"Our kingdom was once beautiful, but now the towers are everywhere. They say that Queen Rapunzel has lost her mind--and I believe them. Before, I might have felt sorry for her, but now I just fear her. I fear the sound of her soldiers pounding at the door, demanding that I be taken away. I fear the towers."

Years after the original tale of Rapunzel took place, the kingdom--left to the grief-stricken Queen after her husband's death--is falling apart. People live in constant fear of the many terrible towers across the land, built by her Majesty's decree to imprison any who dare question her. Bird's nothing but a girl from the north, but when someone she cares about is taken by the mad Queen's soldiers, she'll stop at nothing to save them. With nothing but her friends, a sled, and a mind full of songs, she sets out to get rid of the towers, once and for all.

DISCLAIMER: this is a retelling of the *ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE* by the Brothers Grimm and has no connection to Disney's version whatsoever.

DISCLAIMER PART II: I wrote this book when I was 15 and am still in the middle of huge revisions that I haven't posted here yet! Please feel free to read, but keep in mind this is a work in progress. :)All Rights Reserved

There's No Good by Gabrielle0841

••• In a world of heroes there will always be a villain. Because wherever there's a hero around, there will be a villain lurking in the shadows. Because that's common sense right? For every hero, there's a villain. Hero's wouldn't be needed if there weren't bad guys for them to stop. So every story has a villain. This story is about a villain. But what if the villain is actually not so evil at all. What if she's just a girl, being punished not because of what she did. But for what her father has. Is that fair? You don't get to pick your parents. But you do get to pick and decide how you, yourself will act. This is a story about a girl. Maybe evil, maybe good. But under all the labels thrown at her, she's just a girl. Forced into a life she didn't want. Forced to go to school with people who look down on her. Forced by her father to follow a plan. A plan to make the world's most loved boy, the prince, to fall in love with her. All so that her father can get what he wants. But her father didn't think of one slight flaw. The fact that his daughter, is just a girl. And even if he's a prince, he's just a boy. And could it be more obvious? Naturally, one is bound to fall in love. It's all fun and games until the wrong person falls in love. Love fucks everything up. •••

Once Upon a Time: EDITING by NylaraYtri

What if Cinderella were a mechanic? What if Snow-White were ugly? What if Rapunzel ran away on her own and became a magician? What if The Little Mermaid were originally human? This book contains a collection of twisted fairytales. So twisted are they that they almost reverse the original telling. No more waiting for Prince Charming! No sir, these princesses take their fates into their sensible and capable hands. Enjoy! ~ Nylara Note: The plot ideas are mine but some of the fairytales are loosely based on ones I've read but have not been entirely satisfied by or just wanted to revisit. Mechanica is based on the book "Mechanica", Blanche on "Mirror Mirror" the movie, Rebbecca is mine, Sapphire is based on the Ingo Series by Helen Dunmore and Freya is loosely based on "The Woodcutter's Daughter" and "East of Sun, West of Moon". Hope you enjoy!!! Cover by: @Paintfairy Previous Cover by: @mahana258 DISCLAIMER: I wrote this a long time ago so I cannot vouch for the quality of writing though I would venture to say it is much better than average Wattpad content. I am currently working on rewriting the stories so that they are better quality.

The Bird Witch (Dark Fairy Tale Queens - Book 5) by AnitaValle

PLEASE READ FIRST SO YOU DON'T SEE SPOILERS!!! This is a continuation of the Dark Fairy Tale Queens book series. Picking up after the events of 'Bad Beauty', the fairytale characters - Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Beauty - must contend with the new threat of the Bird Witch. Based on the obscure fairytale 'Jorinda and Jorindel', this serial delves deeper into old characters, while bringing in some new ones. Naturally this contains spoilers from the book series. To start from the beginning, look up Sinful Cinderella on Wattpad. This story is being told in serialized format. What this means is that instead of chapters, I will be posting EPISODES, kind of like a TV show. Each episode will be its own self-contained story, but there will still be a forward-moving plot that connects them. Serial episodes typically run longer than book chapters - covering about 10-15 pages if it were printed. Each episode will be told from the viewpoint of one character, and that will rotate. So we'll have episodes about many characters beyond the original four. Which characters? Wait and see! Please "follow" me on Wattpad so you can part of my test audience as new episodes come out. Episodes will be posted here before published on Amazon. Please give me feedback and comments (you are all usually awesome at this!) so I can see how you are liking the serial and what you are hoping for. All the best! -Anita Valle

Every Day in May (grand prize winner) ✔ by amberkbryant

***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!
