I haven't been reading a lot this break, i've been spending a lot of time just being on the computer and crocheting. I made something special for someone! And it turned out great!!!!! :) :) :) :)
I'm almost done with Misguided Angels by Melissa De La Cruz.... scratch that... I'm almost 1/2 way done with it.... so i still have a while. After that, i'm going to possibly read Beloved by Toni Morrison with Alan. If i ever get to it then i might possibly write a review, but only if it's worth my time.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving :)
Read books.... THEY'RE GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

Maximum Ride #4: The Final Warning
Well, this book was sort of a let down for me. When i picked it up, i was expecting it to be a little thicker than what it was, but it still packed a lot of stuff in it. I sort of felt that it was pretty rushed. I felt that things just didn't stop happpening. Also another "villan" was introduced and killed all in the same book. It leaves me wondering what else would happen in the next two books. (I have the Fifth one ready to read! but i think i'll read misguided angels by Melissa De La Cruz first.
Well, first off the first thing i remember is that Max and the flock are all attending Ari's funeral. It was really sad. Jeb was there too! It was interesting to see this at the beginning of the book. I felt that i would have been much sadder if the author went into much more detail, but this part still left me a little sad. Not full blown crying, but just sad. Then the next thing that i remember was Max being carted off in a Jet ready to have a meeting with the bigwigs of america!
Nudge develops new powers. She is "magnetic". At least her hands are. She was sitting on the jet playing with her new power. When they got to the White House they had their meeting. The goverment officials wanted to study the flock in exchange for the government protection and education. Max was not buying into any of that (You go girl!) She and the flock jumped out a window and flew off.
They rested in a forest. There, Fang descovered a new power! (what were his powers before anyway??) If he held still and quiet, he could basically blend into the background an become sort of invisible. Then, The flock was going to Argentina. They were supposed to help a team of scientists who are studying global warming and Antartica. They got onto another jet! Then they got onto a boat. THere, Total met Akila. Akila was the boat's mascot. A while malemute. Total fell head over heels----- or should i say paws for her! I felt like it was just an obsession. Like Total was obsessed with Akila. I guess i'll have to wait to see how their "relationship" plays out. But TOTAL IS GROWING WINGS!!!! They aren't big enough for him to fly in this book yet.
In the boat ride, Fang gets attatched to the Doctor. Bidgid. Max gets jealous. In Antartica, one of the scientists gets attacked by a seal! Then they all find out that she was a spy! for some dude named Uber DIrector (what kind of a name is that?) He was bascially machine. All his internal organs are stored in a tank with his head on top. He's basically a bunch of building blocks. THese tanks are clear btw so a person could totallly see what was inside... GROSS RIGHT??
Also, in ANtarctica, Angel discoveres a new power! (well maybe not in antarctica... i just don't remember when!) She can change her appearance. So far, she can only do a bird girl (not what she is, but like a bird of paradise, she'll grow feathers all over and stuff like that. And she can also do another girl. Idk what she looks like with that one.
Angel wanted a baby penguin as a pet. Max wouldn't let her. Then one day, Max noticed that Total, Angel, and Akila was missing. Turns out that Angel and them were all following a clan (what are penguins called in a group?). THEY FELL INTO A CREVECE! Max and Fang go looking for her. THey find her and decide that they should wait by building a snow cave. IT was getting really wacky in the snow cave. Max decided to punch out a hole for more air, because that could have been a reason why it was wacky. Then they get captured and taken to a building in Miami! (Gassy, Nudge, and Iggy were in the plane captured too!)
Turns out Uber director (UD) wanted to auction them off to powerful leaders of the world. A big huriccane was going on outside. Stuff happened (i don't think it's important) and then the UB and everyone else was caught in an even bigger hurricane! The glass in the building shattered! The flock made their way to the hallway. Then the glass at the end og the hallway broke. Winds rushed in and Max made everyone open their wings a little. Then they were airborne, flying to the other end of the room and out the window. The flock still can't open their wings all the way, or else they would be ripped off by the over 100 MPH winds! But they were flyingish....
