Hey Princess
A Sisters Grimm Fan Fiction
Chapter 13

Sabrina Grimm stormed itno Faerie later that day, walking right past Bess, who still worked there, and pushing past the guards who tried to stop her, not quite realizing exactly why she was.

"Where is he?" She glared at Mustardseed as she entered the study where Puck was supposed be. "Where is the idiot?" Sabrina asked bitterly, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Hiding, if he were smart," Mustardseed observed, looking up from her from the desk he was searching through.

"What are you doing?" She snapped, turning her anger on him.

She wasn't sure what she was going in Puck's private office, but she knew it couldn't be anything good. He was going through Puck's personal things and that overrode any anger she had towards the immature little fairy boy who just didn't understand what maturity meant. Did he really need to prank somebody to be happy? And did it have to be at Sabrina's expense?

"I thought you were on a mission to find and argue with my brother?" Mustardseed sighed.

"I want to know why you're going through his desk, before I go scream at him," Sabrina said.

"I really don't see that it's any of your business," Mustardseed said bitterly. "What did he do, anyways?" He asked. Sabrina knew this tactic. He was trying to distract her from his offenses by making her remember her anger at Puck. Well, she refused to fall for it. After all, she'd invented that one.

"I really don't see that it's any of your business," She mocked.

"So, it would seem that we're at a stand still?" He asked, slamming the drawer shut as he pushed his chair back and stood up.

"Well, it won't affect me all that much. I just need to let Puck know you were ransacking his office, and you'll be busted. As for my secrets? Puck will find out eventually, because as soon as I find him, I'll be able to yell at him properly and he'd know exactly what he did wrong, won't he?" Sabrina smirked, raising her eyebrows.

"When'd that innocent little eleven year old turn into this fifteen year old...animal," The way he said the final word implied things that Sabrina didn't even want to think about. She shuddered as he left the desk and started towards her. It took everything she had not to take a step back and get away from him, giving up on her attempts to find and properly punish Puck. "I scare you," He smiled, enjoying her awkwardness. "Don't I?" His smile turned into a teasing, cruel, and mocking grin as he kept walking towards her. "Well?" He asked her, stopping right in front of her.

"Where's Puck?" She gulped, trying her hardest to keep her voice even and all traces of fear from it. She refused to let Mustardseed get to her. She just refused.

"He hasn't returned yet," Mustardseed smirked. "Now, you still haven't answered the question," He said, cocking his head a bit as he studied her.

She swallowed, taking a deep breath before answering. "You do not scare me," She said boldly, hoping that all traces of fear were gone at last.

"And the other question? When did this transition from little girl to...young woman happen?" He asked. That one word sent shivers done her spine. He didn't mean it about her age. He meant it about her attitude and her looks.

"I grew up. Losing your parents and fighting a war does that to you," She said bitterly. "Now, I strongly suggest that you back away before Puck gets here, because he might do something we'll all regret if he sees you and I like this," She said.

"What? You mean like this?" He brought his hands up and slammed them into the wall behind her, pining her there. "Don't worry about my brother. He won't be back for a while,"

"I thought you didn't know where he was?" She challenged.

"Oh, and you believed me?"

"Where is he?"

"He said something about needing to make something up to you. Apparently he realizes you're angry. Too bad your anger flooded your good sense. He's probably on his way to your house, looking for you,"

"And when he doesn't find me?"

"Oh, Faerie will be the very last place he thinks to look," He guaranteed.

"So what are you planning on doing?" She asked softly.

"Oh, I'm not planning on doing anything," He shook his head, pushing away from the wall and walking back towards the desk. "Except for continuing my search until I find what I need. If my dearest brother hasn't returned by the time I find it, well, maybe you'll be a nice little victory conquest. Or maybe, if my searches seem to be futile, I'll just use you as a different way to stick it to my brother," He glared.

"I'll leave," She said as he started walking towards the desk.

"Good luck with that." He chuckled.

"Why?" She asked.

"That door? As soon as it closes, it locks, and unfortantely, I have that key," He said, looking up at her with a smirk as he sat back down and resumed going through Puck's things. Sabrina stood there with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall, trying her very hardest to not let her fear show. What she needed right now was a plan, because as long as Puck wasn't in Faerie and she was locked in this room with Mustardseed, she was in danger. And while she may have grown used to constant danger of the past few years, none of it had ever been for anything other than her family's life and safety. This time, it was for her own well-being.
