The underground world was well built and bright with whitewashed walls lining corridors wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
The shadow named Two emerged from the corner.
Two, let her walk around for an hour every twelve.
Two freed her a few hours later and let her walk around the room.
If she could only reach him … She faced Two, the only thing between her and escape.
She approached Two hesitantly.
Two caught her before she hit the ground.
Seizing control of himself, Two stepped forward and pushed her back, binding her to the table again.
You were born two years apart.
Two obeyed and moved forward, slicing his wrist for her again.
Two returned to his corner.
The life died from Two's eyes, and he replaced his hood.
Congrats. You've survived two days.
Two, put her on the table.
Two left, the necklace dangling in his hand.
Two had never heard kiri cry so hard.
Two went to Damian's cell and opened the door.
Two had helped force feed him, before he knew kiri loved him.
Damian was the strongest man Two had ever met.
As Two gazed at Damian, another flash of images driving him to his knees.
Two pulled up his sleeve.
Two released Damian from the bonds and lifted him over his shoulders.
Two's chest clenched at the thought, and he was afraid.
Sofia darted off the table, staring at him as he entered, trailed by Two and the man with green eyes.
The man with green eyes leaned over to Two, whispering to him.
Two bowed his head, and the green-eyed man was gone in a sparkle of light.
Two obeyed, lifting her off the floor and carrying her.
The voice in her head came from Two.
Two, take this bitch to the helo-pad.
Two lifted her and carried her into a hallway teeming with vamps.
The thought pierced her thoughts, and she sagged against Two, not caring if she survived or not.
Two took her down a quieter hall and set her down.
Two pulled her to her feet.
Sofia followed him as the halls angled up and narrowed until Two had to walk through them sideways.
They passed through two more doors before exiting into a cold desert night on the side of a mountain, overlooking the activity at the elevator's entrance.
Two continued walking, finding a narrow path in the dark and starting down it.
Two walked on once he reached the desert, and she trotted after him, looking back at the floodlit entrance to the elevator.
Two took her arm, driving her onward.
She was driven back against Two, who caught her.
Two lowered her, pulling up his sleeves to fight.
Two strained against her grip and tensed.
He will be forever stuck between the two worlds, the good and the evil, without entering either or leaving either behind.
Two armored Tahoes sat out front with an additional two more well-armed Guardians.
He knew as much and was as grateful for the two men before him as he was at finding his brother again.
The two of them toppled to the floor with the book.
I was a normal human two weeks ago.
Two of them laughed.
Her two canines were larger than before and gave her the appearance of a vampire.
Maybe two, if you please me again.
Deidre looked over her shoulder at the reflection in the mirror displaying the two markings on her back.
You said something similar two days ago, before I became the mate of the Dark One.
Darkyn's daughter appeared frail and gaunt, her skin a shade or two darker than the white pillow beneath her head.
Darkyn did two things that she almost agreed with.
Maybe she'll learn a thing or two about being human.
It's been going on for two weeks, and it's getting worse.
Of course, he chose two of the most selfish people she knew.
The air was hot and dry, the two suns too dim to shed much light into the black fortress.
Deidre looked around, struck by how different the place she lived for two years felt.
Two large men entered.
He took her arm with one of the hands that had explored every part of her body not two weeks before.
He has the two I think.
The two were tense enough to worry her that they meant to fight.
The two deities were bristling.
There have been two deities in the position of the Dark One, rendering him one of the oldest.
Gabriel awaited her on the beach near where they'd first sat together two weeks before.
She almost told him that – of the two of them – she was the one with nothing to fear from Darkyn.
I'll owe you two.
Romantic setting for two former lovers.
Deidre laughed at the exchange, sensing a quasi-friendship as old as the two arguing.
In two days your deal with Past-Death is up.
She let herself think what she'd do, if she had the choice between the two.
Selyn peeked out from the two inches she'd opened the door, her dark eyes identical to her father's.
Two forms stepped between them and the portal, blocking it.
She didn't recognize the two men before her, but they were dressed much like the two death dealers that tried to turn her over to Harmony in her old apartment.
The glow from the flashlight barely illuminated the next few feet of inky darkness as the two youngsters crept along the dank passageway.
