Grimm Disease: I am so sorry that it took me so long to update. A lot has happened theses past few weeks, or month? I- I can't even explain it because it would take too long to explain. I don't want to hold you guys up any long, so here you go!

I do not own Sisters Grimm, but I do own Linda's madness.

Chapter 8: Wands and Whatnot

Linda's POV

I followed down the stairs with Aunt Daphne, and was greeted by Tim, "Good morning Linda, How did you sleep?"

I smiled, "Just fine, thank you very much for asking." It seemed everyone was here except for Puck-

"What's to eat around here?" Oh never mind here he is. "I'm starved."

Daphne chirped, "I thought I would make some eggs and bacon, how does that sound?"

"Only eggs and bacon? Oh well, I guess that will do despite what I usually eat."Puck yawned, "Oh, and I was just looking forward to some flapjacks. Well I'll eat what I can get."

"Puck," Daphne growled, "I was asking Linda not you. And you should be thankful for what you get." Ha, take that Puck. "What do you think of breakfast Linda?"

"Um yeah, that'll be great." I'll take what I can get from these people.

I have to admit that Aunt Daphne is a pretty good cook. Despite the eggs colored blue, and the bacon tasting like cream cheese, it was pretty good. But I think that my appetite has been acting up lately because I've ate four servings. I worried because I never ate this much before.

"Linda I think we need to talk," Daphne said, "Can everyone please come into the living room?" We all got out of our seats and walked over to the living room.

"Soooo, what did you want to talk about?" I don't know why, but I hate lying to Aunt Daphne for some reason. Ugh, stop feeling guilty for her; you need to worry about mom first. Oh great, everyone is staring at me.

"We wanted to talk to you about the family business."

I smirked, "What do we own a store or something?"

I surprised Aunt Daphne, "Uhh not exactly." Puck chuckled. Aunt Daphne continued, "You see Linda; it all started a long long time ago with your great-great-great-great"

"Yeah my great what exactly?" I can't believe I'm hearing this story again. Sure when I was a kid it was cute and all with my mom, but I'm not so sure about it now.

"Look guys, thanks for offering the history lesson and all, but I think that I would rather, oh I dun no, read some of these books." I picked up a book called, "How to Catch a Fighting Leprechaun."

"Or maybe not," I said putting the book down. Puck glared at Aunt Daphne.

"I told you she wouldn't care. We should just ignore her and look for Sabrina ourselves."

"Puck! She's right there! Can you TRY to learn some manners!" Daphne scowled. I'm confused now, what makes them think that they can find mom?

"Marshmallow, do you know who you are talking too? I'm Puck, the Trick-"But Aunt Daphne made slashing motions I guess to tell him to stop talking.

I scoffed, "This is ridicules. What makes you people think that you can find my mom better than the police? I mean the thought is just plain absurd."

Puck walked right up to me and put his putrid face right in front of mine, "Listen twerp, there's two good reasons why we can find Sabrina better than the police: one, they have already gave up the search."

"What makes you think that that's true?" I shouted back. "This is the police we are talking about; I'm sure they can handle it. It's nothing that they haven't been trained for."

"And that's when you're wrong brat, because of reason two: we already know who took Sabrina and that the police haven't been trained for it." Puck grinned his stupid face right in front of mine. I was starting to get scared, how much did they know? I know that they know some things, but how much? Do they really know who took her? I don't even know who took her.

"That's enough Puck, you're scaring Linda," Granny Veronica said. "I think it's about time that we show her, then we'll give our little history lesson."

"Show me what exactly?" I asked. I was getting curious now. How well trained was this family of mine anyway? Could they actually find my mom?

Veronica walked up to me and hugged me, "Sweetie, we want to show you the first of many to come."

Now she's just confusing me, "What's with the speaking in rhythms?"

Daphne smiled, "You'll see. Now let's go." Everyone but me got up and walked to another part of the house; I followed close behind.

Tim opened the door to one of the rooms upstairs. He looks so happy, it kind of worried me. After I walked into the room I heard him saying to Aunt Daphne, "Oh man, I'm so excited! I remember when I first saw. She's going to have so much fun!" I gave a confused look to him. What did he think this is? Play-time? I'm way too old for this- oh right. They think I'm seven.

The room was bare except for a full-length mirror. I felt magic oozing out, but I had to be native. "What gives? Why is there only a mirror in here?"

