Thanks for all the reviews. It's nice to know what my reader's think whether positive or negative... yes, I understand that the last chapter just screwed things up and honestly I planned it that way. I promise the next fic won't be as complicating and confusing. I decided to call the next fic "HSM: Even More Unpredictable" and the one after it will be "HSM: Still Unpredicatble". As far as Madison, I will not keep her as a character unless the readers request me to. So we're getting closer to the end. Continue reading and reviewing. I won't be putting up the alternate ending unless a reader requests it. Thanks for everything guys.
Chapter 9: Breaking Free (of Madison)
They woke up an hour later. Troy hugged Gabriella tightly, thankful that it was over. As they watched Madison slowly rising, they backed away from her. She smiled.
Madison- Hey, are you two okay?
Troy- Yea, but are you?
Madison- What do you mean?
Gabriella- Madi, how could you mess with that kind of dark power?
Madison- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
Troy- How did this all start?
Madison- Well... (flashback)
Two years back, I met this nice girl, Desire. Turns out she wasn't so nice. She had a boyfriend and she invited me over to her house party once. They raped me, but at the touch of her lips I fell in love with her. She broke up with her boyfriend and started teaching me the craft. She, then, transformed me. Noone even tried to stop her, not like anyone knew what was going on. Desire and I got married in a satanic temple. The only way to break free was to pass the transformation on. When Desire died, I gave up and decided to do it. That's when I came here to New Mexico. I found you and the temptation took over. I hadn't been myself since Desire came into my life. Desire's death didn't break the spell, though, like I thought it would if I didn't pass it on while she was living. Now, it's broken.
(Flashback ends)
Gabriella- How did Desire die?
Madison- I killed her. I went to bed with the athame in hand. When she tried to get close, I stabbed her.
Gabriella- But why?
Madison- I thought, if I couldn't pass the transformation on maybe her death would break the spell, but it made things worse.
Troy- So, how is the spell broken?
Madison- Gabi loved me without the potion, her final kiss broke the spell.
Gabriella- Awww... that's so sweet.
Madison- I"m going back to Santa Fe, to my home. That's where I belong now.
Gabriella- Hold on. Look me in the eyes.
She looked into Madison's eyes. They were a cool aquamarine. She was glad to seee that it was finally over.
Madison- I must go. I have friends waiting for me.
They all cleaned up the hotel room and left. After Madison checked out of the hotel, they stood outside next to her car and said their goodbyes.
Gabriella- Madi, I wanna forgive you and tell you that I'll hopefully see you next year at UNM.
Troy- Me too.
Madison- You guys are great. I'm really sorry about what happened.
Gabriella- It's okay, it's over.
She kisses her on the lips and hugs her tightly. Madison eyed Troy for a moment, so he hugged he and gave her a kiss on the cheek. With that, she got into the car and drove off. Troy and Gabriella just stood there, watching the smoke from the car disintegrate.
In the next few days, Mrs. Darbus announced try-outs for the musical, called "Seductive Disasters". The main characters were Izabel, Evan and Madeline. Gabriella and Troy, of course, tryed out for Izabel and Evan. The try-outs were singles, because Mrs. Darbus hadn't decided on any duets, yet. The girl's had to sing a song called "I fell in love with disaster".
Lyrics-
she ripped my heart
out of my chest
put it in a music box
and now my soul can't rest
until the music stops
Bridge- she loves me
loves me not
I love her
but I forgot
that she is my tragedy
Chorus- I fell in love with disaster
now she is my master
the power over me
will I ever break free?
I'm not blind, but I can't see
that I might never break free
will I ever break free?
She abused my body
by raping me
forever tied to her bed
and now I can't believe
she keeps running through my head
(repeat bridge)
(repeat chorus)
The boys had a different song to sing for auditions. Troy was first to audition the song called "Flirting with the Enemy".
