OMIGOOSH. I had like 7 more reviews and the more of them (like ALL of them!) said to keep writing. I've always wanted to be a writer, and I guess I kinda lost my confidence. And the fact that Word keeps telling me I type wrong doesn't quite help.
Anyway, thanks because after 2 short days (so uber much happened though) I am restarting. People, I have new gained confidence in myself. I love you people.
Chapter 6: I Hope Not All The People I Know Are Bad
Sabrina stumbled out of bed an hour early that Friday morning, following her dispute. She trudged downstairs, to get herself a glass of milk, when she saw another figure. His raggedy hair, the hoodie. She tripped over the stairs going back up. Yet Puck caught up to her. He stood at the foot of the stairs looking wistfully up to her figure. She presumed she didn't look very charming in two year old pajama's and bed head with the addition of her eyeliner that had streamed when her tears had flowed. Somehow Puck's sorrow invigorated her, because she raced up the stairs and ran into her room.
She looked up from her soft weeping to see what was outside her door. A few little golden puppies were pushing a bottle of water in her door. She smiled weakly. Just months ago, Elvis had found his love. After mating, 7 little cuties had been produced. Their names were Xavier, Ceasar, Bartholomew, Rose (Red), Daisy (Grandma), Diana (Daphne), and Terra (Sabrina). Rose had a little red ruby on her collar, Daisy had a little daisy on hers, Diana a little sprig of a silver plant. Sabrina didn't do anything. All the others were considered theirs, but Terra seemed like the shy one. Ceasar found his home in Mr. Canis, Bartholomew in Charming who had gained his palace back. Although the Everafter tensions were still strong, most of the town was at peace. Xavier, the shaggiest, cutest one, belonged lovingly to Puck.
And little Diana and Daisy were pushing a bottle of water towards her. How they got it up the stairs, Sabrina did not understand. But she accepted anyways. Terra padded gently into the room, looking at Sabrina. She picked Terra up. She took a big swig of the water while the other puppies wandered away. Terra began to snore softly in Sabrina's embrace. She gently put her onto the pillow and fell asleep again.
The following morning, she tried not to look distraught. She removed the remains of makeup and washed her hair. She gently applied a soft golden to her eyelids and used a brown eyeliner. After putting on a Greek styled white tunic top and light blue skinny jeans, she walked downstairs. She swerved around Puck, still trying to get over the argument. She poured herself milk and cereal, cut an apple neatly and took it to the living room to eat. After that, she boarded the bus with a light jacket on promptly at 6:45 to take her to the high school.
After a very weird class with Mr. Biggison in Science, she headed out the door to find Alea and Araea. Instead a pale white hand with black nails pulled her over.
"Sabrina." A female voice whispered. A small yet lithe figure appeared, dressed completely in black. Black lace leggings, black boots, black lace minidress, black hair and piercings everywhere.
It was Cathy Moraine. Once Sabrina's best friend, she was now the school goth model, and also a fortune telling-whiz.
"Sabrina, stay away from those who hold close to your heart." This left Sabrina confused. Not Alea, Araea, Daphne, Uncle Jake, nor Puck touched her heart. Well… shut up, me.
She knew she was thinking of Puck. But she threw the thought away quickly.
"Cathy, what do you mean?" Sabrina said carefully. She hadn't said anything to Cathy in years.
"Jacob Myers. I have a bad feeling."
"A hunch?" Cathy was famous for her often true hunches.
"Because you know it's right." Cathy whispered as she disappeared into the shadows that cast over the halls. Sabrina, flabbergasted, checked her watch. 12:32. She had promised Alea she would get to their table by 12:30. And Alea hated late meetings.
By the time she got there, Alea nor Araea had arrived. Huh, thought Sabrina. "Sabrina," a soft voice said from behind. She turned to see a timid Alea, which she had not seen in years. "I have something to tell you."
"Excuse me? I thought you and Aken were perfect for each other." Sabrina said. "Before Araea discovered he was… he was…" Alea's voice trailed off, trembling. Sabrina took her hand gently to give her comfort. "What was he?" She asked gently.
Shakily, she breathed, "He's…he's part of the Scarlet Hand."
After the day was over, Sabrina walked back home, not bothering to stop for pedestrian lights even though many cars honked at her. But she didn't care. She had let the enemy to get so close to her, her friends, and sometimes her family. Puck had to pick up the speed to follow Sabrina. He had tried to warn her of what would happen. Nope. All Sabrina heard was the rush of feelings to her head, blocking out most of her other senses.
When she flew the door open after angrily undoing the locks, she saw Daphne snuggling happily with Diana. Daphne with a little pale peach colored rose in her hair and a light sundress on was a beauty. But Sabrina did not, for once, appreciate her sister's new sense of fashion. Instead she burst into the newly built, furnished, sun room with birhgt orange and green dazzling in the sunlight. She flopped into one of the chairs heavily and heaved. Puck came in after her, sitting across for her and leaning forward with his fingers intertwined, elbows on the knees.
"Care to tell me why you ditched two classes?" Puck asked, not meeting her eyes.
Yet this uncomforted Sabrina. She had missed two classes, sure, but the fact Puck was not acting genuine to her. She merely turned away. Puck heard her mutter something under her breath. "What?" He asked, putting a cupped hand to his ear.
"Aken. He's part of the Scarlet Hand. And I was the one who let him into knowing us, interpreting our finest strategies." She sighed heavily again. This time, when Puck got up, he took the mint green cushy chair next to her. Unknowing of what to do, he grasped Sabrina's soft hand into his strong ones and simply said, "We'll kill the Scarlet Hand, Sabrina. We'll get a way to stop Mirror and annihilate their forces and reserves," he said forcibly. And for the first time in what seemed like forever, looked deeply into her eyes and read her like a children's book. He could see the fear and guilt in her eyes. But they were all too pretty. So he leaned forward just a little bit and felt a spark or a firework go off in his body when his lips softly touched hers.
A few seconds later, Sabrina realizing what this meant, slowly settled into her chair and released Puck's warm fingers, gently. She glanced up, showing her she needed time and thought for what this meant for them. And she also had to think about Aken. Alea. Araea. Daphne. Grandma. Mr. Canis. Uncle Jake. Her parents, if they ever woke up. Puck. Her brain thought for a long time about that name. Puck.
A weak smile crept onto her lips as she remembered the sensation, the thrill, the exhilaration of her second kiss. The second one she shared with Puck. After sitting there for half an hour, she got up to join the family for dinner.
Puck and Sabrina sat a safe distance apart.
I suppose I can hope not all people are bad, she thought. Probably not.
-eh? I was happy, because this is the first time I have written over 1,000 words in ONE night! OK, bed time (for me, at least. It's 10:00 here in Georgia.) Oh, and I watched the Hunger Games. OMIGOOSH. Well, BYEEEE MY SWEET TOMATOES!
