The E-Book Chronicles: Fractured

Highlights:

(A.N. I am not including all of them, because a few of them are only highlighted for their notes)

• Next morning is misery and gray drizzle. Not helped by how I ache, everywhere, from head to toe. Page 146
• He's been re-Slated. Page 216
• He doesn't know who I am. Page 216
• I will be strong again. I can do anything. Page 225
• "Nico knows!" Page 245
• Without thought, I reach up, trail my fingers across the scar on his face with a sense of wonder. I've done this before. Page 247
• If Nico says I must do thism that I can do this, it must be so. Page 270
• But years ago, it was Katran who held me in the night when dreams made me cry in terror. Katran, who believes with all he is that what he is doing is the way to overcome the Lorders and make our world a better place. Page 274
• "Yes. Nico said my parents gave me to him. Thar they and I agreed to have this done to me. I want to know. I need to know the truth."    "I've got something for you," he says. "But only if you are sure. Do you want to remember, no matter what?"     "Yes. I'm sure." Page 278
• "Fight the good fight." Page 279
• - die the good death. Page 279
• Tell the truth. Do it! Don't make me kill you. Page 283
• I can't do it. I won't do it.  Page 288
• look after the people you care about, who are here, now. Page 290
• It is time I faced up to the trouble I've caused. Page 293.
• He is my terror. The black stuff of nightmares. Page 294
• "It's a her, and shut up and let me think."  Page 295
• "The next one won't be in a tree," a voice says. A voice that makes me tremble. Page 299
• And there is Nico, gun pointed at my head. Page 299
• "I'm felling rather angry," Nico says. Page 300
• No. I fight inside as much, as strong as I can. NO. I crawl to him, take his hand, wrap my arms around him. His body shudders, and red red red ... Page 304
• "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I'm saying over and over, and his eyes are mirrors of the shock in mine. Katran is invincible; we can't believe this. Then - a slight shake to his head, his eyes change, he tries to speak but coughs, and there is more blood, more seeping red. The words won't come, but his eyes speak. Love's eyes. "No, Katran, no. Don't go!" I say, shocked but knowing the truth of how he feels at the same time. How he has always felt, and the anger he hid his feeling behind. Page 304
• Seeing what scares you for what it is does not lesson the terror. It still has the power to break your heart, over and over again. Page 308
• Katran is - and I swallow - dead: Page 309
• "What does it all mean? What is it for?" Page 310
• "Traitor!" she screams. "Kyla, or Rain, or whoever you are, I'll get you. I'll hunt you down and gut you with my knife." She is dragged away, thrown in the back of a Lorder van. But not before I see the hate in her eyes. Page 311
• But I'm never forgetting anything, ever again. Page 313
• I cry for the little girl I was who I can't even remember apart from the fact that she just loved her dad. I cry for him and all he did to try to rescue her, no matter how she ended up there in the first place. I cry that I failed him, utterly: Never forget who you are, he said, and I did. I cry for Katranm whose flaws were obvious, but whose caring was not. When he could have run, gotten away like Nico, he came back for me. Trying to save me led to his death. Page 315
• And I cry for myself, who I am now. Where is my place in this world? Page 315
• Take me to your leader - a random thought I almost say out loud, and have to clamp down a hysterical giggle that works its way up my throat. Page 316
• He's lying. Page 318
• Untraceable. Page 322
• Not the Nico I know and hate. Page 324
• Dream girl, he called me. Has he been dreaming about me? Like I dream about hate past, and lost memories. Am I still there hiding in his subconscious? Page 330
• Somewhere inside is a glimmer, a feeling. It is warm and unfamiliar, and I hold on to it, hug it tight. Page 330
• It is hope Page 330

In reply to statement in italics...reply

• touches his hand to my cheek...They had to have dated or been in love at some point!!! I mean all the hand to cheek touches, Katran softening up Rain. They had to have been in love. I wonder what their ship name is... Katrain?
