A/n: Hi guys! So we're back, It's three in the morning here and I am ass tired so, I'm not gonna ramble in this note like usual. So enjoy! Btw, after this chap do you like Miranda now?!

I was born that day, not reborn, but born. I killed him, and to be quite honest, it felt good…delicious even. I've killed many people before, and all though it was people I didn't know, people who I had just "heard" things about, people who, in my eyes were...innocent in a sense. It wasn't easy, but this kill was one in a million. More than one in a million. He deserved every stab to the chest that I gave him, and every kick to the groin I delivered after that. It was sick, twisted even, but that's what a gang does to you, turns you hard and cold so something like this happens all the time, you start to like the killings because it gives you some sort of self worth. I watched as he spit up blood, some of it splattering on my face probably attentional by the disgusted look on his face, it didn't matter though, plenty of his blood was already splayed on me as it was from all the stabbing. I watched as his eyes went wide and and a horrific trembled took over his body. I didn't care however, I got what I wanted, his death on my hands. Did I make you proud, dad?

Liaras felt a devilish chill crawl over her spine. "Goddess…d-did Shepard really right this?" She whispered to herself. Her crest laid on the head rest of the passenger side of shepards car, her head shot toward the window when voices could be heard not too far. In a complete panic as Shepard walked to the car occupied with tori, The asari practically shoved the small journal into the glove compartment where she had been snooping around while she waited for the two.

What if those panties were some sort of prize? Maybe she killed some poor girl and kept the panties as a reward? …No! Shepards not like that. Liaras ragged breaths picked up when thoughts ran through her mind. Glaring at her girlfriend, for some sort of evidence that She couldn't possibly be a killer, Liara watched as Shepard was feets away from the car, smiling and laughing with her little sister. Liara steadied her breath as the car door opened. See T'soni? There's no way. Shepards too...caring and compassionate.

"All I'm saying is if you just returned the toy it's rightful owner there would be no prob." Tori shrugged as Shepard fastened her seat belt. Liara had caught onto the context, knowing that they were speaking about the incident this morning. At this point, however, Liara could and couldn't care less about the panties, if they so happened to be a weird reward from her victim…Liara didn't know what she would, but if it was just Shepard cheating, she would have to break up with her.

Liara laid a hand on her forehead. That was fucked up that she loved Shepard so much she would consider staying in a relationship with killer instead of a cheater, and she did admit that even if she did cheat, they would probably get back together, although there would be little trust.

"And all I'm saying is, next time you talk about this I'm gonna hide under your bed and eat all your little fingers and toes." Shepard joked, giving her younger sister a kiss on the forehead before closing her car door, tori let out a delightful giggle and decided the conversation was over. That's exactly what a monster would do…or in shepards case, a demon…ugh! Get a hold of yourself, Liara! By the goddess how could you be so dunce? Your loving, beautiful, funny, sensual girlfriend could NOT be a murderer!…yet…those panties…that gun…the rumors.

As if on command, Liara shot up like a groundhog to the sound of shepards car door opening. The asari noticeably tensed at the new presence when the blonde sat fully in the car with the door shut, With a tension so thick, Liara wondered if anyone else could feel it or was it just all in her mind. Putting the key in the ignition, Shepard snapped her head toward Liara, and for the first time she saw how those gray eyes could be perceived as cold, just like steel. The asari squirmed under shepards gaze, which she didn't do anymore like she did when they first became friends. Liara knew the blonde had picked up on that, she could read her like a book, another intimidating thing Shepard knew how to do.

"Liara." She said in a soft but commanding voice, as if telling her girlfriend to look at her. The asari couldn't help but feel slightly guilty when she didn't want to, how could she be so…impudent, shepard cared- CARES so much about her and what they had just did in the bedroom was even more of a commitment of her love. And yet, looking into her eyes still scared the asari, "Liara." Shepards voice boomed throughout the running car, making Liara jump, immediately regretting it when Shepard became even more suspicious with the furrow of her brow.

This time Liara looked at Shepard, quickly entranced by her eyes. "Yes?" Liara gulped. She knows I know!… but the blonde eyes softened, her slightly calloused hand covered Liaras thigh. "I did not do that, okay? Don't you trust me?" Shepard said slightly squeezing Liaras thigh. The asari shoulders slumped over and she became weak, even if Shepard was a killer, she could always calm Liara down. The asari did feel guilty though, one for snooping through shepards things on a jealous impulse and also for not believing her lover.

Liara nodded, "I do, Shepard. It's just a little freighting discovering something new about your significant other that could possibly send your relationship into a downward spiral…I do not know if I trust the girls around here, however I do know I can trust you." The blonde didn't know this but Liara was actually making herself feel better than she was making herself , but it worked for both of them none the less.

Shepard smiled, "Good. You know I would never hurt you, I love you, and there's no one else that I'd rather be with."

Liara grinned, her beautiful blue lips, surrounding that white, smile. She couldn't help herself, she loved Shepard very much. In her eyes Shepard was a saint, especially when she spoke to Liara, because every time she did, it was always something that made Liara feel like she could do anything. "I love you too." The asari whispered. "No matter what."

Tori sighed, "Okay now that that lovey stuff is over, can we please get to school?"

Liara didn't know, but she was pretty sure Miranda was somewhere around the school. Although, Liara could have probably went to someone else for information on Shepard, she highly doubted that anyone would tell the truth, let alone know it. She knew Miranda was a reliable source, but she couldn't possibly know about what Shepard did back on earth in Britain, unless Shepard told her. Which would be a little strange to the asari because why wasn't she told? She WAS and IS shepards girlfriend. Her very, SERIOUS, girlfriend.

