Hey Princess
A Sisters Grimm Fan Fiction
Chapter 7
Sabrina Grimm froze as Puck opened the door to his mother's chamber and entered. She couldn't even bring herself to move her feet when he took her hand and slowly, gently, pulled her into the room and towards his mother's desk. He stopped at one of the two chairs in front of her desk and slowly helped Sabrina, a dazed and somewhat confused Sabrina, into the chair. Puck then sat down besides her and held her hand reassuringly.
"I'm not going to try and put this gently, Sabrina. I want to cut straight to the point," Titania said curtly, her dark hair pinned back into a tight bun, she wore a tight black pencil skirt with white pin stripes and a matching jacket with a white blouse underneath. She had black high heeled boots on with it, and she appeared older than Sabrina remembered her having been. Perhaps the distress she'd gone through had aged her? Or maybe she found no sense in staying young when her husband was dead. "What is going on between my son and yourself?" Titania asked, a cold glare locked on Sabrina.
"Mother!" Puck snapped, turning his attention from Sabrina to his mother. "I've already gone over this with you, a countless number of times. There is nothing, going on between Sabrina and I-and that is not on my choice. It is on her decision." Puck said darkly.
"Puck, silence! We are having a conversation and you are not involved. You are only here at her request," Titania glared at Puck. Puck narrowed his eyes at her and scowled, but he remained silent, crossing his arms angrily over his chest. "Now, I will repeat the question I've already asked, before I was so rudely inturrupted," She said, glaring at her own son. "What is there between you and my son?" She asked.
"There isn't anything going on between Puck and I...and if there was, I honestly don't think I see how it's any of your business," Sabrina said, trying her best to remain polite and not cruel. She didn't want to shout and scream at somebody who had once been a queen of an entire land, but she was finding it hard to do that. "Puck and I are simply friends and nothing more. And I'm not quite sure what he means by that being on only my own decision, but it's true and he's said it himself," Sabrina said boldly.
"You lie," Titania blurted.
"Wrong story, ma'am. That line was from Romeo and Juliet. Not your story," Sabrina said bitterly. It was the wrong thing so say. She knew that. But she had to. And it made her feel much better so see Puck put a hand to his mouth to hide his laughter. Sabrina grinned at him.
"Look at you two, with your secretive looks and your hidden smiles. You've got your inside jokes and your laughter...how am I supposed to believe that nothing is going on between you two?" Titania asked, raising her eyebrows. "I will not be lied to, especially by a foolish Grimm who is the reason dear, sweet Moth went and killed my beloved husband," Titania said, her voice growing louder and her anger growing with every word.
"Mom! You're not going to sit here and tell Sabrina that everything that Moth did was because of her. That's a dirty rotten lie and I will not sit around while you act as if it's the truth just because you have some stupid addiction to believing that there is some good it Moth!" Puck snapped, jumping to his feet.
"Do you see what you are doing?" Titania snapped at Sabrina. "My son is going to be the king of Faerie-my eldest son. That is the only acceptable blood that Faerie will take, and he cannot do so with an obnoxious little trouble maker like you interferring with his life. I will not stand by and allow you to ruin his life and act as if you care about him. I will not have it. And I won't allow you to try and turn my son against me. I won't have it. You hear me? I won't have it!" And that's when her eyes turned red and Sabrina just knew the flames were coming next.
"Sabrina..."Puck said slowly, through clenched teeth. "I want you to run-now. And don't come looking for me. I'll come to you when it's safe, alright?" He said. Sabrina gulped, frozen and frightened. "SABRINA! RUN!" Puck yelled. And with a shove from him-one of the hardest shoves he'd ever given her-she stumbled just a tad and then took of running, fleeing Faerie and running all the way to her apartment building. She ignored her parents questions. She locked Red and Daphne from her bedroom. She didn't even look at Robin as he called her name and she blocked out Pinocchio's annoying rambling. She just sat in her room and cried, clutching the tiny object that had been stuffed into her hands when Puck had pushed her away. His little wooden flute. There was a little note attached and slowly, carefully, she slid it out of the flute and unfolded the paper, reading the writing that was so familiar, yet so much clearer and with fewer mistakes than she'd ever seen it before.
Sabrina,
If you're reading this, then my mom had another one of her break downs. I'm giving you my flute...well, my old one, in case you're ever in trouble and need my assistance. I might not be able to contact you for a while. I need to settle everything in Faerie, but my biggest concern is your safety. Making sure everything in Faerie is how it should be is for your safety, even if you don't fully understand it yet. Blow into that flute when you need help. The pixies will know what to do. And one day-I promise you about this one-I will come back for you and I'll protect you the way I have every other time you needed protection. And at that time, I will explain everything. Just...do me a favor, alright? Don't go wowing any other guys, okay? And if I hear that you're trying to turn some other frog into your prince, I'm abondoning my kingdom to come knock some sense into you and kill that guy, because you're mine, okay? So, just don't settle for any ending other than our happily ever after, okay?
-Puck
