“Thank you for the invitation, but I’m not going. Now quit poking me with your pencil!”
Oops. She hadn’t meant for that last bit to come out so loud.
Next: invitation
“I will extend and open invitation to my lair. You should come if you want to talk.”
Next word: extend
[name_f]Lia[/name_f] extended her leg, looking at the bulky bracelet-thing that encompassed her ankle.
“That little gizmo helps us know exactly where you are, at all times,” the officer explained, much to her annoyance.
Next: annoyance/annoy
Without a word, I turned around, leaving the room. I was letting [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] get under my skin—which annoyed me. I was letting her words bore into me, controlling me. But most of all, I just felt so angry at her, that she had so much more than me.
That thought in itself stopped me. No, I scolded myself. You’re so much better than [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. She’s a brat who can go die in a hole.
next: scold
[name_f]Katie[/name_f], who had not left her father’s side since [name_f]Emily[/name_f] left, was so happy that she screamed. Her father didn’t even scold her.
Next word: scream
The crew stood in stunned silence for just a moment, before the beast helped itself to a generous piece of the bowsprit, spitting out jagged shards of splintered wood. After that, all hell broke loose, and the sailors began running amok and screaming wildly.
Next: beast
He was almost unrecognizable now, a beast of pure light and energy, which crackled through the wires with the ferocity of a wild hurricane.
I have to get him out of there.
Next: energy
[name_f]Eliane[/name_f] might not have been the water [name_m]Guardian[/name_m] of the duo, but even she felt distinctly uncomfortable being so near the man, the sheer amount of energy making her head spin. Behind her, she could hear [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] gasp in horror, and then she knew.
This was Thora’s power Adnales was wielding.
Next: distinct
“Love you, too,” I said. “See you tonight.”
Ellory blew a kiss at the screen, and then there was a distinct beep as she hung up.
Next: screen
“Oh [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]…” [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] muttered, waving her hand in front of her face to try and get rid of the smoke. “What on earth did you guys do here?”
“Look, she didn’t mean to --” [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] said quickly.
“Just trying to make a smoke screen,” [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f] shrugged. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] both groaned loudly at that.
Next word: loud
Then the prince snapped his fingers loudly at Wyrm as if he could command the dragon’s undivided attention. “Down, boy, down.”
Next: snap
“You can’t just stay in there!” the boy snapped, cutting her off. “Don’t you know anything?”
Next word: know
“I lied, you know?” [name_m]Orson[/name_m] spoke hurriedly, his hearts hammering, hammering.
Next: hurry
“What about Luke?” [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] asked as the soldier hastily guided her out of her room. “And my father?”
“Master Onhud is being attended to as we speak. Hurry! Down these stairs!”
Next: attend
“I don’t think you have to worry much about [name_f]Karah[/name_f], dear. We raised her responsibly, and as a result, she has matured into an intelligent, dependable young woman. Also, I’m sure the young men who attend the university are of excellent caliber, both morally and academically.”
Next word: dear
I sighed. “About that. [name_m]Can[/name_m] you come pick her up? There was an…incident. We’ll tell you in person, if we can.”
“Oh, Andison,” [name_f]Karla[/name_f] said. She cleared her throat. “Of course, dear. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Be smart.” She hung up.
Next: soon
“Don’t do that, Mal,” [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] mumbled, shooting her sister a glare as [name_u]Mallory[/name_u] swung her PE bag against her leg. “And for god’s sake tell [name_f]Lily[/name_f] to hurry up, Mum wants us back home soon.”
“She wants us home in like half an hour, Fliss,” [name_f]Clover[/name_f] shrugged. “Don’t fret.”
Next: home
“So, what do you want to do today?” [name_u]Cordelle[/name_u] asked with a bright smile.
“I want to go home and never see your face again,” [name_u]Theo[/name_u] replied.
Next: again

[name_m]Callon[/name_m] fell out of the air, tumbling unceremoniously to the ground. It took a moment for him to regain his senses, or even realize that he had senses in the first place. Becoming tangible again was discombobulating.
Next: first
This wasn’t the first time someone had knocked Mallory’s wheelchair into a cupboard or desk, but it was definitely the first time the results had been so… explosive. [name_f]Clover[/name_f] found herself gaping at the disaster zone that the ‘experiment’ had left behind.
