Chapter 279
It was Jamie’s turn to sigh. It was as if he knew he wasn’t going to want to answer me, no matter what my “one more thing” was. “What?”
“Why don’t you have a girlfriend now? Or a wife or something? I mean—you’re a great guy. And don’t tell me you’re too busy either. If Aaron has time for a woman in his life no one on earth can claim to be too busy.”
He studied me for a long moment, and I imagined he was trying to come up with another excuse. Eventually, he exhaled and said, “I don’t know, Cass. I guess I’m just not ready yet. I know that sounds—to use your word from earlier—stupid. But when you love someone the way that I loved Ellie, you don’t just get back on the horse. I’ve dated a few girls, but nothing ever stuck.”
I could appreciate that. I nodded. “Well, I hope you meet someone soon. Maybe in the next decade or two.” I

Before I came completely conscious, I had a little trouble remembering where I was or what had happened. For a moment, I thought when I opened my eyes, I should be back in my bedroom in Shenandoah. I was hopeful it was Saturday and I didn’t have to go to school, and that my alarm wasn’t about to go off. But while my eyes were still closed, it all came back to me, and I took an inventory to make sure I was okay. My arm felt normal, like nothing had happened to it at all, which was a relief. I knew I could trust Jamie, but in that sort of situation, you just never know what to expect.Like how I wasn’t expecting to see Brandon standing next to me when I finally did open my eyes. I was confused again, and I blinked several times, staring at him, wondering why he was there.“Hey, there,” he said quietly, a smile on his face. I could tell he was relieved I was awake.I hadn’t forgotten that I was angry with him or why, but I certai

I had just about dozed off when I heard a knock on the apartment door and decided I needed to investigate. Part of me hoped it was Brandon because I missed him and just wanted to get the conversation over with, but when I saw it was Elliott, I was relieved. I let him in and fell into one of his bear hugs before he even said anything.It was all I could do not to cry. Not just about Brandon, but about everything. I knew he would listen to all of it and probably even have some wisdom to impart about most of it, but I still didn’t feel right talking to him about his own son, so I fought back my tears and let him think that the hug was necessary because of the procedure. At least that’s what I told myself. I’m sure he could probably see past that if he wanted to, but he seemed just fine holding me for as long as I needed him to, like any good big brother would, and I think it had to have been at least five minutes with me in his arms and the pair of us just stan

We were almost to the gym, and I was hopeful Dax and I wouldn’t be late after all, even though I’d left my apartment later than usual. I still needed to change into my workout clothes, though. I didn’t think that should take too long.“How long have you been here?” Dax asked, a step behind me now.“Well, it’s a little different for me.” I checked both ways before darting across the street that runs in front of the gym. “Cadence is my sister. So I started coming before I Transformed. But I started my training program in November.” A glance at his face told me he was lost. I don’t think he even knew who Cadence was. But I didn’t have time to explain at the moment.“Cool. Do you like it?”We were right in front of the gym now, but I couldn’t easily answer that question. So I stopped and turned to look at him. “Honestly,” I began, letting my feelings from the

I looked around and saw Dax hanging out in the back of a group of boys, behind Antonio and another guy named Kip. Maybe he thought he could just blend in, but Aurora hadn’t even finished with her greeting when she said, “Oh, yeah, and some of you may have noticed we have a new member.” Her smile was friendly, but when I looked at him, I could tell he was intimidated. He ran his hand across his cheek and then down his chin, like he was searching for something that wasn’t there. “You guys, this is Dax. He’s a Guardian. Please welcome him, help him out, and don’t be a bunch of punks. It’s hard melting into a group that’s already established.”Everyone smiled in his direction, and I’m pretty sure I saw Addy actually lick her lips. Poor Dax. He was the best looking guy here since Brandon… wasn’t. He was going to have even more attention because of that than the fact that he was new.Aurora sent u

I closed my mouth and looked around. A few other people were staring at me wide-eyed, but for the most part, no one had noticed my hissing at Shane somehow, except for the trainer himself. Luckily, Addy and Gabbi were still licking their own wounds over having gotten yelled at by Shane, and they hadn’t seen what I’d done.Shane was mortified, though. He stammered his way through the rest of his little speech and sent us to the locker room. As soon as I could, I turned to Dax and said, “Sorry. I don’t… that’s never happened before.”“No, it’s fine,” he assured me, but he didn’t get any closer. I could tell he thought maybe he could, but he’d only seen one other Vampire before, and I was under the impression that situation was not pleasant. I couldn’t blame him for doubting he could trust me. “Are you all right? You looked upset.”To put it mildly… “I’ll b

I intended to hurry off toward the tracking building, but once I stepped outside, I noticed a streetlight flickering. It shouldn’t have been a big deal, but I stood beneath it for a moment, transfixed by the way the light glinted off and on. For a moment, it reminded me of one of those old horror films where everything is a little jilted and the frames don’t quite advance correctly. I’d had the same sensation when I was talking to Mina the other night. It made me ponder what my role would be if I was in a movie like that. Would I be the damsel in distress, the hero who sweeps in to save everyone, or would I be the creature lurking in the shadows?I needed to remind Juan Diego to fix the stupid thing.Taking a few steps down the sidewalk to the tracking station, I tried to blend in with the shadows, but I heard Tara say my name, and as I turned around, holding my breath, she asked “Where are you going?”She wasn’t alone.

Tara was so happy she did not stop talking the entire time we were walking. The tagging center is the most distant building from all the others on campus for obvious reasons, and even though we can move super fast and the place isn’t that big, it still took a couple of minutes to get there. I’m not sure she paused to even take a breath the whole while.Eventually, we reached the front gates; not the one Cadence and I had gone through the night before, but the ones I remembered from the tour I’d taken a month or so ago. Strangely, there was no one there. Not a single Guardian. I thought that was really odd, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. That should’ve been enough for me to realize there was something going on. I should’ve left right then, gone for help. But I knew the Leaders were in an important meeting. So were the other people I’d go to for help, and I was concerned about Bonnie. So I decided to try to open the gate with

Hesitation made me stay put for a second, but just as I had decided perhaps I should chase them down, another scream echoed down the hall. I was close to the source and decided I needed to go that way instead.Having had no luck with any of the adults I thought might be able to help me, I reached out to Brandon. His voice filled my thoughts immediately. He sounded worried, but not in the same sense that I was. “What’s up? Are you back from training?” he asked.“Look, I don’t have time to explain, but I need you to go get my sister, now, and tell her to take my IAC call.”“What’s going on?”I sprinted down the hall, wishing he’d just do it. “Go. Now!”“Give me visuals, Cass. Where are you?”“Go!”“I am.”I couldn’t see him, but I got the impression he was