Lyrics-
I can't believe
I fell for her
she rocked my world
but it's sort of a blur
I want her
she wants me
but I have a girlfriend
which is why I'm not free
Chorus- I'm flirting with the enemy
she makes me sweat
her curves and lumps
I'll never forget
we had such fun
but I admit
I'm guilty
I slept with the enemy
her slow movements
drive me crazy
but I'd rather
be with my baby
I love my girl
she has my heart
no matter what
I hope we won't part
Bridge- the guilt is killing me
burning from within
but I flirt dangerously
with the enemy
who makes me grin
I'm acting senslessly
impulsively
cause it's a sin
(repeat chorus)
After the try-outs, Mrs Darbus posted the call backs and the other parts. She decided to have a duet after all. As a finale, Troy and Gabriella would sing Prelude 12/21 A/N: that's an AFI song... kick ass
Lyrics:
Troy- This is what I brought you
this you can keep
this is what I brought
you may forget me
I promise to depart
just promise one thing
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Gabriella- This is what I brought you
this you can keep
this is what I brought
you may forget me
I promise you my heart
just promise to sing
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Both- Ooooohhh, ooooohhhh
oooh, oooh
oooh, oooh
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Troy- this is what I thought
I thought you'd need me
this what I thought
so think me naive
I promise you a heart
you promise to keep
kiss my eyes and lay em to sleep
Both- Ooooohhh, ooooohhhh
oooh, oooh
oooh, oooh
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Ooooohhh, ooooohhhh
oooh, oooh
oooh, oooh
kiss my eyes and lay me to... sleep
They nailed the song in three days. These were the major parts posted.
Izabel- Gabriella Motez Evan- Troy Bolton
Madeline- Sharpay Evans Sam (Izabel's brother)- Ryan Evans
When they all saw the parts posted, they were all happy; even the Evans twins were glad with their roles.
Sharpay- It's still a pretty big part
Gabriella- One of the biggest
Ryan- So, Gabi, you wrote it?
Gabriella- Yea, me and Madison.
Sharpay- We heard about her.
Gabriella- Your character is actually based on her.
Sharpay- Really? That's cool.
Gabriella- You read the script, right?
Sharpay- Always read the script before auditions.
Ryan- Yea, me too.
Gabriella- So you know that there is a lot of explicit stuff and we're gonna have to kiss?
Sharpay- Yes, I know. I don't really mind.
Ryan- Anything for the theatre. Even if I have to make-out with my sister.
Sharpay- Ewww...
Gabriella- You can fake it. But our scene has to be real. People will be paying more attention to our big scene.
Sharpay- And the sex?
Gabriella- We've got flesh-toned costumes for that.
Sharpay- I guess we'll have to practice a lot.
Gabriella- Yep, we'll start tomorrow. Everyone has to meet in the auditorium at precisely 3 pm.
Sharpay and Ryan- Got it.
This entire time, Troy had just stood there, feeling invisble. It was as if he wasn't important anymore. He finally looked over at Gabriella when she took his hand and led him out of the school building.
Troy- Where are you taking me?
Gabriella- You'll see.
She dragged him over to her house and they went in and walked up the stairs to her room.. Gabriella, gently, pushed him down on the bed.
Gabriella- Troy Bolton, I love you. This time I wanna show you how much. Alone.
She locked the door, closed the shades and sat on the bed. He, gently, pulled her back to lie next to him. She turned to him and slowly closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his.
Another cliff hanger, sorry much. I love putting people on the edge. What will happen next? Don't worry. You'll find out soon enough. For those who want to know, the musical they're working on is based on my novel "The Passions of Deadly Seduction", which is my first piece of writing with Madison. I changed her name for the play though because I used her as a character in the fic itself. And the two songs that they auditioned are my personal work. Yes, I know my songs suck but that is because I worte them off the top of my head; I am actually a brilliant lyric writer, you will hear from me nd my band soon. I am an aspired musician and lyric writer and also screenwriter. Film is actually my major in college, I'm into writing scripts for movies and stuff... I have one done from junior high but it's pretty amateur. Yes, so I try my best to entertain. I hope you guys keep reading. And yet again I promise no more witchcraft in future fics.
