The Lies Behind Mine

Prologue

I held up the skirts of my robes to keep them from them from tripping me as I ran. I had to get there before something could happen. I had to get there and stop it because I knew that it was all my fault.

No amount of messing with time would fix what had happened.

I ran down the silent stone halls and the echo of my heavy boot sounded in my ears almost as loud as loud as the pounding of my heart. I'd been running so much this night. All over the castle. Looking. Looking but not finding. Where were they? Faces in portraits snorted and snuffed awake as the sound of my running startled them, but I was gone before any of them could question me about my mission.

My mission. Which was ruined. I'd all but failed and the only way to fix what I'd done was to find them and make them stop.

But more than that. More than my mission. I wanted to find him. I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him the truth.

My name is Susan.

I am an Untouchable.

I love you.
