She was perfect. He was different. She was unique. He was mysterious. She hid a secret. He figured it out. ~~~ "Why do you always wear long sleeves, even in the warm weather?" I asked, walking side-by-side with her down the hall. "I can't tell you." She responded, turning to me with fear and heartbreak in her beautiful, violet eyes. Why would she be heartbroken, though? "Yes you can. You know you can tell me anything." I replied, now holding her shoulders tightly, so she was standing directly in front of me. "No, you can't know this." She stated, not bothering to hide the coldness and sternness in her voice. I couldn't do it anymore. I pushed her into one of the empty classrooms and shut the door behind us. I let one of my hands release her shoulder and swiftly pull her sleeve up her arm before she could react. I slowly backed away in shock and horror as I looked between her glowing tattooed arm and her fluorescent eyes. "No!" She screamed, causing me to run backwards into the wall, tripping over a few chairs. She sank to the floor, her head in her hands, crying.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
