Semua Bab So You Think Your Sister's a Vampire?: Bab 511 - Bab 520

There were so many assumptions in that sentence, it made me wonder what Brandon was telling people. Or was he even speaking about it all? Maybe it had gone through the rumor mill enough that everyone had their own warped version of what had happened. I didn’t even want to think about what other people might be saying about me, especially some of the girls at training who have always thought Brandon was too good for me. “We just decided that I was too distracted right now, and I need to figure a few things out. That’s all.” I remembered that Heather had gone to Pizza Triangle with them the other night when I hadn’t, and wondered if she was thinking about going after Brandon herself. A stab of jealousy hit me right in the gut.“Uh huh,” Heather said, like she didn’t buy a word that had come out of my mouth. “I was surprised to hear he’d broken up with you. You was about all he could talk about when we was in the portal

I couldn’t really blame Christian for not wanting to stumble around in the dark, especially since he probably didn’t know for sure that what he was hearing were actually people and not something else. I thought about the creatures. Now might be a good time to bring them up. Or maybe not, since he was so agitated. “Do you think they’re people? Not something else? Are we talking a few or a couple dozen?”“I don’t know!” Yep, he was angry.I should’ve let it go but I needed an estimate. “Could you make a reasonable guess?”“If I had to, I’d say a hundred. Maybe more.”I wasn't expecting that. My mouth fell open. That was a lot of people. This situation just kept getting weirder. “Okay....”“All right. Talk to you later.”“Yeah.” It seemed odd that he didn’t w

“I was able to jump into some of the missing people’s heads to see them being turned. I figured out that there were five or six Vampires primarily responsible for turning them, or turning others who went on to turn a bunch on their own, and Mila’s team has been hunting them down and destroying them. But Mila doesn’t know I’ve been helping.” I added that part quickly, hoping that neither of them was communicating with Hannah or Aurora via IAC while I was talking. The idea that I could get in trouble for all of this wasn’t out of my mind.“Why doesn’t she know?” Cadence asked.“I ended up helping Eliza out, and she just never told them I was working with her.” I could’ve told them, I realized, but Eliza was easy enough to blame in this situation, and she owed me enough that I didn’t mind putting it on her. I couldn’t tell my sister about Christian yet. It seemed like they were going

“Anyone else want coffee?” Elliott asked, pushing up from his seat. He smiled at me, knowing I wouldn’t want any but also feeling sorry for me for an entirely different reason than the one I was currently focused on. I managed a small smile.“I’ll take a cup, if you don’t mind,” Hannah said. No one else wanted any, so Elliott headed toward the door. Mrs. Carminati has a Keurig out by her desk.“What kind?” Elliott paused with his hand on the knob.“Barista prima, please. No creamer.” Hannah smiled at him in thanks, and I let out a deep breath.“You okay?” Jamie asked me as Elliott left the room and Aaron got up to grab something off of the printer. I could’ve gotten it for him....“Yeah, fine.” He nodded but I could tell by his expression he wasn’t buying it. I was so ready for this to be over.Aurora flew in the door and rushed to her seat.

“Why don’t we see if we can track Christian’s cell phone?” Jamie came between the warring exes again. He was looking at me. “That something Emma could do, Cassidy?”“Uh, probably. I can ask her.” Emma was my best friend, after all. One of them, anyway.“I’ll ask her.” Aaron was still looking at me in a way that made me uncomfortable, and the tone in his voice conveyed that he didn’t trust me to ask my own best friend to track Christian’s phone. I wanted to be offended, but I was also intimidated. And I was beginning to realize he was right in doubting how honest I was being at the moment, though I wasn’t sure how he knew he should be. Was it his supernatural emotion-reading ability, or was there something about my expression?Aaron continued, but his eyes were on Jamie now, and it didn’t look like he wanted to spear his friend through the head, like he did me. “She&rs
