AN: Well, thanks to everyone who voted, I was voted the SECOND best author of the Sisters Grimm with Betrayal From Within. So, YAY!!! It's especially great for me, because I'm probably the youngest person on this site (No, not ten, 11, or twelve, but still young)
It's funny, my parents told me I had been reading since I was one, but I REALLY started reading when I was six (Think Eragon and such here) after I got pissed at my teacher because I couldn't read books the grade twos should be reading by the end of the year. That weekend, I threw every book off my shelf and read them all, going to my mom or dad for help whenever I needed it. After that, I was put on special reading programs, all the books given to me done in a day. I could spell elephant and transportation by the end of the week (For a six year old, do you know how BIG that is?)

Nobody thought I knew what was going on. But I did know. I wasn't stupid, nor was I naive, like most people think. I have brains exactly like my sisters, yes I do!
I inherit that and the fragile ability to read thoughts.
Well, I can't read thoughts yet, but I can guess 'em!
If people knew what I really thought, they'd say I was a mini male version of Sabrina. Except I'm not a Guardian.
Which is exactly why I am here in this creepy hospital, because Sabrina's having a bit of a breakdown.
"Wake up." I shook Sabrina's shoulder as hard as I could. "Wake up. Wake up Sabrina, Granny actually made normal food!" I tried everything while I tried to manoeuvre around Puck's sleeping form, Daphne and Charlie trying to stifle their laughter. I turned on them.
"It's not funny, this is a sewious isswue." I said to them pointedly. "Sabwina cannot stay in a c- com- co- commatwose (He's saying it like Comma, so no misspelling) any wonger!" This brought them into full out laughter. "You two are insane." I grumbled, once again turning to my oldest sister. As I did so, Puck's eyes fluttered open, and he screamed.
"Holy crap!, Geeze, what the- Hunter!" Puck flung his body around causing me to fly. He was lucky though, because he caught me in time and my mommy wasn't in the room.
"Silly Puck." I waggled my finger at him.
"W-what he do know? H-Hunter, did you tell him Tricks are for kids again?" Sabrina grumbled, her eyes opening slightly. "Because for the last time, that's insane. Puck doesn't nor has he ever believed that." She grumbled, throwing the blankets off of her body. I jumped out of Puck's hands and nearly strangled her as I hugged her.
"Sabwina!" I cried. I gave her a big kiss then began hugging her again.
"Aw. Hunter." She giggled. I looked up at her smiling face and notice her eyes were turned to Puck, lost in thought and concentration. Daphne picked me up, and we left the room, Charlie behind us.
Mommy then barged through the door down the hall behind a whole lotta people dressed in suits.
"No, that's not a logical explanation! I want a retrial!" She was screaming at them.
"Ms. Flenwick, I'm afraid we've made our decision."
"How the Shadow got loose we will never know-"
No!!!
They can't really be thinking about-
"Ms. Flenwick," Our case Judge said again. "Henry is being watched, we've put him on a parent alert list, and his probationary period has been extended to eight months with a case worker coming in once a week, starting as soon as Sabrina is well enough to be out of the hospital. Everyone and anyone who can get out of Ferryport will be allowed to visit Ms. Grimm. We only want what is best for Sabrina, Veronica. You are the better parent, but Ferryport Landing is not a safe environment. I'm sorry, but I have ruled that custody belong to Henry. If Sabrina is to show any severe problems such as mental health issues, more lock spells and such I assure you she will go into your custody, regardless if anything should happen at the hearing."
"I can't bewieve what I'm hearing!" I cried, throwing my chubby hands up to my cheeks. I began to feel tears not only burning my eyes, but falling into my hair from Daphne. I turned my head very, very fast and saw a look of meanness on Charlie's face. The tears slid down my cheeks and I pointed at the case judge. "You are In-in-inswane!!!"
After Charlie, Daphne, And Hunter left...

Raw energy burned through every fibre of my being. I felt it course through my veins the moment I woke up, and knew it would be my downfall in the months to come. I couldn't control it, but I needed to learn how. I stopped looking at my legs and stared up at Puck. I grabbed him by his neck so I could lean up and kiss him, my hand moving over his shoulders.
"Ow." He grunted. I let go.
"S-sorry..." I muttered. "I didn't mean to-"
"Oh, it's not you!" Puck said quickly, then seemed to rethink it. "Well, actually it was you, after you passed out, you dealt me third degree burns, but I'm recovering just fine." He assured me. He grabbed my hand in his and squeezed it lightly.
"How long have I been out?" I asked, shuffling myself so I could lean into his side.
"Much too all our surprise, three days." He said. "Sabrina, we really don't have time to chit-chat. I have something I've wanted to ask you for a really long time and-"
"Yes." I told him. He looked startled.
"You don't even know-"
"You're going to ask me to marry you." I told him. His face looked a little angry, but I saved myself from a Reader speech quickly. "I could hear you, while I was asleep. I wanted to tell you then, but I couldn't. I love you." I looked up at him. "And after this all blows over, I never want to have to spend more than a week without you."
"Done." He said, relieved. "As insane as that deal is, it's done." He reached into his coat pocket and took out a velvet box. Inside was a clear cut diamond-shaped Sapphire, with a small Emerald in the middle. He put it on my left index finger, and I suddenly realized I was crying. Then he leaned down and kissed me softly. He was getting a little more passionate when Henry came in with a look of triumph on his face.
"Get away from my daughter Puke."
"Puck." Puck corrected, shuffling himself away from me quickly.
"Don't give a damn." Henry retorted. "How are you sweetheart?"
"Fine," I responded automatically. "Just a little... Uncomfortable. I don't like hospitals."
"We'll get you out of here as soon as Alex double checks you." My dad told me, a small smile playing on his lips. "Back to the condo in New York, no more of this nonsense."
"What!" I screamed along with Puck. He was the first to respond. "Henry, you're crazy. She's coming home with us. The court would never allow Sabrina to go with a maniac like you!"
"That's where you're wrong, Fairy." Henry waved the papers at him. "I do have custody of Sabrina. Granted, our probationary period is now eight months, with social workers checking up on us, and everyone who can get out of Ferryport's allowed to visit her, but that's about it." He gave a sadistic laugh. "Now, sorry sweetie, but I haven't really eaten. I'll be back. And you," He pointed at Puck. "Keep your disgusting Everafter hands off of her, or there will be hell to pay." He slammed the door as he left the room.
I started to cry.
"Shhh. 'Brina, everything's going to be okay." Puck was back on the bed, arms over me, rocking me back and forth slowly. I knew my hair was blue, I knew it had started to rain incredibly hard in the middle of June. I didn't know the hallway sprinklers had turned on, or that people around the hospital were suffering power outages due to my emotions.
My day went from great, to amazing, and then plummeted to the hell of the Insane.
