Chapter 6- The Engagement

Hey. We have come a long way- already chapter six and my story has more than fifteen thousand words. Super awesome. Please review. I get this feeling that no one reads and then I wonder if there is any point in me writing this story but thanks to those who do review. I looked over them and was like 'aw, bless them' (I say bless a lot) :L Enjoy xx

Sabrina was shocked. Very, very shocked. Her uncle was over Briar and found someone else already? Sure it had been three years since Briar's death and so anyone would have gotten over it but then also found another soul mate? Especially someone who was so hung up on their loved one's death? Even that seemed a bit fast especially for Jacob Grimm. Uncle Jake had calmed Sabrina down and led her over to the sofas. She sat down on the love seat, breathing heavily, in a daze. Normally Sabrina wasn't like this. After all she had saved the world on numerous occasions and so she was fine with big things happening. This however, was just… just weird. She couldn't seem to make sense of it. Maybe there had been bigger changes to the family than she had realised over the years. But for Sabrina? Nothing was new. She was still living the same boring life she had always been. Uncle Jake, who was sitting on the sofa next to Sabrina, seemed to realize her surprise and reached over. He gently patted her hand. Sabrina flinched, then- coming out of her daze- blinked, looked down at the hand on her own and turned to Uncle Jake's kind face. He was exactly like he had always been; still had the same messy blonde hair, nose that had met too many fights and was broken in three different places, his mischievous grin who had found his face again after the depression that Briar's death had caused. He was wearing a long, khaki trench coat, jeans and a smart, clean shirt. Jake had had his other trench coat with all the extra pockets sewn on taken by Baba Yaga when Sabrina was turned into a frog for trying to get the Wand of Merlin back, and then Baba Yaga gave the coat to Daphne when she joined the coven of witches as the Innocent. Sabrina half-heartedly smiled. Then shook her head and frowned. She looked up at Jake with questioning eyes. She moved her hand away. Uncle Jake said nothing but his eyes gave it all away; he was hurt. Sabrina put her head in her hands. Claire, who was shifting about- awkward and uncomfortable-, was sitting next to Jake. She bit her lip and turned her head away, feeling as if she was invading the family's privacy, like she was intruding. Jake sensed her anxiousness and held her hand. She smiled at him, whispered something incomprehensible in his ear then got up and started wandering about the room. Sabrina tilted her head and scowled at Claire as she picked up some books and laughed at how many there were about Everafters. Suddenly Sabrina felt even more worried. Did Claire know about the Grimm's secret life? There was awkward silence hanging around everyone. No one knew quite what to say. Eventually Uncle Jake cleared his throat and the two girls turned to him. Sabrina and Claire's gaze met. Claire smiled at Sabrina then looked back at the book she was reading. Sabrina continued to stare at the fairy-like woman across from her. She moved about so elegantly and lightly; like a swan. Sabrina scowled at her again. She somehow felt like Claire could not be trusted, like she was hiding something. Sabrina instantly disliked people who seemed strange to her or butted into their family all of a sudden- this meant that Sabrina didn't like Claire and had her suspicions about her. You had to be careful with Sabrina. Her trust was not one that could be gained easily. It took time and patience, you needed to prove yourself and if you were one of the lucky few that earned it, the littlest thing could break that special, fragile bond so you had to be careful. Sabrina was never easy to negotiate with when it came to someone new in the family. It had taken Sabrina a very long time to trust Everafters and even now she still had their doubts about them.

"Sabrina… please! Give her a chance. You'll like her! I promise." Jake whispered to Sabrina after a while. He kept his voice low so as to refrain from Claire hearing him. Sabrina's head swivelled around to face Uncle Jake's pleading face. This was clearly important to him but Sabrina always took things too far. She would stand up for what she believed in no matter what the costs.

"Why Uncle Jake? For all we know she could be using you to get something." Sabrina snapped, turning back around to keep an eye on her. Uncle Jake's face contorted in anger. How dare she talk about his fiancé like that?

"Shut up Sabrina. She's not like that." Uncle Jake said as calmly as he could. Sabrina sighed and turned back to him. She almost laughed. Almost.

"How do you know that? You just can't invite people into the family. We've already had enough lunatics move in. Who knows what she could be planning?" Sabrina tried to reason with him. Uncle Jake's faced formed a look of pure horror and surprise. It was as if he was disgusted by what Sabrina had said.

