A/N: Dia Duit! Hej! Xian Chao! Bonjour! Halo! Hola! And…Hello!
I am back with 3,113 lbs. of pure story, and by lbs. I mean words, of course.
This is indeed the longest chapter on TKW, aka The King Wars and I figured since it was the fifth chapter to make it count, literally.
Sorry I haven't updated, I've been travelling and sitting on an airplane is enough, but typing and flying? I think it's near the impossible, plus, I get airplane sick #sick face :(
But it's worth it if you're going to England to stay with my favorite cousin, why is she my favorite cousin you ask? Well, for starters, she moved to flipping England! So now I have a reason to go there! And I was thinking of Mustardseed the entire time :D
But enough about me and my boring life details, let's talk about you! I'm starting this new thing/segment called Reviewsfeed, if you haven't guessed it's something like a Facebook parody type thing, you know, newsfeed, reviewsfeed, anyway, I've decided I'm going to reply to my fans and reviewers that way.
Reviewsfeed.
Cool-Bean82said: Please update very, very soon! Because of you, I have a very dirty guinea pig cage that needs to be cleaned, very badly, might I add, and I put it off just to read that little story of your's. I loved every second of it! It has an interesting plot line and was very captivating. Please continue. Oh, and LOVELY comment in chapter one or two, can't remember, about Rebecca Black. :)

The King Wars
Chapter 5
Sabrina parked their ancient, deadly contraption in the driveway, she cursed the little brunette boy named Chad, they couldn't fly to the mall because he was clueless to Everafters and such.
She was also seething because the little brat had gotten on her last nerve.
"Yeah, Daphne, that's the last time you invite one of your little overly-hormonal friends with us, anywhere." Sabrina snapped, the little twerp had hit on her the entire time.
Yes, she was using the word little to describe him, what was he, twelve? Sabrina's hands gripped the steering wheel, her knuckles going a flattering shade of ivory, note the sarcasm.
"Sorry, I didn't know he was into you like that, my bad." Daphne said from the back seat, though on the inside she was smirking, Chad told her about his little fantasies all of the time, he was such a creepy weirdo.
But guess what was tall, blonde, and red all over? Not to mention the steam coming out of his ears.
Mustardseed didn't seem that disturbed, he was a little put off though, in his mind, women shouldn't be treated as a piece of meat.
More like a precious piece of gold.
It still did bother him though, more than he let on.
Puck on the other hand? He wanted to strangle the little punk.
"So much tension." Red said as she stepped out of the car, the tension was indeed very thick.
It was so thick a knife couldn't slice it, more like a chainsaw or meat cleaver.
Daphne stepped out too, "Agreed."
It was quite ridiculous really, all of the teens were in the car fuming over a prepubescent boy who maybe had said one or two things that were…flirtatious, to put it nicely.
Red and Daphne snickered as they walked to the house.
Sabrina got out of the car, holding her Chinese takeout box tightly also as she stomped to the house.
The two boys followed suit, each silently sulking in their own way.
"Oh, Leiblings? Home so soon?" Relda said as she hurriedly stepped out of the kitchen, punching the END button on their home phone.
Sabrina raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, we are." She answered suspiciously
"Hungry?" Relda asked the group, pointing to the orange chipped cookies on the table.
"No." Sabrina and Red said, at the same time both of the brothers said "Yea." Along with Daphne.
"Oh, well, eat up!"" Relda said overenthusiastically ad she quickly walkled outside, the home phone still in her clutches.
Hmm…Sabrina thought, something was definitely going on there.
She looked at the greedy, carnivorous bunch, they were mercilessly slaughtering the poor cookies.
"They're not going anywhere" Sabrina snapped, though, in Ferryport Landing, you never knew.
Puck gave her a look, "Grimm, they're cookies." He said, his voice filled with disbelief at the fact that she didn't understand, as if that explained it all.
Sabr8una shook her head, "Whatever." She said as she went upstairs, some things would never change.
Though, things were mostly back to normal, meaning the battle had been fought through in her head, not the war, but the battle.
She decided she liked…neither, at least, not at the moment, whoever wanted her would have to win her over, though, Mustardseed had, assuming unintentionally, gotten in the lead.
Sabrina shut her door with her foot as she set down her takeout on the nightstand.
She really did have a small room.
Sabrina sighed as she plopped down on her bed, tired and emotionally drained.
She slowly drifted towards what was dreamland.
She was drifting…
Drifting…
Drifting…
"LEIBLING!" She heard her grandmother scream, presumably from outside.
Then she heard a muffled, "Which one?"
A pause.
"BLONDE LEIBLING!"
Sometimes Sabrina doubted her grandmother actually knew their names.
