Chapter 1

I never expected Heaven to be this way It was my own personal utopia, with rivers of the clearest water, and fields of green surrounded by beautiful mountains Every tree bore plurass and listen to the song being sung by the river I never wanted to leave; there was soback to where I had just left, because here I felt no pain

So if I were dead, why did I feel as if I were burning froony and looked around in horror My beautiful garden was turning blackThe soft grass I was lying on turned to sharp pieces of glass The once gorgeous trees turned to ash and bleay in the wind NO! NO! I don’t want to go back

I tried to sit up to stop garden frorass that had turned razor sharp The clear river rippled red like blood and the skies turned dark as night I cried out again as the burning pain indoatched as the blood, e before asped and coughed and felt arden as if I were traveling down a narrow tunnel backwards to collide with a thud on a cold steel table

I had died I knew it I had tasted heaven but ht and noas back in hell Only once again, I couldn’t ave ain to the table I couldn’t open hts, but I could listen and overheard Raven and Crow discuss me

“What h to survive when the others didn’t?” Crow asked

“Because this one’s not like the others Her blood er, more immune She’s the only one of her kind” It was Raven, the leader of the Septori My hands itched to ht

“I hope you’re right because I’ out the failed ones When will you know?” Crohined

“Not for a while It’s going to take weeks of careful injections of the siren serum, plus more sessions on the machine to activate it in her bloodstreae her fros take time,” Raven spoke as if to a dimwitted child

I could i his red hooded robe and his silver mask He alore the mask, unlike the rest of his followers, the Septori

“What about the others?”

I felt the craht off the newest experiment

“We will keep trying the portensi seru one of them will survive the process,” Raven explained

“None have yet,” Crohined again
