Darren Shan Quote
You mean I might end up like you one day? I asked, alarmed at the thought of sounding so serious and stuffy. You might, Mr Crepsley said, though I would not bet on it. Seba commanded my utmost respect, so I tried hard to copy what he did. You, on the other hand, seem to be determined to do the opposite of everything I say. I'm not that bad, I grinned, but there was some grain of truth in his words. I'd always been stubborn. I admired Mr Crepsley more than he knew, but hated the idea of looking like a pushover who did everything he was told. Sometimes I disobeyed the vampire just so he wouldn't think I was paying attention to what he said!
