Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I was in Florida for about a week. I went jet-skiing and tubing! I was stuck in the middle of the ocean for a while, though. Anyways, this is chapter 10 of Aloha Hawaii. I really want to know if you guys want more Puckbrina or less. I'll see your reviews and write whichever one it is. On with story.

Chapter 10: The Traitor
SPOV
I woke up and I noticed that I was in bed with Puck. His arms were around me and our legs were over each other. I smiled a bit and checked the time, but it was hard with Pucks hands over me, so I moved them a bit and checked the time, 6:52. We had to be ready by 8:30. I tapped Puck and he screamed which startled me. It was very high pitched.
"Puck, we have to get up." I said. He let go of me and turned around.
"I'm tired," he whined.
"Come on Puck," I said tickling him. He was unfazed, so I got out of bed and tickled his feet.
"NO, No-Ha-ha, Sto- Ha, It-Ha," he said. I let go and he was panting. He got up and turned to me and I was laughing loudly. I fell to the floor and he let out his wings. He flew over to me and was on top of me.
"Am I amusing," he said angry and embarrassed. I nodded and I was starting to settle down, then he picked me up and went to the bed. He put me down and started tickling my feet.
"Wait No. Sto- Ha, Plea- Ha, I'll do- Ha, Anything- Ha," I told him not really paying attention to what I said.
"Anything?" he asked and stopped. I remembered what I said and nodded slowly.
"Okay, I stopped so you're going to have to do anything I want," he said smiling mischievously. I smirked and got off the bed.
"Okay, what do you want," I asked. He shook his head.
"I'm going to use it for a time when I really need it," Puck said. I rolled my eyes and got ready. I put on sneakers, shorts, and a blue shirt. Puck was wearing the same thing but had on a green shirt.
"So what shou-"Puck was interrupted by the door opening and Granny and the rest of the family walking in.
"Oh come in," I said sarcastically.
"Sorry. When you have a keycard you don't need to knock," Daphne said smirking.
"Everyone, I was wondering if we could skip breakfast. We have some terrible news," Granny said.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Well, some of the Everafters that were on the list have been killed." Granny said.
"Wait how?" I asked.
"Well, the Black Night somehow knew that we were in his room and that we took all of the files and others so he killed some of the Everafters he remembered. Some escaped and Tootles and Alice are in hiding," Granny said.
"Then who survived," Daphne asked.
"Well apparently, the Little Match Girl didn't really have 2 matches, but 3. She kept the third one for emergencies and she used it. Since the other ones were murdered we want to go and speak with her. So we have to skip breakfast and leave. She sells a candle shop." Granny said.
We went out of the room and down to the lobby, then outside and into the car. I was so shocked that the Black Night killed 4 people. I knew that he said he would, but I didn't really think he would actually do it. When I was in the middle of my thoughts, the car pulled over. We went outside and into the store.
"Hello, how may I help you," the lady at the desk asked.
"We would like to speak with the manager," Granny asked politely. I looked at the woman's name, it was Shelly.
"Have you bought a candle?" Shelly asked.
"No we would like to spe-"Granny said until she was interrupted.
"Do you want to buy a specific type of candle?" she asked and Mr. Canis growled.
"May we please see the man-"Granny said, but was rudely interrupted.
"Oh, so you would like a vanilla scented candle. Well it costs $3.79." she said. What was up with this lady?
"We want to speak with the-"but Granny was interrupted by another person.
"I'm very sorry. Shelly is half deaf, she uses a hearing aid, but she doesn't really hear well," a beautiful woman said. "Are you the Grimms," she asked.
"Yes we are, you must be the Little Match Girl. I am Relda Grimm and this is my family," Granny said, introducing all of us. "Do you have a private place we can talk?" Granny asked.
"Yes, if you would please follow me to my office," she said. We followed her to a room that had 5 chairs and 1 desk. Mr. Canis decided to stay standing, while the rest of us sat down.
"I am assuming you would like to know what happened to me last night." She said and we all nodded. From under her desk she took out a huge video camera. She got up, shut the lights and curtains so it was fully dark and then she turned on the camera, followed by a video tape. Then we heard thunder and then we saw the figure which made me shudder a little bit.
"I saw this last night a couple minutes before I had to leave work late at night. I went out to see what it was and there was this and a tape. Plus a note that said I had to join the Scarlet Hand or else. When I was about to leave, I had a feeling that something bad would happen, so I took one of the matches that I told no one I had and put it in my pocket along with a lighter. When I walked outside someone came and put's their arms around me." She said with a shudder then continued.
