Inside MadHatter's Hat: Quote

Inside MadHatter's Hat: Quote: "Knowing someone hates you is one thing, understanding why is another thing all together." -Leah Curran Touched #2 The Saint

A reader and Friend made this for me.

Check out what Sarah James made for her OTP on my book, Touched: LeahxGabe. The quote is from Kahlil Gibran's My Friend, a poem that describes perfectly how Leah and Gabe perceived each other:

"When thou ascendest to thy Heaven I descend to my Hell--even then thou callest to me across the unbridgeable gulf, 'My companion, my comrade,' and I call back to thee, 'My comrade, my companion'--for I would not have thee see my Hell. The flame would burn thy eyesight and the smoke would crowd thy nostrils. And I love my Hell too well to have thee visit it. I would be in Hell alone."

It's a telling quote about how devoted Leah and Gabe are to each other and that they would try to save the other even from each other.

To celebrate, I give snippet to 2nd book: The Saint.

Gabe dipped his hands in the sink, the water grew pink with blood. It was no longer strange now, doing that. He wondered whether he should worry. He'd think about that later. He had other more important things to worry about, like the person who was standing behind him. 

"That's why she'll never trust you, Real. You're loyal to the cause." He flicked water from his hands and wiped them dry with a towel. "While I'm loyal to--"

"Yourself?" Justin snapped, it grated for him to be judged by a Demon Touched. It grated even more that he was judged by Gabe.

Gabe let out a small laugh before turning and leaning agains the wall. His dark eyes calm and focused. "Yeah, that's right, but what you still don't understand, and you should, is that my life and Leah's are entwined so tightly there is no escape for either of us. She is The Sword and I am her Sheath, we are useless without each other. What is important to one will be important to the other. She knows that, she can trust that. She can trust me."

Gabe tilted his head and his lips curled in a small smile. "Can you say the same?"

A compilation of snippets

 First snippet:

Nakamura sensei said that there are three types of people that we will meet in our lifetime;
The one who stands before us, a reminder of who we want to be.
The one who stands beside us, a reminder of who we are.
The one who stands behind us, a reminder of who we were.
To me, Gabe was all three and in a way, he still was.
In short, as things were, I was so screwed.

Second snippet:

I played fast and loose with consciousness and in the short moments I’ve surfaced from the black peaceful place I was in, I saw Shay, sitting in a corner with his two blades in hand. Moonlight washed away all the color from his hair, his face, making him look like a creature made of marble and stone and other cold and heartless things.
His blue eyes were closed, his face slack and relaxed as if in sleep but it didn’t fool me. If anyone who was a threat came through that door, he wouldn’t bother with questions, he would just kill.
No remorse. No regret.
What does it say about me that I find that comforting?

Third snippet:

William was always quiet, always calm. In a way it’s what makes him so deadly, the way he calculate and weigh options logically and always with a cool head. He would’ve been the most dangerous of them all if not for his fierce dedication to Aspaya who treats him like a son. William, despite his black lustruos hair, his perfect chiseled looks, tended to pale into the background…and he preferred it that way.
He did everything he was ordered to do without fuss and did what needed to be done with even less fuss. It amused me,  how everybody would bicker and fight and duel and then have William loitering on the background doing…whatever. Picking flowers, throwing out trash. Sunning on the deck.
I found him very peaceful to be around. I considered the time where I cleaned, sharpened and oiled the numerous blades and swords and daggers with him a kind of therapy, even though we didn’t talk to each other.
Maybe it was because of that. I didn’t have to prove anything to him and he didn’t expect anything from me. He was just there, like a really comfortable lived in sofa.

Snippet

Mikail smiled and leaned back, his body posture relaxed and comfortable. "You know what makes us Demon Touched so effective, Leah?"

I knew he didn't really want an answer so I kept my mouth shut. I know. Surprise!

"It's our ability to sniff out people's desires." His black eyes glinted in the warm light. "Humans are creatures of temptations so they are fairly easy to tempt. Everyone have something that they want and we have a natural ability to see it. And when we do, to use it."

He sipped on his cup of cocoa and sighed in pleasure. "He wants you. Very badly. His desire for you is overwhelming that I am amazed that he can think straight. Gabe--"

My fingers fumbled on my cup and it clattered on its saucer, I didn't look at him--at Gabe who stood behind Mikael's seat; silent and intractable. 

"Gabe sees that, knows that, so you have to excuse his dislike for the Angel prince." He smiled. "One thing about Demon Touched that you should know. We don't like to share."

I could feel the weight of Gabe's eyes on me. I kept my eyes on my cup. "Was that what happened with my mother? You didn't want to share her?"

The amusement on his face grew claws. "Yes."
