"There was basically nothing that the scientists had not altered and played with, changed it's appearance or structure. Directed electricity through it to made it move or to restart a heart, by using machines and generators. The difference was that the Gifted only needed some power of will."
"The air in the rooms had grown heavier and hotter, Eliza couldn't breathe. She stood outside the bathroom, in the corner, where the hallway opened to the huge living room where the party was the most alive. Someone had gotten up to the coffee table and was dancing themselves to death. In the middle of the floor there was a honey blond boy with pearls around his neck and five people glued to him, unbuttoning his shirt, kissing his collarbone. "
The weight of being expected to do great things had dragged Eliza and Kal down their whole lives. Whilst trying to find comfort to their hurt they manage to unravel truths that were hidden for a reason. And when every hand around you is soaked with unknown blood, who can you trust?
The Scientist is the first book out of three to tell this story of young love, power, morality and madness.

This book talks about heavy topics such as depression, de@th, child abuse and sèx. It also views over ideologies and religion, politics and other often very different feelings provoking topics. This is not a thing to comment negatively about, you have been informed.
Other than that I hope you enjoy the story and (this is Wattpad so it might not be a surprise but) just so you know English isn't my first language and I'd be happy if you can inform me of some misuse of words so I can get better. Remember to be nice :)