"I couldn't light it there, so I punched the person in the gut and kicked and punched them until there unconscious. I take off the mask and saw a very old man, but I didn't have much time since I started to here sirens. I quickly lit the match and thought of my apartment and I ended up there." She said while taking breaths.
"But the Black Nights not old," I said while frowning.
"That is true. So it must have been someone else." Granny said. "Would there happen to be many crime scenes here in Hawaii," Granny asked. The Little Match Girl shook her head.
"There has never been any kind of crimes in Hawaii. And I have lived here for a while." She said.
"Well, then do they have a senior center in town? If he's much older than shouldn't he be there?" I asked.
"Well, here in Hawaii, if you're about to be in a retirement home, they put your name down on a list and when it's your time they give you a call. You come down and live there until you die. You can go down to the senior center and look at the list, but make sure to look for Everafters." She said with a smile.
"Why should we look for Everafters?" Puck said curiously.
"Because what human would want anything to do with me or my stores. This killer is in the Scarlet Hand for sure. So he must be an Everafter." The Little Match Girl said. We all agreed and she gave us the address for the senior center home.
"I hope this helped," she called.
"It did, thank you," Daphne called back. She smiled and waved at us then went back into the store.
"Okay everyone, the senior center is not too far away from here. Just a block," Granny said and then went to Max, "Max you can go do whatever you feel free to until I give you a call. We can walk to our next place. Enjoy your time." Granny Relda said.
"Thank you," he said and left. We walked for about 2 minutes until we stopped at "Hawaii's Senior Center Home" and we walked in. We saw many old people, mostly in wheel chairs and it was very cold. We walked up to the front desk.
"Hello miss, how are you today?" Granny asked politely.
"I'm fine thank you. Welcome to Hawaii's Senior Center Home. What are you looking for ma'am?" The lady asked.
"Well we would like to know if we are allowed to see the people who have to go into retirement soon." Granny asked hopefully. The lady smiled and nodded.
"I'll have that for you in a moment, please wait until I get the file," she said with a smile then left. A couple seconds later she came back with a folder and a pen.
"Okay so we have some people who are going into retirement. They would be Mr. Hare, Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Pena, Mrs. Bail, and lastly it's Mr. Pan. Does that help?" the lady asked. Granny was writing down 2 names on her notepad.
"It does and do you mind if I can have the first names of Mr. Hare and Mr. Pan?" Granny asked. The woman smiled.
"Of course. It would be March Hare and Peter Pan. Kind of funny isn't it?" she said, referring to them from the fairytales.
"Indeed it is," Granny said, and then she continued. "I'm very sorry for asking all of this, but I would just like to know the address of Mr. Hare?" Granny asked. The lady nodded and gave a piece of paper with the address in it. We said our goodbyes and thank-you's, then left.
"Okay everyone, the March Hare only lives down the block in an apartment building," Granny said and we followed her to the apartment. When we got there 3 minutes later, we went to the 2nd floor and to room number 28. I knocked and we waited. After what seemed like an hour someone said…
"Who is it," in a sing-song voice. Granny replied.
"Well, hello my name is Relda Grimm and I am here with my fam-" Granny said until she was interrupted with the door opening, but no one was there.
"Are there any mortals except the Grimm family here with you," they asked.
"No," I replied. The person opened the door and invited us in. When I saw who was behind the door I almost shrieked. There was a huge rabbit behind the door.
"Hello, i am the March Hare. You must be the Grimms. It is a pleasure to meet you," he said putting his paw out. Everyone shook it and Daphne inserted her palm into her mouth.
"Please sit down. I'll get some refreshments and snacks," he said. Then ran into another room, probably the kitchen.
"He doesn't seem like he would kill a person, Granny," I said. She nodded.
"We need to wait a bit. We have to see what he knows." Granny said. After a minute, the March Hare came out with some soda and sugar cookies. Daphne, Red, and Puck gladly took one and ate it. Then went back for more.
"So how's Ferryport Landing," He asked.
"It's doing much better since the war has settled down," Granny said.
"That's great. So what's the problem?" he asked.
"Well first I would like to ask you to show your human form, if it's no problem?" Granny asked.
"Of course not," he said, then changed into his human form. He was a very old man, so he would need to go into retirement.
"I know you're asking why I am old," he said and we nodded so he continued. "Actually it was a mistake. I felt so bored of doing the same thing every night when I was like 20. So one night I started to picture what everything would be like if I was old and I started to have dreams about it and I couldn't stop. A couple days later I wake up to find that I look like an old man. Then I have to figure out how to explain to everyone, how I could go from being 20 to 80," he said looking down.