Made way to eye of storm. Saw UD being carried by the winds outside of eye. Max decided to take away the frankenberry jerk (Gozen who was the one who captured the flock). WIthout frankenberry jerk holding the UD togeather, the UD shattered into many pieces and "died". Then they all waited out the storm... more stuff happens.
Then Max makes a speech with congress. more stuff happens. Max and the Flock goes to the opening of the school they are going to go to. THe VOICE in Max's head interupts and they fly off yet again!
Sorry i was so vague about the stuff happens. I didn't really want to go into much detail. It's just the fact that so many things happened in this story. It really should have had more chapters that go into more depth. I felt it was just quickly written. It could have been better. It was just a dissapppintment overall.

Maximum Ride #3: Saving the World and Other Extreame Sports
First off, A LOT of things were confessed and taken back in this book. It was sort of confusing at times, but at the end i managed to figure everything out ;) I enjoyed this book! It was one of my favorites, except for the fact that Angel was EVIL for some of it. Even though she wasn't really evil, she was pretending to be evil! I was actually convinced that she had turned evil! Which brings me back to Fang's e mail tip about one of them being a traitor. I knew it was angel when i read that, but i never expected it to be an actual plan of Max's.
Also, I was not prepared for the guys splitting up. I knew that Fang was against Ari, but he and Max obviously have a thing going on. I didn't expect them to leave, and even when they did, I didn't expect them to split by gender. Also, I would like to point out that Max is right. Iggy is a sexist pig! They're on a beach. Fang is trying to make plans and all Iggy wants to know is what the girls are wearing and doing!
Also, Didn't expect Fang's blog to be as helpful as it was. I couldn't believe that all those people, CHILDREN, were attacking the grown-ups! I'm so proud of them :) Maybe i should write a blog entry in NINJA INCORPERATED! about that.... I think i shall... but maybe later. Anyway, back to the story. This book was just full of stuff. I'm glad that Dr. Martinez and Ella were actually the mother and sister to Max. She deserves something right in her life. I just don't appreciate the fact that Jeb was her father and that they decided to just have her for the sake of the world. It would have been better if they actually had feelings for each other besides just having Max so that they could experiment on her. I also was kind of sad that Ari had to die..... I was sort of hoping that the expiration dates didn't actually work.... I want all of the Flock members to live out full human years.... I bet Dr. Martinez and Jeb wouldn't be very happy with their choice if they found out that their daughter would only live to be like 24 when she could have lived to 90+ being a regular person!
Lastly, I kind of cracked up when the Director of Inex said that she was part Galapagos Turtoise! I love those animals (poor lonely george... the last pinta island galapagos turtoise....) I was kind of shocked when she said that.... I wasn't hoping for that, i was hoping for her to snap out wings too! Or at least grow claws or something dramatic like that, but no it just had to be a galapagos turtoise!! Well i guess it was an advantage to the flock, but when she lives to be OLD and i mean really really OLD then i bet Max will be sorry for not killing her.... she'll cause a lot more pain! (shouldn't have pretended to be Max's mother.... She should have gone SPLAT!!! instead of being saved by Max and Nudge)
*Working on my punctuation and capitalization of the letter I <-- see!!! :) and capitalizing names.... I'm not good at that... I'm so used to Microsoft doing the capitalizing for me

(NON OFFICIAL!!! just randomness) Saving the World and Other Extreame Sports
That was such a long title to type. I am currently reading this book!!! I don't think i'll do another chapter by chapter thing. It took way to long! Doing Torment was almost torture, althought i did enjoy going through it again. But for Maximum Ride, there would just be too many chapters! I am on Chapter 74 of Maximum Ride!!! 74!!! CHAPTERS!!! Do you know how hard that would be to type out what happened in EACH and EVERY chapter!!! tHAT WOULD BE EXTREAMLY REDUNDANT AND TIME WASTING...... oppsies, had caps lock on, but it worked well to the effect of what i was saying!!! Oh well, I'll finish Maximum Ride soon enough and have up a short sort of summary....
