D is for Dare
"Oi, Tess?"
"What now, Will?"
"I dare you to run up and kick Gabriel in the leg."
For a few moments, she simply stared incredulously. "I- no. No, I won't. Why would I do that? You're the one prone to life threatening idiocy, not me."
"…I double dare you."
"Hold my book."
And so her corruption begins…
I'm big on the Gabriel abuse, huh? Would you kick him? I would, but then I just like to maim things. :D
Review – what's the worst dare you've ever gotten (and gone through with)? Me and my buddies (All guys. Go figure ;P) had to take out the fake blood from last years Halloween, cover ourselves in it and run around the local shop screaming about the zombie apocalypse. Yeah, we're not allowed to go back, but it was funny as hell. XD
IN OTHER NEWS: I know what you're thinking – "Is she possessed? She NEVER updates this often :O" (Yes, including the emotocon). And you'd be right. This update was all a ploy! BWUAHAHAHAHAHA! I need to share this with you, minions.
I have a strong feeling about Gabriel in future books (and I've yet to figure out if this feeling is positive or negative at the moment).
Okay, so many of you have probably already seen this teaser:
"They're not hideous," said Tessa.
Will blinked at her. "What?"
"Gideon and Gabriel," said Tessa. "They're really quite good-looking, not hideous at all."
"I spoke," said Will, in sepulchral tones, "of the pitch-black inner depths of their souls."
Tessa snorted. "And what colour do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, Will Herondale?"
"Mauve," said Will.
Right? (And those of you who haven't are welcome ;)) And on its own this could be fine – just Tessa baiting will as she does. BUT THEN, I FOUND THIS ON TWITTER:
"Would it be possible for Tessa to start fighting/training like a Shadowhunter?" – Cassandra: Tessa will be being trained in book two — by Gabriel Lightwood.
At first I was like: O_o. And then I was like O.O
Can you imagine Will/Jem's FACE? XD
For a second I though she was just trollin' but then she posted this:
The door to the training room opened. Tessa and Sophie turned as Gabriel Lightwood strode into the room, followed by a boy she had not met. Where Gabriel was slender and darker-haired, the other boy was muscular, with thick, sandy-blond hair. They were both dressed in gear, with expensive-looking dark gloves studded with metal across the knuckles. Each wore silver bands around each wrist — knife sheaths, Tessa knew — and had the same elaborate, pale white pattern of runes woven into the sleeves of their gear.
It was clear not just from the similarity of their clothes but the shape of their faces and the pale, luminous green of their eyes that they were related, so Tessa was not in the least surprised when Gabriel said, in his abrupt manner: "Well, we're here as we said we would be. James, I assume you remember my brother, Gideon. Miss Gray, Miss Collins —"
"Pleased to make your acquaintance," Gideon muttered, meeting neither of their gazes with his. Bad moods seemed to run in the family, Tessa thought, remembering that Will had said that next to his brother, Gabriel seemed a sweetheart.
…THERE IS NO WORD IN THE DICTIONARY NOR GIF ON THE INTERWEBZ TO DESCRIBE WHAT I AM FEELING.
Et vous, mon amis? What are y'all thinking? And I think I'm gonna go open a forum dedicated to teasers and gushing over them now… GO CHECK IT OUT AND RANT WITH US!
This is prolly getting annoying, so no more rants in future updates. And the drabbles'l get better.
*Pinky promise*
*…Fingers crossed behind back*
