It's the year 2060 and the United States have become an Authoritarian state following the outbreak of a mysterious virus called the Klein Virus that has tormented the country and world for decades. Those who become contaminated are sent off to the dreaded Quarantine Stations, where very few actually end up surviving and bringing along their own horrific stories. 

Skye Larson is the parental guardian of her 15-year-old sister, Hayden, and her 8 year old brother, Zack, who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. Skye's only goal is to protect her siblings after they tragically lost their parents to the virus. 

Noah Olsen is the son of one of the highest ranking officers in the United States military. With expectations placed upon him, he finds comfort in his girlfriend, Skye, and their relationship is kept a secret out of fear of it being used against them by Noah's father. 

When Zack suddenly contracts the virus, it becomes a sudden mission to avoid authorities so that they can stay together as a family. Will they be safe enough together? Or are there more troubles ahead?

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues. Genre: Science Fiction, Romance, Post-apocalyptic, Dark romance Length: 84,468 words This book has been published on Amazon. The first ten chapters will be updated to what you get in the published novel and will remain here, so you can try before you buy.
Verde by stardust-y

Cassidy Wilson is an Immune. No, she is more than that - she is a Verde. A gene sequence common in those with green eyes keeps her safe from the Pulse, a virus released in the US at the turn of the century - the next century, that is. Cassidy's special advantage, paired with her wit and physical abilities, have brought her into the world of the Verdes - the special police force of Quarantine, keeping in check the crime that comes when everyone's days are numbered. As Cassidy trains to lay down her life in order for the people of her continent to die in peace, she uncovers the past of the Pulse, and through it, her own past. But can she handle it? AN: This is a product of NaNoWriMor (National Novel Writing Month) so it's not going to be perfect, and it is completely unedited. There might be some parts that I change in previous chapters as I decide that I need more details to support an event that happens in a later chapter. There might be parts that seem a bit wordy - that's probably me just trying to reach my word count goal (is that cheating?). There might be parts that just seem plain unnecessary - that's me writing a scene, and then not wanting to delete something I spent so much effort on. There might be parts that seem emotionless, or not very well written - that's me powering through writers block. There might be scenes that take the story nowhere - that's because I'm a 'pantser' as NaNoWriMo has so kindly tagged me. I don't plan anything out, except for a very rough plot line. That being said - ALL HATE WELCOME!
