Chapter 7
Moth POV
I felt like screaming. How could Tim and Mustardseed mess this up? All the idiots had to do was fool Puck and get Sabrina out of the house. It's not as if it was an impossible task. Heck, it wasn't even mildly challenging. Mustardseed had already convinced Sabrina to go out with him (which means she doesn't like my Puck!), and Tim just had to act like Relda and cook something odd and disgusting. The aversion to that lady's food was probably the only thing Sabrina and I had in common.
But, Tim just had to go and call everyone guys, as if he were their friends. Even after that blunder he could have recovered by saying he was trying to be cool and hip, or something. But no, Mustardseed had to go and ruin everything with no chance of recovery. I just prayed I had enough time to get some magic items from their mirror. After all, it was my duty as a brand new Scarlet Hand member to contribute to the war efforts. The Grimms themselves were actually to blame. After all, they were the ones who tipped me off to the organization with their stupid interrogation.
Once I got to the spare room, I unlocked the door with the set of keys I stole from Relda. Mirror had been perfectly happy to give me access to the Hall of Wonders. All I had to do was pretend that I'd changed, that I was his friend, blah, blah, blah. It was just too easy. He didn't even care if I 'borrowed' a fairy godmother wand, for 'decorating my room'. Of course, he had been a little curious as to why I needed a shrinking wand for decorating purposes, but I had it covered. All I had to do was say I wanted a bonsai tree, but couldn't find one at the store. So easy. After that, I just had to shrink an abandoned farm and move it into my room so that I had a place to keep Relda (after I shrunk her of course).
"Why, hello Moth! It's nice to see you," said Mirror. He was so gullible.
"Hey Mirror! Can I borrow a couple things?" I asked, looking as innocent as possible.
"Oh please, just give it up," Okay, maybe he wasn't so gullible. "Sabrina and Puck already came in and warned me not to let you in the Hall of Wonders. Right now, they're probably rescuing Relda, that is, if they haven't already."
How dare they ruin my plans! Everything was going perfectly. At least they won't be able to get Relda back to her normal size. I still have the wand. Oh crap. I left it in my room. I had to get out of here, and fast. I bolted for the door.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed as a lightning bolt nearly barbequed me.
"You aren't going anywhere." Why did that idiot of a mirror have to have powerful magic?
Sabrina POV
"Puck, hurry up with that wand, will you? We have to make sure Moth doesn't escape," I said impatiently. Puck was having a hard time figuring out how to use the wand, and I couldn't do it because of my very inconvenient magic addiction.
"I'm trying, I'm trying," he said, frustrated. "Why can't these things come with instructions?"
The whole time Granny had been trying to say something, but it just sounded like a bunch of squeaks.
Then we heard someone shout from downstairs, "Why are Tim and Mustardseed unconscious and tied up by the front door? Is everyone okay?" Huh, the spell on Tim must have worn off.
"Daphne, you need to get up here right now," I yelled, relieved. She knew how to make the wand work.
Moments later, Daphne and Red appeared in the doorway. They watched, amused, as Puck started screaming profanities at the wand. Then they saw the little mini version of Granny. "What's going on?" Red asked.
"Moth tried to kill everybody," I explained. She nodded, understanding, and then Daphne grabbed the wand from the still fuming Puck.
"Really, Puck, there's no need to cuss. All you need to do is flick your wrist," Daphne told him, demonstrating. In a matter of seconds, Granny was her normal size again, and Puck looked slightly embarrassed.
"Come on, lieblings. We need to go find Moth and make sure she hasn't caused too much harm," Granny said as she, Daphne, and Red rushed out of the room.
"She just had to make it look so easy," Puck muttered. I laughed.
"I'm sure it was very hard," I told him, then kissed him.
"What was that for?" he asked, shocked. The expression on his face was priceless. He looked like a little kid on Christmas morning.
"I don't really know," I told him truthfully.
"Hurry up, lieblings. We need to find Moth," Granny yelled from down the hall.
"We're coming," Puck yelled back and we rushed into the hallway.
"Where do you think she is?" Red asked.
"She's in Mirror's room," I said. We'd already heard the lightning coming from his room.
Granny looked at me with a worried expression. "She's not there. We just looked."
This time, I cussed along with Puck.
