I looked at the young faces around me, Dr. Tomsin (A/N: Dr. Tomsin is a guy). Most of them sixteen a few seventeen year olds were mixed in with them. I sighed, sometimes in my line of work it felt like these kids just didn't care. If they didn't then why should? What does it matter if they wreck their lives? I took another long look at these young adults and remembered when I was their age. I wasn't exactly a good kid either, but I grew up, and now I help others with problems. Maybe a few of these kids will be like that. I almost chuckled to myself at the thought. I may not have been perfect, and at thirty-five I'm still not, but these kids were hard core criminals. These kids were from Perdido Beach.
Everyone knew what had happened to them two and a half years ago. The Barrier had come down about ten months ago. The radiation had given almost fifty percent of the children living around there strange mutations. After the worlds greatest scientists had developed a way to extract the radiation from the soil, and the barrier had come down the world was horrified by what they had found.
Many of the kids had become junkies, drunks, and worst of all murderers. With the radiation gone all the children lost their powers. Some kids like Sam Temple had almost been relieved. The others like his fraternal twin brother Caine Soren for example had been irate. Another group hadn't really cared and had just been relieved to be reunited with their parents and out of the nightmare that they were living in.
Due to the circumstances the worst punishment any of them had received so far was eight months in prison, and that had been for Caine Soren. Drake Merwin would have gotten a worse punishment, but apparently he like many others had died during the plague. Diana Ladris had been sentenced to six months. Though she had spent her time wisely. She had written a book about the FAYZ.
Diana hadn't written any direct lies, but somehow while keeping true to the facts had made herself, and her boyfriend, Caine seem almost faultless. Like they really had just been trying to do the right thing, but going about it in the wrong way. Yet she still had been true to her and Caine's personality. She had made a very large sum of money off of it too. Not to mention all the interviews she, Caine, and Sam had done. Sam had only agreed to the interviews because he wanted to make sure that the world knew thee truth about his brother, and Diana. To make sure nobody made the mistake of trusting them.
Then the kids of the FAYZ were sent to different places like this around the country. This is a rehabilitation center for troubled youth. We, myself included, are some of the best psychiatrists in the world, and had taken about ten, maybe more, of these kids. Including Sam, Caine, Astrid, and Diana. At first I didn't think putting these particular people in the same place was a good idea, but nobody ever listens to me. My superiors had decided that we may need them to have sessions together eventually, and that this would be most convenient.
Today after this session, which ended in about seven minuets by the way, Caine, and Diana would be introduced to the class. My regular group had twelve people in it already. I didn't know how the group would react to the newcomers. Or how the newcomers would react to them for that matter. All I knew about the personalities of Caine, and Diana was that Caine was controlling, and Diana was manipulative.
BBBBBRRRRIIINNNNGGGG!
Now to meet a murderer and his accomplice. Joy. Maybe Mom was right about my work being the death of me.
A/N: I hope you liked the story so far, and don't worry the next chapter will have much more dialogue. I am a series fan of the Gone books and was rather disappointed by the lack of Gone fanfics. So I am going to remedy the problem, and hope that after the next book comes out Gone will get some more fans.
