Rebirth of the Mistress

35

There's a blackout??

How come? Their school is one of the best, there should be a backup generator.

Some of my classmates took out their phones for a bit of light.

Everyone was panicking backstage, especially I heard murmurs in the audience.

It was pitched black.

I suddenly looked at the stage

Sarah!!

It's the part where she talks to herself and doubts herself, 

the issue is she is all alone there!

'F**k!' I hear Yale yelled.

We all came near him.

'Aston and Alex! find out what happened!' Yale ordered.

'On to it!' 

'Should we draw the curtains?' Maria asked

'We cannot! drawing the curtains means finishing the show!' Yale strongly disagree

'What's happening!' We saw Sir Michael rushed over.

'We're finding out sir, it suddenly blackout.' Yale answered

'Should we call Sarah back here?' Keila asked worriedly

'What shall I do? A lot of lives, I sacrificed lots of people' We were all surprised when we heard Sarah's voice.

She is continuing!? 

We all looked at the stage, It was all dark, no one can see her but everyone can hear her.

Her emotions and soft but pitiful words suited the darkness.

'Oh Lord, Oh our great lord, are you punishing me? my life, my body. - - -' Sarah

'How long is her dialogue on this part?!' Yale asks immediately.

'Two minutes!' Keila answered while looking at the script.

'How long you will be able to fix the electricity?' Sir Michael asks the boys in the corner that is fixing the fuse.

'Sir in fifteen!' Aston said

'That's too long! Make it ten' Yale said like a boss.

'Got it.' Aston didn't say anything and he got serious while Alex is helping him.

'What shall we do now? Sarah's gonna end her line in 1 minute' Maria said.

Yale think for a minute then like a lightbulb, he thought of something

'Distraction! We need something to distract everyone before the next scene.'

I saw everyone is nervous and worried. 

'What kind of distraction we can have in this darkness?'

I saw everyone working and thinking hard for a solution

Can I help them?

Then, I saw a black and old piano in the corner.

'We need to do something that is not visible in the eyes, something like Sarah, something that - -' Yale wasn't able to finish when I said

'Something that we can hear?' Then all of them turned their heads and looked at me.

'Err I can play piano?' I said.
