Chapter 409
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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 411
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

The plane descended in the West Virginia sky, and I prepared to get off, trying to assure myself that the feeling in the pit of my stomach was just anxiety. I hadn’t been on too many hunts away from home. Maybe I was just nervous. Or maybe it was the wedding. I was the maid of honor after all. There was just a lot going on, so I could explain away my emotions by telling myself it was something else. But the fact that I didn’t know where Holland was and hadn’t for months was a huge concern to me. At least her airplanes hadn’t moved.We piled into twin black SUVs and headed to the bed and breakfast my mom had picked out for the team. It was nice to stay in a house instead of a hotel. The Queen Anne was one of the only places in town large enough for all of us, and my mom had made the owner an offer she couldn’t refuse to cancel her existing reservations and accommodate all of us instead. That way, we were also assured there wouldn’t be anyone

We had our meeting in a library upstairs, which was way cooler than either of the conference rooms we had back in KC. We were all sitting on plush, velvet couches, rather than hard wooden chairs. It smelled like old books and fresh flowers, and I might’ve actually fallen asleep on Brandon’s shoulder if I wasn’t so worried about whatever it was going on in my gut. Not that the meeting was boring or anything; it was just most of it didn’t really pertain to me because I wouldn’t be going along.From what I ascertained, Eidolon Festivals are pretty simple to work. You just stand around for the most part. If you see a Vampire doing something you think is sketchy, then you calmly approach and investigate the situation. Don’t assume any harm was intended until you find out for sure. That’s basically it. The thing would start at 2:00 and last until sunrise, so it wasn’t even that long. The Guardians would be headed out around 1:00 just

As difficult as it was, I didn’t bother to try to talk Brandon out of going to the Eidolon Festival. I was just being silly, thinking something might happen, and I needed to let it go.He got his weapons together, and I couldn’t help thinking how cool he looked with his leather jacket on, checking his Glocks and sliding them into their holsters. What high school girl wouldn’t want to date someone who looks like a secret agent? Just to be even, I holstered my own Glock, which I’d set down on his dresser earlier in the afternoon. I didn’t need it for anything, but it didn’t hurt to have it on, and I thought he might feel better knowing I was armed in case something went wrong.I walked downstairs with the Guardians and Ashley. I looked around for my sister but she wasn’t there. Aaron caught me and said, “She’s asleep.”“Oh.” It was too bad that she wasn’t going to be there to tell them g

Cadence was still asleep, but she was tossing and turning a little, so I thought maybe she’d wake up soon. It seemed like forever since she’d gone to sleep from what I could tell. I wanted her to wake up so I could confess that I wasn’t feeling good about this whole situation. I knew I could just shake her, and she’d wake up in a second, but that seemed rude. So I sat on the foot of the bed and stared out the window at the moon. I decided to do one more round of recon to see if any of the Vampires around us knew anything fishy about the blood moon, but that wasn’t helping. I was even using the IACs as a tool to access new minds. All any of the Vampires at the festival seemed to care about was having a good time.My sister finally sat up at about 2:15. I glanced at her only long enough to make sure she was really awake as she wiped her hand across her face and blinked a few times. “Oh, good. You’re alive after all,” I joked, thou
