Your friends aren’t going to find you, Daniel said. And the nights are getting cold. It’ll be a race between hypothermia and dehydration, see which kills you first.We paused a moment, letting that sin...
You wanna fight? I asked.He looked up at me and, for just a second, hesitated, then said, Yeah. I do.Well, I'll save you the trouble. You win.
You two hang back, he said to Corey and Sam. Maya, make Kenjii stay with them.Excuse me? Corey said. Sam and I aren’t going to scare--Four teenagers and a dog will scare any old guy, Daniel said. So w...
You shouldn’t be here, I said. I’m still dreaming, aren’t I?That depends. Am I better looking?I gave a soft laugh and shook my head.Do I at least better than I did yesterday?No. Sorry.
You really like that boy, he said. Rafael.Sure. I like him.A pause, as if that wasn’t the answer he wanted.I thought you didn’t date boys from school.I shrugged. There’s always a first time.More silen...
You okay? Rafe said when the bear was gone.I sat on a branch and pulled my foot up. My sock was ripped, but the bear’s teeth hadn’t broken the skin. I squeezed my foot and winced.Just bruised, I said....

You could have stayed with my mom today, I said as Daniel navigated the potholes and ruts. You’ve got to be hurting.Nope. Don’t feel a thing.Tough guy, I said.No, well-medicated guy.

When I could finally speak, I twisted to face Daniel and said, It’s my fault Rafe’s dead.No, it isn’t, he said fiercely. I’m the one who knocked out the pilot.
What's next? If there are vampires in there, they probably drink artificial blood plasma substitute.
What am I? Let's just say I won't fetch a stick for you. I won't beg for treats. And, no matter how nicely you ask, I will not roll over and play dead.
We’re in this one. I pointed to the class shot. That’s me, and that’s Sam over there.I think that’s Bryan, Sam said.Is it? I squinted. Maybe…It was impossible to tell, really.
We had to get him to a doctor and, until then, I could only presume it was heart failure and perform CPR if he stopped breathing.I unbuttoned the mayor’s shirt. When Nicole inched forward, the pilot s...
We got out. I glanced at Daniel.He sighed. Go on.You sound like you’re giving a five-year-old permission to play with an unsuitable friend.If the shoe fits…
Wake him up! Hayley shouted. Someone wake him up!Daniel and I shook the pilot. The helicopter dropped a couple of feet and we stumbled. Corey ran over.Help me get him out! he shouted to Daniel as he g...
Using supernatural beings to build the perfect weapon? Intriguing idea.Not really, I said. They did it on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A sub-par season. I slept through half the episodes.
Uh-uh. We've played this game before. I hide. You never seek. I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I'm beginning to sense a pattern.- Clay to Elena
Tori swiveled in her seat as we came in.There are more, she said. He sent one every couple of weeks. The last one was only a few days ago.Good, I said. Would you mind keeping and eye on Andrew?Sure. S...
