A/N: Hey pretty people sorry for the long wait. I actually got into a car accident and college started. Basically I don't have a car and probably won't for the next two months. Forcing me to kinda drop school this semester and also figure out how to get to work. In all the chaos I haven't written the next chapter which was when I was going to post this chapter and start editing the next. I hope that made sense. Anyways hope y'all are well! Remember R&R please!

Guest chapter 4 . Jul 16
I don't think you should integrate the Omen and siren stuff into this one cause I like reading the universes you create. I love how even though Teague is all "dark prince", he still cares about Daniel. Do update soon!
Dear Guest,
And OKAY! Thanks for the input! I'll try and update soon! Its like one thing after the other this year! Maybe 2015 ain't my year... :P

Awesome! I'm so happy you decided to continue after Forever. I've been super behind on my Fanfiction reading, lately. Great chapter!
Dear Fluffy,
Thank you :3 I've been behind as well! I promise I'll try and work on a sequel chapter to "Talk Dirty To Me," that you asked for!
Love,
Madaleine.
It was lunch time and Mina scanned the room looking for Ever. She hadn't seen the pixie all day, but she knew she would show up. The cafeteria was selling French fries, and there would be no way that, that pixie would not show up for those fries. She had a serious thing for fries. Hell Mina had bought an extra thing in hoping to entice the pixie just to hear her out alone.
Finally she spotted Ever sitting alone at a round table at the far end of the cafeteria, she swallowed, hard. She stood there only for a moment, summoning all the courage she had- then walked straight towards her. She ignored the cries of people calling out to her, they sounded far and sistant anyways, since the blood was pounding in her ears. She thought she read somewhere when your ears turning read was a sign of defensiveness, if that was true. That was definitely not the case here. She was terrified out of her mind. She really didn't have a good explanation other than that she might kill her. But Ever wouldn't kill her in front of the school would she? Or would the story just cover that up too?
Ever didn't bother to look up as she said, "shoo fly don't bother me," sneering.
"Look I know you hate me..."
"Hate you? No sweet heart, I loathe you." Ever glared at Mina and went to go and walk away.
"Look Ever please! I just need to ask you a question."
"You know what? Why don't you go and ask the guild? Or better yet your new nixie friend."
"Look Ever I just need you to help me out-"
"Help you?" I think you have the wrong idea here Gimp. I only associated with you because of Jared-" her voice cracked at his name, she shook her head quickly though, regaining her composure. "I'm not going to help you-"
"Do you know who Daniel is?" Mina blurted out cutting Ever off.
Evers eyes widened slightly, it happened so fast Mina wasn't sure if it actually happened.
"Don't know who that is." She said disdainfully sniffing the air, her tone of voice was high pitched but soft, like when Iago imitated Aladdin, except without the hatred. Ok, the hatred and spite was there, but similar in pitch.
Mina shook her head of the disney movie, stamping her feet and ran her fingers through her hair, "but the other day Teague and Jared said-"
At Jared's name Ever stiffened, "what are you talking about?" Ever snapped more than she actually meant to.
"They said you would know who I was talking about!" Mina snapped back.
Ever stood there in silence for a moment before she replied. "Jared said? What are you talking about? Remember you KILLED him! And last time I checked, Grimm's can't talk to the dead." She said venomously.
Mina was frustrated by now, "no we can't. But Jared somehow took over Teague's body-"
"WHAT!?" Ever asked stunned.
But Mina was already on a rant, "he told me that Daniel was in trouble he was his best friend. And the queen wants him dead. And that he wants me to help Daniel, and you would help me. Which believe me I scoffed at. And then Teague yesterday dragged me from my home to the fae plane and told me that I had to help Daniel or else. So if you could PLEASE! I'm begging you ever just tell me if there is a Daniel. And what does he look like? I don't know what else to do. Because before Jared could say anything Teague took back over-
Ever stood there in silences she was angry. Jared had taken over Teague's body? And he came to Mina not even her? Her stomach dropped. He came to her. Gimp. Not the pixie who has been by his side since day one. But Gimp.
"Oh would you just shut up! You know your pathetic!" Ever screamed.
Mina was taken back, "even if there was a Daniel, which I'm not saying there is," as hell she would admit to Mina that she knew who he was. In fact she did know who Daniel was. But Daniel and her weren't exactly simpatico, in fact the feeling of mutual disdain and borderline hatred was mutual for the both of them.
"I wouldn't help you anyways Gimp. This sounds like a trick to try and get me on your good side. Well news flash it's not working."
The bell rang for lunch to end, Ever took the moment to turn around on her heels and walk away leaving a floured Mina behind.
Ever walked away pushing and shoving through the crowd, only feeling slightly guilty. Yeah she had just lied, but there was no way what Mina had told her, was possible, because the royal family loved Daniel, he was their second-errr third son they never had. And he was the only person Teague was actually compassionate around, and not a crazy avenge seeking psycho around. The queen wouldn't just kick Daniel out...Or would she?
