Chapter 239
Eastern State Penitentiary was enormous. Standing outside the massive stone wall and looking up made waves of despair wash over me as I tried to envision what it would be like to stand on this threshold as a prisoner, knowing the moment your feet crossed the boundary, you could be locked up here for years, maybe even die behind this block of stone and steel.
From the outside, I couldn’t even see the building itself, but I could imagine how immense the structure must be. I tried my best to take deep breaths and remember we needed to take this one step at a time. I’d wait until I was inside to worry about the darkness I could already feel emanating from the building, threatening to suck me in. I knew immediately that Gibbon was here and had no doubt he was pulled here by the blackness I felt tugging at the edges of my thoughts as well.
We’d parked several blocks away so that Gibbon wouldn’t be tipped off that we were nearby. I didn’t think t

I was relieved to see Jamie and Cale already in position. Jamie made me feel safe, and he smiled at me, though I could tell he was busy. My attention was pulled in another direction as Brandon tugged on my arm.“I gotta go get in position,” he said, leading me away from his dad a little bit.“Okay,” I replied, feeling butterflies in my stomach, mostly of the Vampire variety but also because I was looking into his green eyes.“Be careful,” he warned.“You, too.”He smiled at me and leaned down and kissed my cheek before he headed off toward his spoke. I watched him for as long as I could before I returned my focus on Elliott and Jamie who seemed to be involved in a conversation I wasn’t privy to.Jamie nodded while Elliott continued to talk to someone as he looked around, and then he nodded before turning to me. Elliott took me gently by the arms and loo

Something inside of Gibbon was calling out to me. It was as if he knew I was here, someone like him. And I wanted to answer. But I knew that Cadence would destroy me even more quickly than the Vampire if she knew I’d beckoned him, so I waited.The overwhelming feeling that darkness was descending upon us took over, and my eyes began to dart from one spoke to the next, searching the darkness in the distance for some sort of an indication as to where Gibbon might be, where he would approach us from. Flickers of shadows in the distance played with my eyesight, and I didn’t know if it was our team readjusting, a leaf casting shadows as it disrupted the moonlight straying through the windows, or something far worse.Gibbon was like a soulless void, a being that sucked energy and light from the world. In life, he’d been a serial killer, claiming innocent lives as the Jogging Path Killer, but he hadn’t started off that way. Steven Gibbon was once someo

Gibbon was beginning to sense that I was here. I wasn’t sure how I knew this, but it was a fact. He was starting to draw me into his mind, and I fought against it, trying to decide how best to help the team, which was quickly falling apart.I switched my IAC to Cale who got two shots off before Gibbon reached him. The Reno Area Leader dropped to the ground and rolled into a nearby cell as Gibbon’s beastly form rained down on him. Cale pushed the door closed with his boot and held it there, and I knew that Gibbon could easily have torn that door from its hinges if he wanted to, but the sound of other footsteps coming down the hall toward him drew his attention, and I began to sense fear in Gibbon. He wasn’t capable of understanding what was happening. He only knew he needed to get out if he was going to survive.My sister and Aaron would come into contact with the monster next. The human security guard hardly sensed their presence as they whooshed by h

I stepped away from Christian, hopping he hadn’t detected anything nefarious. He seemed a little embarrassed that I’d hugged him, so I crossed my arms and tried to seem nonchalant, stepping out of the way of his pacing. When he wasn’t paying attention to me again, I shifted and put my hand in my pocket quickly without him detecting what I was up to. I then refocused my attention on my sister.Cadence had her Glock in front of her and was walking slowly along a catwalk. A railing ran along her left side, a row of empty black cells to her right. On the other side of the railing was a steep drop into the blackness and the first story. Across from the abyss, I could see the same setup mirrored on the other side and assumed there would be a place down at the end of the narrow walkway where Cadence could turn around and come down the other side. If she made it that far.“Got anything?” Aaron asked Cadence. I doubted either of them were

I barely noticed what was happening in the observation circle as I continued to call out to Gibbon, but I did see Hannah and Morgan go flying through the air like rag dolls, crashing into display cases as Gibbon made his way through his opponents. I knew now he was coming to me. It was only a matter of time, and as much as the Hunters and Guardians in front of him wanted to slow his approach to the exit they assumed he was searching for, they wouldn’t be able to stop him.Brandon was out there now. His presence was my only reason for paying any attention at all to what Gibbon was actually doing as I continued my siren’s call. I realized my sister had somehow managed to will her way back to her feet and that she was following Aaron down the hallway. He had almost caught up with Gibbon, but neither of them would be able to stop the monster either.A flurry of motion caught my attention, and I switched to Brandon’s perspective, realizing too late I shoul

I watched as Aaron and Cadence followed along behind Gibbon out the front door and wondered if anyone else was still standing. I wanted to go check on Brandon but couldn’t get my feet moving right away.“Cass!” I heard him call my name with my ears, jarring me back to reality. There was lots of chatter on the IAC, injured people explaining to the Healers what needed fixed, others still speculating as to whether or not I had been on the verge of flipping. It was nice to know I had been so convincing. I pulled my eyes away from the hole where the front door had been and rushed out of the room to check on Brandon while still keeping track of Gibbon’s movement from Cadence’s IAC.“Are you okay?” I asked him, kneeling down next to him.“I’ve been better,” he replied, smiling up at me. “That might have been the second stupidest thing you’ve ever done.” I knew he meant coming to Philly the fi

My sister had a couple of broken ribs, and one had punctured her lung, just as I’d expected. Between the three Healers, they had just enough juice to put her back together. Everyone else had to wait a little while, but eventually, everyone got patched up, and the next day we headed back to Kansas City. That’s right—no stops in Shenandoah. I’d get my stuff later.I expected a long lecture from several people about how I had, once again, ignored direct orders and put myself in danger. But that’s not what happened. My sister, Aaron, Elliott, and Brandon all let me know that wasn’t the smartest thing I could’ve done but that they appreciated my efforts. Aaron suggested that next time I run it by Cadence, and while I knew that would’ve done me absolutely no good, I smiled sweetly and agreed.I think they were madder at Christian than me, and I knew I’d better start working on repairing that relationship as quickly as pos
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 247
Adults tend to think that teenagers are too impatient, that we want what we want when we want it, and that we just keep complaining until we get it. And I guess that’s true, for the most part. I mean, it had been for me anyway. I had wanted to be a Vampire Hunter so bad that I ended up doing the most dangerous thing possible and almost got myself killed in the process. That was four months ago, and even though I tried to go back to school and my normal life, with everything that had happened to me, I just couldn’t adjust. How could I keep going to high school with a bunch of kids who had no idea what they didn’t know? So… I found a way to get what I wanted. Only, now that I’m here at LIGHTS (Lincoln International Guardian and Hunter Training Station) I’m not really sure this is what I want either. Perhaps it’s because there is no one else like me in the world—not another Vampire Hunter/Vampire Hybrid. Or perhaps I am just one of those
