Everyone lies. Our world is composed of lies. Almost everyone loves. This world clings on love. Everyone is terrified of something. Horror and fear has always been part of this world. Everyone in the world has secrets. Some more terrible then others. Some more hurtful then others and they only are known when you look deeply. The thing is, I hid your secret no matter how much pain it caused me, I hid it, but you along with everyone else hid something from me and now the fallen are after me. - Belle McLain (words she will never say to him)
