“But, they’re -.”
“Gay?”
“Yeah.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“They’re gay.”
“So what? Just because they’re gay doesn’t make them freaks. I’m not saying they’re not freaks because of course they are. But them being freaks has nothing to do with them being gay. They’re just two clingy and some what needy guys who have no sense of boundaries or personal space and happen to always to share way too much information. But that has nothing to do with them being gay. They’re just weird. I mean of course they’re freaks; I always have to tell them to stop chewing my hair. But them being gay doesn’t make them weird.”
“Oh my God, you’re an idiot.”
“Cute, Kit, really.”
“There was one thing that tipped me off to your magic is that you always hum songs stuck in my head.”
~ Christopher Thompson
“Kit’s always been my protector. When we went to school together until she moved away. She was always watching out for me. Our lockers were right next to each other and she’d help me with my books and stuff. She was always helping with my homework and giving me advice. And whenever someone bullied me she stood up for me. I didn’t always like it. Who wants a girl standing up for you? But it never really bothered me. Except for this one time when she broke this one guy’s nose. After a while people stopped picking on me. She had certain talents that made her so frightening to anyone who would threaten me. She could lift her legs so high and then kick very hard. Not to mention her famous right hook.”
~ Cole Thompson
“Sorry I can’t talk to you right now. I’m busy pretending that I don’t know you.”
“They’re late,” said Kit.
“You’re twenty minutes early,” said Steve.
“So?”
“Did you sleep here last night?”
“Maybe.”
“Go home!”
“I’m a walking disaster zone. My life is a black hole that destroys everything I that come into contact with.”
“Kit, behave!”
“Me, behave! That’s like asking the Pope not to be Catholic.”
“What is Kit’s problem? Why won’t she let me help her?” asked Bunny.
“Because it’s not easy to accept help if it’s never been offered before,” said Sarah.
“What would you do if I kissed you right now?” asked Leon.
“Why would you kiss me?” asked Kit.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“When my eyes are smiling it mean I’m up to something.”
“Give her the drug,” ordered the man.
“Yes boss,” said one of his goons as he grabbed a syringe, “Do you know what this is little girl? This is the world’s most powerful truth serum; you won’t to stop yourself from telling us everything that we need to know.” He held it out so she could see it and then he shoved it into her neck. She could feel it go to work instantly.
“That’s weird,” said Kit and she could already feel it working, “You know what else is weird? Marriage, that’s what weird. I just don’t see the point. I got married once. And I know what you’re thinking, I’m like twelve or something; how can I be married? Well it wasn’t exactly a marriage and it was a long time ago, like five-thousand years ago. And I’m not exaggerating here but I do exaggerate a lot. But seriously I got married in the year 3,000 BC. It was really weird because no one spoke English and I wasn’t entirely sure what was going on. But I died soon after that. I’ve died a bunch of times and I even remember most of them. Like this one time when I was a pirate. They were going to hang me for being a pirate but I don’t remember ever actually being a pirate. But then they hung me and then they didn’t because there was a really bid arrow that went ‘whoosh’ through the sky. It was really weird. You know what else is weird? Pirate ships. I was on a pirate ship once. That was of course right before I was not a pirate who was hung for being a pirate without being hung. But the ships, they have these really big holes in the bottom and you’d think with really big holes in the bottom it would sink but it doesn’t. That’s because these holes are for the cannons, the cannons come out and shoot at other ships, which aren’t always pirate ships. Then the other ship would blow up and sink. That’s really cool. But you know what isn’t cool? The letter ‘C’. I positively hate the letter ‘C’. And so would anyone if they came from my family. I mean a ‘C’ is not quite an ‘O’. But then an ‘O’ is less than a ‘Q’. And ‘Q’s are really pathetic because they’re so dependant on the letter ‘U’. You never see a ‘Q’ without a ‘U’. Why’s that? Who decided that? It doesn’t make a lot of sense when you think about it. ‘Q’s and ‘U’s don’t look compatible, the letters just sort of sound similar. Well at least ‘Q’ has some decent words like ‘quest’. I’ve been on a lot of quests. This one time I helped out Merlin. That was kind of cool, like the time I confused Socrates. I also like the word ‘if’. It’s so full of possibilities. ‘Possibility’ is a weird word but I like ‘if’ better than ‘possibility’ because it has too many ‘I’s. In fact I sort of hate it. I hate a lot of things. Like Arbor Day. Who celebrates trees? They’re here, good for them, so are magicals and we save people. But is there a day for us? No! I’ve died for people and do I ever get a thank you? No! I also Valentine’s Day and -.”
