... am I bleeding?
I open my eyes to darkness. Total darkness. I hear my own
breathing, but nothing else. And... and I cant move. Curved
bars, cool and rough, hold my wrists by my sides. I roll my
hands, trying to slip free, but the bars are so tight they scrape
against my skin.
Mom?
The word sounds too loud, almost a scream. Something is
wrong. My voice sounds odd... kind of muffled.
Mom doesnt answer.
Dad?
Nothing.
I pull harder, but its not only my wrists that cant move
something holds my ankles, and my hips are pinned so tight I
cant even turn.
This isnt my bedroom. This isnt my house. My parents arent
here.
My chest seems to squeeze in, as if it is clamping down on my
hammering heart. My body tingles, every ounce of me screaming Get up! Getupgetupgetup!
Is anyone there?
Nothing.
Someone help me. This is...
My breath catches.
I dont know my own name.
I thrash and pull, yank desperately at the unforgiving bars
holding me down.
Someone, help me!
No one answers.
I scream so hard it tears at my throat. Someone had to hear
that. Someone has to come get me, come help me.
I wait.

Still nothing.
I lift my headmy forehead clonks against something solid
and unmoving. Thats why my voice sounded funny: there is a
board right in front of my face.
No, not a board... a lid.
Padding beneath me and at my sides.
I am in...
... oh no, oh no...
... am I in a coffin?
Help! Somebody get me out of here!
The pain that woke me plunges into my neck again, a sting so
deep it locks me up, all tight-eyed and rigid and frozen.
I am trapped in the dark and something is biting me.
(If you run, your enemy will hunt you. Kill your enemy, and
you are forever free.)
That thought seems familiar, a memory that stuck. Rage blossoms, gives me the focus to move despite my agony, gives me the
strength to try harder. I pull and push, lift and twist. I focus all
my strength on my right handpull, dammitthe skin of my
wrist tears against the rough material, but I have to get out....
Pull, push, twist, yank, harder and harder until my coffin rattles.
I feel the bar crack. I can move my right hand more. Only a
little, but I can move it more.
The sting slides deeper into my neck, and I cry out.
No one came before, no one will come now.
Will it hit a lung? Pierce my heart?
Will I die?
I jerk so hard the bones in my wrists grind against the bars
holding them down. I hear another small crack, then another
my right hand flies free.
I slide my fingers up my body to my neck, blindly grab at the
Sigl_9780553393101_3p_all_r1.j.indd 5

thing slicing into me. My hand locks down on wetness, slickness, a cold snake that moves and wiggles. Its trying to slither
away, but I have it and I wont let go. I yank it to my mouth and
bite down, taste something horrid, crush my teeth together so
hard my jaw hurts. I thrash my head, I bite hardersomething
inside of it crunches.
It falls limp in my hand and mouth. I fling it aside, then spit,
trying to get that vile taste off my tongue.
Right hand to left wrist. I grab the restraint. Its surface crumbles at my touch, powder falling away to reveal pitted hardness
beneath. Right hand yanking, left fist lifting, the cracking sound
comes quickly and my left hand is free.
Both hands grab the bar that curves across my waist. I attack
it, push-pull-push-pull-push-pull, making the whole coffin shake
around me. The bar breaks.
Now for my feet.
The lid is so close to my face and chest that my hands can
reach down only to my thighs. Im wearing some kind of short
skirt? I must reach farther, must keep trying. I have to get out,
whatever it takes. I twist to my right hip, use the ankle restraints
as resistance to wiggle my body lower, reach down with my left
hand. My shoulder and face drag against the coffins smooth lid,
pulling at my cheek and nose and closed eye, but even then my
fingers barely touch my knees.
I must pull harder, harder, I must keep fighting, must get out
of the darkness. If I cant reach my feet, I will die here alone and
screaming and
my fingertip brushes the rough bars pinning my ankles. So
close, just a little farther. Contorted muscles and twisted bones
vibrate with pain as I wedge in even tighter, but finally my left
hand grips a bar. Grab and shake and yank, must get loose...
Crack, crackboth feet come free.

