I'm back! Did you guys miss me?
Puck: No.
Me: Hush. Okay, if you guys have noticed how random my last chapters have been it's because I want to give the gang some days to rest before I punched them in the gut with something big. And I pretty sure that the big thing will be coming up in the next chapter. And it will leave Sabrina and Alice thinking Puck is an idiot.
Puck: I'm not an idiot!
Me: Yes, you are, everyone knows it. They also know that you have a huge ego.
Puck: I do not! You are so mean to me!
Me: What's your point?
Puck: That you're mean to me.
Me: Whatever. Just shut up I'm talking. Okay, guys, I have some bad news.
Puck: You're leaving the country! Please tell me you're leaving the country!
Me: No! Now shut up! Okay, the bad news is that school has started again! I know what you're thinking: NOOO! I did that too. That's the reason I couldn't update sooner. And we all know that school means that I won't be able to update as much but I will try harder to.
Puck: No you won't. You're to lazy.
Me: Puck! Go to your emo corner! Now!
Puck: What? But-
Me: Go!
Puck: But-
Me: Now!
Puck: *goes to the emo corner*
Me: I don't own the Sisters Grimm or Paramore or Miley Cyrus or Brick by Boring Brick actually by Paramore or anything else. Now on to the story!
Sabrina's POV
Ow! Ow! Ow! That hurt! Okay, you're probably wondering what hurt so flippin' much, right? Well, I was walking to the living room when I stubbed my toe on a chair. So yeah, that's the whole short, painful story. So I am now gripping my foot, and hopping around in circles, while saying, "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
I sucked in a deep breath, and slowly released my hands from my foot. I sighed in relief when I realized the pain had subsided. I smiled, then continued on my way to the living room.
When I got there I saw Alice and Puck arguing, and wrestling for a small remote.
"No! I refuse to listen to that crap!" Alice yelled as she snatched the remote away from Puck.
"Crap?" Puck gasped. "It is not crap!" He leaped on Alice, and grabbed the remote before she could get up.
"Oh, it is, and you know it is!" Alice shoved him down, and took the remote roughly.
"You're just jealous because I'm tall and you're short!" Puck retaliated as he jumped for the remote in Alice's hand.
"What? I am not short!" Alice screeched, moving her hand so Puck flew past her, and crashed into the wall. "I'm just vertically challenged!" Before Puck could retort, I quickly snatched the remote from the both of them.
"Okay, what are you guys arguing about?" I asked, looking from Puck to Alice. Puck opened his mouth to answer but stopped when Alice beat him to it. (Wow, Puck is always interrupted isn't he?)
"Well," Alice began. "Puck wants to listen to Miley Cyrus for some crappy reason, when in reality he only wants to listen to her because he thinks she's hot." She paused for a moment so I could soak this all in. And when I did, I gave Puck my terrifying death glare. He cringed in fear much to my satisfaction.
"Sexist pig," I muttered under my breath. "Go on." I turned my attention back to Alice.
"Okay. Well, as you know, Puck wanted to listen to Miley Cyrus, do what he calls singing, but everyone else calls screeching. But I wanted to listen to Paramore play real music." Alice crossed her arms over her chest, then glared at Puck for having a poor taste in music.
"I agree with Alice; Miley Cyrus sucks, Paramore rules." I pointed the mini remote to the radio, that was sitting on the table, that was next to the TV. (A/N: Was that confusing or what?) As the radio came to life, the song 'Misery Business' was blasted out of the speakers.
"See? This is real music." I yelled to Puck over the noise. He just pouted on the couch, while Alice and I danced like dinosaurs to the beat. Even the puppies came into the room, and started running around our feet, while Puck stayed on the couch. But the power of Paramore was too much for Puck, and soon enough he was dancing along with us. And let me tell you, he is the worst dancer in the history of horrible dancers.
I thought, What the hey?, and then started singing along to the song. Alice saw in my mind what I was going to do, and started singing with me. I, seriously, almost fell over when I heard her voice. It was beautiful. No words can describe it. The only bad thing is that her voice really didn't fit the song, but whatever.
It took Puck the whole song to realized that we were singing along, so by the time he joined us, the song had already changed. But I wasn't complaining 'cause the song that had just come on was 'Brick By Boring Brick'. In other words, my all time favorite song in the History of my Favorite Songs. Apparently, Alice's too because I saw a flicker of excitement come into her eyes.
We both nodded our heads to the beat, then sang when the words started.
She lives in a fairytale
Somewhere too far for us find
Forgotten the taste and smell of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure
The lens I told her
The angles are all wrong
Now she ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
So, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well, make sure to build your house
Brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
So, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Whoa
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true you can see it with your eyes
Oh even in the dark
And that's where I want to be
Yeah
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da da ba da
Ba da ba ba da da ba da
Ba da ba ba da da ba da
Ba da ba ba da da ba da
Ba da ba ba da da ba da
When the song was over Alice and I were exhausted. For some reason singing songs makes us really tired. We both plopped down on the couch, and probably just sat there for about five minutes breathing heavily.