But Sabrina figured she was talking about her, since the other blondes were both downstairs, and within earshot of the ear-splitting battle cry.
"WHAT?" She yelled back, not wanting to go downstairs, she was tired, and a little cranky.
"COME DOWNST-Oh for Heaven sakes, one of you go get her, tell her she has a friend over."
A few minutes later there was a knock.
"Come in."
"Sabrina?" Mustardseed poked his head in, "You have a visitor."
"Hmm, I never pegged you as the messenger boy type, Your Highness." Sabrina said playfully.
Tease, Tease, Tease…The five angry letters flashed in her mind.
Her remark earned a warm smile from him. "Only for you."
And then he left. Sabrina wanted to smack her heart for flipping.
She followed him down to where she froze, and saw just about the last person she wanted to see.
Charlotte Lucy Gray.
Sabrina blinked, but there she was, her glossy chestnut hair cascading down her back, her blunt bangs just covering her big, but at the moment narrowed, blue eyes and long eyelashes. Her pointed nose was held up and her thin lips were in a gruesome smile.
And she was she holding some sort of, evil, brutal weapon that resembled a gift bag.
The horrible creature stood before her in the tallest manner, hulking and breathing heavily, for a moment, Sabrina was disgusted.
"Char!" Sabrina squealed in the next moment, running down the stairs and into her arms.
The witch was here, the witch that was her best friend of course.
"Bri!" She cried back, gripping onto the girl she hadn't seen in about a year.
"Oh, tear, isn't this just beautiful?" Puck said sarcastically as he nudged Mustardseed, who smirked.
"I'm touched to the bare soul."
"Let's go eat ice cream, and cry!"
"Don't forget about our scheduled mani-pedis!"
"I'm so inspired, we should totally go straighten our hair."
"And, like, do each other's make up."
Then they stopped and looked at everyone's both concerned and annoyed faces, and then they looked back at each other, smiling, as if they were telepathically communicating.
"SLUMBER PARTY!" They both yelled in phony, high-pitched voices that resembled two pigs about to be eaten. Alive.
And then they went into hoots of buffoon-like laughter.
Both blonde girls scowled, "Bravo, bravo, are they done yet?" Charlotte asked, her eyes seemed to be rolling continuously.
"I sure hope so…" Sabrina said, eying them in an almost scared manner.
The scene that had just taken place was extremely disturbing, though, it sounds funny, you really had to be there to be disturbed.
Their laughing died down, and then Puck looked at Mustardseed.
"Dude, I'm hungry."
Mustardseed pointed, "Dude, kitchen."
And then they were gone, much too surely everyone's relief.
Sabrina slightly shuddered, she had forgotten how…Puck-like the always gentlemanly Mustardseed could be.
"Anyways…Hi!" Charlotte smiled and they hugged again, trying to replay the scene without any creepy interruptions.
"Hey! How was the city!" Sabrina asked enthusiastically.
"It was gr-"
HOLD IT!
Whois Charlotte Gertrude Gray, you ask?
Well, she was, or more fitting to the situation, is Sabrina Grimm's best friend. The two met shortly after the war, when the schools were rebuilt, much to Puck's dismay.
At first, the two girls didn't get along so well, i.e. getting into numerous arguments, spreading rumors about each other, and on occasion trying to kill each other with sporks.
But then, one miraculous night, when Sabrina and Charlotte were forced to work together on a science project, they talked and…clicked, and then they discovered they hated each other for no reason, really, other than a tad bit of jealousy here, some disrespect there.
Anyway, from then on they became best friends
Now, resume your story with peace.
"It was great! I saw so many things, including Times Square and the Statue of Liberty!" Charlotte exclaimed as she walked into the living room and set her bag down, then she sat on the couch, eyes shining.
Sabrina smiled, the girl had always wanted to go to the city, and she was glad her friend finally got to go.
"Awesome!"
"Yeah! In fact…I think I saw..." She pointed to Puck, who had just come out of the kitchen with a bag of Cheetos, "Him."
Puck stopped in his tracks, mouth full, he pointed to himself confusedly.
"Me?"
"Yeah you, I mean, you looked a little…smaller, but I did see you, when James and I went to the museum."
Mustardseed came out, and Charlotte had a revelation. "No, no it was you!" she gestured at him.
He looked just as confused.
"Okay…" He said, "Hello to you too."
"Yes, I saw you with the redhead!"
"Mandy?"
"Sure."
There was that name again, it gritted on Sabrina's ears, Mandy.
Charlotte jumped up, a different gleam in her eye as she shook Mustardseed's hand.
"Charlotte, Charlotte Gray." She said.
"Mu-" He looked over Charlotte's shoulder to see Sabrina slicing her hand across her throat, the fact he sounded like King Henry himself was bad enough, but the name was just painfully obvious.
