A/N: For the P100 Challenge 163 Lies. Angst. Thanks go again to Fred for the beta.

The water runs over my hands, but can never wash them clean of the stain only I can see.

I sigh as I raise my eyes to the mirror. My gaze slides away when I try to look into my own eyes.

I know why.

So many secrets.

So many lies.

So many deaths.

They haunt my soul and I dread to see the darkness inside reflected back at me.

A darkness which grows with every lie I tell.

How do they not see it when they look into my eyes?

They are the window to the soul, aren't they?

Very vivid and intense. And now I'm going to be wondering who the character is!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I really don't know, I just got the idea and wrote it.

[bella-farfalla.livejournal.com]

Oooh chilling.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*good* I was trying for a little bit of darkness.

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Oooooh.... very good. And yes, who is it? *flails*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. Um, take your pick as I don't know either. *ducks the flailing Jay-bird*

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

*wibbles* That was intense!

And the unfortunate thing is, that could be practically any of the characters...

*pets telperion 15*

Ah, good. That was what I was hoping for.

[fredbassett]

Yes, I agree with Tel_15. The sad thing is that this could fit several of the characters.

That was why this ended up first person, all those he's and she's would have limited who it could have been. Thanks again for the beta.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

meep! Very scary and dark.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, good to know it worked so well.

[talliw.livejournal.com]

Mhh, that fits for several characters. I'm curious with whom in mind you wrote this.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it was suppose to fit several of them. Sorry, but you'll have to remain curious as I never decided who it was. I had a few vague ideas but not a concrete one, it just seemed better to keep it as open as possible.

Oh, eek!

(And a gen tag is fine for this) :)

Thanks.

(and thanks again, I just wanted to check).
