“Damn. This is not going to be easy.”

Ending line:
Of course I do. And I know that until they go to cast the final spells, I’m safe. Lucifer can’t approach me if I don’t want him to. Trust me, Diana, I can protect myself. But you can’t. They’ll kill you if they find you. Go, now. Get to safety.

Darling:
Not really. I will later.

(metrics/nano) Going strong – and still happy with the results

Eventually, I will have some cool widgets on the site here, but WordPress and I are having some differences of opinion, and I suspect I’ll have to uninstall and reinstall before I can do too much more. So for right now, we do it the old fashioned way.

Starting line:
Diana hesitated. Yeah, if I can figure out how, she admitted. I had kind of hoped that you and I could work together to get out of here.

Ending line:
Go, Diana. Lyla’s voice drifted on the wind, brushing a single lock of Diana’s hair back from her face. I am safe for now. Go, and be careful, daughter.

Darling:
Diana sank to her knees in the snow, blinded by the pain, reaching out to Thom and hitting only a steel wall of gossamer threads, draped by a spider with venomous eyes that glared at her.
