OMG! Your comments are so inspiring! I love you! Oh, btw, since I forgo- wait, since I purposely decided that Uncle Jake and Mr. Canis wouldn't be appearing here, just assume that Jake's with Briar and Mr. Canis is meditating. Thx!
She froze in Puck's glare. His eyes were tinted, just a little, red. He cared for that stuffed toy that much? Sabrina felt horrible. She hadn't meant to, really! She just wasn't sure he'd listened to that.
"Did you do it?" He asked. His voice sounded strangely calm. Calm before the storm, she guessed.
"Puck, I really didn't mean to. I ju-" She was cut of.
"You DID do it!" He screeched. She heard stomping upstairs. He walked up to her, and she backed up against the wall. "I can't believe you! Didn't you know how important".
This time she cut him off. "Puck, please just listen to me! I-" Whack!
"Puck! How could you?!" Granny yelled. Sabrina felt the sting immediately. The world just kind of slowed down there. Realization and intense guilt flashed in Puck's eyes. Granny was yelling loudly, and Daphne and Red were behind her. Daphne was gasping, her eyes like saucers. Red froze, having a look of sadness and shock mixed together.
Puck had just hit Sabrina with his wooden sword, hard. It showed, too. The big, purple looking bruise was just beginning to show. It hurt so badly, but the pain was intensified to Sabrina, knowing it was Puck who caused it. How many times had Puck told her she'd get hurt of killed without him, and here he was, causing that pain?
"Wait," she thought. "I did rip his toy. He probably cared more about it then he let on" Nonetheless, that didn't stop her from punching him in the stomach.
He doubled over, gasping. Granny got quiet, and Sabrina took the opportunity to run out the back door, through the yard, and into the cold, dark woods.
Adrenaline can be really helpful when you're running on an injured foot, Sabrina noted. She could feel her cheeks burning from the cold. She was leaning against a tree, sucking in air while trying to calm down. The last hour of her life had been a nightmare, and now she was probably running around enemy territory, with the Scarlett Hand still around. The night was overcast and cold, the wind unforgiving. She wondered how Puck was. Maybe Granny had decided to fix Puck's toy, decided she'd come back later. Sabrina realized she needed to go back soon. Her arms were freezing. She'd wish she had a jacket for warmth. Suddenly, a dark figure passed by in the bushes.
She froze. Maybe they didn't notice her. But that thought flew out of her head when she realized if she could see them, they could see her. That, and she was breathing as loud as a train engine. She got in her fighting stance, wincing when she put weight on her foot.
"Who's there!?" She yelled. Might as well let them know she saw them. It wasted no time. But it wasn't just one, but three. Two goblins, both taller than her. Then there was Beast. And on all of them, a handprint on their chest in scarlett paint.
"You should be ashamed" she told Beast pointedly, thinking of Beauty.
He shrugged. "I choose the winning side" he replied. "You, one the other hand, did not. Soon, you'll die. Your family will follow." He said. "Sadly," he said with a frown. "I don't have the privilage of that task. I've been sent to obtain a Grimm. Not specific, but still very do-able. And I do have the privilage of that." Now, a smirk. "So, option A. You can come quietly, and I won't hurt you so badly. Or, option B. You can try to fight, but I won't be to blame when I bring you to the master half dead." Now, a full grim. "But I think we both know what option you want."
That's when she decided to attack. She started with kick aiming toward his side, but he caught her foot and swung her around, throwing her toward a tree. Her left side, of course, had to slam into it. It took all her willpower not to just give up there. The goblins charged, and she realized, they had knives. She kicked one in the groin, the other took a punch to the jaw. They stopped, and she took that time to jump up and kick one in the eye. That one was down, but the other got up, slashing downward towards her chest. She felt the point dig below her chest, but she jumped back before it could go deeper. Sadly, Beast had taken his time to move behind Sabrina. So, when she jumped back, she jumped right into the waiting Beast. He hit her head, effectively knocking her out. Just before that though, she could her a very, very distant cry of her name, before Beast laughter had drowned it out, and she blacked out.

I felt on a roll tonight! Sadly, I'm tired. I'll write more soon, promise!
