Okay! I'm bored,so I decided to make an entry just for my favorite parts out of books!
Disclaimer: None of this is my own work. I will add the title of the book above the excerpt,and the reason I have chosen that passage.
Excerpts:
~~Nightmare Academy (1)~~
Barakkas leaned down, preparing to squeeze his gigantic bulk through the gateway. He led with his right arm, his talon claws clenched into a fist. Around his wrist, Charlie could see an enormous bracer, glittering blackly. There were intricately carved faces on it-one of which he recognized as the face of Barakkas.
"I just want you to know that none of this is your fault," Rex said as the giant fist pushed out of the portal, dwarfing them. The red patterns that issued from the carved images on the bracer strobed past Charlie's face "You're a good kid, Charlie. Whatever happens, I just want you to know that." Just then, Charlie turned to him "Rex?" he said, as if seeing him for the first time. "What did you want me to do again?"
"Close the portal, kid," Rex said with a gental smile.
"Okay," Charlie replied, and, just like that, the portal slammed shut with a thunderous crack, severing the right arm of Barakkas.
((Any time I'm reading that book and picture this,it's cute))
~~The Society of S~~
I awoke with a start, once again thinking I'd heard someone calling my name.
"Ari?" A thin, high-pitched voice came from somewhere outside "Ari?"
I went to the window and pushed aside the heavy curtains. She stood below, bare feet in the snow, her black t-shirt torn, her figure lit by the lamppost in the driveway behind her. Worst was her head, which looked as if it had been pulled off and put back on at an impossable angle. She looked lopsided.
"Ari?" Kathleen called "Come out and play?" her body swayed as she spoke.
But it wasn't her voice-it was pitched too high,and it was singsong
"Come out and play with me?" She said.
I began to shake.
Then my father strode out from the back enterence. "Go. Go back to your grave." His voice wasn't loud, but its power made me shake even more.
Kathleen stood a moment longer, swaying slightly. Then she turned and walked away, jerking like a marionette, her head bent foreward.
((This always makes me sad when I read it,but it's also creepy))
~~Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star~~
(SPOILER WARNING!!!)
Waiting impatiently on the limb, Kendra was stunned to see Warren climb out onto the observation platform atop the cottage. She watched him in astounded silence as he stretched and rubbed his arms. The night was too dim for her to observe details, but he appeared to be moving about like a normal person.
"Warren!" she hissed.
He jumped and turned toward her "Who's there?" he asked.
She was so surprised to hear him speak that it momentarily prevented her from answering. "You can talk! Oh my gosh! What happened?"
"Of course I can talk. I'm sorry-who are you?"
"I'm Kendra." She couldn't believe it. He seemed perfectly fine.
"I'm going to need a little more to go on." He squinted in her direction. The night probably looked darker to him than it did to her, and of course she was invisable.
"I'm Kendra Sorenson. Stan and Ruth are my grandparents."
"If you say so. What compelled you to hide in a tree in the middle of the night? Can you tell me how I got here?"
"Meet me at the back door," Kendra said "I'll be there in a second."
((My favorite character has just been properly introduced besides just sitting blankly due to catatonia. And he's Albino!))
~~The Silver Kiss~~
"Yeah,he's too dumb to be scared." Simon turned his back on the third one,the one who had said that. He was a sheep. The big one was a bully,but the leather clad one was trouble. He was crazy. He didn't smoke weed,he smoked green. Simon could smell it on him. It reeked like burning plastic and it killed the brain. It made people think they couldn't die.
"This is our playground,buddy."
"Yeah,wanna play?"
Simon finally spoke. "Is that what you said to your mother last night?"
"Son of a..." the big one charged him,swinging meaty fists
((XDDDD A vampire telling a 'your mother' insult! This,literally,kept me in a good mood the rest of the day. I can't even explain how great this is! I heart Simon!))
~~~~~~~
Simon spat. He had better not linger with this corpse. He glanced over at the woman,shuddering at her grimace of death. There was something under her. Despite his repulsion he went over to explore.
It was the teddy bear,now spotted with blood. Simon picked it up. It was lumpy and hard,not a comfortable toy. There was a rip under one arm,and something pattered to the floor-soil. Simon smiled,then a chuckle rose to his lips. Soil.
Wham! Stars in his head. Blackness. He fell.
"I forgot something," A small,hard voice said,and the bear was snatched from Simons hands.
"Thanks for the use of the stick," called the voice from far away.
((I felt bad for poor Simon here,but it also struck me as amusing he could be incompacitated so easily,even if the stick was weilded by another vampire.))
~~~~~~~
"Please stay," he said in tones soft as a lullaby. His eyes were huge,dark,and gentle. She hesitated for a moment. He seemed so understanding. Surely she could talk to him. Then her anger surfaced again. The manipulative jerk,she thought.
"I don't know what you're after," she said, "but you can look for it somewhere else." She turned and walked firmly away.
"It strikes me." he called after her in a voice now with an edge to it "that girls who sit alone in parks at night are the ones after something."
((XDDDD Ohhhh,burn!!!))
I'll add more soon.
