How’d you get to be so good at this?””I had a good teacher.””Better not have been Myrnin or I’ll have to kick his predatory ass.””I mean you, dummy.””Oh.

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...

Wake me for the massacre, okay? Don’t want to miss it.

I had no name for that particular hue of orange, other than unfortunate.

Don’t run I never liked fast food

I never meant it,” he was saying. “Never meant it to happen. Can’t stand it,seeing her suffer. Must do something, do something… What do I do? What can I do…?

I didn’t bring you here,” he said. “You think you’re Miss Special Destiny of the year?””No,” I shot back, furious. “And I don’t damn well want to be – whatever the hell you are. But...

You know,’ Shane said twenty minutes later, ‘I’d feel a whole lot better about the two of us if you didn’t think i was the go-to guy for breaking and entering.’She felt a flash of...

Follow my finger.” He moved it around, tracking my eye movements. “Any blurred vision?””Well I think I’m hallucinating, because I see a big talking pile of crap.” – Joanne Baldwin.

I drink blood, you eat tacos, get the f*ck over it!” -Michel Glass

Mirnin: Where’s Shreve?

You are just landmark stupid, aren’t you? Has Guinness called yet about that world record?

You come back to us or I swear, I’ll find you, dig up your stinky corpse, and kick its ass until it freaking disintegrates.

Must we argue word choice? Now?

I’m gonna kill him,” Eve said, or at least that was what it sounded like filtered through the pillow.Stake him right in the heart, shove garlic up his ass, and-and-“And what?” (Michael)When did you get...

Jeez, Claire. I used to distract myself with sports stats at times like these, but now you’ve gone and ruined it.

It’s because you’re young and you refuse to acknowledge what you are. What it means. What it promises. You’re fighting your condition, and that makes it almost impossible for you to control yourself. You need...

So you’re saying I thrive on chaos.

Nothing here is like fighting vampires,’ I said. ‘It’s more like fighting smoke. I think I liked it when I had an actual enemy to face.”Oh, don’t worry, you have some. We just haven’t seen...

Vampires can hear us, anyway.

Oh — who’s the Queen?””Her, of course. The White Queen. You’re just like Alice, you know. Down the rabbit hole with the Mad Hatter.

„…And he doesn’t like you to call him Mr. McStabby, you know.””Have you ever seen him cutting up that meat? He is like an artist with slicing. And that knife is as long as my...

He’s not getting out of here again…But you don’t have to go all Marquis de Sade on him either. Just kill him or let me.

People bond themselves into families and groups for protection, and strangers…strangers are always at risk.

Michael might have become a vampire, but watching him stand outside in the night air, breathing in his freedom Claire thought that was as human as it could get.

I like the sound of that, crashing Monica’s party,” he glanced at Michael, then quickly away. “What about you? That break some kind of vampire rules or something?””Blow me Shane.””Boys,” Eve said primly. “Language. Minor...

Tease.

Stop using him, and start protecting him. I know he thinks he doesn’t need it, but sometimes he does. Sometimes we all do.

Myrnin said softly. “And how is it that you do not understand that HERE, in THIS place, this girl belongs to me, not to you?

Don’t read it. Just shred and burn, or your eyes will melt.

I seriously am.

Please. I am the queen of careful. Also, princess of punk fabulousness.

For now,” Amelie said. “Take her home. And — ” “Say nothing — yes, yes, I heard you the first seven hundred times,” Myrnin said, much too sharply. “I’m ancient. I’m not deaf. ” Amelie’s...

Well, I can throw a mean comeback, so there’s that. I will crush them on wit.

They did seem pretty serious about their mayhem.

And that’s sort of my point.

Michael had to pound me a couple of times to convince me not to go stage a rescue.” Shane shrugged. “He hits like a girl, for a vampire.

This is the biggest damn IPod I’ve ever seen,” Claire said, which made him choke on his beer. “Kidding. I have seen a jukebox before.

You’re dead,” I repeated. “So why are you in my dream?”He raised the bill of his olive drab ball cap with one finger. ” Good question. Morbid, isn’t it?””What?””Dreaming about dead peolpe. Creepy. You ever...

Michael…Michael got bitten. And now he’s a vampire. But he doesn’t remember becoming one, and that’s a big problem. So if you see him, don’t, you know, hug. He bites. He doesn’t mean it, though.

Because you’ve got guy parts, you’re automatically a better mechanic than me? I don’t think so,” Eve said, and bailed out of the passenger side.

Mornings are pure evil from the pits of hell, which is why I don’t do them anymore.” Eve

If he had any kind of a clue, he wouldn’t be caught dead with that stuff. See what I did there? Caught dead? I crack myself up.” Eve sipped more coffee she probably, at this...

Don’t worry…Someone will pay for your suffering. Heavily. With screaming.

Are the two of you quite done with your sweet nothings? Because I might vomit.

Of course. What else? Why can’t any of you guys ever come up with something that uses chocolate?

Boys. I’d turn gay if they weren’t so sexy.

But that quickly faded, and he frowned. “You’re bleeding,” he said. “What happened?”Claire sighed and held up her wrist to show him the bandage. “Man, you would be so embarrassed if I said it was...

I’m not like you. I’ll never be like you. Best of all, I don’t have to be.

Well,” he said, “I think we’ve found our way in. We just wait until they’re duking it out, but trust me, these Humans First types don’t have a lot of staying power or they’d have...
