badassery

It's not your job to like me, it's mine

They always always understimate women

You don__ even know me, or what I am capable of, boy.

My name's Jean Tannen, and I'm the ambush.

Everything's going to be okay', because that's what I wanted him to say and it's what he wanted to say and that's what you do when the curtain is falling _ you give the line that the audience wants to hear.

God, woman._ He closed his fist, not bothering to count off the dozens of other things she shouldn__ do. __ou give me heartburn.___o. Those are orgasms I give you, baby.

Put your f***ing finger down now before I break it off.

Standing in front of him I wipe his liquid from the corner of my mouth and stare deeply. I can see the panic in his eyes. I can smell his fear, deep, rich and growing, and for the first time tonight I__ actually aroused.

We match each other stroke for stroke until I get a hit on her right arm. She tries to switch sword arms, but I jab my scim at her wrist faster than she can parry. Her scim goes flying, and I tackle her. Her white-blonde hair tumbles free of her bun.__urrender!_ I pin her down at the wrists, but she trashes and rips one arm free, scrabbling for a dagger at her waist. Steel stabs at my ribs, and seconds later, I am on my back with a blade at my throat.__a!_ She leans down, her hair falling around us like a shimmering silver curtain.

God must think her a badass because he__ handed her this moment, and he didn__ dole out shit she couldn__ handle. That was a fact taught long ago by that miserable bitch called life.

What are you? The pregnant MacGyver?_ __est compliment I__e had in a while.

Nothing here is like fighting vampires,' I said. 'It's more like fighting smoke. I think I liked it when I had an actual enemy to face.''Oh, don't worry, you have some. We just haven't seen them yet,' Jesse said. 'But we will. And wham we do...' She showed fang, just a flash; anybody who happened to catch a glimpse would have doubted their sanity, especially since the teeth disappeared in a flash. 'When we do, we'll settle this Morganville style.

Fight back, Laia. For Darin. For Izzi. For every Scholar this beast has abused. Fight. A scream bursts from me, and I claw at Marcus__ face, but a punch to my stomach takes the wind out of my lungs. I double over, retching, and his knee comer up into my forehead. The hallway spins, and I drop to my knees. Then I hear him laughting, a sadistic chuckle that stokes my defiance.Sluggishly, I throw myself at his legs. It won__ be like before, like during the raid when I let that Mask drag me about my own house like some dead thing.This time, I__l fight. Tooth and nail, I__l fight.

Please!_ That word didn__ make sense to Nico. The Underworld had no mercy. It only had justice. __ou__e already dead,_ Nico said. __ou__e a ghost with no tongue, no memory. You won__ be sharing any secrets.
