Lorelai Ruse, a teenager in the technology driven Society called TECH, finds that she has the Gene, a genetic malfunction. She has spent her whole life with only one mission: to keep the Gene hidden for fear that what curses through her blood will only result in her death. Lorelai believed that she could live with the secret behind closed doors, but just as she starts to integrate herself into the Society, her father gets promoted as a TECH Official and realizes that there is no way she can keep this deadly secret hidden much longer.
She fights to stay "normal" and unnoticed by the leader, but as the Gene tries its hardest to override the system programmed in her very being, pain, terror, and fear awaken to torment her. The secrets she knows that could never get released to the leader were now threatening to be released. When she thinks that there is nothing to do but give up, Lorelai finds out that the minority group, the Lessers, have started to revolt against the High Official and are ultimately creating problems in the High Official's order. She believed that the secret would be safe behind locked doors, but a series of sudden events push her to find out the truth; why does she have it and why does it pose such a threat against the High Official? With these questions on her mind, she seeks the Lessers out to demand why she stands out from the rest.
And while the High Official starts to put the pieces together, Lorelai quickly finds out that Lessers have the answers that she wished to have her whole life.
But, what Lorelai doesn't know and is soon to find out, is that they also have the ones she never knew she could search for.

Anomaly
First book in the subject 001 series Subject 001 was never meant to exist. Born from E.D.E.N.'s most ambitious experiment and abandoned just as quickly, Ellie is the girl whispered about in locked rooms and classified files-the mistake too powerful to control, the anomaly that terrifies even the people who created her. After a lifetime of confinement, Ellie escapes into a world she was taught to fear, only to discover it's nothing like the sterile halls she grew up in. With Ava, Mia, Noah, and Liam-kids just as broken, brilliant, and dangerous as she is-Ellie begins to unravel the truth behind the experiments that stole their childhoods. But E.D.E.N. isn't done with them. Hunted by the Governor and the adults who shaped them, manipulated by shadows wearing familiar faces, and haunted by the dark promise Henry whispers about destroying E.D.E.N. together, Ellie is forced into a deadly game of survival where trust is a luxury and power is a curse. As her abilities grow-and her memories return-Ellie must face the truth buried in her bloodline: She wasn't created to save the world. She was created to end it. And in the fight between what she was made to be and who she chooses to become... only one version of her can survive. ----------------------------------- W A R N I N G T H I S S T O R Y C O N T A I N S : → Mild Violence →explicit language → Mild Child neglect ------------------- H I G H E S T R A N K I N G S : 546 #dystopian 25 #Anomaly (most impressive ranking) 2 #powerfulgirl 6 #undergroundworld 2 #geneticengineering ---------------- S T A R T E D →18/8/25 C O M P L E T E → 10/9/25 WORD COUNT : 22.8kComplete

There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence.

TWISTED // Clato | ✓
Seventy-four years has been long enough. The way of the infamous Hunger Games has been altered. No longer is every Gamemaker out to devise the worst means of torture and death for every tribute. No longer are the people of Panem outwardly tolerant of President Snow's murderous actions. Under the facade of a normal group of Gamemakers, several rebellious citizens have begun an experiment which, if it succeeds, will make use of technology both to rescue the tributes before they are dead and then deposit the brainwashed children back in time. They have to try it. No one knows what horrors future Hunger Games may bring, and the desperate rebels are willing to try anything. Meanwhile, in the mountainous regions of District 2, Cato Hadley and Clove Kentwell have trained their whole lives for the Games. Nevertheless, their ambitions change when they, without meaning to, find themselves in the Games together. They are both determined to win. But if they don't, what will happen to them? The brainwashed tributes who land in New York City know nothing of who they are or where they are from. They do not remember Panem, or the Games, or even their own names. This is a science fiction story based off the Hunger Games and its characters. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Hunger Games! This story is based around a plot twist I created, but all rights go to Suzanne Collins, the author of the original series. Disclaimer no. 2: this was a first draft written by a very awkward fifteen-year-old me; please treat it as such.
