"One of the few downsides to being awakened is that we no longer require sleep; therefore we also no longer dream. It's a shame, because if I could dream, I know I'd dream about you."
- Dimitri Belikov (Spirit Bound)
I had to be pretty distracted to not notice her, and if ever there was a distraction, it was someone wanting to kill me."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Lissa: "Alberta thinks there's a good chance we can stay together--that you'll still be my guardian."
Rose: "I think Alberta was saying that to keep me in school. I think Alberta knows the only way they'd let me protect আপনি is if I was the last guardian on earth. And even then, my odds would still be pretty slim."
- Lissa Dragomir and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "Oh, Liss . . . I don't know. I don't want any, um, unfair advantage."
Lissa: "That's not the problem, and আপনি know it. This one's fine, I swear."
...
Making charms with spirit was something Lissa had only recently begun to experiment with--and she wasn't very good at it. Her best spirit ability was healing, so she kept trying to make healing charms. The last one had been a bracelet that singed my arm.
...
I gave her a faint smile, moved দ্বারা her concern, and accepted the ring. It didn't scald my hand, which I took as a promising sign.
- Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir (Spirit Bound)
Stan: "People were even making bets about whether you'd show."
Rose: "Really? What kind of odds are there on that? Because I can still change my mind and put down my own bet. Make a little pocket money."
- Stan Alto & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
“”Don’t worry, comrade. I can do this blindfolded. Hell, maybe I actually will. Do আপনি have anything I can use? If you’re nice to me, I’ll even let আপনি tie it on.” … I could perfectly picture the exasperated shake of his head that would earn me. “Rose, I swear, sometimes it feels like everyday with আপনি is my own personal trial.””
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
“He (Abe) had to be melting in this heat, but I figured it would take আরো than a little sweat for him to tame down his flashy fashion sense.”
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Janine: “He’s (Abe) running some big wager on whether you’d show. He put his money on you, if that makes আপনি feel any better”
Rose: “Of course. Of course he’d be the bookie behind the pool.”
Janine Hathaway & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"He'd (Adrian) been crazy about me (and often just crazy) ever since we first met."
- Rose Hathaway (Sprit Bound)
Rose: "What are they talking about?"
Janine: "I think that's the least of your problems right now. Worry less about them and আরো about that field."
Rose: "Do আপনি think they're talking about me?"
Janine: "Rose!"
- Rose Hathaway and Janine Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWO ~+*+~
Rose: "That was it?"
Janine: "That was it? Rose, আপনি were out there for almost an hour. আপনি blew through that test with flying colors--probably one of the best trials this school's ever seen."
Rose: "Really? It just seemed . . . It was a haze, that's all."
Janine: "You were amazing. I'm so, so proud of you."
Rose: "Now what happens?"
Janine: "Now আপনি become a guardian."
- Rose Hathaway and Janine Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
“It figured. Undead creatures didn’t surprise me, but one flippant royal moroi could.”
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
“You want diamonds? I’ll give আপনি diamonds. I’ll ঝরনা আপনি in them. Hell, I’ll get আপনি a গাউন, gown made out of them. But it’s going to be skimpy.”
- Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
"He's a badass in his way too. I mean, any other guy who wore scarves like that? He'd be laughed out of this school. Not Abe. He'd beat someone almost as badly as আপনি would."
- Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
Adrian: “Well… Abe ব্যক্ত he liked me. But he also made it clear what he’d do to me if I ever hurt আপনি অথবা did anything bad. In fact, he described what he’d do in very graphic detail. Then just like that, he switched to some random, happy topic. I like the guy, but he’s scary.”
Rose: “He’s out of line! He has no right to threaten my boyfriends. I’m eighteen. An adult. I don’t need his help. I can threaten my boyfriends myself.”
- Adrian Ivashkov & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "Oh my God. আপনি guys are going to make me rip my hair out."
Christian: "It'd be a waste of nice hair,"
- Rose Hathaway and Christian Ozera (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "Is no woman নিরাপদ around here?"
Abe: "What are আপনি talking about?"
Rose: "You're flirting with every woman in this room!"
Abe: "Well, there are so many lovely women here."
- Rose Hathaway and Abe Mazur (Spirit Bound)
Abe: “What, that? That was nothing. Just a father looking out for his daughter.”
Rose: “Most fathers don’t threaten to disembowel their daughters’ boyfriends.”
