                                         The disease will get to you.

Humans thought they could escape their troubles by leaving them behind on Earth. On this planet, there was to be no hunger, no corruption, no disease, and no war. 

But things always find a way to mess up our visions of perfection.

It was the first generation of humans born on the new planet. Everything seemed bright with hope.

Then came the disease. Like a ravenging beast, it struck and left no family unaffected. Young and old, strong and weak, no one was spared from the sickness. Those who live through it spoke of pain worse than anything they ever felt.

No one knows where the disease came from, only that it was killing people off faster than any war.

Those who survived were never the same. They developed abnormal abilities such as enhanced vision, intelligence, or strength. The disease was not anything human kind had ever seen before. The mutations were unpredicable and decidedly dangerous.

Something needed to be done and quickly. The best scientists were teamed together for the task.

But they failed. No cure has yet been found. The disease still plagues us to this day.

And it is changing. The chances of survival is greater, and so are the rates of the mutations.

The mutations are a sign of the disease. It is unknown how contagious the disease is, if at all. But those who have the mutations are wise to hide it.

For if they find out, one way or another, they will take you.

Author's Note: This will be my first story on Wattpad. Not sure what two genres to put this in. This will be about teens with powers in a world where it is feared. 

I want to know if you would read more.
