2021-02-22 13:06:19Once I was in my room, I closed the door behind me, sat down on the edge of the bed and called my sister. It went to voicemail. I was so agitated, I almost chucked my phone across the room. I sent her a text. “Now is good.”
I wouldn’t have been shocked if Cadence made me wait an hour or two. Trying to calm my anxiety over what she might have to say and head off my agitation, I picked up my laptop and scanned the news sites, something I’d been doing basically every day since Elliott had mentioned this to me around the time of the killings in Cabo. The headlines jumped out at me. Two plane crashes near Dallas, a school nearby having some sort of vague intruder scare, a truck wreck leaving a man dead. Apparently, my sister had been in Texas.
My phone rang, startling me. I set my laptop aside and answered it. “Hello?”
“Well, hello there, dear sister. You sound irritated.”
“I tried to call you, and you didn

“Look, Cass, you’re killing yourself with this,” Lucy said over lunch in the cafeteria the next morning. “Why don’t we all just agree not to do anymore searches unless we are together. That way, we can keep an eye on our mental health?”“But when can we even get together?” I replied, not very interested in the overcooked burrito on my tray. How can you ruin a burrito? “With school and cheerleading, my stupid piano lessons, and football games….”“Well, we play at home on Friday, and Emma is going this week. Why don’t we all come over to your house after the game, and we can work for a few hours then?”I thought about it. That made sense. We all liked to stay up late on Friday nights anyway, and Lucy would be particularly wired after the football game as she always was. “I guess that will work,” I muttered.“Great. Until then, no more footage. No more news

I was glad calling my sister didn’t actually require any dialing because I imagined I’d be like one of those nervous women in one of those old films, trying to get her shaking finger to make the rotary dial go all the way around in a circle. Instead, I only had to press a few buttons to get my sister on the phone. For some reason, I decided to FaceTime her. Probably not the best idea since Lucy and Emma were there, and I didn’t know if Cadence was aware they’d been helping me. I had a feeling Aaron knew—he seemed to know a lot of things he shouldn’t be aware of—but at the time, I didn’t care. I just needed my sister to see the sincerity in my expression when I told her the big news. We’d actually found Giovani.“Cassidy? What’s up?”Cadence looked relieved to see I was calling for some reason. Though her greeting was nonchalant, I could tell by her tone something was going on. I tried to figure out

“OMG indeed,” Lucy agreed.We sat in silence for a long time before Emma muttered, “Interesting, and scooted away from me, back to where she’d been sitting most of the night, and picked up her laptop.“What are you doing?” Lucy asked her.“Seeing if Christian has already given us access to the cameras we need to try to find out where Giovani went when he left the airport,” she said with a shrug.“Emma, you do realize that we just saw a dude our age who looks just like Elliott? Except not as old, no offense.” Lucy looked up at the ceiling with that last comment, like she was talking to him in heaven.“Yeah, I saw him. His name is Brandon,” Emma said, still typing away. Her forehead crinkled. “It doesn’t look like it was part of the original install. I wonder if he could push it through email.”I was too startled by Brandon’s existence to even think

“Well, I’m not staying up for all that,” I said, yawning. “I say, we go to sleep, and we can work on that tomorrow. And if I can talk my sister into letting me go to KC tomorrow, then I’m doing it, and you two can fend for yourselves.”“Like you were any help anyway,” Lucy teased, and I glared at her before she started giggling. “Okay, I agree. And I must say, I’m very proud of you for staying off of there without us the last few days as we agreed. And for staying away from the news headlines.”“Thank you,” I said, getting up to grab my pajamas out of my dresser drawer. Emma had brought her sleeping bag and would crash on the floor, and while Lucy and I would both fit in the bed, I thought I might go sleep in Cadence’s room just because I kinda wanted some quiet, and Lucy had a tendency to talk until she passed out. “I have to say, though, this is truly killing me, you guys.&rdquo

My friends were still sleeping, and so were my parents, so I decided to take my phone and go hang out in the kitchen, waiting for my sister to call. Normally, it would be pancake day, but I wasn’t sure if my dad would go to all that trouble with my friends here. Sometimes he did; sometimes he didn’t. Either way, it didn’t stop me from having a bowl of Cheerios while I stared at my phone.When my phone finally did ring, I answered it on the first ring. “Cadence?” I hoped I sounded happy to hear from her and not like someone who has been staring at her phone forever.“Hey, Cass. You sound wide awake. How’s it going?” my sister asked, and I thought I heard the sound of springs groaning like she was still in bed.It kind of bothered me that she hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet when she knew I was waiting to hear about Brandon. “I’ve been waiting for you to call me for, like, an hour,” I replied

