Fairytales

I’m new to this whole “making my writing public” thing so I hope that I’m getting it right.

This may become part of a WIP, I really do want to expand upon it. If anyone as any tips on how to post WIPs your advice is much appreciated... seriously I have no clue how to go about that, please help.

Well, anyway, let’s get on with the story!

VERY QUICK SUMMARY: A girl learns what love really is.

TW: abuse

She had outgrown fairytales a long time ago.

She stopped beliecing in them wheb she saw what love really did. When she saw how it tore the world apart.

She used to lie awake at night dreaming of her prince charming. She had her happily ever after mapped out. She believed that it would comd true.

Soon she would lie awake at night listening to a war downstairs. Never sleeping, always afraid.

Eventually she fell asleep. In a new world, in a new town, in a new house, in a room. Her world had been split in two by a lovd that had phased out of existence.

It was only when he showed up that she started to believe again. He made her believe that maybe, just maybe, love was capable of finding her.

She had spent her whole life running from love. She had spent so long afraid of love that she didn’t know what it really was. And he took it upon himself to teach her. He made her believe in his kind of love.

His kind of love was bruises in the shape of fingerprints and bright red handprints covering her body. His kind of love was telling her that he was all she would ever have and “don’t you dare walk out that door.” He kept her there by keeping her afraid.

It was only when she met her Princess Charming that she realized what love really was. She slowly guided her in the right direction. Reminding her of all that she was worth, teaching her the right kind of love, showing her safety.

Her bruises faded and her tinged pink skin returned to a healthy hue. Her mind took its time relearning who she was, relearning the feeling of being safe. Her world was rebuilt by real love.

When she had healed just enough she saw what love truly was. It was simple gestures and kind words. It was what her Princess Charming had given her all along.