"Unbelievable." He said, raking a hand through his hair and flopping back on the sofa. He couldn't quite believe what he was hearing. Sabrina smiled anxiously.

"Not to worry. Give me some alone time with her. I'll get the truth out of that little witch." Sabrina rubbed her hands together and prepared to get up when she felt a rough arm pull her back abruptly. Uncle Jake looked tired and he flashed Sabrina a look as if to say why-can't-you-shut-up-and-trust-me. Unfortunately Sabrina didn't understand.

"Enough." Uncle Jake said sternly. Sabrina looked at him in shock. She knew what she was doing.

"But I-" she started before getting cut off again.

"I said enough!" Uncle Jake repeated. He stared daggers at Sabrina, "You've gone too far Sabrina. I am not an idiot and I know what I'm doing. Claire and I have been together for two years while travelling the world. I think I would've known if something was up. Don't you dare defy me or accuse the person I love ever again, understand? I am not happy right now; in fact I am ashamed at you. I thought you would have known better at least. Guess not. I want you to be nice and civil to Claire too, okay? Good." Sabrina looked at him sheepishly. He was right of course. She had been wrong, stupid, and thoughtless and she had gone too far (like Puck every day when he pranked her). Sabrina sighed. Uncle Jake was taking deep breaths and clenching and unclenching his fists in an attempt to calm himself. Sabrina took his trembling hands. She looked up at him with eyes of guilt.

"I'm sorry… I guess being a detective… you have to be careful. Can't trust anyone right? Looks I went a bit too far with the whole thing though. You're right Uncle Jake. I shouldn't have said those things. They weren't fair." Uncle Jake smiled and he relaxed. He hugged Sabrina tightly.

"I knew you would understand." Sabrina felt guilty, because she had lied to him. She was still unsure about Claire, even though she didn't want to be. Claire seemed too good to be true. Guys like Uncle Jake don't strike lucky twice. There had to be something more behind it all. She sincerely wished there wasn't but she couldn't be sure until she found out. They pulled apart and both watched Claire for a while. Seeing her around all those books made Sabrina uneasy. She shifted in her seat and played thumb war with herself, trying to keep occupied. Jake sighed.

"What is it now 'Brina?" he muttered, removing one of Elvis' chew toys from underneath him, "Damn thing." He said before throwing it behind him. Sabrina eyed Claire one last time before turning round again and sorting out the words in her head.

"Do…does she know, you know, know?" Sabrina asked trying to seem casual but trying to add hints as to what she was talking about, by adding winks in the sentence time to time. Uncle Jake stared at her like she was a mental patient from the mental asylum. His eyes dotted around the room as if he the answer was there then focused on Sabrina again. He shook his head.

"I have NO idea what you meant." Jake said slowly like she was crazy. Sabrina frowned then whacked her palm again her forehead. She looked back at her uncle. She did not look impressed, in fact the opposite, she looked fed up.

"Does… Claire… know… about…" Sabrina looked around at Claire once more then back to Uncle Jake and lowered her voice, "everafters?" Uncle Jake's eyes brightened up like something clicked in his head and he finally knew what she was on about. He struggled to find the right words, pursing his lips and snapping his fingers from time to time. In the end he just shook his head and Sabrina bit her lip in worry.

"So what? She knows nothing about you? What's the point Jake? And what if she found out? She would think we were crazy and be straight out the door in seconds. Do you not see how bad this is? What happened? What about Briar? How could you move on that fast? You… you looked like hell! You were terrible and now straight away you're fine again? I don't understand this Jake. Something bad will happen, I can feel it." Sabrina gushed. Her questions, for once, needed to be answered before she took things the wrong way and turned it into something it wasn't in her head. Uncle Jake looked alarmed for a split second before her regained his 'cool'.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cool it 'Brina. I'll explain everything later, you just gotta trust me." Uncle Jake shrugged like it was no big deal. Sabrina planted one hand on her hip and pointed the other at him, accusingly.

"No, you will tell me now! Otherwise I'll take matters into my own hands." Sabrina declared. Uncle Jake raised up his hands in defeat.

