Haven Quote by Patrick Ness
““HELP!” I race to the square, crossing it, looking all around, listening out- No . No . It’s empty. Viola’s breathing heavy in my arms . And Haven is empty. I reach the middle of the square. I don’t see nor hear a soul. I spin around again. “HELP!” I cry. But there’s no one. Haven’s completely empty. There ain’t hope here after all.””
