Chapter 71: FIVE NAMES, ONE BLANK

ElviraBring one witness with you. I read the line over and over until the words stopped looking like words.Then I folded the slip along its edge and pushed it into the back of my notebook. My hands were steady. That surprised me.A witness to what? The slip didn’t say. It didn’t say who could be one, or what they would have to see. It said one, and bring, and Sunday was coming.I went to breakfast because Eliano told me to, and because Lexa would hunt me down if I didn’t.Daphne and Lexa had saved me a seat at the end of the long table. Daphne slid a plate of toast across without looking up from her porridge. Lexa leaned in close.“Well?” she said. “What does it say?”“Sunday at dusk. The Sealing Moon.”“That’s all?” Daphne looked up. Her glasses were straight today. “Elvira, is that the review?”“Well, that’s what the card says.”This was only part of what I had. I wasn’t going to say the rest yet. I picked up a piece of toast but didn’t eat it.Across the hall, Gideon, Xavier and

Chapter 72: DO IT FOR YOUR MOTHER

ElianoI caught Elvira’s relieved expression when the bell rang over my words. She had just gathered the books on her desk, like she didn’t want to hear the rest of whatever I had to say.I stood in the library doorway while the whole school started to move. She shut the yearbook she had been reading and slid a paper under its cover, fast. Then she picked up her bag.“I’ll be late,” she said.She walked past me close enough that I could smell rain in her hair. She didn’t look at me.“Giamatti.”“Later,” she said, and she was gone.I let her go. I had been about to tell her I did not believe her. I was glad I didn’t say it. At the same time, I was also angry that I hadn’t too.That morning I had put my thumb on her wrist and told her she was not alone. Her mouth had opened, and I had thought, here it comes. Then she said, I’ll remember that. I liked that answer then. From what I see, I don’t like it anymore.I had skipped Wild-Form class. I couldn’t sit through the lesson with that loo

Chapter 73: What Rafael Swore

Rafael I saw the white light before I saw him.It lay across the broken steps of the east wing. It shone bright against the dark stone. I stopped on the path with my hands still in my pockets.At noon I stood in the gatehouse with my father and swore to tell no one what he was about to say. He had kept his promise from the night of the locked book. He gave me the true version, in order, in his calm voice. He didn’t raise it once. Then he asked if I understood what I had sworn, and I said I did.It was not the Sworn oath. I had refused that one, and I would refuse it again. This vow was small. I had told myself this all the way down the path.It didn't feel small. Since noon, every word I wanted to say had to be checked first. I had seen Elvira cross the lawn an hour ago, and I had turned the other way. If I spoke to her, I would say it. I knew myself too well.That morning I had stood beside her at the board and said four words to a hall full of staring students. It had been easy. Ta

Chapter 74: Blood on the Frost

ElviraI lowered my hand. Rafael stood on the step below me and didn't say hello.“I need to tell you something,” I said to him. “You and Eliano. I should have done it days ago.”He waited.I gave him all of it, standing on his doorstep in the last of the light. The Board’s letter, with the words altered mark, and please do not cover it. The card. The slip behind the card. I took the paper out of my notebook and put it in his hand. Then I told him about Daphne’s map, and what Eliano and I meant to do tonight in the chapel cellar.His cyan eyes went over my face and stopped. For one second I thought he would speak. Then he looked down at the paper.He read the slip twice. His lips did not move, but his jaw did.When he gave it back to me, I waited. I thought he would say it was dangerous. I thought he would say he was coming. I would have taken any answer he gave me.“I’ll guard the stair,” he said.That was all. He did not say another word. He opened his door, took a coat from the hoo

Chapter 75: Pruitt’s New Rounds

GideonThe new curfew sheet went up at dinner. By dessert, I hated it.It hung on the board by the dining hall doors, one typed page with Mrs. Pruitt’s initials at the bottom in green ink. I read it standing up, with my tray in my hand.Doors locked at nine. No students on the grounds after the bell, except those on rounds. Patrol hours moved earlier, and the watch doubled at every dorm.My name sat in the first column. Early round, east grounds and the pond path, seven to ten.I read that line twice. The pond was on the far side of the school from Elvira’s building. Three hours of walking in the wrong direction.Sir Albert wrote the patrol sheets. He always had. Now it was Mrs. Pruitt, and nobody had said why. I noticed that and I didn’t know what to do with it.I looked at the green ink. Her initials were small and neat, and they told me nothing. I read the rest. It took a while, because I was looking for a gap, and I’m not good at that. I walk straight at things.Then I found it. T

