We were told, that we were special.
We were told, that we were the fate of the world.
But they lied.

Not long ago, just like any other nightmare of a story, a virus had broken out, wiping the entire world of its... fertility. Women were no longer able to reproduce, it was just impossible. They would go to doctors, hospitals, specialists, everyone and everything that they believed could have helped, and nothing. Pregnant women? The ones who were carrying children before this entire place went to shit? Unfortunately, they miscarried. Every single one of them, days, or even hours after attracting the virus... poof. Gone. No babies, no fetuses, nothing. Oddly, It was as if a baby had never been there. No baby bump, no fertilized eggs.. nothing. Obviously, the world went into a state of panic. And humans being humans, assuming the worst-case scenario, they began to cry out, "it's the end of our race!" Going mad, the human population began throwing raids, destructive, chaotic raids that would rain down upon the innocent. So, when the Government took note of this, they sent out their very.. special scientists out to rally up a group of women, and of course, begin experimenting. It only took them 5 months, to "find a cure." Ignoring the fact it was discovered so soon, people began rushing to every hospital they could to find this so-called, "cure."
But, how could one find a cure, and not test it out? Well. The Scientists who discovered the cure were able to fertilize a specific group of women, who successfully became pregnant. So after the successful pregnancies, the cure was released and given out to the world, and the world went back to normal.. as normal as it could be, anyways. As days went by, the women began to notice that something was wrong. Terribly wrong. They began to notice how quickly their children were growing inside of them, and how their original, 40-week pregnancy turned into a 10-week pregnancy. When the time came, and the women gave birth, unfortunately, the mothers died during childbirth.
It was a depressing time, as all the women around the world began dying during their pregnancies.
As the mothers passed on, their babies were healthy. Completely fine. That was until they would reach the age of 16, and they began shifting. What the scientists didn't know, was with their careless observation and testing, the "cure" was loaded with a bacterial infection that would affect the host of both the baby and the mother. But in this situation, it affected the mother in a negative way, and the baby in a, somewhat positive way.
When the children began to shift, this caught the eye of the government and the bat-shit crazy scientists. And so, a price was put on these children's heads, attempting to gain the world's favor in hunting these things down and bringing them in. Now the only problem is, will they succeed in catching them?
Are you going to sit back and watch as the Government hunts you down, or are you going to fight back?
