The Secret Pocket
Preface: After 5 years away from Ferryport Landing, going to school and catching up with their parents, Sabrina and Daphne have returned to the town they call home just in time for Sabrina's eighteenth birthday
"Chapter One: Welcome Home
"The second she opened the car door, a rush of air hit her that smelled like, only one thing could describe it: home. Like all the adventures she had had there only a few short years earlier, like her grandmother, like the Everafter friends, and enemies, she had come to know. She stepped out onto the soft grass in front of Granny Relda's house, and was immediately mown down by the family's abnormally large Great Dane , Elvis.
"Hey, buddy! I know I… missed you too" she said, struggling not to pass out from the stink of his breath.
Her attention was then drawn to the rest of her family coming out of the house, already being embraced by her mother and eleven-year-old little sister, Daphne. She quickly followed suit, getting up, brushing off her denim cutoff shorts, and racing to embrace the family she had missed so much. She gave her grandmother an enormous hug, followed by Mr. Canis and the now much taller Red. Finally she got to the sandy-blonde boy in a dark blue hoody. She almost hugged him, then hesitated and decided on a firm handshake, which he awkwardly returned.
"Long time no see, Grimm," He grinned.
"uh, yah. Great to see you! Missed you…guys," she replied, hastily turning towards her grandmother once more.
Though she rarely admitted it to herself, there definitely had been , well, something between her and Puck when she left. Sure he was smelly, rude, and ninety-nine percent of the time just downright insulting, but she had always had a hard time looking at him without smiling at his mischievous grin that she secretly loved. And boy, three years had not hurt at all. He was taller, and had grown more or less handsome in the years they were apart, though Sabrina would never admit this. She blushed, embarassed by the thought spiral she had made a pact with herself to avoid.
She quickly pulled her brain away from all of this, and, spotting her uncle Jake, ran over to give him a hug.
"Hey, 'brina," He said, embracing her.
"Uncle Jake! Ive missed you so much!" she said, returning his hug.
"Come lieblings, come inside, we have a lot of catching up to do! My goodness how you both have grown. Now come on in, you'll find not much has changed here I'm afraid!" Granny Relda said as she ushered Daphne into the house along with the rest of Sabrina's family.
They all sat down in the living room, with the exception of Puck, who declared that all of the "cozy catch-up" was far too mushy and was making him nauseous, so he left the room and went upstairs. The reunited family discussed everything from the girl's school lives to Veronica and Henry's jobs that were now transferring to the Ferry-port Landing area.
After several hours of this chatter, Sabrina, feeling very tired, decided to take her stuff and move back into her old room then go to bed. She flipped on the light, and immediately an enormous wave of memories washed over her. All of the good, and bad times she had had in this room, from sisterly bonding and fighting to hours lying awake, pondering what would happen next.
Hi everyone! So, this is a fanfiction that I started about 4 years ago, updated a few times, and then forgot about. I thought I would revamp it and give it another shot! For those of you who followed the original, I've kept the basics of the first few chapters exactly the same. I've just tweaked my concept for the greater arc of the story. Hope you like it!
