Cover designed by Annax2x Warmth. That was the first thing I felt as the new blood went through my body. Then I felt my new heart, beating, like a song. I felt the cold bed that I lay still on. I hear voices. A girl and then a boy. I open my eyes to see a light shining brightly into my sensitive new eyes. The voices are still talking but I can't make out what was being said. But something's weird. I don't know who I am. I don't know anything about myself. I try to sit up but can't, I can't feel anything. It's like there isn't any nerves or bones in my body, the only thing I can move are my eyes. The room I'm in is bare of any humans, it also has machines that are beeping and ticking every second. Suddenly, a woman in a white doctors coat walks in holding a clipboard. A man wearing a black suit follows her into the room. As if I wasn't there, the woman says, "Subject 01 is our first artificial life, and might be the only one for some time" Responding, the man says, "Then let's start the testing shall we?"

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