"Okay. So there I was, in Egypt exploring the tombs. I heard some of the pharaoh's buried there had some magic and was determined to find it. That's when I met Claire. She had twisted her ankle badly so I helped her out. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. But I felt like I was betraying Briar so I left her with the medics and went. Surprisingly she was able to track me down to my hotel with some beer to say thank you. We had a long chat and 'Brina, I'm telling you, it was so refreshing talk to someone who could actually understand. Claire said she had lost someone too, but that person was bad to her. We instantly clicked and I felt myself attracted to her. I invited her for dinner. She looked so much better when she was clean and all dressed up. Turns out she was travelling the world too. Coincidence, huh? She was trying to find something of hers. We started hanging out each day and before I knew it we were dating. Then I had to go to India but Claire said she would come with me. We travelled for two WHOLE years. I fell in love with this woman Sabrina and I proposed. We will get married even if you or any else doesn't agree with this. She's the one." Uncle Jake said, staring lovingly at the woman on the other side of the room, who was busy patting Elvis and oblivious to their conversation about her. Sabrina through up her arms and groaned.

"That does not really help. You didn't answer any of my questions! I still don't get it. What about Briar? And everything could still go wrong. You know, this is useless. No one listens anymore." Sabrina grumbled, folding her arms and turning her head away from her uncle.

"I…-" Uncle Jake started before he was cut off.

"No, save it, I'm sick of this." Sabrina was about to leave when Claire rose to her feet. She walked over and sat down next to Sabrina. She took her hands and gave her a genuine smile but her eyes were sad; this told Sabrina she wanted to be friends but she had heard the whole conversation. Sabrina's eyes slid away and focused on the floor. Uncle Jake leaned forward to listen in to the conversation.

"Sabrina… I know you're wary of me. This must be new to you and I don't blame you if you feel cautious around me. You're probably surprised about the whole Briar thing too, well I know you are. I did hear you talking about it. Sabrina, love is weird; you can't choose how you fall for; whether cocky, kind, smelly, ugly, stupid, handsome; it's all the same. Another thing love is known for is being random. Love can happen at the most random of places at the most random of times. You're heartbroken one minute and before you know it, there's someone new in your life…" Claire looked over at Jake and they shared a look Sabrina had seen her mum and dad share all the time. It was a look that said 'you're the one for me' and 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you'.

"Anyway," Claire carried on, facing Sabrina again, "I was hurt too. My dad, he was rotten to me. I was the only way to bring money to the house otherwise I would be beaten; hit with a stick. He would have me out on the street till all hours selling various objects. Someone died because of it. I don't like going into the details but I was heartbroken that someone would treat me that way. Your uncle felt the same way but his love was of a different kind. He was heartbroken that someone would kill someone else like that. With a gun to the heart? Horrible way to go. I know his story and I am on his side as he is on mine. That's all there is to it. I know he hasn't told me everything but couples have secrets and that's for the best. I have secrets from him too and it's okay if he doesn't tell me everything. It's whether the love is strong. Whether the bond is unbreakable. Whether the hearts are true. That's the meaning of love Sabrina. Not the truth or the secrets or the person or how you got there. Someday you'll know what I mean. You'll feel it too. What I feel for this man over here." And with that she walked over to Uncle Jake, wrapped her arms around his neck, sat on his lap and kissed him. They shared a long kiss and when they broke they were both beaming. Sabrina stared at them for a long time and felt jealous of what they had. How come some people were lucky and others just… weren't? Then she also felt like a cow for how she had acted. It was none of her business what was going on in her uncle's life and she saw that now. Claire had explained it to her, and everything she had said was true. Sabrina had to look away. She felt something, in the pit of her stomach… but she didn't know what it was. So, instead, she tried to ignore it. She smiled at the happy couple and got up to go upstairs. She was just on the third step when there was a knock on the door. Looked like her family were finally back. She opened the door and had to practically leap out the way as her family all came blundering inside.

"Thank God for that." Her mother cried.

"WAAAAAAAA." Basil cried, making Veronica rush upstairs while trying to calm him.

"It's mucho coldicles. It's my new word. It means extra cold even when the weather is supposed to be hot." Daphne shivered and raced after her mother. Red looked around, dumped her coat and scarf on the floor with Daphne's and ran upstairs to her room. There was a slam of a door and Sabrina guessed Red was now in her room.

"It's about time someone answered that bloody door." Henry muttered under his breath and put all their coats away. Once he was done he walked through to the kitchen, ignoring his brother and their guest. Granny locked the door and smiled when she saw Sabrina.

"Hello, leibling." She said stuffing her keys in her handbag. Sabrina raised an eyebrow.

