I’m Savanna James. Loner, outsider, whatever you want to call it, I have no friends, and that’s okay with me. Or at least, it was. Everything changed the day I met the Patton brothers.

He turned me into a scientific experiment, forced to perform like a circus monkey and donate tubes of blood weekly.
