Hi! Here is Chapter 2 and sorry for the late update! Anyways, a big thanks to Bigtimebooks who has made life so much easier for me by beta reading the chapter!
Sabrina felt absolutely clueless of where the so-called car was heading, the four of them seemed to be turning right and left constantly, making it hard to decipher which direction were they pointing towards. The roaring noise and the flimsy seats of the ride just made the experience worse than the girl could stand.
However, Daphne on the other hand looked like she was actually enjoying the adventure rather than worrying for her life. The brunette gasped at every beautiful scene she saw, screamed at every bump the car passed and tugged at Sabrina's clothes when she became excited, which was every second. Not wanting to spoil her sister's perfectly happy mood, Sabrina simply kept quiet to stop herself from making any rude comments.
Not before long, both became alerted as they traveled from concrete to soil. The soft ground made the ride so much less bumpy that Sabrina diverted her attention from the excruciating car sickness to the surroundings. From branches and branches of trees, she soon realized they were arriving nearer and nearer to a two-storied house. Round the building was a huge insect fluttering. That creature had large pink transparent wings that were nearly the size of a window, or even bigger. Sabrina eyes widened to a point that her eye balls would actually have fallen off the sockets if Daphne had not reminded her sister to blink.
"What the hack is that?" The blonde asked in a pitch an octave higher than her normal one.
"Oh, you mean the boy? He's a fairy. Hey, you might actually know him from Shakespeare's famous comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream"," Granny Relda answered in a tone as if it was no big deal at all.
"You mean it's a fairy for real? Coolicious!" squealed Daphne with excitement.
"You truly believe that? It must be a joke! He's probably carrying a pair of mechanic wings!" Sabrina scoffed at the naïve thought which was received by the Brunette with a scowl.
"He's Puck, Prince of Faerie! Don't you recognize those mischievous smile and eyes?" asked Oma in a perfectly serious and sane manner.
The conversation ended as soon as the loud car engine was turned off. When Sabrina was about to talk again, she was broken off by a low buzzing. She turned her head from left to right to look for the source. Unfortunately, it was already too late when she knew where the humming really came from as a bucket of color paint came splashing down her whole body, "AH! YOU LITTLE DEVIL!" Sabrina shrieked at the top of her lungs.
The scream silenced the whole lot of people for a second but not for long. Out of a sudden, someone giggled which then developed into a loud laugh and then a hysterical one. The noise did not seem to stop until Relda yelled out, "Puck, come down this instant and apologize!"
With much annoyance, the fairy boy landed slowly on the ground and said with the volume of an ant a "Sorry," at that moment, Sabrina was finally able to take a good look and 'smell' at the boy: he had dirty blonde hair with leaves and dirt all stuck between his finger tips and clothes. He wore Khakis and a t-shirt that were too dirty to figure out the patterns and logos. Most of all, he smelled of the garbage which he shamelessly called that as his unique way of "embracing nature"!
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome 4000-year-old boy before? By the way, you do know it's a crime to stare at a prince?" Puck barked with his head held up high out of ego.
"Oh, please. You're no more than 11. If you're truly 4000, it makes you an old man and not a boy." The blonde answered with much derision.
"Tell that pig how old I am, old lady!" The boy ordered Granny.
"I'm afraid he is really aged as he has informed you to be, Sabrina." The woman said.
"Oh my gosh! What have I gotten myself into?" Sabrina shook her head with disbelief. "FYI, I've got a name which is not pig, but Sabrina. Please call me by my real name if we are going to live together for a while." She continued in a demanding tone.
"Let's see, as a prince, I have no obligation to listen to a commoner. So I guess you'll be pig until I find a better and more humiliating one," Puck replied mockingly.
"What a jerk you are!" gasped Sabrina in anger.
"Stop that nonsense! You can continue the conversation when you have went in the house!" Granny shouted, bearing the quarrel no more.
With a sigh, all three children and the tall frail man with the one small luggage followed the old lady into the flat, after she managed to open the door after some time of opening all the locks and finally a mumbling of a password.
"Welcome to the Grimm family, girls!" Oma squealed with delight while give the sisters a big hug which Sabrina promised quietly to herself that it would be the last.
"How about we get to our room to settle down?" The big girl asked so as divert the lady's attention from hugging to business.
"Oh well, follow me!" Granny released her tight arms and fumbled her coat jacket for the big chunk of keys.
The teenagers walked behind their grandmother, up the stairs and into a small, cozy room which had two small beds with a closet, a small table and a night lamp as the furniture. Sabrina took a deep breath of the fresh air, happy that it was clean and not that stinky odor of that horrid fairy.
Not before she was able to notice, Daphne had already chosen the bed nearer to the door and was jumping up and down with her shoes off,"It's soft and bouncy! Try yours too, Sab'!" The younger lass told her sister while trying to catch her breath from the exhausting game.
"No, thanks. But I believe it will be fine," Sabrina said smiling as she uncovered the white blanket to lie down for a nap.
"DON"T!"
Do you like this chapter? Do comment so I can know what you think? Though there might be major plot difference with the original series, I hope the characterization is still fine and the personalities have been kept true to the real characters!
