As Good As Dead Holly Jackson Novels & Stories

Axel’s trembling finger tapped the audio file from Marco. Aria’s voice, calm and full of despair, filled the silence. “My name is Aria Sterling. If you’re hearing this, it means I’m already dead.” Every word was a hot brand on his soul. “Six years ago, Axel Thorne did not die. The yacht explosion was a hoax, a plan he designed to make a secret deal with a rival family…” There was no anger in her voice. Just the dead calm of a still lake.

“Of course you were.” HOLLY MOLLY Kill me now!

Rachelle said with a wink, and then they were gone—three points of reckless, curious energy disappearing down a stone corridor. Which left the rest of us. Jonie lingered near the holographic map, eyes still locked on the glowing red pins. I didn’t have to ask which one she was looking at. Ashley had died just west of one. “I never wanted to be a killer,” she said softly. “I know.” She didn’t turn. “She was my friend.” “Still is, in your memory.” “I used to think that made it worse.” A new voice answered her—Liz-2. Quiet. Hesitant. “In my world, Jonie didn’t do what you did.”

I would have to train harder to build up my strength. Hades has managed to kill both of the rogues attacking him. He turns his attention to Marissa who is running and zigzagging through the trees while she tries to outrun the rogue attacking her. He leaps onto the rogue's back and then clamps his jaw down hard, tearing into the rogue’s neck and killing him instantly. Jackson sends his rogue flying into a tree, the tree swaying dangerously from the impact. The rogue yelps and stands up awkwardly, favouring his back leg. I get to my feet, drawing air into my lungs. The rogue senses defeat and turns in the opposite direction, making a run at me. Fuck. I barely have time to pull out the knife, b

Ashley warned. " Yes ma'am, I won't….." He said and they all busted into laughter. There was a moment of silence before Jason asked " What about Leo?" "That Ass hole is dead. He shot a police officer as well as you. The bullets he received were too many." They all sighed " He did look like a nice person. I couldn't have imagined. " Ashley stated and shook her head in disdain. " No wonder the phrase you don't judge a book by its cover is popular " Louisa added.

He continued, “you'll never have children nor a partner to love you. When I kill you tonight, they'll only find you after a few days, cause that's when your neighbour's will start smelling your corpse. But before that, you'll lie here in your own blood and urine, waiting to be the next highlight on the news.” “And you know what's the worst part?” Hunter added. “The worst part of all this is that you keep going on about how you're born again and changed your ways and waiting for Jesus to come but you haven't shed a single tear. How nice is that, huh? You're so sorry and regret your old days but can't shed a single tear. You're a natural Wendy Jackson. You deserve to die.” He got up and roughl

He doubles over, and I take the opportunity to land an elbow to the back of his neck making him drop to the floor. “Are you ready to die like your friend?” I ask. “Fuck you bitch. You can’t win against our army. Scàthach will triumph and you will all die.” “Ew, can we not do the villain monologue? It’s so annoying and cliché.” I say before I extend my claws and rip his heart out through his back. That was seriously badass and gross, all at the same time. Hey, he’s dead, his friend is dead, and Wyatt is dead. That’s all that matters.

All it took was a single sentence to stir her into this fury? He stepped closer, studying every subtle expression on her face in the dim night. As if he wanted to witness the pain of her accepting the truth, he deliberately said, "There's no need to be so surprised. What I'm saying is a fact. Otherwise, why would I let you stay here?" Ariel's fists trembled, but her gaze remained sharp and unforgiving. Samson didn't like seeing her like this, but he didn't mind. He leaned down toward her. "Ariel, Jayson's dead. He's not in this world anymore. You need to move on."

I started to sob because I honestly couldn’t stop it. “I’m so sorry. I know that it’s probably not the right words and isn’t enough. But I am.” I tried to speak through my tears. “Nigel wasn’t supposed to be there. I never wanted anyone to die for me.” I sniffled. At first, Holly was stiff in my arms, but I felt her melting as she hugged me back just as tightly, and I could hear her start to cry too. I don’t know Holly well, but everything I was told is that her picture is in the dictionary next to the phrase ‘badass.’ And here she was sobbing with me.
