Lying was one of Aurora Wells' strong suits.
When she was just a little girl, she lied about eating the last cookie, hiding the crumbs away from her parents.
Reaching 12 years of life, she started hiding her bad grades from her father, not long after placing a single red rose on her mother's grave.
In her teenage years, she didn't even have to try so hard to hide her boyfriend from her father, since he could barely take care of himself, the grief for his wife almost drowning him. So, he drowned his thoughts in alcohol, instead.
And after the death of her boyfriend, she lied to herself that she was going to be fine, signing herself up for the army.
Fake it till you make it, they say.
She just never considered going so far that she has to place her life in the hands of a man, who looked like the Grim Reaper himself, lying to herself that she was okay with that, denying any feelings that dared to flourish inside her cold heart.

They have lightning in their souls. Thunder in their hearts.
And chaos in their bones.❞
