Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard.

But instead, she unwittingly attracted the attention of a stalker. Someone who had been watching her every move for a month, plotting and planning for the perfect moment when he could take her. What Layna never would have expected was that when he finally kidnaps her, she would have to undergo "The Test". The Test that the girls before her had gone through. The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?

The world took a turn for the better. There were less problems, less diseases, and less to worry about. Or that's what He told her. Experiment Arcelia 14786 was His favorite. She was so vital to the Lab she inhabited that they painted her door blue instead of the sterile white that plastered everything else. She knew all the passcodes and looked down submissively. She was the perfect experiment because of Him. But when He brings in a new experiment from the Outside called Experiment Varian, she finds herself experiencing change whether she likes it or not. And it's all because of Experiment Varian, the only other one to accept the Red Virus Trial besides Arcelia herself. Unlike the passive Arcelia, Varian isn't going to let the Lab take him down.
