As the crown princess, Gabrielle's life was never meant to be easy, yet the death of her father and an assassination attempt were far from what she expected. Now, forced to leave the only life she had ever know, she runs away with the help of Cedric, her closest friend and a dragon. However, her journey has just begun and there is much more blood and tears to be spilled. ~A NOT SO HAPPY EVER AFTER~ "And they lived happily ever after..." Gabrielle finished with a smile and set the book down. She loved happy endings, it made her feel so hopeful of her own life and how it would turn for the better. Her friend, on the other hand, didn't seem to share her opinions. "Do all these books have to finish the same way?" Cedric complained, leaning his head on the backrest of his armchair in exasperation. "It's starting to get old." "Well, what would you like? The princess to remain asleep? The beast to kill the old man? The thieves to escape?" she asked him curiously. She had never found happy endings to be boring, only, well... happy. "I mean, it would be nice for the dragon to win for once," he smirked mischievously, revealing one of his elongated fangs. His golden eyes flashed with magic for a second and a tiny tendril of smoke made its way from between his lips.