I just noticed that most of my book summaries are just my reactions, I don't really give anything away... on second thought, i give random things away that would not even add up to anything important! It would be hard to not give anything away. The only way to not give anything away is to just post the regular book summary! Have you noticed that it is just very very very very vague! I hate those, I want something that would give away a little bit more than the regular book summaries that they give inside the book jackets or on the back of books!
Like, I had to get Misguided Angels by Melissa De La Cruz again, because i couldn't remember if i read it already or not. If the book summary gave away a little bit more, I would not have had to carry another book home from the library! All it's doing is taking up space!!! Oh, and i also got I kissed a Zombie and I liked it by Adam something, I don't know, But i was surprised that it was not a thick book. The boo summary made it seem like it would be an extreamly long book, at least a little bigger than what it was. Another one also surprised me, but i don't remember what the title was... It was a very interesting experience!

Maximum Ride #2: School's out--- FOREVER!!!!
Three finished posts in a day! How amazing is that? I think it's super amazing! Well i just finished reading the second book in the Maximum Ride series. At first i didn't think that i would like this book, that it wasn't worth it's hype. That's how i felt about twilight too, but i ended up loving it! (book is WAY better than the movies, the movies can NEVER get it right!)
This book was pretty good though, so was the first one. Every single time the Erasers showed up i wasn't expecting it, at least not in the first book, but in this book i wasn't expecting Ari's brain to be as twisted as his was. He apparently loved Max, but wanted to freaking kill her?! Or cut off her wings so that she would be forced to stay with him and become her friend.... But the little boy from Splash Mountain surprised me too, didn't expect anyone to like Ari.
Also the Erasers with wings was a huge surprise!!! and the other Max.... not expecting that either... there were so many things that changed, so many things that i wasn't expecting at all! And it was so very entertaining that i finished the whole book today, It only took like 5 1/2 hours, but still! It was so worth it!
Now i don't have another book to read! No book for tomorrow, but i might be going to the library tomorrow, so it won't even matter, but still!!! I won't have one early tomorrow though...
Speaking of going to the library, I need to go look up some books so that i don't have to spend all day at the library trying to decide what to read! :) I'm so glad i got back into reading, I missed it so much! But I was occupied with Alan... but still in the beginning of our relationship i could still read, but then i got more into alan and less into books! I'm glad i can balance both now. Reading will always be a part of my life! :)

Forever Night by YOURS TRULY!!! ME!!! :)
This is the prologue to my book! :) I'm so proud that i'm continuing this book, unlike my other ones... The other ones only made it to like 3 pages at the most, with probably three chapters. This one is at 16 pages!!!!!! <---- AMAZING! and 6 chapters :) I don't know, the idea sort of came to me when i was sitting at the library last year. I was thinking of SOS (Some One Special in case you didn't know) and then i just thought of the prologue. This is NO WAY related to my life.I only have one guy in my life :) I also came up with the title when i was writing one of my poems. I named it forever night and i thought that was the perfect title for my book!!! well... i think i prolonged this enough so here it is!
Prologue
My heart beats rapidly as night started to take over. I turned around and there he was. I had no idea what to say. My mind was a complete blank. I can’t believe that it chose this moment to malfunction. James looked much more handsome than I last saw him. His hair had lightened due to the sun. He was beginning to tan and it looked good. It looked really really good.
I can’t believe that I am about to do this. My dream was coming true, but am I beginning to have doubts? I’ll have to leave everyone I love. Can I truly leave my long time boyfriend, Michael, for James? I have to admit that I felt a connection with James, but I have been with Michael for almost all of middle school and part of high school.
“Are you ready?” James asked in a very deep voice. It was deeper than usual. Was he sensing that I had doubts? This was no time to think about this now. I love James. I am ready to do this.
