2021-02-23 10:46:49Messing with my sister had become one of my favorite past times recently. I’m not exactly sure why this was, but I seemed to be doing it at every opportunity. So, when she sat down with me to show me how to use my IAC, I had to give her a hard time. I’d basically already figured everything out within the first minute and a half of her telling me the commands, but whenever she asked me to demonstrate something for her, I had to play dumb. It was entertaining.
“Okay, just go ahead and think, ‘Cadence Full On,’ and you should see my name pop up in the corner of your line of sight.”
“Okay,” I said, making a face like I was really concentrating. Brandon was sitting in a chair across the room while my parents were out for an after-dinner stroll around the campus, and I think Aaron was working on something as usual.
“You got it?” she asked.
“I don’t know. Is it working?”

Cadence was clearly trying to determine if a Vampire Hunter could kill a Hybrid through determination and will power alone. She had me running up and down The Hill for almost an hour, after weight training, an hour in the pool, and almost two hours on the treadmill. I really thought by the end I wasn’t going to be able to take anymore, but every time she gave me another order, I said, “Yes, El Capitan!” over the IAC, just to show her I could, and then did it. I didn’t say a single word out loud to her for the entire attempted murder, I mean, workout session, and I also managed to request visuals from her at least every five minutes, which she continuously denied. I knew I should be the grownup and let it go, but I was trying to prove a point to her—I just didn’t know exactly what it was.After about my thousandth run up The Hill, she finally said, “Okay, that’s it. We’re done.”I bent over and put my

The next few weeks passed by both slowly and at breakneck speed, depending upon the given day of the week. There were three weeks of school between Thanksgiving break’s end and Christmas break’s beginning. In that amount of time I realized how much I hated going to school and pretending to be normal when nothing was anymore. Any chance I got, I was on the IAC with Brandon, sometimes even in class, and most of my evenings I spent either talking to him or hunting through the archives, watching past hunts or reading reports. I did get to spend one more weekend during those three weeks at LIGHTS, and my parents let me go without them, which was cool. Cadence tried training me again, but even after our emotional connection, it just wasn’t working, and she handed me back over to Aurora. Since I’d finished the rest of the Thanksgiving week with her, I was happy to be back with the redhead. She just got me better. It didn’t hurt that both Jacinda and Brit had b

I was sitting in algebra class only the day after Cadence’s unexpected visit when I got an IAC message from her. Unlike everyone else, she can just barge in whenever she wants because she’s the boss.“Hey, Cass. Sorry to interrupt.”“What?” I asked, trying to listen to my teacher even though I knew for a fact I was not one of the people who would actually need algebra for their profession someday.“What are you doing?”“Algebra. We’re taking a quiz.” It was a lie, but if it got her out of my head quicker, I didn’t really care.“Oh, sorry. Well, I just wanted to let you know that something’s come up, so I’m going to send Brandon to get you this weekend, okay? But you can’t tell anyone anything about any of this. Got it?”I wasn’t sure why Cadence was acting like it was such a big deal that sh

Brandon was already at my house Friday when I got home from school. I had packed my bag that morning before I left. It took me a few seconds to tell my mom goodbye, listen to her strict warning to be careful, and we were in the Enclave, heading out of town. I felt like a thousand pound weight had been lifted off my chest.“How’s your day been?” Brandon asked as he weaved through traffic on the highway. “Did you have a good day?”“It was fine,” I said, wishing Aaron would let him drive the Aventador, but he still didn’t trust Brandon with that particular type of vehicle for long distances yet. “But I don’t want to talk about it. Do you have any idea what’s going on with Cadence? Why couldn’t she come and get me herself.”“I’m not exactly sure,” he said, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. “But something is up. I know that much.”“Really?” I

Watching Brandon eat pizza is sort of like watching an Olympic sport. You ask yourself a half dozen times how is one person actually able to do something of his magnitude? Like those guys who can swallow thirty hotdogs in two minutes, or whatever those crazy contests are, Brandon can eat pizza like no one I’ve ever seen before, and that’s saying something because Lucy Burk can really put away some cheese pizza.“I’m going to win you one of those plushes before this night is over,” he vowed, wiping his hands on a napkin.“Maybe you should leave them greased up,” I suggested. “Maybe it’ll make you faster.”He narrowed his eyes at me only momentarily, like it took him a second to tell if I was joking. “You know that no one ever wins anything here, right?” he said for the hundredth time.“I know,” I nodded. “So… what makes you think you’ll be able to?

That night, I lay in my sister’s guest room listening to the silence around me, gripping my stuffed Grumpy Bear to my chest, thinking about the conversation I’d had with Cadence. It was weird being in her apartment without her here. The remodel was done, and now the penthouse was one ginormous apartment—which wasn’t my business, though I’d remembered my mother’s face when she’d visited at Christmas and realized what was going on. She’d said, “Well, it’s nice to have a roommate, I suppose….”That wasn’t what was really on my mind, though, as I stared up at a freshly painted white ceiling. It was the idea that I would have to do my best to eavesdrop on the enemy without being detected. Part of me found it a bit exciting, sort of like being a spy in the middle of a war. Part of me found it revolting, like listening to demons talk about picking apart their prey. I didn’t want to end up a target a

Cadence still wasn’t back by Sunday afternoon, the day that Aaron was due back—the day that I would have to leave. Brandon and I both decided we didn’t want to be anywhere near him when he returned since we didn’t have any answers for him, so as soon as Aurora was done kicking our booties, we hit the showers and loaded up the car to head back to Iowa. I hoped I got there before Aaron arrived at headquarters. It was hard for me to imagine him angry, but I was sure it wouldn’t be pleasant to be on the other end of that conversation.“He’s scary when he’s mad,” Brandon said as we headed down the highway. “Because he’s still relatively calm. So the whole time he’s ‘yelling’ at you,” he did air quotes with one hand, not letting go of the wheel, thankfully, “you’re just waiting for him to lose it. It could happen at any moment.”“And does it?”&ldquo

Mom and Dad both greeted us at the door. “We thought you were never coming in,” she joked, hugging me and then Brandon. My dad hugged me and shook Brandon’s hand.“Sorry,” I said. “Aaron was asking us about something, and it’s always easier for me to do one thing at a time.”“Everything okay?” she asked.“I think so,” I shrugged, moving into the foyer. “It wasn’t something we could really help him with. But he did say that Brandon can stay here tonight and skip his training tomorrow since he did it today, if that’s all right with you.”“Of course he can stay,” my mom said, patting him on the arm. “That’s what guest rooms are for.”“Thanks,” Brandon said, flashing her that smile that so reminds me of his father. “Sure beats turning around and driving right back.”“Did you have a good time?

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,
