↳  “What did she say?” Elwood asked.

     Mary answered. “I think she was asking us to take care of her brother.”

     Dahra lifted her fingers from Bette’s neck. She stroked the girl’s face once, a lingering good-bye.

      “Is she…” Mary couldn’t finish the question.

     “Yes,” Dahra whispered.

gone series meme: [1/4] places → san francisco de sales island

↳     In other places palm trees swayed high above tumbled rocks. But there were no beaches on San Francisco De Sales Island. No convenient inlets. In the days of sheep ranching the shepherds had lowered the animals in wicker baskets. Sanjit had seen the tumbled remains of that apparatus, had considered trying to swing out over the water for the sheer fun of it, had decided it was crazy when he noticed that the support beams were eaten by ants and termites. 

         The island was almost impregnable, which was why his adopted parents had bought it. It was one place the paparazzi couldn’t reach. In the interior of the island was a short airstrip large enough to accommodate private jets. And at the compound was the helipad.

Gone Series meme ➝ 2/4 places ➝  The Plaza

Night came to Perdido Beach. 

The street lights turned on automatically, doing little to push back the darkness, doing a lot to cast deep shadows on frightened faces. 

Close to a hundred kids milled around the plaza. -- GONE

//

The bonfire in the plaza was much smaller now. They’d realised that it had to be if they were going to keep it burning. Even with Caine’s sullen help, ripping flammable materials out of buildings and carrying them them to the fire was not easy. So now the bonfire was more like a campfire. And the light of it barely cast a glow on the first circle of kids. Most sat in darkness, staring at the fire, unable to even see the person sitting next to them. -- FEAR

gone series meme: [3/5] heartbreaking scenes → lies; francis’ rebirthday

↳  Francis slipped off his watch and held it out to her. “It’s all I have to give you.”      “Francis, no.”      But she was holding air. Yelling at air.      The watch lay in the grass.      Francis was gone.

gone series meme: [2/5] heartbreaking scenes → plague; hunter’s death

↳  Sam didn’t answer. It was Dekka who spoke. “Do you still remember any prayers, Hunter?”      The insectlike creature was almost completely emerged from Hunter’s shoulder. Legs were becoming visible. It had wings folded against its body. It looked like a gigantic ant, or wasp, but silver and brass and covered with a sheen of slime.      It was emerging like a chicken breaking out of an egg. Being born. And as the creature was born, it fed on Hunter’s numbed body.      Jerky movements beneath Hunter’s shirt testified to more of the larvae emerging.      “Do you remember ‘now I lay me down to sleep’?” Dekka asked.      “Now I lay me down to sleep,” Hunter said. “I pray the Lord my soul to keep.”      Sam raised his hands, palms out.      “If I should die—”      Twin beams of light hit Hunter’s chest and face. His shirt caught fire. Flesh melted. He was dead before he could feel anything.
