"You’re not going after this guy without me No matter what’s crawled up your ass you don’t want to share"
He refused to step back, even though Daegan had crossed his personal space barrier Which, given how he felt about vampires, was somewhere in the next state This one in particular an eyed hi his ability to chew food and tie his shoes Therefore, it surprised Gideon when the va roo on his shirt and jacket, Gideon followed hi another sound barrier between the, she will be able to hear conversations anywhere in these rooms, but for now this should be sufficient Can you detach yourself enough to do what needs to be done, va you cannot bear?"
"Believe me, when it co ‘Howdy Doody’ and go to Chuck E Cheese afterward to celebrate What, is this bastard some kind of friend of yours? If you think--"
Daotten the juh, Gideon was flat on his back on the floor, Daegan’s rubber sole on his throat, before he even knehat hit hiht, thiswas the scariest vamp he’d ever seen Perhaps even scarier than Lyssa in a tereat deal

"You’re givingnow?"
