"When we are of the age of six, we take a test to know the exact time we will die. We don't know how we'll die, but we will know the age we'll be, the day it will happen, and even down to the last second it will happen.
"I am sixteen, and I have thirty days left to live."

We were told to just believe. We were taught to never question. We're supposed to be robots and accept our roles in this altered society. Too bad Hunter and I don't follow the rules. And we're a hell of a lot stronger than they ever thought possible. They've been searching for the world's deadliest weapon. It's me. And I'm not following the leader any more.Complete
