Don't worry, little dhampir. You might be surrounded by clouds, but you'll always be like sunshine to me.
You, know I'm the Queen's favorite great nephew, Well, yeah I'm her only great nephew, but that's not important, I'd still be her favorite...
I think Adrian really likes you. Like, in a wanting-to-be-serious way." I shook my head and stepped back. "Nope. He likes me in a wanting-to-get-the-clothes-off-the-cute-dhampir way.
None of you appreciate me. Why is it so hard to believe that I could make a real contribution in these dark times?

Art doesn't have to make sense, little dhamphir. Besides, I'm supposed to be crazy, right?
When we were almost to the other campus, I felt the weird nausea hit me. I called a warning to Christian, just as a Strigoi grabbed him. But Christian was fast. Flames wreathed the Strigoi's head. He screamed and released Christian, trying franticall...
I felt the fangs against my neck and knew I was going to die. It was horrible. I wanted to live so, so badly...but this was how it would end. With my last moments, I started to yell at Christian to run, but then the Strigoi above my suddenly lit up l...
You and me are going to have so much fun, Rose. Picking out curtains, doing each other's hair, telling ghost stories....
