People tried talking to Briar but she wasn't herself she spent more time training by herself or with Tinkerbelle who didn't talk too much to her and was really trying to improve he speed and endurance. Sometimes she hung out with Max whom she had became good friend with. One day when she was training so hard.
"Slash. Jab. Protect. Repeat." She muttered while mutilating a dummy. When she was sweaty and thirsty she sat under a tree with no snow under it, she shivered and took a sip of her water. She finally stood up and sprinted a few meters and took off.
…
Sabrina, Daphne, Red, Puck, the Grimm family, Snow and The Lost Boys sat in the Pavilion. Apparently they had all gotten Sammy's urgent message. Sammy Grimm walked in .
"Why must we be here?" Puck whined.
"Too talk about a important day in the Grimm family's history. What is today?" Sammy said in an oddly happy voice.
"January 2nd!" Daphne yelled.
"Bingo and tomorrow is January 3rd. Any guesses."
"I dunno." Sabrina said.
"IT'S BRIAR'S BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!"
"You're just telling us now!" everyone yelled. Sammy grinned.
"Well I think Briar should have a party and presents after all she's been through." Max said. Everyone started to plan.
…
At dinner that night Briar sat next to Max. It became apparent that she had no idea what the date was.
"I don't know Tuesday or Monday." Briar replied when Max asked her what the date was. Daphne smiled.
…
The next day Briar woke up at 10 am. Surprised at having slept so late she stretched and took a shower. It was snowing hard outside and the snow got caught in her eyelashes, she decided not to train that day. She walked down the path toward the pavilion and Max ran up to her and they started to walk together. It was Max's job to make sure she got to the party at 1:00pm. He checked his watch 11:00.
"Hey, you wanna play hide and go seek in the woods?" Briar asked. Even though today she had become 14 she still wanted to play games. Briar went in the woods with Max following her.
"I'll be it." Max said but Briar was already gone.
Briar sat on the tree arm she hummed and hugged her coat close to her. She thought about Max. She certainly liked him perhaps a lot more than she was letting on. Whenever he stood close to her she could feel her face go warm and her heart thud in her chest. What was she thinking briar Grimm didn't think those thoughts.
"Found you." Someone whispered in her ear and Briar Grimm the fearless warrior screamed and fell out of the tree. She would've started to fly but she was falling to close to the ground, she would've broken her wings. The last time she did that she was in a cocoon for a while. So briar Grimm waited for immense pain but instead she fell into someone's arms. Like the sensible she started to kick and squirm then she looked at her "kidnapper".
"Max?"
"Der." He said. Briars heart thudded. Max looked at Briar she was beautiful. He checked his watch twelve. Max felt weird about Briar like his heart would get quick. His palms got sweaty. It wasn't a bad feeling, it felt like he was riding a rollercoaster a thousand miles per hour with no stops. Sure it was definitely a beautiful rollercoaster. He put Briar down and before either of them knew what was happening Briar's lips were on Max's and Max's were on Briar's. They kissed for what could have been five seconds or fifty minutes. Briar let her hand get tangled in Max's brown hair. Max stroked Briar's hair.
When they finally broke apart Briar grinned. She felt like she was about float up in the sky. Max felt scared because he had come to the conclusion he loved Briar Grimm. Max also concluded he would grow up and that is what truly scared him.
"Briar I don't think that …" Max began. Briar's grin fell.
"Save it." She said taking of. Once she was in the air she wiped the tears out of her eyes. She was Briar Grimm the warrior, the fighter, the Trickster Queen. The Betrayed a bitter voice in her head whispered. Briar repeated. She was done being used, lied to, and hurt, but most of all she was done being a Grimm.
