Chapter Ten
Sabrina's P.O.V.
I was lying in bed, with the paper from the Reading in my hands. Puck was probably at the meetings or something, Daphne making potions, and Mustardseed…following Daphne. I didn't get out of bed since the Reading, because I needed to figure this out. I had managed to figure out Ack, which was probably attack.
It was now read:
Attack t usk.
"But?" I murmured. "Attack but dusk? Attack but musk?"
I was pretty sure it was dusk, because it would make sense if it was Attack at Dusk. Something sparked in my brain, t, must've been at!
"Attack at dusk," I thought aloud.
I smiled to myself. That was probably right! I decided to stop searching because I was already almost done. I put the paper in my drawer and smiled to myself.
The baby was already growing bigger, and she/he was kicking hard. My stomach was bulging and I rubbed it. I really needed to decide on the name of the baby girl.
I liked Allison, Bianca, Rachel, and Kaitlyn. They were pretty names. I sighed with content, and decided I wanted to have some more ice cream. I trudged to the kitchen, and got a bowl of chocolate icecream. I felt comfortable and relieved. Everything was going so well. I had changed out of those jeans and shirt into a baggy shirt with sweats. The skies were cloudy, but I liked cold days.
BAM! The door slammed open and I saw Puck racing to where I was.
"Sabrina," Puck said hurriedly. "Something happened to Mustardseed! We need to get to him, pronto!"
I smiled at him. "Okay, Puck, let's go. But, guess what! I figured out the first part of the-"
Puck shushed me and pulled out a fairy godmother wand from his pocket. He changed me into patterned leggings with brown boots. My shirt was thick and red.
His wings popped and we were out of the door, flying. I managed to drop the icecream on the kitchen table.
I pouted a little. Puck hadn't listened to what I found out! But, I realized that his brother was important. We were at the infirmary in a blink.
Puck treaded the ground lightly and sped to Mustardseed's room.
We went inside of the door, and saw General Seven, Daphne, and Nurse Sprat sitting next to Mustardseed.
"…he was messing around with the ingredients, and it exploded," Daphne said.
I noticed she had tear-stained cheeks and puffy eyes.
"We'll need some of that See-Through potion of yours, Daphne," Nurse Sprat replied. "We need to see what got into his system. It's probably minor, and no need for surgery."
Puck sighed in relief, and General Seven realized that we were in here.
"You heard of what happened?" General Seven asked.
"Didn't he faint while messing around with the cauldron?" Puck demanded.
General Seven nodded. "We need to see what got into him, and then we'll decide is he needs surgery."
Puck set me down and Nurse Sprat gave me a tired smile.
"How's the baby?" Nurse Sprat asked curiously.
"She or he is doing well," I answered, rubbing my stomach, "We're thinking of names for the girl."
Daphne looked up slowly.
"What names?" Daphne whispered.
Puck's eyes widened when he saw Daphne's puffy eyes and vulnerability.
"Allison, Bianca, Kaitlyn, and Rachel," Sabrina answered.
"Allison," Daphne automatically said.
"One vote!" Sabrina commented and Puck grumbled.
"I like Bianca," Puck muttered.
"What happened?" a drowsy voice mumbled and all heads snapped to Mustardseed.
"Brother!" Puck cried.
"Puck, where am I?" Mustardseed sniffed, closing his eyes. "Who are these people?"
Everybody gasped. Why didn't Mustardseed remember anything?
"Mustardseed, what do you remember?" Puck demanded, his brow furrowed.
"I just remember a girl punching me," Mustardseed softly said. "I think her name was… Fiona Hyalite Roxbury…"
Puck looked confused now. "What are you talking about? Is it someone in Faerie?"
"Well," Nurse Sprat slowly said, "We have no need for surgery, but we'll double check everything. I need to know what happened."
General Seven had a grave look on his face.
"Everybody, let's go," General Seven ordered and Sabrina and Puck reluctantly moved. Only Daphne was staying in the room, but General Seven didn't say anything.
When they were out, I said in a low voice, "I'm worried about Daphne now. She's getting quite attached to Mustardseed."
"It'll be fine," Puck said, but there was doubt in his voice.
A gloomy cloud washed over us. I hated this. I didn't like this! I hated people getting hurt and people not having the answers!
I frowned and closed my eyes and I listened to the wind whistling in my ears as we flew back home. Then, I heard the door opening, then slamming shut. I felt a tap on my bed in that time period. When I opened my eyes, I was in bed, wearing my sweats and a baggy shirt.
Puck was sitting next to me, on the bed. He had changed into something comfortable too.
I took this time to talk to him.
"Puck, let's talk about us," I said, and Puck stared at me.
"What do you mean?" Puck asked carefully, gripping my hands.
"We haven't had much time together," I answered. "We're caught up in all of these war plans, and we barely talk and do things together."
"Do you want to talk now?" Puck asked, looking me in the eyes.
"I don't want to talk," I said slowly, "I want to do something else…"
I leaned into Puck and our lips met in forever. Puck's mouth was slightly chapped but I didn't care. We spread apart, and Puck stared into my eyes for like a minute.
"All better?" Puck inquired and he put a strand of my hair behind my ear.
I gave him a grin, until sharp pain was felt in my stomach. I doubled over in pain and Puck's eyes widened.
"Sabrina, what's wrong?" Puck cried, grabbing me.
The pain disappeared slowly.
"It's nothing," I gasped, breathing in the air.
"Is something wrong with the baby?" Puck asked worriedly.
"No," I answered. "It just feels like either it's kicking really hard, or even…fighting!"
"Is it normal?" Puck demanded.
"Yeah, babies usually kick and… stuff like that," I replied.
Puck sighed in relief. We were silent for a moment until Puck said, "What were you trying to tell me? You figured something out?"
My face broke into a smile. He remembered!
"Well, you know that-"
"Sabrina, Puck!" Daphne's voice called. "We have to go down to Court! Someone new was spotted!"
I sighed. Another meeting or something was up.
Puck changed me into my normal outfit and Puck did too. We went out of our bedroom and saw Daphne eating my chocolate ice cream I left on the table this morning.
"HEY!" I cried and snatched it away.
Daphne made a sheepish grin. Puck popped his wings out and grabbed me bridal style. Daphne propped up against his back.
We flew off to the Court Hall and we filed in. We sat in our normal places, and Mustardseed apparently was sitting there too.
Daphne took a seat next to Mustardseed and he squirmed uncomfortably. Daphne had a hurt look on her face, but it hardened like steel.
Puck noticed and squared his shoulders. I sighed.
"Attention!" General Seven boomed, banging his gavel. He was standing at the podium. "This is the trial of accepting another citizen to our camp. Fiona, please step up!"
A tall, cherry-haired girl with gorgeous green eyes stepped in. She was wearing a dress made of green silk.
"YOU!" Mustardseed cried, and flew onto the stage. Fiona raised her eyebrows, and gave the King a smile.
"You remember me?" Fiona said, smiling. She stepped up to Mustardseed. "I'm glad you do. This will really help with our relationship... Because I'm your new fiancé!"
