122 " ... the cupboards start opening and closing by themselves, drawers slamming shut and the walls start to bleed. Slamming doors and smashing plates. Anna is acting like a common poltergeist. How embarrassing. "
123 " He says you kill ghosts for a living. Like you’re a ghostbuster or something.” “I’m not a ghostbuster. "
124 " Cassio,” she whispers. “Get me out of here. "

126 " Jestine and I lock eyes. She's going to look away first. Even if my eyeballs have to completely dry out. "
127 " It's like I'm trapped in one of those omniscient dreams where you just watch yourself do stupid shit, yelling at yourself about how stupid it is, and your dream-self just keeps doing what it's doing anyway. "
128 " The thought makes me reach back for my knife, my sharp, throat-cutting security blanket, as I look around. "
129 " It’s true what they say about answers only leading to more questions. There will always be more to find out, more to learn, more to do. "
130 " She’s no ordinary ghost, that seems certain,” he says. “I know. Something’s made her stronger.” “The way she died?” he asks. “I’m not sure. From what I’ve heard, she was just murdered like so many others. Throat slit. But now she’s haunting her old house, killing whoever steps inside, like some goddamn spider. "
131 " As we look at each other, something inside me is trying to click, trying to fall into place. I feel it in my mind and in my chest, like a puzzle piece you know has to go somewhere so you keep trying to push it in from all different angles. And then, just like that, it fits. So perfect and complete that you can't imagine how it was without it there, even seconds ago. "
132 " I knew they were cruel. Maybe I felt … sorry for him.” I snort. “Sorry for me? I could’ve handled those guys.” “They smashed the back of your head in with a board from my house. "
133 " By the time I had gotten off the phone, I knew that I was going after Anna. My gut told me that she wasn't just a story. And besides, I wanted to see her, dressed in blood. "
134 " You'd better eat that," she says."I'm taking it easy on my stomach," I protest. "Come on. It just had a knife in it. "
135 " Don’t be afraid of the dark, Cas. But don’t let them tell you that everything that’s there in the dark is also there inthe light. It isn’t. "
136 " Will Carmel eventually forget about this adventurous time with us? Will she shun Thomas and go back to being the center of SWC? She wouldn’t do that, would she? I mean, she did just compare me to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My opinion of her isn’t the highest right now. "
137 " The state of shock is losing itscharm. I want my brain back. Can’t it just shake itself off likea dog already and get back to work? "
138 " Everyone seems to know more than I do, and being on the shallow end of the information pool is starting to piss me off. "
139 " But the mall is a thing that should not be suffered. Except maybe for Cinnabon. "
140 " Guys," he says. "After this is over, can we go get a burger or something?""You're thinking about food now?" Carmel asks."Hey, you haven't spent the last three days fasting and doing herbal rue steams and drinking nothing but Morfran's gross chrysanthemum purification potions." Carmel and I grin at each other in the mirror. "It isn't easy becoming a vessel. I'm freaking starving. "
