Someone knows the truth about her past. And when that truth finally comes to light... It won't just destroy lives. It will start a war. "You shouldn't have seen that." Those were the first words Kieran Voss ever said to her. Aurelia should have run. Maybe then her heart would've survived.

When I was between ten to twelve years old, I went through an intense I-can-write-earthshaking-poetry phase. My poems had everything, philosophy, humor, loss, love. Of course, now I realize that poetry does not entail rhyming every alternate sentence, and that I made up certain words along the way, but they are pretty enjoyable nonetheless. Or so I think. Okay, so that was the polite introduction. Here's the real one: You know how bucket lists are all the rage now? Well, I made one and it includes, and I quote "Post your childhood efforts to become a poet on Wattpad and not take it down for at least a year". You see, like everybody else, the moment I finish writing something--anything, I feel stupid. And considering that I wrote this six or seven years ago, I feel really really stupid. But I'm all fearless today, maybe due to lack of sleep, and so I am posting this. On a side note, I have decided to stop being embarrassed about how immature I was/am and embrace the fact that I was an idealistic, pure, eleven year old before I became the poster child for Cynical@Sixteen.
