{UNEDITED FIRST DRAFT, REWRITE IN WORKS} "...You've made me see that humanity isn't just found in humans. Sometimes monstrosity is found in humans, too." Xander sat back and soaked in my words as he raised his head high. The words hung in the air for moments as we thought of Project X and humans and monsters and experiments and torture and humanity. And how beautifully wonderful the humanity of monsters could be, and how chaotically ugly the monstrosity of humans could be. ~ Terra is a first year pre-medical student with a dark, haunting past. Xander is a supernatural being, a wendigo, taken captive by the government. The two form an unlikely bond before the watchful, corrupt eyes of the United States government's "Project X." As time passes, Terra realizes that her internship with Project X is more than she signed up for. Her humanity and sanity are compromised as she and Damian, nephew to the director of Project X, dig deeper into the dark intents of the Project. In a fight for their lives and freedom, they learn what it truly means to be human.
