"Please. No no! I can't take anymore. Just let me go. I won't tell anyone. I promise. Please." I beg. As streams of tears roll down my face. Landing on the concrete floor. He just ignores me. As he walks from the wooden table on the far side of the room. Back to my helpless tied up body. With some type of pliers resting in his tightly closed hand. He is now standing in front of me. Towering over my small shaking frame. Smirking down at me. Causing a shiver to run down my spine. He grabs my left hand in a tight grip. I try to pull it back. But his grip is just too strong. He takes the pliers. Tightly gripping one of my fingernails with them. "No, you don't have to do this! Please don't? I'm begging you! Please!" Pain began as he started pulling back on the pliers. The pain growing with every second. Then a loud cracking sound. And unbearable pain spread throughout my whole hand. Shooting up my arm. I scream out in agonizing pain. As I watch red crimson blood fill the place were my nail used to be. I begin to sob even harder. When I see him move the pliers to the next nail. IS THIS EVER GOING TO END!!!

Scientist Benedict Lee thought animal testing was overrated, so he turned to humans. Experimenting on seven young individuals for three years, Benedict Lee has finally been caught, or rather, has revealed himself to the world about his inhumane endeavors. He goes on air and tells the United States about his special seven test subjects, and the powers he has created in them. With the East and West side of America on the verge of war, both sides want to use these subjects for their own good. Seventeen-year-old Malakai, otherwise known as Subject Zero, is among the seven of Benedict's subjects, and holds a special and secret power that the world would soon kill for-or be killed by. Rosalyn is from a family of wealth, power, and fortune, who also happens to be the daughter of the Vice President of the East Capitol. It is them who soon takes Malakai into their hands and tries to discover his abilities. And it is Rosalyn who grows curious about Subject Zero. Little do they know, his powers would be a great threat that could change everything. ------ COVER: @fiona_bauer Highest Rankings: #5 in Dystopian #3 in MagicalRealism #1 in Subject
