(2/2) still filthy from the smoke of the Dreams—as are you. It just makes you want him more. A reminder of what he did for you.
"Yes," you force out at last, lifting your lips toward his...
At that exact moment, he opens the door. You stumble back & he strides, grinning, past.
(2/2) Then suddenly, he swings back to you and scoops you up. You yelp, slinging your arms around his neck.
He's still blushing, but there's a determination in his eyes as he strides down the hall. "No girls," he says roughly. "You'll be the first, Wednesday Wednesday."
What genre do you associate with me? Like, when you think of "Susan Dennard," what kind of books do you know you'll get?
(P.S. YA is not a genre. It's a reading level. 😉)
(2/2) your back.
You shriek at the impact.
"Flip her," a woman says.
You're flipped onto your stomach, and thru the flames of pain, you feel hands rip off your jacket...your shirt.
Then cool relief. You start to cry.
"It's okay," you hear Erica whisper. "You're okay now."
So, just curious, but what would have happened if we’d have all just voted to let Jay and Doc go ahead? Would we have followed still or would we just be hanging out at the estate waiting for them to rescue Darian?
You motion for Jay to continue, and he nods. Then whispers: "Wait here."
Before you can argue, he sets off into the darkness. Erica scoots in close and hooks her arm in yours. You hold you breath, listening...listening...
A wild HISS slices through the silence. Then a THWANG!
@stdennard It’s been stressful, but only because hive mind Winnie has made some truly terrible choices. And honestly, it’s pretty much the only reason I check Twitter daily at this point.
There was a time before I started reading this thread, and if memory serves it was a good, stressless time in my life. Now I’m just a ball of nerves whenever I see the octopus emoji, the twitter app icon, or even simply a tweet from @stdennard.
You nudge Jay in front, and he moves with a sureness that suggests he'd have taken the lead anyway.
The darkness of the locker room soon engulfs you all. You don't make it far before he stops abruptly.
At his wave to the ground, you spot...
Blood. Trailing toward the gym.
You shake your head, pointing at the girl's locker room. It's less direct, but also less exposed.
Erica's eyes thin. She glances at Jay, who nods. Then he flashes you a tight, reassuring smile.
You're grateful for it. The screams are louder here, but Darian has now gone silent.
(2/2) that gleam.
A silver bolt pierces the nearest monster. It goes down.
"RUN!" Jay roars from behind. So you do, racing for the shimmering hole. Vague shadows hover within.
When you reach it, you glance back...
And see Jay is overwhelmed by vampira. He is going to die.
Deathly Hallows summed up:
Everyone else: Voldemort is taking over and we need to stop him.
Harry: Yeah, but I need to know more about Dumbledore’s personal life.
Everyone else: But Voldemort
Harry: I THOUGHT I KNEW DUMBLEDORE OKAY
