I have been Numb my entire life...

Elyse has lived in the Compound, a facility that houses children deemed Numb, almost her entire life and it's been mostly uneventful. But lately something is starting to cause her peers to become unstable, violent and even die at an alarming rate. When her best friend falls victim to what can only be described as a viral outbreak, Elyse decides to work together with a group of her fellow Numb to figure out why this is happening to them. 

They can't do it alone though, with the Numb being monitored closely 24/7 and having no access to the outside world, but there's a light in the dark for them in the form of a Warden named Jet who is sympathetic to what is happening in the Compound. 

Will they be able to find the reason behind the outbreak in time to stop it from spreading throughout the entire Compound or will the task prove to be something that is just out of their reach?

{A/N: This is the 3rd draft of this story. It's MOSTLY unedited so there's bound to be spelling, grammar and continuity errors. If you catch anything that seems off, feel free to leave a comment!}

Ten years after the battle at Single Oak, the four groups of Oregon are still reeling from its after effects. Territory lines were drawn and stories have been told, those who were heroes once are legends now. In order to avoid new conflicts, solstice gatherings between the groups' leaders were organized-but will they be enough? *** Phoenix has grown up only ever knowing two things. One, her group and fathers are the saviors of Oregon. Two, The Reaper's are not to be trusted. So when a mysterious stranger rescues her after a hunting trip gone wrong turns out to be none other than her mortal enemy she begins to wonder, are they all as bad as they seem? The death of Stephan has begun to deteriorate The Reaper's from the inside out. Infighting over who should be their next leader has created countless seasons of lacking supplies and structure. A lack of prey follows a famine. Strong leadership is in order and although Gerald can provide it, debate and rumors are spread about his chosen companion-Aleu, Stephan's once respected apprentice, now glued to his side in a relationship they never wanted-with no say in the matter. The only person who The Reaper's can put their hope into is Hawk, their new general, a powerful man willing to do anything to keep his group thriving. Hawk is torn between keeping his group safe and his own ambition, Aleu is tortured with a constricting life they hate and Phoenix wonders if she can truly trust her new acquaintances.

Raised within the boundless white laboratory walls, Adrian Bordeleau is cruelly exploited to develop a cure. As he grow up, a voice began to eat away at his soul.

Once you get a taste of power, you can't go back - My Deceiving Eyes is heavily inspired by the song Brutus by Buttress.

Many and many people begin to get infected, including some people Bryce used to compete with. This is all getting out of hand... and Bryce needs to fix it... But how can Bryce stop it?
