at her and noticed her clothes. She wore a small top only covering her breasts that was black. Under that she wore a skirt with a slit on the right side that was also black.]
Utavi: "Focus on the signs lover boy."
Shiko: "Oh uh sorry."
[Forta finished a sign with the words '"Mayor" must be stopped.']
Steve: "How many do we need?"
James: "At least 100."
Forta: "How many have we done?"
Qatil: "25."
Utavi: "Only 75 to go."
Shiko: "God this is boring. Hey Qatil, Fraus supply you with booze as well?"
Qatil "Well yes act-"
Forta: "Don't give him any."
Shiko: "Fuck. Forta leave me alone."
Steve: "Hey!"
Utavi: "Stop fighting. Listen Shiko if you don't take this seriously we will be forced to eject you from The City."
[Shiko looks over at Utavi and then to Forta and Steve.]
Shiko: "Ok."
Scene 3:
[Forta and Steve stand before a stack of 100 signs. They waited for sundown to post them up in the safety of the dark. They borrowed clothes from the stash Fraus wired to the kisas. All black with face masks and hoods to hide themselves. They now did not have the face masks or hoods up.]
Steve: "You have to be careful ok?"
Forta: "Of course, who do you think you are talking to?"
Steve: "The love of my life."
Forta: "Oh sweetie…"
[Steve puts an arm around her.]
Steve: "It's sad we don't have a proper bed here. Just that couch in the blue decorated room."
Forta: "Well we could still…"
[Steve smiles widely.]
Steve: "I like the way you think."
[Steve kisses her on the side of her head.]
Forta: "You have your sword just in case?"
[Steve took his diamond sword from his belt.]
Steve: "Yup, Kyofu is right here?"
Forta: "You named your sword?"
Steve: "Yeah you didn't name your bow?"
[Steve puts his sword back in his belt.]
Forta: "Uh no."
Steve: "What about...Gotong?"
Forta: "Gotong?"
Steve: "Yeah! I'm so good at naming things!"
[Forta rolls her eyes and kisses him on the cheek.]
Forta: "Sure."
[They talked for an hour or so before the sun was completely down. The each took 50 signs, pulled their face masks up and their hoods over their heads and took either side of The City.]
Scene 4:
[Forta rushes down the street, found a dim streetlamp lit by glowstone. Forta stared at it a moment, trying to figure out what it was made of. She shrugs and takes the poster and attaches it to the street lamp. She walks quickly over to the next block and does the same there. She repeats this for hours and hours until she is down to her last one. She gets to her last block, in the south-east corner. She is about to add the poster.]
Voice: "Who goes there?!"
[Forta whips around to where she thinks the voice came from and takes out her bow. It is a man in the same kisa outfit as her with his hood off and mask pulled down. He looks past her and at the poster. He has a scar going up his right eye. He is blind in that eye. His hair is big and spikey and light brown.]
Man: "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
Forta: "Just walk away."
[Forta's arrow shifts a bit on her hands from nervousness. The bow pointed at him seems to have no affect.]
Man: "Are you trying to incite a rebellion?"
Forta: "I said WALK AWAY."
[The man pulls out a spear and runs at her. Without thinking Forta let's the arrow fly and it hits him in the throat.]
Man: "ACH-YOU-CACK-FUCKER!"
[The man falls to his knees and grabs the arrow out of his throat, blood spurting out of the wound. Forta shoots him again out of fear, but this time in the head. He falls to his death, blood everywhere. Forta stares at the scene scared. She runs in the other direction back to the entrance of the tall walls where she would retreat as the morning sun came up.]
Scene 5:
[On top of the wall Qatil, James, Utavi, Shiko, Steve and Forta met. They sat in a circle. Forta was quiet, staring at the ground in front of her.]
Steve: "No guards saw me thank goodness.
Qatil: "Good, and you Forta?"
[Forta just shakes her head.]
Qatil: "What does that mean?"
Steve: "Honey are you ok?"
[Forta starts crying.]
Forta: "He was going to kill me."
Utavi: "Who?"
Forta: "A man, he was a Kisa I think. He had big brown hair and-and he was going to stab me with his spear b-but I-I"
[Forta sobs and then holds it back.]
Forta: "I killed him."
