A Chat with the Mother-in-Law
Cadence had fallen asleep after dinner, but not before giving Aaron careful instructions on what to do with her laundry, which she’d managed to put in the washer but hadn’t quite gotten into the drier before she’d convinced him to force her to go to bed. Clearly, she was exhausted. It had been a very long week, and her emotions had been on a roller coaster.
After tucking her in, he made his way down the stairs to follow through with his promise to throw her clothes in the drier. He passed Elliott and Brandon having a conversation about sports in the living room and steered cl

Cadence slept like a rock. While she was very comfortable in the apartment she shared with Aaron in Kansas City, there was just something about being at home that always made her feel comfortable, and while she hadn’t always fallen right to sleep during any of her previous visits, the events of the last week had left her exhausted. For once, she was asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.The sun was peeking through the pink curtains that hung over each of the three windows in her bedroom when she opened her eyes to realize her sister was sitting next to her, jabbing her in the
The Clandestine Saga A Sister's Plea
“Cass, I’m so sorry….” Cadence began.“And then there’s Mom and Dad with their annoying, ‘You should go hang out with your friends. Go back to cheerleading. Join a club!’ crap. They don’t understand. No one understands! There is literally no one else in the entire world like me!”By the time she finished the last sentence, tears we

“Okay,” Aaron said, with a simple shrug, sitting next to Cadence on her parent’s front porch swing. After a large breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs, and her mother’s signature made-from-scratch biscuits, which she had devoured almost as ferociously as Elliott and Brandon, Cadence had dragged herself outside to talk to her fiancé about the prospect of Cassidy moving to headquarters for good. While, she’d dreaded the conversation, she thought it was best to get it over with quickly rather than let it linger; he would know there was something she wasn’t telling him anyway.
The Clandestine Saga Addressing the Team
Just a few days after her passing, Grandma Janette’s memorial service was held in the church she had attended regularly for the last fifteen years in Des Moines. The obituary said she’d passed of a sudden illness, and no one seemed to question the situation. Cadence had sat through the service stoically, Aaron’s arm around her; she was getting far too familiar with funerals.While Cassidy’s conversation with her parents had been successful, they asked if she could wait a week or two in order to tie up loose ends at school and give them an opportunity to adjust to life w
The Clandestine Saga The Real Truth
The room broke into a buzz of conversations as most people stood and began to make their ways toward the exits. The majority of the people in attendance knew Aaron well enough to understand it would do them no good to ask questions once he’d said the discussion was over. Cadence noticed her friends beginning to congregate to the front right hand side of the first row, and she planned on going over to talk to them just as soon as possible. Before she headed that way, she turned to Aaron, who had clicked off the mic and was straightening up the dais. Once she had his attention, she asked, “Do you think that went okay?’

“All right, I’ve got pants on. This better be good,” Elliott said as he folded his large frame into the seat next to Cadence around the conference room table. She couldn’t help but think how extremely normal it was for him to be sitting in the same chair he’d always sat in before, like nothing had ever changed.He’d had the opportunity to say hello to each of them earlier in the day, before the meeting, since these were the Guardians and Hunters he’d also worked most closely with right before he died. All of them were at Sierraville except for Shane. M
The Clandestine Saga Vampire Eavesdropping
While Cadence wanted to ask Brandon why he was on the IAC during the meeting, she held her tongue. “Okay,” she said as she allowed her sister to message her. The conversation continued around her, and though she could hear that they were speculating about where everyone else disappeared, and Aaron pulled out his phone, she couldn’t focus on both conversations at once. “Cass? What’s up? We’re in a meeting.”“I know. Sorry,” she said. “I wish I was there.&
The Clandestine Saga Back to Philly
It had been a short argument, but Cadence had won, and when they loaded the plane to head to Philly the next morning, her sister was on it. Aaron had been a bit easier to convince than their parents, but Cassidy handled most of that, and as she sat next to Aaron toward the front of the plane, Cadence felt relieved that her sister was sitting in the back next to Brandon. At least this time there could be no surprises; Cassidy couldn’t sneak up on them if she was already with the rest of the team.Along with the other team members who had participated in the meeting, they had also called i
