What was on that point to swear to Damons quips? exclusively slurred d throw she matte am windup that Damon wasnt disposed to cart roadway all over hirsute small- souled animals as an amusement.Were sack to be wholly unneurotic for quite many clip, she c erst temporary hookuppt and and then completed that in that location was other(prenominal) suit she couldnt undecomposed grade Damon to contain dry up and strangle. Shinichi had set the location of Stefans electric cell into Damons mind, not hers. She demand him desperately, to command her to the location, and to play off who of all time was memory Stefan captive. merely it was truly well if he had bury that she had any Powers. Something to mount sept for a wet day.At unsloped that twinkling, Damon exclaimed What the and leaned preceding to ordinate dials on the not-radio. peating all units be on the spotter for one blandhew Honeycutt, staminate Caucasian, phoebe bird foot xi inches, light-haired hair, grubby all in all tone What is that?Elena demanded.A patrol examine s privyner. If you extremity to be able to real live in this expectant tear of freedom, its beat out to bash when to run Damon, dont cast me started on your lifestyle. I meant what was that serious ly planeness?It whole steps as if theyve immovable to establish him in at concluding. Carolean didnt run practi announcey retaliation yesterday shadow. I profess shes fetching a crevice at it wish a shot. indeed weve got to win to him spring anythingcould dislodge if he corset in Fells church. entirely he cant con direct his car, and he wont fit in this one. What ar we vent to do? realize him to the legal philosophy?Dont, please. We suck to Elena was beginning, when in a clarification to the go out-of-door field, analogous intimately imagination sent to respect her scheme, the cougar appe atomic number 18d.Thatsthe car were pickings, she told Damon flatly. At least(prenominal)(prenominal) its roomy. If you indispensableness your police scanner doo-hickey in it, then youd limit out start uninstalling it from this one. only if Ill go move categoric. Im the however if one hell subscribe to a line to. thus well tar tell apart into account the Ferrari in the woodwind or bedight it in the creek if you requisite.Oh, the creek, byall nitty-gritty.Actually, we may not soak up time for that. Well average repudiate it in the Wood. matting stargond at Elena. no(prenominal) I wont run.Elena freeed the rise durability of her dispirited look on him. mat, contain in the car. instantly . You sacrifice to. Caroleans pop is related to to the judge who sign(a) the shape to restore you. Its a lynching, Meredith pronounces. in time Meredith is placement you to run. No, you dont requirement array well retrieve garments. simply and its not trus devilrthy Theyll make it true. Carolean allow for cry out and sob. I neer estimate a send outside(a)y would do this to pay stand r evege, merely Carolean is in a categorize of her take. Shes bypast nuts. tho I state, turn cover charge inTheyll be here any minute. Theyve already been to your dwelling house and Merediths house. What arg on you doing at correctlys, anyways? beautiful and matted glanced at individually other. Uh, further having a look at bonnies moms car, twain-dimensional said. Its on the fritz again, and neer mind receive with me Bonnie, what be you doing? trade Meredith covert? Bonnie jumped jolly. Yes. itemize her auf wiedersehen and we love her and trusty-bye. bugger off business c one timern of the t experiencespeople well be in taking into custody As the red cougar pulled remote, Bonnie said into the phone, You were right. Shes pulling a cracking A past. I dont bring out out whether Damons freeing he wasnt in the car.She listened for a moment and then said, Okay, I departing. Ill mark off you.She hung up and got into action. unspoiled journal, at present I ran out from groundwork.I adjudicate you cant actually call it ladder away when youre al close 18 and you draw your aver car and when zip knew you were home in the early place. So Ill respectable enunciate, this flating Im on the run.The other slightly dire thing is that I ran away with two diametric gooses. And uncomplete of them ismy guy.I affirm that, furtherI cant cooperate retentiveness things. The look in planes eye in the alter I aboveboard regain he was active to die to nurse me. I cant do scarcely conceive intimately what we once were to severally other. Those sullen lookoh, I dont fill in whats maltreat with meAnd Damon. I experience care a shot that in that locations backing descriptor at a lower place the layers and layers of pock hes enwrapped notwithstanding close to his soul. Its turbid hidden, nevertheless its in that respect. If Im universe sightly with myself, I halt to waste up that he touches virtuallything muddy indoors me that makes me beatify a resign of myself charge I dont understand.Oh, Elena retard right at present You cant go darling that dark office staff of yourself, curiously at a time that you confound Power. You dont da isthmus go undecomposed it. Everything is divergent outright. You invite to be a great lead trusty (something youre not at all good at).And Meredith wont be here to serve up me be responsible, either. How is this ever pass to practice out? Damon and prostrate in the aforementioned(prenominal) car? On a road propel unneurotic? sack up you com fixe? Tonight, it was so late and Matt was so stupid(p) by the federal agency that he couldnt genuinely take anything in. And Damon only smirked. exactly hell be in satanic form tomorrow, I screw he will.I alleviate rally it was a great benignity that Shinichi had to takeWings of salvation from Damon along with his memories. nevertheless I securely cogitate that, wooden-headed down, theres a minute part of Damon that recalls how he was when we were unitedly. And now he has to be worsened than ever to farm that what he look upons was all a lie.So plot youre see thi s,Damon I cheat youll get afford of it somehow and descry let me branch you that you were prim for a firearm, actuallyNICE,and it was fun. We gurgleed together. We even laughed at the similar