Chapter 282

2021-02-23 12:03:48We 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

Bonnie, the same little girl I had gathered in my arms and rescued from the “bad men” the night before, the child who had clung to me, crying, calling for her mother, stood in a pool of blood near Faye, the same pink gown the doctor had gotten out of the closet for her to take home with her splattered in crimson. In fact, there was so much of the substance, the little girl was covered in it. It ran down her chin, off of her fingers, out of her hair. She was just shoving one of those chubby little digits into her mouth when she saw me. Her face lit up with a wide smile that showed perfectly normal teeth.I could see that Faye was breathing, just like the other Guardians we’d seen in the hallway, but she looked worse than any of them. As I took a step forward, I signaled for Tara to stay behind me, and Dax stepped between us, but part of me wanted to trust Bonnie, to believe she wouldn’t hurt friends of mine. I still couldn’t quite grasp what role

This whole time, I’d been letting this child and her “mother” convince me that my teammates, the same ones who were likely sprinting to our rescue right now were “bad” when the Vampires had been the enemy all along, just as they had always been.I’d even let them jeopardize my relationship with Brandon.There was no time for me to feel sorry for myself or regret my decision at that moment. I had to do whatever it took to make sure Tara wouldn’t get hurt again. I followed my instincts then, and with all of the strength I had left, I blocked the pictures in my mind and brought my knee down hard on Bonnie’s leg, securing it to the ground. I pulled the Glock from my waistband and positioned it directly over her heart.The child stopped her picture show and went wild, screaming, “Mama! Mama! No! No! No! Please!” She was doing her best to look human now, to try to play on my sympathy. “You promised! You

I could tell Dax had moved her a little bit, maybe to get her out of view of the hallway, in case Bonnie came back. I sat down next to her and inspected her wounds. It was bad—to say the least. I looked around and saw some towels folded on a shelf and grabbed one. I held it against her neck and shoulder. She was losing blood quickly and had already lost so much. If Jamie didn’t get here soon, there was no way she was going to make it.“What happened?” Brandon asked.“Bonnie,” I replied, not able to explain everything, not really wanting to think about it. In the back of my mind, all I could think was this was all my fault. If Tara didn’t make it, her death would be due to my ignorance.“How did she….”I didn’t want to talk to him right now. “Why don’t you go over there with Dax? Make sure she doesn’t come back? And can you reload my Glock?”He nodded, picking

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,
