Various quotes taken from films, tv shows, books etc. change pronounce as you see fit.

“Don’t you think that car has been parked there a bit to long?”

“I wish we could stay here.”

“You know we can’t stay here for long, we have to move.”

“They’re going to find us.”

“No cards, no phones, nothing that can be traced!”

“Now you are being a bit paranoid.”

“I’m not paranoid! They are watching us!”

“Is that my mugshot?”

“That’s your mugshot….. They really did’t do you any favours.”

“I made a call to my mother/father? It’s just one call?”

“Don’t tell me you called someone….?”

“Collect your stuff! Quick! We have to leave!”

“Someone noticed me! We have to go!”

“Run, just fucking run!”

Shh…. be quiet!”

“Stay low.”

“How long do we have to stay here?”

“We’ll stay here till we know everything is clear.”

“We don’t have a choise we are on the run!”

At the very least, his bravery had spared their life.

    “I’m really fine,”  he utters stubbornly as they dab at the blood covering his wrists and hands. His powers had kept him safe in the end, but he’s undoubtedly a mess;  swathed in a generous helping of viscera like the star actor of a slasher flick.  It’s far from the first time he’s been stained red, and he suspects it’ll be far from the last too.  “You don’t need to worry about me.”

     “Okay,” Sin snorted. They checked the transmitter on their wrist to be certain that there was no darkness around ready to infect unsuspecting innocent people. When their tech beeped, silver eyes turned back on the kid. “You always do that? Act like a god damn martyr? Believe me, I know the look.” They swayed their hand and pulled the drops of crimson from him, runes alight on their skin as they flicked the blood to the ground.

     “If you’re going to lie, do it better at least,” they walked passed him and knelt down before one of the creatures to trace fingers over the body of whatever this kid had just killed. It was aggressive, and Sin certainly could have handled it just fine, but giving away too much information too quickly had never worked well in their favor. 

“Did you call me?”

“Was that a scream?”

“Did you close that door?”

“It just turned on by itself!”

“I just saw that shadow move!”

“That was definitely not the wind.”

“It sounds like someone’s in here.”

“Is that… is that a face over there?”

“I heard breathing, right in my ear!”

“Ow! Something just scratched me!”

“I swear, I’m not joking, I saw it move!”

“Does it smell like perfume/cologne to you?”

“It’s not faulty wiring, something turned it off!”

“I didn’t slam the door. I thought that was you.”

“It feels creepy in here. Can we leave, please?”

“The lights are flickering… that’s not a good sign.”

“I could’ve sworn I heard someone talking in here.”

“There’s something standing at the foot of my bed…”

“There’s no one in here. You’re just imagining things.“

“But, there’s no one else here… who’s walking upstairs?”

“Listen, you might not believe me, but I know what I saw.”

“Wait, I thought you came home earlier. I heard your voice.”

“Haha, spooky message on the mirror, very funny. You wrote it, right?”
