Well, this is me posting again… within the year. Hopefully it stays constant. Anyway… sorry about the last chapter. I accidentally cut off the last few paragraphs haha… yeah, so if you want to go back and finish that one off feel free to before we begin this one. Thanks for the reviews! They really do help to inspire me!

Sabrina and Puck walked in silence. She trotted steadily along the dense forest floor and he walked behind her flitting back and forth constantly distracted by the oddities within the green foliage.

Puck broke the silence first. "Sooo… I'm really confused about your whole healing episode last night…"

"O.k.," Sabrina answered shortly. There were several more beats of silence before she looked back at him. He gazed at her expectantly. "You want me to set your straight? I already told you. You didn't listen."

"Let's just say I don't want to be walking around in the woods with a crazy person. I need to know what's going on in your head, so if you could just spell it out for me, that would be great." He gave her a sarcastic grimace.

Sabrina, unnecessarily annoyed, sighed. She quickened her pace while Puck trailed her by a few feet.

"Do you remember a few months ago when I fell off of the cliff?"

Puck nodded in response. Realizing she didn't see it, he said, "Yeah?"

"And you caught me out of the air and saved me?"

"Yeah…"

"I think I fell because one of those red fairies dropped a rock on my head. They tried to get me again outside of my window that night that Granny told us about the eclipse."

Puck nodded, but didn't respond.

Sabrina continued. "Obviously they were the ones behind the fire. I have no idea why they want to hurt me. I didn't do anything to them. And last night, I had this weird dream. I was watching someone talk to the red fairies. That person was like the leader of the fairies. They said… uh… that they were planning on killing humans… but they wanted to keep 'him' alive. I don't know who they were talking about. It was a super weird dream and it freaked me out."

Puck thought for a really long time before answering. "I think I know who it may have been."

Sabrina stopped walking and turned around. The sun was on its way down towards the horizon and a slightly chilly draft began propping up against the trees.

"Well…," Sabrina demanded lightly.

Puck looked uncomfortable. "I know a girl named Moth that controls red fairies as minions. She's not exactly fond of me. She's back in New York with my mother and father. I don't understand why she would send her fairies here to bully you. I haven't talked with her since I left New York."

Sabrina felt uneasy in her stomach. "How do you know her?"

"She's one of my, uh… cousins…" Puck responded.

"And you don't know why her fairies are here?" Sabrina interrogated.

"No, I have no idea. And besides they could be someone else's for some other bizarre reason. Maybe the dream you had meant nothing and they're just here to be a little mischievous and they chose you. Good luck does not run in your family."

Sabrina shot him a look. "Not mischievous, murderous."

The wind picked up, causing Sabrina to shiver. "We should keep moving," Sabrina said. "We haven't even reached the river yet."

"O.k. so what about the whole healing thing…?" Puck continued, keeping a pace directly behind her as they jogged deeper into the woods.

"About the same time the fairies started harassing me, I woke up one day with a dark spot in the middle of my chest. I thought it might be a bruise at first, but it didn't hurt to touch. It was right over my heart and it began to cover my whole body."

"So that's why you wore so many clothes during training…"

"Uh, yeah," Sabrina said. "Anyway, when I woke up in the hospital after the fire it was all gone."

"That's weird."

"You don't believe me, do you?" Sabrina asked.

"I believe that you believe it."

Sabrina called him a torrent of names that should not be recorded due to the intensity of the expletives. However, with how dry and weak her voice was, and the rushing noises of the wind, there was very little that Puck heard himself.

After she finished, they walked several more miles before they reached the small river they needed to cross. It was twelve or thirteen feet wide and there were no bridges in sight. The water rushed about chilling the air considerably and splashing up bubbles occasionally. Sabrina felt the cold by simply looking at it.

"I'm not sure how deep it goes. Maybe if we rolled a few boulders in, we would be able to cross it by hopping them," Sabrina suggested. When she got no answer she looked back at Puck. He stood a few feet away giving her a strange look and holding his arms out towards her.

"Why do you have to make everything so complicated, Grimm? Come on." He crushed her in a bear hug and released his wings, hoisting them both up into the air.

Sabrina gasped at the sudden jarring movement. She had closed her eyes but she was still able to hear and feel the river beneath them as Puck flew above it. When they reached the other side, Puck set her down and brushed specks of water from his jeans.

"You could have asked first," Sabrina said, pursing her lips.

Puck smiled at her gleefully. "I did ask."

"Not to carry me!"

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Obviously I missed it." With that, Sabrina turned around to face the forest. A small path that looked like an animal trail to Sabrina sat several feet away, leading into the trees. They followed it for about half an hour before finding a small copse where they could rest for the night. The wind had grown considerably, causing Sabrina and Puck to shout at each other in order to be heard.

They nestled down next to several tall bushes that protected them from a majority of the wind. They pulled some cold jerky out of their packs for a short supper. Sabrina grew tired of hers quickly and offered the rest to Puck, who surprisingly turned her down.

"You eat it," he said. Sabrina was going to throw it away, but the way he looked at her made her reconsider, and she finished the jerky with discontent.

After dinner they created separate nests of blankets to keep the heat in for themselves as the sun sunk further and further to the ground. The wind grew even colder and it wasn't long before Sabrina's teeth were chattering furiously.

Sabrina broke their silence. "Still aw-wake?" she mumbled.

"Yeah. Why are you?" was the reply.

Sabrina barked a short laugh. "Cause I'm f-freezing my b-butt off."

"Stop being such a wussy."

"Are you k-kidding me?! It's like freakin' negative 30 degrees!"

"Okay, now you're being overdramatic."

Sabrina let out a stressed groan that ended in a pathetic whimper. They sat there for several more seconds.

Puck let out a loud sigh before sitting up, grabbing onto Sabrina's blankets, and yanking them all the way over to his left. The action was so violent that Sabrina had rolled out of her blankets and onto the damp forest floor.

"Gaah!" she screeched. "What the heck?!"

Puck was busy readjusting Sabrina's blankets into his. "Come on, Grimm. Before your butt falls off."

"Well, I will not-"

"Do you want to survive the night or not?" Puck interrupted.

Sabrina mulled it over for exactly three seconds before a particularly large gust of wind nearly knocked her off her feet.

"Fine!" she growled as she crawled into the safety of the blankets next to Puck.

They listened to the wind blowing for several seconds.

Sabrina thought about asking him why he was doing this, unfortunately, he turned his back to her before she could ask. Following suit, Sabrina felt slightly uncomfortable on the ground, however the heat emanating from Puck's back seeped into her and she was able to fall into a fitful sleep.
