IF I GET A CONSISTANT FIVE REVIEWS A CHAPTER I WILL UPDATE MORE FREQUENTLY AND ON TIME.
A/N: REPEAT: If you are wondering, I didn't make up any thing about the whole map/set up of Ferryport Landing (or the Ice Queen); I have the 'Very Grimm Guide', which has maps of Ferryport in it, so… I made nothing up, and am just using the map the Michael Buckley created.
P.S. Sorry for the delayed update…
Disclaimer: I created Ray, Xavier, Chris, Andrew, and Sabrina's 'Past' that is all. The rest of the rights go to Michael Buckley, and whoever created the 'John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt' song.
Recap:
Once the laughing settles down I say, "Okay you guys, wait five minutes, don't look at direction we are going, we didn't do that to you, so cover your eyes." They do. "And if you can't find us in two hours we will come out of our hiding spots. Okay so see you later!" and I sprint away from them, Andrew, Puck, and Ray following me.
We head towards the darkness, not knowing what is in store for us, with big smiles on our faces.
The Past's Not Always in the Past Chapter 20
Sabrina's POV
Ray, Andrew, and Puck follow behind me, trusting I know where I'm going. We sprint off Mr. Applebee's farmland, jog through the forest, and we finally fall onto New street. We run past The Ferryport Florist and the former Ferryport Savings and Loan. I smirk at the memory of that near-death experience.
We make it to the town square and Andrew stops me from going any farther, "Where the hell are we going?!" Andrew yells.
"Shut up!" I hiss back "Peter, Red, Chris, and Daphne left already, they could hear you!"
Andrew just laughs and says, "They probably went in the completely different direction!"
I let out an annoyed huff and say, "We are going to Bannerman Island."
"Island? As in, in the Hudson?" Ray asks.
"Yeah, so let's go guys!" I say.
"Why do you get to decide where we go?" Andrew says snidely.
"Because I know I the town better than you." I growl back to him.
"But not as well as Puck." Andrew replies with a smirk.
"Maybe that's true, which it's not, but either way, I am better at sneaking, hiding, and making plans." I reply knowingly, while giving Puck a 'you know I'm right, I lead an army' look.
"Besides," I say, glancing at Ray here and there, "it's a good place to hide, Daphne doesn't even really know it exists."
"Uh, Grimm… I don't think hiding there is a good idea…" Puck says, finally adding something to the conversation. While telling me this he gave me a look that I was unable to read.
"Why is that, Fairyboy?" I say, not realizing what I let slip.
Puck glares at me then coughs and says, "Well before the… uh, forest fire," He coughs again, continually glancing at Ray and Andrew, "I heard some rumors of a dangerous women, who lived on the island and killed anyone else who stepped foot on the island…" Puck lowers his voice and said, "I heard The Scarlet Hand tried to get her to join them, she flicked them off the Island before she even knew what happened. And, also since the women is so isolated… she might still live there." He finished.
Oh… I finally understood… but Andrew and Ray heard the whole conversation… Uh oh. But Puck's wrong, she probably knows the Barrier's down… whoever 'she' is. I voice my thoughts to Puck "Surely she's left by now…" I say trailing off.
"Grimm… we can't be sure." Puck replies.
There's a rustle in the forest and all look over to the area it came from, "Come on, it's fine!" I yell sprinting down Main Street. I can hear Puck groan but start running behind me followed by Ray and Andrew.
We run past the Court House and Police Station, Blue Plate Special Diner and Jail House, The Post Office and Rapunzel's Beauty Shop, Puss In Boots Exterminator and The Bicycle Shop, Radio Station and Dr. P's Office, and finally, Sherwood Group Law Offices and Sacred Grounds Coffee Shop.
Once again I am filled with sorrow over Briar's death as we pass her old coffee shop, but I just put on a hardened expression. We cross Route 9D with little problem, and finally make it to The Marina.
"You guys get in that row boat." I tell Ray, Andrew, and Puck. I pointed to a small rowboat.
"Why can't we take one of those big motorized boats?" Puck whines.
"Do you know how to drive one?" I ask him.
"Sure I do!" He answers. I roll my eyes, give him a look and he finally lets out a sigh of defeat and says, "Fine, whatever. Just don't come crying to me for a lift off the island when you want to make a quick getaway from the ice queen." Puck grumbles, luckily no one but me heard.
Once again I roll my eyes and then I start jogging towards the biggest boat in the best condition there. Lucky for me, a lot of Everafters didn't take their boats with them to explore the world and the war didn't do much damage to the boats.
I hop the gap between the dock and the boat and I land steadily and then head over to some of the storage the boat had and open it, empty, I move on to the next one, bathing suits, I move on to the next one, some granola bars, I stuff one in my pocket and start eating another. I look in the next storage box and finally find what I was looking for. I take the first aid kit out, jump off the boat, on to the dock and head towards my teammates.
I climb in the rowboat and yell for Andrew and Puck to start rowing. "Hey! Where'd you get that?!" Puck yells at me while rowing.
"What the granola bar, it's from another boat." I say simply.
"But you didn't get me any?!" Puck says fuming.
"Nope." I say popping the 'p' and smirking while handing Ray my extra granola bar.
Puck's mouth hung open, but then he closed it scowling, "I'll get back at you for that Grimm." He told me.
I just rolled my eyes and opened the first aid kit, "Hey, why do you have that?" Ray asks me.
I take out the disinfectant and then hold up the gash in my hand for Ray to see. I pour some of the alcohol over the wound, and hiss in pain. I the put on some cream stuff that I've seen used in the war for minor cuts and scrapes. I then wrap my hand in gauze and tie the extra.
Ray's looking at me with a small smile. "So where'd you pick up your medical skills?" She asks.
"Eh, here and there." I smile back a Ray.
"What's The Scarlet Hand?" Ray asks suddenly.
I sigh; I was hoping she forgot about that discussion. I see Andrew and Puck have also become interested in our conversation, great. "Um… They were a gang that terrorized the town; a lot of people left the town when they first started causing problems. And then they started that forest fire… and it seemed like everyone left after that. The law force, with our help, and other citizen's help, eventually took down The Scarlet Hand, but by then to many lives were lost."
I can tell that Ray knows I am lying about something, am not telling the whole story, and I don't want to. Then I see Ray is about to say something about it, but I stop her by shifting my eyes from Ray, to Andrew, and back to Ray again. Ray gets the message and closes her mouth.
No one else says anything after that, I just stare at the dock getting smaller and smaller, till it's almost gone. That's when Puck yells, "We're here." I take off my shoes and socks, and step into the river. Ray does the same. We run on to the rocky beach of the island and put back on our shoes. Andrew and Puck drag the boat onto shore join us on the ground.
So, again, sorry for the delayed update.
EVEN ONE WORD REVIEWS ARE BETTER THAT NONE!
