Chapter 265

2021-02-23 11:29:21There was a chair directly in front of the frail Vampire woman. I figured the Guardians had put that there for me. The quarters were so cramped, I had to straddle her boots to sit down, but she didn’t budge, only watched me sit across from her.
I realized now that I’d seen the same visions again, all in a rush, when she’d contacted me in the tree. Sitting there across from her now, more images flashed into my mind. I saw more of her Resurrection, the life she’d lived since that night so long ago, and then I caught flickers of the destruction she was certain was to come. I saw the portal, saw a shape exiting into a sandy desert landscape, but I couldn’t tell who or what it was. I took a deep breath and tried to relax, waiting for Mina to speak as I fought to put the images out of the forefront of my mind. I wondered still what she could see when she reached into my head.
“You are pretty, beautiful, just like her,” Mina said. She

A smile flickered across Mina’s face as she considered my question. A glimpse at her teeth had me running my tongue across mine. Neither of us had fangs just now. “Heavens, no.” Mina shattered my hopes of finding someone with similar problems, but whatever it was I could do for her daughter, I would still do it. She continued, and I hung on every word. “That was a long time ago. She’s long past, that one. Beautiful girl, though.”My confusion grew with her explanation. “You knew someone who was half Vampire, half Hunter?” What really caught my attention was the fact that this person had died. What had killed her? I leaned forward toward Mina, and she shifted her weight, too, which had me leaning back. I wasn’t afraid of her. I knew she wouldn’t hurt me even if she could. This wasn’t a trap—she legitimately wanted me to help her daughter. When she nodded in response to my last question, I asked, “Whe

I had no idea how Mina was related to the child, whether she’d turned her or found her and took her in, but I could only assume she was speaking of the old woman on the sofa. Before I could stop her, the little girl sprang out of the box and ran to Mina. She was faster than any creature I’d ever seen, and for a moment it alarmed me.But she buried her head in her mother’s lap, the tearless crying continued, and Mina, who couldn’t even reach out and wrap her arms around her child one last time said quietly, “It’s all right, Bonnie. Cassidy will take care of you now, child.”I didn’t even know how Mina knew my name, though I supposed she’d found it in my mind. I felt compelled that her words would be true. I would take care of the child, though I had no idea how or what that would mean.Bonnie was having nothing to do with it, though. “No, Mama!” she shrieked. It was as if she knew what was about to

Aurora drove us back to campus. I didn’t know when she’d gotten the keys from Elliott, and I didn’t care. Bonnie quivered in my arms the entire time it took to get back, and I tried not to cry right along with her. No one said a word aloud, and I didn’t see the telltale flicker of eye movements that would’ve let me know that the other women in the SUV were talking on their IACs either, though I suppose it was possible. We were all trying to sort out what had just happened. I knew none of them had been affected as profoundly as I had been, but I had a feeling nothing like this had ever happened before.I had a Vampire child in my arms, and at the moment, she was the only person in the world I cared about. I didn’t have any idea what I was going to do with her, though. It wasn’t as if I could just take her back to Cadence’s apartment with me. At sixteen, I hadn’t even considered being a mother. And she wasn’t exactly a

The drive meandered around a little bit, but Aurora seemed to know where she was going. She finally stopped by what I assumed was an intake door. There were two Guardians there, one a short woman with a scowl on her face and the other a man, which I knew would scare Bonnie.My sister turned to look at me, and I decided to play nice. I wasn’t handing this baby over for anything, but I asked, “Can I go?” and was relieved when my sister said, “Of course.”Bonnie sat up now, and her voice was timid as she asked, “Where are we going?”Her face wasn’t streaked by tears since Vampires can’t make them. I smoothed her hair. I knew she was scared. This was a lot of change for such a small person.Cadence answered her. “We are going to a place where there are more people like you,” she said, her voice infused with fake joy.Bonnie immediately caught a glimpse of the Guardian at the door, the ma

“Where does—” Cadence started to ask about where the blood Bonnie had just drank from a pouch came from, but Faye interrupted her.“Donations,” she explained. “We encourage the humans who work at headquarters to donate. We also purchase blood that is about to go bad from blood banks.”“Fascinating,” Cadence mumbled as Bonnie handed me her empty container and went back to the toys. I saw a trash can and crossed the room to toss it in. “So what happens now?” I asked, glad to see Bonnie playing. She seemed like a carefree child again, at least for a few minutes, but the chill of watching her mother die was still in the forefront of my mind.“We will keep her in here for as long as she wants to play, and then, when she gets tired, we’ll take her to a room. In the morning, we’ll look at a permanent arrangement for her. As you know, we have Compliants that we work with on a regular bas

Faye pulled a pink gown out of the closet across the room, and then a light green one. Bonnie’s eyes twinkled as she looked at them.“You wanna come see?” Lena asked her, standing.“Yeah!” Bonnie had her hands in her mouth, but she was still smiling as Bonnie offered her lots of snacks when they got to her house.The little girl had both baby dolls under her arm as she took Lena’s outstretched hand and followed her across the room to Faye who handed Lena the dresses and some other clothes.The door opened, and Bonnie made it a step or two into the hallway before she turned and looked at me. I was watching her go, with a smile on my face, glad she’d have a new mama who would no doubt love her to death, but when she turned back to look at me, my heart broke a little bit. She had been mine, for a few moments. For a little while, I’d known what it was to love a child with all of my heart, and I didn’t thin

The SUV remained quiet as we made our way across campus. I climbed into the middle seat next to Ashley and she reached over and put her arm around me, which was comforting, but I still wasn’t looking forward to this meeting. I decided I would just sit there and get through it and only open my mouth if I was asked a direct question.Aurora pulled the SUV to a stop at the curb, and I knew I had to get out because no one else in the back could move until I did so. I sucked in a deep breath and reached for the handle. Cadence waited for me on the sidewalk and patted me on the shoulder. I don’t think she realized exactly how I was feeling. I’m sure she thought I was upset about Bonnie and that I was tired, but beyond that, I don’t think she knew how I felt betrayed by my own team and angry at virtually everyone sitting in that room waiting on us.I walked in and noted the scent of coffee in the air, which made sense because everyone was tired, even t

I was glad Jamie was the one to explain all of that to us. He really seemed to know what he was talking about, and he wasn’t at all braggadocios.The quiet confidence ended as soon as Christian opened his mouth. Shane asked if they’d encountered any other sort of monsters we needed to know about when they were in Wallachia, and Christian said, “Sirens.”“You mean like Eliza?” Elliott asked, sitting up straight in his chair. Eliza was kicked off of the KC team before I joined it, but she was the one on the bridge in Philly who was ready to shoot Giovani even though he threatened to kill me if she didn’t put her weapon down. I couldn’t imagine encountering anyone as heartless as her, even in the form of a Vampire. But I also wasn’t quite sure what Elliott was getting at. I knew what a siren was from mythology. Is that what Eliza was?Christian’s voice sounded a bit haunted, though just as confident and co

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,
