So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?의 모든 챕터: 챕터 341 - 챕터 350

“Cass?”I had no idea how long my sister had been standing next to me. I hadn’t heard her walk up, and I hadn’t even noticed her until she said my name. Maybe it wasn’t the first time she’d said it either. I felt my cheeks turn red. This was the first time I realized Tara might be a little right—maybe I did have a bit of a crush on Alex. I didn’t think it was anything to worry about because I loved Brandon—I love Brandon. But I hated that she was right.My head swiveled to look at my sister, and she asked. “Can I speak to you for a moment?” Then, she turned to Alex and added, “Pardon me for interrupting.”“Ah, if it isn’t the elder Miss Findley. How are you this fine day?” Alex did his little bow, and my sister looked bewildered.“Good, thank you... kind sir,” Cadence stammered. I couldn’t help but giggle. Just because Alex spoke so formally d

Cadence didn’t want to seem rude to my friends, I guess, but they weren’t giving her much of a chance to talk. “Cass, Mom wants you home soon, so can I interrupt?”“Sorry,” I mumbled as Dax said something about trying to navigate a canoe with a blindfold on. “What is it?”Cadence took a seat on the armrest, Brandon between us. I scooted up a little bit so I could see her. My sister looked around to see exactly who would be privy to this information and seemed to decide she could carry on without telling anyone to get out. “You remember I told you Elliott and I encountered some sort of crocapire?”“Yeah?” I wondered where she was going with this. It wasn’t what I was expecting her to want to talk to me about.“We want you to see if you can figure out what that was all about. Can they shift into whatever they want to now, or was that just a one-time deal? Also, can you check

Knowing that Brandon was standing on the other side of the door waiting for me was always a comfort, but as soon as I settled into my trance, I had the feeling this was going to be different, more intense.The stars reached out to me like they always did as I felt myself fade away. It seemed like I should save the most hazardous task for last, so I pushed Holland off and honed in on the situation in Houston. All of the Vampires that had been present during the hunt were dead now, obviously, but I hoped I could get some sort of a read on what had taken place from other Vampires in the area. The chatter was mostly about how violated the Compliant Vampires were feeling, that they didn’t understand why they were being targeted when they hadn’t done anything wrong, and I had to agree with them to an extent. But some who were claiming innocence held secrets in their minds, ones no one had been able to access until I walked in. So when my sister and Aaron had declared to

“We’ve been over this.” Brandon had his arms folded and stared at my sister as intently as I had been. I was so glad he was with me. At least he took me at my word. “Cassidy is certain that Holland is pregnant. So what now?”“I don’t know.” Cadence scooted back on the couch and hit her head on the wall, absently rubbing it like she hadn’t even noticed as she continued. “I mean, obviously, we need to talk to Aaron and Jamie.” She was shaking her head. I knew what she was thinking. The only way there had ever been a baby Vampire before was when a Vampire was heinous enough to bite a baby and change them. This was a first—but it was the truth nonetheless.I was ready to go back to my prison cell downstairs now. I’d had enough of my sister’s doubts and wanted to see if I could clean the bad mojo I’d picked up from Holland out of my mind. “Okay.” If she thought I was going

Elliott was nervous. I could tell by all of the awful jokes he was making on our way over to Jamie’s operating room. Of course, he always makes a ton of jokes, but these were more “dad jokey” than usual. I couldn’t blame him for being nervous; I would’ve been, too, I think. But since Elliott had been told nothing could kill him, there was a pretty good chance he’d come through this unscathed. Perhaps it was the intense pain he was likely to experience that had him a little sillier than usual. If this process felt anything like going through the Transformation process felt like for me when I initially went through it, he was in for a pretty crappy morning.I hadn’t seen Cadence, and she still hadn’t answered my message from the night before. I figured she was busy and would likely be a little late because she has a tendency to come in a few minutes after she’s supposed to be some place when she has a lot going on, but when
