~Chapter Three~

'I Cannot Believe He Did That…'

Sabrina walked outside cautiously, barely making a sound as she crept around the side of the house, towards the woods, looking for Puck. He couldn't just be gone, right? Something inside her didn't want to believe he just disappeared, or worse, died. Who would want to kill him? The Scarlet Hand was gone; there was no one that came to mind who would want to kill him. She shoved the thought out of her mind and continued to walk deeper into the woods.

She walked another thirty paces or so before calling his name. "Puck, are you here?" There was no reply. Panic rose in her throat. What if he really was gone? What if-

"Boo!" Sabrina spun around and screamed.

Standing beside her was the most menacing thing she'd ever seen. It was a white face with deep, black holes for eyes, and small gold pupils that seemed to stare through your soul. There was blood and dirt splattered all over its face and there were tiny patches of wild, tangled hair on his head. It was a tall figure covered in a black cloak and he held a knife in his right hand.

Sabrina backed up, terrified and not knowing what to do. That is, until he removed the mask. Under said mask was Puck; laughing so hard his lungs were probably about to collapse. Puck's friend, Justin, came out from the bushes in which he was hiding and laughed just as hard.

Sabrina, on the other hand, was fuming. How could he scare her like that? She thought even he was better than that.

"Why would you do that? I thought you were gone! Puck, grow up! You're immature, smelly, rude and obnoxious! Just stop already! It's so annoying to wake up to your stupid pranks everyday!" Sabrina screamed at him. Puck's smile vanished and was replaced by a look of pure rage.

"Grow up? Haven't you noticed I already am growing up? Why? I have no clue. And you know what, you can call me all of those things, but I am the Trickster King, I represent those things, so you just gave me a compliment. You on the other hand, must represent ugly, stupid, know-it-alls because that's exactly what you are! You always think you know better than everyone else, when you know nothing! It was just a joke, how 'bout you grow up and take it like a 'mature adult'?" he retorted.

Sabrina stood there dumbfounded.

"Whatever, Puck," her voiced wavered. "I have to go home before Daphne and Red get worried." She added quietly. Puck just stood there with a triumphant look on his face, which just made it worse.

Sabrina turned around and ran home before Puck and his idiot friend Justin could see her cry.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Puck watched as Sabrina ran off, unsure of what to do now. It seemed like he actually hurt her. But why should he care about her? It was bad enough he had to comfort her when she had a nightmare, but pranking her was his way of convincing himself no matter what, he couldn't like Sabrina Grimm. It didn't matter what the future showed, it could always be changed, and that was what he was determined to do.

"Dude," Justin said. "That was kind of harsh, even for you."

"What? No it wasn't! Grimm shouldn't dish out what she can't eat!"

Justin had a puzzled look on his face. "I don't think-"

"Yeah, I know that's not the saying, but that's not the point. The point is, she can't take a joke and she brings all of this crap on me. I always protected her from the- uh, never mind…"

"Okay, but still, she's a girl, they take those things a lot harder than you do."

"No, Grimm's strong and doesn't care about my opinion. In fact, she would take my opinion and throw it in the trash if she could!"

"I don't know man, she looked upset," Justin said unconvinced by Puck's attempts to convince him. "And how would you know?"

"I just know her! She's tough, stubborn, annoying and pig-headed and can break your arm if she needed to. She really wouldn't care if someone called her ugly. She doesn't care about what she wears or anything like that."

Justin raised an eyebrow, Puck now looked uncomfortable.

"Do you like her?"

"WHAT? No, I do not like Sabri- Grimm."

"Uh huh, sure," Justin said mockingly. "What did you mean when you said you were growing up?"

"Nothing dude, just puberty."

Justin blushed and looked down, not wanting to continue with an awkward conversation like that.

"By the way, great job at pretending to stalk us." Puck said grinning. "Come on, let's go to your place." Justin nodded and they set off the opposite direction.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

"He's fine," Sabrina said darkly as she walked inside the house, dashed up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door as loud as she could, causing the Grimm members to turn to Daphne and Red, who had returned home twenty minutes before them.

"What's wrong with Sabrina, libeling?" Granny asked in her old, delicate voice.

"I don't know, but it probably has something to do with Puck." Daphne replied. She was glad Puck was okay, but she was worried about her sister. She never got that upset if he did tricked her, which she was almost positive he had.

"What did the fairy-boy do now?" Henry growled, putting their shopping bags on the kitchen table.

"I'm not sure, Henry. Do you know Daphne?"

"Well, on our way home from school, Puck stayed back while Sabrina made us run the rest of the way home. I'm not sure why, but Sabrina looked worried. And after a little while, Puck didn't show up so she went looking for him and then you guys just came home and so did she."

Granny Relda nodded.

Mr. Canis came into the kitchen holding a cardboard box for a Halloween mask. "I think I might have an idea on what the boy did."

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Sabrina sat on her bed, replaying Puck's words in her head.

"You on the other hand, must represent ugly, stupid, know-it-alls because that's exactly what you are!"

She rubbed her eyes furiously, preventing any tears from escaping them. She could not sit there and cry over what Puck had said. Since when has she cared about what he said anyway? He didn't know anything! He was just a jerk, there was no way she could like him. Not even a little, miniscule bit. She sighed and lay down on her bed. She closed her eyes, blocking out the sounds of her worried sisters voice on the other side of the door and drifted off to sleep; unaware of the terrible things that lay ahead.

~Chapter Four~

'Silent Treatments and Disasters'

The next morning was bitter. At breakfast, no one said a word. All you could hear were the scratching of the forks and knives across the porcelain plates and the occasional slurp of orange juice. You could hear the drips of the leaky faucet in the kitchen and the occasional wind upon the glass.

