Chapter 434
“Ward?” Cadence echoed, staring at the man in disbelief.
“Forgive my tardiness, but when I got Miss Cassidy’s message, I diverted my flight so that I was headed here instead of to Iowa, not as easy as you might think.”
“Ward!” my sister said again. “It’s so nice to finally meet you.” I thought for a moment she might fling herself at him, but he didn’t exactly look like the sort of man a stranger hugs. She might’ve gotten him wrinkled.
“You as well, although I had hoped it would be under happier circumstances. But don’t you worry. Cassidy explained the situation to me, and I will do all that I can to help. I’ve never dealt with this exactly, but I can read Scottish Gaelic. And... I know our Aaron well enough to confirm what I’m sure you already know. He’ll find a way to get back to you.”
I could see that my sister was fighting back tears. Her head wa

“You don’t expect me to actually take a nap at a time like this, do you?” I asked my sister, glancing at Ashley and wondering how in the world she was sleeping again. I couldn’t imagine my mind shutting off under the circumstances.“I do,” Cadence confirmed. “What sort of use are you going to be if you can’t keep your eyes open?”The idea of Vampires rampaging our rooms while I was sleeping made me chuckle. “Do you think I could fall asleep during a Vampire attack?”I could see the other people in the room shifting their attention from me to Cadence and back again with each statement. I thought I saw a flicker of fear in Oswald’s eyes, like he thought maybe I would attack my sister. I wouldn’t.“Your reflexes will slow down if you’re not well rested, sister dear.”I shook my head. “Cadence....”“Cassidy?”I exhaled l
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 436
The little old lady who runs the place was downstairs in the parlor on the phone when we walked in. She called hello, but none of us much felt like being overly friendly, so we sort of half-waved and went right up the stairs. Ashley was sniffling again before she reached her bedroom door.“His stuff is in there,” she said quietly. Cadence didn’t pause to listen, just kept walking down the hall to our room.“I know.” I patted her on the arm. “That’s okay. It’s a good thing.”“But it smells like him.” She had large, bouncy tears rolling down her cheeks.“Good. Go, smell it.”Ashley looked at me like I’d just told her to go sniff paint fumes or something. I pulled up the hem of Brandon’s shirt, and I think she realized for the first time it was his. “It helps,” I said.Slowly, she nodded, and fumbled in her pocket for the key. “How are we

Brandon’s room smelled more like him now than it did this morning, or at least I thought it did. I tossed my jacket and holster on the bed and pulled his blood-stained shirt off. I hated to take off the one article of clothing that smelled so much like him, but I couldn’t keep wearing it with Christian’s blood all over it. I needed to take a shower, too, but that would have to wait until after 7:00.Most of their stuff was already packed. I just needed to gather up their toiletries and a few odds and ends Elliott, mostly, had strewn around the room. There was a half-eaten bag of Cheetos on the dresser. I unclipped it and stuck my face inside, inhaling deeply. It didn’t exactly smell like him, but his essence was there somehow. I ate one, even though I know he licks his fingers and sticks them back in the bag. I don’t exactly love Cheetos, but this one was better than most because it reminded me of him.I cleaned up the rest of their stuff,
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 438
I couldn’t help but be worried to know the Guardians stuck in the portal were being attacked by creatures that sounded an awful lot like demons. I swallowed hard and tried to remember that Brandon was trained to fight, and Jamie was with him, not to mention his dad would keep him safe.“There’s a girl here I think you’ll want to meet, once we get out. I’m not sure how to tell you this exactly... but... it’s Heather. Yeah, that Heather.” I caught my breath—I’d been looking for Heather ever since I’d met Mina and Bonnie earlier in the year. To think, she’d been in the portal the whole time!“She’s been in here over a century. So it’s no wonder you couldn’t track her down. She’s been super helpful. She can tell us when to expect an attack. There’s an iron pin in the ground that we think has something to do with how we can get out. So the brains of the operation a

It really didn’t matter what I wanted, though. I knew if Alex had the chance to die, he’d take it. Which sounds morbid, but he never asked to be brought back from the dead in the first place, and that was over two hundred years ago.... He was tired of living, and he’d done an awful lot of it.I took in a deep breath and headed off to Ashley’s room, messaging Tara back at the same time. Rather than repeating everything to each of them, I just told Tara to hold on a second, and I’d give her visuals once I was in Ashley’s room.Ashley was smiling for the first time since she’d gotten Jamie’s last message. She was sitting on her bed, cradling her phone, wearing one of Jamie’s lab coats, which I thought was really weird. “Hey—why... does Jamie bring that with him?”“Huh?” She looked down, like she’d forgotten she’d put it on. “Oh.” Her face went a little pink.

I remembered from last time it took a couple of extra seconds to come through, so when my phone said 1:00, and nothing happened, I kept breathing. About the time it rolled to 1:01, I heard a whoosh and two dings.Brandon and Elliott.Of course, I read Brandon’s first. I glanced over at Cadence and saw her reading, too, so I knew at least Aaron had messaged her. It didn’t take much persuasion to keep me focused on Brandon’s words.“Hey, babe. How’s it going? You’re probably sound asleep, right? Nothing on your mind? Dang, I wish I was there with you. Of course, if I was, you really would be asleep, and I’d be in another room, in Iowa, probably watching a lame movie with my dad. Still, it beats what I’m doing now, I guess.“So it has occurred to me that Holland wanted us gone for a reason. I hope you’re being careful. I’m sure Cadence has contacted every available Guardian in the tri-state ar
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 441
Around 2:00, I started to get a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. I could tell my sister felt it, too, because I saw her sit up a little straighter on the bed. I was back in the chair, just perusing social media, looking at old pictures of Brandon and me. But once that stirring started, I put my phone away, inside one of the secret pockets in my jacket where it was less likely to fall out or get busted. Tonight could get ugly.I closed my eyes and tried to relax for a moment, feeling out into the night. They were definitely coming, and there were more of them than I had expected. I thought we’d knocked out most of the Vampires in the area during our raids. The deeper I probed, the more I realized most of these were newbies, created recently for just such an event. I guess a Vampire’s a little bit like a cockroach. You can do your best to squish them, but if you leave one or two around, soon enough, you’ll find yourself infested again.My best es
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 442
My sister was caught up by the other two Vampires, so she would be no help, and Ashley was checking out her shoulder. I needed to get rid of this guy quickly. Out the door, I could see more coming. It seemed like our perimeter hadn’t done a darn thing. I also heard sirens wailing, which wasn’t a surprise. Even with the silencer on Cadence’s gun, we were still in a suburban area firing guns and breaking glass in the middle of the night.I shot the guy in the face, knowing it would only slow him down. His head jerked back, and his hands covered the hole in his head. I jabbed my knife into his chest and dragged it down a foot or two as he screeched. By the time I yanked it out and gave him a good kick in the gut, he was done for. I moved through his ashes just as Cadence tossed her knife across the room to take out the last one that had made it into the room.My sister was bleeding and so was Ashley, but we moved out the door. “Head for the car!&rd
