THIRD CHAPTER HAAZAAAH!
Sabrina and her family had instantly loaded their luggage into their car and drove straight to granny Relda's house. They had decided that the best person to ask for the solution of the scenario that had just happened previously was Granny Relda.
Veronica was seated beside Basil protectively in the back seat, with Sabrina and Daphne on either side, each of them lost in their own thoughts as a thick, deadly veil of silence hung over them.
Henry kept on grumbling about how Everafters had to ruin regular mortal lives all through the drive to Ferryport Landing. It had given Sabrina a throbbing headache. She wondered how her dad knew that Mrs. Walling was an Everafter, but she didn't push the thought further. After that chanting and the sinister glowing of her brothers birthmark, she knew that anyone with a brain would know at least that Mrs. Walling wasn't a regular human being.
She briefly glanced at her baby brother, who was trying to get the stuffing out of his stuffed Panda from a minor hole. He acted perfectly normal, as if nothing strange had just happened.
But the look that Mrs. Walling had given her was enough to make Sabrina want to just...Vanish. She didn't know if the other members of her family had seen it, but Sabrina most definitely had seen it; The look in Mrs. Walling's eyes hadn't been normal. It had been insanity.
When Sabrina and her family entered Granny Relda's house, Sabrina was shocked to see such a mess corrupting the living room. Books and picture frames littered the carpet to the point where Sabrina could barely see the rug. A bunch of muddy footprints led to the kitchen fridge, and a tent had been made with two wooden chairs leaning against each other with a patch-work quilt placed on top. There were some banging and screaming noises from upstairs, followed by a familiar voice screaming insults at the havoc. Elvis came bouncing down the stairs, licking every ones faces, covering them in dog spittle.
"Yuck," Sabrina grumbled, wiping the spittle with her sleeve and backing away from the big pound dog.
"Woah, this is not how I remember Granny's house," Daphne gaped, listening to the screaming and banging upstairs,
"Yes, It is quite a handful with so many kids," Granny Relda beamed, although Sabrina could see that her smile didn't quite reach her eyes. Her granny's eyes looked tired.
Sabrina and her family were escorted to the kitchen, where Sabrina, her sister, her brother, and her parents sat by the dining table. Henry explained to Granny about Basil's encounter with Mrs. Walling, afterwards asking what kind of an Everafter she was.
"I don't really know, but I might have a suspicion that she is a Fairy in disguise," Granny Relda responded to her son, who looked awestruck. Granny Relda asked Basil some basic questions like how It had felt when his birthmark glowed, how Mrs. Walling had treated him after Sabrina's family left him with her, etc. Basil answered all these with a quaint shrug. "Basil don't 'member," He murmured while petting Elvis on the head. Granny Relda asked some more questions, but it was useless. The poor little boy did not remember, and Sabrina's heart tugged.
"What are we going to do?" She blurted out, pointing to Basil's arm. The birthmark that had been glowing yellow when Mrs. Walling was in their house looked like a normal rash, but it was beginning to look like a form; like something a little kid would build from play-doh.
"I don't know liebling, but we should check the family library," Sabrina's Granny managed a small smile, and that's when Sabrina realised something; her Granny, for the first time, did not know how to solve a problem that was related to Everafters.
"Did she say anything that might have hinted of who her identity is?" Granny Relda inquired helpfully.
"She said something like, "He is my king to be and I will come when you least expect it." Daphne recited.
"And she made some kind of a death sign," Sabrina added in.
"Are you sure she said king?" Granny Relda asked.
"Yes," Both Sabrina and Daphne said in unison.
Granny Relda pursed her lips, but did not say anything. She quickly led them to a book shelf, which drooped with books and documents and Journals written by the other generations of Grimms.
She got out a thick volume that had yellowed pages. The cover was blank but had golden vine embroidery on it. Sabrina thought it was made out of cloth, but she quickly realised that it was actually made out of thin bark when she touched it.
"What's In this book?" Henry furrowed his brow.
"You'll see," Granny Relda said grimly, flipping through the thick volume. It held dust that had been gathered into the book eons ago, and it enveloped granny Relda's face. She sneezed a few times before tapping her index finger on a certain yellowed and crippled page.
Henry and Veronica leaned in to read the page that was written in a small. Messy scrawl. Sabrina craned her neck to read too, but couldn't with her parents blocking her way.
"What does it say?" Daphne whispered, but Sabrina shrugged.
