Aside from the obvious, Francesca, what do you want in return for supplying information?” Bones asked, getting back to the subject. “You to take me, ” she replied at once. “Not gonna happen! ” I spat, squeezing him possessively.

Mom. I have something to tell you. I’m undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I’m here to tell you that undead are just like you and me … well, okay. Possibly more like me than you.Cassandra Clare
8
Okay, God, I thought. Get me out of this and I’ll stop my half-assed church-going ways. You got me past a pack of Strigoi tonight. I mean, trapping that one between the doors really shouldn't have worked, so clearly you're on board. Let me get out of here, and I’ll...I don’t know. Donate Adrian’s money to the poor. Get baptized. Join a convent. Well, no. Not that last one.Richelle Mead

He’s not feeling well, ” Clary said, catching at Simon’s wrist. “We’re going.” “No, ” Simon said. “No, I – I need to talk to him. To the Inquisitor." Robert reached into his jacket and drew out a crucifix. Clary stared in shock as he held it up between himself and Simon. “I speak to the Night’s Children Council representative, or to the head of the New York clan, ” he said. “Not to any vampire who comes to knock at my door –“ Simon reached out and plucked the cross out of Robert’s hand. “Wrong religion, ” he said.Cassandra Clare

So--what's it like, being a vampire?"" Aline! " Isabelle looked appalled. "You can't just go around asking people what's it like to be a vampire! "" I don't see why, " Aline said. "He hasn't been a vampire that long, has he? So he must still remember what it was like being a person." She turned back to Simon. "Does blood taste like blood to you? Or does it taste like something else now, like orange juice or something? Because I would think the taste of blood would-"" It tastes like chicken, " Simon said, just to shut her up." Really?" Aline looked astonished." He's making fun of you, Aline, " said Sebastain.Cassandra Clare

V shook his head. “Remember what you saw in that clearing, cop? How’d you like that anywhere near a female you loved?” Butch put down the Bud without drinking from it. His eyes traveled over Rhage’s body.“ We’re going to need a shitload of steel, ” the human muttered.J.r. Ward
23
He smiled at that, and then his gaze shifted to a spot over my shoulder and it faded. 'These doubts wouldn’t have anything to do with the company you’re keeping of late, would they?' I didn’t get a chance to answer before the shop door was thrown open and a furious war mage stomped in. Pritkin spotted me and his eyes narrowed.' You shaved my legs?!

He's not doing anything he shouldn't be doing, right?" "Like what?"" Like hitting on you."" Ew. No, of course not. He doesn't see me that way." Michael shook his head and went back to his coffee." What? You think he does?"" Sometimes he looks at you a little.. oddly, that's all. Maybe you're right. Maybe he just wants you for your blood."" Again, Ew! What's with you this morning?""

I am your sire. I am to guide you through your first days as a vampire. Your first feeding is a rite of passage, a sacrament. It will not be wasted on some hormone-driven frenzy. This is why I wanted you to feed from me.”“ I will not drink it in a house, I will not drink it with a mouse. I will not drink it here or there, I will not drink it anywhere, ” I wheezed, hoping I was able to communicate adequate sarcasm through the crippling belly cramps.“ Did you just quote Green Eggs and Ham? .Molly Harper

Myrnin, who hadn't said much, suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around her. She stiffened, shocked, and for a panicked second wondered whether he'd suddenly decided to snack on her neck.. but it was just a hug. His body felt cold against hers, and way too close, but then he let go and stepped back. "You've done very well. I'm extremely proud of you, " he said. There was a touch of color high in his pale cheeks. "Do go home now. And shower. You reek like the dead." Which, coming from a vampire, was pretty rich. .Rachel Caine

Here, " Myrnin said, his voice still gentle and low. "Amelie said you had to work. No one said you had to work alone." He picked up the next part and slotted it in, took the screwdriver from Claire's numbed fingers, and fastened it with a couple of deft, fast movements. "I'll be your hands." She wanted to cry, because it was so sweet, but it wouldn't do any good.Rachel Caine
33
Myrnin turned away to pick up his Ben Franklin spectacles, balanced them on his nose, and looked over them to say, "Don't do drugs. I feel I ought to say that.Rachel Caine

Promise me, Amelie, that you’ll crucify me with silver before you allow me to fall in love.”“ I hardly think there’s any chance of that, ” Amelie said. "I doubt you have the capacity.Rachel Caine

