Not Sure
Besides being an area leader, Cale was also still a practicing surgeon, and he actually saw patients in this same building, which housed the headquarters for the region. Most of his patients knew about the Ternion for some reason or another, whether it was a relative or having actually been a practicing Hunter or Guardian at one time.
His living room was fresh and white. Even the furniture was so clean, she didn’t want to sit down for fear of getting it dirty. He offered her a seat on the sofa, however, so she slipped her backpack off and took it.

A shower and a nap later, and Cadence woke up feeling refreshed—and famished. She sent a message to Cale to ask if he would mind if she raided his refrigerator, and since he was well aware of how she could pack it away, she didn’t feel at all bad cleaning out most of his foodstuffs once he’d given his permission to do so.When she was done eating everything she could find that was reasonable to make or cook, she realized she’d left his kitchen a mess, so she did the dishes and changed out the trash bag, though she wasn’t willing to actually chance running into som
The Clandestine Saga All the Lies
Cadence had gone to bed early Saturday night. After a brief discussion with Cale, where he offered to take her on his team’s hunt that night, and she declined because his team would know she was there, and also she’d had enough crazy Vampires for a few days, she’d fallen asleep. Not having checked in with Aaron beforehand made her wake up in a panic at 6:30 the next morning only to find he was still in Connecticut, and she was safe--at least for a few more hours.It was tempting to spend another day or two in Cale’s comfortable, sparkly clean apartment. But she knew it
The Clandestine Saga Forty Mile
Monday evening, she headed out into the Forty Mile Desert and eventually found a place she liked. It was at the foot of a fairly tall plateau, and the shadow kept her in the shade as the sun was going down. She wasn’t sure how hot it might feel out here during the daytime, especially since her body didn’t react to temperatures quite the way it used to before she Transformed, but she was willing to give it a try. She’d brought plenty of water, some extra gasoline, and enough protein bars and other snacks to last until Thursday morning. She hoped she’d be out of there Wednesday night, but she didn’t know for sure if she’d feel like leaving if the portal didn’t open or Elliott didn’t decide to come through.
The Clandestine Saga Begging
Once her sister disconnected, Cadence was alone in the world again, only the scarce sounds of the desert creatures around her and the vast expanse of sand and sky. Tempted to pick her book back up and just continue reading, she finally decided against it. She needed to let someone know what her sister had discovered.It should’ve been Aaron, but it couldn’t be. She would talk to him again before the moon began to fill the night sky, but not now. It wasn’t quite 3:30, and if he found out now that she did have Elliott with her, he could still potentially find a way to reach her
The Clandestine Saga From Beyond
Cadence’s hands were shaking as she carefully unzipped the backpack. “It’s go time, my friend,” she said as she took the plastic bag out of the backpack and carefully set it on the ground. She was hopeful that the bag would be empty when she put it away, but she reminded herself that she promised she wouldn’t pressure him into anything.In the other compartment, she’d tucked away the container she’d selected, an empty bucket from one of Elliott’s favorite establishments—KFC. It had gotten a bit smooshed, but she reshaped it and took both it
The Clandestine Saga Portal Closing
Without question, the portal was closing quickly now. The dancing blue lights began to knit together to form a solid fabric. Elliott said something else, but Cadence couldn’t understand him anymore, and as the blue lights began to fade and flicker, Cadence collapsed on the ground, overcome by her grief. She had thought that seeing her friend again would bring her closure, that at least having the chance to say the things to him she’d meant to say before he died would get rid of all of the regrets. But instead, all it had done was open fresh wounds. The fact that Elliott was happy made her feel slightly better, but it did very little to stop the throbbing pain in her heart. Aaron was right; she never should have done this. She should have let the healing process continue. She should h
The Clandestine Saga The Other Side
There was a zap of electricity, and the fresh smell of ozone being released into the air. Every part of her body began to tingle the moment she’d thrust her hand through the opening, but after having waited for over a year for such an occurrence, she had to take this chance, no matter what may lay on the other side.The depths of hell had been precisely what one might have guessed if they’d been privy to even one rough sermon from the pulpit of any branch or denomination of Christianity. She hadn’t had a moment of mercy since she found herself cast into fire and brimstone at
The Clandestine Saga Explanations
Cadence didn’t bother to try to hide her bike this time when Elliott pulled into the parking garage that adjoined Cale’s office building. Now that Aaron couldn’t try to stop her, it didn’t matter that everyone would see her—and Elliott. They would have a lot of explaining to do, and she realized that others might want to try to open the portal for various reasons if rumor got out how this was accomplished. She thought it best to tell everyone that Elliott was back but there would be no explanation of how it was accomplished and leave it at that.Walking through th
