Nobody knows how, but one day people with strange powers suddenly began appearing throughout the world. A group of people acted quickly, capturing these people before others noticed. Then, for reasons only known to the kidnappers, they began torturing the empowered people. Not for information, only for fun. For years, these Empowered have suffered this.
Sarah, 13 years old, is one of these Empowered. She sits in the far cell of the facility, alone. Her only visitor is the most insane and cruel kidnapper, Lily.
Llana, 15, has only grim flashes of her memory. But as a kidnapper, she only craves to play "games" with the Empowered and paint the rooms red. Her past doesn't matter to her at all.

Three years.
It had been three years since he'd been taken, experimented on, had his DNA altered and became a freak of nature. He knew because he'd managed to peek at the computer when they dragged him into that dreaded room; the one they used to prod, poke and inject him with god-knows-what. He was considered their only success - meaning their illegal tests hadn't killed him or rendered him paralysed, or worse; brain dead.
He was subject 254. And he was the only survivor.
At least until she - subject 391 - moved into the cell next door.
