Prologue
Once upon a time, there was a maiden trapped in a tower. All her life she wondered why, and pined for her handsome prince to rescue her. When he came, she thought that she was free. But, in fact, the maiden was disillusioned, and her so called freedom was actually still the tower, for she was still confined. The maiden did not realize this, and decided that the only thing better than this was if the prince took her away to his castle and made her a princess where she would live forever. She begged the prince, but he refused adamantly, stating that once she was a princess she would regret the simple life the tower held for her, as life as a princess was tiring and dangerous, and she would never be able to get out of it. The maiden did not believe the prince, and continued to beg. One day, the prince tired of the maiden's begging. He realized that she was only a poor maiden, thus beneath him, and all his love for her drained away. He fell silent whenever she spoke to him, and began to avoid her. Soon, he was unable to even sense her presence, so he left her and told her that he no longer wanted her, that he no longer loved her. It was only then that the maiden discovered that she was still in the tower. She also discovered the way out, into freedom, and realized that the prince was what had been keeping her in the tower all along.
So that's what I did.
I left the tower that my so-called prince had been trapping me in. There was no way I would ever find myself, discover who I really was, when that stupid so-called prince was keeping me in my own personal tower. And there was no way I would ever become a queen if I still yearned to be his princess.
I hope that prince turns into a frog. I hope a plague falls on his 'royal' family.
'Cause there are no such things as fairytales.
The handsome prince never came back, and the maiden grew bored and went off. She didn't live 'happily ever after', as most fairytales conclude. Nobody lives ever after, except stupid vampire princes. If any fairytale was true, then it would be the one above. Never trust your so called handsome prince, because he may turn out to be the dragon that needs slaying, the ogre who dreams of devouring you, the serpent that could crush you. If fairytale princesses had any sense, they would have married a farmer from a nearby village and forgotten the wretched prince with his empty promises.
Now, substitute the maiden for a (nearly) ordinary girl, the tower for a subconsciously frozen state of mind, the kind farmer from a nearby village with an auto-mechanic and the prince with a no good, two-faced vampire and you have my story.
It's no fairytale, but it's life. And now I'm going to tell you all about it.
Did you like it? Hopefully I can get the next chapter up soon. I have had this Idea for AGES! No, it's NOT a typical Edward-leaves-Bella-who-marries-Jacob type of fic! It's set during new moon, when Edward leaves, but Bella changes (her personality, not into a vampire.). She doesn't marry or fall for Jake, either. She is her own self, but really resents Edward. This might be quite a long fic.
