Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with you. Not your mom leaving. Not your dad being angry. She made choices she couldn’t deal with, so she dumped them on him. He couldn’t deal with them, so he dum...
What's the worst thing that can happen? Tyrus said. The dungeons. That's not so bad. I heard they're relatively nice in the springtime. Not too cold. Not too damp. They'd be quiet and peaceful. Tyrus...
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’ve been slogging through the forest for two days. What do you want? A six-lane highway?That’d be nice.Yeah, until you raced out, screaming for help, and got mowed down by a logging truck.
We’re home, I said. Well, not our home but… I leaned back into the cushions and let out a happy sigh. Close enough for now.Feels good, doesn’t it?Unbelievably good.I opened my eyes and glanced at him....
We’d gone about five kilometers when we rounded a bend to see a tiny roadside store with a gas bar.Yes! Corey said, pumping the air. We are now, officially, rescued.You think? Hayley said. I’m not see...
We tramped over, and as we stepped from the thick trees, we all stopped and stared. Then Corey raced forward, arms raised.It’s a road. Oh my God. A road! He dropped to his knees by the roadside. Oww.D...
We told them everything--well, almost everything. I was saving the stuff I’d found out at the cabin. This was enough for now. Too much actually. Despite having seen our powers in action--my near-trans...
We need to slow down for you. You’re in pain and you’re not going to remind us of that.It isn’t that bad. Really. I--See? Gotta be a tough guy. I lowered my voice so the others wouldn’t hear. How’s yo...
We have Kenjii. We have my cell phone. Since we aren’t yet officially dating, I’m sure you’ll agree that’s all the protection we need.Dad choked on his coffee.Mom waved us to the door. Go. Have fun. D...
We had one gun, one werewolf, one poltergeist, one supercharged spell-caster, one not-so-supercharged spell-caster, and one perfectly useless necromancer, though Liz was quick to remind me that she ne...
We did as we were told, staying outdoors, and not bothering Jeremy and Peter. Yet that could bedone while sitting outside the study window, where we could listen to the conversation within.Kids who do...
We are imprisoned by the truth we dare not see. We are imprisoned by the questions we dare not ask.
Wait, Daniel said sharply, not a request but a command. I swore Rafe’s hackles rose.Just hold on a sec, I said.No. I’m sorry, Maya, but this is nuts. I need to get to town and see if Annie’s there.Go...
Under normal circumstances, I’d run there, and try to make it back by the end of lunch period but--Not when we might have a man-killing cat roaming around.
Under normal circumstances, I’d run there, and try to make it back by the end of lunch period but--Not when we might have a man-killing cat roaming around. Come on. I’ll drive you.He started toward th...
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
Uh, Maya? Corey called. You said she was dangerous, so can we leave the kitty alone now?Something’s bothering her.Daniel walked over. Is she hurt?I don’t think so. Just…upset. Anxious.Um, yeah, Corey...
This is the first adventure I’ve survived without being kidnapped, attacked, knocked unconscious or possessed by evil spirits. A ripped blouse? Ruined skirt? Bad hair? I’d call this progress. ~Jaime V...
There were women, too. They were a little more what I expected. Tight jeans. Tank tops without bras. Evening makeup at noon. Jersey hair. The general vibe varied from wouldn’t look out of place on a c...
