Iron Gate

Preface

You could say being me has it's privileges, but that is where you would be absolutley wrong.

My name is Evelyn Valentine Rose Marie Watson. Quite a mouthful, I know. My late grandmother's name was Evelyn. She and my mother were quite close, but I'll get to that. Valentine is my mother's name. My late mother's name. I never knew my mum. She died when I was born. My father gave me those names instead of the traditional Rose Marie of his family because of their deaths very close to my birth.

Gradmum was killed in her bed the day before my birth, and the case was never looked in to.

Mum died because the doctors in America were scared to treat one of the infected.

Infected. Yes, that is what my society is called.

I was born on the dawning of a new era for humankind. An era where our race would split in two.

I was a sign of a revoultion, of defiance against those who wished to opress those whom they had called brother.

Yes. I am leader of the Iron Gate.
