Chapter 405
Shane’s office was junked, too, but he didn’t have a say in whether or not we were going in. And it was empty. I tried not to question why Aurora’s wasn’t as I had a seat next to Aaron in two chairs on the side of the desk closest to the hallway. At least he wasn’t sitting across Shane’s cluttered desk from me. Then I would really feel like I was in trouble.
The odor of decaying gym socks did not deter him as he took a moment, and turning his chair toward me, asked quietly, “Do you want to tell me what’s really going on, or do you want me to guess?”
The old me would’ve just politely told the truth and asked for forgiveness. I am not the old me. I’m not sure what happened to her, but I think she disappeared even before I boarded that train to Philly. “I’m not sure,” I began. “But I’m guessing there’s something in Aurora’s office she doesn’t want us to see. M

My mom and dad were sitting on the couch when Aaron and I walked in, and my sister was there, too, in a chair, leaving the smaller loveseat for Aaron and I, which was really awkward. I felt like Cadence should’ve gotten up and switched with me, but then I also thought if my mom tried to kill me, maybe he’d protect me. Not that I couldn’t save myself, but I wouldn’t want to be the one to try to restrain my own mother from beating me upside the head.We all stared at each other for a long time, and I knew that Aaron wanted me to start, but I wasn’t ready for that, so I just sat there, even after he literally nudged me with his shoe. We were having a stare down, and I wasn’t going to be the first to shout chicken.So my mom finally said, “Cassidy, what is this all about? Your father left work to be here. Do you want to explain?”No, not really. Another nudge. “Uh, well, Mom, you know, ever since I moved

“I think what we all need to do here,” my dad began, drawing all of our eyes, “is take a few moments to reflect on the facts. Whenever something isn’t going as expected at work, we have to take a step back and look at the situation. Now, the facts are that while Cassidy was living here, in this small space, the two of you were constantly fighting, at each other’s throats over everything.” My mom opened her mouth like she was going to protest, but Dad actually stopped her with a gesture. “And I didn’t like seeing either one of you that way. It was miserable. For all of us.” He looked at my mom intently until she nodded. “Now, she’s not far away, just upstairs, and she seems to be handling herself just fine. While I would’ve appreciated a consultation before this took place, I am glad to hear that you’re happy, Cass. And it’s certainly been much more peaceful here. Your mom has even gone out a few even

“I cannot believe you pulled this off!” Brandon was saying as we sat on the sofa in his apartment, a pizza on the coffee table in front of us. If you really are what you eat, then I’m dating a slice of pepperoni with extra cheese.“Me neither,” I admitted, dusting my hands off on a napkin. The TV was on, but we weren’t really watching it. The fact that it was almost 7:00 in the evening and I wasn’t counting the minutes until I had to rush back downstairs before curfew was very freeing. Also, we had a lot to talk about. “Hannah will be checking on me every night, though. I’m not sure if she’ll actually come over or just request visuals so she can make sure I’m home.”“Well, that’s no big deal. You’ve been making it back by 11:00 every evening anyhow.”“True.” I didn’t think that was going to be a problem, but I know Hannah pretty well, and it did make

Brandon and I settled back into the couch, and he ate another slice of pizza while we stared blankly at the television set. Part of me wished Elliott would just come home right now so we could ask him. But that would be too easy.The sitcom we were watching ended, and another episode started, but before the theme song even finished, Brandon said, “I mean... I don’t think my dad really wants to date anyone right now. He hasn’t dated anyone seriously at all since my mom, you know?”“Right,” I said. As far as I knew, Elliott hadn’t dated recently. “I think he used to date a lot when he was younger, though. Is it possible he just wanted to try it out again?” I remembered a few conversations I’d overheard about Elliott being quite the lady’s man when he was younger, like in his forties and fifties. That’s young when you’re as old as he is.Brandon was already shaking his head before I finis

“Where were you just now?” Brandon asked his dad. It came out a little more accusatory than it probably should have, and I sucked in a breath, hoping Elliott didn’t get defensive as he sometimes did when he thought he shouldn’t have to explain himself to a teenager.“What’s that?” Elliott was stalling, not because he didn’t want to tell us but because he wanted Brandon to try again. He never had any trouble just telling us to mind our own business.“I asked what you were up to, and you said you were at the office earlier. Where did you just come from? Just now?”Elliott’s green eyes went from his son to me and then back again. He was probably hoping I’d help him out, give him a clue, but I wasn’t sure what to say, so I didn’t say anything at all. “I was with a friend.”It was the most direct response Brandon has ever gotten to that question. I knew he’d b

The summer went by pretty quickly. Elliott was a lot more open with Brandon about when he was seeing Aurora and when he was just doing whatever other kind of stuff a guy like Elliott has to do, and eventually Brandon came around to the idea that his dad was seeing someone, though I’m pretty sure he never gave up hope that his dad might start wooing his mother again. I had no idea if Amanda would be any more open to the idea of dating a Guardian now than she was all those years ago, but I wasn’t going to be the one to squash Brandon’s dream, so I just tried to stay supportive.Not a lot of hunts were happening because we’d taken out so much of the Vampire population, and I still couldn’t get a handle on Holland’s location, no matter how hard I tried. So we sat around a lot. Any time there was any sort of a hunt at all going on in the four-state area, we were all volunteering and fighting each other to get to go, but those were few and far be

I’d been working on my math before Aaron arrived, but snooping around in Vampires’ brains seemed like more fun, so I left my work on the coffee table and got comfortable on the couch. I used to have to go on a rooftop at night to have good transmission, but now I can contact whomever I’m looking for from most anywhere—so long as there’s no stupid shield in the way. I closed my eyes, and a moment later, I was in Mika Ito’s head.She knew I was there immediately, which was a little odd. Most of the time, it takes them a second to start to sense that maybe they’re not alone. She didn’t try to push me out, though, only seemed a little freaked out, like she didn’t know what to think about. I giggled as I went about prodding, poking through her memories, looking for anything questionable, anything that might lead me to Hines or Holland.I saw how she’d been turned. It really was an innocent scratch in a nightclub. S

My sister was so not happy about the Eidolon Festival. She was already beginning to panic a little bit about the wedding, and then, when she found out Aaron was going to be leaving a few days before it, she became this giant ball of nerves that just couldn’t seem to get a grip on anything. I felt sort of sorry for her, but every time I asked her if she needed any help with anything, she just said she had it under control.I was elated when Aaron decided that I could travel with the team to West Virginia, even though he’d given me a big fat no on actually attending the festival itself. I get it—I’m more Hunter than Vampire, and I can’t just choose when I want to be whichever one suits my purpose. At least I was going to be able to go on the trip. That was much better than staying back in Shenandoah watching my mom try to make Cadence look like she was calm.It was great to be able to see my other best friend, Emma, for a few days while we w