“For the love of all that is sane shut her up!”
Kit looked over the sides of the rope bridge. It was swinging back and forth over the canyon, just threatening to fall and kill her.
“That’s a really big drop,” said Kit and it shook, “Why am I doing this again?”
“Kit!” screamed Sarah from the other side as the demons dragged her away.
“Right.”
“There’s only so far you can push me before I start to push back.”
“I’m so going to get fired for this.”
“Kit’s vocabulary was scary. She was smart and even though she was only ten she spoke better than I did and I was eighteen. She uses words with terrifying effects. Yet is always seemed like she had trouble communicating. I later learned this was because she just couldn’t relate to people. This wasn’t because she thought she was better than everyone but because she knew she was different than everyone else.”
~ Michael Trent
“How many times, huh, mom?”
“Huh?”
“How many times did you see the signs mom? How many times did you hear me come in way past curfew? How many times did you see blood in the bathroom and bloody bandages on the floor? How many times did you see blood or weird things on my clothes? How many times did you see bruises and cuts all over me? How many times did you notice the broken bones and sprained ankles? How many times did you watch me limp down the stairs? How many times did you realize that I never came home at night? How many times did you catch sight of a weapon in bedroom or my backpack? How many times did you hear me mutter strange words under my breath or in my room where I thought you couldn’t hear me? How many times did you stay awake at night, listening to me cry myself to sleep? How many times did you see and not ask? How many times did you knowingly let me commit a crime? How many times did you let me loose my temper? How many times did you not help me when I needed you the most? How many times did you pretend not to see? How many times did you let us walk away angry? How many times, mom? Huh? How many times? You can’t blame it all on me.”
Nothing was working. Nathan had tried everything and still nothing. Jimmy stared at Kit through the eye he could still open. She was badly hurt, far worse than him. Nathan had been torturing them for days. They must have been down there for a week already. Still nothing and yet he was determined to break Kit. He spent all of his time hurting her. She might have been dead already as far as Jimmy could tell. She had stopped screaming hours ago and she hadn’t moved in a long time. With a snap of his fingers, Kit’s chains loosened and she fell to the ground. He kicked her in the gut. He punched and kicked her. And for the first time in a while Kit showed signs of life. She started laughing. It was a horrible laugh and he punched her harder but she only laughed harder. It was a terrifying laugh. When Nathan started yelling at her to stop she looked up and smiled at him.
“I love the way your brain doesn’t work.”
“Then a small smile graced her lips. It was that smile, the smile that meant: I have a plan and you’re not going to like it.”
~ Fred Mason
“I hate going to restaurants with Kit. She always freaks out the waiters.”
~ Richard Trent
“A stop sign is just a suggestion.”
Kit walked over to Leon.
“I’m supposed to ask you what you want for lunch.”
“You.”
“Yeah, they sent me over here.” Leon laughed.
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing.”
“Then what do you want for lunch?”
“You.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s go out for lunch.”
“I used to believe that I could do anything; that my magic would always protect me and it would make my dreams come true. I was such a fool. When I look back on the child I was I feel like my life was wasted.”
“I’m in love with you Kit, head over heels, crazy, want to spend the rest of my life with you, in love you,” said Leon and with he left her standing there.
“You’re the reason I believe in miracles.”
~ Kent Star
“Are you okay?” asked Kit as they got out of the car. Kiki was in shock.
“How in the hell did you get a license?”
“There was a time when I thought that anything was possible but I soon learned to the contrary. But you see, as I learned this lesson I was doing something impossible.”
“If Kit was a flower she’d be a rose,” said Kent.
“Or a Venus flytrap,” said Mark,
“Shut up, Mark.”
“What’s going on?” asked Kiki.
“Kit’s pissed,” said Bunny.
“What else is new?”
“And that would make you -?”
“Evil.”
“Huh?”
“And that would make me evil, you stupid and him dead.”
“Stop chewing my hair, Sam.”
“Not to sound like a cliché but I have a gun and I’m not afraid to use it,” said Kit.
“And I have gun and I don’t know how to use it,” said Bunny.
“Why are we friends?”
“Kit?” asked Bunny.
“What?” asked Kit angrily as she opened her eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“Seriously? You disturbed me for that? I was in the middle of an OBE.”
“I thought we agreed that you would stop using magical terms that I don’t know.”
“It means ‘out of body experience’. They’re not supposed to be interrupted.”
“Oh.”
“Before I knew karate I knew crazy and I did use it.”
“Is your hair on fire?”
“Sort of, it’s made of fire.”
