Chapter 250
“Are you all right, Cassidy?” Tara asked, and I realized I’d slipped off again. “Sometimes you get this look in your eyes, like you’re not really here.”
“I’m sorry. It’s just—Jamie was the one who saved me, you know. I was thinking about that.”
“Right,” Tara said, but I don’t think she quite got it, and I wasn’t exactly sure what she knew and what she didn’t. I definitely didn’t want to talk about it.
“Well, I know why I’d want to stay here,” Mika was saying as she got dressed. “And it’s nothing to do with that doctor man.”
I cocked my head to the side and looked up at her as her damp, curly hair sprung out of the top of her T-shirt. “What is it, then?”
“Yeah, why do you want to stay here?” Tara asked, her forehead as crinkled as mine.
“Seriously?” she asked in her thick

The apartment was quiet when I got there, which always makes me happy. Cadence and Aaron have an office on campus a few blocks away, but sometimes Cadence likes to work from here. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s afraid she’ll drive Aaron crazy with her disorganization, or if he drives her crazy telling her not to put her feet on the desk or to quit bouncing her knee, but whoever thought it was a good idea to put them in the same room, even if it’s a big one, probably didn’t think it through. So a lot of times, when I get back from training, she’s here. Luckily, this was not one of those days.I dropped my gym bag on the floor inside my room. (I learned a long time ago you never drop your bag by the door if you don’t want to have it flung at your head in the middle of the night by a Guardian who doesn’t sleep much and keeps a pretty tidy ship.) My stomach was growling, but I decided to call Brandon on the IAC and let him

I decided to change the subject. “Did your dad leave this morning?” I asked Brandon.“Uh, about an hour ago, I think,” he said, now looking uncomfortable himself. I know he didn’t want his dad to go talk to his mom, but I had a feeling things would turn out for the better because of it. “I’m not sure what he’s going to do all day since my mom won’t be home until 5:30 or so, depending upon the line at the liquor store, but I’m sure he’ll figure something out.”He’d just slipped that shot at his mom in there. I couldn’t blame him for it, though. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to notice it or not, so I didn’t go back to it. “Knowing Elliott, he’ll stop at a few truck stops along the way.” We both chuckled because Elliott has always been an eater, but ever since he came back from the dead, he seemed to be eating for two or three people. It was unbelievable.

I walked into the dining room to find Brandon lighting a candle, two plates of chicken and pasta ready to eat, with cloth napkins and the good silverware. “Would you like your pop in the can or on ice, my lady?” he asked, taking the stance of a waiter with his arm out in front of him.Laughter pealed out of my mouth before I could even thank him for going to so much trouble. “You really didn’t have to do all of this,” I said, shaking my head.“My pleasure, my lady,” he replied in some odd British-ish sounding accent. Then he cleared his throat and said, “Can or ice?”“Oh, the can’s fine,” I replied, taking a seat. I spread the napkin over my lap and waited for him to return before digging in. I really was starving. The pasta was a little overcooked for my liking, but other than that, it was great. I remembered the first time he’d cooked for me, for my whole family actually, when he and

I hadn’t really tried reaching out to the Vampires using my telepathy much lately, not since I’d spent so much time in Gibbon’s demented head, but every time I did it, I got better at it, and it didn’t seem like they even knew I was there most of the time. Not unless I wanted them to. “Okay,” I said to my sister again, this time a little more quietly. “What do you want me to find out from the Vampires exactly?”“Most of all, what’s going on. Where are they headed, why are they acting so strangely all of a sudden,” Cadence said, speaking slowly like she was contemplating whether or not she’d covered everything.“They are Vampires. They always act strangely,” Brandon remarked and then looked at me to see if I was offended. I was feeling more Hunter than Vampire at the time so I didn’t say anything.“Fine,” I said, nodding.“Great.” Cadence let o
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 255
I’m not sure if a few stories make a huge difference when you’re trying to reach out into the universe with your mind, but I wanted to be as close to the cosmos as possible, and Brandon was kind enough to humor me. Rather than going up to the roof of our perfectly good building, he accompanied me across the street to the slightly taller trainee building, and we took the elevator up to the top and then, with the help of Juan Diego, the lead custodian who is very fond of both of us (but terrified of Elliott), we were able to access the roof through a door normally kept locked so that the trainees didn’t go up there and mess around. I wasn’t sure what difference it made until I got up there and saw there were a lot of mechanical components housed there and decided it made sense to just keep the door locked. He trusted us, though, despite Brandon looking so much like his dad, and when Brandon moved one of the large wicker chairs from the tenth-floor balcony hango
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 256
I realized almost instantly that this Vampire was the woman whose memories I had just seen flickering across my mind like a movie, only I wasn’t just watching, I was immersed in them. And now, I was sitting with her beside a roaring campfire as others the same as her laughed, told stories, drank, and made merry.With a deep breath and an air of caution, I replied, still trying to figure out where we were. “A friend,” I said, hoping she’d believe me. If I could see into her mind, understand her past so quickly, could she do the same? I pinned the image of Zabrina, her jaw opening wide, in my mind’s eye, hoping this other woman would be able to see only that I had been turned and avoid the rest of the details, like the Guardian standing nearby with the Transformation serum who’d saved my life, who’d made me anything but a friend to these people.She seemed to accept me, though, and I got the impression that while this wa
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 257
My sister and Aaron were back in the apartment by the time Brandon and I got there. It was odd that Aaron was home since he was almost always in his office when something like this was happening, and the fact that he was pacing around the living room made me think he would be leaving again as soon as I told them what I’d discovered.“Well?” Cadence asked, as soon as I was fully in the room.“Hello to you, too,” Brandon remarked smugly, not letting go of my hand.With a humph, my sister said, “Hi, Cassidy! Hi, Brandon! How are you today? Cold enough for you out there? Now, what the crap did you find out?” The first part was delivered in an overly syrupy voice like one might use if they worked in customer service. The last part just sounded downright mean.“Well, that was rude,” Brandon murmured, crossing the room to sit in a recliner nowhere near where my sister sat on the couch. I waited for Aaron to s
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 258
Aaron was quiet for so long part of me just wanted to get up and shout, “Hey! Can I go now?” But I waited patiently like a student in class who has heard the bell ring but knows it’s not the bell that dismisses this class; it’s the teacher.“Okay,” he finally said. And then he was on his feet. “I’m going back to the office.”“For what?” Cadence asked, and I knew I was dismissed. I looked at Brandon, and we both sort of looked at my room, like maybe we could melt and flow across the floor out of this conversation undetected.“I need to look at the maps again,” Aaron said to my sister who had crossed the room and was standing next to him at the door.“You’ve been looking at them all day.”I think sometimes Cadence doesn’t understand how her fiancé’s brain works. Not that I do, but the fact that he is constantly working, and she isn&rsquo
