Heyyyy! I'm so tired right now, but I'm gonna write this anyway. And also, I'm gonna do a part based on Puck's point of view. Most of this chapter is gonna be like that. See how it goes. :)
And she didn't cry over him the next day either. When she had gotten home, she had bypassed everyone in her family, even her mother. When Veronica had tried to explain that this was the best way for Sabrina to have found out, she simply turned around, smiled coldly, and said,
"That jerk can stay with his fiance. I don't need him. I will never need another boy in my entire life. I plan to stay single till the day i die."
Her mother had looked at her, astonished. She had asked her whether or not she had allowed Puck to explain the situation, and Sabrina had said that he didn't have to explain.
Then she had walked off and gone to bed.
Daphne had tried talking to her older sister, but Sabrina seemed to have blocked the memory of Puck from her mind. She refused to talk about it, and when she caught Veronica and Relda on the phone on countless occasions whispering in hushed voices, she hadn't even stopped to listen. Instead, she had walked out, choosing to put the Queen of Sneaks act on hold.
The rest of the week goes by, and other than the constant meetings that Henry and Veronica have to attend to, along with Granny, everything is completely ordinary.
Basil misses Puck, and the family can tell that the break-up has had a big effect on the youngest Grimm. He had looked up to Puck, who had been like a brother to him. Now that he was gone, there was only Red again.
And so Sabrina continued pretending everything was fine.
Until it happened.
...
Puck was furious. Furious with his parents, furious with Moth, even furious with Sabrina. But who he was most furious at was himself.
He couldn't figure out a way to distract the guards so he could sneak out. The wedding had been moved to two weeks time, due to Sabrina's unexpected visit.
Puck had never felt this way before. Especially not about a girl. He had lived for over four thousand years, and he had never aged. He had stayed as a teenager his whole life. Until she came along.
Sabrina Grimm had turned his life upside down. She had made him feel... purposeful. He felt as if she was the only one who could make him feel as if he really did have a place in this world, and it wasn't all just pranks and games.
He was growing up.
For a girl.
And it probably didn't help that he was engaged to a deranged psychopath who only wanted him for his royal advantages.
He had wanted to tell Sabrina, he really had. But every time he felt like he was ready, something would get in the way. It just wouldn't come out.
And then there was the whole thing with Veronica Grimm being his parents' adviser, and the old lady helping around the Fae community. And the long, tedious phone calls he had to answer from them, asking him exactly what had happened and why he didn't act and when he wanted them to come over to discuss marriage cancellations with his parents.
But it was all worth it. In the end, he would be able to get her. And she would be worth it.
...
Puck was busy lying on his bed, trying to think of a way to distract the guards positioned all over the castle, not to mention the whole kingdom, in case the Crown Prince tried to run away.
He heard his door open and close and sat up to find his younger brother, Mustardseed, standing in the middle of the room. He nodded at Puck and came to stand by his bed.
"Hello, brother," he said. Puck smiled grimly and said "Hi."
"What are you up to, Puck?"
Puck stared at his brother for a long time. He had told Mustardseed about his situation, and he had offered to talk to their parents about it. But so far, nothing had worked.
His younger brother was determined to escape the Kingdom himself. He claimed that the rules and regulations of the land of Fae were not for him. He wanted to travel the world, meet new people, maybe even start a new life.
Mustardseed was quite the dreamer. He often told Puck of his fantasies, and it would be one of the rare sibling moments they shared.
The brothers had often dreamed about living normal lives. Puck had had to move to numerous schools, all because of his aging problem. He could never stay in one place too long, otherwise they would have noticed that he was not growing up, or that his features never changed.
It was hard, but they had managed to live in the real world, just long enough for Mustardseed to be able to experience what it was like to rule a kingdom. The king and queen, along with Puck, had taken a vacation to the human world. They had sent Puck to school, hoping to improve his maturity levels.
Sadly, it wasn't that easy.
Puck frowned at the younger boy. He had that spark in his eyes. Puck noticed that this only happened when Mustardseed was onto something. Something bigger.
"What are you thinking of, Mustard? It better not be something bad. And it better not be something good, either. Are you thinking about escaping from here? Because I am. I need to go see Sabrina. I need to explain things. Can you get us out of here?"
Mustardseed looked at his brother and grinned. Now usually, Puck was the one who came up with all the devious plans, but this time, it was his turn.
"Listen up, brother. I have a feeling we can get ourselves out of here."