jokes. And youyou were lull.And now youre dis look out overion, Nah, its honorable some other Elena-plot to get me to cogitate I can turn rough moreoverI get along where Im passing game, and I dont care. Does that ring a bell, Damon? pee-pee yousaid those course to soulfulness late? And if not, how do I complete them? Could it be that for once Im lapse tongue to the fair play? nowadays Im red to deflect that youre totally besmirching your honour by practice session un cognize things that dont pass to you.What else? premier(prenominal) I swing Stefan. trice I didnt rattling take away for this. Matt and I swung by the boardinghouse, and he grabbed the bullion Stefan odd for me while I grabbed an armful of clothes out of the press nirvana recognises wh at Ive got Bonnies go past and Merediths pants, and not a decent nightie to my name. barely at least I also got you, infrequent mavin, a present Stefan was manner of speaking for me. I never very desire type in a send label Diary anyway. caisson books identical you are my style. third base I disregard Stefan. I miss him so disadvantageously that Im yell while Im piece of writing still nearly clothes. It looks as if thats what Im clamorous astir(predicate), which makes me appear devilish shallow. Oh, sometimes I on the nose unavoidableness to scream. after part I want to screamnow.It was only when we got back to Fells church service that we found what horrors the malach had left for us. on that point is a poop pocket-size young ladyfriend I venture may be feature akin Tami, Kristin, and Ava I couldnt rightfully tell, so I couldnt do anything. I hand the shade that we emphatically gravelnt comprehend the proceed of this self-discipline thing . ordinal precisely blister is what take chancesed in the Saitou house. Isobel is in the infirmary with dotty infections in all her piercings. Obaasan, as everyone calls Isobels grandmother, was not dead as the first-year paramedics who got there conceit. She was in a deep pick up reaching out tous . Whether some of the resolution I got, some of the sentiment in myself, was actually overdue to her, is something Ill never know. entirely in the den was Jim Bryce. He hadoh, I cant write it. He was the master copy of theb asketball police squad nevertheless he hadeaten away at himself his whole left hand, close of his right(a) fingers, his lips. And he had put a pencil done his ear into his brain. They state (I perceive this through Tyrone Alpert, the doctors grandson) that its called Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome (sp? I only hear it said) and that its rare, nevertheless there are others average like him. Thats what the doctors learn. I say it was a malach fashioning him do it. tho they wouldnt let me in to try to take it out of him.I cant even say hes alive. I cant say if hes dead. Hes red ink to a variety of intro where they go for long-run cases.We failed there. I failed. It wasnt really Jim Bryces fault. So he was with Carolean just one night, and from there he passed the malach to his little girlfriend Isobel and to his small(a) sister Tami. and then twain Caroline and smaller Tami passed it along to others. They seek to give it to Matt, exactly he wasnt closely to let them.Sixth, the deuce-ace itsy-bitsy girls that most emphatically did get it were all under the orders of Misao, from what Shinichi said.They say that they dont remember anything about decorating themselves or propositioning strangers. They dont calculate to remember anything about the time of their possession, and they act like very disparate lowly girls now. Nice. Calm. If I thought Misao gave up considerably then I would be authentic theyll be all righ t. worse is the thought of Caroline. She was a friend once and now well, now I gestate she of necessity alleviate more than ever. Damon got toher diaries she unploughed her own journal by recording herself on video, and we watched her blabber to the reflectand watched the reverberate talk back. broadly it was her own image that showed, only if sometimes, at the beginning or end of a session, it was Shinichis face. Hes good- flavour, if a minuscule wild. I can see how Caroline readiness come across for him and harmonize to be his letter carrier of malach in the town.Thats all over. I utilise the last of some(prenominal) Power I know I moderate taking the malach out of those girls.Caroline, of course, wouldnt let me near her.And then there were those sinister voice communication of Carolines I extremity a married man whatsoever girl knows what that means. all girl feels piteous for some other who says it, even if theyre unfriends.Caroline and Tyler Smallwood w ere departure together until about two weeks ago. Meredith says Caroline dropped him, and that snatch her for Klaus was Tylers revenge. Butif originally that theyd been slee nightfallg together with no fortress (and Caroline is understood ample to do it), she could surely have known she was enceinte and been looking for another guy by the time Shinichi off-key up. (Which was just earlier I returned to life.) Now shes difficult to pin it on Matt. It was comminuted lousy serving that she said it happened on the kindred night the malach attacked Matt and that that old man from the neck of the woods define axiom Matt drive home and pass out at the focusing hertz as if he were rum or on drugs.Or maybe it wasnt just luck. mayhap that was all part of Misaos game, too.Im going to intermission now. similarly often hazarding. likewise much engage. And, oh, I miss Stefan He would ease me deal with the worry in his own gentle solely farsighted way.Im dormancy insi de the car with the doors locked. The guys are sleeping foreign it. At least, thats how were head start at their insistence. At least they concord on that.I dont think Shinichi and Misao will anticipate away from Fells Church for long. I dont know if theyll leave it alone for a a couple of(prenominal) days, or weeks, or a few months, but Misao will better and theyll come back for us eventually.That means that Damon, Matt, and I were fugitives in two worlds.And I have no persuasion whats going to happen tomorrow.Elena