"Do you want to be young again," I asked. He nodded and looked at his hands.
"Would you do anything for it," Puck asked. He looked up and had on a confused face.
"Are you accusing me of doing something," he said a bit angry.
"Not at all Mr. Hare, we just wanted to know some information and it's not that easy to ask," Granny said. He calmed down.
"Well you can ask me anything and I'll be honest. Knowing you guys, you probably have a truth spell with you," he asked with a smile. Granny chuckled and nodded.
"But only for the difficult ones," Granny said while taking out her notepad- where she wrote her questions- and a pen. "Thank you again for answering the questions."
"No problem, but before you ask can you tell me what's going on," he asked concerned. Granny nodded.
"We got a call back in Ferryport from Haryana Boldo saying there was destruction coming from the Scarlet Hand. We came down to have a look and last night the Little Match Girl found a note saying she had to join the Scarlet Hand or else. When she left work a couple minutes later a man came and choked her, but luckily she escaped. She described the man as very old and told us that we should probably go see who will be going into retirement and we saw your name so were here," Granny said with a smile.
"That's reasonable," he mumbled.
"I hope it doesn't seem as if we are accusing you of anything, we would just like to know what you know to help the town," Granny said.
"It's no problem at all. Trust me, so go on with your questions I am ready," he said putting his hands behind his head and pulling back. Granny flipped to a couple of pages and took the cap off her pen.
"First question: Where were you last night and at what times?" Granny asked.
"I was here in my apartment on my lap top almost all day," he said.
"What were you on," Granny asked.
"I was playing the games on my lap top," he said.
"Do you own a store?" Granny asked.
"I own a tea shop."
"Has it been robbed?"
"No."
"Have you seen anybody destroying any stores around?"
"No."
"Have you ever met face to face with any Scarlet Hand members?"
"No?"
"Has any of your friends been killed or injured by a Scarlet Hand member?"
"Yes, my dear friend Wendy." He said looking down with a frown. We stopped for a minute.
"You can continue." He said. Granny nodded.
"Do you know who killed her?"
"Well there were rumors that I heard from the police." He said, now looking at his hands.
"And what did they say," Granny said looking up from her notepad.
"The husband killed her," he said.
We were all surprised. I thought Peter Pan was good, not bad. Everyone looked shocked, but Puck was steaming with anger. He looked betrayed.
"How could that be? We saw him a couple days ago and he said that he was so depressed that his wife died by one of the Scarlet Hand members. Why would he kill her?" Granny said.
"Well rumor says that he was angry with her that she made him grow up. He's messed up in the head. One night after coming home from the bar he stabbed her." He said.
"I thought she was poisoned." Red said. The March Hare shook his head.
"Do you think that he may be part of the Scarlet Hand? "I said.
"He might be. I would confront him as soon as possible."
"Would it be okay to talk to the police about this?" Granny asked.
"That would be smart." He said nodding his head. We all got up and shook hands with the March Hare.
"Thank you so much for all of the information. We would never know without you." Daphne said and tackled the March Hare into a hug.
"No problem. Anytime you guys want to stop by please do." He said. We nodded and left the building and when we got outside it was fully dark.
"What time is Sabrina?" Granny asked. I looked at my watch, 7:45.
"It's 7:45," I said.
"We'll have to go to the police on the next mystery day. Okay everyone, who wants cheesesteak sandwiches?" Granny asked. Everyone raised their hands except Puck who didn't care what he ate since he was upset. We walked to the store and ate our sandwiches. Once we were done, we went outside of the store.
"I'll call Max to see if he would pick us up. Whoever wants to come, stay close." Everyone except me and Puck left. It was very quiet, until I spoke up.
"Puck I know that you thought he was a nice man once you two talked, but there's no reason to get upset all over it. No one is going to make fun of you for it." I said.
"I know Sabrina, but I'm just a little angry. Don't worry I'll get over it." He said. I patted his back and after a few minutes of silence a huge car came and opened its door. Inside we found the whole family with Max in the front.
"Come on Sabrina and Puck," Granny said, in a weird voice. Like it was cracking.
"Are you okay Granny?" I asked.
"Of c-course she i-is." Daphne said. She sounded weird to. I looked over to Puck and he seemed a little freaked out. We waited a couple moments and then Puck tapped on me and pointed to Red. Some of the skin of hers was falling off. I was really scared.