"Uh… hi? Why didn't you have your keys with you?" Sabrina asked suspiciously. Granny Relda smiled sheepishly.

"I forgot them…" she replied in rush, looking flustered. Sabrina raised both eyebrows but nodded and left it at that. They both walked through to the living room and Granny Relda beamed at them both. The guests beamed back at her.

"Mom, I want you to me-" Uncle Jake started before Granny Relda waved him away. Judging by his expression, he was confused. As was Claire as Sabrina noticed her raise an eyebrow and look at Jake. She could sense his surprise and slipped her hand in his to give him a comforting squeeze. Uncle Jake looked down and smiled. He kissed Claire on the cheek.

"Not now Jake. It is freezing out there and I forgot my keys so we had to get a cab which took even longer. I am tired and hungry so maybe we can discuss this over some lovely warm dinner? Then you can tell me your lovely stories and introduce me to this beautiful woman," Granny Relda smiled at them both then turned to Sabrina, "would you mind getting us a take-away from Blue Plate Diner?" Sabrina opened her mouth to reply but once again she was interrupted by Uncle Jake,

"Yes that's a great idea, mom. Thank you Sabrina, just order a few pizzas or something for everyone. Now mom if you could follow me through to the kitchen." And with that everyone left, leaving Sabrina alone. Her parents and siblings were upstairs and everyone else was in the kitchen. Sabrina just stood there gaping at them. Did they even care if she wanted to go or not? No, of course not. They only acknowledged her when they wanted her to do something for them and even then they didn't care how she felt about it… they never did anymore. It was like she was alone in the world now. Sabrina grumbled to herself under her breath. She snatched her coat of the rack, slipped on her pixie boots, wrapped on a scarf and headed for her grandmother's purse. She grabbed a twenty pound note and her keys then headed for the door. Once she unlocked all the bolts she walked out onto the porch and locked the bolts back up again. She said the secret words that locked up the house and started walking to the Blue Plate Diner. It was cold out and the wind was blowing fiercely. You would have thought it was autumn. Sabrina dug her hands deep into her pockets. At least it wasn't dark out so she could see where she was going.

"Ugh, how dare they send me out like that?! Do they even care the tiniest bit how I feel? No, they never do anymore. It's like I'm invisible or something. Maybe it's just because they don't care. I wouldn't be surprised…" Sabrina thought to herself. She suddenly felt really sad. The feeling in the pit of her stomach came back again and she felt empty and numb all over. She tried to assure herself that it was just the cold and not the hurt of being unwanted. Suddenly she heard a screech coming from near the forest down the street. Sabrina tried to peer into the darkness but couldn't see anything. She slowly walked forward and when she was close enough, she hid behind a tree and looked around one side. There was a short, thin old hag in front of her with messy grey hair that was all over the place. Sabrina gulped; it was the one woman she was more scared of than anyone else; Baba Yaga. She was shouting at her house, her hands clenched in fists, flailing about the place. What was she doing? Then she realised the house was only being lifted up by one leg and the other was kneeling on the ground. It had a nasty wound on its knee. Sabrina shuddered. She saw the Blue Plate Diner's blue neon light in the distance and knew she was close. She checked her watch and gasped when she realised it was nearly closing time- she would have to hurry. That meant having to try and creep past Baba Yaga, which would be difficult. Sabrina started on her way, treading lightly, careful not to make a sound. She even held her breath for good measure. As she got closer she could make out what Baba Yaga was saying.

"GET UP YOU STUPID HOUSE. I NEED TO GET BACK INTO THE WOODS. THEN I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. JUST GET UP OR I'LL BURN YOU'RE LEGS OFF AND GIVE YOU BABY FEET- YOU WON'T LIKE IT- TRUST ME!" she shrieked. Sabrina cringed. That woman was known all over town for being a weird cannibal lady who loved blood, pain and death. Everyone feared her. Sabrina gasped for air and breathed heavily, filling up her lungs. Suddenly Baba Yaga's screeching stopped and she slowly spun around, showing a face full of wrinkled skin, warts and sharp teeth. She pointed an accusing finger at Sabrina. Sabrina looked around and weighed up her options; she could run or she could stay here and be eaten. Sabrina turned around and ran as fast as she could. She ran past Baba Yaga and grinned thinking she had made it, when a blue light absorbed Sabrina. She found she couldn't move and was stuck in the same position. With a flick of Baba Yaga's wrist she was sent flying in the opposite direction. She fell down to the road and rolled over a couple of times. Sabrina groaned and lay still. Her blonde hair was covering her face and she was breathing deeply. Her head was bleeding and her knees were scuffed. Baba Yaga walked over to her, a smile creeping upon her face. She grabbed Sabrina's hair and pulled her off the ground.

