HEY!!!!!!! OMG! THANKS FOR ALL THE MESSAGES!!!!!!
A few points before I begin.
1) The golden light was supposed to be them being bound together. In the first story, I said that when they got married, they would be bound together: the kiss was their wedding kiss. Just to clear that up…
2) I am soooooo sorry if I don't update a lot! I'm so busy this year, plus, I'm sick. But fear not, noble readers, I shall continue!
3) Finally, please check me out on YouTube (cocacola2254) because I updated my playlist…again…
Enjoy!
Chapter Two
Sabrina and Puck pulled apart, blushing. They looked at each other for a moment before remembering that scream. Sabrina went into Grimm mode, quickly assessing the situation.
"Puck? Do you remember training formation B?" Sabrina asked. She was referring to the surprise attack that Sabrina and Daphne had once used on Puck during training—with very good results.
He grinned a bit. "Yeah. Why?" Sabrina gave him the look. "OH! Right." He blushed and moved to go around her and hide in the rocks near the front of the cave.
As he passed her, Sabrina grabbed his arm. "Puck…are you ok? Your rib…I mean, I can do this alone." Puck looked indignant. "Or…you could be bait! That way—"
Puck interrupted. "Grimm, I'm fine. Jeez, one kiss and you turn all soft on me."
Sabrina blushed in anger, angry tears filling her eyes, and she opened her mouth to yell at him, but Puck covered her mouth and motioned to outside the cave. Sabrina became very still and listened. Very faintly, she heard the sound of branches snapping.
She cursed silently and slid behind some rocks on one side of the cave entrance and Puck went to the other side. Sabrina was mad at herself, more than anything. Not only had she thought that maybe, just maybe, Puck would be a least a bit nice to her, but she'd let herself get distracted on a mission.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, she thought.
Sabrina barely dared to breath as a dark figure made it's way into the cave, and stopped in front of the rocks. Sabrina counted to three, and then she and Puck jumped out from behind the rocks and onto the dark figure. It let out a very familiar,
"Oof!"
"Uncle Jake?" Sabrina said in shock.
**********
Jake sat down in front of the fire with a weary groan. After he had arrived, he'd ordered Puck and Sabrina to start a fire and make him something to drink—he'd brought some tea.
"So…" Sabrina started. "What are you doing here?"
Jake grinned a bit. "What? Aren't you happy to see me?"
"Yes!" Sabrina said, as Puck said, "NO!" They glared at each other.
Jake chuckled. "Henry sent me. You're lucky he didn't come himself—but I convinced him to let me come instead. I told him you'd be more likely to come back if you weren't dead."
"Um…Uncle Jake," Sabrina said hesitantly, biting her bottom lip. "Why…why are you so happy?" Ever since the love of his life, Briar Rose, had died, Jake had been a complete mess. Barely eating, not sleeping peacefully. He never showed any emotion except sorrow…and now…now, he was like his old self, the joking, charming, devilish Jake.
He started laughing hysterically, and Puck and Sabrina shared a look.
"Are you high or something?" Puck asked.
Jake sighed and shook his head. "I guess I should probably tell you what's been going on for the past month...
"After Henry found your note, 'Brina, he went after you. Obviously, you guys went into this…place? Universe? Whatever. Anyway, Henry came back from the camp, and let's just say he was not happy."
"What about…" Sabrina didn't want to say it. But she had to. "Daphne?"
Jake rubbed his neck. "I won't lie to you, 'Brina, she was pretty mad. But after you didn't come back, and we went into a bunch of the mirrors and couldn't find you…she's more worried than mad. She isn't sure if you're coming back.
"It's been a hard month, 'Brina. Veronica and Henry try not to let anyone see how much they worry, but everyone can see it. Mom and Canis are…well, they try to help, and Mom's Grimm-skills are still amazing, but they're both too old to be much of a help. Daphne is being…Daphne. She keeps letting herself get hopeful, keeps letting herself think you're going to come home."
Jake sighed. "During this time, I wasn't exactly…helpful. I was still so sad about Briar…and then I reread her story. Again, and again, and again. I was looking for something, anything, that would bring her back. And I found it."
Jake's smile widened. "It was right in front of my eyes the entire time. The kiss—the kiss that brought Briar back in the story. The kiss of true love. So…we dug her up." He blushed a bit at the morbid-ness of that. "She was exactly the same as she was in life. Perfect. Beautiful. And…well, I…you know."
Sabrina laughed and hugged her uncle. "You and Briar?" Jake nodded and hugged her back.
"We're engaged!" he said happily.
After they'd calmed down, Jake continued, "Anyway, after she was awake, we dove headfirst into the search. And came up with this world. I volunteered to come. Alone. I didn't want anything to happen to Briar." He grinned. "When I got here, I passed out for a while...and then I went to this village. God, they were unhelpful. But, then, I left and started wandering around. And I thought I saw a light coming from here, so I came to investigate. Your turn now."
Sabrina sighed dramatically, and with Puck's help, told everything that had happened—right up to when they'd jumped on Jake.
When they were done, he blinked. "Wow. So you two are…?"
Sabrina blushed. "Don't tell Dad, ok? He'll kill me!"
Jake laughed. "More like he'll kill Puck…" Then he paused. "So this Darren guy. He stalked you, hit you, and then captured you?" Sabrina nodded. Jake opened his mouth, probably to start yelling, but then he paused, looking confused. "What was that noise?" And Darren wandered into the cave.

A/N Hoped you liked it! Gah, I'm so sorry, but I won't be able to update much—once a week if I'm lucky. I have loads of school, plus this history class where my teacher is SO demanding, an acting class that I have to speak in Old English for (so hard), and a family crisis. Not to mention a best friend who just started highschool and is kinda freaking out 'cause the fucking jack ass who made her life a living hell for YEARS!!! Keeps smiling at her. So…sorry if I don't write much :( I'm doing as much as I can and still having the content up to snuff.
