"The shadows parted and a large head took shape, looming above her.Her mouth fell open when she spied the silver scales covering the wide head of the dragon. She took in the slitted obsidian eyes that were trained on her and tried to scream, but no sound came out.The head moved farther out of the darkness to reveal a row of dark silver tendrils at the base of his skull and disappearing into the shadows.

Caine felt some of his confidence drain away as she laid out the facts in gruesome detail and with complete conviction."Well, this should be fun, Diana said dryly. "I'm so glad we came back."
"I've attended seven schools in ten years,' I explain. 'So you can rest assured I know you. You're the girl who thinks being cruel is the same thing as being witty. You think being loud is the same thing as being right. And, most of all, you're the girl who is very, very pretty. And also very, very...common. trust me. There's at least one of you in every school.' I watch her features shift. 'Oh. Wait. Did you think you were unique?"

"Shark!" I yelled as my feet hit the wet sand. "There's a shark out there! Everyone get out of the water!"Man, you want to see humans move fast? Scream that on a crowded beach and watch what happens.