When Canis found the mask the previous day, Veronica immediately knew why Sabrina was upset. Puck must've dressed up like a serial killer and scared her. That was the only real thing Sabrina was afraid of, not dragons, creatures or fatal diseases. Just horror movies, which was quite ironic considering their life practically was one.

Sabrina just stared at her plate, almost as if she was trying to burn it with x-ray vision she didn't have. Puck kept shifting uncomfortably as he tried to avoid the glares Henry sent his way.

It was Daphne who broke the uncomfortable silence. "I think we should get to school."

"Yes, we don't want to be late." Red's voice sounded so loud in the quiet atmosphere, it made Sabrina flinch. She had never really heard the little girl talk before.

"I'll drive you," Veronica said, standing up. Sabrina and Puck followed the action and she finally had a chance to look at him.

He looked…"guilty" almost. She couldn't think of a word to describe it. She looked away, not wanting to cause another argument about how "she was staring at his gorgeous face", as Puck would put it. Although, she probably couldn't agree more.

She grabbed her coat out of the closet in the hallway and her backpack off the hook by the front door and walked out to her mother's car. Daphne came up to her before she could go inside.

"Did Puck really scare you? But you're not scared of anything!" she said incredulously.

She cracked a little smile. "Everyone's afraid of something." She said nonchalantly.

Daphne laughed. "Yeah," she said. "Like Puck's afraid of your right hook."

Sabrina laughed along with her. It was nice to have a sister who could cheer her up.

"Come on guys, I abandon my breakfast so you wouldn't be late, now you two are just standing there!" Veronica exclaimed in a mocking manner, putting her hands on her hips. She really was just pleased Sabrina was still able to smile.

Sabrina and Daphne squished into the backseat, tightened the ropes and plugged their ears. Daphne flashed a smile to her older sister. They used to use this procedure two years ago, after the war and when there were places to drive to.

The whole ride to school, Puck kept mumbling to himself. Sabrina tried to decipher what he was saying, but it was useless. The car was too loud. She was surprised she heard anything. While debating on what she said, she hadn't realized her mother was speeding up and they passed the school ten minutes ago. They were now on a long dirt road in the idle of the open woods.

Puck, along with the rest of the kids, had a confused look etched on their face.

Sabrina had no idea what was wrong. "Mom, where are we? What's wrong?" She yelled over the roaring engine.

"It's following us!" Was the strained reply.

All of a sudden, Veronica slammed on the brakes. All of the speed and momentum was centered on one thing: Daphne, whose rope hadn't been tight enough, was sent through the windshield.

"Daphne!" Veronica screamed in terror.

She flung the car door open and ran to her youngest daughter, who was sprawled on the dirt road, her leg bent in an odd way, and blood streaming from a huge gash on her forehead.

It took a second for Sabrina to register what just happened. She immediately felt nauseas and the world was spinning way too fast. She fumbled with the ropes, her fingers shaking. She tried to untie the knot, but it was no use. It was stuck.

She kept tugging at it frantically, trying to loosen it, but it was useless. Puck, who was just as shocked, noticed this and took the rope from her. He turned into a rat and bit through it, letting Sabrina free. He jumped out of the car and transformed into a boy again, his face pale and shaken.

Sabrina nodded, unable to say thanks, and ran to the front of the car where Veronica was shielding Daphne and crying, screaming loudly at her to stay with her.

Sabrina walked over the shattered glass and knelt down beside her sister. How could this have happened? Daphne was too good a person for this to happen. Tears started flowing from her eyes, and her breathe came out in choked sobs.

She brushed the little girl's brown hair from her face, getting blood on her hands. But she didn't care, it was her sister.

"Mom," she said between sobs. "Y-you have to call an ambulance!"

Veronica frantically ran to the car and dug through her purse to find her phone.

Sabrina broke down. She sobbed into her hands, feeing so alone and not sure what to do. 'Why Daphne' was all she could think of. Why did it have to be her? Her life was just beginning and it could be over!

Puck watched as Sabrina cried, unsure, yet again, of what to do. He knew they were in a fight, but he knew she cared about the Marshmallow, so did he. This was hard on him; he could only imagine what she felt. He walked over the glass, knelt next to her, and hugged her tightly to his chest, brushing her hair out of her face and rocking her back and forth.

"She'll be okay," he said into her ear. It seemed to only make it worse. He wasn't even sure if he could believe it himself.

They could hear Veronica's frantic screams, and Red hugging her. Red had escaped the car when they all jumped out. She and Veronica shared a special friendship, as she did with Daphne, and she knew Veronica needed all the comfort she could get.

The ambulance arrived in a matter of minutes, the sirens blaring and the lights shining. They loaded Daphne onto a stretcher, while Veronica sobbed openly.

Sabrina was in a state of shock. With Puck's arms still around her, she stood up and watched.

Veronica jumped in the ambulance, trying to regain her composure now that Daphne had medical help.

"Sabrina, Puck," she said. "Take Red home. Get the adults and send them to the hospital, my phone died. You two need to stay home with her and Basil."

Sabrina felt as if a thousand pounds fell on her. She couldn't be there with her sister?

"You will see her," Veronica reassured. "Just not now."

Sabrina nodded. She knew better than to fight with her mother, especially in a time like this. Puck grabbed Red and Sabrina's hands and they ran home as fast as they could.

AN/ I would finish, but I have to finish my science fair project first. :( That was deal with my mom. I'll update sooner than before!
