"But subconsciously she knew that safety, like all aspects in her life, is only temporary. "

Ruth McIntyre
Marnie Peckett
Jade Kendall

These names have one thing in common -- the person who uses them.

---

After yet another life-threatening encounter, she decided that it was time to dispose identity number three and move on, thus Scarlett Lewis was created. A new state, new life, new identity but living under the same cloud of fear, she accepted that everything in life for her would forever be temporary, disposable; she learnt the hard way not to let emotions seep through and attach its vice-like grip on her heart and mind -- steering clear of friendship, drama and romance, her personal doom. But unsurprisingly, just like every good story, life gives you lemons, also known as the screwed up way to give you everything you never want.


And this time, the lemons come built in with self-timed grenades.
