I know I know I'm sorry! I don't update as frequently and that's a bummer, but having to juggle between school, home, social life and fanfiction is kinda hard. Also, I'm hooked up on Brooklyn Nine Nine, so watching episodes at night kinda uses up fanfic writing time. Sorry! :(
I promise to make it up to you guys. This chapter's gonna take a few twists...
I also think it's time to include another one of these guys down here.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters except for the ones I made up. The storyline is also only half mine. Some parts are based on the book. :)
Puck was not at school the nest day. Nor the day after that. When he didn't come to school for the whole week, Sabrina started to get worried. Puck had seemed perfectly fine the last time she saw him. He was perfectly healthy, and she didn't think someone could done with something serious in New York. It just wasn't normal.
Sabrina had walked past his house every day, and she couldn't help but think that it looked sort of... abandoned. There was no car in the driveway, and the yard looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
Not wanted to seem like a clingy girlfriend, Sabrina had laid off checking up on Puck, unsure whether or not her concern would be appreciated. After all, Puck had told her that his parents had no idea of their relationship, and e intended to keep it that way.
So on Saturday morning Sabrina gathered up the courage to knock on his front door. She waited. And waited. And waited. When no one answered for a whole twenty minutes, she gave up and walked back home. She tried texting Puck along the way, but her messages remained unseen, as had all the other ones she had sent since Monday.
When she reached home, it was fair to say that Sabrina was infuriated. How could he do this to her? She was his girlfriend, and he was meant to tell her what was going on. He should have been able to trust her, not completely shut her out.
Sabrina marched in and sat at the dinner table, her arms crossed over her chest. Veronica was helping Granny out with the cooking, and she looked over as her older daughter sat down. She smiled nervously, fully prepared for the hormonal teenage outburst concerning boys.
"Is everything alright, honey?"
Sabrina shot her mother an exasperated look, then threw her hands up in the air.
"He does't call me, doesn't text me, doesn't even give a damn about what I might be feeling right now. What if he's in danger? What if something happened to him? Doesn't this all seem a little bit suspicious to you? His home is deserted, he doesn't come to school, and on top of all that, he doesn't even answer his freaking phone! Wouldn't you be acting like this if that sort of thing happened to Dad?"
Veronica nodded, smiling reassuringly. "It's okay, honey. I'm sure he's just having some problems right now. He'll call you when he's ready."
This wasn't entirely true, but it wasn't entirely false either. Veronica knew exactly why all this was happening, but she would rather her daughter find out herself. It would be better that way.
Sabrina calmed down slightly and ran a hand over her face. "That's all well and good, but if he has any problems, he should tell me, not leave me worrying all week."
Veronica sat down beside her daughter, as did Granny Relda. Henry was out shopping, and Basil and Red were upstairs playing. Daphne was in the backyard, practicing with magic wands.
Granny spooned some purple soup into Sabrina's bowl. Veroinca handed her some yellow and blue specked bread and started to eat. After a few moments, she put her bread down and turned to Sabrina. Sabrina, sensing she had something important to say, carefully pushed her untouched bowl away and sat back in her chair.
"Sabrina, we have an important meeting we need you to attend." Veronica said. Sabrina looked at her mother, surprised. She never got to investigate Everafter crimes by herself. Daphne or Basil always accompanied her wherever she went.
"Alone?" she asked. Veronica nodded.
"Yes honey, alone. We think it would be best if you experienced this yourself. We need you to go to Faerie. I know you've never heard of it, but it's the knigdom of Fae. King Oberon and Queen Titania will be there, as will another important person who doesn't know you'll be in the kingdom. Make sure to head straight to the King and Queen, as our mystery person will always be with them. When you reach Faerie, a man named Cobweb will meet you there. He will take you to meet them."
Sabrina sat back, taking this all in. She was meant to go to some place she had never heard of, meet some royal people she had never met, and then encounter some random person. What was going on?
But no matter how hard she tried, Veronica and Granny would not give her any more information, other than how to get to Faerie. They told her she would be leaving straight away, and that she needed to hurry.
And so Sabrina was on her way to Faerie, and was about to get the shock of her life.
... (A/N- I'm gonna tweak it here a little bit, as I have not read the third and forth books, only parts of it from the internet. Soz.)
Faerie was beautiful. Hidden inside a secret realm in Central Park, which could only be opened when one told a certain statue a knock knock joke, it was by far the most amazing thing Sabrina had ever seen.
Rows and rows of trees line the pathway, and hidden in among the trees were random little houses, small but grand. They reminded Sabrina of little mushroom huts. In the distance, she could see a magnificent castle, made of majestic purples and golds. There were no cars, or even horses and carriages. Instead, everyone flew.
Some hovered over the pathway, close to the ground, their brilliant, different colored wings keeping them aloft. Others flew up high overhead, sipping in and out of the clouds and treetops. Some had blue wings, others green, but most of them were either yellow or white. They were beautiful.
Sabrina was about to take a step forward, when a tall thin man with long, black hair and a dark face walked up to her. He carried a black case in one frail hand. He appeared to be tired, but gave her a grim smile.
"Are you Sabrina Grimm?" he asked, his voice slightly quivering. Sabrina nodded.
"Relda and Veronica Grimm sent me here, to meet the King and Queen.
The man nodded. "I am Cobweb. Please follow me."