Bite me, Goth princess, ” Shane called from the back. “Not literally or anything.”“ Maybe you should say that to Michael.”“Not funny, Eve, ” Michael said. Eve raised her eyebrows and held her fingers up, measuring off about an inch. “Little bit, ” she said.Rachel Caine

Shane, in case we don’t … don’t come out of this, I wanted to say…” He glanced over at her, and she felt her whole body warm from it. She remembered that look. It made her feel naked inside and out, but not in a creepy kind of way. In a way that felt…. Free. “If what you say is true, and I guess it has to be, I think I know why we’re … together, ” he said. “I think I’d fall for you no matter what, Claire. You’re kind of awesome.Rachel Caine

Not really hungry."" She’ll eat." Pritkin said curtly." I said –""If you starve to death it would damage my professional reputation."" I eat plenty."" The same does not apply should I strangle you in understandable irritation, however."" I’ll have a sandwich, " I told Nick. "No meat.Karen Chance
43
Yeah, I get it; you're a vampire, " she said. "Creepy. And okay, a little hot, I admit." "You don't mean that." "Come on. I still like you, you know, even if you.. crave plasma." Michael blinked and looked at her as if he had never seen her before." You what?"" Like. You." Eve enunciated slowly, as if Michael might not know the words. "Idiot. I always have. What, you didn't know?" Eve sounded cool and grown-up about it, but Claire saw the hectic color in her cheeks, under the makeup. "How clueless are you? Does it come with the fangs?" "I guess I.. I just thought.. Hell. I just didn't think.. You're kind of intimidating, you know." "I'm intimidating? Me? I run like a rabbit from trouble, mostly, " Eve said." It's all show and makeup. You're the one who's intimidating. I mean, come on. All that talent, and you look.. Well, you know how you look." " How do I look?" He sounded fascinated now, and he'd actually moved a little closer to Eve on the couch. She laughed. "Oh come on. You're a total model-babe." "You're kidding."" You don't think you are?" He shook his head. "Then you're kind of an idiot, Glass. Smart, but and idiot." Eve crossed her arms.“ So? What exactly do you think about me, except that I’m intimidating?”“ I think you’re…you’re…ah, interesting?” Michael was amazingly bad at this, Claire thought, but then he saved it by looking away and continuing. “I think you’re beautiful. And really, really strange.” Eve smiled and looked down, and that looked like a real blush, under the rice powder. “Thanks for that, “ she said, “I never thought you knew I existed, or if you did, that you thought I was anything but Shane’s bratty freak friend.”“ Well, to be fair, you are Shane’s bratty freak friend.”“ Hey! ”“ You can be bratty and beautiful, ” Michael said. “I think it’s interesting.Rachel Caine

A witch, a vampire, and a pixy walk into a bar, I thought as I led the way into the Squirrel’s End. It was early, and the sun had yet to set when the door swung shut behind Jenks, sealing us in the warm air smelling faintly of smoke. Immediately Nick yanked it open to come in behind us.

Jenks enthusiastically leaned against the counter and opened the box. Bypassing the plastic knife, he broke off about a third of it and took a huge bite. Ivy watched, appalled, and I shrugged. His mouth moving as he hummed, Jenks finished unpacking the sacks. I was half dead, Ivy was whoring herself to keep me safe, but Jenks was okay as long as he had chocolate.Kim Harrison

By the way, I haven't heard an 'I'm sorry' from you yet." My sense of grievance had overwhelmed my sense of self-preservation. I am sorry that the maenad picked on you." I glared at him. "Not enough, " I said. I was trying hard to hang on to this conversation. Angelic Sookie, vision of love and beauty, I am prostrate that the wicked evil maenad violated your smooth and voluptuous body, in an attempt to deliver a message to me."

My dreams were always the same I could see myself laughing . I was standing somewhere in a forest a raindrop rolled down a branch and fell on my nose . My hair was a sparkling red color and I was wearing a white flowing ball gown made from silk. I could feel him the one I loved staring at me intensely . His eyes as gold as the sun . I could hear him saying my love Fleur . you are everything to me. His fingertips lightly shivering as he touched my face beckoning for me to come closer. I don't know what I would do if I lost you . "Are you sure you want to be with me?" My body protested as I fought for him to stay but he never did. As soon as I woke up his presence was gone.Isabella Kruger

Let me guess. You think we’re going to live happily ever after, like some stupid fairy tale?”“ Why not?” His stare dared me to laugh or, worse, to argue.“ Because the whole thing is ridiculous, ” I said.

If he thought I was his soul mate for some mysterious reason he wouldn’t let on, let him see the worst of me.“ It’s not ridiculous to me.
