“Even a pawn can take down a queen.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fairest
“The dragon flew up and settled in the crook of Mina’s hood, and quickly became invisible again.“I don’t trust that thing,” Jared shot back.“Relax, I find him quite cute. Isn’t that right, Ander?” She held up a finger and felt the invisible dragon rub its face against her.“Great, you’ve named it, now you’re gonna want to keep it. But I’m telling you that thing better be house-trained.” He turned to the bookshelf and began to pull open the book to open the hidden exit door.Mina felt Ander leave her shoulder but didn’t let Jared know he was missing. She saw Constance’s teacup float mysteriously above Jared’s head. She clapped her hand over her mouth to contain the laughter. A second later the cup turned over, spilling lukewarm tea on Jared’s unsuspecting head.“Oh, it better not have just peed on me!” he screamed.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
“Today , I saved Brody Carmicheal's life!” ― Chanda Hahn, UnEnchanted
“Ladies first"Mina Hesitated. "Uh, age before beauty.""Grimms never win.""Prince before pauper." "Oh, fine. Just don't say chivalry is dead. 'Cause you had your chance.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
“Not all Fairy Tales have happily ever afters. Some just have afters.” ― Chanda Hahn, UnEnchanted
“Jared's gray eyes bore into hers. His face filled with emotion, and his eyes looked to be just as tear-filled. "Do you really not know the reason why I came? I came back for you. I'll always come back for you.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
“I'm sorry that you are hurting. It’s because of me that you are even here in the first place. I offered to get those passes so I could get to know you. There is something about you that feels so comforting and familiar, and I’m not sure why.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fairest
“I'm sorry if I have the emotional stability of a teeter-totter right now, but that's better than you, who has the emotional maturity of a rock.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fairest
“Mina held her breath as Jared's eyes flickered between them, the longest pause in the history of long pauses.” ― Chanda Hahn, UnEnchanted
“Sometimes love is worth fighting for. And if you don’t fight for it, then it slips through your fingers.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
“Mina, trust me, it's better if we don't discuss this anymore. Words have power and it makes it that much easier for the Story to find you.” ― Chanda Hahn, UnEnchanted
“Mina stopped and stared at Jared in disbelief. “If you knew that already, why in the world did you have me climb the tree?” Jared looked at her, his eyes widening in innocence. “I didn’t ask you to climb the tree. I knew which way we were heading. I just asked you if you liked to climb trees in an attempt to start a conversation. You were the one who wanted to try to climb the stupid tree.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fairest
“So I heard on the news that the Tard died and your house burnt down. I bet secretly you're relieved you don't have to live with him anymore in that dump."The whole commotion in the hallway immediately stopped, as if her words had been spoken over the intercom. It became so quiet that you could hear Mina's and Nan's sharp intakes of breath. Mina wasn't prone to violence and was about to think of something mean to say back to Savannah, but she didn't have the chance to, because Nan Taylor, perky, happy-go-lucky Nan Taylor, pulled back her fist and punched Savannah in the face. Savannah wasn't prepared, and fell to the floor. Nan stood over her shocked face and yelled, "No way was he handicapped, or different. He was the most special, coolest and smartest kid ever. And the world is a much sadder place because he's not here. And don't you ever, EVER, insult him again!" Nan shook with anger.The hall was full of students and teachers, and one by one they started to clap.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
“I want to be more.” ― Chanda Hahn, UnEnchanted
“A few moments of silence passed, and Mina was almost asleep when she heard Jared speaking out loud in a droning voice. “I’m keeping watch, and I see the river. I see the moon rise over the trees. I see that the forest looks really, really creepy right now. I bet you there is some sort of killer vampire turtle slowly crawling toward us out of the woods. Yep, I can almost hear its little turtle-y steps inching closer to us.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fairest
“A thousand sweet words can never disguise the rattle of a viper about to strike.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
“She held up the arrow again and threatened the bird. "You do anything, ignite a single spark, and I'm having Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner.” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
“you really not know the reason why I came? I came back for you. I’ll always come back for you.” He pressed his forehead to hers. His nearness tickled her senses, and she couldn’t help but hold him even tighter. Jared gently tipped Mina’s chin up, and he leaned down to press his lips to hers in a soft kiss that quickly turned into desire. So many pent-up emotions and unsaid words spilled out between them in a kiss to top all kisses. Never before had she lost all sense of time and place as her lips sought after those of her protector, her friend and her Fae prince. All thoughts of Brody disappeared as her world encompassed Jared and Jared only. He pulled away, and he was visibly shaking from the intensity of their kiss. “Mina, I want you to know that I’ve felt alone for a very long time. I was incomplete, and nothing could fill that void. Until I met you. I’ve known for a long time, but I wasn’t sure how you felt about me. At times I thought you hated me, but I wanted to tell you that I, uh, Mina, I lo—aaaarrgh!” ― Chanda Hahn, Fable