Ever stopped where she was in the hallway, people giving her dirty looks as they ran into her, screaming at her to get out of the way. But she didn't care, what had finally hit her was like jumping into a lake of ice cold water, with ice floating at the top even.
If Daniel had helped Jared crossover, that would be the only thing she could think of that would make Maeve kick out Daniel. She had practically lost the favorite part of her son to him. And she couldn't take it out on Mina not directly and especially not Teague he was too powerful. And not to mention Mina was his pawn. Honestly Teague had manipulated this perfectly. Except for the part where he lost Daniel. That she was sure was not part of the plan. Her stomach sunk further, what if Daniel did come here? What if he died back in the fae plane? Crossing over? Just being over here? How would Teague handle that? What would he do? She shuddered, she couldn't just help Daniel, or she could but she knew that Daniel wouldn't ask her and avoid almost everything before he would accept it.
"EVER! GET IN MY CLASSROOM!" Mr. Morgan called out to her annoyed, after having to call out her name 4 times now before she even responded to him. Ever jumped and looked around, realizing she was alone in the hallway. "I have class to start, so unless you want a D-Hall-" He didn't even need to finish, she ran across the hallway and into her seat, faster than he could even blink. Shutting the door behind him.
Daniel sucked in a deep breath as he landed with a hard thud on the ground. He hissed in pain at the impact on his hands and knees being torn and bruised. He moaned in pain, and rolled his head from side to side, taking in his surroundings. He was in some forest, he coughed slowly getting up, his body aching in protest. He panted heavily, trying to ignore the throbbing in head. He stumbled his way over to a tree, hearing what sounded like a river near by. He sighed looking around, so this was the mortal world.
He collapsed over to a nearby tree, as he sat down a faded photograph fell out of his pocket. he feebly grabbed it and stared at it. He closed his eyes and held it tightly, it was a picture of his family and his grandfather. He laughed bitterly inward, the only people still alive in that photo were him and his little sister. He remembered that day well too, the day the picture was taken. His mother would not stand anything less than perfect that day. He laughed as his mother told him jokingly/seriously that he was not even allowed to move, unless it was to go the bathroom, and that was iffy and went for his grandfather as well. His grandfather smiling mischievously at his mother and raising his eyebrows. His heart ached a little more, his grandfather had been the last family aside from his sister that had died. He had been like a father to him when his died when he was younger, and been there when his mother (his daughter) had died.
He looked down at the picture, he was on his grandfathers lap, while his mother, carrying his baby sister, and father stood behind them smiling. It hit him hard when re realized that, this aside from the blanket his mother had made him, a pocket watch from his father, and the tattered yarn bracelet his sister made him when was 9, this was all he had. His grandfather had left him a beautiful domino set that someone had smuggled into the Fae plane years ago, but he had to leave it at the castle. In the back if his mind the memory of the last game he had played with him played like a movie.
By then Grandpa didn't t know him anymore. He had stroke, and lives where all the old folks live out their lives. He couldn't even recall his name. He just looked at him and said, "how about a game of dominos?"
Then he smiled.
His heart ached that day knowing to him, he was just a stranger passing through. He thought he had learned all those lessons years ago, but he learned another lesson about life that afternoon, as his mother had once eloquently put it. The hardest part of living is letting go...
Of the people that you love, memories flashed before his eyes of Jared before he had changed, his father, mother, and grandfather. The Dreams you've known, nothing ever stays the same, he thought bitterly. His mother lived by that, when people would ask her how she would lived after his father had died. She would tell them, "somehow I'll find a way, to embrace the change, and release the fears I hold. The hardest part of living is letting go. But I have a family to raise that need me. I won't fall apart on them. I will grieve, but I will not fall apart."
His mind came back to that last domino game he had played with his grandfather, and the final words he had said to him during that game, as they discussed life..."Life is made of moments, he had said, some are tarnished, some are golden. But I hold them all in my heart. Now everyday I'd count my blessings. I tried not to take for granted the people in my life...He wiped away a tear that he hadn't known fall. His Grandpa's mind wasn't what it use to be that day, but what he learned from him, and was reminded of that day will remain priceless to him.
He swallowed and looked upwards, the sky was edging further towards night fall. He sighed, he knew what he had to do, and that was not wallow in pity, but go and find the Grimm, and as his mother had done, and what his grandpa had told him. He would hold all the memories, spending time with Prince Jared, Jared, and even Teague, the life his sister was given at the castle graciously by his family, and be thankful that they spared his sister and her family, and finally "embrace this change, and release the fears I hold," about his new life.
He took a deep breath, putting the picture in his pocket, and lightly jogged through the forest and his way to the Grimm's.
Teague was standing over the book in deep concentration, writing the next "story." He smiled a most charming smile, that conveyed enough hatred to knock down an entire city to the core. He sighed and put the quill down, and closed the book. As he walked away, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his head, that nearly had him doubled over on to the ground. He caught himself though and shook his head, and walked away.
It felt strange, the sensations that were running through it were none like what it had felt before. It hummed with power, and aura that was brand new...The book sat there on pedestal, shaking in its place, till suddenly it opened. The pages flipping on its own accord, and finally closing shut.
