2021-02-23 11:32:20The 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

I’m sure my statement that I knew where the Vampires were but just needed to remember made no sense to most of them, and I heard Shane snicker and start to laugh, which made me form my hands into fists, but Elliott reached out and rested his hand on my shoulder and calmly asked, “Cass, what do you mean?”“I mean—I saw them. I saw both of them. There are two. Mina said she also saw it. You all heard, didn’t you?” I looked around, wondering why it was so hard for them to understand what she’d been talking about when they were all listening in on the same conversation I was referring to. “She also said I already know everything. I just have to find it. So… let me figure it out.”“And how long will that take?” Shane asked. I couldn’t see him, but I could tell his voice was riddled with sarcasm, and I could imagine he had that smirk on his face. Then he added a phrase that almost lit the wh

“Why do you think it’s an awful idea, Cadence?” I asked, cocking my head to the side as I studied my sister. I didn’t understand why she wouldn’t let Jamie and Christian take tissue samples to try and determine what could kill me. I was tired, and the last thing I wanted was to argue with my sister in front of all of these people, but she was being ridiculous “He just said it wouldn’t hurt me.”“It’s not the tissue samples or the experiments I’m afraid of. It’s what it would lead to,” she explained. “Once we think we know what can kill you, what then? We put you in dangerous situations because we think we know what can make you die? What if we’re wrong?”I opened my mouth to tell her that was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard in my whole life, but luckily before I had the chance, Christian said, “We wouldn’t put her in any dangerous situations for no reaso

Nothing like that had ever happened to me before, and I wasn’t sure where the power even came from. Intending to just pound my fist on the table as I had a million times, as my sister had a few minutes ago, I dropped my right hand onto the table as I shouted, “Let me!” Only I didn’t just hit the table. I splintered it. A perfect circle of wood dropped through a jagged hole and landed near my boot.I couldn’t believe what had just happened. I could see the whole table breaking in half perhaps. But this was different. It was controlled madness. I stared at my own hand like I’d never seen it before as I muttered to myself, “What…?” I couldn’t finish the question because I didn’t even know what to think.The rest of the occupants of the room were staring at me wide-eyed, and I couldn’t blame them. It always stuns me when they see something that shocks them because of all the crazy things they’ve

There was nothing remotely good about that night, not for me anyway. I lay awake in my bed staring at the ceiling for hours, until the sun was completely up, and I thought I should go ahead and start getting ready for training. But around 7:00, Aurora messaged all of us that she’d postponed training until the afternoon since everyone was still exhausted. And most of the Guardians were still up looking at Xs and pondering anomalies.I tucked my arm under my chin and tried to go to sleep, but I kept thinking about Mina and Bonnie. That poor little girl was over there across campus now, missing her mother. I hoped Mina was somewhere in a better place, but I had no idea how that worked for Vampires, and my weary mind couldn’t make sense of religion for the undead.At 8:00, I hauled myself out of bed. I might’ve dozed off for a few minutes, but I’d basically gotten no sleep. I had some schoolwork to do that I thought I could manage on a cup of coffee

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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 553
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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 547
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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 546
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,