“Yes, I am ready,” I replied trying to hide my doubts. I stepped closer to him and stared into his eyes. I hope that he can tell that I’m ready. I am.
“Are you sure you want to do this? You will be giving up everyone you love. You will be giving up your friends, family, and even Michael,” James said. Did I detect a hint of jealousy when he said Michael’s name. I’m pretty sure that it was. That thought made me smile. I caught myself before it showed.
“Yes, I am ready. I love you James. Michael is the past and this is the present. You are my true love and I want to be with you forever,” as soon as I said that, I realized that it was true. I really do love James and I’m ready to give up my life for him. James walked closer. He pulled me into an embrace.
I was ready for this. There was no more time for doubts. James moved my brown hair aside so that he could have easier access to my neck. As James came closer I was struck with a sense of fear. I tried to push down my natural instincts. I need to distract myself so that James can finish. I wanted to join him. I needed to join him. It was my destiny.
I tried to distract myself. I tried to remember when we first meet, how this all started on that one day. The first day.
It looks so short on this post, but i promise! it's 1 whole page on microsoft word! (not double spaced and 12 point Times new roman font!)
Here is the poem that inspired the lovely title!!!!! Title of the poem is also Forever Nigh
There is nothing
Pure emptiness
Pure silent
No movement
Just darkness
Darkness everywhere
A trap
Once the sun shined here
When you were with me
But you’re gone...
And you took away the sun
And left me in darkness
In a state of
FOREVER NIGHT

Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia (Possible Spoilers)
I loved this book too! It was amazing and i was caught up in Lena and Ethan's love story. Some parts it was a drag, but mostly it was so intense! I wasn't expecting the ending! Who would have believed that Link will be an Incubus while Ridly was a human. It was the complete opposite at the beginning of the book.
Also who would have thought that Abraham was alive! And he created a son with an Evo. That was just so surprising. I wonder if he killed the Evo after John Breed was born. Is he still making more hybrids? I won't know until the next book!!! >.<
And also the book was just so full of surprised. Live, Lucille, Link, Amma, EVERYTHING!!! This one won't be a chapter by chapter because torment was still better. (and because it's sort of due tomorrow... and there is no way that i can do all those chapters in so little time!!!) i think i'll post the prologue to my story here, since i already did it on Goodreads but i didn't on here. wow..,. i got sort of offtrack, but that's me! :)

Torment by Lauren Kate (Spoiler Alert)
OMG!!!! I just finished reading the book, and i cannot wait for summer of 2011!!!!! IT HAD THE WORST POSSIBLE ENDING!!! It was such a huge cliff hanger! I screamed at it when i finshed the book! I even threw it down in frustration...! AHHHH!!! You can probably tell how mad i am at the book right now, i'm so full of adreniline that i can't even type straight... The last few chapters of the book was amazing! I couldn't put it down! It made me ignore some very important people that i was texting just so i can finish the freaking book! OMG IT was amazing! I'll porbably do a chapter by chapter breakdown so that i can know what happened... I'll probably read this again.
I'm doing the chapter by chapter breakdow/ summary because i want to remember what happened. I forgot what happened for Fallen, and that just made the beginning of torment so confusing! I just want to be able to remember, and since this book has 19 chapters, this will be a pretty lengthy post. I'm just scared that i won't remember this SUPER AMAZING BOOK!!! I give 5 out of 5 stars! Read it!!!
Goodreads summary:
How many lives do you need to live before you find someone worth dying for? In the aftermath of what happened at Sword & Cross, Luce has been hidden away by her cursed angelic boyfriend, Daniel, in a new school filled with Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans. Daniel promises she will be safe here, protected from those who would kill her. At the school Luce discovers what the Shadows that have followed her all her life mean - and how to manipulate them to see into her other lives. Yet the more Luce learns about herself, the more she realizes that the past is her only key to unlocking her future...and that Daniel hasn't told her everything.

