Grimm Disease: Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews, you guys are awesome! Thank you for continuing to read my story. Time for the next Chapter!
Don't own Sisters Grimm I guess.
Chapter 12: Meeting Daddy Howard
Linda's POV
Oh no. No, no, no, NO! This can't be happening! Why is my dad here? He said that he didn't want to take care of me, didn't he?
Aunt Daphne decided to be friendly, "So, Howard is it?" My father let out a bored "Yeah" which startled everyone. "Oh," she responded. "Well how are you?" He just glared at her.
Grandpa Henry banged his fist on the wall behind him, "What do you want? Was getting my daughter pregnant and leaving your kid not enough?"
"Henry!" Grandma Veronica scorned.
Dad smirked, "No, in fact I've seen the error of my ways and have come to take Linda back home with me and her grandmother." Everyone including me was astonished.
Me more than the others, "What? Take me back? But I don't know if I want to-"
Dad shot me down, "Quite! You don't have a say! You're coming home with me and that's that!"
I ran to Aunt Daphne and clutched her arm, "Don't make me leave with him, please!"
She patted my arm and turned to her husband, "Tim," she whispered, "Do something." Uncle Time gathered what courage he had.
"Now see here, what makes you think that you can take Linda from us?"
Dad pulled out some papers, "Besides being her father, I have legal rights right here." He pointed to a section in the documents, "These state that Linda is under my authority and belongs to me until I die."
Puck stepped up, "You know that can be arranged." Dad got scared but pulled himself together to look Puck in the eye.
Puck continued, "Why did it take you so long to find her now? Why do you even want her now instead of all those years ago?"
"You people ask a lot of questions," Dad sighed. "I had to go to the damn social services agency just to find Linda. Those idiots took up too much of my time."
Puck did not back down, "But why now? Why look for Linda now? Is it possible that you could care for her? It seems incapable for your type."
This was becoming a glare fight, "Besides for how much I care for Linda, there are certain beneficial variables that would help me economically for taking her in again."
Uncle Basil spoke up, "What do you mean by 'beneficial variables'?"
"I mean that the government will pay me to take Linda off their hands." I started to tear up. He didn't come here because he cared for me after all.
"No," Aunt Daphne protested, "I am not having Linda taken into homes by someone who wanted her for money. That's what happened to me and Sabrina, and it's not happening to her." I looked up at my aunt. Is this true? Do they care about me this much?
Dad grunted, "Look, I have the government behind my backs on this one, so hand her over. Besides, isn't it better to have her raised by me instead of you freaks? And don't act like I don't know." Dad had shocked everyone again, he knows? He knows about Everafters? How? I didn't think that mom would tell him.
Mr. Canis stepped up in front of Dad looming over him, "Sir, you don't know what freaks are. Even if you did know, you haven't seen anything."
This wasn't looking so good. Dad was shaken, "Linda, I want you to pack your bags right now. We are leaving this freak show."
Puck went up to Dad, "Freak show? Surely you're kidding. You need to stop that nonsense." He paused, "Freak."
"Come on!" Dad complained, "If I know Sabrina, then you should all be freaks like her."
Puck glared down at him, "Excuse me? You don't know Sabrina."
It was funny how Dad tried to get taller than Puck but failed, "You heard me. Why are you so defendant anyways? What did you love her?" He mocked, "Trust me; she's not even worth it. She's just a bi-"
Puck grabbed Dad by the throat, "Now you listen here, no one makes fun of Sabrina but me. Anything else?"
"Umm Puck," Red said nervously, "You're showing."
"Huh?" Puck looked behind him, and indeed he was showing. He was showing his wings. Big pink butterfly wings that look just like, just like mine. They look just like mine.
Wait! He has the same wings as me, the time frame of my birth is correct, and he loves mom. But he couldn't. But he could. I started hyperventilating.
"Linda what's wrong!" Aunt Daphne caught me before I fell. "Puck put your wings back. Linda has never seen them before."
"I knew that you all were a bunch of freaks! I knew it!" Dad just kept pointing at Puck.
I couldn't take this anymore. I pushed Aunt Daphne away and ran out of the house into the forest. Everyone began calling from behind me.
I was far from the house when my back began to hurt again.
Puck's POV
"You heard me. Why are you so defendant anyways? What did you love her?" He mocked, "Trust me; she's not even worth it. She's just a bi-"
I grabbed his throat, "Now you listen here, no one makes fun of Sabrina, but me. Anything else?"
"Umm Puck," said the psychopath in red, "You're showing."
I looked behind me, apparently I was so mad at this Howard fellow that I went into offensive mode to fight him; bringing out my wings accidently. No matter, forgetful dust can fix him. "Huh," I said.
