“Do you not want to see me in my natural form?” “I don’t want to see you in any form without clothes on…”

“It starts with three brothers. The first stayed away in order to protect his mother and sisters… The second becomes an alpha and lets fear and pressure get the best of him. The third falls in love with his soulmate. It’s a classic fairytale about brotherhood and power. In the end…only one is meant to actually be a leader…”
“He attempts to kill the first out of fear, and betrays the third out of pressure, or maybe it’s the other way around. He kills the first from pressure and betrays the third out of fear.”
“I accept my fate…Do what you gotta do. If I live, I’m walking away knowing I made the right decision for me and I’m not looking back. If I die, I’m dying knowing I stood on what the fuck I believe in.”
It took power to attack a man to submission. It took strength for that same man not to raise a hand back in defense.
“My love, you never want to hear three knocks anywhere. You never want to see the number three or the number six twice.”
The next day, I saw on the news the motel had been shut down but word from my sisters…Everyone that was staying there had set themselves on fire…I don’t know why or who did it…It never happened again…Just that one night.”
“So, if we hear three knocks…that’s a bad sign?” Asha asked. “Yes…don’t let that bad spirit in. They never mean any good in the end.
“You are able to see things that have yet to happen… That…is quite dangerous for someone like you. If you were to get involved with the wrong people that is…”
“If you are indeed an oracle, precautions will have to be taken in order for you to remain safe. Unfortunately, we do not allow oracles in The Underground without supervision and high security. With that being said, do you usually have dreams and visions when your eyes are closed?”
“Far from a bitch, Lil Catnip so don’t address me as such. I’m cool and chill but don’t get it twisted. I’m the wrong one to push.”
“Someone like you, is all someone like me, is trying to be with.”
“A message for me, and a warning for you.”
“A little back story, I hope everyone can hear me!” Keisha yelled. She turned around with a wave of her hand in the air. “One of the founders for this school decided to create a space where students, who were not of Gaia ancestry, could feel safe. We know The First Family of Gaia is the reason we’re all here today but in order to attract more students to come to the school, they needed a reason to feel safe and secure from the very people who wanted them here. So there is a blood spell…One of the hardest spells to crack…placed on Traditional Row that will safely secure this neighborhood from

“I’m here as your RA because they decided I was deemed a disruptive danger to attend regular class…all because they caught me feeding on a girl in the bathroom which? First of all…She was amaze-balls…We were having a good time but some of the teachers did not agree…So instead…I am limited to being an RA…keeping watch of my girls…and guy.” She looked at Quan. “And making sure things don’t go left…”
“Alright so…now what?” Celeste asked. “I’m new here but I’m a solutions based person. All of this is just discussing the problem and not the solution.”
How interesting…Moon returns to earth to walk amongst the mere mortals and now a prophet shows up right beside her…Don’t you find that curious, Maggie?”
“Oh, and? You are the fucking moon…You are above all of this…but you’re also First Family. You really need to start acting like it. This…” She waved her hand around in disgust. “I’m a cute little innocent human with the crazy white hair act, is cool, but played out. I know Bellamy likes to keep you as far away from our lifestyle as possible but that’s his sick little fantasy and obsession with humans…It’s not your reality, stop hiding from it and own it.”
“Please don’t make me drag you across this table, Asha,” Souxie said tiredly. “Stick to the rivers and lakes you’re used to and figure out how to swim in those before you come play with me.”
“I’m gonna spare you because I see what you’re doing,” I told her, grabbing my phone and charger. “You want somebody to hit you because that’s the only way you know how to communicate, by fighting. Then you can have something to bitch about instead of sitting here in your own thoughts about being a failure of a siren. How we, your friends, ME! Had to put up money for you to stay and actually perform and be what the fuck you are–––Not the school. Me! I paid for it!”
As soon as I started down the hallway, the panic slowly crept in… This was it. I could tell by the way he was looking at me he was no longer interested in waiting. I mean, neither was I for that matter…Let’s just…get it over with, right? Who cared if he transformed into a rabid beast on top of me that could chew my face off? I’m the moon! Hoe, I’m the damn moon! I should be able to…to…
“I’m aware.” She nodded. “But if you got those scars when you were a baby, maybe that is your mother telling you to never forget who you are or where you came from. You will always represent Taluwi…even if we are a big boss from the Bronx–––”
“You can be who you are and still be where you’re from…our upbringing is what makes us what we are today…
Don’t let your past make you miss present opportunities to grow for the future.
“You are who you are, but you can be whatever you want to be… I hope that makes sense,”
“I don’t like talking about it because I feel like…the more you dwell on it, the more you make it your identity…the more you take it personal.”
“First thing,” he said. “You need to relax…Your mood can affect where you end up. You need to be confident when you travel through time, space, and energy, aight?”
“When you want to go somewhere…you find a door that’s ready or make a door specifically for traveling. This door is made specifically for traveling. It’s always gonna be ready. You knock three times to let the universe or realm know of your arrival. Wait for it to change colors or wait until you see the light beneath it to show a sign of life… So go ahead and knock on it.”
“When the wolf lies beneath the moon,” she said, voice ethereal, belonging to something out of this world. “He howls as she takes his soul…”
“She’s telling me not to tell her brother but bitch, I’m the one you’re gonna always have to worry about when it comes to her–––”
“This is what you do,” Imari said. “I don’t want you fucking up your schooling over this…Fish ‘em out for us. Bring him outside of The Grounds. We’ll be waiting.”
“Aye, Isis! This is the one!” Ishann nodded in approval while pointing at Quan. “We like this one! Don’t bring another mothafucka around us if it’s not him!”
“I’m Maggie Grey…I am the daughter of two amazing parents and granddaughter to a nosey Grandma…I’m born and raised in Georgia, I love mac and cheese, and I love a good hoodie. Before anything else…I am those things first and always…without that, nothing else matters to me.”
Human emotions take up too much space and get in the way of your true purpose and identity.”
He gets to fuck the moon night after night and you all were scared of her?”
“I can smell the murderous intent on his breath…You need to kill him before he does it to you.”
