The nine live chloe king salvation pdf download
To be honest, the book was just satisfactory. The plot was pretty good, there was a decent amount of information and action so it wasn't exactly boring.
But what made this book just OK for me was the way the story was told. It was like, one chapter would be just information abou [ Easy read. Different from the Tv-Show. How different? Lets see:- Chloe seems to be a lot more confused in the books. We actually see a teenage girl trying to understand what the hell happened in her life. We never manage to see how strong she is mentally in the series. In the series, Brian has no idea who his father is and what he does.
He doesn't even know what Chloe is for that matter. He only knows he likes her. In the books, Brian [ My personal Pandora's box, is cliffhangers. This personal Pandora's box, had some help from TV. I Netflixed through the series, and found it shockingly shallow. But it ended, with a cliffhanger, wit [ The Nine Lives of Chloe King My friends and I always used to joke around about what it would be like to be part cat part girl.
Having paws being able to leap from place to place and running fast, what could be bad about it? Chloe King was once a normal teenage girl.
Although she was originally adopted from Russia and her father had left her and her mom when she was young, she had a normal life. She had two best friends, Amy and Paul, and they did everything together. On her birthday, Chloe Amy a [ I figured since I liked the TV series I may like the books.
I took the new omnibus featuring all three novels, hoping I could get a head start on the series before it further progressed. However surprise, surprise it was completely deferent. At the beginning of the book they introduced Chloe as a no [ I love the TV show, so I've decided to read the books.
Not bad. Seems good so far. I just hope my godkids read it when I'm doneWell, I change my mind about giving it to my godkids. They're too young for the content. The first and second book Fallen and Stolen were decent, but the third book Chosen didn't do anything to complete the story. As Chloe discovers who she is—and where she comes from—it is clear she is not alone. Someone is trying to get her. And they will stop at nothing until they do. Copyright ABC Family. We fly past as wedescend into the mist.
She takes a quick look around and starts to run. Its me. Not really sure if you can hear me - or even if youd want to if you could - but you have to know I never meant for this to happen. She brushes a curl off of his forehead. He stops when he sees Chloe, through the glass, in Brians room.
She looks at her hands for a moment - then pulls the sheet back a little, exposing Brians chest. As shes about to press down What the hell are you doing? Whitley is right there. I didnt know you were there. I just came to visit. Im Chloe. What I dont know is why youre here? Sometimes it felt like maybe we were more. We actually almost met once or twice.
Whitley is fighting to stay in control. We see the scalpel behind his back as he passes by Chloe. I just wanted to help. Whitley just stares at her Chloe really isnt sure if he knows who she is or what happened. But how could he? Whitley watches her go as he finally sets the scalpel down. Brian startles back to life, every machine going off. Whitley rushes to his side as Brian looks around, obviously unsure of where he is or whats happened.
Im here. Its going to be alright. Whitley glances back out the window into the ICU but Chloe is nowhere to be seen. We come around to discover that she has the contents of the BOX spread out in front of her. Theres a birth certificate and adoption papers and other documents all in Ukrainian. But Meredith is reading a crumpled and faded newspaper clipping.
She folds it back over and the headline reads Miracle Child Discovered in Rubble. And below it is a very grainy, black and white photograph of a GIRL, no more than one or two, standing in what appears to be the remains of a burnt out farmhouse.
Shes lost in thought as she stares out at the city below. Whitley is by his side as a nurse walks out. The second hes gone Is she alright? Thats the last thing I remember Whitley looks away. Is she here? What happened to her? After a beat, Whitley walks to the door and closes it. He turns to face his son. And as he goes to sit, we Mom, where are you? Meredith is in the living room.
In here. The women exchange a look. Brian is indeed standing at the door. Chloe throws her arms around him. I cant believe it. I just saw you and But Brian isnt returning the affection. Instead he turns away and walks back out onto the porch. Say something. Talk to me. Are you really one of those things? Are you responsible for what happened to me? Yes or no? After a very long beat Brian looks like he wants to say something but stops himself and takes off down the stairs.
He doesnt slow down as Chloe follows after. Please, stop. You have to let me explain. How every moment of our relationship has been a huge lie? I wanted to tell you - I just couldnt. BRIAN I dont know what sick, twisted plan youve got going on - but my dad was finally right about something.
What does he have to do with this? Insane, right? I called him a lunatic. But I can look into your eyes right now and know every word he said to me is true. I did. I told you I told you that we could never be together. That its about you and me? After what youve done to my family? Brian, I really dont know what youre talking about. Thats not true. When my father found her - she was covered in claw marks. He finally gets into his car and drives away down the street, leaving Chloe looking after him, completely alone - no idea how to process what shes just heard.
Hes still beat-up and bloodied from his encounter with Alek - and he looks even more unhinged than usual. He watches Chloe zip up her jacket and take off down the street. Your services are no longer required. ZANE What are you talking about? This isnt over. ZANE Wait. You promised-But the line goes dead.
