[Please read warnings and A/N.] No one really knows when it started, or how it got this bad--but the walls got higher as the infection spread. The numbers peaked and children went missing, nothing but a faint memory left behind as people fled in fright. For Leo Daney, all he knew was he wasn't allowed to leave the laboratory. As his curiosity peaks about what's beyond the walls of the city--Leo is rescued along with the other 20 teens in the lab, by a strange group who seemingly wants to take down the only home he's ever known. Now Leo is facing the dangers of the land beyond the walls, 3 handsome boys who seem to be all he can think about, and a new spark of power that seems to have ignited inside of him. Suddenly his "home" doesn't quite seem like home anymore. ••• slow updates! pleease read authors note/warnings in the beginning