Luce's parents came out and Luce introduced everybody. Luce's mom could tell that Luce loved Daniel. Then they were all seated for Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner, Luce's parents left for a walk.
LUCE SAW A FLASH OF WING! Daniel came up behind her and told Cam to get hid Bow ready!!!! EVERYONE STARTED PANICING (you know when people ask what's going on, what's going on? well that was happening!) Everybody (all the angels and demons) were being gathered. Luce herd a scream. She thought it was CALLIE! so she ran to the back door. There she saw SAEB (who would have thought!!!! not me! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!) He was an OUTCAST! Cam told the OUTCAST to take things outside! Then all the angels and demons unfurled their wings (I WANT WINGS!) and walked out. Luce looked out the kitchen window and SAW EVERYTHING! IT WAS AN ARMY OF OUTCASTS!!! Luce ran out the door. The OUTCAST had dirty hole riddled wings. The guys had short cropped hair and the girls had white ponytails. Daniel saw her and told her to get inside! She refused! (who would REFUSE when she had arrows pointed at her?! NOT ME FOR SURE! unless it was alan out there...)
The outcasts pointed their arrows and shot! Molly flew down with rakes and she was twirling them like batons. The STARSHOTS bounced off. Then Phil (SAEB) said that they would not hold back. Cam told everybody to gather the starshots and to get Luce inside. Adrianne and Roland were using their wings to gather up the STARSHOTS. Then Gabbe jumped up on the railing of the deck. She focused on the OUTCASTS and pointed her right wing at the ground under the OUTCASTs. A HUGE crvice opened and at least twenty OUTCASTs fell in! Then another stream of Starshots rained down. One landed by Daniel and he took it and threw it. It killed an OUTCAST. Luce was about to go back inside when she saw outcasts in her house. Daniel told her to find somewhere else to hide. She was going to go to the storage shed.
When they were almost there, Luce herd a whizzing and Callie cried out. The outcast had hit Callie, but since she was a human, the starshot hadd no effect on her. They continued to the shed. Then Miles decides to try and be a hero and takes a Kayak, put it over his head, and rushed out into the battle. Luce tried to go after him. She saw him ramming the Kayak into PHIL (still SAEB). Miles managed to pin Phil to the ground, but then a stranger girl walked out. She said no mercy and was about to shoot. Luce told everyone to STOP. Luce told her not to shoot and she was the one that they wanted.
Chapter 19: The truce is broken <--- i'll finish later :)
The OUTCAST girl lowered her bow. She told Luce that if Luce wanted the boy to live, then she will obey. Then the OUTCAST told Luce that they would never kill her. That she was the key so that they can get back into heaven. Luce asked Daniel to explain the truce. THen the OUTCAST girl said that she could take Luce away if she wanted to. The some people said stuff and then Molly killed the OUTCAST before she could kill Shelby.
Then Phil (SAEB) rose up behing Molly and pointed his bow at Daniel. Luce jumped infront of Daniel. Then she saw Miles staring at her. All of the sudden her voice said that she would go with the outcasts. Miles had projected Luce to Phil's side. (WHICH MEANS HE FREAKING LOVE HER! SINCE HE CAN ONLY PROJECT PEOPLE THAT HE LOVES OR LIKES A LOT!!!) Luce realized what Miles was doing and stepped back into the shed. The mirror Luce said that she would go and took the hand of Phil. The outcasts took off.
Daniel was SOOO heartbroken, he thought that he lost the real Luce (didn't realise the one went was a mirror). Then Cam took a STARSHOT and fired it at Luce. Daniel was just a shell of himself. (He thought he lost Luce, the one love of her life! and that Cam had killed her.) Luce was about to step out of the shed, when she noticed an Anouncer. She touched the Anouncer, and it made a sizzling sound. Daniel heard the sound and saw Luce. Then Luce said "time to go" and opened a shadow door. Roland shouted that it was dangerous. Daniel jogged towards her. Luce said "Guess i'll just have to find out", BY NOW DANIELL WAS RUNNING TOWARDS HER. Luce was about to say I love you to Daniel, but she didn't. She lept into the shadow door.
