Mental Link Part 6

Kia coughs. Twice. Harder. Jakeob puts her back, and Yppah instinctively gets closer to her by pushing Jakeob to the side.
She sits up and looks straight at Jakeob and not Yppah. "Jake? Why would you..."
"Shhhhh. Cuz." Yppah turned her head to look at him. "Jakey boy is on a bit of an... emotional roller coaster right now. Look at me."
"Jakeob," she said hoarsely. "Please..."
Yppah growled a little bit. "Why the hell is it all about him?"
Kia went red and looked down sheepishly. "Yppah, please... I just want to see Jakeob..."
Yppah sat next to her. "Explain."
"Explain what, cuz?" Kia asked.
"Why do you still trust him, even after he hooked you up to a poorly built machine, made you horribly sick through said machine, and almost blew you to bits?" Yppah said, feeling tears start to well up in his eyes.
Jakeob sat on the other side of Kia, looking at his feet. Kia didn't notice this, her eyes still locked on Yppah in rage.
"Why do you still trust me after I attempted to kill your best friend by mistake?" She returned. "After I lost control of my magic and almost killed you? After every shitty thing I've ever told you?" The corner of her mouth twitched and tears started to roll down her cheeks. "Tell me why, Yppah."
"Because I love you," he sputtered. "You're my cousin, I'll always forgive you... because you matter to me."
"Well then." Kia's eyes gleamed and she raised her voice to try and drown out the sob in her voice. "I still trust Jakeob is because I love him. I love him more than I should be allowed to. We're not family and I still love him. I'll always forgive him because he matters to me."
She shook and finally let out her sobs. She cried and cried, and Yppah just sat there in shock.
"Kia..." Jakeob said softly.
She stopped crying and turned around. "H-Hey Jake..."
He looked like he was about to cry too.
"Kia." His voice shook. "I love you, too..."

So about Death's Duty Calls...

I'd suggest reading this before Death's Duty Calls. Hi! Hello. If you don't know this yet I am a real human being, I'm a proud Canadian and I love writing. This play you're about to read, this play right here is mine, and it's based off my interactions with a certain friend. I won't call him out, but he'll know who he is. So yeah. Feel free to use this play. It runs about an hour and a half in length. The word use is fairly basic , but some of the themes addressed in the play are PG13 ( drinking, intimacy, homosexuality and abuse to name a few ). I, the author, suggest a high-school level audience and actors . A lot of the characters have loose looks ( looks that aren't addressed in the play ), and some are set. Here's a list of characters. Whatever is in bold  is said in-play, whatever is not is how I see them and is open to change and interpretation. Anything not mentioned is yours to decide. Jeannine "Jay" Moses - Female, h...

Death's Duty Calls, Act 1- The Prince, Part 2- The Fugitive

Part 2- The Fugitive The forest. The window is gone. There is a small camp set up, with a tent on the left and two logs on the sides of a campfire. Daryn is sitting on the log to the left, warming his hands by the fire. Jay walks in from the right, with a bag over her shoulder. JAY- Dragon’s been fed. You’ve got a fire going, bud? DARYN- Yep. I’m not the best, but she’s burning. JAY- You did great. She sits on the other log and opens the bag, pulling out two pouches of rations and two flasks, filled with water. JAY- Are you vegetarian? DARYN- No. ( pause ) That’s a weird question. JAY- That’s because I’m a strange person. ( She gets a blank stare from Daryn and sighs before continuing. ) There’s some dried meat in the rations. DARYN- Oh. Jay hands him a flask and a bag of rations. There is a tense silence between them as Jay munches on dried berries and Daryn takes a dubious sniff of the water flask. DARYN- Jay? Jay looks at him with a bit of resent. DARYN- ...

Death's Duty Calls, Act 2- The Queen, Part 1- The Father

Act 2 - The Queen Part 1- The Father The curtain rises on the forest. The campsite is gone. The forest is still there. Jason and Jay are walking across the scene, with their bags on their backs. They stop about one-quarter of the way across the stage, stop, and turn back.  JASON- Daryn. Pick up the pace. Daryn jogs up to them, panting. He leans against Jay, who steps back. He slips and hits the ground. DARYN, out of breath - It’s not my fault that I don’t have as much endurance as you two. JAY- You wouldn’t survive a day with Conrad and Aletha. JASON- He’s a prince. He’s soft. Daryn shoots up. DARYN- I’m not soft! I’m strong! Watch me! He pulls Jason’s sword off Jason’s belt and swings it at a tree with no effect. JASON- You’re strong-willed. That’s… good enough. DARYN- Yeah. I’m strong. He puffs out his chest and parades around Jay and Jason.  JAY, sarcastic - Ha, ha. Hilarious. C’mon. We need to get to her lair before sundown, or else fighting he...
