Hey Princess
A Sisters Grimm Fan Fiction
Chapter 3: Traveling
A/N: Thank you guys for all the awesome reviews! They're what encourages me to update quickly (I've got a few other fics to work on, but if I see a lot of people want one of them updated, I get to work on that.) Also, unless I can figure out why my mom's laptop won't let me update, I'm probably not going to be able to update until the weekend, because my laptop is broken.
Sabrina Grimm woke up the next morning and rushed to get ready for school. She was a seventh grader now and in a school by herself, since the younger kids were in elementary school. But, now she would have Puck with her. She smiled as she brushed out her blonde hair. She studied her reflection in the mirror and debated using the the make-up her mother had gotten her over the summer.
By the way, you don't need the make-up.
She shook her head left the bathroom without applying anything to her face. The little fairy never gave her compliments on her appearance-that had been one of the only ones she'd ever received from him. And that had to mean that he'd meant it. And honestly, for a thirteen year old girl, all she cared about what Puck's opinion of her.
"SABRINA! Puck's here!" Veronica called. Sabrina smiled as she raced towards the door, greeting Puck with yet another tight hug.
"Is this going to be a routine?" Puck asked her, raising an eyebrow as she broke away and grabbed her bag. "Because I like that greeting," He smiled. Sabrina giggled as she kissed her mother goodbye and followed him out the door.
"Why are you going back to school? You hated it," Sabrina asked him as they lowered the steps onto the subway. "And it's not like you have to go. You're an Everafter," She frowned.
"Um, Grimm," Puck shook his head as they entered the terminal. "Just in case you forgot somehow...so are you," He laughed as they got onto the train.
"Oh, yeah," She giggled. "But...why are you?" She asked him as they sat down.
"Um, didn't I already tell you this one? I need to protect you, duh," He rolled his eyes. "Are you forgetting about your little...problem?" He asked, leaning closer to her and whispering the last word softly into her ear.
"I think it's more along the lines of your little problem," Sabrina shrugged off his insult. How dare he continue to imply that she needed him to save her life constantly? She'd saved his life as well! Okay, so the ratio was probably something like, 98:2, but whatever. She'd still saved his life and that was all that mattered.
"What are you getting at?" He asked her.
"You, my friend, have a very serious problem. You've got a hero complex," She smirked at him.
"What does that even mean?" He questioned.
"It means you're obsessed with being a hero and saving people. It's what you want to do," She explained, rolling her eyes at his stupidity.
"Um, you're wrong on that one," He shook his head. "I don't worry about saving just anybody's life. It's usually just you," He said cheerfully. "Even your daddy knew that one," He mocked her. And the memory hit her again, causing a wide smile to take over her face.
"I thought your little crush on my daughter would cause you to be a little more protective," Henry had glared at the boy who'd just shaken his head. His ears had turned red and then the blush had taken over his entire face. He was embarrassed that Henry would say such a thing-though true-in front of the entire army. But, he was the Trickster King and he always got the last word in.
"It's more than a crush Henry," He'd said darkly. "I'm going to marry your daughter someday, and her saving the world is kind of important to my plans," He'd said confidently. Henry had just continued to glare at the boy while Daphne had squealed excitedly. The Everafters had started whispering and Sabrina's jaw dropped. "You can't embarrass me Henry," He'd smirked. The unsaid words were easily understood. Henry couldn't embarrass Puck...not about Sabrina. He'd shout how he felt from the roof tops.
"What's up with you?" Puck asked as the train stopped, staring at her in confusion as he stood up.
"Nothing," Sabrina said quickly as she jumped up. "Our stop?" She asked and instantly found herself stupid. She'd been making this trip much longer than Puck, and here she was, asking him if they were in the right place? She shook her head. These stupid Puck memories were going to be the death of her. Or, at least the end of her tough girl image. She was supposed to be strong and independent. Why did Puck always have this effect on her?
"Sabrina?" Puck asked softly. "Are you okay?" He wondered as she followed him off of the train.
"Yeah...I'm fine," She shook her head. "Let's just go, alright?" She asked him, smiling at him. But the smile was forced and fake. She was being naive and silly to believe that he wouldn't know that. She knew that he noticed everything about her. She knew how he was. She knew that every time she was upset, he knew and it killed him inside. She'd learned that when the little piece of the mirror had been stuck inside of her.
"No," he said softly as she passed him. "Sabrina Grimm, I know you and you are not fine," He whispered softly after her. But through the commotion of the subway and the distance between the two teenagers, and the softness of his voice. She didn't hear him. Not a single word.
