This isn't a story of a perfect life with a happily ever after ending.
Prince Charming won't ride up in a fancy carriage and whisk the fair maiden away to a stone castle where they'll be safe forever.
This isnt a tale where you know everyone is safe and out of harm's way.
This isn't a fairy tale.
This isn't a dream life.
This is a real life; a real life in which no happy ending lies.
Where Prince Charming comes too late to save the girl.
Where the so safeguarded castle comes crumbling down at the least opportune moment.
This is a story of hate and crime and misleadings.
This is life.
An amazing life.

Beauty Is Found Within
The Enchantress spoke, "Until you learn to love another and earn their love in return, only then will the spell upon you be broken. If you cannot, you will remain a beast for all eternity. Remember this, only love can thaw a frozen heart." Repulsed by his haggard appearance he fled from the sight of the enchantress and back to the castle. Where he confined himself to ruling from the shadows, just like his father. That was the year where winter did not leave. The winds grew stronger, bringing more and more bitter cold air with them. The kingdom grew weak. There was little food and the people were starting to lose hope. Then, one day a letter arrived at every home in the kingdom: there was to be a ball held at the palace. Everyone was invited, and everyone went. The time spent in the palace was grand. That was until one of the guests went missing. A young woman was escorted from the ballroom and was never seen again. Spring returned for a short time, and then winter crashed back down upon the land. And another ball was held. People were skeptical and did not want to attend, but they had no choice. Yet another guest went missing, another woman. The parties continued annually. Everyone in the kingdom was forced to go and every year, another person was escorted away. Most years it was a woman, one year it was a man. It has been six years since the beginning and winter is coming, after yet another short spring. It is time for another masquerade.

The Hidden Worlds
I was waiting for my dad when my life changed. Not in any way like a fairy tale with magic wands or going through a rabbit hole like kids in the books do. More like I found it and wished my father came back to clean up his own problem instead of risking my life for this. I can only hope that I will make it out alive.

II
The PR release says, "We have this under control," then follows the statement with vaguely scientific-sounding words. No one really buys it. That proves to be a wise decision. Never trust the official statement about something that is far too suspiciously bloody to be simply "under control". When all hell breaks loose, an ex-military war veteran and her soft-spoken bank employee not-really-boyfriend are forced to survive on their own. This is the story the world will neither hear nor tell. This is their story.Complete