Zane closes his phone. Olivia is sitting next to her. He seemed resourceful. Olivia smiles. His blood is pure. Always such a problem child. Whats a mother to do? Theyre all huddled around a table in the back of this otherwise quiet coffee house. ALEK Well then as secret societies go theyre doing a pretty good job. If he really was involved, she had to have known. ALEK pointed She also knew how to keep a secret.
Jasmine shoots him a quizzical look. PAUL But if Whitley Rezza is the big evil - doesnt that mean that Brian was also part of the Order - and that hes, you know, been spying on you and us this whole time? That isnt what it means. ALEK Kind of a coincidence, dont you think? AMY We dont even know how much his father is involved - maybe somebody told him. Maybe theyre just innocent pawns in a bigger plan. There are hundreds of explanations. You can figure out some more on your own.
But I just know that Brian wasnt involved. You think? AMY Paul - seriously - put the video game away. PAUL No. I was searching for images of Brians dad - and I found this. He shows them his phone. On it is a picture of Whitley in a tuxedo standing with Simone in a white evening gown at an art gallery. I was there that night. PAUL But thats her, right? Thats the hot assassin! Thats who shot you and I saw driving away.
Doesnt this pretty much prove that Brians dad is the one responsible for everything thats happening? Amy hits him. AMY That isnt exactly what we were trying to prove.
AMY excited But he kissed her. He wouldnt have done that if he knew. Nobody has an answer for that. PAUL I still dont understand why hes even alive. I mean that last guy was out cold in like-Amy hits him again.
I dont know why hes alive either. ALEK Unless I- beat I never got the chance. Jasmine suddenly looks up at Alek. ALEK Sorry - youre going to have to give me a little more. Preferably in English. ALEK What does that have to do with anything? PAUL I get it. Whitley is her enemy and Brian is his offspring. AMY Maybe the curse was broken. ALEK Quick - somebody find me a human to kiss and well find out. He should be dead. I swear. AMY looking off No. Turn around. Chloe turns to see her mom standing just inside the door.
I couldnt really call. After a few beats, its clear that Meredith isnt going away. Meredith sets the box in front of Chloe. Or what youre going through. But maybe something in here will help. Chloe opens the box to reveal the documents. She takes out her birth certificate. Is this all mine? I promised your father. I couldnt imagine who would want to kill a child but-- I swore to him. Chloe takes her hand.
Its okay. Chloe picks up the article Meredith was reading earlier with the headline: Miracle Child Discovered in Rubble. As Chloe looks up at her for an explanation, we All the homes have been burned and smoke is still clouding the air. Your father was investigating reports of ethnic cleansing and genocide in Eastern Europe.
Several remote villages had been completely destroyed - no one was sure who was responsible. The man steps over a charred victim. They got to one village just after the massacre had happened.
They searched everywhere, hoping to find some survivors - there werent any. But then, in the middle of everything, they found a little girl with big eyes - and not a scratch on her. Chloe just looks back down at her one-year-old self. Let this settle. You can tell me what you want to tell me when youre ready. Chloe gets up. I think both of us could probably use a few moments alone.
Meredith watches her go for a beat, then turns back to the wind and the view and her thoughts. San Francisco is a beautiful shade of gold in the distance. Theres the slightest movement in the shadows behind her. I dont know why you-SLAM! CHLOE is violently thrown up against the wall.
Youre a very popular girl. Lucky for me - I found you first. Off Chloes terrified expression, we ZANE Dont worry. Im not going to kill you. Im going to sell you to the highest bidder. But sadly, they are going to kill you. But hes back on her in a flash. He lunges, but she deflects. Chloe gets a claw to his face, but he barely seems to notice as the blood starts to seep. Zane pulls a blade out of a sheath.
Theres nowhere to run or hide in this small space. Chloe flips over the top of him. Before she can move - hes on her. She pushes against his chest, but he relentlessly brings the blade closer to her. And Zane gasps - struggles for breath as if the very life were being choked out of him. He drops the blade. For a brief moment, Chloe is overwhelmed by the power coursing through her.
Another beat, though, and she realizes shes killing him. She jerks her hands away from his chest the glow instantly disappearing. Chloe pushes Zane away as he catches his breath. Her back to him, she struggles to regain her self-control. He starts to stumble back - mortally wounded. But Jasmine catches him by the hair and holds him up. I want this face to be the last thing you see before you die.
And just know - if there really is an afterlife - youre gonna see it again. Jasmine pulls the knife out. Zane looks like hes going to say something, but only manages a half-smile before blood trickles out of the corners and his eyes roll up.
Hes dead. We hold on Jasmine looking at her mothers killer in the middle of Chloes completely destroyed room. Chloe crawls back up against a wall to catch her breath. But are oh-so-weirdly grateful when you do.
Chloe sets the tea down in front of Jasmine. I wasnt in control of what was happening. It felt like I was literally pulling the life out of him. But if you didnt stop you might have lost one of yours. Why would he do this? I couldnt hear what it was. Jasmine gives her a look. Now its Chloes turn to give her a look. Hell call if theres a problem.
