Chapter 504
I needed to reach out to my sister. As much as I wanted to respect her time away, this seemed like an emergency to me, and I didn’t think she’d be happy if she came back in a few days and found out about these creatures; she’d wonder why no one had told her.
I didn’t want to use the phone, though. I realized that my IAC was just as traceable as the phone, but it seemed like, if I called her, Aaron could just grab her phone and dismiss the call and not even tell her it had rung. No, I was going to have to use my brain to get in touch with her. So I decided to try my IAC first.
Moving into the bedroom, I took a seat on the bed with the lights off and got ready to explain myself to my sister. A quick check in with Christian, in the periphery of his thinking, not a full-fledged “here I am” infiltration, let me know that he was wandering around in the forest now and not having any luck, so he should be okay. I figured Eliza was back at he

I tried not to think about anything disturbing so I could chill out a little bit, but nothing that came to mind was exactly settling. Not the dream I’d planted, not the reality it had come from, and certainly not the fleeting thought that Brandon had broken up with me. I definitely couldn’t dwell on that at the moment.Breathing deeply seemed to be helping. I checked my heart rate again and saw that it was falling. Normally, my resting heartbeat is slow, like 50 bpm, so it had been working a lot harder than usual. I was glad I hadn’t tried to take Eliza’s exact footage and stick it in Cadence’s mind without building it from my own memory because who knows what that might’ve done to me.I was hoping to hear from my sister soon. If it had worked, she should wake up with her heart thundering, too, though not as quickly as mine had been. Hopefully, she’d reach out soon. I could see her contacting someone else, like Aurora or Elliot

My alarm scared the living crap out of me when it went off a few hours later. I fumbled for it, knocking my phone off of my nightstand, out of reach of my grappling fingers. I continued to reach for it as the obnoxious noise blared through my room until I realized that I could turn it off with my mind—which I did. The silence was almost as deafening as the melody from my alarm.I had been dreaming, but I couldn’t remember exactly what it had been about. I tried to go back over it, to conjure the images in my mind, but they were slow coming. I just remembered the unsettling feeling of being underground, of being alive, but in a narrow opening, lying on my back, with dirt and tree roots millimeters from my face. I couldn’t remember how it was I’d gotten there or anything else that happened before I found myself in the cold earth, but I did remember how uncomfortable it had been to think of the weight of all that ground dangling above me.The thoug

First, I needed to check in on Christian. I was hoping to just scrape the periphery of his mind again so he wouldn’t know I was there. He’d said he’d let me know when he was ready to chat, but it had been too long, and I was worried.I should’ve been worried-er. It took me a while to get to him, and when I did, there was no periphery to scrape. I had to dig down pretty deeply through layers of blackness to find him, which was more than a little alarming. It wasn’t nearly as bad as when I’d had to dig Aaron out of Holland’s web, but it wasn’t good. As soon as I stepped foot into his conscious mind, it became apparent that Christian had gotten himself into a bunch of trouble.“Christian? Where are you?” I asked, finally pulling back enough layers of darkness that I could make contact with him.“Oh, hey, Cass. Nice to hear from you. I’m in a hole. In the ground.”

I shook my head before I continued with my discussion with Christian. “I don’t like this. It could be a long time before we can come and get you. Maybe I should send Eliza in after you.” I didn’t know if she would even be able to find him, but she was the only other person who had any idea what Christian was up to. If she could get him out....“No, Cass. It’s too dangerous. I’m still not sure if Daunator can kill Guardians or not, and I don’t want anybody getting hurt coming after my stupid, sorry self.”Was that a breakthrough? “Well, at least you admit you’ve done something stupid....”“I didn’t mean that this was stupid. I just meant stupid in general.”Also a victory. I didn’t want to argue with him, though. “Okay, but if Daunator can kill Guardians, what’s stopping him from killing you?”

I turned my attention back to Eliza, wishing I could just be done with this entire fiasco. It was sort of odd how I’d been begging to be involved and now I wanted to run away. “Sorry, Eliza. I was talking to Christian.”“Christian? You found him? Is he okay?”I didn’t want to be rude, so I stopped short of reminding her I could find anyone who had conscious thoughts. “Yes, I found him, and he’s okay. But Daunator has him stuck in a hole in the ground.”“A hole? What do you mean?”Biting back the sarcastic answer that wanted to define the word hole for her, I went another route. I could see why it might be hard to believe under the circumstances. “It’s kind of hard to describe. It’s like a really deep, dark, hole in the ground. There’s no way he can get out on his own. So he’s hoping Daunator will show up and fight him so

Heather responded fairly promptly after her training was over. She said she was starving and asked me to meet her at the sandwich shop in the trainee building. I was hesitant for a couple of reasons. First of all, I hadn’t left my apartment since Brandon broke up with me. I was afraid I might run into him, or even Elliott, and not know what to say to either one of them. But I’d have to go out into the world again at some point, right? The other thing was, I wasn’t hungry at all. And Heather eats like she’s been trapped in a portal for a century with no food. It’s impressive but also indigestion inducing.I got there first and ordered a sandwich from the counter and found a booth knowing they’d bring out my hot ham and cheese when it was ready. Sipping my Dr. Pepper, I looked around at the other people. I knew most of them, one way or another. It was lunchtime, so it was busy and getting busier. A lot of the new trainees were coming in on th

“Well, they were people, but they were completely jet black, like they’d been through a crisper. But they weren’t burned. I mean, they weren’t charred or anything. Just black. Except for their eyes. Those were red. And their clothes were weird. Some of them, anyway. Some of them looked like they were wearing clothes from a really long time ago, like villagers in an old movie or something. They crawled down the sides of the buildings, like spiders sort of. And they had claws. Maybe you should just jump into my head and then you could see for yourself.” It would be easier that way. I was so lost in watching her devour her lunch, I wasn’t sure I was making a lot of sense. I took another small bite and waited for her to decide what she wanted to do.“Okay, sounds good to me. Pull ‘em up.” She swiped at her mouth with a napkin.It was so weird inviting someone else into my head. I hoped I didn’t accidentally show h
So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire? Chapter 512
There were so many assumptions in that sentence, it made me wonder what Brandon was telling people. Or was he even speaking about it all? Maybe it had gone through the rumor mill enough that everyone had their own warped version of what had happened. I didn’t even want to think about what other people might be saying about me, especially some of the girls at training who have always thought Brandon was too good for me. “We just decided that I was too distracted right now, and I need to figure a few things out. That’s all.” I remembered that Heather had gone to Pizza Triangle with them the other night when I hadn’t, and wondered if she was thinking about going after Brandon herself. A stab of jealousy hit me right in the gut.“Uh huh,” Heather said, like she didn’t buy a word that had come out of my mouth. “I was surprised to hear he’d broken up with you. You was about all he could talk about when we was in the portal
