When they returned to the hideout, Dutch and Gilbert were sitting in the office. “I’m glad you made it through,” said Marcel said to them. “Yeah, yeah, those krauts as suckers for cupcakes,” said Dutch “You gave them cupcakes?” asked Saban. “What would you suggest I give them, gypsy, a kiss?” Everyone laughed, even Saban. It helped ease the tension.
“I always have pastries in the truck for situations like that.”
“What happened?” asked Marcel.
“Gilbert was the first to see the roadblock. I am surprised he can see anything with his nose in those kraut ledgers all day long.”
Gilbert smiled.
“He told me to stop and warn you before the krauts saw us. Luckily, they were busy searching a car. When we pulled up, they asked the usual questions:

Well, the bastards’ faces lit up. They did a quick search of the truck, took the cupcakes, and we were on our way.”
Marcel addressed everyone in the hideout, “Does anyone know what was going on out there?”
“Yes, I do,” came a voice from the radio room. “An English Special Ops agent parachuted in. Someone must have seen him and informed the Germans, but our people got to him first. He is probably being interrogated at the fish market by now.” When Saban dragged himself into the farmhouse, he was emotionally and physically drained. It was early morning but the light was muted by a blanket of gray clouds. The rain/snow mix had changed to drizzle and his coat and hat were dirty and wet. He reached in back of a kitchen cabinet for a bottle of home-made vodka that he was given by a neighbor as payment for shoeing a horse. Moving the cork back and forth with his fingers the cork finally gave way. He poured some in a glass and downed it in one gulp. His face wrinkled as the burning sensation trickled down his throat. After another drink, he stuck the cork in the bottle and returned the bottle to the

Elisaveta propped herself up in bed and watched him.
“I am too tired to wash. I hope you do not mind,” he said as he sat on the edge of the bed and remove his shoes.
“No, not at all,” she whispered.
He removed his shirt and pants and draped them over the bed’s footboard. Then he got into bed and under the covers.
“I will tell what happened when I get up. Right now I am so tired—I just hope I can sleep.”
He barely got the words out before he drifted into a fitful sleep.
It was late afternoon when he rose and pushed himself out of bed. In the kitchen, he poured water from a pitcher into a bowl and washed while Elisaveta made him something to eat. As he sat down to eat, there was a knock at the front door. Elisaveta peeked out the window and saw Dutch. She let him in and asked if he wanted something to eat.
“No, I ate. Here is something for you.” And he put two cupcakes on the table.
“Oh, they are delightful looking. Thank you so much,” Elisaveta said.
“To what do we owe the honor of your presents?” Saban asked.
“Do not get all smart-aleckly with me, gypsy! I came to tell you something.”
“All right,
THE PAST :.. In days gone by, the four species managed to live in perfect harmony. Witches, werewolves and vampires lived in secret, blending in with the humans on a daily basis - and the humans remained completely in the dark about their existence. It was after thousands of years of living this way, whilst everything was completely normal, that a small group of vampires decided that they’d had enough. They spent months devising plans.
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
“My glorious hour, yeah right,” and with that said, he nearly fell on his face, grabbing the meter before hitting the ground. Holding on for support, he rocks back and forth. With a loud clap of thunder, the clouds open with a heavy pouring; a cold and clammy feeling captures the air, at the same time the rainwater bounced off his forehead down the cheek of the drunk [leaving a trail of a concealed intimate pain]. The lowly drunk pulled the cherry wine from his pocket and looked deeply into the container, temporarily satisfying his desire.
Claire sees him standing by the ticket booth and runs up to him feverishly. “Hey baby what are you doing here? I thought you needed to work on your project.” She said out of breath. I enveloped her back consequently we both walked into the movie room together. Once the movie had ended, individually, we began walking out of the theater. “Baby I’m hungry.” She said with a pout on her face. We began walking to her favorite suave Italian
"Apologies, please come in", Kroshone says as led Ciel and Sebastian right behind him, into the Guest Room. Vicent then smiles and stands up. "Welcome, Phantomhive, isn't it?", Vincent asks. Ciel nods. "Yes is it", he says as he sat down, by Alois. "Cielll!!", Alois smiles. Ciel sighs in annyonce. "Let's proceed with this meeting, please", Ciel says as he ignore Alois's
she always used to wish for a way to escape her life. She saw memories
After we ate and finished up, we headed over to the sweet shop that we saw earlier. We walked in and I got candy for the side but a huge chocolate covered banana with nuts on top. Everyone else got ice cream and a banana split. We headed back to the hotel and we all watched a movie about four girls that went to greece without their parents. Of course they were older but they weren't that much older so I said, “Why don't we go to Greece for Two days. I have family that lives there and Katelyn has enough money to take us”. “I would love to go. We could go to Athens and Chania because I heard that they are really pretty and we learned about them in history” she said excitedly. “I don't want to go that far without my parents” Cici and April said at the same time. “You will be fine because look how far you are from your parents right now” Maddy said. “Ok” they both
...d he was buying her a present. Pulling out a wrapped box, Gary handed it to Kandy. She quickly opened it to find a beautiful necklace. She put it on and hugged him. They had enough of shopping, and went to see a movie. Kandy suggested a horror movie, so she had an excuse to get close to Gary. Too bad they didn't get to see most of the movie, because they were making out. That was the best five dollars she ever spent. Holding hands, Gary walked Kandy and Ang to their car. She said good bye and drove off.
Emma also asked if she wanted a lemon on the rim. She said, “no.” Jude got out the chips ahoy cookies and ripped two out from the box and wrapped
Within twenty minutes of the bottle being opened, over half of it had been consumed. Peter later confided in me that he had at least four reasonable glasses of brandy. Currently he is lying in bed, awaiting sleep. I dread seeing him as ill as he seems, but he brought it upon himself.
His weak attempt almost had him choking on the water until his reflexes forced him to swallow against his will. Whether he realized or not that what he just drank was water, the relief it brought him had the man groaning and begging for more. Sadly, there wasn’t enough left. Olivia smiled: "You fight.
Danny laughed and helped the baboon out of the toy pile, wondering, “Where am I?”
...e greatest prank in our school’s history. And she stopped Mrs. DeCostia from stealing from Mrs. Redrik” Then he took my hand and led me down the hall, past all of my friends, to the stairs. I stopped. “What was that for?” “I was just giving credit where credit was due.” He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a rather large ring. “You knew the whole time?!?” “Yeah when we and Matt moved the desk it fell out and I picked it up, I was waiting to give it back until DeCostia got busted.” “Oh my god…” “Anyway, what are we doing tonight? Movies, ice-cream, maybe some pizza?” “We’re hanging out tonight?” “Yeah I have to hang out with my girlfriend to celebrate the undermining of our psycho home wrecking teacher.” “Your girlfriend?” “Yeah...” He said into my hair as he put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him “Who else would I hang with tonight?”
As Weston and I walk to school we talk all about all the things we want for Christmas and what were going to do over break. As I walk into the school my friends Everleigh and Anisa wave madley. “Meghan, hurry we all have something for you” Anisa yells “What is it” I ask “We all got together to give
The girls seemed to calm down once we got to Rene’s home. We sat together, talking about the excitement of the day; before we realized, it was 2:00 A.M. I ask the girls if they felt ready to go home. With sleepy smiles they said, “Yes”.
