_{she shook her head,    a small laugh falling from her lips.     ❝    yeah   —-   no kidding.     but it was what was right,     and i was tired of being forced to do the WRONG THING.    this life is always testing you,   you know?     always making you pick between two difficult choices,    both sides having so many cons.    it’s not easy.   ❞      but she was finding her way,    and it was getting slightly BETTER.      the small smirk remains on her lips as she nods her head slowly,     accepting that spencer is at least making an effort.      ❝   —-   thank you,  ❞      she taunts,     doing her job to protect someone who nearly feels like her older brother at this point     (     the kind that she’s comfortable with insulting if necessary,    but the second anyone else does,    she’s quick to fight them off.     )        ❝    besides,     i REALLY don’t think we have to worry about him anymore.       things are finally in a good place.    ❞} 

_{❛     yeah  ,   especially when you live in a world where you have to worry about staying alive rather than if coach finstock is throwing out a surprise pop quiz like the rest of our mundane classmates.     ❜      spoken with only a glimmer of jealousy   ,   that other kids at their school got to have such normalcy where the only thing to worry about was their eccentric economics teacher grading them.   none of them ridden with battle scars or gruesome nightmares.   or in their case   ,   murderous beasts.    ❛     i swear   ,   if you and scott weren’t so vehmently against the idea of me slaughtering him   ,   and if he hadn’t brought you back from the dead  ,  theo’s head would be currently spinning on a stick right about now.     ❜     it didn’t matter that spencer lacked a set of claws   ,   or that said creature could easily have her killed.   her burning hatred towards him would be enough.}
