Semua Bab So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?: Bab 321 - Bab 330

The Guardian stood up as soon we entered the room and came around the table to greet us. The hug Margie gave her brother was a little awkward, like she wasn’t sure she wanted to touch him, and I remembered Jamie had told me that they didn’t get along very well.“Cadence, this is my sister, Margie,” Jamie said as she stepped forward, taking Margie’s outstretched hand.“Pleased to meet you,” Margie said, and I could tell by Cadence’s reaction Margie had quite a grip. I braced myself, hoping she’d be a little more gentle on me.“You as well,” Cadence managed, shaking out her hand once Margie had let go.Margie greeted Aaron and Elliott, whom she’d obviously met before, and then it was my turn. I thought the tips of my fingers might explode, she squeezed my hand so tight. I didn’t even have time to look at Brandon’s face to see if he was in as much pain as I was since I was tr

“Get her out of here! Get her out of here now!” Cadence was shouting. She pulled me up and started shoving me toward the fire escape, pushing Brandon and Jamie, who just happened to be between me and the ladder, as she went.She didn’t understand. That wouldn’t work. “He’s down the street,” I said. I realized now that Holland had filled the entire area with an eerie fog. I assumed that was her way of setting the stage and obstructing our view. I couldn’t feel her, though. I was fairly certain she wasn’t anywhere near our location. “He’s headed this way, and he’s not alone,” I said to my sister. The advanced members of Carter’s forces were coming up the road quickly now. “We won’t make it to the SUV in time, Cadence.” I stopped and looked at her. She was more frantic than I ever remembered seeing her. “He’s not after you. Not yet. He’s after me.”

Brandon and Jamie were engaged with Vampires as well, so I was on my own with this dark-haired, vicious woman. Her large claws came at my head, and I stepped out of the way just in time, bringing my knee up to the pit of her stomach. She winced and toppled to the ground, but she was up in a matter of seconds, and as I hit her with a roundhouse kick in the chest, I realized my sister was asking me how many Vampires they had left. It was hard to concentrate on that and beating the witch at the same time, but I managed to tell her she was down to three plus Carter just before witchy came at me again. This time, she scratched the crap out of my cheek before I punched her in the face and sent her flying back again.She wasn’t a big woman at all, and I really thought if I could get her pinned, I could twist her head off. I heard a scream from Aaron’s side of the roof and was glad he had been successful. Brandon was double-teamed by two odd-looking twins in bowler hats a

As the Vampire Queen closed in on my sister, Elliott, and Aaron, I watched through my boyfriend’s IAC. Brandon pulled the SUV to a screeching halt at the end of the alleyway. “Dad! Come on!” Brandon shouted through the open passenger side window. The four of them were in the SUV in a half-second, and Brandon was pulling away. I don’t know if Cadence was aware that Holland had just entered the alleyway from the other end as the SUV’s tires smoked down the road.“What do I do?” Brandon asked me.I could see that there was no way he could get out without running over a few Vampires. The ranks had closed in tightly, and there’d be no going around. “You have a line of Vampires in the road ahead of you. Do you see them?”“Yeah. How do I go around?”“You don’t.”“I don’t?”“Nope. Can&rsqu

In the following weeks, the Leadership team did a lot to plan the upcoming attack. My sister was calling it Annihilation, and I knew they intended to take out every Vampire, regardless of official status or what they had or hadn’t done. It was a sort of “let’s get them before they get us.” Holland was aware of it, too, and she and Hines were doing everything they could to try to figure out how a Vampire could kill a Guardian. I saw their experiments through Hines’s head. Sometimes he knew I was there. Other times he didn’t. He thought he had something at one point but had no way of testing it. I’d told my sister, and everyone was on high alert so no one else was taken.The Guardians from Roatán were amazing to watch. Dr. Levi Morrow, the man who had been working with Christian on the Guardian Retransformation serum, was a genius, and I liked to spend time in the lab just watching him work on projects with Christian, though the
