Life Threatning Morning
I woke up to kisses. Puppy kisses. I cracked open one of my eyes to be greeted with a happy puppy. He was still on the blankets to my side, I must have moved in my sleep, my face was inches from his. He licked my nose and let his head drop back onto the pillows. I sat up and looked at the couch; Elvis was still sleeping. I stood up to stretch and I yawned; everything felt sore like I was sleeping on the floor. Even if there were a lot of blankets and pillows it wasn't as comfortable as a bed. I felt tiny sharp teeth grab at my ankle.
"Ow. That actually hurt." I said looking down. He wiggled out from under the blankets and seemed to want me to pick him up. I softly picked him up, careful to try and not hurt him. I held him up to my face and he licked my nose again, I laughed a bit. I've haven't been this happy since before my parents were kidnapped. I walked out of the living room still holding him, I could hear Granny fumbling with the pots and pans in the kitchen. I went in to see that she was stirring something in the pot, it smelled funky as usual.
"Morning, Granny." I said. She turned around a little surprised and then a warm smile spread across her face.
"Good morning, liebling. You're up pretty early." She said as she came towards me. She held my chin in her hand and examined my face. "Good it looks like you got some sleep. Today will be a big day." I looked down at Trooper. He was sniffing the air and wagging his tail.
"Are we gonna feed him now?" I asked her as I sat down infront of an empty plate and cup. She went back to the stove and lowered the flame.
"I'm making him something right now, it's something special your Uncle found in Mirror." She stirred whatever was in the pot some more. "It will give him his strength back steadily." I watched as Granny poured some of the stuff into the bottle we used the other night. It was a kind of yellowish color, I hoped it tasted better than it looked. She placed it on the counter to let it cool down and sat down infront of us. The puppy scampered across the table and sniffed the air around Granny and then her outstretched hands. After a few seconds he wagged his tail, licked her hand, and came back to me. Daphne came in groggily rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"What's for breakfast, Granny?" She barely mumbled. It was weird that she was already up; it usually took her a couple of pots and pans to do that. She looked at me and then at the puppy. Her face lit up with a wide grin. She skipped towards us and sat down.
"It's sooooo cute!" Her voice rose an octave at the word 'cute', startling Trooper. His ears perked up and he pushed himself against me. I laughed. "It's ok, Daphne's one of those people you can trust." I said, he looked at me and then slowly walked towards Daphne. Her hand was slowly inching towards her mouth. Trooper stopped and looked at her curiously, tilting his head to the side a bit; causing Daphne to squeal with delight and inserting her palm into her mouth. He sniffed the air around her and then sniffed her other hand just like he did with Granny. After he wagged his tail, Daphne grabbed him and squeezed him into a hug. I jumped out of my chair almost making it fall.
"Not so hard Daph! He's still really weak, you could break him. He's not like Elvis." I said grabbing him out of her arms, Granny stepped back seeing that I got him out of her hands. She looked at me and pretended to wipe a sweat off her forehead. Daphne pouted.
"I'm sorry! Can I hug him again? I'll be carefull, I'm a big girl." She said; I tried not to laugh. She had just forgiven me for all the bad things I've done. I sat back down and let Trooper walk on his own towards her. She hugged him gently while I looked at Granny come back with the bottle. It turned from a yellow tint to white.
"Here you go, liebling. Make sure he's on his stomach when you feed him, I'm going to fix up something for breakfast." Daphne whined learning that breakfast wasn't already done and she had to wait. Trooper came towards me mesmerized with the bottle. He layed down on his stomach as I fed him his bottle; he sucked the liquid greedily.
"Granny I think he's a German Shepherd. His black and tan fur is what they usually have. Right?" I asked as Trooper sucked the last drops from the bottle. I gently took it away. He rolled onto his back and wiggled around as if he were scratching his back on the table. All three of us laughed at how cute he looked. Granny finished off whatever she was cooking and called for everyone to come down. Puck was the first one, followed by Elvis, and then Uncle Jake. I put Trooper on my lap when Granny came with the food. She placed green eggs and ham on everyone's plates. I tried not to laugh. Usually her food made me gag, but her Dr. Seuss food was pretty funny.
"I guess you like Dr. Seuss?" I asked as I poked my green eggs. Granny looked at me confused.
"Why who's Dr. Seuss?" She asked.
"What you've never heard of Dr. Seuss? You know, famous childrens book author?" I asked everyone looked at me confused except for Daphne. She was too busy stuffing herself with the meal to pay attention. I sighed. "Forget it." I said. Everyone begun to dig in as I sniffed it carefully. It smelled normal. I took a tentative bite out of the eggs, to find they tasted like Jell-O. I forced myself to chew it and swallow it. Trooper jumped a bit when the phone rang. Granny got up and rushed to go and pick it up. I heard hurried mumbling from the other room; something was wrong. Granny rushed in holding all our coats.
"Let's go, we have a mystery afoot!" she said as she put on her own coat. Daphne whined again she was only on her third plate, Puck was scarfing down his fifth, while Uncle Jake was just finishing his first.
"Can't we wait till I'm done?" Puck said slapping more food onto his plate just like Daphne. Granny frowned and pulled them both out of their chairs and forcing them into their coats. They both grumbled unhappily. Granny looked at me.
"Come on Sabrina! Put on your coat, we have to hurry." she said handing me my coat. I frowned.