"I think I'll take Basil upstairs while you tell the girls about this," Veronica said rather shakily after she was done reading the page. She scooped Basil up into her arms and headed upstairs to the flurry of screams and banging noises.
"What Is it?" Sabrina demanded impatiently.
"Well, read it for yourself, liebling." Granny Relda handed her the book while she took Henry aside to discuss something in private.
Daphne leaned over to read as well:
Once Upon a time, a king and a Queen had gotten a daughter so beautiful, that they named her 'fairer – than – a – fairy.' This enraged the fairies and they planned on assassinating the King's and Queen's daughter. They told the cruel and old Fairy Lagree to kidnap the beautiful daughter.
Lagree was an ugly sight for many people. She had only one eye and one tooth left, and she could preserve those only by soaking them in a magical liquid at night. When the cruel fairy kidnapped fairer - than - a - fairy, she was only seven. Fairer – than- a - fairy's dog and cat followed Lagree, where she took the king's and Queen's daughter into a castle and in a pretty room – but it was charged to never let a fire go out.
One day, there was a fountain and a rainbow appeared, In which a voice told her that he was a prince held prisoner by Lagree fallen in love with fairer-than-a-fairy. They talked for-
Sabrina stopped reading from there, knowing that nothing else would be useful. How could this be related to Mrs. Walling? She wondered.
Daphne gingerly set the book down, rubbing her eyes. "This book has such big words and such small writing! Its-its whackyactic!"
"Do you know how this could be related to Mrs. Walling?" Sabrina asked, not even bothering to inquire about Daphne's new word.
"Maybe...Mrs. Walling Is Lagree. Granny said she might've been a fairy." Daphne suggested, yawning.
"Well, I guess you could be right. But I meant, It doesn't say anything about weird glowing birthmarks and the chanting Mrs. Wall- Lagree had done." Sabrina was stumped, and she was so desperate to save her brother. First. Mirror had kidnapped him, tried to get inside his body, and now, poor Basil was under some... Enchantment.
Daphne didn't reply, and Sabrina realised her sister had dozed off. Sabrina slowly tiptoed over to her Granny Relda and her father, who were oblivious to her approach.
"- But it would be even more dangerous," Henry was saying.
"It's the only way, Henry, just listen to me for once." Granny Relda looked tired than usual, her prevalent laughing face wasn't there anymore, replaced by a determined look; one that Sabrina was familiar with.
Henry must've sensed Granny's exhaustion, because he finally gave in with a huge sigh. He shouldered his blue tote bag that he kept his possessions in and wordlessly ascended upstairs.
Granny Relda finally noticed Sabrina standing behind a pile of huge hard covered books.
"What were you talking about?" Sabrina blurted out accidentally.
"Your family staying here In Ferryport landing," Granny Relda said earnestly. "It's the only way."
That night, Sabrina slept with Daphne in Red's room, which used to be their own. (Red seemed pretty content with the arrangement.) The Lost Boys were asleep in the room Mirror used to have been contained in. Pinocchio, much to his disappointment and constant grumbling, had gotten the attic for the night. Sabrina's parents and her baby brother slept in Pinocchio's room.
Mr. Canis had briefly greeted them upstairs before going back to a fit of coughs and into his room. Granny Relda slept in her usual room.
Right before Sabrina had been about to crawl into bed and snuggle under the warm comforters, her Granny had come inside the room, saying with a smile, "Feel free to get acquainted in this house, after all, this was where you grew up to have a real home." Her granny had then turned off the lights and shut the door quietly.
Sabrina had laid awake for a few hours, distinguishing about what her granny had said earlier about her family staying in Ferryport landing. Would they live here again for a long time? Would they be safe here in Ferryport landing, as Granny Relda had said so? She finally fell asleep to Daphne's snores and Red's soft breathing.
In the morning, Sabrina woke up in an empty bed with the sun filtering through the blinds. She squinted in the bright light, and to her horror, saw a familiar, brutal and scarred looking face with glowing red eyes staring right back at her, only mere inches from her face.
"You will also be useful, the power is stirring inside of you..." The face chided, It's lips twisting into a cruel sneer, one that held pure evil and menace.
And that was when Sabrina screamed, a bona- fide girly scream that she had never, ever, in her whole life heard herself doing it. (And never again would she want TO) The face cackled menacingly before dissolving into a slowly churning mist, until it was completely vanished and all that was left was it's putrid smell that reeked in Sabrina's nose and the sunlight blinding her. She hadn't known until then that she was still screaming. She tried to suppress her screams, but it was like her mouth had a control of its own.
What Had Just Happened?