"OW!" Sabrina grumbled, wiping her eyes. She was face to face with Baba Yaga now and could feel her hot, putrid breath on her face. Her face turned green and she tried hard not to gag. Baba Yaga didn't seem to notice. Instead she cackled.

"You can't run from me child!" Baba Yaga laughed.

"I know, you're right. I'm sorry. Now I really must be on my way so…" Sabrina said hoping negotiating with the old crone would work. Baba Yaga cackled again.

"I thought I said the next time I saw you in my house I would skin you alive. You're obviously very stupid." Baba Yaga replied. Sabrina glared at her. Was she really that stupid? Why would anyone want to face her? Sabrina came across her by accident and she wasn't even in her house. Sabrina thought very carefully about what to say. The smallest thing could upset Baba Yaga.

"But I'm not in your house." Sabrina said innocently. Baba Yaga looked around and realized this was true. She turned back to Sabrina and shrugged. She gave her a horrible smile showing all her yellow, brown and black teeth. Sabrina, once again, did her best not to gag.

"Close enough, anything to teach you a lesson." Sabrina opened her mouth to say a comeback but was flung across the grass and over to where the house was kneeling before she could. Sabrina groaned again and looked up. The house seemed to be looking down at her with pitying eyes. She looked at its legs and saw blood dripping from a long, deep cut. She looked along and saw Baba Yaga scurrying along after her. Sabrina had only seconds to react. She jumped up and leaped out of the way as a fireball came shooting along after her. It hit the houses other leg and the house fell to the floor with pain. Sabrina almost felt sorry for it but she knew she needed to keep an eye on Baba Yaga and so tried not to think about it. A dozen more fireballs came but Sabrina was lightning fast and dodged them all. Back in New York, Sabrina had joined three clubs; running, karate and netball. She would also be joining judo in October and was thinking about football. Her training meant she had become a much better fighter. Her mum still taught her and Daphne all the detective stuff and her dad taught them magic (believe it or not). They were well prepared. Sabrina did a forward roll towards Baba Yaga and kneed her in the stomach before doing a backwards roll and quickly getting up. She stood in her fighting position; legs slightly apart, knees bent and fists clenched in front her. She knew she had no chance against a witch like Baba Yaga but she had to try her best anyway. Baba Yaga started fishing around in her pockets for wands so Sabrina had to act fast. She sneaked around Baba Yaga and gave her a hard shove on her back. Baba Yaga spun around to be met with darkness. Sabrina was already on the other side of the old hag. She crouched down and her leg swept under the bony feet of Baba Yaga. She yelped and fell to the floor with a loud thump. She stayed down and found Sabrina's legs in the shadows. She sent a lightning bolt towards them. Sabrina tried to jump out the way but it just hit her squarely in the ankle. Sabrina screamed and fell to the floor. She could feel the lightning burn through her skin. She wouldn't be able to walk properly. She needed the Satins Salve and fast, otherwise it would burn through her bone. Sabrina staggered to get upright. She used a wall to help her up and watched as Baba Yaga propelled towards her. Sabrina hopped along making Baba Yaga crash into the wall only inches away from Sabrina. Sabrina's best bet was to try and get away. She hopped as fast as she could but didn't get far when the blue light surrounded her again and was sent crashing to the ground. This time Baba Yaga kept the magic on which meant she could easily jump on top of Sabrina. The witch dug in her pockets and smiled when she found the thing she was looking for. She took out a long, sharp dagger and held it above her head. It was about to come crashing down on Sabrina when something sent Baba Yaga soaring into the sky and over the tree tops. The house slowly clambered up and limped over to find its owner. A tall, blonde-haired, green-eyed boy with huge pink insect-like wings came swooping down from the sky. Sabrina, who was now free to move, held her neck as if the knife had pierced it. She had never been so glad to see Puck. He grinned at her and held out his hand.

"Looks like you need me to come save you again, huh Grimm? You would seriously be dead without me!" he said. Sabrina hated when he was cocky but she smiled anyway and hugged him tightly. Puck was taken aback by this and didn't know what to do. Eventually he frowned and pushed her off.

