Author's Note: Hi everyone, so before I begin this story, I would like to say a few things.
Firstly, yes I know I am guilty of not completing my Tiger's Curse stories. (Side note; Colleen Houck's book Reawakened was just...no words can describe it. Can't wait for the next book!) The reason being is because I did not know how to continue. The stories are on an indefinite hiatus until further notice.
Secondly, I have had this story on my mind for the longest of time. I've have also been working on it for for a while and I've been dying to post it to see how people will react to it.
Third, I've changed. My writing style has changed a bit and I've grown more as person. How this pertains to the story, well, the chapters will be about 5,000 words, and I've used I suppose you could say "advanced" words. (Must practice for the SATs) This also might cause me to rewrite all my other stories. They will be the same, just better in my opinion.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has supported my stories ,and for future readers who will enjoy this story. I apologize again for the hiatus, but I promise I will finish my stories! I just have so much that I want to write!
Disclaimer: I do not own The Twilight Saga, Once Upon a Time, and The Wolf Among Us.
Oops! This is the last thing. Promise! ENJOY!
Prologue ( A/N Bella's fairytale is made up by me)
Once upon a time in an unknown land, there lived a civilization in peace and discord. Discord because there were always villains terrorizing the good people, and peace because it was known for heroes to always prevail. Kings and queens ruled over their kingdoms and had peace with the neighboring ones. The prince and princesses had happy endings. The commoners would also have a fortunate tale at times, while villains would be put in their place. It had always been known that way until one day that changed. These stories that were just known as tales from a book became actual people living in the mundane world all because of a turn of unfortunate events.
An evil queen's curse transported them all into a land of exile, or at least what it seemed to be. They found themselves in the world of mundies where they had to learn to adapt. Eventually, they discovered they came from stories and knew they could not reveal their secret. What they also came to discover was that they were immortal and frozen in time with their magic still intact. Those who were in the forms of animals or mystical beings used glamours to look like humans. Apart from their magic still in existence, those who did not practice an advanced form of magic realized they had heightened senses, supernatural speed, strength, and gift.
Those who were on the side of good banded together to form a small society always moving together wherever they went for many years. Others tended to wander off on their own but always kept in touch. The time of their exact arrival is unknown although it is known to have a been around the early 15th century. As time passed they learned to adapt and live in harmony for the most part. They mostly remained together because there were still villains who wanted to continue to terrorize them. On occasion they would strike terror to the mundies but their fear of being caught was stronger, so, it was rare.
Sometimes trouble would brew that would cause everyone to band together. It would keep them together, but not for long. How long this moving and arguing would continue for, no one knew. Everyone wanted their happy ending. Some heroes who had their happy ending feared they had lost theirs. The villains would stop at nothing if they knew how to retrieve theirs. It was unclear to them why this happened to them or what could have caused this imbalance for them to be transported into such a world. They could not speak a word of this to anybody for risk of exposure. As it was, all their stories were known so they had to be careful who they were speaking to.
There are a handful of stories that are not in your typical children's storybook. There is one in particular titled The Three Fold Rift. It was one of the first stories ever created, therefore the author was still experimenting with his pen. The reason for it not being as known as other stories is because of its ending. It reads,
"... And all that was left of this once happy family was an unsettled heart, an ignorant mind, a vengeful hand, and buried bones. If there had not been such a schism in this household, perhaps their fate would have been less terrible. The rift certainly did shy the remaining family members away from death, yet only to have them witness the last breath of their loved ones. Terrible as it was, they will never forget why these events occurred, and that false hope that they have is better than no hope at all at regaining what they could salvage of the what remains in their lives.
The End"
The characters of this book still roam this world today. Because of their existence a series of chain reactions will occur that will change the way fairytales are portrayed. They are not aware. Only fate will reach out when it is time, and that time starts with the beginning of a new chapter.
