  • My sister has the heart of an artist with a hatchet and an eye patch. And I, we both now know, have a heart that is undeniably, irreparably different.

  • Now our hearts link only when we’re hunting, when Scarlett looks at me with a sort of beautiful excitement that’s more powerful than her scars and then tears after a Fenris as though her life depends on its death. I follow, always, because it’s the only time when our hearts beat in perfect harmony, the only time when I’m certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we are one person broken in two.

  • The same heart, torn apart so that I could stay safe in our mother longer while she put her body in front of mine. Her body in front of mine so that I could stay safe longer instead of face the mouth of a monster. Always her body in front of mine, always her to be wounded, to be cut into pieces and hacked away at while I see with both eyes and can think of a life beyond hunting.

  • I am confident, I am capable, and I will not wait to be rescued by a woodsman or a hunter. I will escape.

  • “So, schatzi, who made the wiser choice? John, who refused to believe in the sunshine because it was strange and new, or Mary, who let her eyes get used to the light?”

  • She does it because she says I’ll lose my edge if we don’t. I do it because I think she’ll lose her mind if we don’t.

  • Matching memories swirl in their heads, memories of running through the grass and spinning in circles and holding each other in the garden, memories where they lose track of who is who and they begin to feel like a beautiful, golden link connects them. A single, shared heart.

  • “You didn’t tell me. You kept it a secret, because… because I…” I look down at my scars. “Because I’m an outcast. A freak because I hunt. Because I do what’s right. Because I… I fight. I don’t let people die, while you two are here, like this… taking dance classes and… and kissing and…” I’m losing control.
