2021-02-23 12:05:00Tara 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

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.”&

A stronger voice began to overpower the others that I was hearing in my head, and I realized it was calling to me. The female voice seemed familiar in a way I couldn’t quite understand, and as her melodic voice filled my mind, I realized she was saying words I’d heard before, something that had been echoing in Mina’s mind. “Born of the desert,” she said, and I didn’t know if she meant me, herself, or whatever it was that the Vampires had been trying to put together. And then, as if making an announcement to everyone, this same feminine voice said, “Come together soon.” Suddenly, I realized there was a link between the voice in my head and Mina’s words earlier about the Vampires moving. They were being called by whoever this woman was. She had to have come through the portal.“Okay!” Dax startled me back to reality, and I opened my eyes, turning to see him flying up behind me. “It was rea

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.

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,