"No thanks, stinkpot. I would rather not get any more cooties, I told you at the car park of the train station." Puck said. Sabrina blushed but nodded. How stupid that was of her. She decided it was just from the shock of her near-death experience. Every one never failed to make the earth stop in its tracks and make everything slow down. Sabrina looked around and spotted Granny Relda's discarded bag next to the road. She hopped over to it, tripping up a few times. Puck raised an eyebrow and rushed over to help her. She was just about to fall when he caught her. He helped her upright again and she brushed herself off, then looked up at his face and smiled,

"Thanks." She said then started rooting through the handbag. "I know its somewhere here!" Puck peered inside the bag but got his head sharply pushed back by Sabrina.

"What are you looking for?" he asked suspiciously. Sabrina's eyes lit up and she pulled out a little pot that read 'Satins Salve, now with a lemony fresh scent'. You simply put this on any wound and it would be healed in a matter of moments though its odour was horrible.

"This, I'll just put it on my ankle and no one will ever have to know about what happened." Sabrina sat down and rubbed it on then dumped it back into the handbag.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Puck asked. Sabrina glared at him. Why was he, trickster king, asking her if healing herself was a good idea? He could be so dumb at times.

"I don't want anyone fussing over me. They'll just get worried. It's best if we keep this between ourselves. Please?"

"I'm no-"

"I'll give you a tenner when we get back?"

"Deal!" Puck grinned and helped Sabrina up. She moved her leg around. It was healed. Sabrina grinned.

"Done! Now let's get that takeaway!" They both set off in silence before Sabrina started thinking. How did he know she was in trouble?

"Puck…?"

"Yes?"

"How did you know I needed help?" Puck shrugged.

"I didn't. The old lady forced me to go see where you were. That's when I found you fighting the witch. At first it was quite funny, and then you needed serious help. So I saved you. No thanks needed, I'm awesome that way." Puck grinned cockily. Sabrina looked at him in disbelief.

"You were watching me the whole time and didn't realize you should come help me? So you just kept watching the fight and laughing?" Sabrina cried, throwing her hands up in that air.

"Pretty much."

"Unbelievable…" Sabrina muttered.

"I know… I'm so magnificent I never cease to amaze myself!"

"Whatever." Sabrina grumbled. They walked up to the diner only to find it was closed. All the lights were off and the place was empty. Sabrina felt like screaming. She spun around and started marching back to her grandmother's house. Puck sprouted his wings and followed her, hastily.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Where do you think dumbass?" Sabrina growled at him, not bothering to look back. All of a sudden she felt something pull at the top of her coat and before she knew it she was soaring above the rooftops. She spotted granny's house in the distance. They soon arrived and landed on the ground. They walked over to the front door and opened it. Puck flew straight upstairs leaving Sabrina to lock the door. She hung up her coat and scarf.

"Diner was closed!" Sabrina called, peering into the living room. There was no one there. Sabrina heard laughter coming from the kitchen. "Hello?" she called again. She pushed the kitchen door open and found her family and friends chatting away over soup and bread rolls. Claire was in her seat and they had moved Pucks chair against the wall so Basil could sit at the table on his high-chair. Everyone seemed to be having a great time… without her. She turned around. They wouldn't care that she was home anyway so why disturb them? Sabrina felt tear drops prick at her eyes. She didn't blink them away. She let the tears keep on coming. She was sad so why couldn't she cry? It was a way to let all her emotions out without hurting anyone, and recently she had a lot of emotions that made her more and more sad. Sabrina pushed open the door to the bedroom she was staying in and slammed it shut. It was her father's old room. Sabrina collapsed on the bed and cried herself to sleep. It had been a long day and the feeling was back again. Sabrina realized the feeling was loneliness. Sabrina had never been so alone; it seemed like no one understood her or paid any attention to her anymore. Like she had been erased from existence, like she was forgotten. Sabrina was shaking uncontrollably and she didn't care if anyone heard her cry. Soon she was in a deep, deep sleep wishing for things to be different but knowing the feeling of loneliness wouldn't be leaving any time soon….

This chapter was hard to write, I'm not going to lie! 5,623 words though. That's good. Hope you liked it! Decided to add a fighting scene in there too. Finished this chapter at midnight. Oops. Bye xx