"Everyone I'm going to ask Max for a refreshment. Puck come with me." I said and grabbed Puck to the little window in the front. I opened it up and Max turned around. But we saw the Black Night instead.
"I know that you were in my room." He said and continued, "I wonder if I should kill you now or later." When he turned around with a knife in his hand Puck punched him in the face.
"Go open the door," he said to me. I turned back around and saw the fake family coming at me. I quickly unlocked the door, but of course it wouldn't open. I looked around and the family was getting really close. I saw Puck punch the Black Night so that he was now unconscious.
I looked everywhere for a weapon and I finally saw a crowbar. I took it with Puck behind me and smashed the windows a couple of times. I took my hand and from the outside, I unlocked the door. We got out and ran away from the car until I bumped into someone and fell on top of them. I looked down and saw Daphne.
"Sabrina what's wrong?" She asked in her normal voice. Puck helped me off of her and when I got up I saw the whole family.
"Sabrina what happened, we were looking for you everywhere." Granny said. They were all real, thank god.
"Granny, the Black Night was going to kill us," I said. They all looked frightened and shocked.
"What do you mean liebling? The car is coming so you 2 can explain everything in their okay." We nodded and waited for the car to come. When we got in I sat next to Puck and Granny waited for us to talk.
"When you were going to call Max, a replica of the car came up to us and all of you were in it, but it wasn't you guys it was a fake family. We went in and Daphne and you were talking weird, but we didn't really freak out. Then Puck saw some of Red's skin peeling so we knew it wasn't really you guys. We wanted to escape so we went up to Max, but we saw the Black Night who said that he would kill us and Puck punched him until he was knocked out. I tried unlocking the door but it could only be opened from outside. I found a crowbar and cracked open the window and we escaped." I said slowly.
Everybody looked scared and frightened. Granny thought for a while then whispered to Mr. Canis and after a while he nodded. Then she began to whisper again. When they were done she made an announcement.
"It seems as if he is following our every move, but what scares me is how he knows where we are when we don't tell anyone. I think the best thing to do is put protection spells on us and our rooms. They won't let anyone harm us and for our rooms, no one will be allowed to enter unless you open the door. How does that sound?" Granny asked. We all nodded, but I still felt a little worried.
"I do not want anybody to worry. Once I put the spell on us we are entirely safe." Granny said. That made me relax a bit. When we got to the hotel we all went up to our rooms. Granny told us to wake up at 9:40 for breakfast and she will tell us what we'll be doing the next day.
I said goodnight and I went to my room with Puck behind me. I went to the bathroom and got into sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. Puck was in his boxers, again. I set my watch for 9:40am. I got my bed ready for me, but I didn't feel tired since it was 8:34. You could see that Puck wasn't tired either.
"So what do you want to do," I asked.
"I have no idea," he said. All of the sudden the door opened up and the whole family walked in.
"I am so sorry lieblings. I forgot that I had to give you the potion. I want everyone to take a sip of the bottle." Granny took the first sip and after everyone did. It tasted like cardboard. Once that was done Granny took out a wand and casted a spell over everyone's rooms.
"Now everyone you should be safe. So I want you all to sleep well. Goodnight lieblings." Granny said and then left with rest of the family. It was 9:24 and I was a bit tired and you could see Puck yawning. He turned to me and asked…
"Hey, do you know where my IPod is?"
"It was with us last night." I said.
"Can you help me look for it?" he asked and I nodded. We searched everywhere and when I looked under his bed, I found it in top of his green notebook. I forgot all about that. Now I'm wondering what he's said about me for the past couple days. I would have to read it some other day, but were friends now, I can't do that to him. I'll think about it later. I took his IPod and got out from under the bed and saw him looking in the closet.
"I found it, it must've fell when we were listening to it last night" I said. He looked up and saw that it was in my hands. He came up to me.
"Thanks Sabrina wouldn't know what I would do without it," he said cherishing it.
"It's just an IPod Puck," I said.
"With 7,947 songs on it. It took me a long time to download all of it." He said.
"Well, I hope you had fun doing it. I'm going to sleep" I said and turned off my light while getting into bed. I felt really safe and magical, must've been the potion.
"Goodnight Sabrina," he said silently while turning off his light.
"Goodnight Puck," I said and drifted off into a deep sleep.
So how was it? Please review and sorry again that I have updated in a while. There wasn't much Puckbrina in it, but everyone needs a good mystery. Also, can anyone write a review or message me saying if they want more or less Puckbrina. It would help a lot. Thanks.
