Hanging in the Balance
Last Updated:
2021-02-18 09:31:41Cadence hung in the air for a moment, or so it seemed. She knew her sister wasn’t close enough or focused enough to have sent her a protective bubble of levitational power. Still, everything in front of her seemed to pause for a heartbeat or two. Beyond Christian and the ebony embers of the exploding Vampire, she saw familiar faces, either staring at her in shock or just turning their eyes in her direction, realizing what was happening. Her arms flailed through air, her legs kicking as if she might gain traction and suddenly learn how to fly as they all watched her, hopeless.
She saw Cale and noted how the moonlight gleamed off of his blond hair. He had been a good friend to her when she needed him, and she hated the fact that she’d broken his heart. Christian was shouting her name; he was misunderstood, she realized that now. Her sister had been right to help him. Hannah, her strawberry-blonde hair fluttering behind her as she ran in what seemed like slow motion

The Clandestine Saga Watching the World Fall Apart
Cadence was falling, and there was nothing in the world anyone could do about it. For all of their superpowers, their strength, speed, power, ability to heal, or make things fly, no one was close enough or could react fast enough to save her.She hung in the air for a moment as Aaron watched, frozen, staring into each other’s eyes, before she started to plummet. He didn’t see fear there, though. Only regret—and sorrow. She’d taken it a step too far, pushed a little too hard, followed her instincts over the side of a cliff, and now, all anyone could do was watch and pray. Her mouth moved in a silent message before she dropped below the wall of rock.The rest of his team seemed to be reacting at full speed whereas his feet, once they started moving, were failing him, dragging him closer to the ledge but not as quickly as some of the others. Whether it was the terror at seeing her down there and knowing she was beyond help or the fact that he hadn&

Jamie was doing chest compressions. The rest of the forest started to move around him again, and Aaron realized he needed to do something, anything, now. If there was a way to keep from losing her, or bring her back if she was already gone, they needed to find it. Running a hand through his hair, he stepped forward out of his memories and dropped to the ground next to her, ignoring the fact that his knees were instantly coated in her sticky, crimson blood. “Breathe for her,” Jamie said as he reached thirty, and Aaron’s instincts took over. He knew how to do CPR. Tilting her head back to open her airways, he breathed into her still-warm lips twice and then waited for Jamie as he pumped her heart for her. The doctor may as well have been counting in slow motion. It seemed like it took forever for him to reach thirty again. When he did, Aaron dutifully gave her two more breaths, willing her to start breathing again on her own. She didn’t.A crowd had gath

The white light faded into a dull yellow and then a brilliant blue, and Cadence realized she was staring at the sky. It looked different somehow, though different from what, she wasn’t completely sure. She had no idea what there was to compare it to. Whatever it was she was doing before she awoke on a field of velvety green grass, she couldn’t remember.She sat up, her hand feeling the back of her head. It seemed like there should be something there—an ache or a cut, maybe. But all she felt was soft brown hair, so she shrugged it off, pulling herself up off of the ground and noting that the blue dress she was wearing was unfamiliar but very comfortable.A large Victorian style house stood behind her, and in the yard, she could see two people sitting on a bench chatting. Their laughter reached her though she was far away, the sound of it pulled a giggle from inside of her as well. They sounded so happy. There was something familiar about the way the wo

As they continued on their way, one of the houses caught her eye. Large and regal, with tall white pillars in front of a red brick exterior, the estate looked like something out of a history book—whatever that was. “Who lives here?” Cadence asked, but before either of her grandparents could answer, that voice was back in her head.“Cadence, please. Just breathe, Cadence. Just take a breath. You can do it.”Cadence sucked in air, filling her lungs, her forehead puckering again. What did the voice mean she should breathe? Clearly, she was already breathing.“Are you all right, dear?” Grandma Janette’s smile was turned down a bit at the corners, as if she wasn’t quite as happy as she had been before.“Yes, fine,” Cadence assured her. “I just heard the voice again, that’s all.”“How peculiar.” Grandpa tsked his tongue.“This house belon

