"Oh... okay... of course." "There are people out there who want to see you fail, and they look at everything that has happened in the past few days and think, 'Oh well, look at how much publicity she has got.' And all I can say about that is that none of it is worth spending a second of your life feeling powerless.

"Nina is the most powerful person I know."

“Elena?” “I’m fine,” I mumbled, but he noticed. He shifted closer and gently placed my head on his shoulder. “Ethan…” “Don’t argue. You’re not feeling well.” I sighed, too tired to resist. “I failed,” I murmured after a moment. “I couldn’t even bring my powers back. I’m so useless. I don’t want anyone dying because of me.” He turned slightly and said softly, “Don’t say that. You’re the strongest person I know. The most powerful… and the most beautiful.”

I said suddenly and Reuben held my hand giving me a cup of water. "It's okay, we're safe...it's not your fault. It's okay to be human." "I wish I was stronger, like my mom, like you. Everything is out of my power, it's like their forces are too great for me to fight, I hate my own weakness. My own need for help." I sniffed feeling tears in my eyes as I

"Power rarely appears without a reason." That sentence stayed with me. Power. I had spent my whole life believing I had none. But lately, something inside me was changing. And judging by how Nightfall's people were watching me now, they were starting to sense it too.

His eyes danced in the sockets as he says; "What power do you possess?" It sounded queer because I am powerless, can't shape-shift and I am weak. Silence.
