“The old Lena is dead,”

“I'm sorry,Lena”

“Sarah: "Not bad. You look almost human."Lena: "Thanks."Sarah: "I said almost."Lena: "Well, then, almost thanks.”

“It's the rule of the wilds. You must be bigger, and stronger, and tougher. A coldness radiates through me, a solid wall that is growing, piece by piece, in my chest. He doesn't love me.He never loved me.It was all a lie."The old Lena is dead." I say, and then push past him. Each step is more difficult than the last; the heaviness fills me and turns my limbs to stone.You must hurt or be hurt.”

“Welcome to the resistance, Lena,' he whispers to me. 'I'll try to make this quick.”

“I don't love you, Lena. Do you hear me? I never love you.”

“Because if it weren’t for me, Lena and Alex would never have been caught at all.I told on them.I was jealous.”
