Hey guys! So, from the last few reviews, I'd like to answer/confirm some questions and statements that you mentioned:
Some of you said there is no plot in this story. I assure you, there is, it just may not seem like it.
a) Some of you also said you don't know how the puppies can 'change' the Grimms. Well, it's not meant to 'change' them as such, the puppies are leading up to something big that will happen later in the story.
b) I am aware of some spelling in the previous chapters. They were just typos.
c) I know the last chapter was a bit boring, but it is necessary in the story.
I hope that answers some of your questions/worries.
I'd also like to remind everyone that this story takes place after the Scarlet Hand have been defeated and Granny has her body back. Also, Briar isn't dead, Sabrina and Puck are fourteen years old and Daphne and Red are ten years old.
Now, this chapter is again dedicated to Mrs. Puck, as she (I assume you are a SHE) reviewed first. Also because she came up with a chapter title. I STILL NEED CHAPTER NAMES! If you come up with a good chapter name, do tell me, and you will get a dedication!
Thanks to everybody else for your awesome and helpful reviews!
Here we go(oh and by the way, Sabrina and Puck may seem a bit OOC for this chapter)!
It was a week after the trip to the vet that things started to get weird.
"What the freaking hell?"
Down in the living room, everyone had been watching the TV programme Life on ABC. Except for Mr Canis (who tended to stay in his room more often these days), Uncle Jake( who was still asleep) and Puck. Which is why all heads turned in the direction of said fairy boy's room when they heard the somewhat desperate shout.
But instead of going to investigate what cause Puck to shout, everyone looked at Sabrina. There had been one to many 'false alarms' involving the fourteen year-old boy shouting his head off for the family to think something serious had actually happened.
Sabrina returned everybody's looks with an angry glare. "Why me?" she grumbled.
"Because you're the best at dealing with Puck's stupidity," Daphne said smartly.
"Well, I wouldn't exactly say the best, but…." Henry trailed off, and quickly hid behind a pillow in case Sabrina did the unthinkable and tried to hit him.
But Sabrina wisely ignored their comments, and simply stomped up the stairs to Puck's room. The door was opened, so she didn't bother to knock and simply walked on in, but being careful not to step on the silver plate at the door.
What she saw dumbfounded her.
There was Puck, sitting on his trampoline, patting…a Labrador!
"Whoa," Sabrina quietly gasped, just as the door slammed shut behind her.
Both Puck and the Labrador looked up, only just noticing her presence.
Puck immediately stopped patting the dog as Sabrina walked over and sat next to him on the trampoline. "Care to explain, Puck? Or are you just as confused as me as to why there is a Labrador in your room?"
"I know as much as you do. I went to get myself a sandwich from the kitchen, and when I came back, the door was open and this dog was just lying here," Puck explained. "In my opinion, though, it's a bit of a coincidence. I mean, Ali tells us last week that the mother of those puppies is a Labrador, then I find said Labrador lying on my trampoline. I put two and two together and figured that this is all a trick."
Sabrina thought for a moment before speaking. "Firstly, Puck, we don't know that this is the mother of the puppies, though it does seem to look that way. Secondly, what is this, and how is it a trick? And thirdly, that was one of the most sensible things I've ever heard you say."
Puck smirked. "Well, I'll discuss the third point later. For the first point, I know we can't be sure that this is the mother of the puppies. But use logic, Sabrina. As I said earlier, it IS a bit of a coincidence. Don't you think so?"
Sabrina nodded. She wasn't used to Puck telling her to use logic.
"And for the third point – well, by this I mean the whole situation with the puppies – How they turned up on our doorstep, and now how this Labrador turned up in my room, without even coming through the house – as if by magic. In my opinion, I don't even think that Elvis is actually the father of the puppies," Puck shrugged.
"But Ali did a DNA test!" I cried.
Puck leaned in a lowered his voice to a whisper. "Sabrina, I was friends with Ali for years. Let me tell you – he may seem like he's a nice guy who tells the truth, but don't be fooled. His mind is twisted, which is part of the reason I left New York. He's evil."
"And you didn't think to bring this up after we left the vet," Sabrina said lamely, crossing her arms.
"Because no one ever believes me about that sort of stuff!" Puck held up his hands in the age-old sign of innocence.
Sabrina shook her head. "Anyway. So you think Ali is lying to us, that Elvis isn't really the father, that the puppies and Labrador are magical, and that they're only at our house because someone is trying to trick us?"
Puck shook his head. "Okay, so yeah, basically. But see….I full on think the puppies and the Labrador aren't even real."
Sabrina gaped at him. "And what makes you say that? Because right now, Puck, I'm not entirely convinced you're right."
"You're the detective, Sabrina. I can't honestly believe you didn't notice it," Puck murmured, looking at her in bewilderment.
"Notice what, Puck?" Sabrina asked confusedly, still slightly shocked by the fact that Puck was being so sensible, as so…..un-Pucklike, and the fact that she hadn't hit him upside the head yet, for whatever reason. She was slightly scared, actually – If what Puck was saying about Ali was true, then this could be a trick, a trap that somebody wanted the Grimm family to fall into.
"Well…." Puck began.
URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!
Now, I know I told you all that there IS a plot. And there is, I swear! But originally, this chapter was going to be completely different to how it is now. I kind of changed this chapter as I was typing it. And now…..I don't know what Puck is going to tell Sabrina that he discovered! Because, as I said, I completely changed this chapter from what it originally was. So…I really wanted Puck to discover something weird about the puppies that COULD possibly result chaos for the Grimms(which you will have to wait a few chapters for). But that's not important. If you have ANY idea for the next chapter tell me! I know an author should be able to figure out their own twist in their stories, but I have a bit of writer's block right now(perfect timing, huh?). So put aside your criticising's of this story for now, and help me out!
Pppllleeeaaassseee?
Oh, and I'm sorry for the lack of Puckabrina in this chappie, I have a great idea of something that is going to happen to Puck and 'Brina, so just be patient. And I'm sorry this was such a short chapter, the next one will be longer.
NO NASTY REVIEWS! ALL FLAMES USED WILL BE USED TO COOK A BBQ!
Love it, like it, rate it, hate it(please don't), or pull apart a clock and make a bomb out of its insides.
