We all stood in the rubble of the Ferryport Landing Town Square. Baba Yaga had taken it way to far this time.
Me and Puck almost died.
Puck. He is sick.
Bunny said so.
It's my fault.
My mouth turned dry and I looked sadly over at Valorie. She stood, her arms crossed staring down at a shingle from the gazebo roof.
"Old Mother has went to far." I heard a voice. It was the 11 year old Daphne's. I turned. It was her. Behind her was 8 year old Basil. "Although I'm just assuming it was her. Oh! Don't forget the chicken foot print about a mile back. But things are burnt and I heard Mr. Hamlin talking about giants."
"Daph! Baze!" I called. I walked over and gave him a hug. " I would love to say you arrived at the worst possible time. But if you arrived last week it would be the same."
"DRAGONS! GIANTS!" Basil squeaked in excitement.
Daphne has grown up a fair amount. She's mature but still has enough humor left in her to be a child. I'm proud of her, "Heard you became Head Of Everafter."
"Yeah. It's not all it's cut out to be." Sabrina smirked.
"Except for your 'Love Interest.' He's cut out wonderfully." it was Daphne's turn to smirk.
Sabrina turned red with a crimson blush. "Shut up, marshmallow."
Daphne's tongue popped out in disapproval. " I never liked that name."
"Yeah you did." Sabrina said flatly. "Lets get home I have to-"
"Check on Puck?"
"No. Yes. No. SURE!" Sabrina sighed, "Val, you coming?"
"No." Valorie turned towards her. "I have to go home. Mom wants me to help her change the ice to wood. Summer's coming soon. She doesn't want the extra strain of keeping the ice this year. I'll see you at school on Monday, Sabrina." With a nod Valorie slowly started walking towards the forest.
"Let's get going. Sorry your arrival in FerryPort Landing was so...exciting Basil." Sabrina apologized as they climbed in Sabrina's 16th Birthday present, a blue Prius.
"Like ours wasn't much better." Daphne said as she buckled her seat belt.
Basil, unlike Sabrina and Daphne had, knew about Everafters and the hectic life . He'd read journals that were sent to him for bed time stories. But his training hadn't started. He'd met few Everafters outside the Family, his training was to began after a month getting used to things here.
They pulled into the driveway.
Sabrina began to unlock the front door. She knocked on the door, "We're home."
Basil giggled, "Why are you talking to Granny's house?"
"It's a lock. It's magical. Only a Grimm can unlock it if this lock is on." Daphne explained as they walked inside. Basil had never been to Ferryport Landing. It could cause to many mishaps if something happened when he was here and untrained.
"WOW!" Even though when the house was re-built we had added a library to it and made a few extra rooms it was still quite strange. Books had seeped their way upstairs. Elvis was sleeping on the couch and drooling. Loud bangs of pots and pans echoed from the kitchen.
"Oh! Basil, Sabrina! Daphne, dear!? Is that you kids?" Granny emerged from the kitchen door. "BASIL dear!"
Basil ran up, "Hi, Granny!?"
"Hi leibling. How are you?"
"Good."
Granny looked up, "So Old Mother's tantrum caused quite the damage. Do you know what she's mad about?"
"Yes." I said sadly, "She's mad that I'm mayor."
"Oh, my. How are you feeling about that?" Granny asked kindly.
I sat down and though about the situation. "I don't know." I said, putting my head in my hands.
"Well, Sabrina take my advice and take it one day at a time." Granny gave me a kiss on the top of my head before taking Daphne and Basil into the kitchen for cookies.
Slowly I got up, when I entered my room I began to clean up the mess that the Princesses had left behind. I kicked the other outfits under the bed. I hadn't got much sleep last night, between making sure Puck was OK and cleaning my own wounds well sleep hadn't been a priority.
I laid down on the bed after slipping on pajamas, thinking. When Snow agreed that Puck would be my "Fake Boyfriend" I panicked Puck and me wouldn't last an hour together, plus it would be awkward and I'd have to deal with I-Told-you-So's and such.
But with Musteredseed it would be much simpler. But however awkward it would be having to act like I love or even like him would be better than doing so with Puck. But what Musteredseed said, "Give him a chance." he seemed to want me to well, give Puck a real chance. Not just at being my "Fake Boyfriend.' but maybe my...real one.
That-on the other hand-would never happen. No matter how mature that fairy was, he was still related to Puck so therefore he had to have some Trickster genes in him.
I turned over and looked at the digital face of the alarm clock I had dozed off it was 5 O'clock in the morning. Slowly I got up and pressed my foot to the floor. I crept towards the extra room where Puck was being kept. His own room wouldn't help him much because it got chillier at night.
With great care I opened the door and tip-toed in. I sat on the side of the bed and stared at him. He looked pale, sweat dripped down on him.
In hopes to make him cooler I peeled back thee covers to find him some relief. All I found was him in only boxers. I dropped the covers and blushed beet red.
I kept my hold on the thin sheet at the bottom of the pile and took the other blankets off this time so he was still covered. "There." I murmured.
I sat down on the chair Granny had positioned at the bedside and stared at him for a while.
Slowly I wiped his fringe out of his eyes, "Oh, Puck." I sighed quietly. "I'm sorry." I whispered before leaving the room and savoring the hour before the Grimm household would be alive.
