"All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. 
But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. 
Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed."

Lillian, a girl born in the state of Virginia, finds herself forced to live in a world of hatred and violence. 
97% of the teenage population in America is killed by the disease known as IAAN and Chelsea is part of the remaining 3%. The surviving kids, however, change. They develop dangerous and uncontrollable psionic abilities, classified into five colors by degree of danger:
-GREEN: impressive development of intelligence;
-BLUE: telekinesis;
-YELLOW: electrokinesis or manipulation of electric currents;
-RED: pyrokinesis;
-ORANGE: mind control and brain manipulation.

Hated and feared by adults, the survivors are taken to 'rehabilitation camps', where they are promised a cure that unfortunately never comes through.
So it's up to Lillian and all the other kids like her to learn to thrive in the dark and create their own light.

This story is taken from the series 'The Darkest Minds' by Alexandra Bracken. I only own this specific novel and its characters.

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book. Credit to Pvris for the titles of the chapters. 2015 © Run-Dont-Walk

I.A.A.N.: Idiopathic Adolescent Acute Neurodegeneration. A disease that affected all children between the ages of 8 to 14. Over 90% of the population died of the disease. Those who survived were given powers. Each power corresponds with a different color. Greens are geniuses. Blues are telekinetic. Yellows are electrokinetic. Reds are pyrokinetic. Oranges are mind controllers. Reds are relatively rare. They possess immense destructive potential. Therefore, they are used by the government to destroy and execute multiple people. However, one managed to change the doctor's mind. At 16 years old, she was sent to Caledonia, along with other Psi children. There, she blended in with the other children. One year later, the breakout happened, and she escaped with a group of kids just like her. My name is Lily Anderson. This is my story.
