Some say we’re special, and that’s why we’re kept in seclusion. Others say the opposite: we’re locked away because there’s something wrong with us. But neither of those reasons explains why it is that they come for us only after we’ve passed the age of sixteen. Whether we want to go or not, we are escorted to our destiny, whatever that destiny may be, never to be seen again.Some say we’re special, and that’s why we’re kept in seclusion. Beyond those walls evil lurks and innocent prey would be lost in minutes. Gone. Destroyed. Forgotten. Others say the opposite: we’re locked away because there’s something wrong with us. If we roamed the outside world, we might taint the beautiful ones. A species so pure, that to merely be in their presence is a gift. As for my beliefs…I’m not sure. But I do know one thing: neither of those reasons explains why it is that they come for us only after we’ve passed the age of sixteen. Whether we want to go or not, we’re taken through those iron gates. Escorted away from the only home we’ve ever known, escorted to our destiny—whatever that destiny may be—never to be seen again.