Cobweb began walking towards the castle. After a while the pair had reached it, and Sabrina took a moment to stand and stare at the magnificent building. The brick walls were a dark indigo purple color, and the turrets and linings of the towers were a sparkly gold. The doorway was an arch, and it was also painted a deep, rich gold. As Sabrina walked through, she felt the slight tingle that always appeared when she was around magic. Concentrating, she followed Cobweb inside the castle and into a huge throne room.
The room was draped in dark green velvet, and the walls were gold. Four thrones sat on a high platform, but only the larger two were occupied. In one of them sat a tall man, who was, surprisingly, wearing a black suit. He had brown hair that was neatly combed and he looked as of he smelt something rather unpleasant. In the other sat a strikingly pretty brunette. She had bright blue eyes and her expression showed no emotion.
"Your Majesty's, this is Sabrina Grimm. She was sent here by-"
Cobweb was cut off as someone walked into the throne room, slamming the heavy wooden doors open and allowing them to slam shut. Sabrina turned towards the cause of the noise and nearly fell over.
There, marching up to the group, was Puck. Behind him, a much younger boy, around Daphne's age, followed behind, looking frightened. He looked very much like Puck, and Sabrina guessed that this was his mystery brother.
Puck, completely unaware of his girlfriend's presence, marched right up to the King's throne and stood before them. His hands were balled into fists, and Sabrina could see that he was tired. His blonde hair was tousled and he had lines underneath his eyes. His face looked somewhat older, and Sabrina couldn't help but notice how adorable he looked when he was angry.
She could feel that fluttery feeling in her stomach, the one that only appeared around him. She felt her heart pounding,and all of a sudden she felt sick. She couldn't believe that this boy standing three feet away from her was the boy she was in a relationship with. Her boyfriend. And he was in an Everafter place, which could only mean either one of two thing. He was either on of them, or he knew about them.
But why was he here?
Before Sabrina could say something, Puck exploded.
"Mother, Moth is still going on about that blasted wedding! She insists that I allow her to arrange everything, and it's getting on my nerves. Would you please tell her that there is no way in hell I'm going to-"
This time Puck was cut off as the King raised his hand. This gave Sabrina time to process everything. Mother? He was the King and Queen's son? That meant that he was a fairy prince. Oh my god.
"My son, you know perfectly well that the plans cannot be changed. Everything is arranged and set out, and as you can see, we were just about to deal with the last problem." Oberon gestured to Sabrina, and Puck turned to look.
His eyes widened and his mouth hung open. He looked as if someone had just told him that the world was going to end. He stood, frozen, then he ran up to Sabrina and swooped her up in his arms.
"Oh god, Sabrina, you will not believe what's going on," he murmured into her hair. Sabrina wrapped her arms around him and nuzzled his neck, completely oblivious to the dirty looks being received from Puck's parents, and the amused smile being sent their way by Puck's brother.
Sabrina pulled away and looked at Puck. He was grinning, and he looked ten times better than when she first saw him two minutes ago.
"Where have you been?" she asked, grinning as well. Puck set her down n the ground and avoided her gaze.
"It's a long story."
Sabrina opened her mouth to speak, but another loud bang erupted around the room. Puck's head snapped towards the figure currently walking towards them, and he groaned. Sabrina frowned and followed his gaze. The figure was a girl, around their age, with short blonde hair and pointy green eyes. She had extremely thin eyebrows that gave her the impression of someone who was constantly angry. When she saw Puck standing there with his arms around Sabrina, she snarled.
"Puck, you should come and help me with the wedding arrangements. What are you doing here with this peasant?"
Sabrina glared at the girl. "Excuse me?" she snapped, releasing her hold on Puck and turning towards the blonde beauty, her arms crossed over her chest. "Peasant? Who the hell are you, Tinkerbell?"
The fairy steamed and her face turned red. "Tinkerbell? Tinkerbell? I am Moth, you fool! I am, as you humans say, Puck's fiance."
Sabrina took a step back. She felt as if she had just been slapped. Fiance? Puck was getting... married? But he was only seventeen! He couldn't get married!
Sabrina turned to Puck, and she could see that he was embarrassed. He looked at her sheepishly.
"I know you're probably mad, but let me explain. This is Moth, and that guy over there is Mustadseed, my brother. Moth and I are betrothed, and we are getting married in two days. My parents think it's time I find myself a wife. A fae wife. I should have told you sooner, but I'm the crown prince of faerie. You granny and your parents know my parents. Your mum actually helps my family with our problems a lot. I didn't know you would be here."
Puck rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. Sabrina's eyes were wide. Puck was an Everafter. He was a prince. And he was getting married.
Lights flashed behind Sabrina's eyes. Anger exploded in her and she felt like someone had just flipped a switch, and all of a sudden everything made sense.
"You son of a bitch!" She cried, walking up to Puck and punching him in the gut. The fairy boy winced, but didn't react. This made Sabrina even madder.
"You leave me for a whole fucking week and I don't even get a text? No call, no nothing! You expect me to be all okay with you completely ditching me for this... this... girl! And you don't even tell me you're an Everafter? What the hell, Puck?! I thought we had something, but we obviously don't! If you're so busy with your marriage plans, then I guess I'll just leave!"
"Sabrina, it's not like that! Please, you don't even know-"
"Shut up, Puck, just shut up. I don't want to hear it. We're through. I don't give a shit anymore."
Sabrina marched over to the doors, pushing them open and stomping through into the cold air, ignoring Puck's shouts. She could feel the tears threatening to spill, but stubbornly blinked them back.
Sabrina Grimm didn't cry. Especially not over boys.
