Quote #1
I let out an uncontrollable whimper and opened my mouth to scream, but only a whisper escaped. I flung my weight forward, squirming and kicking and fighting to break free with every ounce of strength I had in me. But it was useless. My arms and legs moved in slow motion. My blood rushed cold, my veins darkening, mapping my skin with bluish-purple lines. (1.6)
Talk about a nightmare. The dreams that Gemma has every night are completely terrifying, even if she knows how they end. No matter how much she tries to escape, those icy demons always get her. What a bummer.
Quote #2
These unsolved mysteries left me with a massive sense of dread. I wasn't excited to go to astronomy on Monday. I even went to the extent of trying to fake sick so I could skip out on going to school. But that plan went to crap because Sophia hadn't bought my lame acting attempt at having the flu. (5.9)
All of this uncertainty and change in her life is starting to freak Gemma out. It's not enough that she feels emotions and develops a crush on a boy who clearly hates her—she has to contend with the fact that her "grandparents" are hiding some information from her as well.
Quote #3
I ran, but not very fast since the ground was one big accident waiting to happen. I kept telling myself nightmares didn't come true. Glowing, yellow-eyed monsters that kill people with their death chill aren't real. But as I felt the air abruptly descend to a bone chilling temperature, I freaked out. (5.90)
As much as Gemma tries to convince herself that her fears are unfounded, she can't help but feel intuitively that she should be scared. The idea of ice demons may be ridiculous, but Gemma can't shake the feeling that they're real and that they're coming to get her.
