Semua Bab So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?: Bab 501 - Bab 510

I immersed myself in the hunt, hoping that thinking about catching Honey would mean I wouldn’t have to think about what Brandon had just said to me. Eliza was already out of the vehicle and moving toward the club where Honey was still chatting up those dudes by the time I was situated on the couch and back in the game. I hadn’t heard her explanation for how she knew they were there, but I was sure it was on my IAC, so I could go back and look later if I wanted to.The Hunter with Eliza was a really tall guy named Sergio who spoke in a thick accent, but I didn’t have any trouble understanding him. If I dug into her mind a little bit, I’d probably discover she was kind of in to him, at least it seemed that way. She talked to him like she thought he was hot and stood a little too close to him. Or maybe Eliza just acts like that around all guys. It made me like her even less, if that was possible, but Sergio seemed cool, the kind of guy who might come in h

I heard Honey telling Eliza she should look around her. Eliza held the Vampire down with her boot on the woman’s chest and looked up. I could feel panic welling up inside of the Guardian. She didn’t know what they were or where they came from. But when she returned her attention to Honey, she was undeterred. She’d come there to end the Vampire, and that’s what she intended to do. No matter what.“What are they?” she asked me as she focused on Honey’s neck. She was still intending to behead the Vampire, even though the creatures were still heading her direction.“I don’t know,” I admitted. “But I don’t think you should stick around and find out.” I had no idea what kind of damage these creatures could do if they were able to reach Eliza before she got out of there. Mila agreed. I heard her shouting at her team to fall back.“You’re probably rig

I tried not to think about anything disturbing so I could chill out a little bit, but nothing that came to mind was exactly settling. Not the dream I’d planted, not the reality it had come from, and certainly not the fleeting thought that Brandon had broken up with me. I definitely couldn’t dwell on that at the moment.Breathing deeply seemed to be helping. I checked my heart rate again and saw that it was falling. Normally, my resting heartbeat is slow, like 50 bpm, so it had been working a lot harder than usual. I was glad I hadn’t tried to take Eliza’s exact footage and stick it in Cadence’s mind without building it from my own memory because who knows what that might’ve done to me.I was hoping to hear from my sister soon. If it had worked, she should wake up with her heart thundering, too, though not as quickly as mine had been. Hopefully, she’d reach out soon. I could see her contacting someone else, like Aurora or Elliot

First, I needed to check in on Christian. I was hoping to just scrape the periphery of his mind again so he wouldn’t know I was there. He’d said he’d let me know when he was ready to chat, but it had been too long, and I was worried.I should’ve been worried-er. It took me a while to get to him, and when I did, there was no periphery to scrape. I had to dig down pretty deeply through layers of blackness to find him, which was more than a little alarming. It wasn’t nearly as bad as when I’d had to dig Aaron out of Holland’s web, but it wasn’t good. As soon as I stepped foot into his conscious mind, it became apparent that Christian had gotten himself into a bunch of trouble.“Christian? Where are you?” I asked, finally pulling back enough layers of darkness that I could make contact with him.“Oh, hey, Cass. Nice to hear from you. I’m in a hole. In the ground.”

I turned my attention back to Eliza, wishing I could just be done with this entire fiasco. It was sort of odd how I’d been begging to be involved and now I wanted to run away. “Sorry, Eliza. I was talking to Christian.”“Christian? You found him? Is he okay?”I didn’t want to be rude, so I stopped short of reminding her I could find anyone who had conscious thoughts. “Yes, I found him, and he’s okay. But Daunator has him stuck in a hole in the ground.”“A hole? What do you mean?”Biting back the sarcastic answer that wanted to define the word hole for her, I went another route. I could see why it might be hard to believe under the circumstances. “It’s kind of hard to describe. It’s like a really deep, dark, hole in the ground. There’s no way he can get out on his own. So he’s hoping Daunator will show up and fight him so