way... doors, maybe? They look heavy and solid, but I dont
see any handles.
Something at the foot of my coffin catches my eye. A flat area,
about the size of my hand, surrounded by dozens of small
bumps, all of it hazed in puffy gray.
I reach out, trembling, and brush dust from one of the small
shapes. Its a jewel: deep orange, glowing like frozen fire.
I wipe clear the flat area. Its engraved with seven letters and
one period.
M. Savage
Is that my name?
I hear something. A small sound. Very quiet, very faint. It
makes me think of being trapped in the dark, and then I realize
why.
Its a girls scream, coming from inside another coffin.

y wobbly legs still cant quite support me. I lean on the coffins to stay on my feet, stumble my way toward the scream.
Each step kicks up a small cloud of dust, as if I am the first
person ever to set foot here.
The noisy coffin is halfway up the left-hand row. As I get
closer, I can make out faint words coming from within.
Help me! Mommy, get me out of here!
I put my hand on the dust-caked lid. I feel tiny vibrations: the
girl inside is struggling. I think of that long, bloody needle jutting from the white tube.
With big swipes, I brush the dust from her coffin, accidentally
creating a brief fog. The polished carvings gleam under the
lights.
I rap my knuckles on the lid; her screaming stops.
Calm down, I say. Ill try and get you out.
There is a pause. Then she speaks, the coffin cutting the
volume of her words but not the desperation they carry.

I lift the weapon over my head, then smash it against the lid.
It makes a dull thud when it hits, denting the dark material,
making the whole lid vibrate off a hovering sheen of dust.
It feels good to hit something. Really good. I swing again,
harder this time, feel my lip curl into a snarl as the metal strikes
home. Again and again, each time harder than the last, smashing
a carving of a big cat, crushing a stepped pyramid, chipping
away the polished surface to reveal white wood beneath.
Finally, something breaks: the lid splits down the middle. The
long halves slide to the coffins sides, revealing an older girl with
long, thick, curly red hair spilled across her face. Her eyes
squeeze shut against the light. Crimson bars pin her down. Shes
wearing a white shirt thats too small for her, an embroidered
red tie, and a short plaid skirt.
Shes breathing fast. Her face is wrinkled up and her head is
twitching a little, like she thinks someone is about to hit her but
she cant see the blow coming and cant run away.
Em? Is that you?
I take her hand in mine. Her grip is weak, but her skin is
warm and soft.
Its me, I say. Its okay.
Thank you, Em, oh, thank you. Can you undo these bars?
I can. Stay very still.
A couple of carefully aimed strikes from my weapon are all it
takes to shatter the brittle old metal.
She lifts her hands to her chest, rubs at her wrists. The skin
there is barely scuffed at alldid she even try to fight her way
free?
Hold on, I say, let me help you out of there.
I set the weapon down.
I help her sit up, help her ease out of the coffin. Its a challenge, because shes so weak and Im barely stronger than she is.

She puts one foot down to stand, but her legs wont support
hershe falls into me, sending us both tumbling. We land in a
dust-puffing heap, still holding each other.
We dont move. We lie there for a moment, shivering, clinging
together, coughing slightly. She holds me tight, so tight that I
know we feel the same way: neither of us understands whats
happening, but we are not alone, and for that we are deeply
grateful.

Her short plaid skirt shows almost all of her legs. They are long
and shapely, not knobby-kneed twigs like mine. Maybe someday
I will have legs like hers. The sleeves of her white shirt end just
past her elbows. At her chest, the top two buttons are missing,
showing the curve of her breasts. Shes probably embarrassed by
that. Im embarrassed for her; it makes me uncomfortable.
We lie there, unmoving, dust motes swirling in the air.
Her hair is so long. I reach to my own head, feel that my hair
is tied back in a heavy braid. I pull it around and look at itits
black and thick. The braid hangs down to my waist. It feels so
silky, like it was recently brushed.
Someone put me in a coffin and fixed my hair? A shiver slides
across my skin.
Maybe its okay. Maybe Mom brushed it. Or Dad. But if it
was them, did they do that right before they sealed me in and left
me to die?
The red-haired girl finally opens her eyes a little, blinking slits
that show me their color: a deep green.
She blinks away tears. She sniffs, wipes at her nose.
You saved me, she says. You set me free. Thank you, Em.
She sits up. She brushes her thick hair behind her left ear, then
her right. When she does, I see something on her forehead.
A black circle, as wide as the distance between her eyes, made
of a material that clearly isnt her and yet is also a part of her at
the same time. The dark color stands in stark contrast against
her white-pink skin. The outside of the circle is smooth. The inside is kind of jagged, with stubby points sticking inward. Eight
of them, evenly spaced apart. Stubby points... kind of like...
Like teeth.
Shes a tooth-girl.
I feel a surge of emotion. Tooth-girls... they made fun of me
in school... didnt they? I cant remember my school. And I
Sigl_9780553393101_3p_all_r1.j.indd 18
4/28/15 11:05 AM

