Alle Kapitel von So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?: Kapitel 471 – Kapitel 480

That’s where I was that afternoon a few days after my sister’s wedding, on the treadmill, when an obscure news article caught my attention. I was just glancing through the headlines when I noticed it in the corner of publication that translates European newspapers into English. Since Daunator was the only major threat still out there, I had been paying attention to the part of the earth he occupied, to our knowledge, so when this article out of the Czech Republic caught my eye, I had to read it.The report was originally published in some off-beat newspaper in Prague, so it didn’t seem like the most reliable source in the world. But if what it said was true, we had a huge problem on our hands. According to the reporter, people were vanishing from the area by the dozens. In fact, it said over the last week, at least fifty people were gone from some little suburb of Prague I couldn’t have pronounced if I wanted to. That was a lot of people! Immediately,

“You want me to ask your temporary boss if you can come to our meeting and present some numbers about missing persons in Europe?” Elliott was through the kitchen entryway, fridge open as I shot down the hall behind him. Brandon was sitting on the couch with his phone in his hand, and it looked like maybe he and his mother were having a conversation via text. Probably about how stupid his girlfriend is.“Yeah, I want you to ask someone. It can be Hannah.”“Hannah ain’t the boss of you.” He moved a few items around inside the fridge before pulling out the milk. I was puzzled until he set it on the counter and opened one of the cabinets to produce a box of Fruity Pebbles. I knew Elliott wasn’t about to guzzle a glass of something potentially nutritious, not unless he also had a plate of chocolate chip cookies.“I know technically she isn’t, but she is in charge of the leadership team, mostly, isn’t s

Jamie’s tone was nonchalant as he asked me what was bothering me, but he knew there was something going on or else, not only would I not be here, I wouldn’t have been all worked up in the hallway. “No, not exactly. I mean, everything is fine with me. But... there are a lot of missing people in Europe. Like a lot a lot. And I was hoping maybe I could get a few minutes in front of the leadership team to get them to understand that what’s going on is more than a little alarming. So... I asked Elliott to help me because Hannah’s too busy to talk to me right now, and Aurora’s in the gym. Not that Aurora would listen to Elliott, but Hannah would. At least I think she would.” I dropped my eyes and realized I was rambling. “Anyway, I was just hoping... maybe you wouldn’t mind mentioning something to Hannah?”I looked up into his eyes and noticed he had a look on his face like he felt sorry for me, like he could vaguely recal

Even if I had intended to tell him no, Brandon was behind me when I pushed through the door, so I really didn’t have much of a choice but to let him in. I could try to explain that I had a lot to do now that Jamie had agreed to talk to Hannah for me, but something told me my boyfriend wouldn’t be deterred.“Listen, I’m really sorry about the way I acted before,” he began, following me through the living room to the kitchen like I wasn’t completely ignoring him. “I wasn’t being very fair to you. Clearly, you’re very concerned about the situation in Europe, and I haven’t given it the attention it deserves.”I pulled the fridge open while he was talking, grabbed a bottle of Dr. Pepper, and then turned and looked at him about the time he finished his statement. Those words had not originated in my boyfriend’s head. “Who have you been talking to? Tara? Not Lucy; you didn’t say, ‘OMG.&r

“We surely did miss you last night at the arcade,” Heather said as we walked back to the apartments together after training. “That there was a heckofa lotta fun.”I had had no idea the other Hybrid went with my friends—our friends—to the arcade. It didn’t bother me, though. Why should it? Just because she was a beautiful blonde who had spent some quality time with my boyfriend locked in a portal, there was no reason for it to bother me that she’d also been at a get-together with him the night before.“I’m sure it was,” I said, forcing a smile. “I was busy getting some data together,” I said, hoping to sound nonchalant, even though I didn’t feel that way about what she was saying or what I was half-heartedly explaining to her. I didn’t really want to go into detail about what was happening in Europe right now because I wanted to talk to the committee about it first. It didn’t
