2021-02-23 09:59:09On Wednesday, I didn’t get out of bed until almost noon, and when I went downstairs, I discovered my sister had left a few minutes after I went to bed the afternoon before. She’d left me a note telling me she’d call me soon. I couldn’t blame her. She needed to get back to headquarters so they could figure out what to do about Gibbon, and I honestly didn’t want to talk to her anymore anyway. It would be hard to get past what we’d been through together. She’d keep blaming herself, and I’d keep feeling guilty for putting her in a position where she had to trade herself for me.
My dad had gone to work like everything was normal, and his daughter wasn’t some freak. My mom was sitting at the kitchen table eating a sandwich and reading a magazine. When I walked in, she looked up and said, “Hi, honey,” and went back to what she was doing. I looked around the room, thinking there must be some sort of crew filming us or

My mom gasped and covered her mouth with her free hand. “Elliott? Elliott had a son?”“Elliott had a son,” I nodded.“But… I didn’t know Elliott had a son.”“Elliott didn’t know Elliott had a son.”I was getting a little tired of saying my deceased friend’s name. “Mom, I am sure that your impression of Brandon is less than stellar right now, but I can assure you, he’s a great guy. Once Zabrina took me, and he caught up, he never left my side again. The whole time I was on the ground, he’s the one that was protecting me. When Jamie was administering the serum—it hurt, and I was terrified—but Brandon was right there. And when I woke up in that hotel room, not knowing who or what I was, he was there, too. I don’t blame you for being angry at him. Or me. But… if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, please give him a chance to prove that

“So who is going to come show you how to use it?” I asked, thinking the more time we spent talking about him, the less time we’d have to spend talking about me.“I’m not sure. Your sister said she’d come check on me later, so maybe her. They said I’d have a mentor. I don’t know who that is yet.”“A mentor? That sounds good.” I wondered who mine would be. I hoped not Cadence. She wouldn’t know how to talk to me in a way that was productive.“Yeah, I think so. As long as it’s not Techy Long Stockings.”I burst out laughing. “What did you say?”“Didn’t they wear those really high socks back then, the white ones? With their breeches?”“Oh, yeah. I guess so. I thought you meant stalkings as in stalker.”“Well, if the nickname fits…. Anyway, how have you been? Are you all rested up? Ready for schoo

Going back to school was so surreal. I walked among hundreds of kids who knew nothing about what they didn’t know. I had been just like them once, really not that long ago. Walking around with no idea how much evil there is in the world and how close to home that evil can strike.Lots of people said hello to me in the hallway and welcomed me back. I knew most of that was because of Elliott. Everyone on campus had loved him, and his death had sort of made me a celebrity since I had known him personally, outside of school. They all knew I’d attended his memorial. Sometimes they asked me questions about it, which was a bit macabre. Today, they nodded and smiled, said they were glad I was feeling better. No one seemed to think I resembled Edward Cullen at all or accused me of being too sparkly under the fluorescent hallway lighting.“Hey, you’re back,” Lucy said, giving me a quick hug as we headed to choir class which we both had first period.

Brandon grew reflective and didn’t say anything for another span of lengthy seconds. “My mom is… an alcoholic.”I really wasn’t expecting that. I’m not sure why. I think, in retrospect, all the signs were there. I just didn’t really know anyone with a serious drinking problem, so maybe I didn’t know what to look for. I definitely had no words to show I understood, so I said, “I can imagine that’s hard for both of you.”He sort of chuckled, like he wanted to say, “To put it lightly,” or something, but he didn’t. Instead, he said, “She’s been one my whole life. When my grandparents were still alive, I spent a lot of time with them. But they died when I was ten. So, after that, I had to fend for myself a lot. She’s managed to hold down a job somehow, but the rest of the time, she’s pretty dysfunctional. And sometimes… living with her has been more than uncom

“There is no way in the universe I am letting you spend the night at Lucy’s house tonight, Cassidy,” my mom was saying as I tried to down my breakfast in time not to be late for school. I was dressed in my cheerleading uniform, as I was every Friday during football season, and the bacon and eggs she’d lovingly made me now seemed a little less infused with that particular emotion.“But Mom,” I began, “how else am I going to tell her and Em what happened? I’ve been back for three days, and they still don’t know anything.”“I understand that, dear,” she said, sipping her coffee, “but you’d have to be crazy to think I’d actually let you be out of my sight for that long so soon after what happened the last time you slept outside of this home.”I knew what she was saying, but the teenager in me was indignant. “You said there wouldn’t be any punishment.”

Lucy’s words lingered in my mind such that I wasn’t paying too much attention to anyone around me as I grabbed my books between third and fourth period. So I didn’t realize Liam was behind me until I turned around and bumped into him. “Sorry,” I muttered, hoping to hurry on my way.He grabbed my upper arm a little more tightly than I was comfortable with, though I don’t think he meant to hurt me. “Hey, Cass,” he said. “I just wanted to talk to you for a minute, if you’ve got a second.”I could tell by his poorly crafted sentence that he was nervous, not that he is usually a wordsmith. “What is it?” I asked. I hadn’t really talked to him since the day he’d asked me to the dance, and I’d laughed at him. I mean, I hadn’t been rude to him, but I certainly hadn’t sought him out. That was last March, over six months ago, and I felt like maybe he could’ve grown up

Before I could even get a statement of disbelief out of my mouth, Milo said, “It’s one thing to turn you down, but totally beyond disrespectful to then ask Jessica to go steady with him, just to rub it in your face.”“Totally lame,” Wes agreed.I didn’t have to defend myself. “WHAT?” Lucy exclaimed, pushing her tray of spaghetti away from herself. “You have got to be kidding me. That’s not even true! Cass doesn’t like Liam anymore—if she ever did. She turned him down for winter homecoming, remember?”“Sure,” Wes replied, just sort of staring at her. “But… I’m just telling you what everyone has been saying.”“So you don’t like him?” Milo asked.I realized in the time it took Lucy to explain the situation to my other friends that none of it even mattered. If Liam needed to spread rumors about me to get his kicks, then s

“As soon as we got off of the train, I ran to the bathroom. I felt like my bladder was going to burst.” We were sitting in my bedroom, Lucy and Emma on the bed, me in the chair from my desk turned to face them. I’d gotten them up to speed on everything that had happened in Kansas City and told them about how I talked Brandon into going with me to Philadelphia. Lucy thought he was my hero for going along to protect me while Emma said he was “an idiot” for letting me talk him into it.I had to take a deep breath before I continued, because even both of them were hanging on every word, like I was retelling a movie, it was all very fresh and personal still. “Once I was done, the stall door burst open, and Zabrina was standing there.”“Shut up!” Luce exclaimed, grabbing a pillow and squeezing it in front of herself. “Thank goodness you’d just peed or you probably would’ve wet your pants for sure.”

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,
