I'm glad the last review was helpful! I already had this halfway written out but I was waiting for some tips on the first chap. I REALLY hope this is somewhat of an improvement. I'm not excellent at this stuff and I know for sure there are still errors but... If it's understandable, that's great. hehe (:
Enjoy!
Sabrina woke the next morning to see a pair of bright green eyes looking down a long nose at her. Seeing her eyes open, Puck whinnied.
"I know, I know," she grumbled. She didn't expect to sleep at all last night. She was a bit sore from sleeping in such an uncomfortable position. "Is everyone else awake?"
Puck blinked and looked over at the camp. Less than a fourth of the army was awake at the moment, but the rest were starting to stir. Sabrina sighed. She heard footsteps from behind her and saw Puck jerk his head in that direction, both ears erect. He didn't looked alarmed, though. She turned around to see Snow and Daphne walking towards her.
"I didn't expect you to be one of the early birds," Sabrina said to Daphne jokingly. Puck bobbed his head in agreement. Not that anybody knew it was him.
"Well, desperate times call for desperate measures!" she said cheerfully. "We found some berries! Want some?" She offered the basket to her.
Sabrina looked at them and shrugged. "Sure, why not?" She grabbed two handfuls and offered one to Puck, which he quickly gobbled up. "What kind are they, anyways?" she asked as she chewed one thoughtfully.
"Blackberries," Snow replied. She was looking at Sabrina's horse. "I don't remember having a stallion as fine as this one in the stables. And trust me, a horse like this would be hard to forget."
Sabrina looked at the grey next to her and he shook his mane, still chewing his berries. "Um.. Well, I guess he was a new arrival or something."
Snow gave her a doubtful look but didn't ask any further questions. "Well, he is quite the looker. We need more horses like this around the camp." She walked up and patted his neck. Puck tossed his head as if to say, "No horse could possibly be as good-looking as I am!"
Sabrina shook her head. "Don't feed his ego, it's big enough as it is." Daphne and Snow laughed. Sabrina had a serious expression on her face.
"Well, I suppose we should start waking everyone up. Would you help, Sabrina?"
"No problem." She glanced at Puck. He grunted and looked away. "I know, I know, you do enough work already." She went to get started.
. . . . .
After they had finished waking up all camp members, Charming called for a gathering in the middle of their small campout.
"I see some of you have taken off your armor. Well, that wasn't very smart on your part. Put it back on. NOT NOW, you idiots. After I'm finished!" Insert eyeroll here. "Now, after all of you clean up the mess you've made, we will once again mount our horses and set off. I suspect-" Snow raised an eyebrow. "Okay, okay, WE suspect that we should be right outside the enemy's campgrounds by noon. Do NOT dismount when we reach our destination. Do NOT attack. Do NOT make a sound. And do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, seperate from our army at any time, whatsoever. Do I make myself clear?"
There were several 'yes sir's and nods of agreement in the crowd. "No, you do NOT," Sabrina muttered.
Snow White called for the army's attention once again. "We are offering a potion that allows you to communicate with your warhorse! You get to decide whether or not you want it, of course, no one is forcing you. Please see me afterwards if you DO wish to have it!"
Puck looked at Sabrina. His eyes were level with hers since she wasn't on him at the moment.
"Should we get it?" Sabrina met his gaze. Puck bobbed his head in response. Sabrina sighed. "Alright, let's go fight the crowd."
Puck nudged Sabrina towards his tail. She looked at him questioningly before grabbing onto the end. Puck began to shove his way through the crowd, ignoring the protests of others.
"OW, my toe! Watch it!"
"Sorry!" Sabrina said apologetically. She just earned a glare.
She wasn't surprised to see Daphne and Red up front with their horses.
"Here you go!" Snow handed them the potion and the girls drank it. Daphne's horse nickered.
"No, I don't feel any different." She seemed disappointed. It took a few seconds before Daphne realized what had just happened. "HEY, wait, I can understand you!" She grinned and started having a very enthusiastic conversation with an equally enthusiastic equine.
Snow chuckled and looked at Sabrina. "Sabrina, I was hoping you would come up here!" She was fixing to hand her the potion before remembering she was touched. Snow paused, and then grinned. "Alright, Sabrina, open up!"
"Bu-" She was interrupted by Snow, who dumped the potion into her mouth. Sabrina had no choice to swallow, shivering from the magic. She coughed a few times before she managed a 'thanks' and walked off with Puck by her side.
Puck brought his muzzle to her ear for a moment, causing Sabrina to stop and wonder what he was doing. He then proceeded to shout, "TESTING!" very loudly, causing her to jump a foot in the air and bring her hands to her ears.
After she recovered, she mumbled, "It works."
"That's good to know."
She glared at him.
"...What?"
She let out an exasperated sigh. "I think I liked it better BEFORE I drank the potion!"
"I'm sure you did, Grimm. I'm sure you did."
It was going to be a long day.
...I don't think that was any better. -sob- OH WELL. You can deal with it... but I can't. -crawls up into a corner and cries-
