11 parts Complete MatureThis life is all I've ever known. Shadows, secrets, murder. I'm a trained mercenary. An assassin. My parents signed me up for the Talented and Gifted Youth Initiative in middle school after years of my teachers pushing for it, my parents finally relented. I was always steps ahead of my classmates, excelling at tests and sailing through school work like it was easy, to me it was. My parents didn't want me to be even more targeted by classmates than already was, but little did they know what the Talented and Gifted Youth Initiative was really for. On the surface, it was a government based programs with promises of scholarships to the best colleges and universities in the country but beneath the surface, we were guinea pigs. Those of us who excelled became trained assassins, government killing machines, but those of us who didn't excel, and there were many, are locked away in underground bunkers because the test and experiments drove them mad. Survival of the fittest I presume.