"M-Mitch? Mark? Matt? Matt, I'm Matt." Mustardseed stuttered out.
"What are you doing here?"
"Visiting my brother." He gestured to Puck, who had decided to watch TV.
"Oh, that explains the impeccable resemblance." Charlotte let go of his hand and sat back down, a tell-tale blush pink across her cheeks.
Sabrina raised an eyebrow.
Did she…? No, she couldn't…could she possibly…?
"Hey, Bri, shall we take a walk?" Charlotte said abruptly, her face still pink, she held out her hand, Sabrina took it.
"Sure…Granny! We'll be back!" Sabrina called as she got her coat and went to leave.
"Uh, forgetting something?" Puck said.
"No, stay." Sabrina replied, holding up her hand.
"To pick out the flowers for your funeral? Grimm, really."
Sabrina huffed, he had a point, and she didn't really mind him coming.
"Whatever, but the moment you get annoying, you're going back."
"Matt, you should totally come too." Charlotte gushed, Sabrina resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"Yeah, Matt, you totally should." Puck mimicked, batting his eyelashes, much to Charlottes annoyance and Sabrina's slight amusement.
Mustardseed made a slight face at the name, "Nah, I'm good."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Well, then, I'll stay, you two go." Charlotte said, making it so obvious Sabrina could see it etched across her face.
Sabrina left the house, she needed air, and if Puck was coming, he was coming, if he wasn't, then he wasn't.
She trudged across the leaves and twigs, not wanting to be mad at her friend for maybe liking Mustardseed, because who was she to want both?
But still…it was kind of like, love you Char…but…lay off.
"Grimm! Wait up!" She heard distant cries, when she turned she saw the one and only Trickster King struggling to keep up with her, for once.
Okay, maybe she was letting off a little more steam than thought.
"Grimm! Yeesh!" He grabbed her shoulder and stopped her from rocketing off again.
"What!"
"What's the matter with you?"
Sabrina breathed, inhale, exhale, and then she looked into his deep, green eyes, the ones that could penetrate into your soul when they weren't narrowed in a smirk or widened in confusion.
And then she went surprisingly speechless, suddenly aware of their close proximity.
"Uh…Grimm? Earth to Grimm?" It was Puck's turn to snap his fingers in front of her face.
But Sabrina was dazed by how smooth his skin looked, despite the few pesky puberty pimples, and how his hair was shining in the sun that peeked through the clouds once in a while, and his lips, they looked so soft and…kissable.
And it was only after she realized he'd shut up that she discovered she was finding out just how kissable they were.
Am I…? Oh my god…I'm kissing Puck, Sabrina thought, her mind going frantic.
And when she did come back to earth, she found that her arms were wrapped around his neck, somehow she was kissing him, granted forcefully, and she had him in a headlock, his tall figure having to bend low to meet her not-so-tall one.
Why was she kissing him? She had no idea, why was she still kissing him after realizing she was kissing him? She really had no idea.
But here was a crazy thought.
Maybe…just maybe, because…It… was…nice?
"Do you see anything?" Daphne asked impatiently as she peered out of the window, to her right was Red, holding obnoxious binoculars that saw darn near anything.
Red shook her head, "Nope, just trees, you know you guys have more land than you think, right?"
Daphne rolled her eyes, "I don't care about the scenery! What are Sabrina and Puck doing out there? It's been an hour!"
Red shrugged, accidentally adjusting her binoculars to just the right angle so she saw two people, one girl, one boy, lip locking in the forest, she zoomed in closer to confirm that it was who her and Daphne were about to be squealing about.
"Oh…my…gawd." She gasped. Daphne's little ears immediately pricked up
"What? What is it?" she asked excitedly.
"Daphne, I think I just won the bet…"
"Whaddya mean, you won? Give me those." She snatched them away and looked, when she saw what Red saw, her eyes widened.
"Will you look at that? They're about to take each other's lips off!" she exclaimed, fascinated.
Red nodded, her eyes wide too.
"But, you still haven't won yet." Daphne continued, smirking, "I know my sister, she takes forever just to pick an ice cream flavor."
"So…she's a…harlot?"
"Uh…NO! Never! She just…I just know the bet's not over, don't even get your hopes up."
Red rolled her eyes, "I'm still raising the stakes."
"Fine, you think you're that much in the lead? Psh."
"Forget about what just happened here." Sabrina said, her cheeks turning an embarrassing shade of scarlet.
She had to admit though, she was half as angry as before, more embarrassed and a little giddy.
Puck still looked stunned, had Grimm really just violated his lips like that? Not that he didn't like it but…he just didn't understand, this totally contradicted their entire relationship as enemies.
