2021-02-24 09:25:20I’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

Out of nowhere, everything went black. I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head, and I started vibrating almost as rapidly as that stupid orb in the sky. I felt my sister’s arms around me, which was a good thing because otherwise I might’ve fallen over right there. My body felt like it was attached to a jackhammer, it was shaking so hard, and then I felt my feet lift off of the floor. I needed to get there.... I needed to go through that opening.... I need to be inside of the moon....My feet hit the floor hard, jarring my eyes open, and I realized I wasn’t shaking anymore. I was staring into my sister’s brown eyes, and it took a me a moment to even remember where I was. “What happened?” I asked, trying to remember. Something about the moon....“I don’t know, but it wasn’t normal,” Cadence said, her hands on my arms. “Are you okay?”I looked down and was glad to see my feet were planted on

I nodded in agreement with my sister, thinking that getting to the Eidolon Festival ourselves as soon as possible was the right thing to do. I was ready to run out the door right that second, but she needed a moment to get her Glock and tie her boots. She looked at me quizzically. “Where’s your weapon?”I pulled open my jacket. “In its holster.”Cadence rolled her eyes at me, like she had had no idea I had been armed and dangerous this whole time. She stood up and wandered around for a second, patting her pants. “Keys... keys....”I grabbed them off of the dresser and tossed them to her. She was driving me crazy. Like we were just going down to the Piggly Wiggly to grab some milk. “Come on, let’s go!”Cadence motioned at the door, and I flew out of it first, almost running right into Ashley. Great, another obstacle.“Oh, hey! Glad you’re both still awake. Something weird seems

Ashley popped her head between my sister and I. “What’s happening?” she asked, and I realized she had no idea what was going on, like none at all. She’d missed out on my little dance with the moon, and it probably hadn’t occurred to her that there was even an eclipse tonight, though I thought Aaron might’ve mentioned it during our meeting.“We don’t know,” Cadence admitted.I turned to Ashley to say more, but there really wasn’t much else to say, so I didn’t. I stayed in Hannah’s head and watched her as she and the others did as Cadence had said—rounding up Vampires, searching for Guardians, questioning anyone who looked suspicious.... It was all a chaotic mess, and I wished my sister could somehow drive even faster than she already was.When we pulled into the field next to the Eidolon Festival, Cadence dodged several parked cars to stop as close to the entryway as possible, and we al

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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 553
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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 551
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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 547
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
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 546
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,