Then of course the twerp had to take all the attention away from me by freaking out. Everyone started freaking out and next thing I knew, Linda ran away.
"What's her problem?" I stated broadly.
Veronica answered me, "Puck, Linda has never seen your wings before. It probably scared her."
"Big deal," I said. But everyone started going outside, including Howard.
"Let's go search for her," Howard said.
"Why do you care?" I questioned. He didn't answer me. "Wait. Instead of everyone going and searching for her, why don't we just use my pixies to find her? Then we can just bring her back to us."
"Good idea Puck," cheered Daphne. "Hop to it!" I grabbed my flute about and played the notes. Soon enough my pixies appeared.
"Guys I need you to find a kid. Looks like Sabrina. Once you find her hold her down and lead us to her." They went off.
We waited.
I turned to Howard, "Why are you out here anyway. You don't care for her."
He looked back at me, "Besides what you think, I still don't want her to turn out like you."
"Why?"
"Sabrina just asked me if anything happened to her to keep her away from here." I was shocked.
"What? Why would she say that?"
"I don't know, and I didn't think about going through with it until money was involved," he grinned.
I was about to punch him then and there, but the pixies came back.
Linda's POV
Crap crap crap crap! Not now! I can't change now! What to do? What to do! I noticed some lights from behind me closing in fast.
"Here she is! Here she is!" They cried. I was surprised that I could understand them. They began to suppress me from running away.
"Stop! Stop!" I shrieked. "Let me go now!" Surprisingly enough, they actually let me go. They caught me off guard and I fell down. "What?"
"We are so sorry princess," they chirped, and they flew away.
"What just happened?" I would have stayed there for the rest of the night wondering what had happened, but my back got pierced with pain. I got off my knees and continued running into the woods.
Puck's POV
"What do you mean you couldn't get her!" I yelled. Stupid pixies, "Never mind. Just go." This was going to be harder than I thought. I turned to the others, "Looks like we'll have to look for her ourselves. But the pixies did tell me what direction she went. If we hurry we should get to her soon."
"Then let's go," said Marshmallow; then we all ran except for Henry, Veronica, and Jake.
We soon caught up to Linda running. She was slowing down, but not because she was tired. She seemed to have some sort of pain slowing her down.
Linda fell down on her knees in agony. Marshmallow started running up to her, "Linda! Are you okay?" She only screamed.
Howard stood behind me, "Hurry up Linda, we don't have all day. I want to make the next train." I glared at him, could he try to learn some manners?
When Marshmallow finally reached Linda, she pushed her away. I will never forget what happened next.
Linda threw her head back in pain, clutching her face so much she almost tore it off. Her hair went wild all around her head. Linda just kept screaming and screaming. Then, magical energy whirled around her until; all was silent.
Linda just kneeled there for a few seconds, silent. But then, she screamed while two insect wings burst from her back. Wings that looked just like mine. Wings like mine.
But it didn't stop there. Marshmallow had withdrawn to standing by her husband away from Linda; which was good because Linda went on fire. Flames engulfed her entire body, but she was not scorched. Instead she continued into a gruesome transformation again.
Her hands became clawed, her jawed crooked, her back arched, and her eyes of death. I have only seen this image once before when my mother max out all her shopping cards on Black Friday. Linda looked just like her.
The monstrous Linda flew away into town.
Everyone was shocked with fear except Tim, "Let's go to the car to catch up with." That woke everyone up and we ran back into the house into the car.
"I wonder what's with Linda?" questioned Tim aloud. Howard just looked out the window annoyed with the whole situation.
"Tim," said Marshmallow quietly, "She looked just like Queen Titina. I saw her like that when your father died, Puck." She hesitated, "I know it's assumed, but Puck, she's your daughter. I'm sure of it."
I didn't answer her at first, "Yeah, she is. But she's obviously not told us the whole truth." I took a deep breath, "She's moved into town threatening everyone. We have to stop her."
Grimm Disease: Whoo. Another chapter finished. I don't think that I'd plan for Puck to actually attack Howard, but he deserved it. And everyone can stop being so anxious for when Linda shows her wings. It's happened! With a twist! For better description, just think of book 4 of the serious when Titina (hope I spelled her name right) transforms. I trying to make you guys think that Howard is basically a huge *insert worse insult of your choice* so no feeling bad for him. I was worried before that I would make him kind when he was talking to Puck while waiting for pixies, but then I turned it around. Hope the language doesn't bother you, but I'm try to make Howard a big *insert worse insult of your choice* for you to understand better. Puck isn't trying to be a jerk in the end, but he's thinking of the situation and it's hard for him to do that. Part 2 is almost finished! Then the real fun starts! Thanks for reading and please review! Let all reviews help Puck get through this madness!