Epilogue: Pandemonium (notice that it has the word demon in it?)
Everyone was talking. It was mostly about where Luce went, but Daniel was not. He was an island, closed off to everything but his own pain. He thought that he had failed her. Then everyone was arguing because Miles asked why the ANNOUNCER couldn't be put together. Then Daniel told everyone to stop. He said he was going after her. Everyone wanted to help him. Then they heard a dog yipping, it was Luce's parents coming back. Daniel looked at Gabbe and Gabbe told him to go.
He found an ANNOUNCER and he opened a portal (he hasn't traveled back in ages). He walked into the ANNOUNCER. Behind him, everyone was still talking but he didn't care. All he cared about was finding Luce.
Last lines:
Would he find her?
Without a question.
Would he save her?
Always.

Goodreads summary:
How many lives do you need to live before you find someone worth dying for? In the aftermath of what happened at Sword & Cross, Luce has been hidden away by her cursed angelic boyfriend, Daniel, in a new school filled with Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans. Daniel promises she will be safe here, protected from those who would kill her. At the school Luce discovers what the Shadows that have followed her all her life mean - and how to manipulate them to see into her other lives. Yet the more Luce learns about herself, the more she realizes that the past is her only key to unlocking her future...and that Daniel hasn't told her everything. What if his version of the past isn't actually the way things happened...what if Luce was really meant to be with someone else?

Daniel knew that Luce would die, but he jumped down and kissed her anyway. Luce tried to save her past self by trying to jump into the Anouncer when someone grabber her. It was SHelby and Miles. They told her that Dawn was missing! Luce went back to the lodge and figured out that whoever took Dawn thought that Dawn was Luce. Dawn was taken BY MISTAKE!
Chapter 12: seven days
Luce woke up and thought about Daniel. Would she had a chance at a normal life if Daniel just kept away from her? Miles knocked on the door and told Luce and Shelby that Dawn was found. Steven went to get her. Then Shelby and Miles convinced Luce to glimpse some more shadows. She glimpse into an anouncer that showed her her sister from a past life. The sister was still alive and was working at Las Vegas. Miles and Shelby convinced Luce to travel through the shadow into Las Vegas. They all three traveled through the announcer and went to find Luce's sister. They found her table and sat down. Luce's sister asked for id and when they didn't show her, she told them to go to the circus. Miles gave Luce a 20 dollar bill. When Luce's sister gave it back, their hands touched and Luce went into a memory of her sister's. It was when she died in her past life. Luce's sister freaked out and called security. Then Adriana (another angel) showed up.
Chapter 13: Six days
Adriana took them outside of the casino. Then she took them to a Diner. Inside the IHOP, they ordered and began talking. They talked about the End times (epic battle between angels and demons that will possibly happen in the future). Luce learns that Daniel is the one angel that needs to decide between good and evil. Once he decides that will tip the "scale" and the battle would start. Then an outcast walked up to the table. Adriana took care of it in the kitchen and Luce, Shelby, and Miles went to go watch.Then Adriana killed the OUTCAST. Luce learned that she emmits a light that show people where she is. Adriana took all the teens back to Shoreline. When they got back, Daniel was waiting for Luce. Luce explained that she left because Daniel wasn't telling her anything. She told him about all the things that she's learned about the truce. then they got into an argument and she left him ourside.
Chapter 14: five days
Someone told on Luce and her friends and how they went off campus to Vegas. The three friends sat in Steven's and Francesca's office discussing why it was so complicated for Daniel to choose good or evil. Francesca and Steven walked in to give them their punishment. Shelby and Miles had to do community service for the Harvest Fest Food Drive. Luce was on lockdown (grounded). Luce went back to her dorm to see 3 e mails from her parents and 1 from Callie. Luce wrote an e mail to Mr. Cole telling him to tell her family that she can't go. The Shelby walked in with her some stuff for the Food Drive. Then they saw an ANNOUNCER. This one showed Luce the scene from the prologue (daniel killed the man!). She wanted to glimps it again, so she went out to the ledge. The shadow came back. She glimpsed it, tried to claw at the Announcer, it broke. She figured Daniel and Cam aren't enemies- they're partners!
