How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
The interior lights blinked off, and all I could see were the yellow eyes fire-flying around outside. Then a purple glow swallowed up my surroundings, and I let my eyes close as the windows shattered. I felt Alex's arm come up over my head protectively. A sharp pain ripped up my side, and I let out a scream. (12.96)
Poor Gemma. All of her worst nightmares are coming true… literally. The ice demons that she dreams about every single night are finally here to kill her. Thank goodness she has Alex and Aislin around to protect her.
Quote #2
"But anyway, back to the portal. See, if it opens up, it will let out a ton of Death Walkers. So I'm sure you can imagine how the end of the world is supposed to happen."
I stared down at my hand, remembering the bluish-purple color. "By ice." (13.205-206)
Talk about a grim prophecy. According to Alex, the world is going to end when a portal opens and lets out a bunch of Death Walkers who freeze over the entire planet. That's going to be a painful and chilly death for everyone.
Quote #3
Feeling as though I might burst from the drawn-out silence, I asked, "What's the Sword of Immortality?"
"Exactly what it sounds like—a sword that can kill the immortal," Alex said, still aggravated. "And it would have been real handy to have while we were on the bus being attacked by Death Walkers." (17.64-65)
The Death Walkers aren't the only ones who can wreak some serious havoc. The Keepers apparently have this sword that can tear through the demons like butter—they just need to get it back from the creepy vampire club.
Quote #4
A loud bang, followed by a shriek, and then something fell, hitting the floor with a heavy thud.
Buzzing filled my head as I cracked open my eyelids. I let out a gasp. Sprawled on the floor, just in front of my feet, was the Death Walker, either unconscious or dead—I couldn't tell since it looked dead even when it was alive. (19.19)
Wow, Alex can totally kick butt when he needs to. With the Sword of Immortality in his hand, he charges in and kills the Death Walker before it freezes Gemma to death. What a hero!
Quote #5
"There were only two." He pulled me toward the door. "And this—" he lifted the sword into the air— "makes killing them easy." (19.35)
Thank goodness Alex and his group have the Sword of Immortality now. With this, they at least stand a fighting chance against the Death Walkers so they can fight back instead of just waiting to freeze to death.
Quote #6
The next thing I knew, Alex's fist was slamming into Stephan's face. After that, everything moved by in a blur. Stephan staggered back. Alex yelled at me to run. Suddenly, I found myself running inside the house and out the back door into the forest. (34.25)
It's got to take a lot for Alex to punch Stephan in the face since dude's his hero and father, but he can tell that something seems off, and he's not going to let the Death Walkers just kill them both.
Quote #7
My breathing was heavy. My hand trembled. And, I swear, everything moved in slow motion as Stephan trampled up to me, and I swung the blade at him. He flicked it out of my hands effortlessly, and it fell to the icy ground with a clank. Then he bent down, scooped it up, and tucked it into the pocket of his jacket. (36.6)
Gemma tries to fight Stephan off with her little knife, but she's not exactly trained in hand-to-hand combat, so he easily overpowers her and takes the knife away. Aw, shucks. Now what?
Quote #8
Dragging me behind him like a ragdoll, Stephen trampled through the snow back toward the cabin. The Death Walkers' chill nipped at my heels, and my breathing had slowed due to the cold. I wasn't going to lie and say I wasn't scared. I was downright terrified. But on a positive note, unlike my nightmares, he hadn't commanded the Death Walkers to finish me off. (36.1)
Stephan isn't treating Gemma like the precious, special savior of the world that she supposedly is. Instead he is pushing her around and being rough with her, which isn't very nice at all.
Quote #9
"Just to make sure you don't run away again." He lifted the sword, and I screamed as he sliced the blade across the upper part of my leg. It slashed through my jeans and stabbed into my skin. Tears stung at my eyes as blood seeped out. (36.14)
There has to be easier ways to teach someone a lesson than stabbing them in the leg. Stephan is definitely the kind of leader who leads with an iron fist, though, and here Gemma is on the receiving end of it.
Quote #10
"You're going to let him detach my soul," I said, flabbergasted. Sparks were pouring through my body, and I suddenly despised them more than I ever had. "After all of this, after he sent my mom to The Underworld, after he showed up with them." I pointed to the window, where the glowing eyes of the Death Walkers were peeking in. (36.31)
Stephan is not the kind of guy who chooses the nicest method of getting what he wants. Instead he is the kind of guy who will banish someone to the bottom of a lake for talking back… and who will remove Gemma's soul forever.