Abe: “That’s not true. And anyway, that’s not what I actually said. It was much worse.”
- Abe Mazur & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Abe: "You're superior to the others. Making আপনি do easy things wouldn't have been fair."
Rose: "So they had me do that crazy bridge stunt instead? And if they were surprised I cut it, then what the hell else did they expect me to do? How else was I supposed to survive that?"
Abe: "Hmm. I honestly don't think they knew."
Rose: "Oh, for God's sake. This is unbelievable."
- Abe Mazur and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"He (Abe) must have underestimated my potential for insanity"
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Well, don't let me stop you. Go lure আরো women into your web."
- Rose Hathaway to Abe Mazur (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER THREE ~+*+~
Lissa: “You think Mia knows how to break into a prison?
Rose: “Mia’s good, but I don’t think she’s that good. She can probably help us get intel, though.”
Lissa: “I can’t believe আপনি just used the word intel. This really is turning into a spy movie.”
- Lissa Dragomir & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Mia: "And Rose wants something now."
Rose; "Hey, we're just happy to see you."
Mia: "I believe you. But I also believe you've got an ulterior motive."
Lissa: "What makes আপনি say that? Can আপনি read Rose that well অথবা do আপনি just always assume she's got an ulterior motive?"
Mia: "Both."
- Mia Rinaldi, Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir (Spirit Bound)
“I continually blindsided her (Lissa). She had no clue what was coming half of the time, but honestly, if we were planning on springing a renowned criminal out of prison, then breaking into a security office shouldn’t have been that big of a shock.”
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Lissa: “They spend time together, practice some physical moves, one thing leads to another-”
Rose: “That’s ridiculous. That kind of stuff isn’t romantic at all.” Another lie, seeing as that was exactly how my relationship with Dimitri had begun. Again, best not to mention that.
- Lissa Dragomir & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Compared to her (Lissa) romantic situation, my relationship with a semi-spoiled royal প্লেবয় from a disapproving family seemed downright optimistic."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"With my hair in a low ponytail that did a decent job of hiding the healing tattoo, I almost looked like a respectable girlfriend--which only went to প্রদর্শনী how deceptive appearances were,seeing as I was part of a crazy scheme to bring my last boyfriend back from the dead."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: “You approve?”
Adrian: “Unfortunately yes. I was hoping you’d প্রদর্শনী up in something a lot sluttier. Something that would scandalize my parents.”
Rose: “Sometimes it’s like আপনি don’t even care about me as a person. It’s like you’re just using me for shock value.”
Adrian: “It’s both, little dhampire. I care about you, and I’m using আপনি for shock value.”
Adrian Ivashkov & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Nathan: "She doesn't matter."
Rose - "I bit my lip on that, repressing the urge to see if I could throw my china plate Frisbee style and hit him in the head. I decided against it. Not only would it ruin dinner, but the plate probably wouldn't get the lift I needed."
- Nathan Ivashkov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Adrian: “I don’t know. This college would probably have the same problem the last one did.”
Rose: “What’s that?”
Adrian: “Homework.”
- Adrian Ivashkov & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"I don't really need a job অথবা extra money. After Rose and I get married, the kids and I'll just live off of her guardian paycheck."
- Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
Tatiana: “Oh, be silent, Nathan. No one wants to hear it.”
Rose - I almost choked. Being in the same room with the কুইন was horrid, but it was almost worth it to see her verbally bitch-slap Lord Ivashkov.
- Tatiana Ivashkov & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER FOUR ~+*+~
Adrian: "So you're going off with Lissa?"
Rose: "Yup, sorry. আপনি know--girl stuff." And দ্বারা girl stuff, I meant breaking and entering.
- Adrian Ivashkov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "A spoon?"
Lissa: "Hey, it's not easy to keep getting a hold of silver. I have to take what I can get."
Rose: "Well, it'd make for happy ডিনার parties."
Lissa: "Speaking of which . . . how was your ডিনার party? ... I don't suppose Her Royal Majesty showed up?"
Rose: "She did, and . . . it wasn't awful."
Lissa: "What? Did আপনি say 'wasn't'?"
Rose: "I know, I know. It was so crazy. It was this really quick visit to see Adrian, and she acted like me being there was no big deal. Of course, who knows what would have happened if she stayed? Maybe she would have turned into her old self. I would have needed a whole set of magic silverware then--to stop me from pulling a ছুরি on her."
- Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir (Spirit Bound)
"What if Ms. Karp--if Sonya--could become Moroi again? What if আপনি could be together again?" It'd also mean she'd be crazy again, but that was a technicality for later.
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Mia: "I sure do wish I knew what আপনি guys were doing."
Rose: "No. I'm not sure that আপনি do."
Mia Rinaldi and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER FIVE ~+*+~
Rose: "Have they finally let আপনি have a guardian?"
Tasha: "I think they're hoping it'll shut me up about Moroi fighting with dhampirs. Kind of a bribe."
Rose: "One আপনি won't fall for, I'm sure."
Tasha: "Nope. If anything, it'll just give me someone to practice with."
- Rose Hathaway and Tasha Ozera (Spirit Bound)
Tasha: "More champagne?"
Adrian: "Lady Ozera, আপনি and I are two minds with a single thought."
- Tasha Ozera and Adrian Ivhashkov (Spirit Bound)
“This is going to sound really weird … well, maybe not compared to my normal weirdness.”
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Lissa: “How long until আপনি think we stop? অথবা die from carbon monoxide poisoning?”
Rose: “We havn’t even left the Court yet.”
She sighed
- Lissa Dragomir & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER SIX ~+*+~
Rose: “You know what we need?”
Lissa: “A new plane?”
Eddie: “A miracle?”
- Rose Hathaway, Lissa Dragomir & Eddie Castile (Spirit Bound)
“We came to a stop before a high, barbwire fence with an enormous PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ALLOWED sign on it. The lettering was red, apparently to emphasize how serious they were. Personally, I would have added a skull and crossbones to really drive the message home.”
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Victor: “Oh my. This might be the best meal I’ve ever had.”
Rose: “Put your teeth anywhere near me and it’ll be your last meal.”
- Victor Dashkov & Rose Hathway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER SEVEN ~+*+~
Victor: “Oh? Are আপনি using compulsion nowadays too, Rose?”
Rose: “I don’t need it. I can render আপনি unconscious as easily as that guy and drag আপনি out. Makes no difference to me.”
- Victor Dashkov & Rose Hathway (Spirit Bound)
Victor: "How charming. Out of all the people who would attempt to rescue me, I never would have expected আপনি two . . . and yet, in retrospect, you're probably the most capable."
Rose: "We don't need your running commentary, Hannibal."
- Victor Dashkov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Victor: "Even if he erases it, there are those who might be able to recover it from the hard drive.
Rose: "It's a chance we'll have to take. Reprogramming অথবা whatever isn't really in my skill set."
Victor: "Perhaps, but destruction certainly is."
It took me a moment to get what he meant, but then it clicked. With a sigh, I grabbed the আগুন extinguisher from the দেওয়াল and beat the computer to a pulp until it was nothing আরো than a pile of plastic and metal fragments.
- Victor Dahskov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: “As hard as it is to believe, we didn’t do all that just because we missed your pleasant company.”
Victor: “That is hard to believe.”
- Victor Dashkov & Rose Hathway (Spirit Bound)
Victor: "How do I know আপনি won't get what আপনি want from me and then turn me back in anyway? I have no reason to trust you."
Rose: "You're right. I sure as hell wouldn't trust me. But if things work out, there's a chance we might let আপনি go afterward." No, there really wasn't.
- Victor Dashkov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER EIGHT ~+*+~
"We passed through the casino's edge to get to the front desk, where the attendant didn't even blink at three teenagers and an old man getting a room together. I had to imagine that around her, they saw it all."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Victor: "It's an early dinner. Four Thirty. And the sun won't go down until almost eight."
Rose: "Four Thirty? Good God. Arew we getting the senior citizen special?"
- Victor Dashkov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Adrian: "Did আপনি know that Victor Dashkov is sitting on your bed?"
Rose: "Yeah. It was kind of a shock to us too."
- Adrian Ivashkov & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Adrian: "Oh lord. Rose, please tell me আপনি guys aren't the ones who busted him out? They're all looking for two human girls and a dhampir guy. The descriptions don't match at all... But it was you, wasn't it? Somehow, আপনি broke into a maximum-sicurity prison. With Eddie."
Rose: "Must not have been all that secure."
- Adrian Ivashkov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Dreams, dreams. I walk them; I live them. I delude myself with them. It's a wonder I can spot reality anymore."
- Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER NINE ~+*+~
"Robert's gaze slipped away for a moment. I had a feeling this happened a lot, that he didn't spend much time in reality."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"The shadow-kissed don't have the gift of life. Only the spirit-blessed. The প্রশ্ন is: Who's capable of doing it? Gentle Girl অথবা Drunken Sod?" His eyes flickered between Lissa and Adrian. "My wager would be on Gentle Girl."
- Robert Doru (Spirit Bound)
"That which is dead doesn't always stay dead..."
- Robert Doru (Spirit Bound)
Robert: "Killing অথবা saving a Strigoi sends the soul back to a normal state. There is no bond."
Lissa: "Then there's no danger."
Rose: "Aside from a Strigoi killing you."
- Robert Doru, Lissa Dragomir and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TEN ~+*+~
"He (Dimirti) even had a leather duster on. It had to be a new one, seeing as his পূর্ববর্তি কোট had gotten pretty torn up in our last fight on the bridge. Where did he keep getting them?"
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Sorry. My eternity doesn't involve being part of the undead mafia."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Because you're my friend. I stayed with আপনি through all of this ... breaking out Victor, listening to his crazy brother ... because I knew আপনি had a real reason for getting Victor out-and that আপনি were going to return him. Does it sound crazy? Yeah, but that's normal for you."
- Eddie Castile to Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER ELEVEN ~+*+~
Unknown Moroi: "You got yourself a good one. Young, but that's the best way. Most of these are used and washed-up."
Rose: "Don't youdare talk about them like that, অথবা I'll smash that wineglass in your face."
Unknown Moroi: "Feisty."
Adrian: "You have no idea."
- Rose Hathaway, Adrian Ivashkov and an unknown Moroi (Spirit Bound)
"Adrian slipped an arm around me, which I suspected was a silent message to let him do the talking. Whether that was because he believed that was "proper" blood whore behavior অথবা because he was worried I'd মুষ্ট্যাঘাত the guy, I couldn't say."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Unknown Moroi: "You should dress her (Rose) better, আপনি know."
Adrian: "I'm not interested in putting clothes on her."
- Adrian Ivashkov and an unknown Moroi (Spirit Bound)
Adrian: "We've got আরো important things to worry about."
Rose: "Like covering up a crime and getting out of this city without being attacked দ্বারা Strigoi?"
Adrian: "No. Like me winning money."
Rose: "Are আপনি crazy?" Asking Adrian that was never a good idea. "We just escaped a bunch of bloodthirsty monsters, and all আপনি can think about is gambling?"
Adrian: "The fact that we're alive means we should live,"
- Adrian Ivashkov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWELVE ~+*+~
"I froze. A ডেস্ক job. Hans was threatening me with a ডেস্ক job."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Throughout my training we always had a mantra; They come first. If I had really and truly screwed up my future, I'd have a new mantra; A come first. Then B, C, D ..."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"I guessed it was better for people to think Adrian and I were running off than for them to accuse me of aiding and abetting a fugitive."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Christian's pale blue eyes were staring at us, wide and shocked. Like most of my friends, he rolled with crazy ideas, but this was pushing the crazy line."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER THIRTEEN ~+*+~
"If there was a way to save all Strigoi, that would change our world. I mean, not that setting them on আগুন isn't cool after they've gone on killing sprees."
- Christian Ozera (Spirit Bound)
"Lissa was going to attempt to learn to stake a Strigoi--behind my back--and she was going to get Christian to help her. Those two had been snarling at each other since the breakup. I should have felt flattered that sneaking around me was bringing them together, but I wasn't."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"That's ridiculous." Especially the part about Christian being manly.
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "I really am sorry. For everything . . . for lying about where I was and what I was doing. It was wrong. And I don't understand . . . well, I don't get why you're being so nice to me."
Adrian: "Should I be mean? Is that the kind of thing you're into?"
- Rose Hathaway and Adrian Ivashkov (Sprit Bound)
Adrian: "Rose, nothing in this world could make me hate you."
Rose: "Not even trying to bring my ex-boyfriend back from the dead?"
- Adrian Ivashkov & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"I know. আপনি did what আপনি did out of love. I can't be mad at আপনি over that. It was stupid, but that's how প্রণয় is."
- Adiran Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "I hate it when you're the sane one. That's my job."
Adrian: "Rose, I can think of many words to describe you, sexy and hot being at the শীর্ষ of the list. আপনি know what's not on the list? Sane."
