1 " And the pain hits me again. And again. And again. It feels like forever. And though in the end I can't even scream, in the end I lose any sense of who or what I am, I know that even if I knew where Auri and the others were, I'd never tell them now. Because as much as it hurts, as deep as it cuts, all the pain is nothing compared to the agony of the only thought I cling to. My Cat's gone. She's really gone. And they took her from me. "

9 " all of this is unfolding as it was supposed to. The only way out is through. "
10 " Tomorrow might be worth a million yesterdays. But a tomorrow without him isn't worth anything at all. "
11 " Like she is the piece that has been missing all my life. "
12 " I told you this was a bad idea!" Scarlett gasps."And I told you I don't have bad ideas!" I shout, kicking through a doorway."Oh no?" she asks, cracking off a shot at our pursuers."No!" I drag her inside. "Just less amazing ones! "
13 " I need to let go of my past, and focus on my present.I need to abandon who I was, and embrace who I am.I just need to burn it all away. "
14 " There is nothing as painful, or as simple, as doing what is right.’ "
15 " Scar returns with the drinks tray balanced on one hand and flicks my ear as she passes. "Stop being a bastard, Finian.""But I'm so good at it! "
16 " He has blue eyes, blond shaggy hair, and dimples that can explode ovaries at thirty meters. "
17 " You're just showing off now," I smile."Yes. But do not fall in love with me, Scarlett. I will only break your heart."I laugh and throw her a wink. "I'm too tall for you, remember? "
18 " In an instant. Those who truly know us see the whole, never just a part. "
