The Experiment of Five

Ruth knew she wasn't TOTALLY normal. She had no memory of her life before the age of 13 after she was put in a coma... but still, she was normal enough, right?

When the dangerous new boy attempts to kill her at school, she discovers she is one of the most expensive targets for skilled assassins, professional hit men, and experienced killers, with an astronomical amount of money placed on her head.

She needs answers, and fast. Thankfully, there are four others that are just as dangerous, and like her, none of them remember the first 13 years of their life.

So the question is:
Why have none of them been killed yet?

"How are we not?" He suddenly outstretched his fingers and the flame swelled into an angry red ball of fire as big as a basketball. "When we were made for war?"
