Everyone loves a Fairy Tale,  
At least that's what people say,
But life isn't a fairy tale,  
Everyone is sick of the old cliché.

The Love at First Sight.  The Happily Ever After.  Of course, 'love at first sight' doesn't exist, and 'happily ever after' is something which has to be worked for.

But, Fairy Tale endings are cliché because we miss the point of the story in the first place:  

It is not about the happy ending.  It is about the journey to get there.

THIS is no Red Riding Hood story.

This tale's roots lay in deeper and older places.  When details weren't glossed over, and the happily ever after was not so sure.

The star of this twisted tale:  Deirdre of the Sorrows, the mythological Irish 'Helen of Troy.'

Cinderella forever trapped at the stroke of midnight.

Snow White stuck in the glass box.

Sleeping Beauty never to be kissed.

Perhaps, this time, this lovely fairy tale maiden can escape her fate.

Now please, my reader, enjoy the fairy tale in my cliché.

May contain shoot outs, explosions, stabbing, kicking, biting, foul language, illegal substances (probably not), and alcohol.  Author is not responsible for lose of fluids.

If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.
