Hi guys, this story became an itch I couldn't scratch (what with my penchant for taking Disney characters and actually putting them in a difficult more 'real' situation). So here it is. I'm still working on my other fics but be patient. I fully intend to finish them, it'll just take time, which I seem to have very little of. I of course own nothing... but if Disney wants to give me a job then...

Enjoy x

The true life of Teddy Duncan

Prologue

Have you ever had a secret so shameful that you hid it even from your best friend? Ever had to tell a lie so huge that it was like putting on a mask every morning to hide who you really are even from the people you love the most? I have. I have lied so well, and so long that even I'm starting to blur the lines between reality and the fantasy I've been living.

It started out innocently enough. The one person I told the truth to convinced me to go along with this lie SHE made up and I couldn't say no. She was my Mom and I needed her help so badly, and she wanted the best for me right? But now I live this lie every single day and each time I wake up and watch them all play happy families it's like she's twisting the knife in my heart just that little bit more, just to remind me that she has that power and I'm helpless to change anything, despite what I want and what I feel is best.

See my name is Teddy Duncan, I am 16 years old and we recently had an addition to our family. Her name is Charlie. To the outside world she's my younger sister that I dote on, in reality she's much much more. She's my daughter.