Something's been troubling Martha for the past two weeks.
Cynthia thought a second or two, careful with her answer.
The three largest quarters were located on the third floor, all presently booked by the two Dawkins brothers and wives, one pair of whom was not sleeping with his mate.
After eleven pairs of shoes, two stray dogs who gave up on me, and a girl friend who skipped off with a coal truck driver in West Virginia, here I am.
You two got along very well.
That was two for one night at McGinchy's tavern.
They were two strangers.
The two remained that way, blanketed in the comforting stillness of the old house and one another's arms.
David Dean, without a remote control, had difficulty with the TV and these two old fogies were out surfing the net like a couple of Silicon Valley youngsters.
We'll be back in an hour or two.
The two men didn't simply dislike one another—the feelings ran far deeper.
The two mused over capturing a free half-day to hike the alpine meadows.
I might have pulled your leg a time or two, but we've got along pretty good over the years keeping stuff to ourselves.
They might still want to ask me a question or two.
He quickly agreed and the two strolled, for the first time since Christmas, to St. Daniel's Catholic Church, a few blocks away.
The time is two hours later in New Jersey.
The telephone confab was between Rose and Cynthia and apparently the two spoke with like mind.
All were mellowing on two bottles of cognac Paul Dawkins provided, in smiling celebration of some event known only to him and Paulette.
Even Pumpkin Green, the trekking philosopher, tossed in his two cents.
It was after nine before the two had time to talk, and come to some sort of peaceful understanding.
The last item on Dean's list of pleasurable activities was punching one if you want this and two if you want that buttons, then sitting on hold while listening to elevator music from some bureaucratic office.
Fine. I can hardly wait to get elected so I can get rid of those two winners you hired before you bailed out.
Dean had trouble remembering who was who but all were of like mind in their affection for the old man who turned up the charm meter a notch or two.
The couple was newly married, Bird Song still under construction, and with Fred out of town, they stole two days on a camping honeymoon.
Next to the opening was a blackened fire ring with two large boulders on either side.
Two used condoms were nearby.
Two more turns were negotiated and marked and in spite of their slow progress, according to the map they were nearing their goal.
Without a pump or two spares, they accomplished the same thing.
I picked it up in a garage sale, for two dollars—with a bike tire patch kit tossed in.
They were driving on Main Street when they spotted Fred O'Connor sauntering down from the courthouse chatting with two ladies who looked enthralled by his company.
How do I know the two matters aren't tied together unless I poke a bit?
Finding another Dawkins in one of Ouray's dozen or two lodging places shouldn't be much trouble for an ace detective-almost sheriff.
The two were silent, waiting each other out.
Dean looked down at the two holes in his belt, now rendered unusable.
The two drinks and lack of a third caused him to be more direct than normal politeness would dictate.
His replacement early morning audience consisted of two old ladies from Indiana who'd just checked in, Pumpkin Green, and Paulette Dawkins.
There was the Friday meeting with the town ladies— just two days away—and Dean knew he should be gathering thoughts and notes but his mind was too scattered to construct a coherent speech.
He decided to move on to problem number two and find out something about the tiny bone he'd discovered.
Amid boxes, lamps, and glassware of every description sat the old man, atop a trunk, snuggled between the two maiden ladies from Indiana.
The other four trunks displayed like goods—a moth-eaten gorilla suit, two bloody collections of dresses, and an outfit Dean supposed Frankenstein wore when he went out for a little nightlife.
It was the first real words the two had exchanged since their meeting at the mine.
The two chatted while Cynthia dried her hands.
The Wolfman showed up in Mrs. Worthington's trunk and two of her friends, the gift shop owner included, reported a mummy and an assortment of armor.
The fact that Mrs. Worthington's sister was playing tourist on the road for at least the next two weeks made prospects bleak for catching up with Martha's bones, at least in the near future.
Switching the bones and killing him in the first place are two different acts—forty years apart.
He, too, could visualize the two young people headed for wedded bliss, a six-pack between them.
Just have two instead of four and you'll save half the calories.
Acting Sheriff Fitzgerald was slipping two one-pint bottles of vodka into a paper bag as Dean was about to open the door.
