Pretty Little Lies

Prologue

"Our village works different to others, men are expected to grow out their hair and women are expected to cut it short. A minor change that confuses the visitors that wonder why everybody is looking at them like they have just offended their great ancestors. I mean they have, but they never know until it's pointed out to them-" Adellah was cut off by a slam on the table. Detective Adil, getting fed up with Adellah's rambling, was getting to his limit
"We brought you here so we can put that demon away for good, not for you to waste our time!" He once again slammed his fist into the table, startling the young girl
"Detective that's quite enough! Can't you see that the girls in shock from what happened!" The other detective in the room, Dean, scolded his colleague's lack of sympathy
"No, it's fine.. I just ramble a lot when I'm nervous, I should have gotten to the point straight away without wasting your time" Adellah sighed as she recalled the original question "so what did I know about Clay? Well I didn't know him very well, she made sure of that... well I would probably start from the beginning shouldn't I?"

~~Flashback~~

A 9 yesr old Adellah is sitting alone in the playground, watching the other kids play. She didn't know why but all the kids were avoiding her, whenever she tried to join in the game the others would just look at her weirdly and continue playing. Suddenly a girl around her age came up to her and said "it's because you're not from around here"
"What?"
"That's why they don't want to play with you, it's a terrible reason really"
"How can they tell?"
"Have you noticed anything about their hair?"
"What?" Adellah was confused, what could be so important about hair? Why would that cause people to give her nasty looks?
"Boys here are expected to grow out their hair and girls are expected to cut it, in other words, your long hair is kind of offending them"
"Isn't it offending you?"
"Nah, I couldn't give to shits about someone's hair length" they both laughed and the girl sat down next to Adellah
"So what's your name?"
"The names Raz, what about you"
"I'm Adellah, nice to meet you!" She smiled at her new friend, little did she know, this was the start of her life of hell.
