I was never the hero, though it would be nice if I was as courageous and brave as I made myself out to be. I was a shadow in her great acts of heroism, but the world doesn't remember her that way. They all think it was me. I battled Lucy, I faced the Enfermagia. I am Sae Petrea. I am the Aethermagia.
'Tis all a lie.
It was all because of her. The real hero, the real Aethermagia. I just couldn't let her get hurt. It was not hubris that drove me to lie, I swear. It was just to protect her. She is special beyond imaginable, and several want her dead. All of Rucade and Cindercrest to be exact. It was better they think me the hero and not her. They would chase me, they would not hunt her.
I cannot lie any longer. The truth must eventually be told. That is why I am here, that is why this text exists. This is what actually happened. Throw out any bits and pieces of the story of Sae Petrea you might have heard. Assume all of it was false and listen to the true tale.
Before we begin.

I fought for my life while living with my uncle, who abused us children daily. I fought for the answer to the choice that would change my life forever- picking a home, staying in Abnegation with my abusive uncle, going with my cousin only for him to merge off into a new crowd- the Dauntless, or go to where the type of people and the knowledge, are in my blood- Erudite. I struggled to see the light in everything that was happening around me- the attacks on my family, the mind control, and the secrets. I struggled to fit in when my heart was obviously more reckless. I lost love, family, my heart- for this, this war plan. I lost Tobias, my sanity, my blood. I was part of this scheme, this war plan on Abnegation and the mind control over Dauntless; I wish I could say I had no idea of the danger- but I do, I know the full extent of the damage that has been done. I had a serious part in it, I worked side by side with the master minds and the rest of their evil genius goons. I became one but I still held onto one thing- and that one thing, is helping me end this war. Tobias.

Sins Chaos
Tick-tock. Time is up. You can run, but... I wouldn't know the truth if it ran me over on a dark road and stopped long enough to introduce itself. I'm a chameleon and my days of flying under Rixton Biochemical Corp's radar has come to end. Battles fought in secret have now become public and war has been declared. Falling in love wasn't even a blip on my survival radar. From the moment I literally fell into him, it was lust at first sight and our connection was undeniable. Too bad I'm the threat he is sworn to hunt down and he's the danger I crave. ...you will be hunted... Self-delusion: the master of all lies spun; the spider that guards deceptions web. When my past comes back to haunt me, my perfectly crafted island of deceptive truths and earth-shattering lies descends into chaos. I am supposed to be the good guy. The one who hunted down the bad guys. I live in a world where the line that separates the "good" guys from the "bad" guys is just a blurry optical illusion that tricks the mind into believing whatever it wants to be true. Not everything (or everyone) is what (or who) it (they) seem. ...and the truth always finds its prey.Complete

I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby?

White Top Hats
It started when the rain fell. As it hit the windows rhythmically, I fought my sleep. Fighting off the demons in my dreams. I hadn't realized how real that dream became. Waking up to terrified screaming. My heart racing, the lighting striking and my family begging for their lives. I claimed myself as a coward that very same night. I hated myself. My depression became the best of me. What's worst then your family being slaughtered? Hiding in the closet from the killers. I should've helped, I should've been there for them. The pain between my chest and stomach was growing guilt. So I started thinking smart. Looking at everyone differently. I decided to reopen their cold cases. And when I found the truth it hit me deep.Complete
