Okay, so chapter six is up. Boom son, I win. As always, thank you's will be at the bottom. You guys are all awesome, I have so many BAMF reviewers and readers. Okay so, here we go, this should be where the adventure begins. Because I don't think we want to go through yet another day at Deidre's, much as I love her. Don't worry, we shall never be short on the sexual tension XD. Action, romance, and pickle jars. Oh yes. And here we go, the emotional roller coaster that is chapter 6. Kidding, just enjoy XD. I love the books as much as the next chick, but I don't own them darlings. ;D
Wherever you go, I shall follow
Deidre smiled lovingly at the teenage girl in front of her, sitting cross-legged on the couch. Ally had grown on the little old lady in her short time here, and it would be sad to see her leave. "You've got the bandages then?" She asked.
Ally nodded with a reassuring smile, holding up the little sack Deidre had given her, holding the gauze and bandages inside. "Of course."
"Good. And you remember how to wrap them? I'm afraid you'll have to help Goodfellow. A shoulder is not an easy place to bandage on one's own."
"Yep, I've got it covered." She bobbed her head once again. "No need to be so worried, Deidre. Puck'll keep me safe."
Deidre laughed a little at this, "I guess I am worrying too much, aren't I?"
"Especially considering this is me, we're talking about." Puck replied cockily, leaning against the archway of the kitchen. Ally turned around and grinned at him, rolling her eyes. "Al's right, nothing is going to happen as long as I'm there."
"Yes, I pity the poor bastard that crosses you, Goodfellow." Deidre chuckled a little and shook her head.
Puck sauntered over to the couch where Ally sat and looked her in the eye, "You sure you wanna do this, Al?" He asked, lightly tugging on a strand of her hair, "It would be easier to just go home and forget this ever happened."
Ally shook her head. Ever since she found out that her glamour had been sealed, and that the only one who could unseal it was the one who did it in the first place, she had become determined to find that person. Whoever thought they had the right to seal the only thing she had of the second half of herself was going to get an earful. Deidre had realized that Ally's magic was sealed the night she and Puck had returned from the forest. Ally had, upon hearing that there was only one person able to unseal it, immediately wanted to find the person responsible. They didn't have much to go on, but the Nevernever was all about gossip, and Ally knew the person she wanted to start asking first before it even had to come to that. Her mother had to know something about her father. At least a little bit. He was the most likely culprit, after all, and her mother had been…involved with him. There was a chance, no matter how slight, that she had known what he was.
Puck sighed, "Well we'd better get the hell outta dodge then. The longer we stay in the Nevernever, the easier it'll be for Rowan and his lackeys to find us." Ally shivered involuntarily, remembering the ice prince's hands on her as if they still were. Goosebumps rose on her arms. Puck noticed and crouched so they were face to face, giving her one of his best reassuring grins, "Hey, what'd I tell you before, huh?" He whispered so that only she could hear, reaching up to cradle the back of her head and bring it down so that their foreheads were touching. Breaths mingling. "He'll never get to put his hands on you again. Not as long as I'm around, and I don't plan on going anywhere."
It was times like these that Ally was the most thankful that she had met Puck. His ability to make everything seem okay was crucial for Ally at this point, and even before this all happened, he would always be there for her. She closed her eyes and focused on the sweet smell of his breath as it washed over her face. A smile stretched on her lips, "I know. My own personal body guard, I get it." He chuckled and closed the fingers on her neck around a few strands of brown hair lightly. Ally's eyes opened, and she found herself once again mesmerized by those emerald orbs he called eyes. He stared back unwaveringly, blinking only when necessary. The burning in her lungs was what alerted Ally to the fact that she hadn't been breathing. They both pulled away at the same time, and Deidre, who they had forgotten about completely, let out a little snicker.
Ally blushed and looked at her hands, fidgeting in her lap. Puck cleared his throat and drew in a shaky breath. "Well I suppose we should be off, then." He nodded to Deidre, who gave him a knowing smirk.
"Yes, yes, I realize that," She chuckled, patting him on the elbow, because that was the highest she could reach, "Behave yourself around an innocent girl like that, Goodfellow." His cheeks flamed and he grumbled at her under his breath. Ally just giggled.
"I'll miss you Deidre," Ally stood and walked over to the little old lady, bending over to hug her.
"Oh feel free to come visit whenever you'd like, dear." She replied with a smile.
Puck grinned, "Don't worry, D, you'll see me again soon enough."
"Oh I just cannot wait. I'm missing you already." Deidre said unenthusiastically. Ally and Puck laughed as they made their way to the door. Just as Ally stepped outside, Deidre called her back, shooing Puck when he tried to follow. She pulled the girl down so her ear was just in front of her face. "If you find you need it, I slipped some…protection into the sack for you."
"Deidre!" Ally almost shrieked, staring wide-eyed at the grinning woman.
Deidre shrieked with laughter, "I was only joking, darling. Just trying to get a rise. Shush, shush. You must be on your way." Still laughing, the little gnome woman shooed the teenage girl on her way.
Puck eyed her curiously when she returned to his side, "What was she laughing about?"
Ally almost choked, her whole face turning completely red, "N-nothing. Forget it, it's nothing at all."
He raised a slim eyebrow at her, "Okay, okay," He replied, backing off about it, "Won't ask again." Then he grinned, "Now let's go get your magic back!"
They won't always be this short I promise. Teasing you guys ;D. I promise I'll try to get some more length on the next few, if I have the time. So yeah, hope you guys liked it :3. Here are the thank you's.
RoyalWriter- Thanks so much! I'm happy you were so excited about it! :3 It's nice to see you enjoying it so much, and I hope you like all the future chapters!
Emo Anna- Yeah, I'll try. My school work's pretty time consuming, but I'll do my best to make future chapters longer. Thank you for reading, though :D, you're an awesome reviewer.
Queen of Air and Darkness- Haha, yeah I know how you feel. "Angel" is a bit too affectionate for someone as playful as Robin Goodfellow. That actually made me laugh, though, I didn't know my writing made people jump around and scream at the characters. I thought that was just something I did XD. It makes me totally happy that you're so excited about it. Thanks for reviewing so often!
Daydreamer- Wow, I'm so flattered that you did that! And no problem, my reviewers deserve their recognition~! Thank you for reading!
The Girl who Fakes Her Smiles- Oh you think I'm awesome~!? Thanks you so much~! X) That is a really fun coincidence XD I just really like the name, and it sounded otherworldly enough for an ancient gnome. I'm glad you like her so much, she was really fun to write. I agree, tension is great XD. I really like reading things with a lot of detail, so I do my best to portray things that way. I'm glad you like it so much, and thank you for reading!
