Hello! New series of one-shots. Takes place after Charlie got kidnapped in Fable, but before Mina went on that date with Templestiltskin's copper-powered brother whose name I have conveniently forgotten. It's a bit rushed, but please tell me your opinion and your idea for the next one-shot in the reviews!

3rd Person

Mina Grimm tucked her hair behind her left ear, hastily checking her clothes for any stains - a baby blue sleeveless shirt and some beige shorts that didn't go higher than her knees. Mina randomly hummed to her favorite song, Rock Bottom as she checked the clock on her bedroom wall for the third time in the last five minutes.

Mina sighed. Nan should be here by now. They were going shopping today and Nan said she'd be here by 2:00. Which was ten minutes ago.

The reason she was bringing her best friend is because Mina could never have afforded some new clothes or shoes by herself when the family money was running low, especially not after Charlie... died.

And Nan was the best at finding designer looking clothes at clearance aisles.

And besides, someone distracted her from Charlie's poor, innocent death that she felt was her fault. That someone being Jared. Mina sat down on her chair and put her hands on her head, leaning on her desk, sighing. After that night with him in the storage room in her new house, or the Grimm Mansion, as Nan called it, Wilhelmina Grimm could never look at that grey-eyed prince the same way.

The brown-haired girl blushed at how Jared kissed her cheek. Sure, it was a merely brush of lips, but there was no denying what he did.

She hummed a little louder, picking up her brush a holding it near her mouth. By this time, she was singing out loud, eyes closed and lips singing in a perfect voice.

You hate me now and I feel the same way,

You love me now and I feel the same way,

We scream and we shout

And make up the same day, same day

"Rock Bottom. Seriously, do you have better things to do than sing Hailee Steinfeld songs?"

Mina's eyes widened, and holding her brush in an otherwise lethal dagger-like position, she turned around and was face to face with a pair of grey eyes. "T-T-Teague?" she stuttered, dropping her brush and gaping at the blue-eyed prince who was now smirking.

"Look, I know I'm hot, but you don't have to stare."

Mina immediately looked away and crossed her arms over her chest. "You're not supposed to be here." she said in an ice-cold voice. Teague just grinned his famous cheshire cat grin and stepped closer, replying, "What, here in this room, or..."

"Shut up Teague. Go away or..."

The evil prince just laughed and whispered, "Or what?" By now, Teague had inched up to her, mouth tantalizingly to her ear, that made Mina's stomach flip-flop for reasons that even she couldn't decipher. "Or-or I'll call Jared!" She kneed him in the stomach and ran to her desk, clumsily trying to open her drawer to get the Grimoire.

But something went horribly wrong.

Barely a moment before she could open the pages of the leather book, Teague swept it out of her hands with his power and physically squeezed her neck. Not a word was uttered between those two, but tension was thick in the air as the girl became numb, face pale, hands clawing at her throat - but to no avail. Wilhelmina Grimm's life was now in Teague's hands.

But one word, hardly a whisper, came out of the Grimm's mouth - "Jared."

Suddenly, she could breathe again. Collapsing to her feet, gasping; panting; wheezing. Never before had air felt better in life. When she could finally feel the floor beneath her and something warm around her, Mina squinted her eyes at the figure.

She immediately wanted to cry. "You came!" It was a hoarse whisper, but Jared heard it nonetheless. He frowned at what he saw his brother do and slowly asked, "Are you okay?" Mina cringed. "Somewhat." She replied. It wasn't a half-lie.

Then, she felt like crying all over again. "Never leave me again!" Mina cried, tears streaking down her cheeks out of happiness that she wasn't dead. She banged her fists against his chest, clutching his shirt as if he were her lifeline. Jared only held her closer and brought his lips down to her forehead, smiling even though Mina couldn't see it. Her stomach did did a back flip at the kiss, slowly looking up at him.

Like a magnet, their lips were brought closer and closer, about to touch. The two teenagers missed the sound of the door slammed, missed the soft footsteps, missed the perky voice that yelled, "Mina, I'm so sorry! My mom had to search for her credit card, and it turned out being wedged in between the couch by some Doritos and-"

Nan barged in the room, gaping at the two teens that were hugging one another, looking as if they were about to kiss. "Oh. My. God. What did I miss?!" Nan squealed and whipped out of her phone, taking a quick picture before they had a chance to react.

Mina screamed and scrambled off Jared, blushing and scooting as far away from him as possible. Jared looked even more embarrassed ad his face turned blank, visibly reddening as he stared at Nan.

The perky blonde, however, had a crazy grin on her face, fingers flying over the touchpad. "This is soooo going on my Instagram!"