Cadence scratched her head and remembered the voice. She was having trouble hearing it now. Before even when it wasn’t speaking to her, she had an idea it was still there. But now, it seemed to have faded away. She hoped it would stay that way. It was beginning to bother her less and less that she couldn’t place it, that she didn’t know where she’d been before she’d been here. “What is her other son’s name?”“That’s the thing; she doesn’t know. She doesn’t remember anything about him except that he sort of looked like Jimmy but not the same. And he was here, and now he’s not here.”She’d also thought Jimmy looked like someone, but she couldn’t remember who. She thought really hard for a moment, staring across the baseball field at Jimmy’s face. Who was it? Who had a face sort of like that? Try as she might, she couldn’t remember. “I’d like to speak to

“Oh, no, honey. No one has a baby here,” Janette said, still smiling but a note of sadness in her voice. “You bring your baby with you. Either you have one or you don’t.”“What?” Cadence asked, pressing down harder on her abdomen. “But... I want one.” She didn’t feel like that had always been the case, but seeing Aislyn talking to her child, she knew in her heart she also wanted to be a mother, to have a beautiful child and speak to him or her as if they were the most important person here. Because they would be.“Sorry, dear. Unless you brought a baby with you here, you can’t have one. But there are lots of other people’s babies you can hold.” Jordan looked sympathetic as well, but not sad.“I don’t think I brought a baby with me here, did I?” Cadence couldn’t remember seeing one.“Sometimes they don’t arrive right away. Give it time. Y

Jamie was at twenty-two, and Aaron was trying to focus, but the voices to his left were prominent in his mind. He could still hear Elliott’s murmurs, Cass’s sobs, sighs and gasps from others. Christian was pacing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, behind almost everyone. Aurora, free of her handcuffs now that she was no longer a threat, was doubled over on the ground, her hands linked around her knees, her wails having lost their voice minutes ago so that she was no longer making a noise as her body shook and spasmed. Eliza had her arm around the much taller Hunter, trying to be comforting, but Aaron was aware that, of everyone here, Eliza Wrath was the only one who really didn’t care if Cadence ever opened her eyes again. He could feel it rolling off of her in waves of ugliness like the sea during the type of storm that leaves debris littered all over the beach, breaks boats in its wake, and sends sailors to the bottom of the ocean.There were

Lungs burning, body aching with the pain of soldering itself back together, eyes blinded by brilliant white, Cadence opened her mouth and sucked in air for the first time in as long as she could remember. Her legs still felt like they were on fire, like she’d been running for hours, but as she tipped her head back and began to cough the memories of what had happened to her, how she’d killed Daunator and then found herself in the air with no ground beneath her boots, flooded her mind, and every trace of memory about why she felt like she’d been running fled her mind.“Cadence? Cadence!”Aaron was there. She could feel his hands on her, even though she couldn’t open her eyes to look at him yet. Her throat burned as she continued to sputter, coughing and choking on the air she so desperately wanted in her lungs. How long had she gone without taking a breath? Why did her heart feel like a jackhammer, her chest muscles sore from the exert

