Army cots were not as comfortable as the bed Jo had been sleeping in back at Adrian’s house, but it was a lot more comfortable than trying to sleep on the plane. She’d had to excuse herself a few hours into the storytelling. Unlike Guardians and some Hunters, she just couldn’t stay up all night. A few of the other Hunters were sleeping in the tent she was in, including Ashley, but the Guardians would likely stay up all night. Knowing Cadon, he’d stay out there with their dad and make himself the good twin, the one who was interested in what their father had to say, the one who would take advantage of every second he had to spend with the Guardian leader, whole Jo was the weakling. With the scratchy blanket up over her shoulder, Jo closed her eyes and forced the world away. She’d always been pretty good at falling asleep without much effort. Even though she knew the next

Figuring out what her dad had meant by there was a chance he might be the one who kept him from coming back from the Blood Moon Portal wasn’t going well. No matter how much thought she put to it, she couldn’t come up with a logical explanation for what he could mean. It was driving her crazy. But then, she wasn’t about to ask him to explain himself further, either. After a couple of hours of essentially sitting in the copilot’s seat and doing nothing, barely even speaking, she decided it would be better for her dad to have the opportunity to talk with one of his friends.“Do you want me to see if Jamie or Elliott want to come up here?” she asked, hoping she sounded nonchalant and not frustrated.“Sure,” Aaron said. “But… do you think we can trust Ell

Jo had somehow managed to stay awake for the entire ride from the airport to Adrian’s house. It was a sort of a miracle; she was so used to falling asleep every time she got into a vehicle any more. Of course, all that meant was that as soon as she got out of the SUV, she was tired and wanted to go to sleep.There was no time for that, though. Lucas was waiting for them, apparently with his hand on the door. The second the vehicles stopped, Adrian’s front door was flung open, and the Souled Vampire came out. His expression was something between relieved and agitated.Everyone got out and headed inside, Lucas greeting everyone but paying particular attention to the people he hadn’t seen in a really long time--Aaron, Jamie, and Ashley. It was clear that he knew all of them to some extent, though. Jo understood the history between her dad and Luc

“Where the hell are they?”Jo wasn’t surprised that the first voice she heard over her IAC was Elliott’s. As soon as they’d walked into the mine, after Brandon had blasted the door down with the bazooka and the dust had cleared, they’d all been expecting to be rushed by a barrage of Vampires.Instead, they were walking into a cave that appeared to be empty. The chamber they were standing in was relatively small, compared to the other mines they’d been in, but there were a lot of hallways shooting off in every direction. It reminded Jo of the mine they’d been in where the Vampires had lured them in and then blasted the hell out of them with that stupid bomb that had buried Cassidy in a ton of debris.She didn’t get the impression that that’s what was going o

The Vampire Queen wasn’t too  far down the hall from where Jo was headed. She could feel the power rolling off of the bloodsucker, causing her stomach to twist into knots and her trigger finger to itch. It would take more than a few bullets to kill Holland, though.She had a few tools that might be able to help her, but nothing that was likely to completely take the bitch out of commission. All she could do was hope that her aunt got there in time, and that when she did, she was strong enough to take Holland out this time.Heather was also on her way, but the other Hybrid was farther away. She’d been in one of the hallways that didn’t connect and had had to go back and loop around. She’d be there in a few minutes, but if Jo kept going at her current speed, she’d be there first with no back up.