"I can't just leave him here." I said. Uncle Jake started going through his millions of pockets. Granny seemed to think for a minute.
"Well, it may be too cold for him to come. But we need your detective mind. Oh what to do." Granny started tapping her foot thinking.
"Here it is!" Uncle Jake said as he pulled out a red warm looking orb. I looked at it weirdly.
"What is that?" I asked, I could already feel the magic radiating out of it. Granny seemed to not know what it was either, she shrugged when I looked at her for an explanation.
"This 'Brina is an orb." I rolled my eyes, thanks for pointing out the obvious. "I used this when I went climbing Mount Everest trying to find one of those flutes Puck has. It protects you from the cold. You could walk outside stark naked, and feel completly fine." He said. He hesitated when he handed me the orb, knowing my addiction for magic. I put on my coat and he slipped it into my coat's pocket. I picked up Trooper and hugged him close to me.
"It will keep you and him warm. If he has any physical contact with you he'll be protected with the orb." I smiled. We all headed out; I noticed Daphne stuff green eggs into her coats pocket. I had to ask her why she did that; couldn't she just wait? Granny ushered us all out and started working on all the locks. She knocked on the door three times.
"We'll be back!" She said as we all scooted into the family car. Or the death trap as I called it. Daphne was to my left, while Puck at my right. Me and trooper stuck in the middle uncomfortably. Elvis lay ontop of all of us; stretched out. I kept Trooper close to me, but finally decided on just letting him lay ontop of Elvis. Elvis didn't seem to mind. Granny sat infront with Uncle Jake as he started the car.
"So who are we wasting our time for now?" Puck asked rudely, I turned to him and frowned. He mischievously smiled when he noticed.
"Briar. Someone has broken into her shop and stolen something. She hasn't told me what yet." Granny said. I could see the blood drain from Uncle Jake's face. Him and Briar were going steady for some time now. Granny Relda patted his free hand.
"Don't worry she wasn't hurt. I'm sure her fairy godmothers wouldn't let that happen." She said, Uncle Jake seemed to relax a bit. Daphne slipped her hand into her pocket taking out bits of egg and secretly putting them into her mouth. Sadly, Puck noticed.
"Hey! Gimme some!" He said. He leaned over me trying to get at Daphne. She screamed and backed into the door. He was practically ontop of Trooper. Elvis was ignoring all of this. I shoved him as hard as I could; slamming him back into his seat.
"Whoa Grimm. You're like a dude." I stuck out my tongue at him. I checked on Trooper and everything seemed ok, he was wagging his tail, probably enjoying what was happening. Puck lunged again at Daphne; she screamed once more. The door she was backing into opened. She shrieked quickly holding onto the edge of the door's frame. I heard myself screaming too; grabbing at her hands to try and pull her in. Everything seemed blurry to me. Uncle Jake slammed onto the brakes. Daphne fell onto the ground with a dull thud. She groaned. I shoved Elvis out of the car and ran out with Trooper in my arms.
"Daphne! Daphne! Are you ok?" I frantically shook her. She slowly opened her eyes.
"Am I dead?" She asked. I let out a sigh of relief. I felt Trooper relax in my arms as well. Granny and Uncle Jake swarmed around her blocking me and Puck. I turned to him, knowing my face told him he better run.
"Look what you did! You could have killed her you, you, you... idiot!" I lashed out at him. I would have attacked him if Trooper weren't in my arms. Puck's eyes widened. He stuttered trying to say something.
"Why do you always have to ruin everything? You're such a child! Fighting over green eggs! Really?!" I was fuming. Puck didn't know what to say. His face said complete shock and hurt. Granny put her hand on my shoulder.
"Liebling, I'm sure Puck didn't mean to." She tried to calm me down.
"Well duh. He never knows what he's doing. He has a peanut sized brain!" I scoffed. Puck was angry now; but he didn't say anything. He kept on glaring at me.
"I didn't mean to." He said. His voice scared me a bit. I've never heard him when he was this kind of angry. Granny pushed each of us away from each other. I hadn't noticed we were inches apart. I looked back to see Daphne dusting herself off. I rushed to her.
"Are you ok?" I asked. She didn't get annoyed when I checked her for cuts or bruises. Her hand was already bandaged up.
"Just a small cut." Daphne said putting her hand away.
"Come on everyone. Back into the car. And Sabrina, would you mind switching spots with Daphne? We don't want another accident." Granny said.
"Gladly." I said as I scowled at Puck. Everyone got in, Daphne in the middle now. I held Trooper close to me. He probably thought we were a bunch of crazies. Which we were...
"We're here!" Granny sung. We all piled out of the car.
"Whoa." Was all that Daphne said. Briar's Coffee Shop, Sacred Grounds, was a mess. The glass was shattered, from outside you could see the chairs and tables over turned and tossed aside.
"Oh, I'm so glad you guys came! I really need your help." Briar said as she walked out of the abused shop. She walked out from the shop stopping right under the wobbly sign. I had a bad feeling about what was gonna happen next. The wind blew, making the sign swing back and forth. I could see from far away, that the last nail holding the sign was about to give out. It started to creak slowly downward.
"NO!" Uncle Jake yelled as the nail finally gave out.
Nice cliffy, 'eh?
Didn't really have time to check for grammar mistakes. Mom yelling at me to go to bed! If there are any, forgive me and point them out! :D
I hope this was a good chapter. :O
