'Just as quickly as my grin came about, it fades away as i read the next name. Clover Harrisdale. Shit.'
Lennox has always hated the Acristine royal family and their stupid government. He has always hated the rules they enforced, and the ways that they enforced it. A system that ranks people purely on their powers and points is not one that should work. But somehow it does, and Lennox wants to know why. He wakes up one day to find himself surrounded by darkness, no sounds around apart from his heavy breathing. As a light flickers on, he finds himself in a cell. With someone else as well. Lennox is told that in less than ten minutes, five guards, each armed with a gun and sword will be coming to execute him. But why?

However, one day, accompanied by a new friend, she will flee this misery. And at that precise moment, everything will begin to change. Now, hidden on enemy territory, declared dead in her own country, she will meet new people.

Children of the Dead
Enver Williams is leading on a normal life but that is all ripped away from her when she is taken from her home town. When Enver comes to realize that there are others like her in more ways than one, she is determined to free herself and her newfound friends from the physiological torment of her closely supervised enclosure. ••• "Do I make you nervous, Enver?" Another idiotic question. "Wouldn't the man who kidnapped you and threatened to kill you make you nervous?" I snap at him. He only smiles an odd, crooked grin. I can make that disappear. "Wouldn't a murder make you nervous?" Now it's my turn to pull the strings. He looks at me with hurt in his eyes. "How many times do I have to say it?" He pauses, I guess hoping for some sort of mercy in my eyes, "I didn't kill her." "Liar!" I shout. "Why won't you believe me?!" "Would you believe yourself?" "It wasn't me who shot her," he sits on a stool, resting his elbows on his knees. "Then how do you know she was shot?" "I saw it. I saw him kill her," his voice was riddled with such pure vulnerability and pain it begged me to believe him. "Who?" I try to sound sympathetic, but it comes out as scared. Maybe, subconsciously, I am scared.Complete