Grandmother Veronica urged me towards the mirror, "Go look for yourself, dear." I started toward the mirror. "Now what do you see, Linda?"

". . . My reflection?" I said hesitantly. I thought this was magic! But all I see is my reflection. What gives?

If I was concentrating on my own reflection, then I would have seen Puck walk up right behind me grinning. "Look closer twerp. Maybe you're not ready yet."

THAT annoyed me. ME not READY? Oh I'll show him! I put my face right next to the mirror, my face just an inch from the surface. Again, I should of notice Puck right behind me, but I didn't.

A sudden force pushed into my back made me fall forward. I screamed scared that I would fall and break the mirror; however, I went into the mirror itself.

I looked around my new surroundings; it was a hallway with an endless supply of doors. I felt like I could look on forever and never stop seeing doors. All the doors had little plats next to them telling what was inside. When reading these doors I realize where all that magic I felt was coming from, whatever was in these doors was giving off an excess amount of magic. I was stunned, all this magic being held behind these odd looking doors. Stunning.

I felt hands clasped on my shoulders breaking me from the spell. I saw that they belonged to Aunt Daphne.

"I'm so sorry Linda. I didn't know that Puck was going to push you into the mirror. Puck say you're sorry this instant!" Puck near the entrance had that horrid foolish look on that disgusting face of his.

"Hey I thought it was funny. Sorry if the brat can't handle it."

Aunt Daphne fumed, "That's not an appropriate apology, Puck." Oh no, we are NOT wasting time on this argument because of Puck. These people just might actually be able to save mom.

"Look," I said, "its okay." I changed the subject, "This place is amazing!"

Henry came through the door, "Yeah I guess it is."

"How can you say that about this place? It's INCREDIBLE! This must magic!"

Aunt Daphne smiled, "I'm glad you think so. Because it's true. This is magic. Now come on, I want to show you a magical item that's very famous and popular to this family." I can't say that I wasn't eager; I stayed right next to Aunt Daphne as she lead.

We walked up to a room labeled WANDS. She pushed the door opened and everyone walked inside. The only thing in the room was a vase containing what I could guess wands of various sizes and shapes. Aunt Daphne walked up to the vase and delicately picked up a wand. It was a girly wand with a star at the end. (AN: Hey can you guess what wand it is? Yeah you probably can) She carried it over to me.

"Now before I can demonstrate how to use this wand, I have this special cream that your great-uncle Jake sent me from his trips." Aunt Daphne pulled out a can labled "No Magic Touch". She continued, "This cream will help you from a magic addiction."

They think that I'll get addicted to magic? Huh. Ever since I got these wings magic has always been with me. I used to get a tad weird when mom taught me how to use magic, but after it didn't affect me. Whatever, I'll play along. "Why would I get addicted to magic?"

Grandpa Henry interrupted Aunt Daphne, "You get lazy from using it too often. It will end up ruining your life."

". . . Um, really?" What is with him? He's so dark and scary. If I hadn't spoken then the awkward silence would probably have continued for hours.

"NO! er- no, that's not it," Daphne burst. She made us all jump, "Look, your mom-"

"Daphne," Puck warned, "There's no need to bring her up." I growled, how dare he keep me from learning more about my mom! Mom talked only a little about herself, not a lot though.

"Fine Puck," continued Daphne. "We don't want you to get addicted, okay. Too many good people get addicted and it really hurts them. Some never recover, and we don't want that to happen to you. Because the truth is magic always wants something from you, so use it carefully."

I'm speechless. Mom never told me about that. But I guess that's why she always made me stop practicing magic when I was getting used to it during practice. That's why she only gave me one practice a month. She was protecting me. "I'll use the cream."

Aunt Daphne happily squirted a little bit into my hands. While I rubbed the cream into my hands, which smelled like bananas, Aunt Daphne instructed me about the wand.

"Now, have you ever heard of Cinderella?" I nodded, "In the story, Cinderella has a godmother who gives her a gown and a carriage and what not with a wand. This is that wand." I gazed at the wand with utmost amazement. "The wand has another special ability to transform someone to look exactly like someone else. So I thought we could have you try it out by transforming some of us. I set the wand for three minutes of transformed time. All you have to do is imagine who you want the person to look like, spin the wand three times over the persons' head, and hit them in the head with it."

"Lightly," Grandma Veronica added.

"Right, so how about we get started. Why don't you start with me first?" She handed me the wand, I held it nervously. It was true that I didn't feel any magic, but I didn't want to transform Aunt Daphne. Focus Linda, this is all to help you save your mom.

