Sadly, this book is coming to an end. But, never fear, come January, I will be starting a new one, with a title along the lines of, "Chapter Three…" Although...that one will be the last. And you all might hate me for the beginning I have planned.
Also, to those of you who haven't read my one-shot, "Evil Lotion, Pretty Girl," please do. It's Puck's POV, and lot's of fluff!
Chapter Nine
Henry slammed his fist down on the table. "No. I will not let you sacrifice yourself!" The family was debating what to do about the Darren situation. "We can figure this out another way. We are Grimms, this is what we do."
"Dad, I have to do this," Sabrina said, her voice surprisingly level. After deciding what she had to do, Sabrina had gotten very calm. Sabrina Grimm was never one to just sit by idly while he family was in trouble, and she wasn't going to sit by while her sweet, innocent sister was in danger.
"Sabrina," Puck said. "No. Let me."
"No," Sabrina said firmly. "I'm the one he wants, so I'm the one he's gonna get. Just try and stop me."
"'Brina, you wouldn't even know the first place to look," Jake said.
Sabrina rolled her eyes. "I'm a Grimm, this is what I do. I'll look for clues, starting in Mirror's old room. Then, once I find Darren, Daphne will get home and…I won't."
Veronica, the normally strong woman, started to cry.
Sabrina smiled a bit. "Mom, don't cry. This has to be done." Sabrina shrugged. "Maybe this is my fate, and I've just been dodging it. Maybe I'm supposed to go to Darren."
"And maybe you're not," Puck whispered, but Sabrina just smiled sadly at him before going up to Mirror's old room to look for clues.

The closet Darren had put Daphne in was bigger than it had seemed. It was more like a giant room, filled with doors that had strange labels on them. This was what had happened to the Hall of Wonders after Mirror left.
Daphne was still unconscious when Sabrina came into the room and began looking for clues. Darren heard her, and opened the door to the closet a crack. When he saw her, he grinned. Sabrina was exactly where he wanted her. Within his grasp.
Darren picked up Daphne and placed her in clear sight of the door. Then he slowly pushed it open and hid in one of the doorways.
Sabrina looked up as the closet doorway swung open. Sabrina poked her head in and saw Daphne lying in the long hallway. Sabrina gasped and ran in…only to feel a pair of strong arms around her waist and then a sharp pain in her head.
*******
Sabrina awoke with her hands chained to the ceiling, and her arms screaming in pain. She blinked away the film of sleep from her eyes, looking around herself in confusion. Then she saw Daphne, tears streaming down her face, and Sabrina's memories came rushing back to her.
"Daphne, are you ok? What did he do to you?"
"N-nu-nothing," Daphne said, choking on her words. "I'm fine. But you won't be for long. Sabrina, he's going…he told me…you're going to die."
And then Darren entered the room.
