The Last Thing I Expected: Chapter 1/ The Flashback
No One's POV
"Well what do you mean, Sabrina? He couldn't had done something so bad to the point where you won't go to his funeral." Granny said. I closed my eyes and put my forehead to the top of my knee's.
I could just feel the memory creeping it's way back into my mind.
Flashback:
We were flying out from the Scarlet's Hand fortress quick as lightning. I had been captured the night before and like always, Puck had been there to save me. We were so far from the fort already in the little amount of 10 seconds ago when we first flew out of there. It was great until I heard a loud 'BANG' that echoed through the empty land.
I knew the sound was a gunshot right away and looked at my body to see if I had been hit anywhere. But before I could finish the examination I fell from the sky and landed right on my back. I gasped hard from the breath the impact had taken right out of my lungs and soon caught my breath. I jumped up and looked around for Puck and saw him a few feet away from me.
I already knew that Puck had been hit and walked slowly towards his heaped body on the floor. He had been surrounded in a pool of his own scarlet blood leaking out of the side of his body. I could already tell that it had went through his lungs by the way he wheezed and breathed shakily.
"Puck!" came a shrill cry from my mouth as I saw the blood surrounding him. I ran faster to get to him and fat tears poured out of my eyes. By the time I got there, he was trying to stand up and clutching his wound with his one hand.
"Puck, you can't move!" I screamed as I slowly lowered his shoulders back to the ground.
"Grimm, I know what I'm doing." he said firmly as he sat back up. His breath was more shaky this time and that made more tears roll down my cheeks. I pulled out my phone and called the house.
"Hello?" Uncle Jake said as he answered the phone.
"Uncle Jake… Puck's been shot and we're at the Scarlet Hand's fortress. You need to come now and-" I rushed out but the call had been dropped. I looked at my phone and there was no signal.
"Shit!" I said as I threw my phone across the field. Next thing I know, I hear a mighty roar from at least 200 Scarlet Hand members with bows and arrows, swords, and axes come piling from the entrance.
"Sabrina we have to go now!" Puck said as he got up as quick as he could and clutched my hand. We ran through the plains and across the fields to a giant forest that led back to the town. We ran for what seemed like hours but had only been 15 minutes.
We got closer to the end but then bullets and arrows went right passed my arm and head many times and then I felt a sharp pain in my arm. I cried out I looked to see a wooden arrow come out of it. Puck stopped and looked at me with a scared expression.
"Sabrina are you okay!" He screamed/wheezed as he gently took my arm. I bit my lip and yanked it out of my arm and started crying all over again. The pain was horrible and burned through my entire arm.
I looked at him as he was covered in blood and his skin was getting paler. I looked to his shot wound and saw blood continue to pour over his hand. I nodded slowly.
"Are you okay?" I said looking into his eyes which shone like diamonds on his pale looking skin. He didn't answer my question but instead grabbed my hand and ran again.
We weren't running for very long before Puck fell to the ground. I stopped and tried to help him up, but he pushed away my hand and stood up himself.
"Sabrina we won't make it at this rate. Go ahead to the town. Always go straight no matter what, okay? Don't turn around and come back." He said. When he talked he looked behind his shoulder every few seconds. I could hear the small army's rapid footsteps getting closer.
"No!" I yelled as I looked behind his shoulder as well. "Puck, you won't make it out alone!" I said as tears started forming once again.
"I'll be fine. I promise I'll be there in a little bit." He said as he looked into my eyes. I could tell he was lying to me by the way his eye's got smaller.
"Puck!" I said firmly pulling his hand with me. "We can make it, we just have to hurry." I said weakly still tugging at his hand.
"No, they'll just keep hitting us. We're both gonna go down." he said letting go of my hand. I stayed silent but cried and let the tears roll out and free as I looked at him. A few seconds later I could see the army a few hundred feet down in the forest.
He hugged me and leaned into my ear.
"I've always loved you. Remember me." he said as he pulled away. I couldn't see because of the tears welling up in my eyes but I could imagone the scared look on his face. I hated to see his face like that, Puck was never scared. "Puck, I love you. Don't GO!" I said as I let go of his hand.
But he was already rushing into the forest with his sword held up. I ran the opposite way as fast as I could. It took all my willpower not to turn around and go to Puck but he told me to not come back. I stumbled along as the tears still flowed with no thought of stopping anytime soon. I was at the end of the forest when I heard a painful scream come from the middle of the forest. I stopped in mid-run and froze. I panted hard and I didn't blink at all. My heart said that it wasn't Puck's scream, but my mind kept repeating 'Yes it is.' I waited and heard the victorious yelps from the members and I knew my brain was right.
I whipped around and faced the forest. My eyes searching frantically hoping his mop of blonde curls would pop out at any second. But of course they didn't. I stood there with a helpless look on my face with tears flowing and my lip quivering like a little baby. But at that point I didn't care because I didn't know at the time, but the one person I loved more then anything in this world died because of me. And there was nothing I could do about it.
End of Flashback
"Because I just don't want to go okay? Please go away." I said as I fought the sobbing voice crying to be let out.
"Sabrina, you know that he would want you to go anyways." she said as she left the room. Once I was alone again, I looked back over to the dress laying back on the foot of my bed. I unfolded myself from my position and picked up the dress from my bed. It was knee length and had satin roses with green leaves sown into them on the waist line. It was actually a pretty dress, if not for the occasion.
I sighed as I looked a the dress but decided to put it on. I got undressed and slipped it over my head and grabbed the heels before I walked downstairs. When I got down there, Granny was wearing a black shirt and grey skirt with a black hat but no flower ensemble with it. Red was wearing a wine red dress and Daphne was wearing a simple black sun dress.
No one said a word, we just sat around the table but no one dare touch even their fork. After 15 minutes of painful silence, granny said it was time to go.
We gathered inside the car, but this morning when we started it, the engine puttered softly instead of it's usual roars.
When the car ride was over, we got out of the car and stepped onto the grounds of the gravesite. Every step I took, I grimaced lightly because of the horrible shoes Granny made me wear. As I walked around, waiting for the service to start, I leaned on a small tree a little further away then I thought I had walked. I looked toward the black sea of familiar faces surrounding the casket, and could hear tiny sobs being shed from people's eyes.
Why would anyone want to go to these things? Their horrible and tragic. They only reminded you that when you get close to someone, their eventually going leave you.
Whether it's on purpose, or by an accident. I looked off toward the forest a few miles away from the gravesite. God, this town was surrounded by a lot of forests, they were everywhere nearby. But, then I saw something move in the forest but then looked closer and saw nothing but the stillness of the tree's. I rubbed my eyes and continued to stare softly, but intensely at the thicket of brush.
"Sabrina, it's starting." Daphne said as she pulled my hand to come sit down. My feet followed her, but my head never turned around to face her. My eyes were stuck on the head of a little blond boy with a mop of hair with little curls in them. My eyes widened and my feet stumbled along as Daphne pulled me toward the casket coming closer in view quicker every second.
I turned back to the forest and the head was still there, but this time his eyes were visible and when the sun hit them, they brightened up like emeralds.
"Puck…?" I whispered as I stared at the space where the blond boy used to be.
Okay so… this one was longer. Was it too long? I tried to make it really detailed and real. But could it have been shorter? Tell me by pushing the button that say 'Review' on it. J I would really appreciate it. Chapter 2 is up next Thank you sooo much for reading!