I looked up at Puck to find him staring at us like we were freaks. Hey, he's the one with the poor dancing skills. He sighed as he shook his head, saying something like 'You guys are so weird' or something like that. I stuck my tongue out at him, then heaved myself of the couch; Alice following my example.
Puck's POV
Alice and Sabrina are so weird. How did they even know that song? And Miley Cyrus does not suck! Well... actually she sort of does, but whatever, she's hot. I shook my head at Alice and Sabrina's singing (even though they were amazing), and whispered more to myself, "You guys are such freaks."
Sabrina lifted herself off the couch and stuck her tongue out at me. Alice stood up next to Sabrina, then suddenly got really excited.
"Oh!" Alice exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. "I forgot to tell you guys that there is going to be a thunderstorm tonight!" I nodded slowly, slightly confused why she was telling us this. I turned my gaze towards Sabrina hoping for some answer. When my eyes settled on her, I realized she was very pale and she looked scared for some reason. She noticed me staring, and the fear on her face quickly switched to an angry scowl. I raised my eyebrows questioningly, but Sabrina just shook her head, and turned back to Alice.
"So why did you tell us this?" She asked angrily, crossing her hands over her chest. Alice looked a little shocked at Sabrina's sudden anger but shook it off easily.
"Because I love thunderstorms!" Alice stated, twirling around in a small circle. "They're so beautiful." She sighed in wonder, and her eyes started to glaze over as she retreated into her own world.
"Alice?" I asked, waving my hand in front of her face. When that didn't work I snapped my fingers right in her face instead. Still didn't work. Sabrina just rolled her eyes at my poor attempts to get Alice's attention.
"I'd like to see you try," I retorted. Sabrina smirked, and tried to stifle a giggle.
"Okay, Puck. How 'bout this?" Sabrina started. "If I manage to get Alice's attention you give me ten bucks. If I don't-"
"You get to be my slave for the day," I happily interrupted. Sabrina grimaced but nodded.
"Okay," She said. "I don't think that's a fair trade, though. So instead of ten dollars you give me twenty if I win."
I sighed in frustration as I nodded. What? I just wanted to watch her lose. "Okay you may began to try... NOW!" I yelled, and waved my hand in the air at the 'now'.
Sabrina smirked, and slowly walked over to the day dreaming Alice. Sabrina tapped her chin for a while, then got a mischievous look on her beautiful face. Wait, pretend I didn't say that. Sabrina dipped her head next to Alice's ear.
"YO, ALICE!" Sabrina screamed, as loud as possible, right in Alice's ear. Alice's eyes immediately focused, and she jumped about twenty feet in the air, screaming all the way. When she came back down she looked extremely freaked out.
"What the crap was that for, Sabrina?" Alice yelled angrily, glaring daggers at Sabrina.
"Oh nothing much," Sabrina replied simply. "Pay up, Puck." She held out her hand, and I sighed as I slapped a twenty dollar bill into it.
"Anyone care to explain?" Alice asked lightly. Sabrina explained the bet to her, and when she was done Alice burst out laughing. I just stand there with my mouth in a wide 'o' while Alice laughed her heart out.
"Hey, Alice? Can I ask you a question?" Sabrina wondered. When Alice finally stopped laughing, she carefully stood up, and nodded towards Sabrina. "Okay," Sabrina continued. "I was wondering why you're acting more like... um... more like... er... I don't know..."
"Us?" I finished Sabrina's question, Sabrina nodded her head in agreement.
"Omigosh! I know!" Alice began her rant. "It's horrible! When I first got here I was all sweet and polite, but now, I mean I'm still sweet and sort of polite, but not as much, and it's horrible! You guys like rubbed off on me! And ugh!" Alice stomped her foot at the end in frustration.
"Gee, thanks, Alice. That makes us feel great," I said. She sent an apologetic smile towards me, but then turned her head back to Sabrina. Alice tilted her head like a confused dog, then raised an eyebrow towards Sabrina. Sabrina jerked her head towards me, then nodded in unison with Alice.
"Hey, Puck?" Alice began. "Could you leave us alone please?" I was about to say no way, but what came out was totally different.
"Sure. You guys take all the time you need." I couldn't help it saying that, it was like someone had taken over my mind and made me say it. Alice, of course. I glared at her as best as possible, but I'm guessing that it wasn't that good because all she did was smile angelically at me. "Fine," I grumbled as I shuffled into the kitchen.
Alice's POV
I smiled in triumph. Ha ha ha! I win! Puck loses! Ha ha ha ha ha! I'm an evil genius! Mwahahaha! Sorry, that was off topic.
I whirled around to face Sabrina, then braced myself for her question.
