AN- Warning- this is weird. I write quite a bit of weird stuff, to be completely honest. And this is probably one of the weirdest yet. Since I have two (Skyrim and Persona) that are based around Maura, I figured I would write one based around Jane... Kind of. Well, be prepared. That is all I could possibly say...
There is something important I have to tell you about Maura Isles. Something that neither one of us has ever dared to think much about, let alone mention in more than a hushed whisper following a terrible nightmare.
She has a secret.
At this point, I can imagine your face. Your eyes are probably humongous, bugging out of your head in a fly- like fashion. I completely understand your dilemma centering around my statement. Let us think about Dr. Isles for a moment.
She is smart, almost in a frightening manner. When she talks, she has the unnerving tendency to spout off entire volumes of information, as if you searched your question on Google and were now reading the Wikipedia about it. And she is beautiful. I may be a little bit biased when it comes to this, since she is mine after all, but still. With long, honey blonde hair that falls in waves, and the most perfect curves... I rephrase my previous statement. She is drop dead gorgeous. Yes, that sounds much more accurate. Ah Hell, I'm starting to sound like her.
Anyway, Maura also has a past she talks about infrequently. She went to a French, all girls boarding school. She was adopted, and her true parents were a little out of the ordinary. One is a homicidal maniac and the other a brilliant doctor. Sounds about right, yes?
Good. Because it is all a lie.
Your eyeballs probably just fell out of your damn head, something that Maura tells me is actually quite impossible. She would know. You think Maura can't lie. This is also a lie. The majority of this woman's life is one gloriously spun, intricate web. I would know, since I crafted it for her, myself. If someone were to ever find out...
Well, that is exactly why you are here.
You see, I need to tell someone, just in case. My job is dangerous, and I constantly am put in compromising positions. So it is important that someone know about Maura, just in case tragedy befall me.
You see, not everything is as it appears.
I see that my words are confusing you, and quite rapidly. My apologies. Perhaps I should begin at the beginning; unfurling the many lies surrounding the two of us, one by one. Yes, that sounds good. Get comfortable, the tale is by no means a brief one. So, the beginning.
Well, I suppose I should start with who I am..
