Warnings: Slash (guy on guy ... eventually), coarse language and Character Death.
Summary: It's all secrets and lies.
Note: Here would be the prologue, incredibly short, I know, but this sets the story up nicely for how I want it. Updates should be weekly, hopefully. You may get more than one a week depending on how much I write that week. Especially for the first few chapters.
prologue
secrets and lies
'To My Son,
I apologize for the pain you are about to go through, and especially for my part in it. I never meant for things to get so out of hand, but they did, and I regret that. It hasn't even been a year, and I can already see serious flaws in the plan made. I regret ever having let my husband go through with it.
But my mistakes aside, I write this letter in the hopes that you will finally understand what the gaping hole where your family should be is about. I am writing this, with the assumption that I and my husband have died. When I say family, I mean your true family, not us, who you have surely been brought up to believe are your parents. The physical evidence aside.
No, my adopted son, you are not mine, though I wish it were so. After I miscarried, my husband, and an old family friend stole you, from your own mother and father, and your siblings. I enclose your true address, in hopes that you will seek them out, and complete their family once again, and also, give them my regrets.
My husband fed you a potion the day after you were taken, it altered you, to make you look like one of us, until the day that you turned sixteen. You have received this letter, hopefully, on the eve of your sixteenth birthday. Your true sixteenth birthday. June the sixth. It will be painful, by morning; you should look like your true self once again.
Please, do not hesitate to contact your parents; I am sure they miss you terribly. And throw away any preconceived notions you have of them, as they are most likely wrong and twisted by what is now called the "truth". It's all secrets and lies. Do not believe him.
Love,
Your adopted mother.'
Note: I don't suppose I'll bribe you with updates for reviews ... yet. Oh, and this may not make much sense, but it will eventually. I DO know whwt I am doing, you know!