Chapter 76: What He Hid

ElviraI made a promise to him in the cellar, and I woke up the next day wanting to keep it.I slept for only two hours. My cut finger ached under its bandage, and every time I shut my eyes I saw the needles bend. At six in the morning I gave up on sleep and got dressed.Wild-Form class was the second lesson of the morning. The room had long desks set in pairs, with a bare floor at the front for the practice. I took my seat beside Eliano, as I’ve done every week.He was already there. He sat very straight, with his bag at his feet. His left hand was under the desk.“Good Morning,” I said.“Good Morning, Giamatti.”That was all I heard from him. There was no joke about my hair and also no remark about the instructor. I waited for him to say something. But he didn’t.“You look tired,” I said.“I had a long night.” He opened his notebook with his right hand and looked at the blank page. “How’s the finger?”“It hurts a little.”“Okay, good. That means it’s healing.”He almost smiled. Then

Chapter 77: Corvin’s Patrol

ElviraI had given Eliano room all day; now I was tired of it.He hadn’t mentioned anything about the light on his left hand, and I didn’t ask him. We had sat through lunch and two lessons like that, polite and careful, until he said at four o’clock, “Let’s go to the library after the bell. Stay late with me.” I said yes before he had finished the sentence. The library was the only place where I felt I was getting anywhere.At eight o’clock the monitor made her last round. We were in the history alcove, in the dark gap behind the last row of shelves, with our knees drawn up and our shoes in our hands. She switched off the main lights and left by the front doors. A key turned in the lock.“Now,” Eliano whispered.He had a torch no bigger than a pen. He held it low, and its beam showed us the shelf of old school records. We were looking for anything older than the green copy of the Founding book. Anything that had line fourteen in it.We found nothing. The oldest Founding book was the s

Chapter 78: Red Eyes at the Glass

ElviraSir Albert looked at Eliano and h e looked at me too. Then he raised the lamp and looked down the path behind us, at the hedge where Corvin had stood.The gravel there was bare. The branches were still there.I waited for the first question. It did not come.“Go to bed, Miss Giamatti,” he said. “Both of you.”He did not take out a notebook. He did not ask for our names, which he already had. He stood on the path with the lamp held high, and his face told me nothing.“Goodnight, Elvira,” Eliano said quietly. He went west with his sleeve pulled down over his left hand.I went east. The lamp stayed on my back the whole way, and I felt it until I reached my building. The watchman at the door looked past me at the light, then unlocked the door without a word.I climbed the stairs fast. I did not want Sir Albert to change his mind. On the landing I looked back through the stair window. The lamp was still on the path, and it stayed there until I reached the second floor.It was past n

Chapter 79: Elvira Takes the Bench

Elvira The radiator in the clinic ticked in the dark, and Susan’s hand was already reaching for my sleeve.I had come in by the side door the matron left unlocked. It was a quarter to six on Monday morning. Daphne and Lexa were still asleep in my room, and I had stepped over Lexa’s feet to get out. I had not slept at all. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw two red lights in the elm.“Elvira,” Susan whispered.Her voice was a scrape of sound. Since the night she was hurt, she has not been released. The matron said she would be released when she was fully healed. Susan doubted her, and so did I.“You should be asleep,” I said.“Sit down.”I sat on the edge of her bed. She slid a brown folder from under her pillow, tied with string, and pressed it into my hands. It was heavier than it looked.“These are copies,” she whispered. “From the Flame Rolls. I made them before they got to me.”I untied the string and turned over the first page under the night lamp. It was a list of flame entries

Chapter 80: TWO HUNDRED AND ELEVEN

XavierI counted the signatures carefully using a pencil to point at each one.Elvira had given me the copied pages before she left the bench at dawn. I had walked out of the Pentagon with them before anyone could ask me why. Now it was ten o’clock. I sat at my table in the dining hall with the pages spread out beside a cup of tea I hadn’t touched. With my pencil, I gave every signature a small mark in the margin. I made the marks page by page.There were two hundred and eleven signatures. I counted again from the bottom of the stack. It was still the same thing.My father’s note was folded in my pocket. It had six lines and one order: stay away from Elvira Giamatti. I did not need to take it out. I could say every word of it. If I walked into that crowd, my father would hear of it by supper. He always did.Through the tall windows I could see the Pentagon filling. Forty-one students had crowded against the glass of the dining hall to watch. Outside, Elvira stood on the stone bench ag
