The Fairy Letters: A FROST Series(TM) Novel (13 page)

Shasta’s Letter 2

Darling Rodney,

It's
all gone horribly wrong here! Everything's mixed up and topsy turvy and I
swear, Rodney, I don't know what to think. Breena's gone and gotten engaged to
that Wolf Logan and now Kian's gone so completely mad about her that we've had
to lock him up in the dungeon in case his magic starts going haywire and
striking down servants. Already we've got one servant girl that fell down the
stairs after he accidentally teleported an enormous silver vase onto her – and
had to spend a whole day with the alchemist getting her wounds healed! The
Peace Treaty's being signed in ten days' time, and Mother doesn't know what
we'll do if we haven't calmed Kian down by then. She says – with this look in
her eyes that makes me feel like the biggest disappointment in the world – that
if Kian can't regain control over his magic, I'll have to rule!

I
don't know what to think. All my life, I dreamed of being Queen, of my mother
choosing me over Kian to hold the snowflake pendant and wear the crown of the
Winter Court, of protecting Feyland the way brave Queen Tamara did! And now
that the option is before me, all I want to do is run away from this horrible
place, this horrible Court, and be with you! When I was little, I thought I'd
be the best, bravest fairy ever – but now I don't want to be a fairy at all! I
don't want to be tied down, forced into these crazy wars and ridiculous
obligations, just because I was born a Princess and a woman and so I'm not
allowed to cook or fall in love or do anything at all except stand in Kian's
shadow!

No, I
won't let this happen. I've spent my whole life doing what my mother wanted,
letting Kian's choices dictate my own. Not this time. Once the Peace Treaty is
signed, I'm going to run away with you. We'll go beyond the Crystal River – not
to Gregory this time but to Paris, like we always dreamed about! We'll cook coq
au vin and chicken cordon bleu and start our own restaurant together – our way.
We won't even have to use magic (except to fix all the microwaves I break) –
we'll just live our own lives, at last. Free of other people. Free of
interference. Who would have thought it – the only way to stop this world from
clipping my wings is to cut them off altogether?

I
know they'll miss us – and we'll miss them. Your sister Rose will be
scandalized, no doubt – and as much as I complain about him, it pains me to
think I'll never see Kian again. He is my big brother, after all, and it's not
his fault Mother likes him best. I'll even miss Mother. One day she'll realize
what I did – and she won't be angry any longer. She'll be proud – proud that a
daughter of hers grew up to be as strong and stubborn as she is!

But
not for a while yet.

Listen,
Rodney – I've hatched a plan. A plan that will be able to cause enough of a
distraction to let me slip away unnoticed, so I can escape to the Land Beyond
the Crystal River properly! It'll be a long journey – Mother's boarded up all
of Kian's paintings so I can't get there from the castle – but it'll be worth
it.

The
only thing is, for my plan to work, I'll need to do some pretty risky things. I
know mother told me that pixies aren't to be trusted, but these are desperate
times, Rodney. I've got the perfect plan for us to be together.

And I
only need one pixie to pull it off...
