Prologue
(Just read it)
I'm screwed. I am screwed. All I see are a bunch of blurry faces over me. Then, they black out and start to look like dementors from Harry Potter. I can only make out a few faces. Let's see. Lia, Andrea, Gianna, Thomas, Dean and Will Oh god.. Will. Suddenly, My vision is blacked out. I use all my might to slowly sit up and open my eyes. To my surprise, everyone is now clear but it is really bright. Like I just woke up facing the sun. I reach my hand to my shoulder and feel blood running all the way down my body. I think I am still alive. I start to fall back but Will catches me. He is closest to me and I grab hold of his arm so that I don't fall again. A lady is rushing over to us now. She has a needle with an injection that is supposed to make me better in about 8 minutes. They inject it and Will tries to talk to me while Lia bursts out crying and reaches over to be comforted by Gianna. The lady tries to find something that will stop the blood that keeps flowing like it will never stop. Will starts to remove his shirt and, thankfully, he is wearing a suit so he has a blue shirt under his button-down collared shirt. The mysteriously helpful lady reaches down and is just about to press the shirt on my wounded shoulder when a feel a hand slip into mine. It's a bony hand and I figure it is Lia's. She must be really worried. I use what energy I have left to squeeze her hand back before the shirt touches my wound and I start screaming like a banshee. I am screaming in the now dark again room. People surround me. I am aware that medics are probably on their way over now. But I am loosing blood. Very fast. Drive quickly I wish while still screaming my head off. I try to silence myself and every time a new burst of pain shoots through my arm and my mouth just opens with a violent noise. I should be a bit used to it, because of the recent happenings in my life. Boy, this is a story to tell. Sit back and prepare for a dangerous ride.

Chapter 1
February 27, 2034
Okay. Breath. Breath. They aren't here for you. It's okay. Breath. I am in the orphanage with my little cousin Tommy. He is shaking uncontrollably so I put my hand in his and continue to freak out on the inside. WICKED has come for us. Soon, the Erudite will be here as well. The Death Eaters already came for us and almost succeeded in bringing us to the Capitol.  But I hid with Tommy. He is only 3 years old and has already been introduced to the terror of Combination. Combination is scary and dangerous.  Our world is unknown. I don't know much about combination but I do know that some pysco decided to take all her favorite books and make them real. I think her name was Nora Townteyn or something and her favorite books consist of Divergent, Harry Potter, The Maze Runner, and the Hunger Games.  I never thought she would get very far with her mission to create a fantasy world. She turned what was once a society (although it was a shitty one), into a storyland. She rounded up the people who didn't want to live in what was reality. The people who would rather have a high position in the fairytale she planned on creating. She obviously succeeded, as I noticed when the Death Eaters first came.  My only question is why. Why did they come? What could they possibly want from me or Tommy?  I'm pulled out of my thoughts by a light tap on the shoulder. It's Dean, one of my best guy friends. We are like a brother and a sister, although Tommy says he would like us to be married. Dean always laughs, but I can't tell if he would ever want anything else in our relationship other than being friends. Anyway, he  comes up to me and puts a finger to his lips, warning us to stay silent. I nod and Tommy lets out a small sniffle. Then he leans close to me, close to my ear so the approaching WICKED members won't hear us.  My heart starts beating faster as his breath falls onto my ear.  "Blaire, we'll get out of here. I hacked WICKED's security system and found that there are 3 men outside the front door, 2 women on each side and a woman with 2 men out back. There might be a way out from the attic, but it will be tough for Tommy to get through."  His dark brown eyes shoot me a concerned look when I pull away, shocked. We cannot leave Tommy. I promised my aunt I would watch over him.  She had to leave to go fight in the battle that came pounding through our town.  The scream of a man from inside the orphanage pulls me out of my thoughts and reminds me we have
to move quickly. Dean looks at me, expecting a decision. So I give him one.