The Clandestine Saga Cadon and Jo
Hannah took Jo to give her a bath, and Ona helped Cadence get Cadon latched while Jamie left to go check on his own one-month-old baby. Cadence’s son was a pro almost immediately, latching on the first try to resting peacefully while he nursed. Cadence couldn’t believe how lucky she was to have even one sweet baby, let alone the blessings of two. He wore a tiny little cap to keep him warm, and she couldn’t help but stroke his head while he made soft baby noises in her arms.Hannah brought Jo back before Cadon was finished. It took her daughter much longer to latch. She kept turning her feisty little face away, growling her discontentment as Cadence tried to get her on and not disturb Cadon at the same time. With Aaron’s help, their daughter finally latched, but he had to have his hand on her back or else she’d pull off again. “She is definitely a Daddy’s girl,” Cadence declared, shaking her head at her strong-spirited daughter.
The Clandestine Saga One More
“For the record, there really is no comparison between us naming our son after a famous jazz pianist and you naming your daughter after a murderous dictator,” the Healer pointed out before getting back to the task at hand. “I think in two or three more pushes, we’ll have a baby.” He was looking at Cadence now, smiling at her above the draped sheet that made her feel a little more secure even if it didn’t really hide anything at all from the doctor.“Okay,” she said again, ready to get it over with. Jamie told her to push, and she did, as hard as she could, hoping for two and not three as the lucky number.“Keep pushing,” Jamie said, even though Aaron had reached ten. “She’s almost there.”Cadence strained even harder, giving it every bit of energy she had left, and a few seconds later, she felt her daughter slip into the world. Listening to her cries made Cadence’s heart melt all
The Clandestine Saga Family
“One more push, Cadence,” Jamie insisted, his normally friendly-tone replaced by his not-quite-as-friendly medical professional tone. “One more time, and we’ll have a baby.”Cadence could feel the sweat dripping off of her forehead and wondered how normal human women did this, especially the ones who refused any sort of pain medication. Even with her superhuman strength and resilience, she was tired. Jamie had gloves on so he wasn’t using any of his healing powers to help her, but she had opted for the epidural, which minimized her pain but did nothing for the exhaustion.“You ready?” Aaron asked, standing next to her, holding one leg while Ona, a Healer who was acting as Jamie’s nurse, held the other.“I’m ready,” she nodded. Her husband’s smile hadn’t dimmed since her water broke three hours earlier. It might not have diminished since they’d left Prague eight months ago,
The Clandestine Saga So Much Love
Jamie gently wrapped his arms around her. “I’m so glad you’re okay.” He kissed her cheek. “Love you, Cadence.”“I love you, too,” she said, returning the kiss. He took a step back and smiled at her before heading off toward the mountain.Cassidy hugged her sister a little more tightly than the doctor had. “Don’t you ever die on me again.”“I won’t. You neither. I love you, little sister.”“I know.” Cassidy giggled at her own smart remark. “I love you, too.” Cadence kissed the top of her sister’s head, and Cassidy let her go, stepping back to wait for Brandon.“Good job getting the monster.” Brandon’s hug was more like a pat on the back, and Cadence almost laughed, wondering if he just didn’t want to break her or was embarrassed.“Thanks, Brandon. Take care of my sis.”“I will try,
The Clandestine Saga Mama
“The baby, Cadence,” Aaron said in her head. “You’re carrying our baby.”Cadence sucked in air all over again, like she had when she’d first fought to open her eyes. The baby! Jamie had told her she was pregnant before the hunt. How it had slipped her mind was beyond her, but yes, she was going to have a baby.Or was she? Her eyes flew to Jamie’s face, all of her questions bottled up in her eyes as she raised both brows, hoping he could alleviate her worry.Jamie smiled and gave a small nod only she could see. All of the air rushed out of Cadence’s lungs again as her hand flew to her abdomen, sighing in relief.“What is it?” Cassidy asked. “What was the other thing you couldn’t remember before?”Part of her wanted to keep their little secret just that, and she was disappointed that she hadn’t been the one to tell Aaron. She looked to him to see if
The Clandestine Saga Remembering
Cassidy smiled, but didn’t say anything, and Cadence could tell by her expression, she didn’t know what to make of Cadence’s revelation. It was no matter—she moved on.“Jack was pitching, Elliott. And the batter was a guy who looked so much like you. I couldn’t remember you at the time—sorry—but I asked, and my grandparents said the batter’s name was Jimmy.”“Jimmy?” Elliott echoed. “I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that name to you.”“I don’t think you have either, but that’s your brother’s name, isn’t it.”Elliott’s head rocked back and forth slowly. “Wow. If that don’t beat all.... It’s like the freakin’ Wizard of Oz. ‘And you were there, and you were there....’ Hmmm.”“Well, it gets Wizardier because your mom was there, too. Arlene. And she wa
The Clandestine Saga More To Do
A growl from Elliott let her know he disagreed, but he didn’t say anything more, and Christian only nodded before he faded out of view. It was just as well. Cadence was exhausted. She didn’t really want to talk to anyone else, just let her husband pick her up in his strong arms and carry her back to the SUV so she could take a shower and fall asleep for a few years.“I hate to interrupt,” Scarlet said, taking a step closer to where they were sitting. “Cadence, it is wonderful you’re okay. But Jamie, what about that serum you made? Do you think we should try it? If we can get the Hybrids back up there, we might be able to save some of those people who are still trapped in the holes.”“Oh, right.” Jamie scratched his head, like he’d forgotten about the serum. “Yeah, why don’t you and Cale start working on that. The serum is in my backpack, which is in the trees near where we first encountered the bla