She could always just go to Shepard for answers, but she was pretty sure if she did, there would be hell to pay, Shepard did have a very short temper. And while liara KNEW she wouldnt harm her, she would be very upset and do something dangerous, and the asari couldn't carry that burden.

The car ride was longer than usual, for liara that is. When they dropped tori off, Shepard pretended that everything was normal, which to her, it was. She would speak to liara like she normally would, joke around, flirt and just talk, little did she know liara was thinking about how many times she has just talked to her while harboring this secret like it was nothing. Once they arrived at the school liara gave Shepard a hug and scurried off, she felt a little pang in her chest when Shepard genuinely frowned at her, but liara had to find out the truth and she needed to find it out now.

The little asari briskly walked to biotics 101, that was the only class she had with the Aussie, and for the rest of the day liara didn't even see her, it was perfect, except Shepard was also in that class. Liara figured she would head there early before Shepard so she could speak to Miranda without causing anymore suspicion. A leap in her step she basically charges through the double doors to the gym, to her utmost joy, she saw Miranda training with shi'ara. Oh yeah…never mind, another couple of people who hated her, with the feeling being mutual.

She took a deep breath before hugging her books to her chest and approaching the girls. As she began to walk toward them, liara caught shi'aras eye, she could have sworn she saw a smirk on that blue face, Liara felt the urge to roll her eyes as they stopped combating and looked at her, arms folded and a defiant look on their face.

Liara could almost feel her inner Shepard coming out, but she detained it, it would be so much easier for everyone. "Hello Miranda, shi'ara." She greeted charmingly.

"Well…look who it is," shi'ara smirked, liara rolled her eyes- she tried, she really did. Obviously they didn't know who liara was now. "Where's your girlfriend? Or wait, are you hooking up with Kai still?"

Liara smiled, "Well, shi'ara. If it is any of your business, I am with Shepard and was never romantically involved with Kai, but I would ask you just exactly who you were romantically indulged with, but I do believe class will be starting in twenty minutes so I am afraid you wouldn't have enough time to name everyone…not including Shepard and I of course."

Shi'ara eyes widened and this time, liara smirked. "Y-you pureblood bitch!" The asari marched pass liara making sure to slam into her shoulder.

"And yet, shepards still mine." Liara hollered back with a chill of victory running over her. She never knew Shepard could have such an effect on her, a positive one at that. Miranda twitched at that, when liara had unintentionally said it directly to her. The asari couldn't help but feel a little bad for insulting shi'ara and Miranda without even meaning to, but they both had it coming nonetheless.

"Well? What is it? I don't have all day to fraternize, I have to practice." Miranda stated coldly, her ice blue eyes staring daggers at the young asari. Liara hadn't spoken to Miranda since the whole shabang with her showing up on her front porch, the entire gym became awkwardly stuffy as liara remembered the encounter. "Ugh," Miranda groaned, turning on her heal. "I don't have time for this bloody crap."

Liara snapped out her trance, and leaped for Miranda's wrist. "Wait! I um…" she let go of the girl before her arm was chewed off. "I-I have a question…about Shepard."

Miranda shook her head with a snort, "Are you serious t'soni? Why the bloody hell would I even want to talk to you? You broke Shepard and I up." She paused, letting the guilt sink in for liara. "You couldn't have possibly come to a worst person."

Liara bit her lip, "Miranda please, this is important to me. And while I do feel bad for your relationship with Addison coming to a more than unsavory ending, I need your help" liara pled.

Miranda tapped her heel, "Fine. But make this quick."

Liara almost exploded with joy, "Thank you so much." But then became more serious. She took a deep breath, thinking about how to prepare her first sentence. "So…you and Shepard were VERY close…s-so I could imagine that she would share everything with you, correct? Even her past."

Miranda walked over to the bleachers to take a seat with liara in tow. "No, not really." Miranda let out a long sigh, recalling the memories of things Shepard had told her about her past, which wasn't much but the things she said were insane to say the least. Liara sat down beside her anxiously as she waited for the girl to continue. "She would always be so...secretive and when I did find out something about her she would always deny it and I would have to yank the truth out of her."

Liara looked down at her feet, "I see…I am afraid I have had the same dilemma, but what I wanted to ask you was, has Shepard ever killed anyone?" Liara kept staring down at her feet when Miranda shot her an incredulous look.

"I…um…" Miranda uncharacteristically stuttered, "Yes…" the girl heard liaras breath catch. "Multiple times…she…the rumors are true-most of them. Shepard use to be a part of a very, lethal, gang. She killed a couple of people and did things she's not proud of. I shouldn't be telling you this, it's not my place."

Liara regained her composure, "…I suppose I should thank you, with you being on Kai lengs side I didn't think y-"

"What?" Miranda's neck snapped to the caught off guard asari. "I'm not on the bloody fools side."

Liara furrowed her brows, "But that's what he told Shepard and I-"

"Look, Liara. I have to admit, as much as it kills me to..." Miranda lookec down at her hands. "I want you and shepards relationship to work out, I don't hate Shepard or you, I just was upset that Shepard didn't love me like she loves you anymore, I still care about her and love her, so as long as she's happy so am I..as cliché it is to say."

Liara couldn't help but smile, "Now I see why Shepard took interest in you as a partner." The asari stood up. "Thank you again Miranda, your help is very appreciated." With a nod, Liara turned toward the gyms exit and began to take her leave.

And for the first time, Miranda smiled at Liara. "You're welcome."

Once out of the gymnasium, Liara began to speed down the hall to the auditorium to find Shepard. She didn't know what she was gonna say, or if she was going to say anything at all, all she knew was that she was in love with a serial killer. And yet…Shepard made her shiver with delight now more than ever.