My sister actually got to our house early, which shocked me, but then I found out that she’d insisted Aaron fly her so that she could take a nap. That was fine with me, though. That meant we’d get back to headquarters all the faster.Mom and Dad were not thrilled to find out I’d be spending the weekend in Kansas City. “I just think it’s all too fast,” my mom said as I sat in the living room with my bags, waiting for Cadence to arrive. “You’re only sixteen, and barely that. You don’t even have your driver’s license yet, sweetie.”“What does that have to do with anything?” I’d asked, trying not to be snarky.“Your mother is just saying, it’s been an awfully lot of change this past year,” my dad had explained. “I think you should just slow down a little, honey.”“You know Cadence will keep me safe,” I reminded them. “Nothing dan

It was about two o’clock when we made it into Cadence’s apartment. She still seemed groggy, but I thought she might come around in a little bit, and then maybe I’d finally have a chance to see what this was all about from her perspective. It seemed a little odd to me that the person who spoke to me the least about this whole deal was my own sister.I loved my sister’s apartment and spent a few minutes staring out the window at the view before Cadence told me to make myself at home on the couch. I sank back into the cushions, feeling a little tired myself. The dream that’d interrupted my slumber came back to me as Aaron mentioned he’d dropped my bag in the guest room.“I need to go check in with Jamie,” Aaron said to my sister as he walked toward the door. “He said he needs to see me in person. So….”Cadence was still standing in the middle of the room. “What’s that all about?”

My sister was already headed toward the door. I remembered the remark Aaron had made in the airplane about Cadence having no clue what was going on with me and decided to mess with my sister a little bit. “Which one is Jamie?”Cadence held the door for me and said, “He’s the Healer.”“The one with the spiky hair?” I asked. Not, “The one that took me to visit Grandma?”“That’s him.” We waited for the elevator to reach the penthouse level, and she didn’t even seem to think it strange I wouldn’t know who Jamie was. So, I continued to have my fun.“I remember Meagan and Aurora. What’s that other guy’s name? The one with the weird accent?”“That’s Christian,” Cadence replied as we stepped into the elevator. “He’s not here right now, though.”“Oh, where’s he at?” I found that surprising a

Cadence was glowing, holding both of her babies, one in each arm. I smiled at her and then focused on Josephina. She wasn’t crying now, but her little face was wrinkled as if she might burst into tears at any moment. Aaron had his hand on her back, beaming with pride as he looked at his little family. Jamie and another Healer, Ona, were cleaning up a tray table, but I caught his eye, and he winked at me. I hoped he could tell how grateful I was. If it wasn’t for him and his life saving blue magical healing powers, not to mention his medical skills, Cadence never would’ve come back to life.“Where’s my new favorite lil girl?” Elliott asked beside me.“Hey! I’m your lil girl. You’re going to have to think of something else to call her.” I threw an elbow at him.“Oh, I’m just teasing,” Elliott assured me. “Still, she is definitely lil. And she is my girl.”“I&rsqu

I’ll never forget the day my sister died. Even now, eight months later, sitting outside of Jamie’s operating room with Brandon’s hand in mine, every time I think about what happened that day, I get tears in my eyes. So many things could’ve gone differently, if only one of us would’ve made a different choice. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on what I could’ve done differently myself that day, and even though everyone tells me there’s no point in dwelling on it, what’s done is done, it still haunts me sometimes when I’m trying to fall asleep at night, when I can so vividly see Cadence hanging there in the air before she plummeted to the ground, the whoosh of power that left my hand just missing its mark.The new Hunter Leader is a guy named Daniel Bower. He came in from California a few months ago. He’s awesome. I’ve known him for a while. He’s the one who helped capture Professor Stewart after th

I continued to beg and plead with her to come back to us. At fifteen minutes, Scarlet’s whispers were loud enough for me to detect what she was saying to Cale. “How long will he give it?”“I don’t know.” Cale seemed agitated and upset, certainly more connected to my sister than Scarlet. “Not yet.”“Please... Cadey, please.” I felt as far and as deep as I could, thinking about how I’d had to go so very far into her brain to plant that dream. The clock continued to tick. Cadence still wasn’t breathing, and Jamie began to sound desperate. At twenty-five minutes, when Jamie said “thirty,” his voice broke. He knew that the chances of her coming back to us now, after this long, were minute at best. He couldn’t give up, though. We couldn’t give up.Aaron blew two breaths of air into my sister’s lungs, and Jamie started counting again.Something was diff