But, again, not that he didn't like it, and her lips were really soft, and he was happy, no matter how stiff his neck was, the girl had such a grip.
The two were silent as they walked the trail that they had chatted on not too long ago.
"Al-Al-Already For-For-Forgotten." Puck's face was pink, such a girly color on a man, though, he couldn't help it, that was just…wow, for him.
They trudged on in a painful, awkward silence that neither of them liked, but it was near mandatory, what could they possibly talk about now?
When they got back to the house, Daphne and Red were mysteriously nowhere to be found, and Mustardseed and Charlotte were talking politely, Mustardseed's feelings really played on his face because it was obvious he wasn't interested.
It gave Sabrina some sick satisfaction.
"Where have you guys been? It's been like, two hours…wait… ooh la la." Charlotte said, wriggling her eyebrows.
Sabrina fought down another blush. "I went to the river, I don't know where he went."
"Lies…" Puck hissed under his breath, he was over the embarrassed stage, and he was slightly smirking.
Sabrina discreetly elbowed him in the ribs, he yelped and piped down.
"Sure…anyway, I'll be going, Bri? Walk me to my car?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow, a sure sign that she had to talk to her.
"Okay."
When they were safely outside Charlotte tugged on her arm, "Um…hello?"
"What?"
"You have two underwear models in your house, under your roof, and they're twins!"
"So?"
"Tell me your dating one of them."
"Uh…no." Sabrina replied, I just kiss on one and constantly flirt with the other, but I'm totally still single, she thought, wanting to mentally slap herself.
Charlotte looked surprised, "So…your dating both of them?"
"No."
"Friends with benefits?"
"No!"
Now Charlotte was stunned. She kissed Sabrina's cheeks and got in her car without another word, she didn't understand, how could you live with twin hotties and not have one?
"Oh, I almost forgot, here, bye, sweets!" She handed her the gift bag and drove away. Much to Sabrina's relief and sadness, she hardly got to spend time with the girl, instead she was making out with Puck, she could've done that anytime!
Sabrina stopped, and the shocked-ness that washed over her every time she thought about the kiss wiped her out.
"Sabrina?" She heard a voice call her.
"Yeah?"
"Nothing, it's just, you're just, standing there." Mustardseed said as he jogged up to her, relieved that the annoying girl was gone, pretty, but too talkative, it was New York City this, New York City that, blah, blah, blah, he lived in New York City, he had been for centuries, he already knew everything there was to know.
"Oh, just thinking about…stuff…" Sabrina replied, nervous, he was magical, what if he could read her thoughts?
"Oh, what stuff?"
The kiss…A little voice in her mind sing-songed.
"Nothing." She said aloud.
"How fascinating, please, tell me more."
Sabrina smiled, Mustardseed always had a way of making her forget about everything else.
"You are such a smart Alec." She snapped gently. He smiled.
"So I've been told."
Sabrina started toward the house, it was getting colder, and the sun was starting to set.
"You know, they say if you look directly at the sunset you get a wish." Mustardseed said, gesturing to the beautiful sunset.
Sabrina snorted, "Who says that?"
"Well, by they, I mean me, of course." He replied, Sabrina giggled, again.
"Because you're such the astrology expert." Sabrina rolled her eyes, but sat on the porch and looked at the retreating light source anyway.
"Apparently, I'm more of an expert than you are, because it's called astronomy." Mustardseed said with a chuckle as he sat down next to her.
Sabrina blushed a little, "Oh."
"Yeah, Puck's splendid at that, he was always the one into science and inventions, I myself am more of a writer kind of guy."
"Puck? Into anything educational? I don't believe it."
"Well, believe it, he was considered nothing short of a genius back when we both actually needed schooling."
Sabrina gazed at the orange-ish, pink-ish sun that glowed with a beauty that only the perfect sunset could have.
She yawned, it had been such a long day, and then Sabrina found herself leaning into Mustardseed as she felt herself doze.
Her last thoughts before completely falling asleep in Mustardseed's arms were of Puck, she imagined him having the wit and brains his brother did.
And then she realized she couldn't.
Though, the boy was a good kisser, as much as she wanted to, Sabrina couldn't deny that, she felt her fingers absently touching her lips, where not two hours ago his lips had been
And he was funny, and strong, caring, and apparently smart.
But so was Mustardseed, they were so different, yet so alike.
Sighing, Sabrina made her wish.
A/N: Hope you liked it, and now, I feel I should tell you…I'M DONE! I AM OFFICALLY DISCONTINUING THE KING WARS!
…
…
HAHAHA! YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACES!
I just kidding! I just kidding! I would never delete this story! I am not that type of person and I love this story probably more than all of you do combined, it's my story baby.
Now pick up your spilled milk and muffins, and have a good day!
Ciao!
