― Melissa Grey , The Girl at Midnight (The Girl at Midnight, #1)
62 " By my blood. "
63 " This was it. This was how her life ended. In blood and ashes. "
64 " She may have been the firebird's vessel, but her destiny was her own. If dying by her own hand to unleash it meant that the people she loved would be hurt, then she wouldn't do it. Another vessel would be born, the Oracle had promised. It might have been selfish, but Rose knew she wasn't willing to sacrifice Caius or what they shared for the sake of power. "
65 " It was only a matter of time until Rose's secrets die with her, but the firebird would live on. And like a phoenix from the ashes, it would rise again. "
66 " What will you do?""The same thing I've always done," Echo said, swinging her backpack over her shoulder. [...] "Run when I have to, and fight till the end. "
67 " She held the dagger in her hand, onyx and pearl magpies catching the light. If she angled it just right, they looked like they were flying. "
68 " Schwellenangst, Echo thought. The fear of starting something new. "