cant remember why the tooth-girls ridiculed me, only how their
words and glares and jokes made me feel: small, unimportant,
worthless.
I hate her.
No... I dont even know this girl. At least I dont think I do.
Were in this together. I will not hate her because of some decoration on her skin.
Waitdo I have one?
My free hand flies to my forehead. I feel something embedded
there. A circle, like hers, but smooth, both inside and out. There
are no stubby points, no teeth.
Our fingers remain locked. Her skin is warm, the only warm
thing in this cold room.
Im afraid, she says. What is this place?
I dont know.
My fingertips lightly trace the shape that marks my skin.
She sees me doing that, reaches to her forehead. Her eyes
widen with discovery.
I have one, too, she says. Yours is a plain circle, but mine
feels different on the inside. Bumps or something... what are
they?
Teeth, I want to say, because youre a tooth-girl.
But I dont say that. I like her, and she seems to like me. I
dont want her to know that phrase in case it makes her remember something and not like me anymore.
They look like stubby bits, I say.
She waits for me to keep going, but I dont know any other
way to describe what I see.
She thinks for a moment. She shrugs. We both have symbols.
I dont know what they mean.
Neither do I.
She looks around the room, taking it all in.

Or... are my breasts too big for my shirt? I feel them. They
werent this size before... were they? No, they werent. Im sure
of it. I cant remember anything, but I know my body has
changed.
The red-haired girl stares at me intensely. I realize Im touching myself right in front of her. I look away, put my hands in my
lap.
She feels her own chesther eyes widen with surprise. What
happened? They werent like this before.
I shake my head. Same with me.
So, you say youre twelve, she says. You look nineteen,
maybe twenty. You look like a grown woman.
So do you.
She nods slightly. She looks off, glancing at nothing in particular. Her lips twitch, like shes saying half-words that I cant
hear.
It doesnt make sense, she says finally. We need more information. Until then, we have to believe what our eyes show
us.
She again cups her breasts. She isnt ashamed at all; shes
measuring, thinking.
The corners of her mouth curve up in a small grin.
I cant recall what I asked for, but Im pretty sure I wasnt
expecting these as a present, she says. Maybe its a good birthday after all. I mean, other than being locked up in the dark.
Her fascination and delight with her bodys unexpected
change hasnt completely taken the fear out of her eyes. She
reaches up, touches one of the carvings on her coffin lid. A
jaguar, I think it is, one eye smashed and splintered from where
I hit it.
Some of these images seem familiar, she says. I cant place
them, but... well, theyre familiar.

move. I feel a rush of panic that Spingate will wake himI need
to be the one who does it.
Go open the other coffins, I tell her.
She looks at me. She seems confused. She looks at OMalley
again.
Spingate, hurry up about it, I say. We dont know how
much time we have.
She sighs. She likes looking at him, too, and its hard for her
to look away. She does, though. She pulls the tool free and walks
to the next coffin.
I stare down at OMalley. His hair looks so soft. His mouth is
slightly open, his full lips moving with each breath. When Spingate smiled for the first time, I thought she was the most beautiful thing that could ever be.
I was wrong.
I hear Spingate brush dust away from a metal plate.
This one is... oh, Im not sure, she says. I think its...
Air-ah-mov-sky?
Something about that grabs my attention.
What are the last few letters?
It ends with an S, a K and a Y, she says.
My breath catches, because I remember something. A name.
A name of a... oh, what is it, its right there, tickling my
thoughts... of a musician. Yes! A musician, with a name that
ended in an S, a K and a Y.
Tchaikovsky.
Its not sky, I say. Its skee.
I go back to staring at OMalley.
Aramovskee, Spingate says. Can I open it?
Why does she keep asking for my permission?
Sure, go ahead.
I hear her working at something. I reach out a finger, gently