But Chloe doesnt look too sure. Suddenly Alek lands in frame. And with barely a glance over his shoulder, he hops the wall. Only a few lights are on. Hes about to move when he sees Alek drops down - staring. He comes out of the underbrush and starts across the hall when suddenly The lights of a Town Car illuminate the driveway. Alek tumbles out of sight as the car drives past towards the front door. He looks after it for a beat - but then runs for the other end of the house.
He hears a noise. He stares out into the trees nothing. They dont believe I can do it. Maybe we should just leave. Arent you the one who told me that theyll never stop? But hes right.
I thought that somehow I could keep my lives separate. Jasmine is next to Merediths desk. For all the crap she gives me about my room, youd think that she-But Chloe stops when she sees what Jasmine is holding. Its Whitley Rezzas business card. She answers. Just about to grab a cable car.
I should be home in a few. Quick question. How do you know Whitley Rezza? But nothing happened. We were going to go back to his place for a drink but he got this horrible call about his son. I texted him to see if everything was alright-Chloe and Jasmine exchange a look. Dont come home. My friend Jasmine is going to come meet you. Im only-But the line is dead. Its time Brians dad and I had a conversation.
He knows where I live. I cant hide. And now neither can he. And shes out the door. Somehow you can appear as if the world isnt blowing up around you. I had a lovely day. But you really shouldnt be in this business.
I did not go out to see Brian. We would not be having this conversation if you were fine. That was a lie. Everything is not fine. But this is not an Iwas-sixteen-once-too-you-know moment. My life. My issues. My problems to solve. The only thing that you could possibly do right now that might help is After a long beat.
Always and forever. Better already. Chloe goes to kiss her mom but Meredith pulls her in and hugs her tight. Chloe hugs her back. Me, too. CHLOE Meredith looks after her, worried and pained - unsure what to do.
Just as suddenly, she pushes him away. Do you have any idea what happened to me tonight? I was just about to call you with a report. I want to know how you let Brian get involved in this. Never forget that.
They tested the blood on his hands and shirt Huge steel gates start to swing open. The dark room is lit by candlelight. The shadows obscure their faces. There is faint murmuring from the rest of the assembled.
Just the one. That should leave us with at least six to use as we will. More than enough. The horizon is just starting to get light. Alek sits behind her. I remember. Conscious or unconscious.
Chloe looks to Alek. After a beat, she turns away. Why Zane killed Valentina? ALEK Then trust no one. It was a well-planned attack. They targeted you and everyone around you. ALEK No. Until we all are. From this moment on - there are only two outcomes. Chloe and Alex share a look as we Chloe is off to the side with Amy and Paul. Alek, in a black suit, is behind her.
And I vow on my life that your sacrifices will not be forgotten - and that the wrongs done upon you will be avenged. Alek immediately turns away and brushes past Chloe. Chloe shares a look with Amy. Amy comes up next to him. AMY no response I just wanted to say how sorry I am. I get it. Do you honestly think that for even a second she wants any of this?
She deserves better. It means a lot. Of course. AMY They share a smile and she gives him a quick up and down.
ALEK AMY What? And Chloe is quickly between them. She was too weak to-SLAM. Before he can even react, Jasmine has her boot on his throat. She pushes down on his throat for emphasis before abruptly walking away, the crowd parting as she goes.
Garreth is left on the ground gasping for breath. Chloe has her arm around her. Alek, Paul and Amy look on. I should be dead. She gave her life for mine. I could feel myself fading away. Valentina slides her hand across the floor toward Jasmine. Jasmine reaches out and lays hers on top. It took me a second to realize what she was doing. Valentina falls back as her eyes roll up.
Momma, I love you. But nothing happens. Valentina is truly gone. She literally gave you her life? Some stronger than others. We can channel our energy to save a life Jasmine looks up as her, uncertain and obviously afraid.
Finally - she knocks. The room is nowhere near its usual tidy self. No response. Meredith looks around. She hesitates over the computer, but moves on. Then she notices the wastebasket full of crumpled paper. She starts pulling out more - finally, she gets to what the paper is hiding Meredith slowly picks it up. She sits down on the bed and stares at it for a beat, trying to wrap her mind around the possibilities.
Then, abruptly, she gets up, tossing the blouse on the floor, and hurries out of the room. She reaches far underneath and pulls out the BOX. She brushes a curl off of his forehead. What the hell are you doing? Whitley is right there. I just came to visit. Sometimes it felt like maybe we were more. We actually almost met once or twice. Whitley is fighting to stay in control.
We see the scalpel behind his back as he passes by Chloe. I just wanted to help. Whitley just stares at her But how could he? Whitley watches her go as he finally sets the scalpel down.
Whitley glances back out the window into the ICU but Chloe is nowhere to be seen. We come around to discover that she has the contents of the BOX spread out in front of her.
