He has killed, he has sent men to die, he has seen death itself several times over.
  But he has never been corrupted.
  Segehart Swiller is a military man of the world of Lumba.
    
  He is kidnapped. Interrogated.
  
 Conditions were made, ones he knew were groundless, but not impractical to do. Tasks that were morally wrong and held sickening lust for blood, but for his service, he will gain normality, a life that he has longed for. Despite his efforts, on one particular mission, a peculiar occurrence appears. A truth. A truth which if known to his species would cause an apocalypse. Riots would threaten to overthrow order. Otherwise, his people would label him insane and throw him in the dungeons.
  
What will he do? Will he risk telling? Will his newly formed powerful 'friends' help him make the decision?

His brothers and sisters and Roy, his best friend, are all in the cave having fun while Bruce is at the Watch Tower, and they go through old boxes in the cave out of boredom and curiosity... ..all to find out the real truth about Jason, and what Bruce found out about the Todd family line and never told the crime boss.

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one
44 parts Complete
Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.