Maybe shes sick. Bello has long blond hair, so thin that if you
walk by her coffin a few strands slowly move as if hit by a breeze.
The symbol on her forehead is a single circle, exactly like mine.
The last one, J. Yong, is another boy. His tan skin looks
smooth and soft. He has thick black hair, as black as Aramovskys
but straight rather than curly. It hangs down to his eyes, covering his symbol. I brush the hair back to see it: a black circle with
a solid five-pointed star inside.
Savage, Spingate, OMalley, Aramovsky, Bello, Yong. Other
than Brewer, I dont know the names of the dead and I dont
careto.
Broken eggs dont matter.
Everyonecorpses and the living alikewears the same style
of clothing: button-down white shirt, red tie, black pants or a
red and black plaid skirt.
And there is something else: everyone is beautiful. Beyond
beautiful... perfect.
OMalley is the most attractive of the boys, but its a close
thing. All three of them have strong features, square jaws, thick
necks, muscular bodies. If they were awake, I bet they could run
forever. I bet they could lift anything. They could probably lift
me as easily as they can breathe.
Spingate and Bello have curvy shapes, beautiful hair, flat
stomachs and firm legs. They are flawless. I cant remember any
details of my school, but I am haunted by echoes of feelings I
had looking at older girls like them. I felt so awkward. I knew I
would never have a body like theirs. Those girls always looked
so confident.
Now I have firm legs and a flat stomach, just like Spingate
and Bello, just like those girls I cant quite remember. I have
breasts, too, but I still dont feel confident because this isnt me.

though his eyes are still closed. He lands on his side, hands over
his ears, elbows together and touching his tucked-up knees.
I look back to OMalley.
He squints and blinks against the light, but he is looking right
at me.
The survivors are awake.
The eggs have hatched.

hey dont know their names. They dont know why theyre
here. They dont know where we are.
The only thing they know for sure is that today is their birthday.
Aramovsky is the loudest, demanding information more than
asking questions. I get the feeling that he thinks maybe Spingate
and I were the ones who put him in the coffin in the first place.
Yong keeps glancing at his own arms, flexing them slightly, a
smile teasing the corners of his mouth when his muscles strain
the white fabric. Between those glances, he glares at all of us like
were not to be trusted, like we know whats going on and were
playacting together to keep him in the dark.
Bello is very quietshe seems afraid to talk. Shes the smallest
of us. She looks fragile. Im sure the boys could have broken out
of their coffins if they had awoken to darkness and pain. Spingate, too, maybe, if she hadnt convinced herself it was impossible. But Bello? She would have been trapped in there forever,
until she died and shriveled up like Brewer.

OMalley watches me and Spingate, but he doesnt seem suspicious, or angry. When someone talks, he looks at them the
way Spingate looks at the tool or the jewel-controls: hes analyzing, hes measuring.
I tell the others what happened between the time I got out of
my coffin and when Spingate shocked them awake. Since she
and I have been up for maybe thirty minutes more than they
have, it doesnt take long to cover everything.
When I stop talking, I wait for them to respond. They dont.
Spingate doesnt make a sound. She pretends to study the jeweled rod so she doesnt have to look at anyone.
Thats it, I say. Thats all we know.
The four newcomers stare at me. I woke up alone, had to
figure things out for myself. In a way, they have it harder: they
awoke as a blank slate, naturally assuming the people waiting
for them would explain what was happening. Which, of course,
Spingate and I cant do.
OMalley scratches at his temple. His deep-blue eyes drill
intome.
So thats all you know, he says. Thats it?
I nod.
Then you dont know much.
He doesnt say it accusingly. Its a fact.
We, I say. We dont know much.
He nods slowly. We. Yes, we.
There is strength in that word.
Yong shakes his head and looks off, disgusted.
Bello stares at every person in turn, as if shes waiting for
someone to do something. To do anything. No one does. Her
eyes are striking, green at the outer edges that blends to an
orange-brown around the black dot of the iris. Finally, her eyes
settle on me.

