Chapter 4: Child of Both Part 1

Location: Local Blacksmith's Shop, Time: 1 Day Before Christmas

Saber's POV

I was at the Blacksmith's shop, ready to pick up Red's present, and I could only hope she would love it.

"Sir? Your order is ready."

The blacksmith held up the glass figure to my eye level.

"It's wonderful. Is there anyway to make it a necklace?"

The blacksmith smiled.

"I'm sure I can come up with somethin'. So, who's it for?"

I blushed lightly.

"A friend."

"A friend, eh? Seems to me it's more than that."

I looked at the man, shocked. He just chuckled.

"I've seen many men like you in my lifetime. Always trying to find something for their loved ones."

I sighed.

"Well...me, and her...being in a relationship...it wouldn't end well."

"Yeh never know. She might just like you the same way. I bet you have a chance with her, laddie. Take it from me...once you find love, you'll do anything to keep it. I never got remarried after me wife passed. I felt that she was the only one for me. Sure, there were others who I tried to court, and eventually marry, but it wasn't the same as before. Don't lose the one you're meant for, lad."

The man handed back the glass figure to me, and smiled.

"She must like wolves, eh?"

I looked at the glass figure of the wolf, and sighed.

"You have no idea..."

Location: Snow, Red, and Saber's Hideout, Time: Christmas Day, Early Morning

Saber's POV

"Red...wake up."

Red yawned, and sat up.

"Saber...what do you want?"

"I wanted to give you something...to cheer you up. Accio Red's Present."

A small red box with golden ribbon flew over to me, and I handed it to Red.

"Merry Christmas, Red."

Red started to unwrap the paper, and opened the box. She smiled slightly, tears falling, and her voice breaking.

"Did you get this... for me?"

"Yeah, I did. Red, the past is in the past. I know you fear the wolf inside you, but Red, as I told my friend Remus, who was a werewolf like you, it's okay to be both. Snow would agree with me if she was awake, but she snoring, and I don't think she's going to get up for a while."

Red let out a small laugh, and smiled.

"Thank you, Saber. I don't know what I would do without you."

Red reached forward, and hugged me. I reached around and hugged her back. After breaking the hug, I stared at Red, smiling.

"What? Is there something on my face?"

"Huh? Oh, no...I was just admiring...your eyes. They're beautiful, and Red...you're beautiful inside, and out."

"You think I'm beautiful? Well... I...think you're quite dashing yourself."

I felt my face heat up as I smiled.

"Thanks, Red."

Red was starting to lean forward as was I. Our lips almost met, when a voice spoke.

"Um, is there something going on that I should know about?"

We both looked up to see a very confused Snow White.

"No...okay, yes. Me, and Red were going to..."

"Kiss! I'm so happy for you!"

Red was confused.

"Why?"

"I've seen the way you two look at each other. It's so obvious."

Red smiled before turning to me.

"So, where were we?"

"Oh! She's going to play that game is she?"

"Oh, right about here..."

Our lips met, and a spark ignited a relationship that would stand the test of the darkest magic ever.

Location: The Enchanted Forest, Time: Late Spring, Early Evening

Saber's POV

I was running through the forest as fast as I could. Me, Red, and Snow were being chased by The Evil Queen's Black Knights...again. Snow was in the lead with Red, and I behind her.

"I think we lost them."

Red shouted out.

"Snow, wait. Wait!"

Suddenly, a knight appeared sliding his sword out of his scabbard.

"You can't run from the Queen, Snow White."

I whipped my wand out.

"Expelliarmus!"

The knights sword flew out of his hand.

"Stupefy!"

A red light shot out at the knight, stunning him.

"Come on, we need to keep moving!"

We ran up a hill when Snow stopped at a tree. It had a notice nailed to it.

WANTED

SNOW WHITE

For crimes against the Queen;

MURDER,

TREASON,

TREACHERY

I groaned.

"I really hate that Queen. Incendio!"

The notice burst into flames.

"Come on, Snow."

We turned and kept running before diving into cover. Soon, the sound of hoofs, and shouting faded away. Red sighed.

"It's okay. They're gone."

Snow groaned lightly.

"She's never going to stop, is she?"

I shook my head.

"Nope...I don't think she ever will."

Red gasped.

"My hood...it's torn. You have to go! You have to get away from me."

Snow, and I were stern.

"We're not leaving you."

"There's a full moon tonight. Wolfstime is beginning. This hood is the only thing that can protect me from turning."

"It's just a tear, Red."

Snow nodded.

"Maybe it'll still work."

"What if it doesn't? You saw what I almost did to Peter, and you saw what I did to Saber. This thing..the wolf...when it takes over me I can't control it. Please, Snow... Saber, find shelter. I'll go further into the woods, and find a place to hide. For both your sakes, we have to split up."

Snow sighed.

"All right. Just for tonight. Let's meet up in the morning by the stream, and then we'll find a safe place for the three of us. Maybe a nice cabin in the woods."

Red was confused.

"Why are you doing this?"

I looked at Red.

"Doing what, sweetheart? One thing is for sure though, you marked me as your mate, and I am sure as hell that I'm not going to abandon you now. Not now, not never."

"I know that. I'm just wondering why Snow is being so...kind to me."

"I know that the wolf is not who you really are. We're in this together, Red. You, Saber, and me."

"Thank you, Snow."

Snow helped put Red's hood up, and me, and Red headed off, not noticing a man who's eyes flashed yellow.

Accio: Summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant distance. It can be used in two ways; either by casting the charm and then naming the object desired, or by pointing his/her wand at the desired object during or immediately following the incantation to "pull" the target toward the caster; in either case, the caster must concentrate on the object they wish to summon in order for the charm to succeed.

Expelliarmus: Causes whatever the victim is holding to fly away, knocks out an opponent if used too forcefully.

Stupefy: Stuns victim. If used too forcefully, it will put the victim in an unconscious state.

Incendio: Produces fire.
