Fear Quote by Adrianne Brooks
““There are things that go bump in the night.” He said, eyes trained on Liam but words for all of them. Fear was a perfume in the air. “Things that lay in wait beneath beds.” He continued voice hypnotic and mocking. “They skulk in closets. Hide in shadows.” His licked his lips and his head lowered so that he could regard them from beneath his lashes. “Then, there’s me. I am no bogey little human, I am no nightmare. I am so much more than that. I am fear and I was named of Angels.””