Rose: "Okay, well, then my job is to be the less crazy one."
Adrian: "That I can accept."
- Rose Hathaway and Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
"The guardians can't punish me forever."
Adrian looked skeptical.
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER FOURTEEN ~+*+~
Hans: "Hathaway, আপনি and I have some very different definitions of 'punishment.'"
Rose: He had a point. In my mind, punishment involved easy things like lashings and starvation. Not filing.
- Hans Croft & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "Can I take it to go?"
Hans: "If আপনি can eat it before we get back."
His voice was skeptical, seeing as the খিলান was pretty close. Clearly, he was underestimating my ability to consume food.
- Rose Hathaway & Hans Croft (Spirit Bound)
"Come on! Isn't it lunchtime? আপনি have to feed me. That's just beyond cruel. At least throw me some crumbs."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER FIFTEEN ~+*+~
Rose: ". . . I have to kill him."
Adrian: "Good, I'm glad."
Rose: "God. Are আপনি that eager to get rid of any competition?"
Adrian: "No. I just know that as long as he's still alive--or, well, kind of alive--then you're in danger. And I can't stand that. I can't stand knowing that your life is in the balance. And it is, Rose. You'll never be নিরাপদ until he's gone. I want আপনি safe. I need আপনি to be safe. I can't . . . I can't have anything happen to you."
-Rose Hathaway and Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
"Hathaway! Good God, do I need to hose আপনি down?"
- Hans Croft (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER SIXTEEN ~+*+~
Dimitri: "You're beautiful in battle. Like an avenging অ্যাঞ্জেল come to deliver the justice of heaven."
Rose: "Funny. That is kind of why I'm here."
Dimitri: "Angels fall, Rose."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER SEVENTEEN ~+*+~
Christian: "How do আপনি feel?"
Lissa: "Tired. Worn out. Like . . . I don't know. Like I've been thrown around in a hurricane. অথবা run over দ্বারা a car. Pick something horrible, and that's what I feel like."
- Christian Ozera and Lissa Dragomir (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ~+*+~
Dimitri: "You saved me."
Lissa: "I only did the final piece. The rest . . . well, Rose did, um, a lot."
Rose - Say, like, organizing a prison break and releasing fugitives.
Dimitri Belikov, Lissa Dragomir, and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"... standing and yelling in the guardians' office wouldn't really help me get to Dimitri. Well, I supposed there was the off chance I might annoy them so much that they'd throw me in jail too. Then Dimitri and I would be পরবর্তি to each other. I promptly dismissed that plan, fearing the only thing it would land me with was আরো filing."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"I didn't even entirely know what I was crying for. The trauma and blood of the last day. My own broken heart. Dimitri's sorrow. The cruel circumstances that had ruined our lives. Really, there were a lot of choices."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER NINETEEN ~+*+~
Rose: "Some days I think you're in আরো danger from yourself than anyone else. আপনি smell like cigarettes, আপনি know."
Adrian: "Hey, I have never, ever ব্যক্ত I was perfect. And you're wrong. You're probably the most dangerous thing in my life."
- Rose Hathaway and Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
"She tossed her torch into the আগুন pit, and it lit up like the Fourth of July. Someone must have doused that wood with either gasoline অথবা Russian vodka. Maybe both."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"This is a lame party. I couldn't tell if we were supposed to be having a funeral অথবা summoning the devil. It was kind of a half-assed attempt at both."
- Christian Ozera (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWENTY ~+*+~
Daniella looked scandalized. "Did আপনি just say Jailbait?"
- Daniella Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
"Yeah, I was at the মাস্ককুরেড of the Damned."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Dimitri: "They weren't supposed to let আপনি in."
Rose: "Yeah. Well, I kind of found a work-around."
Dimitri: "Of course আপনি did."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"Lissa had approached it with kindness and compassion. She'd gotten through his (Dimitri) defenses, though a lot of that was because he regarded her as his savior. I could try a similar tactic. I could be gentle and supportive and full of love--all of which were true. I loved him. I wanted to help him so badly. Yet I wasn't sure that particular method would work for me. Rose Hathaway was not always known for the soft approach."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Dimitri: "Your optimism . . . your belief that আপনি can make anything happen. Oh, Rose. It's one of the amazing things about you. It's also one of the most infuriating things about you."
