All Chapters of So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

The apartment was quiet when I got there, which always makes me happy. Cadence and Aaron have an office on campus a few blocks away, but sometimes Cadence likes to work from here. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s afraid she’ll drive Aaron crazy with her disorganization, or if he drives her crazy telling her not to put her feet on the desk or to quit bouncing her knee, but whoever thought it was a good idea to put them in the same room, even if it’s a big one, probably didn’t think it through. So a lot of times, when I get back from training, she’s here. Luckily, this was not one of those days.I dropped my gym bag on the floor inside my room. (I learned a long time ago you never drop your bag by the door if you don’t want to have it flung at your head in the middle of the night by a Guardian who doesn’t sleep much and keeps a pretty tidy ship.) My stomach was growling, but I decided to call Brandon on the IAC and let him

I walked into the dining room to find Brandon lighting a candle, two plates of chicken and pasta ready to eat, with cloth napkins and the good silverware. “Would you like your pop in the can or on ice, my lady?” he asked, taking the stance of a waiter with his arm out in front of him.Laughter pealed out of my mouth before I could even thank him for going to so much trouble. “You really didn’t have to do all of this,” I said, shaking my head.“My pleasure, my lady,” he replied in some odd British-ish sounding accent. Then he cleared his throat and said, “Can or ice?”“Oh, the can’s fine,” I replied, taking a seat. I spread the napkin over my lap and waited for him to return before digging in. I really was starving. The pasta was a little overcooked for my liking, but other than that, it was great. I remembered the first time he’d cooked for me, for my whole family actually, when he and

I’m not sure if a few stories make a huge difference when you’re trying to reach out into the universe with your mind, but I wanted to be as close to the cosmos as possible, and Brandon was kind enough to humor me. Rather than going up to the roof of our perfectly good building, he accompanied me across the street to the slightly taller trainee building, and we took the elevator up to the top and then, with the help of Juan Diego, the lead custodian who is very fond of both of us (but terrified of Elliott), we were able to access the roof through a door normally kept locked so that the trainees didn’t go up there and mess around. I wasn’t sure what difference it made until I got up there and saw there were a lot of mechanical components housed there and decided it made sense to just keep the door locked. He trusted us, though, despite Brandon looking so much like his dad, and when Brandon moved one of the large wicker chairs from the tenth-floor balcony hango

My sister and Aaron were back in the apartment by the time Brandon and I got there. It was odd that Aaron was home since he was almost always in his office when something like this was happening, and the fact that he was pacing around the living room made me think he would be leaving again as soon as I told them what I’d discovered.“Well?” Cadence asked, as soon as I was fully in the room.“Hello to you, too,” Brandon remarked smugly, not letting go of my hand.With a humph, my sister said, “Hi, Cassidy! Hi, Brandon! How are you today? Cold enough for you out there? Now, what the crap did you find out?” The first part was delivered in an overly syrupy voice like one might use if they worked in customer service. The last part just sounded downright mean.“Well, that was rude,” Brandon murmured, crossing the room to sit in a recliner nowhere near where my sister sat on the couch. I waited for Aaron to s

The team for the hunt at the RV park was so big, we had to meet in the old conference room, which isn’t even in the same building as Cadence and Aaron’s office. Their set up is much nicer, but there’s no way all of those people would’ve comfortably fit around the table where we had met the last few times I went out on a hunt with them.Not that it was comfortable now. Elliott had just gotten back from Oklahoma about an hour before, and he and Brandon had had a huge fight. I was in the middle of it, though I had mostly tried to comfort Brandon. Apparently, things with Amanda didn’t go so well. We’d been watching TV when Brandon got a really nasty text from his mom. He’d been so upset, he just started pacing the floor waiting for his dad to get back. Elliott was oblivious as to why Brandon was so angry, but he said he’d take care of it, and all he did was try to get Amanda back on her feet. I think Brandon and Elliott hashed thing
