You fuck - you ate my cat!Kendare Blake
2
No matter how far I go, I'm still your person. We stand together now.Kendare Blake
3
Anna's eyes soften, and the stubborn tears begin to recede. The way she stands, the way she breathes, I know she wants to come closer. New knowledge fills up the air between us and neither of us wants to breathe it in.Kendare Blake
4
I’m just saying it doesn’t always have to be spirits and magic. Sometimes hauntings are in your mind. It doesn’t make them less real.Kendare Blake
5
Girls, on the other hand, have always come easy. I don't know why that is, exactly. Maybe it's the outsider vibe and a well-placed brooding look. Maybe it's something I think I see sometimes in the mirror, something that reminds me of my father. Or maybe I'm just damn easy on the eyes.Kendare Blake
6
You’re sure you didn’t leave? Didn’t try to explore Thunder Bay again, maybe go down to the park and, I don’t know, dismember some poor jogger?Kendare Blake
7
The rhythm of the footsteps, the sound of whatever is coming down the ladder is driving both me and my mom steadily toward peeing our pants.Kendare Blake
8
It will not be easy for him to see her dead, should they become close. But she has so few friends. She cannot turn one away.Kendare Blake
9
You make me want things that I can't have.Kendare Blake
10
It's shitty I guess. They're my friends. But... everything I want to talk about I can't say to them. It feels so separate, like I've touched something that's taken the color out of me.Kendare Blake
11
I hate telling people this. I never know exactly how my voice is going to sound saying it, and I hate the stricken looks they get on their faces when they don't know what to say back.Kendare Blake
12
As special as it is to listen to your friends argue over whether or not you have a mental illness, I'm starting to get the urge to go back to class.Kendare Blake
13
The things that your eyes see plainly and cant forget are worse than huddled black figures left to the imagination.Kendare Blake
14
What are you going to fill it with?" she asks. "Holy water or something?" "Probably Dasani, " Thomas replies.Kendare Blake
15
You wouldn't think that people would believe that we all got so incredibly beat up–in so many interesting ways–from a bear attack. Especially not when Carmel is sporting a bite mark that is a spot-on match for wounds found at one of the most horrifying crime scenes in recent history. But I never fail to be surprised by what people will believe.Kendare Blake
16
I can't believe that she's questioning the existence of magic when she's standing before me dead and talking.Kendare Blake
17
I wish this knife was good for something besides death, that I could cut through time and walk into that house, into that kitchen where he trapped her, and get her out of there. I would make sure she had the future she should have had.Kendare Blake
18
I finally find a girl I could really be with, maybe the only girl in the world, and I had what? Two months with her? It's not enough. After everything she went through - everything I went through - we deserve more than that. Or maybe we don't. Anyway, life doesn't work like that. It doesn't care about fair and unfair.Kendare Blake
19
I make my way to her table, seeing her eyes growing wider as I do. Ten or so other girls probably just developed instantaneous crushes on me, because they see Carmel likes me. Or so the sociologist in my brain says.Kendare Blake
20
This is my favorite part of the hunting. Getting to know them . Hearing their legends. I want them to be as large in my mind as they can possibly be, and when I see them I don't want to be disappointed.Kendare Blake
21
Using for a noble purpose is still using.Kendare Blake
22
I had a million different dreams but none of them was stronger than the rest. In the end they probably would have paralyzed me.Kendare Blake
23
We've got our heads pulled low inside of our hooded sweatshirts and our eyes are shifty. We look exactly like you'd expect someone to look if they were minutes away from committing a major crime.Kendare Blake
24
I want to get some sleep, so if there's something mind-numbingly disturbing you want to show me, can we just get it over with?Kendare Blake
25
What do you think the Order is going to do?" he asks. "Help us open a door to Hell, if we're lucky, " I reply. Lucky. Ha ha. The irony.Kendare Blake
26
Arthur without Excalibur was still Arthur.Kendare Blake
27
Fucking nightmares. My heart starts to slow down. Glancing down at the floor, I see Tybalt, who is glaring at me with a puffed-up tail. I wonder if he had been sleeping on my chest and I catapulted him off when I woke up. I don't remember, but I wish that I did, because it would've been hilarious.Kendare Blake
28
It's the wrong way. She's farther away from the door now. It occurs to me that some people only have book smarts.Kendare Blake
29
This is what men risk so much for; this shiver, this acute heat and desire. This is what they think eternity feels like.Kendare Blake
30
Gods are cold. War, killing, and stabbing each other in the back is really what we do best.Kendare Blake
31
In afew hours, she’ll see Anna for herself. She’ll seeher dressed in blood, her hair floating like it’ssuspended in water, eyes black and shining. Andwhen she does, she won’t be able to catch herbreath.Kendare Blake
32
I don’t think I was strong in life. Now it seems like I loved every moment, thatevery breath was charmed and crisp.Kendare Blake
33
The accusations make me want to be kid again. Why isn't my mommy calling them big fat liars?Kendare Blake
34
They shouldn't be allowed to teach math so early in the morning.Kendare Blake
35
I think I killed a girl who looked like this once.Kendare Blake
36
I don't believe that." She seems like suck a force, this reasonable girl who kills with a turn of her fingers. She would have left all this behind, if she had the chance. "I honestly don't remember, " she sighs "I don't think I was strong in life. Now it seems like I loved every moment, that every breath was charmed and crisp." she clasps her hands comically to her chest and breaths in deep through her nose, then blows it out in a huff. "I probably didn't. For all my dreams and fancies, I can't recall being..what would you call it? Perky? .Kendare Blake
