Semua Bab So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?: Bab 491 - Bab 500

I was done and ready to go, but Brandon’s hand pulled me back to the couch as I started to stand up.I wanted to yank away from him, but I calmed slightly when he said, “Okay, okay, okay. I’m sorry. If that’s what you’ve been working on, I can see why that would take a lot of attention.” I figured he was honing in on the army part now since he had to have known I’d been focused on Daunator, unless he also doesn’t listen when people talk to him—like me that night. “I didn’t mean to be rude. I was just, like I said before, worried about you.”For someone who didn’t mean to be rude, his tone hadn’t quite returned to its normal level yet, but I decided if he could apologize, I could calm down. “Don’t be. I’m fine.”He wasn’t buying it. He was reading my face and knew that I wasn’t okay. And that had more to do with Guardians than Vampires. But I wa

My pondering was interrupted when Christian plunked his coffee down on the table and slid into the booth across from me. He’d ordered the smaller size. Peewee or something? As tired as he looked, I thought maybe he should’ve gone with Largo. “Rough night?” he asked, and I wondered if maybe I also looked like I could’ve used a Largo.“You could say that.” I definitely wasn’t about to go over my argument with Brandon with this guy. I ran my hands through my hair, wanting to get on with it but not knowing where to start.“Man, who would’ve ever thought even a week ago you’d be sneaking out in the middle of the night to see me, huh?”I didn’t like the implications of his comment and swallowed hard before I said, “You don’t have to make it sound like that.” Like we were on a date or something. Barf.“Like what?”As if he didn’t know. I rolle

“And what do you need that I haven’t given you?” I asked Christian. I wanted to be sure we were on the same page. If I was going to be involved in this, it needed to have at least a small chance of working or else I was going to bow out before I got too involved..“Can you get me the names and visuals for those Vampires you said were turning the others? Last known locations, etc.”That was easy enough. “I already have that.” I searched through the data I’d compiled and pulled up the spreadsheet he’d just described. While I was working, I was staring at the table, but for a moment, I had the odd sensation that someone was looking at me. I glanced up, but Christian was concentrating on his coffee. My eyes went around the room. I didn’t see anyone. It was odd, but I shook it off and sent him the spreadsheet, pulling my focus back to what we were discussing. “That’s the best I could do using what littl

With a sigh, I concentrated harder on Christian himself, hoping I could pick up on his thoughts without actually leaping into his head. It was difficult at first. Like trying to tune a television using those big rabbit ear antennas. I had to keep searching around for a signal. Eventually, I found it, though, and tuned it in enough that I could get a picture of Christian driving an SUV through the mountains. He was getting close to the point where he’d leave the vehicle and get out and search on foot. Satisfied that I had a decent idea of what was going on, I shifted.It was not my intention to try to leap into Daunator’s head. Doing so would be hazardous. I could tip him off that Christian was on the way. I could let him know we’d been discussing coming over there but had decided not to, which would be an indicator that what he was doing was working and he should keep at it. No, I wasn’t going to try to get into Daunator’s thoughts, but I did wan

The scrutinizing look on Brandon’s face was more than a little bothersome. “Where? Where is there a hunt going on tonight?”I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Not at him but at the fact that I probably wasn’t even supposed to know. “In the forbidden land, the place we shall not speak of.”Brandon was with me now. He shook his head and asked, “The Czech Republic?”“Close. Hungary. So... I’m sorry, but I need to be ready in case they need me.” They would definitely need me, especially if Mila was under the impression that Eliza was able to get the necessary information to track Honey without knowing her source. I didn’t like being so rude to Brandon, but he didn’t have all of the information I did, so he had no way of knowing just how important it was that I was ready when Eliza called.He wasn’t walking away, though. “Why in the world would you be helping the tea
