Being ill & impoverished is nothing new to Skye Palmner- the upsurge in a radioactive wasteland made sure of that.
Seventeen Years Ago, more than half of Tier Three's Newborn population were killed by a volatile radioactive wasteland. Those who survived were affected severely. Their cellular make-ups rapidly changed and warped into a strange form of cancerous cells. Scientists called them the X-cells.
Previous studies illustrated how rapidly the cells were morphing, making them extremely combustible- easily killing the victim. Being the poorest society of the three Tiers in the European Union, the kids weren't given any special aids, leaving most of them to suffer and die out.
That is until the Director General of the European Union decides to step in. His Lab Techs have been engineering possible cures for the X-cell, and have been taking these kids to experiment on.
Skye Palmner isn't exactly enthusiastic, she's more so dubious, as she holds no trust for the Government.
When they take her and her mates away from their Children's Home and to the Research Facility, Skye's doubts are augmented.
She senses that something sinister is boiling beyond the surface, and what exactly is happening to those who get "treated"?
She won't ever know until it's her turn.

Alexia Lambre, Teenage Telekinetic: The School
Alexia Lambre had never been a truly 'normal' girl, because she had always had the added 'bonus' of telekinesis. At least, some might call it a bonus. Alexia would call it a curse, because throughout her entire life she worried about someone finding out about it and taking her away. Someone did find out about it, but not the government like she assumed would happen. She was soon offered a place at what was called 'The School,' a place for people like her to learn about their powers. When she arrived though, she learned otherwise. She makes friends with the other kids, and they all join up against the scientists at the school, those that like to do tests and even experiments on them. Will the group ever escape the school? Or will the appearance of a new teen and 'experiment C' do them in?Complete

I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing.
