“Nesta fought every step of the way.

She did not make it easy for them. She clawed and kicked and bucked.

And it was not enough.

And we were not enough to save her.

I watched as she was hoisted up. Elain remained shuddering on the ground. Lucien's coat draped around her. She did not look at the Cauldron.

Cassian stirred again, his shredded wings twitching and spraying blood, his muscles quivering. At Nesta's shouts, her raging, his eyes fluttered open, glazed and unseeing, an answer to some call in his blood, a promise he'd made her. But pain knocked him under again.

Nesta was shoved into the water up to her shoulders. She bucked even as the water sprayed. She clawed and screamed her rage, her defiance.

'Put her under,' the king hissed.

The guards straining, shoved her slender shoulders. Her brown-gold head.

And as they pushed her head down, she thrashed one last time, freeing her long, pale arm

Teeth bared, Nesta pointed one finger at the King of Hybern.

One finger, a curse and a damning.

A promise.

And as Nesta's head was forced under the water, as that hand was violently shoved down, the King of Hybern had the good sense to look somewhat unnerved.”
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

Sarah J. Maas
“The buzzing flies and screaming survivors had long since replaced the beating war-drums.

Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

Sarah J. Maas
“And then Nesta began screaming. Not in pain. But a name. Over and over.

'CASSIAN.'

Amren reached for her, but Nesta roared, 'CASSIAN!'

She scrambled to her feet as if she'd leap into the skies.

Her body lurched, and she went down, heaving again.

A figure shot from the Illyrian ranks, spearing for us, flapping hard, red Siphons blazing-”
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

Sarah J. Maas
“I had only silence in my head. Only silence, as I began screaming.

Screaming and screaming and screaming.

The emptiness in my chest, my soul at the lack of that bond, that life-

I was shaking him, screaming his name and shaking him, and my body stopped being my body and just became this thing that held me and this lack of him, and I could not stop screaming and screaming-”
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

Scott C. Holstad
“They gave me killer pills that knocked me on my ass for a few hours at least so I wouldn’t have to hear the godawful screaming. I’m exhausted and my blood boils and there’s nothing I can do. There was another life that seems so long ago and I try to reconstruct images, events, people, all just dreams tethered to the knife in my soul. This is my cross, my dagger, my napalm, my dance of the dead…”
Scott C. Holstad, Cells

Kristina Mahr
“The world has gone silent and black and
white, like a 1920s film, and the subtitles say
someone is screaming. I thought I was on
the train, but no, I'm tied to the tracks. I
thought there was a villain, but no, I tied
myself here. I thought the ropes must be
tight, but no, I could get up, I could go.
The train bears down, and I thought I
would save myself, but no -

the subtitles say someone is screaming.

But my mouth is open, and

nothing

is coming

out.”
Kristina Mahr, Something Softer

Though not about me.
Something to do with the truck.
It was leaking all over the place.
Gas.
It had caught fire. I was going to burn.
Except it wasn't gas.
[...]”
Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves
