She is born.
She breathes.
She feels.
She shrieks.
At the cold. The light. The pain.
No retreat now. No comfort.
Just instinct.
A pair of hands lifts her. Wraps her in a blanket.
We did it, whispers a deep voice. Again.
She turns to the sound. Tries to focus on a face.
A door opens.
She moves. Sheltered by the arms.
Warm.
Her screams fade to whimpers.
She goes limp.
She sleeps.
When she awakens, the arms are carrying her through a shaft of blazing white.
Did the mother leave a note? asks a voice. Different. Softer. Higher.
No. The deep one. The one that makes her rumble.
Look at the resemblance. It must be the same mother.
Have you notified the ICU, Dr. Rudin?
Of course.
Would you get the paperwork started for the adoption process? Same agency as the last?
Please hurry. I need your help.
What shall I tell your daughter?
Tell her Ill be another couple of hours. Words. Rhythms. Gentle. Yes. Please have somebody order her dinner.
Motion. Speed. Sleep.
* * * Before leaving Dr. Black, Julia Rudin adjusts the sleeping infants head. Briskly but delicately. In midstride.
On the back of the babys neck she spots the red arrow-shaped birthmark. The same as the other foundling how long ago? A year?
As Dr. Black barges through the ICU door, the childs face is peaceful. Trusting. Dr. Rudin turns away and walks to a small waiting room. There, a twelve-year-old girl reads a magazine.
Sorry, Whitney, the young doctor begins. Sort of bad news. Your dad told me
The girl puts down the magazine and looks up. Eve, she says.
What?
Thats the babys name. Eve.
How do you know?
Whitney smiles. And shrugs.
As the girl turns to pick up the magazine, Dr. Rudin notices something on her neck.
A mark. Red and arrow-shaped.

Better than R.L. Stine books!,
By Gwee Xinli (S'pore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Watchers #3: I.D. (Paperback)
I like Watchers. The books are hard to find but I managed to read No.1-4. I haven't read Island (No.5) yet but I reserve it at the Toa Payoh Library. It isn't scary (I'm not that type that scare easily by books) but the story, the plan is beautiful it's very interesting. My classmate agreed with me when she finally started reading it (boy, I recommended it to her so long ago and she only read it now!). Those people who didn't read it don't know what they're missing. P.S. This is my favourite book in Watchers.

THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ!,
By Chelsea Watkins (Payne, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Watchers #3: I.D. (Paperback)
This is the best book I've ever read! It is a really origonal idea and it may not seem very scary to some people but it scared me to death, the idea of finding out you're one of several clones and all the other clones died when they were a week older than you! I have to AT LEAST skim through the book every day, I love it so much! It has a surprise ending, but I'm not going to tell you what it is! My mom read this book, and even she loved it! Anybody could enjoy this book!
