AN: Just a quick one shot I got the inspiration for, had to write it down! J Puck is 16, and Sabrina would be too. I don't own Dear Juliet, or Lullaby, but they're both amazing! Enjoy!
Lullaby
Puck's P.O.V.
I walked up to the podium. I was so nervous, so afraid, so lost, so many things. "Hi," I told them all with unease, "I've never really spoken at a funeral before, well, for someone that meant something to me. So I thought I might sing it." I took out my guitar which I had learned to play recently. I looked over at Sabrina, so delicate and helpless looking. She wore a white silken dress, and her gold hair was fanned out around her on the pillow. I whispered to myself, "This one's for you, Sabrina." However I forgot I was standing in front of a microphone, and my thoughts echoed of the room and came back to me, though I barely recognized my own words. I began to sing.
You can rest easy tonight,
Everything is going to be alright,
I promise.
Go to sleep and dream of me tonight;
Everything may not be perfect,
But at least we tried.
So tonight,
Sweet Dreams, And Sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard,
Can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be,
Just promise you won't forget me,
And I'll leave you with this lullaby,
Tonight.
I know that this hurts you,
It hurts me, too
I wish there was something I could do
To make it easier for you.
Sometimes it's tough,
Too soon to call it love,
But I wanted to,
Yeah,
I wanted to.
But it's too late now to say,
All the wonderful things,
That I thought of you,
So tonight,
Sweet dreams
And sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard,
Can't get you out of my mind.
And If this is how it has to be,
Just promise you won't forget me,
And I'll leave you with this lullaby,
Tonight….
I stood up and gave a slight bow. "Thank you." And walked to the curtain on the back of the stage and went behind it. I had told Granny Relda I would be back here, so she didn't have to worry. I sat down, with my fingers pressed against the bridge of my nose. I inhaled deeply. I remember it all clearly…..
Flashback:
It was a dark room, with only flickering lights. I watched through a dim window, wishing I could get inside. Sabrina sat in a wooden chair, tied up, and pulling at her binds. "Hello, Sabrina."
"Who are you? Why are you doing this? How do you even know my name?"
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
The shadowed figure turned and melted back into the darkness.
…..an hour later…..
The shadowed figure returned with food. "Here," It rasped, "Eat."
"No. I don't trust you."
"Well you'll get hungry sometime, won't you? You'll have to eat then."
Sabrina glared, but said nothing. The figure walked away, leaving the plate of food just in her reach, tempting her. Sabrina fought her hunger, biting her lip, and trying not to glance at her plate. She picked a small piece of sandwich up and struggled to get it to her mouth. One little bite wouldn't hurt her, right?
She was wrong.
I tried to shove open the door, throwing my weight into it. I glanced through the window. She was twisting her hand closer and closer to her face. She was almost there, almost had that single bite into her mouth.
I shouldered the door one more time. It flew open. "Sabrina, Don't-" I cried, but it was too late. She had already eaten it. "Puck?" She questioned. "What are-hey, why are there four of you?"
"What?" I cried.
She started to lose grasp. I could tell. Her head began to roll and her hands were going limp as her legs gave and she slid down just a little in her seat. She started breathing heavily, and her eyes rolled back in her head. "Sabrina!" I cried, running towards her, "Sabrina?" But she was gone. I had carried her home, but didn't tell them what happened. They didn't need any more to worry about at the moment.
End Flashback
I had couple single, solitary tears running down my face now. I let them glide down my face, knowing I would get laughed at later if I cried back at the house. I felt a silky smooth touch, that just barely brushed against my skin and wiped the tears away. It was there, that's for sure, but it felt un-real, like it wasn't. I looked up and jumped a little. Sitting behind me, saw the softly smiling face of Sabrina Grimm. I stuttered. "H-h-hey, Sabrina."
"Hey, Puck. Do you know what I just realized?" Her voice sounded as if it was being carried on the wind, just a breeze, so quickly taken away. "What?" Amazingly enough, I wasn't afraid. I felt like I had known her forever.
"This is probably one of the first times you called me Sabrina." She laughed. A sound I knew I was going to miss. I laughed too. She sat down. "It probably is." I said with a smile. "Thanks for the song," She said. I'm sure I had a surprised look on my face.
"You heard it?"
"Yeah, I was listening. And it was really nice. Thank you."
I blushed. "Of course."
"And Puck?"
"Hmm?"
"What were some of those wonderful things about me?"
"Well, I've always liked your eyes, and the way you smile. Your laugh, and I always thought you looked cute when you were mad."
She giggled. "No wonder, then."
"Puck?"
"Yes, Sabrina?"
"Sometimes, I wanted to call it love, too." She smiled a shy smile and then stiffened.
"Sabrina? What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong," She smiled. "They're calling me."
"Who?"
"The rulers for the ghost world. They're very nice, but they only let you stay gone for so long, or your connection becomes to weak and you're a wanderer, which is a ghost who wanders the Earth for the rest of Eternity. I have to go now."
"Please, no. Don't go." I begged.
"I have to Puck. Did you really not just hear me explain that all to you?" She shook her head. "Never mind. Goodbye, Puck. Maybe I'll see you soon." She planted a light kiss on his cheek, and took a step back. Her legs disappeared first, swirling into nothing, and slowly rising until all he saw was her face. She mouthed three words; I love you, before her face disappeared from Earth as well, leaving Puck standing alone, thinking about how happy he had been again for just the one moment. He hummed to himself;
So tonight,
Sweet dreams,
And sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard,
Can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be,
Just promise you won't forget me,
And I'll leave you with this Lullaby,
Tonight…
AN: So, what did ya'll think? A bit of a sad fic, but It makes some-what sense I think, and I tried to even make room for PxS even though she's dead….I'm not sure how this idea came into my head, but It's pretty interesting, I think. Review Please!