“You’re a fool, an absolute moron, the biggest idiot on Earth, a crazy person” said Kit and he kissed her as hard as he could.
“I must be. Because I’ve fallen in love you,” said Leon, “What? You’re finally speechless?” She stared at him in shock as he walked away. He was proud of himself.
“Kit is the only person in the world who can punch you in the face then turn around and give you a hug.”
“You have to stop setting things on-.”
“Fire.”
“Yes!”
“No,”
“What?”
“Fire!” She turned around the tree was on fire.
“Damn.”
“This isn’t my fault, I hope.”
“People say that the best things come in small packages, no one ever said anything about strange packages.”
~ Michael Trent
“Stop it!”
“You’re so cute when you’re angry, you know that?”
“Stop that,” said Kit as she tried, unsuccessfully, not to smile.
“How dare you come into my house waving a gun!?”
“Not waving, pointing and I might add at you!”
“Here, I’ll explain this to you in words that four year olds and the President of the United States can understand.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Bad?”
“More specific.”
“Really bad.”
“Kit?”
“Really, really bad.” She promptly fell over.
“Join the fun, welcome to my hell.”
“Whoever’s talking needs to be shot then stabbed in the eye with a spoon.”
“Merry Christmas.”
“Have a happy go to hell.”
“I wish I’d seen that coming, oh wait, I did.”
“Don’t think, just do.”
“I’m so going to hell for this,” said Kit as she stopped the bomb, “Saving the enemy, I really got to stop doing that.”
“I could sleep in my dorm room if there wasn’t a major chance of me strangling my roommate in her sleep.”
“He’s hiding something.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know, he’s hiding it.”
“What should we do? Put up a sign that says: ‘Fighting demons maybe hazardous to your health, symptoms include: insanity, serious bodily harm, death and more death’?”
“You can do many things, but the one thing you could never do is disappoint me. You could never let me down.”
“I’d rather be a thief and alive than honest and dead.”
“You are going to insure me safety? Is that a money back if you’re not completely alive guarantee?”
“You’re an idiot everyday of the week; could you maybe take one day off?”
“Right now I’m just one gun away from actually having a gun.”
“Other than the fact that I’m completely screwed, this is going to be fun.”
“Kit can be easy to talk to when she’s not armed.”
~ Jimmy Davis
“Come on it’s easy.”
“This doesn’t look like a smart idea.”
“I said it was easy, I never said that it was smart.”
“Remember how I said that I come in peace, well bite me.”
“Just know that if I die I want you to know this one very important thing: I blame you,” said Kit.
“Thanks, Kit,” said Duke.
“Kit,” said a man.
“Jake,” said Kit.
“Tension,” said Marian and they both glared at her, “Wow.”
“I don’t think it’s that bad. What do you think?”
“I think you’re going to get arrested, again.”
“Why did you come to therapy today?”
“The judge said I had to.”
“You’re such a freak.”
“Oh like you can talk, that’s really the pot calling the kettle purple.”
“Seriously, it’s things like that.”
“So would say that being a demon hunter is like volunteer work.”
“Without the volunteer part. It’s a destiny thing, there’s no volunteer about it.”
“Do me a favor, close your mouth before you speak.”
“Well it’s not like you were in the car when it blew up.”
“KIT?”
“I don’t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.”
The bomb went off.
“Kit!” yelled Coop, “What’d you do?”
“You’re blaming me? I had nothing or little to do with this.”
“Little?”
“None of your business.”
“Why can’t I help you?” asked Bunny.
“Because.”
“Because what?”
“Because I said so,” said Kit and she walked away.
“You’re late, were you in an accident?”
“I’m always in an accident.”
“I guess I can be annoying sometimes.”
“Sometimes?”
“You’re saying there’s no chance of-.”
“Not if hell froze over, thawed and froze again.”
“Sugar is your best friend isn’t it?”
“YEAH.”
“Are you developing a mean streak?”
“Are you developing a brain?”
“You’re burning up this bridge.”
“No, I’m not just burning it; I’m blowing it up and stomping on the ashes.”
“Did you know that science has proven that an ameba, a single-celled organism without a brain can learn from experience? So what the hell are you?”
“Are you ready to get married? To wake up every morning to the same face until the sweet release of death?”
“Thanks, Duke, really.”
“You know what I love about you? You always know exactly the right thing to say and you always say the wrong thing.”
~ Roy Fallen
“Richie always said that me being a girl gave me other powers. He taught me how to throw the perfect hissy fit. His favorite trick was that if some guy was annoying me I could lie down on the ground and just scream. That always worked.”
“Hey, you idiots,” said Kit and she laughed, “You all looked.”
