PROLOGUE
They don't know, they'll never know. They'll distance themselves from you.
You'll never have any friends, never. You'll keep your secret to yourself,
forever. You'll cry again, won't you? Cry, cry, cry, that's all you're good
for. If you show them, they'll freak out. They'll force you to move again.
Pretty soon you'll have nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Your insecurities
will consume you. You'll hurt people, you'll kill them. Just like you did
to your mother.

My name's Sierra Long. I attend Whetherwater High, Massachusetts. It's not the best school here in Mass, but I'm sure that it's the only boarding school here. Why am I in a boarding school, you ask? Well, I really can't tell you right now, but let's just say I'm not "safe" to touch. The last person who touched me ended up in a coma in Boston.
I consider myself special, or gifted. Not many people possess what I do. At least, I'm not sure yet.