Chapter 15: four days
Luce was at Harvest Fest. Luce met Mile's grandmother. She wanted to know where Miles was. Luce went to get him. She found miles and had a conversation with him (i believe he was going to tell her that he liked her!!!) Francesca interupted. Miles went to find his grandmother while Francesca escorted Luce back to her dorm. An hour later, Miles knocked on the window. He brought Luce flowers. Luce went out onto the ledge with him. Miles confessed that he liked her. Luce looked up at Miles and they KISSED!!!!!!!!! Miles left after and Luce sat there. She looked out one last time and she saw DANIEL!!!! He was watching her, and he saw her kiss miles! and then Luce called out to him. BUT HE LEFT!!!!!!! STUPID LUCE!! SHE HAD AN ANGEL! THAT LOVED HER!!! AND SHE KISSED ANOTHER GUY!!!!!
Chapter 16: three days
It was the last day of classes. Shelby caught up to Luce and they were having a conversation. They talked about Daniel and why he chose Luce and stuff like that (you know, the regular stuff that girls talk about ;) ) THen the students were heading to class. Luce saw Steven staring at her (creepy teacher alert!! At least he's hot!) When class was over, Luce watched everyone else leave. She then got a text from Mr. Cole saying everything was taken care of. Then she went back to her dorm. The Miles knocked on her door. He had board games and movies. They played the board games first. Then they watched the move. They both had to SIT ON LUCE'S BED in order to both see. (she's really leading people on here! because there is NO WAY that she can leave Daniel! I WON'T ALLOW IT!!)
Chapter 17: two days
Luce woke up. Adrianne was looking through her closet packing Luce's things. Adrianne told Luce that they were going to be able to go back to see her family and Callie for Thanksgiving. Then Roland walked in and Miles came with him. When he heard Luce was leaving, he packed his bags and went with Roland to Luce's room. Then Shelby walked in. Her SAEB was right behind her, but she closed the door on him. When she saw everybody, she started packing too. Then Roland and Adrianne opened an ANNOUNCER and they all walked through. They appeared at SWORD and CROSS. Luce went to visit Penn's grave. Adrianne and Shelby then helped Luce dye her hair back to the way it was. they were talking about why she did it. Adrianne is on Daniel's side, Shelby is on Mile's side.
Chapter 18: Thankgiving
Luce was FINALLY back home.Luce's parents didn't mind the extra guests. Then a car honked. It was CALLIE! and when Luce looked out, CAM AND DANIEL!!!! both got out of the cab with Callie. Luce went to open the door. She was suprised to find Gabbe and Molly standing out there. They went in and then Callie practically tackled Luce. After their hug, she looked at the guys. Luce's parents came out and Luce introduced everybody. Luce's mom could tell that Luce loved Daniel. Then they were all seated for Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner, Luce's parents left for a walk.
LUCE SAW A FLASH OF WING! Daniel came up behind her and told Cam to get hid Bow ready!!!! EVERYONE STARTED PANICING (you know when people ask what's going on, what's going on? well that was happening!) Everybody (all the angels and demons) were being gathered. Luce herd a scream. She thought it was CALLIE! so she ran to the back door. There she saw SAEB (who would have thought!!!! not me! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!) He was an OUTCAST! Cam told the OUTCAST to take things outside! Then all the angels and demons unfurled their wings (I WANT WINGS!) and walked out. Luce looked out the kitchen window and SAW EVERYTHING! IT WAS AN ARMY OF OUTCASTS!!! Luce ran out the door. The OUTCAST had dirty hole riddled wings. The guys had short cropped hair and the girls had white ponytails. Daniel saw her and told her to get inside! She refused! (who would REFUSE when she had arrows pointed at her?! NOT ME FOR SURE! unless it was alan out there...)
