Kindle Notes & Highlights
What a good fucking girl you are. Spread these pages while you spread your legs. Let all the unhinged, depraved darkness out.
Many people see me as the villain. And to that I say… then I'll be the fucking villain.
Outside of the basic schedule you've been given, everything else is run by us. When we say jump, you say…" "Off a bridge?" I murmur, sarcastically.
I don't think people realize just how strong your bond is with your favorite, chosen person. And to lose them, it's something you never recover from.
We're in Hell. There's no Heaven here.
In which case, they are going to have some problems. It's me. I'm the problem.
But he's allowed her to sit with him at meal times which is a big deal. In all the years Theo has been here, I've never seen him do that. Once, a newbie tried to sit with him and he threw a fork at his face from across the table. No one ever attempted it again. Until Avery… She's full of surprises.
Grey stops when he reaches my feet, sitting on the floor in front of me, cross-legged. "But you think I'm scary. Like a guard dog?" "I think you're a psychopath who takes delight in people's pain. And your own." "You know me so well, little killer," he grins, grabbing his chest. "It's like we're best friends." I roll my eyes. "We're not best friends."
"Knock knock, little killer."
"Damon, you shouldn't be out here," she scolds, glaring at me but making no effort to stop me.
"Go fuck yourself with your knitting sticks, Dorothea."
"If you hurt him, Avery, I promise you, you'll be begging for mercy. I'll fucking destroy you, in ways you can't even imagine in your worst nightmares. Do you understand?
"You think I'm going to kill you?" he asks, wiping an imaginary tear away. "Aren't you?" I mutter. "Why else would you be here with that thing?" I let out a little yelp as Grey pushes me back into the shelves, caging me in. "Oh, no. You've got it all wrong. You'll be seeing Heaven, but not like that."
"I'm not done with you yet," I say to her with a warning. "So, watch yourself, Avery. Because I'm the big, bad wolf you should be afraid of here."
"What did you do?" she questions with an air of hesitation. I laugh, sensing the desperate validation. I don't blame her for thinking my story is probably worlds apart from hers — she's right. I'm a monster compared to her. If you put us side by side, she's a fallen angel and I'm the monster lurking in the shadows.
Maybe she's not a fallen angel after all, because she's tempting me like a snake with an apple.
"Baby girl, stop," he groans, grabbing me. "I didn't call you that because I thought you were a murderer when we met. I called you that because I knew you would be the death of me. But it's a sweet death, one that I welcome."
"Is this about Theo?" "Ahh," he says. "Ding ding ding."
