The government began taking babies with the mark and testing them. But, they couldn't test the mark without killing the baby. So the government told all the people that marked babies were lethal and infected so parents would give up the babies. Nobody knew the truth except the kids, and they're dead.

Right there, in the middle of second period, she disappeared - not like she ran away, but like something pulled her out of existence. We thought we imagined it. Until the school forced an emergency assembly to explain it away with lies. Until we noticed the same mark etched into all six of us. Until people started forgetting she ever existed. And suddenly... we weren't strangers anymore. Now we know it wasn't just a glitch in reality. It was a claim. We are marked. We are chosen. And we are no longer our own.Complete