"Alice, can I ask you something?" Sabrina whispered. I nodded then she continued. "You know when the night when you and Puck saved me, and then you collapsed when we got home?" I stayed silent, but nodded my head anyways. "Well, after you collapsed you started screaming. Only, it wasn't a normal scream. It, like, made me feel pain when you screamed too. How come? And why were you screaming?"
I winced as memories flooded into my brain. I tried to push them back but it was no use, they just became more and more life like. I took a deep breath as I tried to clear my mind. I knew this was coming sooner or later, and I was prepared for this, but I still don't think I'm ready to tell anyone yet.
"The scream, is called the Call of the Pained. When my kind screams like that it means they're hurting. Not literally, but mentally. The scream, though, is only triggered by a mental thing that is almost tearing the fairy apart." I paused, and lifted my head to look at Sabrina.
"What happened to you?" She breathed.
"I- I- I can't tell you." I swerved my head away to hide the tears that began to prick my eyes. Sabrina nodded understandingly.
"I understand completely," She said. She stood up, gave me a small smile, then walked away to find Puck.
~~LATER AT NIGHT~~
Sabrina's POV
BOOM!
A streak of lightening race to the ground, and was soon followed by a deafening clap of thunder. I jumped about twenty feet in the air, and held back the urge to scream like a scared little girl. My eyes flickered around the room wildly, searching for some way to get away from the thunderstorm.
BOOM!
Another bolt of lightening crashed down to the earth, and I ran, as quickly as, possible to Alice in fear. I tilted my head down to find Alice still fast asleep.
"Alice?" I asked hesitatingly. No answer. "Alice?" Still no answer. I shook her shoulder a tiny bit, but nothing happened. My breath left my lungs in a puff, as I gave up waking Alice up. I know, I tried so hard, right?
I thought of going back to bed, when a giant flash of lightening whizzed to the ground. I jumped away from the window, and raced back to the sleeping Alice. I tried to wake her up again, but sadly nothing happened. I fell down to the floor in a slump of fear, and quivered when another crash of thunder erupted through the house.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the door open just a crack. Hmm... maybe... just maybe. I heaved myself off of the ground, and lumbered over to the door. When I reached it, I creaked it open completely, then slid into the hallway.
I paused when I came to Puck's door, but took a deep breath, and proceeded. As I wandered through Puck's room, I realized that the sky was dark and threatening in here too. Oh joy. After a few more minutes of wandering, I came across the trampoline where I was sure Puck would be sleeping. I climbed onto it, and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Puck curled into a tiny ball, sleeping soundly.
I trampled over to him, and nearly fell on top of him when I was there. I nudged him gently with my foot to try to wake him. He stirred a tiny bit, so I kicked him in the ribs.
"Ow!" Puck yelped, gripping his side. He looked up to find me gazing down at him. "What was that for, Sabrina?" He asked.
"I needed to wake you up." I shrugged my shoulders, and plopped myself down.
"You couldn't have used a less painful way to do it?" Puck asked, sucking in a breath when I nudged his ribs with the heel of my foot.
"Nope," I said simply.
"Okay, why are you here?" He wondered, his face turning serious.
"I couldn't sleep," I replied simply. Understanding crossed his face as I stared at the trampoline ground.
"Why didn't you go to Alice?" He asked softly, rubbing small circles in my back.
"She wouldn't wake up." Tears started to prick my eyes, but I held them back strongly.
"It's okay to cry," Puck stated, but I just shook my head. "Please cry. You need to cry." I shook my head again, but the tears had already started flowing. Puck wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me carefully into his lap. I curled up into his chest, and tightly gripped his shirt like if I didn't I would shatter into pieces.
I cried for what seemed like hours on end, and the whole time Puck stayed silent, and just held me close because he knew I needed it. When the tears stopped coming, I sniffled, and slowly pulled away from Puck. I looked up at him, trying to ignore that fact that I had just completely soaked his shirt.
"Go to sleep," Puck whispered in my ear. I shivered as I shook my head. "You're tired, go to sleep. Nothing will happen to you. I promise." I shook my head again, but my cover was broken by a huge yawn that escaped my lips.
"Fine," I said reluctantly, glaring at him. I curled up into his chest, and right when I did my eyes fluttered shut, and I was absorbed in darkness.
Puck's POV
I looked down softly at Sabrina as her eyes slipped shut, and her breathing slowed to a calm, even pace, telling me she was asleep. I brushed her silky, golden hair out of her face, and softly pecked her on the forehead, before I settled down in the trampoline.
I slowly laid down; Sabrina coming with me. I sighed as I shut my eyes so I could at least try to fall asleep and block out the distant thunder at the same time. I stroked Sabrina's back in small circles to (even though she was sleeping) keep her relaxed. I smiled softly when she let out a sigh of happiness, and huddled closer to me. Man, I love this girl, I thought right before I was swallowed by darkness.
