I always hated lies. I never understood why people couldn't just tell the truth. Lies created fear and broken trust. The half lies were the ones I was most afraid of: they lead you away from trust, right into the cyclone of lies. They called them white lies, but I called them betrayal. To protect my heart, some of my loved ones were familiar with white lies. But no, not me. I was honest to a fault.

Yet, I lied to my best friend.

I stared straight ahead at the massive, mysterious house we had been in yesterday. The one our saneness had been played with. The one, in which one of my friends had been taken away to a place she could still not remember.