Aunt Daphne bent down, allowing me full view of her head. I quickly thought of someone, made three circles with the wand on her head, and "Snow White!" I bopped her on the head. Maybe a little too hard.

In a matter of seconds Aunt Daphne made transformation into the loveliest woman I ever saw. She had this graceful nature to her that made me want to hug like I would with mom, but I refrained.

Snow Daphne rubbed her head, "A little lighter next time Linda, but it seems you got the hang of it."

"I personally liked her better before," said Tim red in the face.

"Oh Tim, nothing to be embarrassed about," joked Snow Daphne, "Besides, this will be a great time to tell Linda about tomorrow."

"What's tomorrow?" I asked.

"Well," she said, "I quickly signed you up for school, and tomorrow you'll be joining the other second graders with Ms. Snow White! (Not married) Oh you'll love her! She was my teacher when I was your age too."

"Why does Snow White live here?" I blurted out. I had to remind myself that I still don't know about the barrier yet.

"Oh! I guess I do need to talk to you about that don't I? Well why don't you transform Puck into someone, and we'll decide what to do next."

Puck looked shocked, "She is NOT transforming me!" Snow Daphne gave him a glare. Ugh! I hate him! I'll show him, I'll make him the ugliest thing I can think of.

I went up to him, did the whole ritual, and BAM! Puck turned into a hideous goblin.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!" Goblin Puck was seething. I swear, steam was coming out from his puss filled ears.

"Personally, I think that's an improvement," I quipped. Everyone started laughing except for Snow Daphne.

"I think we're done here for now Linda."

"But-"

"Don't worry Linda," Red said, "we can play some other time!" She smiled at me.

"Alright I guess."

"Good," said Aunt Daphne who had started to turn back. "Now I suggest what we do is talk about the 'history lesson' and then go for a tour of the town."

I thought for a second, these people are taking an interest in me, except Puck. Is it possible for me to have a new home? I don't know, but I'll work with them for now. "I'll listen."

A voice spoke from behind me, "Then come downstairs, Linda. Your family has much to tell you." I jumped a little; I had forgotten that Mr. Canis was there. But I did what he said nonetheless.

Daphne's POV

"You noticed too, child" Mr. Canis said to me. Everyone else left the room. Mr. Canis and I were left alone.

"I was hoping that that would happen, but I didn't think that it would."

"You shouldn't doubt yourself so much."

"I know, but now we know. What made you think that I found out?"

"You didn't laugh," he said simply. "You quickly realized how severe the situation was and took it seriously. How unlike you to do that, I've noticed."

I sighed, "We now know that it was goblins that took Sabrina. Not that I'd expect any less from the Scarlet Hand."

"You figured that Linda's emotions would reveal this?"

"I figured that it was a long shot, but why not try, I figured."

After a few seconds Mr. Canis continued, "You should tell him you know."

"Who?"

"Don't play dumb with me child, it doesn't suit you. How long do you plan for it to go unnoticed by your own husband, Tim?"

"I'll tell him tomorrow, I guess."

"He'll be happy you know. He's an upbeat guy. Why would you think different?"

"With what's going on, it's just a bad time."

"He'll understand. Now let us not keep everyone waiting." And we left the mirror.

Grimm Disease: Oye, what a chapter. SO sorry that it took me so long to update again. I want you to know that I do not plan on ever dropping this story ever, unless something really really bad happens, but let's hope not. So how many of you guess what wand it is? Brownie points for you! Sorry if you thought it was kinda obvious. I have a question for you guys, Should the next chapter be about the tour of the town or should I just skip and continue the story? It won't be necessarily important, but I could try to make it funny, it would be short and I don't think it will interfere with the chapter after that. So please tell me what you think! I'm skipping the history lesson because I really don't want to bore you guys with that. You know what happens, and if not, read the book! This chapter was hard to make because I wanted to drag it a bit in the beginning, but I didn't want it to be so slow. I also want to note that Part 2 is three days in time, so this is day 2, and unless you guys don't want the tour chapter, then the next chapter is day 3. That will be the longest day ever. Some finale thoughts. What is with Daphne? Will Puck and Linda ever get along? Will they find Sabrina? What's wrong with Linda? And what is that eggs and bacon recipe? OH! How many of you think that this is the madness? Well you're wrong! The madness hasn't even started. What do you say about that! Please review.
