No reviews on the last chapter? Dang. Okay, then. I'll give you guys one more chance, in case you didn't see it or something, considering I updated within hours of each other. Here we go.
*Puck's POV*
I woke up after about what felt like and hour. I felt slightly better. Not by much, but enough to be able to stand. I walked around woozily, trying to take in my surroundings. I remembered what happened with Hook. I slowly walked away from the water, for fear that I would fall unconscious again, and plummet into the icy water. I thought back to when that happened back when Grimm and Marshmallow had first come here, when she was 12 or so. I had smashed into the barrier when I was carrying Sabrina and Daphne while trying to outfly a bunch of evil bunnies, and we all were dumped into the Hudson River.
Oh, the memories. I brought my hand up to feel my head once again, to feel that the swelling had gone down a bit, and the blood was now drier and sticky. Cool.
Deciding I would be healthy enough to fly back home, I unfurled my wings and floated upwards, drifting around like a drunken butterfly as my wings faltered occasionally and jerked. I decided that I would rather not take the chance of falling to my death as I flew back to the Grimm house. Walking it is, then.
Trudging up the worn footpath up the the main road, I sighed as a clap of thunder sounded over my head, followed almost immediately by buckets of rain pouring down on me. Grumbling, I thought of how Captain Hook had totally screwed me over. Now I have to take up his offer, or he would kill the one I love most.
It's not my mother.
It's not the Old Lady, who took me in.
Not even Marshmallow, who's basically my little sister.
Sad as it is...it's actually Grimm, and at the moment I can't keep her out of my mind. From the moment she came into my life, she's been a pain in the neck...but somehow, it was kind of a good pain. If anything happened to her...
No. I won't let that happen.
I'll take Hook up on his offer; I'll do anything, I don't care; I will do whatever it takes to protect Sabrina from harm's way.
Considering that Hook has probably been spying on me for the past few days so he could sneak the note into by bedroom, he probably has seen my feelings for Sabrina. It's kind of a good thing that she hasn't, though, because I just don't know what to say if she somehow figured it out. I've just got to stand between her and harm's way, before she gets hurt. And by doing that, I'll have to go back to Neverland on some weird evil mission with Hook, the Lost Boys, and... Peter Pan...and...
Tink!
Where'd Tink go?! I felt around in my pockets, until I heard a soft jingle, then saw a glow through my pants pocket. I gently scooped Tinkerbell out, and held her up to eye level, using my other hand as an umbrella to make sure her wings didn't get soggy from the rain.
"Tink! You okay?" Another jingle from the tiny fairy indicated a "Yes." I nodded, and placed her in the breast pocket of my polo, where she could peek her head out of the top to see where we were.
Having made my way up to the sidewalk alongside Main Street, I turned my direction to that of the house. I didn't really have a plan of what to do to cover up my meeting with Hook once I got there. I could make any old excuse for being out at what was now probably 2am, but for the knot and blood on my head? I don't know what I'll do.
I stuck my hands in my pockets, ducked my head down, and stared at my feet as they dragged through puddles on the sidewalk as I made the thirty-minute trek out of town proper, and into the country side to the Grimm's house. I looked at me shirt pocket occasionally to check on Tink.
About half way to the Old Lady's house, I bumped into Grimm unexpected.
Uh-oh.
I hadn't seen anyone else besides Hook or Tink all night. Ferryport Landing is a sleepy town.
"Puck! There you are! I- what happened to your head?! PUCK! Are you alright?! Lemme see!"
I jerked my head away from her caring hands, only to make it throb even more. The pain worsened, and I leaned my back up against the nearby diner and slid down to the sidewalk, right into a puddle.
"Puck? Puck?!"
I closed my eyes, and Sabrina's face faded from view.
