From blood and ash ellipses count

Ellipses count (as of May 9th 2021)

(I’m doing it chapter wise this time)


Ch 1

“I’d…felt nothing from them as I drifted between the crowded tables earlier.”
“If I was discovered, I would be in…well, more trouble than I’d ever been in before and would face severe reprimand.”
“Death….”
“Tonight was about living, about…not being up all night, unable to sleep, alone and feeling like…like I had no control, no…no idea of who I was other than what I was.”
“but I…I would face the Duke’s displeasure.”
“To…to experience pleasure with someone of my choosing?”
“there were…many things”
“or next week or…ever”
“It felt like…like I was being watched.”
“The music was…it was like nothing I’d heard before.”
“It was...sensual.”
“I…I hadn’t heard that.”
“while others…”
“unless they…”
“Many were quite…promiscuous”
“but I’d thought I would hear…sounds.”

Ch 2

“I looked up…and then up some more.”
“was…well, he was beautiful.”
“that was…disappointed”
“had…slept in it.”
“I…I wasn’t ready”
“it was…it was the first time I’d heard him do so.”
“I’m…I’m no one,”
“A…good friend.”
“but feel…very inexperienced.”
“been preparing myself for…something.”
“I…I supposed I felt safe”
“Maybe…maybe I came here for…for conversation.”
“The…the natural order of things doesn’t exactly allow that.”
“Is he…has he gone to the gods?”
“Death is…”
“Was I…?”

Ch 3

“Why would you…do this?
“Were you…were you with someone before me?”
“I…”
“What I felt…”
“but…”
“What the…?”
“The…envoy has arrived,”
“An…envoy?”
“I…I don’t think I should.”
“It’s just that…it has”
“Well, yes, but this…is different.”
“I know… I know you fear that you won’t return from them”
“That’s what…”

Ch 4

“Emotion clogged my throat, tasting like…like bitter desperation and sour hopelessness.”
“I…I heard about”
“but I…I wasn’t sure if”
“and…and he returned”
“he started…he started to show”
“I…I didn’t know”
“he planned to take care of himself, but…”
“possibly hours…or minutes.”
“He’s…he’s still in there.”
“It’s just that…”
“What…?”
“more…open and light, fresher.”
“Will you…?”
“I would just have to…not breathe as often.”
His flesh…it felt all wrong
“Are you…are you Rhain?
“Why are…?”
“You…you are here for me.”
“You will…give me dignity.”
“She’s…she’s a good woman.”
“I…I tried to do it myself, but…”
“I just…I just wanted to say goodbye.”
“I wasn’t…I wasn’t the only one,”
“That…that was one small blessing.”

Others in this ch are spoilers, so in tags

(view spoiler)[ “Ridley…he was…he was bitten, too.”
“He wanted to say goodbye to his father. I don’t…know if he took care of himself or not.”
“Two blocks over. Third home. Blue…I think blue shutters, but Ridley…he lives in the dorms with…the others.”
“It was nighttime, and if he was in that dorm where others who were off duty slept….” (hide spoiler)]

Ch 5

“That woman’s pain was…it was unbearable for her.”
“He just…he’d hit a raw nerve last night.”
“That was…that would be incredibly irrational.”
“I did because they were my choice, but…”
“the Lord began to…assist the Duke with his lessons.”
“His eyes…”
“like…a flower, musky and sweet.”

Ch 6

“but it…it didn’t look like”
“But she only had two marks, as if…”
“She…she was pale”
“It would’ve been…messier and not so precise. She looked like…”
“visitors…the Ascended.”
“That…that is more than just a little strange.”
“this…weird embarrassment”
“I saw how she was…left.”
“even if they were able to do it without it being…messy”
“This curse is passed through a poisonous kiss…”
“albeit not as…messily.”
“It was…a petal”
“It just seemed… I wasn’t sure.”
“I was simply…present instead of being caught up in the past or the future full of what-ifs.”

Ch 7

“I…I felt nothing”
“I stared up at the man, and…and”
“That was such an…inhuman sound.”
“But the trees…”
“You…you think he was”
“There is…reason to believe“
“The kind of panic that could cause…”

Ch 8

“When will…when will“
“and he was…he was a friend.”
“The group the Duchess spoke about…”
“but this…all of this felt different.”
“that kind of love…”
“I…I couldn’t sleep.”
“It’s like…I can’t process that”
“He seemed more like a…”
“That would be…pretty amazing“
“If not…”
“then…gods, I couldn’t even begin to fathom what would occur.”

Ch 9

“wasn’t lying…exactly.”
“Well, that is…creepy.”
“But…but to become my”
“All of that made sense, but…but he couldn’t”
“but it felt like…more than that”
“And then there was…me.”
“he…he passed no more than three months ago.”
“We come today to hope, to ask….”
“I felt…something burning through the wall I’d built”
“but this was…it was bitter-tasting in the back of my throat”
“He had to be in pain, but…”
"The sight of the flowers, the scent…."

Ch 10

“With the death of…”
“Those who were had to excel at…”

Ch 11

"where I’d been…”
“but I couldn’t stop myself…”
"Not what I was but who I was, and that was…
“He’s quite…exciting”
“Poppy….”
“It was…it was the night I went to the Red Pearl.”
“It’s just that…I’ve done a lot of things I shouldn’t do, but this…this is different. I thought if I didn’t say anything, it would, I don’t know…”
“Tell me, did you…enjoy it?”
“That I…allowed him”
“he made sound like…”
"What…what happened between us was one time only. It was just this…thing.”

Ch 12

“has been a rather frequent visitor of one of those…”
“Or do you…?”
“more illicit…games?”
“I wanted to kick her…like a Maiden, of course.”
“If that is all he does, then that would be a…disappointment.”
“Finds someone to spend…quality time with.”
“She’d apparently had a very…active love life.”
“I heard that she only wrote about her most skilled…partners“
“Because of the…”
"while I’d been…”
“just like…you know what.”
“What…what if he was actually here?”
“just like…you know what.”
“What…what if he was actually here?”
“I suppose I…I might’ve misspoken, Maiden.”
“They felt like…”
“Yes, I’m just…”
“but she’s always been…amused by the most morbid things.”
“However, if he were…”
“But there’s…”
“That was…intense,”
“been so…familiar.”
“It was as if we had known each other for years instead of hours…or days”
