Here's a pair you'd never imagine. Please review, I live and breathe constructive (and not so constructive) criticism on a daily basis. You can also suggest whose POV I use in the next chapters to come. The prologue is Maggie (in case you didn't guess) but chapter 1 I'm starting with Alec.

A Prologue

Don't tell me a lie. You'll regret it.

When I was human I could tell a liar by facial twitches, body language, words,. Now I just knew. Like that.

Everyone lies. Everybody is dishonest, dirty and betraying. That's just the way we were made to be, human or… not.

Once I asked Siobhan to make a future for me, a future where I met someone. A boy. A boy who told me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

And I asked her to make me fall in love with him.

I don't know if she did. That was a very long time ago. I'm happy with Siobhan and Liam. They're like the parents I never had. Maybe I don't need a boy. Maybe Siobhan faked making that future to make me stay with her.

I don't care.

But I never ask her. I know if she answers me, I will know the truth.

And sometimes, the truth can be a dangerous thing.
