At the Mojave camp, I had counted bottles for six months without sleeping through a night. The last count was wrong. The first time I let a half-Vampyren walk into my supply tent, I did not yet know he would be the one who carried me home.
My name is Cora King. I am thirty-one years old, and I have been counting people since I was twenty. The number I have refused to write down for eleven years is six. The number I am about to break my count for is six children at a creche in Urbana — plus their handlers, plus the boy from my old life, plus the woman who held the wall while she was dying of fever. Twelve souls. Maybe.
Drew is twenty-one. Half-Vampyren. Raised by a human foster mother who taught him to read out of Steinbeck. He has been at the southern edge of the Mojave camp for nine months. He does not ask for things. He does not say the word "ours." He has been watching me count since the first morning.
When the council finally signs the five-person extraction — eighteen-hundred miles across the post-invasion Midwest, through anti-Council Vampyren outriders and a defector Lucian and a storm we do not yet have a name for — Drew shows up at the council tent without being asked. He has brought a wooden carving with the number seven burned into the wood. He has been thinking about my plan for four months. He wants to drive.
I sign him on. I do not know yet that he will be the seven.
I do not know yet that the count he carries for me is the count I have been carrying for myself.
