Synopsis: Concealed

(No longer in the running for NaNo as I changed the idea to this story half way through.)

Neira Collins wants a normal life, something she knows she can never have. Born with powerful abilities, Neira must hide from the government, who wants her captured or dead. Unable to get a job or a house because of the government’s brand on her skin, she seeks refuge in a concrete sanctuary underground with people of her own kind.

She is forced to resort to thieving to survive. In the middle of a heist, she runs into Adarin—a boy with information on her parent’s and his parent’s deaths. Realizing that their parents were scientists working for the government, they set out to discover the truth behind the murders.

Neira soon finds that the mission is more dangerous than they had realized. The government had created a weapon—a pill that could control people with abilities and use them against each other. Knowing that they cannot win against the corruption, Neira tries to disappear before the government can catch her—forcing her to kill her own kind.