I feel something I havent felt yet: anger. I dont like the way
Yong looks at me, the way he seems to dismiss me.
We hear a grumble, a muffled sound that rolls fast, then slow,
then faster and louder.
All heads turn to where that sound came from: Spingates
stomach.
Oh, she says. Her hands cover her exposed belly. She
blushes. Sorry. I guess Im hungry.
The last word seems to unlock something in me, reveal a
pinching emptiness in my middle. It was there all along, I think,
but my brain didnt process it. Maybe I was too busy thinking
about all the other things that are wrong to realize that Im
starving.
I see other hands on other bellies. Everyone is hungry.
Bellos right, I say. We dont know whats out there. But
we know whats not in herefood.
We look at each other in unspoken understanding. Waiting is
not an option.
Theres no water here, either, Spingate says. Water is even
more important than food. She looks up and to the left, her
nose wrinkling. I think thats right.
Aramovsky tugs at the sleeves of his white shirt. He fidgets
with it constantly, as if on guard against a crease sneaking up on
him.
Why dont you go, Em? he says. You can find food and
water, bring it back for us. We can wait here in case the grownups come.
Yong makes a pfft sound with his mouth.
Youre a brave one, Aramovsky, he says.
Aramovsky glares at Yong. Its not about bravery, its about
practicality.

Yong rolls his eyes. Yeah, thats what it is. Practicality. Then
how about you go, Aramovsky? The rest of us can stay and be
practical.
Aramovsky draws himself up to his full height. He is much
taller than the other boy.
Dont you tell me what to do, he says.
Yongs arms uncross. His hands drop to his sides, curl into
fists.
You volunteer others, but you wont go yourself? Then how
about I make you go?
Yong smiles. Its a beautiful smile, the kind that would make
me want to follow him around all day from a distance, just to
see what he does, see who he talks to. But his eyes... they radiate something else altogether. Aramovsky is taller and both boys
are packed with muscle, but Yong wants to fightAramovsky
does not. Maybe Aramovsky tried to use his size to intimidate,
but it backfired on him and now he doesnt know what to do.
We stay together, I say in a rush. We arent making anyone do anything, okay?
Aramovsky nods quickly. Ems right.
Yong again stares at me. I get the impression Im annoying
him.
OMalley tries for the tenth time to pull his top two shirt buttons together, even though he has to know by now his chest is
too big for that. He gives up, instead keeps a hand pressed near
his neck, as if hes embarrassed so much skin is showing.
He looks at me.
Em, why do you get to choose what we do? Are you in
charge?
There is no malice in his voice. Hes not accusing me of anything; hes asking a question that needs to be asked.
I dont know, I say.

one else did that. Then she freed Spingate. The two of them got
the rest of us out. Without Em, we all might still be asleep. Or,
worse, awake and trapped in the coffins.
Yong frowns. He seems confused, as if he expected any disagreement to involve shouting and pushing, not simple rea
soning. OMalley isnt even arguing with Yong, hes simply
presenting facts.
So she got us out, Yong says. So what? She has no idea
whats going on. Getting us out of the coffins doesnt mean shes
a good leader.
OMalley thinks on this for a moment, really considering it,
then nods.
Thats true, it doesnt mean shes a good leader, he says.
But she didnt panic. When Spingate called for help, Em helped
her. Em told all of us what was happening and didnt pretend
that she knew more than she did. Dont you think those are
qualities wed want in a leader?
Yong says nothing.
I wouldnt have thought those things made me a leader, but
the way OMalley pointed them out makes it sound so obvious.
Maybe Yong wants to argue, but theres nothing to argue
against.
Whatever, he says, and leans on a coffin. He looks away,
taking in the aisle of dust as if it bores him only slightly less than
we do.
Spingate walks to me, offers me the tool. She doesnt need to
say whythe leader should carry it.
You can be in charge, Em, she says. She looks at Bello and
Aramovsky. Dont you think Em should be in charge?
A tooth-girl wants me to lead? My blurry memories tell me
thats an impossibility, and yet I see it with my own eyes.
