Here's the prologue. Pretend that Mina lives in the Grimm Mansion already, even though Charlie isn't kidnapped. Remember, this is after Fairest, before Fable. Sorry it's so short. Just a sneak peak into the story. Also, thanks for the reviews! I didn't think I'd get any on my A/N.

Reviews:

LoveBooks4EverFantasy: Sorry, girl. =( Here's a bit of my incredible work! Well, it isn't the first chapter, but it's a prologue... that counts, right?

5 is my lucky number: Thank you. I actually can't believe no one's done this yet!

Guest: Thanks. =)


Narrator


Mina Grimm hummed softly to a song, balancing a basket of vintage clothes on her hip. When she first discovered it, she expected it to reek of mothballs, but to her relief, it was more like cinnamon and honey. Climbing the spiraling staircase to her room, the girl almost tripped and fell twice, but luckily, she caught myself. Her lessons with Jared were paying off, in a way.

Jared. Her thoughts suddenly shifted to the tanned, dark-haired boy. He sure was confusing.

After all, how many people could manage to be sarcastic, sulky and almost friendly at the same time? Not many, but she guessed that fae boy was one exception. Gently laying the wooden basket on the bed, her mind was thinking thoughtfully of the boy who was her almost-friend. Actually, he seemed more like a friend ever since that Snow White and Sleeping Beauty tale. He was more gentle and caring.

"I wonder..." she thought out loud.

Mina absently folded the clothes, letting her mind roam over all that she knew about him. His friend seemed to be Ever, because Mina could tell there was a link between them. An event that brought the two together - but she wasn't exactly sure how Ever and Jared were connected. Were they friends? Acquaintances? Did they just know each other because they both seemed to be fae? Maybe there was more to those two than she thought.

Maybe- *thump*

Mina dropped the vintage gown in her hands and turned around, startled. "What was that?"

She slowly stepped forward, a panicked expression on her face, putting her foot down, when she slipped and unceremoniously fell to the floor. "Ow! What the-" Mina sat up, nursing her foot that tripped over something. Mina scanned the floor to see what she tripped on, believing it to be one of Charlie's Avenger action-figures or something, when she saw not a toy, but a book.

And not just any book. This one had her face on it.

"Jared," she whispered, panic beating in her heart.
