Chapter 4- No Good Deed
Sabrina's POV
I could've cried. Everybody looked at me in an awkward silence. He walked away from me and tears streamed down me face. I ran to my room and cried. And in absentmindedness I cried out a sorrowful note. I swear that one note held all my sorrow and I fell asleep crying.
In my dream I was on stage. Puck was finishing a line and I looked down at my hands, they were green. Puck looked at me sadly and then he disappeared slowly. I tried to scream but no sound came out. I woke up panting and it was late again.
I jumped out of bed pulling green skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a green and white-checkered hoodie. I pulled my converses with me and barged into the bathroom.
"What the hell?" shouted Puck. He only had on jeans and they were green skinny jeans. Too late to change clothes. He has a six-pack.
"Uh…sorry" I stammered. He looked up and smirked. At least he was back to normal. And then he noticed my dried tears. Regret was clear in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Sabrina for what I said. But it's true. It's very true. More true than you'll ever know. I'll explain eventually. I really will" he said. He did something totally unexpected he touched my face and his hand ran down it. I let out a quick involuntary shudder. He walked away after that. As I showered all I thought about was Puck until I realized today was the day I would find out if I got the part. Which put me into a considerable hyper speed mode.
"Alright everyone today is the day," I said after I was dressed. They were surrounding the laptop. Their eyes were wide. And then Puck smirked.
"Hello green girl. Guess who's playing Elphaba?" he asked. I was totally confused like seriously. He looked at me like I was an idiot.
"Who?" I asked, still totally and hopelessly clueless. Puck sighed in a melodramatic way and gestured at me.
"You are Sabrina" Daphne snapped. My face was blank and then I started squealing. Puck smiled at my genuine happiness and I realized that I wasn't hiding behind my façade.
"Oh my gosh!! What part you guys get?" I demanded. Red was scanning the computer and then her face lit up.
"I'm…stage director! I asked for that yesterday," she said. She looked incredibly happy which was very unusual.
"I'm Nessarose! I wonder who Glinda is!" Daphne said. But Puck said nothing. He was just looking at the screen.
"I'm Fiyero. Who the hell is that? I'm a minor character. I should play all the roles," Puck shouted. I gasped and blood rushed my face. Puck looked at me in alarm.
"Fiyero is not a minor role. He's a main character…he's Elphaba's love interest," I said quietly. He looked confused as always. Daphne whispered something in his ear and he too blushed. And then I laughed. He looked at me in a daze but then it cleared up.
"Ugh…well I lost my appetite. Let's go Grimm," said Puck rushing me. I got up and Red, wearing a red and black gothic Lolita outfit, walked with me. Daphne wore the exact opposite, a yellow and pink sweet Lolita outfit. (A/N. If you want to see their outfits go on my profile) I walked with him.
"Get in the car kiddies" Puck said and he flew past speed limits to the school and we were there in fifteen minutes. It usually took us 45 minutes. As he parked the car in the elite section we jumped out and ran straight to the auditorium. Since this was going to be the biggest production since The Lion King, we of course had to stay all day practicing.
"Red…come on now! Delilah get Sabrina back stage. Puck too. Makeup now!" shouted Ms. Gravel as soon as I walked in. Puck was rushed back stage with me and he laughed. There stood Fern, a pretty girl who had a thing for Puck.
"Hey Puck…I'm Glinda. That means you're my love interest" Fern laughed. Puck looked disgusted and I sneered at her to which she flinched.
"Actually Fiyero ends up with Elphaba hence me" I snapped. She flinched again but turned around and inspected my makeup. I was to be completely green. Then Delilah came form behind me.
"Sabrina as the star of this play I have an important question to ask you…will you rinse your hair black or wear a wig. Destiny get started on the makeup," snapped Delilah quickly. I was forced into a seat and suddenly green makeup was applied to my face.
"Rinse it nice and good," I said. I hoped I didn't end up regretting my decision. Fern was trying to talk to Puck but that was impossible since he as sitting on the floor next to my chair and leaning on my leg.
"Trickster King so would I look good with black hair?" I asked teasingly. Puck studied me.
