Chapter 285
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. Dax wa

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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 289
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

Boots in the hallway had my two sentinels readying their guns again. “It’s just me!” Cadence shouted, looking at them like they were a bit too jumpy. I couldn’t blame them, though. Especially Dax. This was his first day, after all, and it had been the craziest one on record.Cadence took in the scene, and now that my eyes were open, I traced the room with her. Jamie had made a lot of progress on Tara’s wound, but he was fading fast. Faye appeared to be a corpse.Even with all of the work Jamie had done, Tara still looked bad. Cadence asked, “How is she alive?”“I have no idea,” Jamie said, his voice so quiet it was hard to hear him. “I honestly don’t think she will be much longer if we don’t do something really quick.”I hoped he had an idea what “something” might be. Tara didn’t deserve to die like this. She was so excited, so full of life. It just wasn’

We arrived at the front desk, and the pile of ashes near the rolling chair caught my attention. That had been a very sweet woman who would’ve done anything to help anyone in need a few hours ago. Now, it was something a Guardian would sweep up later, and Lena would exist only in the memories of those of us who had known her and appreciated her. I pushed aside the guilt I felt and had a seat in her chair.I wiggled the mouse, and the screen came alive as Dax picked up the receiver on the phone next to me. He hammered the numbers with his shaking hand, messed up, hung up, swore under his breath, tried again. The second time was just as unsuccessful, so I reached out and grabbed his hand to steady him and dialed for him. “It’s okay.” I caught his eyes and he nodded, but I could tell he didn’t believe me.He thanked me, and when Aurora picked up on the first or second ring, he repeated Jamie’s message word for word. I turned my back to h

Dax sounded a bit uncomfortable, like he wasn’t sure what to make of Brandon when he asked, “Who is that guy?”For some reason, it was hard for me to answer that question, and it didn’t just have to do with the fact that Brandon and I still hadn’t talked about what had happened the night before. Dax and I had been through a traumatic experience together, and while nothing remotely romantic had happened, I felt like I’d been lying to him by not telling him I was taken. But the simple answer was the only one I had to offer at the moment, so I said, “He’s, uh, my boyfriend.”“Oh.” I wasn’t sure if he was disappointed or just surprised. He didn’t say anything else, and I continued to wait on the bar to reach the one-hundred-percent mark, but it was taking forever.Eventually, when it got to about eighty-five, a message popped up. “Alarm check complete. Error detected.”&
