“I hope the two of you will descend from your love bubble long enough to learn something today," he sniped cuttingly and the other kids snickered. Embarrassed, I ducked my head to avoid eye contact with them.
"It's all right, sir," Xavier replied. "The bubble's been engineered to allow us to learn from within it.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“A body is merely a vehicle. The deepest emotions are experienced through the soul.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“I feel sorry for you," he said slowly. "I guess you wouldn't know what it's like to be loved or wanted by anybody. You're right, though; Beth isn't human, because humans have a soul that they struggle all the time to stay in touch with. Every day is a battle for them to listen to their conscience and do the right thing. If you knew Beth at all you'd know that she doesn't have a soul, she's ALL soul. She's filled with it, more than any human possibly could be. You wouldn't know that because emptiness and hatred is all you've ever know. But that won't win out in the end-you'll see."
"You're very cocky for a mere human," the demon replied.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“How could you tell children they were playing with fire if they´d never had the experience of being burned?”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“Beth,” he said simply, his flawless face lit up with anticipation. “There is no doubt in my mind that we belong together, but to spend the rest of my life with you would be an honor and commitment that I would cherish.” He paused, his clear, blue eyes luminous. My breath caught in my throat, but Xavier only smiled. “Beth,” he repeated. “Will you marry me?” The look on his face was pure happiness.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“But don’t let them talk you into anything you don’t feel comfortable with.”
“They’re my friends.”
“So what?” He shrugged. “If your friends walked off a cliff, would you do it too?”
“Why would they walk off a cliff?” I asked in alarm. “Is someone having problems at home?”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“How can the strength of one man stand against Jake and an army of demons?"
"He can," I countered, "if he has the power of Heaven on his side. After all, Christ was a man."
"He was also the Son of God, there's a difference."
"Do you think they could have crucified him if he wasn't human?" I asked. "He was flesh and blood, just like Xavier. You've been here so long you underestimate the power of humans. They're a force of nature.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“The righteous ones are always exhausting to have around.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“One does not need to lock up that which is not dangerous.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“You make me feel things, Beth. That´s why you have to stay. Hell´s whole lot brighter with you in it.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“(...) I don´t want a drink. I just want to know where am I?
-You´re not in Kansas anymore!- Jake chuckled at his own joke.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“There was nothing else to do but call upon the Creator,
praying, begging, pleading, bargaining—anything to make
him protect Xavier. I couldn’t have him ripped away from
me like that. I could survive emotional turmoil; I could
survive the most intense physical torture. I could survive
Armageddon and holy fire raining down upon the earth, but I
could not survive without him.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“Never love that which you cannot keep.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“Love has to be reciprocated for it to be real.”

“Put it this way, how do you feel about the supernatural?”
“I’m fine with it,” Molly replied coolly. “I used to watch Charmed and Buffy and all those shows.”
Gabriel winced slightly. “This isn’t quite the same thing.”
“Okay, well, listen to this. Last week my horoscope in Cosmo told me I was going to meet an enchanting stranger
and this guy on the bus gave me his phone number. I’m a total believer now.”
“Yeah, you’ve really seen the light,” Xavier said under his breath.
“Did you know that Sagittarians have a problem with sarcasm?” Molly snapped.
“That would be very enlightening, except I’m a Leo.”
“Yeah, well, everyone knows they’re a pack of assholes!”
“My God, you’re like talking to a rock.”
“You’re a rock!”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“If you think you love me, then you don’t know what love is,' Gabriel said. 'Love has to be reciprocated for it to be real.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“Strano come certi ridicoli rituali appaiano perfettamente sensati quando si è innamorati.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“They want to hold a seance and go dressed as bunnies.”
“What kind of bunnies?” he asked suspiciously.
“Playboy, I think. Whatever that means.”
“That sounds about right.” Xavier laughed. “But don’t let them talk you into anything you don’t feel comfortable with.”
“They’re my friends.”
“So what?” He shrugged. “If your friends walked off a cliff, would you do it too?”
“Why would they walk off a cliff?” I asked in alarm. “Is someone having problems at home?”
Xavier laughed. “It’s just an expression.”
“It’s silly,” I told him. “Do you think I should go as an angel? Like in the film version of Romeo and Juliet?”
“There would be a certain irony in that,” Xavier said, smirking. “An angel posing as a human posing as an angel.
I like it.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“I only had one thought as the blackness closed in, drawing me back to my beloved earth. I was going back to the life I'd known before, the life I'd missed and longed for...but there in Xavier's arms, I was already home.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
“Me miré en el espejo y pensé que quiza Tuck tuviera razón después de todo. Tal vez tenía que dejar de pensar en esto como un sórdido acto de traición y verlo como el último acto de amor.”
Alexandra Adornetto, Hades