"You'd look good with any hair color," he said simply and I was glad it was impossible to blush with my green skin. My hair was done and now it was straight. Fern's hair was curled and was stuffed on top of her small head. Might is say abnormally small head. Then Ms. Gravel burst in.
"Sabrina you look wonderful. I swear you sing better than Idina Menzel. But anyway we got your costume made" Ms. Gravel said. I looked at her in surprise.
"When did you get it made?" I asked surprise. Ms. Gravel looked sheepish. Which was kind of weird.
"Well it's the hat and we made wide brimmed. Oh and get her red lipstick on okay" Ms. Gravel instructed. She walked out and then turned around.
"Oh and Puck go sit in the audience so that Sabrina can warm up her voice. She sounds like a siren" she said. Puck laughed and rolled his eyes. And then he gave me a kiss on the cheek resulting with my makeup being smudged and green stuff on his lips.
"Puck the siren says go wipe your mouth unless you want to walk around with green lips," I said. He rolled his eyes and walked away with a towel in hand.
"Stay away from him" Fern snapped suddenly. She is a nasty bitch. I sneered at her and she rolled her eyes. Not to mention jealous.
"Shut up Fern. For your info I live with him so I could just have him…if you catch my drift…any time I want. You are no competition for moi," I said. She made this creepy ugly face and turned around and Destiny went back to her makeup.
"You will look better than Idina Menzel when I am done with you" Delilah said. She smiled at me and glared at Fern's back. I like this girl. I looked in the mirror and saw that she had finally put the hat on. I looked amazing. She draped a cloak over my shoulders.
"I look…amazing. Thank you so much Delilah" I gushed. She looked at me strangely and I gave her a 'what' look.
"You always seemed unapproachable to me. Like I was invisible to you. You only acknowledged three people hear as if they were your equals…Daphne, Red and especially Puck. Maybe you are nicer than you look" Delilah said. I didn't know if it was an insult or compliment so I simply nodded. Delilah saw me.
"No I definitely mean it as a compliment" she said. And I smiled and walked to the stage. Everybody gasped at my appearance.
"So we'll start with No Good Deed. Here's the script and music sheets," Ms. Gravel said. I shook my head.
Puck's POV
She looked nothing like the Sabrina Grimm I knew. My friends Drew and Brian were there with me and their mouths were open.
"Who the hell is that beautiful woman on stage?" asked Drew quietly. I shot him a look that told him to shut up.
"That beautiful woman is my woman," I said simply. Drew turned to gape at me now and Brian did too.
"That's Sabrina. Her hair's black now! Damn she looks amazing" Brian said. I nodded in agreement.
"I already know the song. It's one of my favorites" Sabrina said. She closed her eyes in concentration and then a heartbreaking scream rang across the auditorium. Everyone's eyes fixated on the object screaming.
SABRINA
(Spoken) Fiyero!
(Sung) Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
WRONG: Though they beat him
RIGHT: When they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die:
Let him never die:
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka: eleka:
What good is this chanting?
I don't even knowwhat I'm reading!
I don't even know what trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!
Nessa:
Doctor Dillamond:
Fiyero:
Fiyero!!
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did:
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!
I then realized she was looking straight at me…in the eye. And blue met blue and it looked like she meant every word. Many people followed her gaze to me. Their eyes widened and I looked away.
"How was that?" asked Sabrina. Everyone applauded and she smiled slowly. Tears formed in her eyes. And then she ran off the stage. I got up as did Daphne and we ran to the backstage area.
"Daphne this play…are you sure it isn't about me?" asked Sabrina. She looked terrible. The makeup had dried and tears ran down her face. The truth was it did seem to be about her life story.
"Everything I tried to get right ended in disaster. I don't want to be good anymore. It hurts too much" Sabrina said. I knew what she meant. When she had tried to protect her family it always had the worst consequences.
"You did do one good thing and got it right unlock Elphaba. You met me and tolerated me instead of kicking me to the curb" I said. She smiled and laughed and she got back up.
"I think I'll go back out there" Sabrina said and then she was off. I now know that Sabrina will always do good deeds.