Rose: "I believed that আপনি could come back from being a Strigoi. Maybe my belief in the impossible isn't so crazy after all."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"You don't understand what it's like coming through what I did--coming back from being a Strigoi. It's changed everything. It's not just that what I did to আপনি is unforgivable. All my feelings . . . my emotions for আপনি . . . they changed. I don't feel the way I used to. I might be a dhampir again, but after what I went through . . . well, it's scarred me. It altered my soul. I can't প্রণয় anyone now. I can't--I don't--love you. There's nothing আরো between আপনি and me."
- Dimitri Belikov (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO ~+*+~
Rhonda: "I'd say আপনি have an enemy."
Rose: "Yeah, I think I can guess who. I just called her a sanctimonious bitch."
- Rhonda and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose - It was the best-looking one in the bunch, the Six of Swords. It had a bunch of people in a boat, rowing off over moonlit water.
Rhonda: "A journey,"
Rose: "I was just on a journey. A few of them. Man, this isn't, like, some kind of a spiritual journey is it?"
Rose Hathaway and Rhonda (Spirit Bound)
Rhonda: "This is hidden from me."
Rose: "The Page of Cups. Seems pretty obvious. It's a page with, um, cups."
- Rhonda and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE ~+*+~
"Hans truly thought Dimitri was aa dhampir again. I would প্রণয় him forever for that, no matter how much filing he made me do."
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR ~+*+~
"I've প্রদত্ত up on you. প্রণয় fades. Mine has."
- Dimitri Belikov (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "Evening. Not Morning."
Sydney: "We can argue your messed-up unholy schedule some other time."
- Rose Hathaway and Sydney Sage (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "You made a deal with him (Abe)? What did আপনি give him in return? Your soul?" Making a joke like that to someone as religious as her wasn't very appropriate. Of course, I think she thought Moroi and dhampirs ate souls, so maybe my মতামত wasn't to out there.
Sydney: "That's the thing. It was kind of an 'I'll let আপনি know when I need a favor in the futur' arrangement."
Rose: "Sucker."
- Rose Hathaway and Sydney Sage (Spirit Bound)
Sydney: "I need to ask আপনি something. And I swear I won't tell on আপনি ... I just need to know the truth so that we don't waste our time on something."
Rose: "Okay ..." Please don't ask me about Victor, I prayed.
Sydney: "Have আপনি broken into any place lately?"
Rose - Damn
- Sydney Sage and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Rose: "Wait. আপনি guys get robbed, and I'm the one আপনি suspect? I thought I was off your তালিকা of evil creatures?"
Sydney: " No dhampir is off my তালিকা of evil creatures. And believe me, if anyone could break inot our records, আপনি could. It's not easy. Practically impossible."
Rose: "Um, thank you?"
- Rose Hathaway and Sydney Sage (Spirit Bound)
Sydney: "the guy with আপনি ... the tall Moroi with dark hair ... is that your boyfriend?"
Rose: "Er, yeah."
Sydney: "He's cute."
Rose: "For an evil creature of the night?"
- Sydney Sage and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
Dimitri: "I don't have to forgive myself even if God does. And I'm not sure He would."
Rose: "That priest just ব্যক্ত God would. He ব্যক্ত God forgives everything. Are আপনি calling the priest a liar? That's pretty sacrilegious."
- Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE ~+*+~
"If only it were that easy. আপনি forget: I have an addictive personality. I'm addicted to you. Somehow I think আপনি could do all sorts of bad things to me, and I'd still come back to you."
- Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
Adrian: "What are আপনি rose hathaway, are আপনি real? You're a dream within a dream. I'm afraid touching আপনি makes me wake up, you'll disappear."
Rose: "Touch me and find it out!"
- Adrian Ivashkov & Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"He was almost naked too, but I hadn't quite gotten to his boxers yet. (They were silk because, honestly what else would Adrian wear?)"
- Rose Hathaway (Spirit Bound)
"That was the best not-sex ever."
- Adrian Ivashkov (Spirit Bound)
~+*+~ CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX ~+*+~
"I'd been watching the drama between the two men like a টেনিস match, and now the ball had hit me in the head."
- Rose Hathaway (Sprit bound)
Christian: "In spite of everything, even with Avery--"
Lissa: "Christian, I'm so sorry for that--"
Christian: "You don't have to--"
Lissa: "I do--"

This is all really kind of an insult to my intelligence."

Abe: "They don't even send royal traitors to prison, Rose. Everyone knows that."

Abe: "No. They execute traitors."
