“I was speechless. Elodie Parris, defending me? Maybe in all this chaos, hell actually had frozen over.”

“He probably would've raised an eyebrow in that annoying/hot way he had, and made a dirty joke about Elodie possessing me.”

“‎"I solemnly swear to tell Mrs. Casnoff that Elodie's ghost looked at me. And if I do not tell her, I swear to buy Jenna a pony. A vampire pony.”

“Elodie made a gesture that was pretty easy to interpret.”

“Weird it showed it me that when I've had so many other awful things happen directly to me," I said beginning to tick them off my fingers. "Elodie getting killed, having to kill Alice, escaping a burning building with the help of a ghost..." And then because both my parents looked so deflated I added, "Oh, and this really heinous pageboy haircut in the sixth grade.”

“Sophia Mercer," Elodie intoned, "we have come to induct you into our sisterhood. Say the five words to begin the ritual."I blinked at her. "Are you freaking kidding me?"Anna gave an exasperated sigh. "No, the five words are 'I accept you offer, sisters.”

“Sophie's here, but Elodie's possessing her right now.""In that case, I'll wait out here," he said.”
