His vision of me is somehow wrapped up in who he is and he’s never going to let that go. The thing is, I’m not sure there’s anything I could say to him to make him understand. Pretty tough, yeah, that’s one way to put it. Your father is pretty tough right? If you could sit down with him and make him see reason, what would you say to him? Changes the whole picture, but also makes everything else fall into place. It was like getting a piece of the puzzle I didn’t know I was missing. It made certain things about her make more sense.

Zane, meeting Ariane and finding out what she is must have been shocking. If you can describe Zane in one word what would it be? Of my father’s Rules? I would not keep any of them willingly, though I suspect that “Never trust anyone” will be a difficult one for me to completely disregard from now on. If there was one rule you want to keep for yourself, which would it be? Just awareness that not all Rules are the same.) I think everyone has to look at the life they’re living and decide which Rules are actually keeping them safe and which ones are just making their existence smaller and shallower in the name of safety. But they were also meant to keep me in place, both a physical location and a state of mind, simply because that was easier for others. So, yes, the Rules were meant to protect me. There’s a difference between surviving and living. As much as you don’t like them, they were set to keep you safe. Was breaking the rules worth it? Rules have always been a part of your life. Regardless of my heritage, this place, these people are my home. I think I’d just want to find a way to be useful, preferably outside the context of a laboratory environment. It’s never been something I’ve allowed myself to consider. If your life was your own, what would you pursue?

Today I have interviews with both Ariane and Zane!Īriane, everything that you know is a lie. Suddenly, nothing is simple anymore, especially not the rules… After years of trying to be invisible, Ariane finds the attention frightening-and utterly intoxicating. Ariane’s survival-and that of her adoptive father-depends on her ability to blend in among the full-blooded humans in a small Wisconsin town, to hide in plain sight at her high school from those who seek to recover their lost (and expensive) “project.”īut when a cruel prank at school goes awry, it puts her in the path of Zane Bradshaw, the police chief’s son and someone who sees too much. Ariane Tucker has followed them since the night she escaped from the genetics lab where she was created, the result of combining human and extraterrestrial DNA.
