Blood Prophecy (Drake Chronicles, #6) QUOTES

1 " The Drake's didn't lure drunk college students out of the bars and compel them to forget being fed on. Well, maybe Quinn used to, but I could guarantee none of those girls needed to be compelled. "

2 " I could see the widening of his pupils, and the pale blue fire of his irises. He'd told me my eyes would change too, would go lighter until they looked like amber. I couldn't imagine they'd be half as beautiful as his. He was gentle and self-deprecating and way tougher than people gave him credit for. And twin or not, he was even hotter than Quinn, in my humble opinion. "

3 " They were untamed, like thunder and lightning in a glass jar. You just knew, sooner or later, the jar would shatter into pieces. "

4 " A shaft of sunlight fell on me, making my dress look like fire and my skin glow like pearls. The shadows around me darkened, as if my glowing skin were leeching the light from everything around me. I was a lantern on the longest, darkest moonless night. "

5 " I knew how he felt, how it was like being swallowed by winter, so that even your insides were too stark and too cold. "

6 " I kicked a pebble into the pond, accidentally scaring the sleepy swan. He squawked and burst into flight, scattering feathers. Jenna and I both squawked back and threw a stake at it. He dive-bombed us, insulted. "

7 " Solange looked enthralled, manic. Deadly. So I did the only thing I could think of.
I threw a snowball at her head. "

8 " The Drake farmhouse was like the chimpanzee enclosure at the zoo when feeding time was late.
You know, if all the chimpanzees were undead.
And insane. "

9 " When Kieran nudged me awake, I tried to punch him.
"Lucy—shit!" He ducked, smashing his head on the window.
I blinked blearily. "Sorry, Kier. Habbit."
He rubbed the back of his head. "Between you and Hunter, it's a wonder I have all of my limbs still intact."
I snorted, rubbing my eyes. "You dosed me with Hypnos."
"Three months ago. Let it go, Hamilton."
I just grinned sleepily. "You have so much to learn. "

10 " You're our best hope."
"If you call me Obi-Wan I'm going to kick you."
He grinned. "Hot. say Obi-Wan again."
I laughed, shoving his shoulder. "Shut up. "

11 " I hadn't had a chance to read an entire novel in weeks.
Whatever the others might say about politics, civil war, and hunters, the real evil was lack of reading time. If they all read more they might freak out less. And if I was going to live forever I was going to have to start a reading list. "

12 " That's not a grenade, is it?" Christabel whispered.
"Probably," I whispered back. "The have this awesome storage room full of cool stuff like that."
"Grenades are cool?" She looked dubious.
"Cooler than dead poets," I teased.
"Hey," both she and Logan said at the same time. "

13 " You have to e-mail me every day,” Lucy demanded. She threw a macaroon at my head to illustrate the seriousness of her request.
I ducked it easily. “You too.” I tossed one back at her, missed, and hit Nicholas in the temple.
“Ow,” he said mildly. "

14 " Can I get you anything?" I couldn't remember if the Amrita family drank human blood or animal blood.
"I'm just hiding out from my little sisters. They giggle." She tilted her head. "Where are all your famous brothers?"
"Around."
She rolled her eyes. "Are they as insufferable as mine?"
I rolled my eyes back. "Worse."
She looked unconvinced. "I only have the one," she pointed out. "My family has daughters the way yours has sons. His rarity has made Haridas's head roughly the size of a hot-air balloon."
I had to grin. "I have seven of those."
"Seven what?" Quinn interrupted, leaning in the doorway. "Seven heroically patient big brothers of which I am the obvious favorite?"
"Something like that," I allowed. "You know, if you replace 'brother' with 'baboon'? "

15 " You know that you and Hunter aren't even remotely subtle," Kieran told me through the open window.
I just grinned at him. "Wave to the top-floor corner window over there. Lia's got a crush on you."
Kieran's ears went red. "How does she even know I'm here?"
"I told her you were coming," I said, sliding into my seat. I dropped my knapsack full of weapons at my feet.
"You're a menace."
"I was twelve once." I shrugged. "A little crush in a place like this can make a difference. She's got to think about something other than vampires."
"What, like you?" he remarked drily, reversing out of the parking-spot.
"Come on, drive like you're cool," I urged him, ignoring his very valid point. "Pop a wheelie or something. It'll give her something to swoon over."
He laughed despite himself. "I can't pop a wheelie in an SUV, you lunatic. "

16 " Turn left here," I said about fifteen minutes later.
"I know what you're doing," he told me, but he turned anyway. The road cut through thick bushes and red pine groves. The moon was bright enough to cast blue moonshadow over the snow. If I squinted I could just barely make out a house light through the trees, close to the mountains. We passed the familiar landmarks: the lightning-struck ash, the boulder shaped like a bull, the hill where wild daffodils grew in spring.
My phone rang the very second we crossed onto Drake land.
"Lucy Hamilton, you just keep on driving."
I gulped at Helena's stern voice. "Oops. Bye!" I wrinkled my nose at Kieran. "Busted. Keep driving. "

17 " We'll just have to meet him off campus," I said. "Do your hacker thing and get a hold of him."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "It's called a phone. No hacking required. "

18 " I stood between her and Jenna.
So she punched me instead.
I punched her back.
Right now, my mother was reciting her nightly mala bead prayers to cleanse me of my violent tendencies.
Not enough chanting in the world, Mom. "

19 " So what's plan B, exactly?"
"You heard Saga." I glanced at Connor. "The bogs. Saga said there are some runaway Hel-Blar with collars living there. So I'll be bait. They'll chase me, thinking I'm weak. And then you'll grab one."
Quinn looked at Connor then groaned. "On my God, it's like talking to Lucy. "

20 " I don't like that look on your face," Quinn groaned.
"I've just had an idea."
He groaned louder. "I'll get protective headgear for everyone. "
