Sabrina Grimm was having the time of her life. She, a freshman, had been invited to a junior's party. She sat with a group of girls against a living room wall, although the living room had been cleared out to make a dance floor. Music pumped through four foot tall speakers spread throughout the house. The house itself was huge, a monstrosity of new technology and tasteful furniture. Except for one of the girls sitting next to her, Sabrina had been pretty much ignored all night. Well, that is, by the girls. At least five different guys had asked her to dance, and she had gladly accepted all of them.
"You having a good time?" Sabrina was startled by a new voice. Turning her head, she noticed a boy standing in front of her. It was James Tophlin, a tall, slim, but well built boy with green eyes and short black hair.
"Yeah. And you?" Sabrina asked, tilting her head slightly backwards to get a better view of him.
"We-ell, it's pretty much been a terrible night, but you could make it better. Like to dance?" He offered his hand. Sabrina grinned up at him and took it. As they made their way to the dance floor, Sabrina couldn't help but notice some of the girls ogling at James. She smiled inwardly. They had just reached the dance floor when a fast paced, but smooth song came on. Sabrina was slightly annoyed. 'This is not the kind of music you get to know someone by.' She thought, throwing mental daggers at the D.J. James, luckily, did not notice her foul behavior, and as he led her into the mass of people, her hand tingled where he touched it.
Then, somebody smashed a window. Or seven. A huge crash was heard jumbled with a mixture of screams and laughs. Soon the laughs died out and it was only screams. Like a stampede of elephants, everyone in the house started running for the doors. 'What the heck is going on?' Sabrina though. She of course, was just standing in the middle of the rushing crowd, waiting to see what had terrified everyone.
"What do you think is the matter?" She asked James. But when she turned to where he had been standing, he was gone. 'The slimy little bug! He left me here all alone!' She decided right then and there that she was never going to speak to him again. Then what had scared everyone else came around the corner of the wall. Everyone left in the house, discluding Sabrina, screamed and ran from the room, some even jumping out the windows. Sabrina growled in frustration and glared at the monster in the hallway. Suddenly the monster began to shrink and morph. Glaring at the blonde haired boy in front of her, Sabrina stormed toward the door yelling
"PUCK! I'm telling GRANNY!" And with that she left the house. She heard the flutter of wings behind her and saw Puck flying after her. She started to run, then gave up. Knowing Puck could fly faster than a car. In a few second he was right next to her. He retracted his pink fairy wings and started walking.
"Grimm? What were you doing at that party? I thought it was for Juniors only." He asked. Glancing sidewise at her. Sabrina sighed angrily and stopped. Turning to Puck she said
"I had been invited cheese brain! And now, on probably one of the most important nights of my high school life, it gets ruined by a mud covered snot head like yourself." Puck smiled. 'Oh, why does he have to do that!' Sabrina thought to herself. Whenever Puck smiled, his blue eyes glittered, and now under the moonlight, they were beautiful. Just to stop herself from staring, Sabrina started walking again. She passed under a tree and, in the sudden darkness, fell over a curb. Her ankle landed on it's side and she gasped in pain.
"What did you do now ugly? Fall on your fat face?" Sabrina glared at him, only to realize it was too dark for him to see her.
"I fell smarty pants, but on my ankle not my face." She growled at him. As she tried to stand, she realized that she could put almost no weight on her injured ankle. Sighing, she resigned her self to hobbling along. "But first," she said, sitting down on the curb, "These cursed shoes come off!" she pulled off the four inch heels she had been wearing for the party. It hadn't even been her idea, but her little brown headed sister Daphne had insisted. Again she tried to walk, and barely made it a few steps before she stumbled again. She would have fallen if Puck hadn't caught her arm.
"Grimm, your clumsier than a monkey in water. What's wrong with you, can't you walk anymore?" Sabrina sat down once more and rubbed her ankle.
"As a matter of fact, i can't. My ankle is so swollen, i think it's sprained. Badly." Sabrina heard Puck give a huff of frustration, then he sprouted his pink fairy wings and grabbed her. Holding her in his arms, Puck started to fly them home. Sabrina had to catch her breath as they flew over trees and up into the sky. It was beautiful. Puck flew as smooth as water, and Sabrina felt unbridled joy as they swept through the air. Just as the house came into view, Puck started to descend, and soon they were back on the ground, and Puck helped her hobble to the door. He didn't have time to knock before the door was flung open and Daphne and Red ran out. They both checked their speed when they saw Sabrina barefoot and clinging to Puck for support.
"Sabrina! What happened?" Daphne asked, as Red went to go get Granny. Sabrina looked sheepishly at the floor as Puck sat her on a chair.
"I fell on the way home. I think my ankle is sprained." Daphne gasped and knelt down to look at it.
"Yep, it is really swollen. Kinda like a balloon." She finally concluded, standing back to her feet. Just then Granny entered the room, with a back of ice and some bandages.
" Oh leibling, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Without waiting for Sabrina to answer, she knelt down before the chair and place the ice bag on Sabrina's ankle. She gasped as the icy coldness touched her warm skin. Then the pain in her leg began to recede as the ice numbed her leg. After about fifteen minutes, in which Sabrina had been moved to the couch and was watching tv, Granny once more entered the room, and, taking off the ice bag, carefully wrapped up Sabrina's ankle.
"Do you need some help getting up the stairs?" SHe asked, as the final stretch of cloth was wound around Sabrina's leg. Sabrina shook her head. She had had enough help for one night. Granny just nodded and went into the kitchen. It was late, almost midnight and Sabrina was exhausted. She limped over to the stairs, and suddenly wished she had taken her grandmothers offer of assistance. She got up the first few steps, but was so tired she just gave up on walking and tried to crawl. Three steps later she saw someones feet in front of her. Looking up she saw Puck examining her with an amused twinkle in his eyes. Bending over he lifted her to her feet and practically carried her up the stairs. He took her to her room and laid her on her bed.
"Good night Grimm." He said as he turned to leave. Sabrina rolled over and closed her eyes.
"G'night Puck." She whispered, just loud enough for him to hear. The last thing she heard was Puck whispering
"What will i do with you?" Then he shut the door and Sabrina fell into the blissful unawareness of sleep.
