Setting: RQ's room
(light's on)
(RQ enters the room. Head's up and composed. No emotion)
(went to her couch. Sit.)
(guard stays outside)
(RQ holds her head na parang may headache. Matitigilan. Tapos biglang slump. Itataas ang paa sa couch. Fetus position and iiyak...)
(Si guard, dahan dahang papasok. Very silent yung pagpasok nya. Mag-iiwan sya ng panyo sa table na malapit kay RQ na umiiyak pa din)
(dahan dahan ding lalabas si Guard back to his position)
(8 seconds and then RQ will stop crying)
(RQ will compose herself)(scold herself)
RQ: NO! I should not be like this.
No. Be alright. That's the only way you'll survive.
NEVER BE AFFECTED. Don't let them get to you.
Save yourself!
YOU ARE THE QUEEN. YOU ARE NOW THE QUEEN!
(then stops. Matutulala ulit. Parang maiiyak pero pipigilan ang sarili)
(music will start and kakanta si RQ na "Holed Bulletproof")
"Holed Bulletproof" - Red Queen
Lyrics: Grace Lorraine Suhian / PainAndPen
Music: Ebenezer Ponce
Chorus:
A holed bulletproof, that's what I am
I may look strong but it's just in a flam
The courage I show despite of fear
Is a silent cry when no one's near
The smile and my deafening laugh
Is just a mere choreograph
'coz whatever people say I am
Just a holed bulletproof, that's what I am.
To be strong you have to show no weakness
To be strong, you must not bend your knees
To be strong, you must be able to move on
To be strong, you must do everything alone.
Yet being strong always has its downfall
No one will wipe the tears when it threatens to fall
No one will know the pain when something breaks your heart
No one will open their arms when you are hurt.
Because being strong is to be dependable
Because being strong is to be invulnerable
Because being strong is to be in pain but never groan
Because being strong is to be alone.
(music slowly fades out)

Teen FictionThere is an existing backstory about the Red Queen (Alice in Wonderland - Through the Looking Glass), but this is totally a different story. This is actually a stage play. I wrote this for our Theater Arts. I am hoping that you will enjoy the story...
