Description
After genetic adaptation turns Sally Jenkins and a group of others into mutants, they're taken to a facility called the Underground. There, she is faced with her true power, a destroyer of man. A power she neither understands nor can control. With the help of other Enhanced, she escapes from the Underground but the world she knew was no longer the same. A deadly virus ravages the country, hunters roam the cities selling enhanced children at the highest bidder. In the midst of all this chaos, she has to help save the world while trying to keep the darkness in her at bay. She has to accept who she is and the ability she's given or watch the world burn. *********** The cafeteria was quiet now. I could feel eyes watching me but my anger was boiling over. The pounding in my head increased and I clenched my fist. This was all her fault. I was stuck down here and it was all her fault. I would never see my parents again and she was to blame for it. My eyes teared up and I clenched my fist harder, my nails were digging into my skin. My chest rose and fell as I panted. I tried to control my anger but I couldn't. The tables in the room started to shake, my soup bowl vibrated on my table, spilling soup on the floor. Margot jumped out of her seat. "Sally, calm down." She reached out to me in a placating manner. "I can't," I said through gritted teeth. "I don't know how to stop it." My stomach churned as I looked at everyone in the room. They were moving as far away as they could get. I felt it again. The sensation I always felt when I was out of my collar, the tingling in my skin, the warmth in my chest and then I knew I'd broken out of my collar again. Margot looked terrified as she froze in front of me. "S-Sally, your hands." ✓#1 of the Storm series