The outcasts pointed their arrows and shot! Molly flew down with rakes and she was twirling them like batons. The STARSHOTS bounced off. Then Phil (SAEB) said that they would not hold back. Cam told everybody to gather the starshots and to get Luce inside. Adrianne and Roland were using their wings to gather up the STARSHOTS. Then Gabbe jumped up on the railing of the deck. She focused on the OUTCASTS and pointed her right wing at the ground under the OUTCASTs. A HUGE crvice opened and at least twenty OUTCASTs fell in! Then another stream of Starshots rained down. One landed by Daniel and he took it and threw it. It killed an OUTCAST. Luce was about to go back inside when she saw outcasts in her house. Daniel told her to find somewhere else to hide. She was going to go to the storage shed.
When they were almost there, Luce herd a whizzing and Callie cried out. The outcast had hit Callie, but since she was a human, the starshot hadd no effect on her. They continued to the shed. Then Miles decides to try and be a hero and takes a Kayak, put it over his head, and rushed out into the battle. Luce tried to go after him. She saw him ramming the Kayak into PHIL (still SAEB). Miles managed to pin Phil to the ground, but then a stranger girl walked out. She said no mercy and was about to shoot. Luce told everyone to STOP. Luce told her not to shoot and she was the one that they wanted.
Chapter 19: The truce is broken <--- i'll finish later :)
The OUTCAST girl lowered her bow. She told Luce that if Luce wanted the boy to live, then she will obey. Then the OUTCAST told Luce that they would never kill her. That she was the key so that they can get back into heaven. Luce asked Daniel to explain the truce. THen the OUTCAST girl said that she could take Luce away if she wanted to. The some people said stuff and then Molly killed the OUTCAST before she could kill Shelby.
Then Phil (SAEB) rose up behing Molly and pointed his bow at Daniel. Luce jumped infront of Daniel. Then she saw Miles staring at her. All of the sudden her voice said that she would go with the outcasts. Miles had projected Luce to Phil's side. (WHICH MEANS HE FREAKING LOVE HER! SINCE HE CAN ONLY PROJECT PEOPLE THAT HE LOVES OR LIKES A LOT!!!) Luce realized what Miles was doing and stepped back into the shed. The mirror Luce said that she would go and took the hand of Phil. The outcasts took off.
Daniel was SOOO heartbroken, he thought that he lost the real Luce (didn't realise the one went was a mirror). Then Cam took a STARSHOT and fired it at Luce. Daniel was just a shell of himself. (He thought he lost Luce, the one love of her life! and that Cam had killed her.) Luce was about to step out of the shed, when she noticed an Anouncer. She touched the Anouncer, and it made a sizzling sound. Daniel heard the sound and saw Luce. Then Luce said "time to go" and opened a shadow door. Roland shouted that it was dangerous. Daniel jogged towards her. Luce said "Guess i'll just have to find out", BY NOW DANIELL WAS RUNNING TOWARDS HER. Luce was about to say I love you to Daniel, but she didn't. She lept into the shadow door.
Epilogue: Pandemonium (notice that it has the word demon in it?)
Everyone was talking. It was mostly about where Luce went, but Daniel was not. He was an island, closed off to everything but his own pain. He thought that he had failed her. Then everyone was arguing because Miles asked why the ANNOUNCER couldn't be put together. Then Daniel told everyone to stop. He said he was going after her. Everyone wanted to help him. Then they heard a dog yipping, it was Luce's parents coming back. Daniel looked at Gabbe and Gabbe told him to go.
He found an ANNOUNCER and he opened a portal (he hasn't traveled back in ages). He walked into the ANNOUNCER. Behind him, everyone was still talking but he didn't care. All he cared about was finding Luce.
Last lines:
Would he find her?
Without a question.
Would he save her?
Always.
