Hello! Thanks to all my wonderful, amazing, beautiful reviewers! gives cookies thus is your reward!

NOTE: Starting the week of Thanksgiving, I probably won't be updating much (even less than I do now) due to holiday stuff, the fact that I'm dying of exhaustion (I'm not even joking), and I need to work on my series, the one I want published. Sorry :(

Oh, and Kerdy belongs to the amazingling talented Ayns and Sky, from their No Matter What story. Although, in that, he's an Everafter. In this, he's just…Kerdy.

Chapter Eight

Sabrina walked downstairs the next morning, her mood dark. It lifted, however, at the sight of an unfamiliar blonde boy looking lovingly at Daphne.

Sabrina grinned slyly and teasingly said, "So, you're Kerdy, are you? I have to say, Daph, you sure know how to pick 'em."

And it was true. Kerdy was tall, with high cheekbones and blue eyes. He wasn't buff, but he was most definitely defined, and the way he was looking at Daphne Grimm left no doubt about how he felt.

Daphne blushed. "Kerdy, this is my sister, Sabrina. Sabrina, this is my b—um, I mean, Kerdy."

Sabrina grinned. "Nice to meet you, my sisters Kerdy." She held out a hand to Kerdy, and he took it, looking a bit intimidated. Sabrina Grimm was a beautiful, headstrong girl who would stop at nothing to destroy anyone who threatened her family—who wouldn't be afraid?

Sabrina smiled brightly and then turned and left the room—Daphne probably wanted some alone time with her boyfriend. And Sabrina had someone she wanted to see.

Sabrina knocked softly on Puck's door before entering his room. She looked carefully at the ground as she started walking towards the center of the room, to the trampalene. She didn't want to accidently step on something that would most likely result in her having to take a million showers.

Puck was lying on his back with his arms behind his head, his eyes closed. Still, he could feel Sabrina's presence the second she entered his room. It made him feel excited, happy.

Sabrina crawled onto the trampelene and lay down next to Puck.

"Puck?" Sabrina whispered. "What do you think is going to happen? With us, with all of this, I mean?"

Puck opened his eyes and turned his head towards her. "I don't know," he said softly. "But I do know that somehow, some way, we'll make it through." Puck reached over and grabbed Sabrina's hand. "Together," he added.

Sabrina smiled and rolled over so she was leaning slightly over Puck. This was one of the few moments when he was actually being sweet, and Sabrina was going to take advantage of it. So she leaned down and pressed her lips to his, savoring the way they felt—soft, sweet—and tasted—salty, and a bit like chocolate.

Darren walked down the stairs in the Grimm house, and smiled when he saw Daphne. He didn't see anyone else, so he snuck up behind the little girl and hit her head with the pan he picked up.

He then picked her up and walked back upstairs, hiding her in the room he'd been in, inside the closet. Now, he had leverage. All he needed was to let Sabrina know it.

********

A little while later, Sabrina exited Puck's room, smiling. She and Puck had kissed for a while, and then just sat there together, not thinking about anything else. And then she saw the note, written on the wall in what looked like…blood?

Sabrina's cry of disdain brought her entire family, and Puck, to the hallway outside of Sabrina's room. As tears filled Sabrina's eyes, she made a decision she would probably regret: she would comply to save her sister.

Send Sabrina to me or the little one dies.

And attached to the wall by the note was a lock of Daphne's brown hair.
