Puck' POV

I sent my fairies off to every magic holding person in all of Ferryport Landing. They all said the same thing.

"Only true love's kiss can break the curse."

The only thing is, I already kissed her and then I still told the lie.

Knowing that I had no other choice, I moved to my father

The same father that banished me from his beautiful kingdom. The same one that said that he didn't want anything to do with me.

My daddy problems were going to have to wait because the girl that I loved was well out of her way out of my life.

I unfolded my wings and made my way to his kingdom. When I got close to the guard infested doors, I slowly flew to the ground.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "I would like to see King Oberon."

I could tell that the guards recognized my face, but they didn't say anything. They swiftly moved aside and the doors opened. The first face that I saw was Mustardseed's.

"Puck? What are you doing here? If Father sees you here, he's going to freak."

I waved him off, "I know. It's just that a curse was put on me and I thought that maybe, Father could help me."

I put emphasis on the word father because Oberon was never a father to me. He only needed me so that I could marry Moth but as everyone knows, that girl is crazy. I refused to marry her. It got even worse when Mustardseed was born. He always wanted me to be just like him. Mustardseed and I will always be brother and Titania will always be my mother, but that damn faerie scarred me for life and he will never be my father.

All my life people have called me stupid and not worth their time. Because of all of them, I didn't have the courage to date Sabrina. When she left, I had to do something with my life so I went to beauty school. It wasn't my first choice, but I accidently filled out the wrong form, and they accepted it. About two years after that, I dropped out and then applied to a drama college.

"Mustardseed, where is Oberon?" I asked trying to change the way my mind was going.

"He's in the dining hall with Mother."

I bid my brother a farewell and moved along to the dining hall.

When I arrived, Oberon was sitting in the chair that I had once ripped and faced a terrible punishment of being struck five times with a knight's belts.

"I don't want to hear anything about me being here. I just want to know one thing. Is there more than one way to break a curse?"

He looked as if he were about to scream at me but Titania nudged him.

"Yes. You can break a curse by true love's kiss or showing a true act of love. You should know this you, idiotic child. Isn't that how that girl that you're obsessed with did to get rid of Mirror?"

I walked over to the chairs and gave my mother a hug then turned to leave the room. To leave the castle that holds so many memories for me.

Sabrina text me to ask if I could come and get her from her practice as soon as I walked out of my childhood prison.

I pulled up to the gym, but Brina wasn't standing outside. I got out of the car and heard a large object hit the floor.

I turned toward the office door and through the small glass window, I could see the large boss cornering Sabrina. There were tears streaming down her face.

I tried to open the door but it was locked.

I ran to the gym, and grabbed a dumbbell. Using it, I broke the glass.

After breaking the glass, I didn't remember anything else.

Sabrina's POV

I paced around the lobby of the hospital while biting my nails.

"Brina!"

Uncle Jake came rushing at me and pulled me into a hug.

"Are you okay?" Daphne asked me.

"I'm fine, but Puck in the room. He was bleeding really badly. And he was screaming things about Oberon while his eyes were closed."

"So I take it that the blood on your shirt isn't yours."

I looked down at the shirt that I was wearing. I hadn't even realized that this was the shirt that Puck had given me when we went on our first date. He had taken me to the beach and my bathing suit was acting up. Instead of being the child that I knew that he could be, he asked a woman if she could bring me his shirt to put over the bathing suit that I had.

The tears came even harder and Granny pulled me into a hug.

Then I looked at Daphne.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I screamed at her, "Your boyfriend is probably in that room dying and you look as if you don't even care. He was bleeding and you standing there like you don't love him. Let me tell you something, sister, he is the best man that you will ever meet and you shouldn't let him go because when he's gone, he's gone and you will never get him back."

My voice died at that moment and I felt horrible for what I had just said.

Before I got to apologize, Daphne pulled me into a hug, "I know you don't mean it."

Sometimes I wondered how I had become so lucky to have such an understanding sister.

/ / / /

It had felt like ages before a nurse had come out and said that Puck was in stable condition and that he only had to stay in the hospital for two weeks while his wounds healed and they could take the stitches out. She also told us that we could go into his room one at a time to visit him.

Granny went in first, then Uncle Jake, and then Daph.

They all thought that it would be best for them to go home after that so I told them I would walk home.

I walked into Puck's room and my hand went straight to my mouth. His face was red, purple and completely swollen. His shirt was pulled up so that I could see his stomach. My eyes used to be drawn to his abs, but today they went straight to the stitches covering his stomach.

Tears swelled in my eyes.

"Don't cry."

I couldn't. He looked so broken.

"Bri," his voice was frail, "Come over here so you can tell me exactly how I ended up here.

I took a deep breath and started the story, "While I was waiting for you to show up, Martin had asked me to come into his office to see the dance that Cora had created and saved onto his computer. When I went in, he locked the door and started telling me that he had sharp glass in his drawer so if I screamed, he would stab me. He started saying things about "he would have his way with me. Then you showed up and started screaming about Oberon and you grabbed Martin's arm. He dragged you to the drawer and pulled out broken glass and stabbed you. When you fell to the ground, he ran off. I called the police and rode with you here."

Puck made an attempt to laugh, "After all these years, the only things that have taken me down are glass and a very bad apple."

I knew that he was referring to the apple that made him sleep and my kiss woke him up. Any other day, I would have laughed, but I didn't think it was funny right not. So I told him so.

"Puck, this is ruining me. Today I realized that you were right. I shouldn't always have to be the soldier. I also realized that life is short so you have to be honest with yourself until the end."

I took a deep breath and continued, "I still love you. I always have and always will. You save me a lot and I think that it means that you love me too. But you're dating Daphne and I know that she loves you and I can't take that away from her."

Puck shushed me, "Sabrina, Daphne doesn't love me. At least, not like you do. She loves me as a brother and I to her as a sister. Daphne and I aren't dating."

I was so confused. Then I remembered the confused look he gave me when he told me that they were dating.

"Puck," I asked, "Did Daphne put you under a spell?"

He nodded, very faintly.

Puck's POV

The excitement in my head was uncontrollable but I couldn't smile or do anything of the sort without conflicting pain on myself.

I had performed the act of true love by saving Brina from that man.

I was no longer under the curse.

"Puck, can you do me a favor?"

I didn't want to see Sabrina cry again so I said, "I will if it doesn't require me getting up."

She forced a smile, "Pretend that I don't know about the lie, okay. Keep pretending that you're dating Daphne. I want to show her a lesson."

"No problem," I said.

Sabrina pecked me on the cheek softly and turned to walk out the door.

"Hey, Bri?"

She turned.

"It's not your fault."

She faked a horrible smile and walked out of the door.

Author's Note: This is the longest chapter that I wrote so I would love to hear some comments about it.
