The Festival Of The Moon (Girls Wearing Black: Book Two) - Plot & Excerpts
She shook her arm and the mosquito flew away, never having bothered to latch on. It was a fringe benefit they never told you about—become immortal and mosquitoes have no interest in your blood. “Time to go, kids!” Melissa shouted into the open atrium behind her. Aiden, a blonde boy whose face was covered in freckles, was the first of tonight’s crew to come through the door. The oldest of the lot, Aiden had turned eighteen more than five months ago. Melissa had never figured out what was wrong with Aiden, but she could smell it on him from the moment he arrived. He wasn’t suitable for immortal consumption. There was something sour about him, some genetic defect that had gone undiagnosed during his medical exam. His blood would have none of the richness that the modern immortal craved. He was like a rotten piece of fruit—if you were starving you could eat it and get some nourishment, but why bother when you could just have something fresh? Decades ago, when the Farm first opened, Melissa would have reprogrammed Aiden for long-term slavery.