After Aaron finally moved forward, I followed, staying back a little bit. I didn’t want to see her like that. I had never seen a person’s body after they’ve fallen that far, but I could imagine what it was like.Only when I finally did take a few hesitant steps around the trees, Brandon’s hands on my shoulders, she didn’t look like I expected her to at all.Cadence was lying flat on the ground with her hands folded over her abdomen, sort of like Snow White. Her feet were out straight, and her hair was blown out around her. She looked absolutely beautiful. And still. So very, very still.Jamie was doing chest compressions, and when it was time to breathe, Aaron did that for my sister. Some sort of automatic pilot must’ve turned on for him because his movements were very robotic. Jamie would say thirty, and Aaron would breathe into my sister’s open mouth twice before Jamie started counting again.Tears were rolling

“No!” My scream echoed across the mountainside as I watched in horror as my sister fell. I cannot guide what I cannot see, and I didn’t have a chance to get a grip on her before she plummeted. My hands shot out in her direction, but the surge of power I’d sent to grab her went over her head. I saw a streak of blue do the same and knew Jamie had missed as well.Fumbling through Cadence’s stream of consciousness, I tried again, hoping I’d be able to figure out how to get my powers around her before she hit the ground, but she was moving too fast, and without my eyes on her, I wouldn’t be able to get a grip.Part of me wanted to at least jump into her head, to be with her, to let her know she was okay, but then, the thought of what she was about to endure, when she hit the tops of the trees and then cascaded down through them to the earth, I couldn’t bear the thought, and I knew she wouldn’t want me to see it.I

“Brandon!” I shouted, floating over to where he had disappeared. He didn’t answer, and I realized he must’ve fallen all the way in. “Dang it.” I looked around the battlefield. I knew he was safe down there, but I hated that he was in that miserable place. Cadence was firing at Daunator now while Christian moved in, to place the grenade, I assumed, so I thought perhaps she’d be safe for a few minutes. I decided to help Brandon.“Are you all right?” I asked, using my telepathy.“Thank goodness,” he thought, probably not even to me. “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just really dark in here.”“I know. Hold on, and I’ll get you out.”“If I hold on, won’t it be harder for you to get me out?”“All right smarty pants.” I needed to focus all of my energy if I was going to do this

“You okay?” Brandon shouted to me as he moved a little closer to where I was standing. The holes in the ground were not shaking now as much as they had been before, but they were still an obstacle we had to consider. I didn’t want him to get too close because of my tornadoes, but I was glad he was nearby.“Great,” I called back, sending another pile of creatures over the side of the mountain.Aaron was fighting his way through the crowd of black creatures, working his way to Cadence. The path was getting clearer, as far as the minions were concerned, but once he got within about a hundred yards of Cadence’s location, one of the Vampires that had been engaged with our forces closer to the top of the mountain broke off, clearly on his way to intercept the Guardian Leader.Whether he liked it or not, Aaron wasn’t alone now. I wasn’t sure where she’d come from, but Eliza was running parallel to him, fighting off

Moving the black creatures off of the ledge worked well, and I was just starting my second round when I realized my sister had taken off running toward Daunator. Christian had reached him already, a grenade in his hand. I prayed he didn’t get sucked down into another hole. The fact that Cadence was so far away from Aaron was worrisome, but he was busy with the creatures. While Cadence was slowed a few times by the minions sinking their teeth into her arm or grabbing at her heels, for the most part, they seemed to be letting her through, which seemed like a bad sign to me. Did Daunator want her to fight him?A blast of light illuminated the mountain, and then a wave of smoke obscured my view of Christian and Daunator. He’d thrown a grenade, the old kind, the ones he knew wouldn’t work. When the smoke cleared, Daunator’s laughter echoed through the air, and Christian went flying twenty feet in the air.Paul’s voice came over the IAC as I tos

Christian’s eyes widened. “Get out of here? We can’t. We have to get Daunator.”“We will. But for now, we need to go back and regroup. The most important thing is that you’re safe now,” Cadence explained to him.Christian was starting to freak out again. “No, Cadence, you don’t understand. We can’t just leave from here! We can’t just let him go!” His eyes were wild, and he reached forward and grabbed my sister’s shoulders. That lasted about half a second before Aaron grabbed him and pulled him off.“Listen, Christian, I agree. It’s important we come back and end this, but you need medical attention. And a good visit with Hannah.”And a shower, I thought to myself. But I was staying out of this one for the moment. I felt a stirring in the ground and a shift in energy somewhere further up the mountain. The argument was about to be moot.“No,
