Chapter 69
My bedroom door practically burst open. “Hey, girls. Whatcha doin’?”
“Why, Elliott, fancy seeing you here,” I proclaimed, staring at my sister hard, letting her think I might be on to her.
“Well, I was just in the neighborhood and thought I might drop in.” He was still standing in the doorway, leaning into the room, his broad shoulders taking up most of the space in the threshold.
“I was just asking Cadence some questions about your jobs. I was about to tell her how I’m thinking of going into the same line of work, you know, when I’m older.”
“What?” Cadence asked, looking from me to Elliott and then back again. “Cassidy, I thought you wanted to be an engineer like dad, or a doctor or something.”
I shrugged. “Plans change. Elliott, did you work at LIGHTS when our Grandma Janette worked there?”
“No,” he answered quickly, his forehe

“Why do you have to leave?” I asked, jumping up off the bed and following Elliott as he headed toward the stairs.“I told you. We’ve got work to do.” He paused in front of the stairwell.“But… seriously, it’s Christmas break.”“You know, you should turn on a television sometime, lil girl. There are things happening in this world you may want to be aware of.” He started down the stairs, and I followed.Puzzled over what in the world he might be talking about, I continued to follow him until he reached the foyer. “What kinds of things?”He shook his head at me, yet again, and turned to look at me. “Something tells me you’ll know it when you see it.”Elliott was giving me a clue. I could find out more about what they were doing from the news. I wondered what in the world I could’ve been missing this whole time. Were there news stories about va

Once I was in my room, I took a deep breath and looked out the window. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for, but I didn’t see anything. No one on the roof across the street, no noise on ours. It actually sort of made me sad. It had been comforting to know that Elliott was up there sometimes, but he wasn’t right now, and it was just as well since it was bitterly cold outside.I sat down at my desk and took a moment to reflect. I’d learned a lot from this short visit. I was no longer concerned about Elliott taking my thoughts and memories from me, but there was plenty that was still unclear to me, and sometimes writing things down helped me to organize my thoughts.Even though I hadn’t opened the notebook I’d been recording my experiences in since that night at Lucy’s house, the night that Hannah came in and stripped their memories, made Emma and Lucy tear up all of their own notes and delete everything vampire related off of the

I spent the next several days on my laptop, wishing I had someone to bounce ideas off of as I scoured the Internet looking for information about vampire hunters. I had to give it to CHENRY77; he was prolific. Scarcely a vampire site did I visit without traces of Christian’s presence. Even ones that sounded ridiculous and fake, like the, “My girlfriend and I are vampires. Do you want to be one, too? It’s super easy. You will live forever. Just call…” types of posts had his signature associated with them in some regard, often in the comments or as an administrator. I would’ve found it odd that he managed to make his presence known on so many different sorts of boards and chat rooms all across the world if I didn’t know the power of persuasion some of my sister’s friends had. I’m sure it didn’t take much for someone like Elliott to convince the creators of these message boards to surrender their upkeep to Mr. Henry.I

“Right. I hope so.” There was no way for me to tell Lucy things were never going to be normal again, not for me anyhow. And I wondered if Elliott would actually show up at my school in the next few days. I seriously doubted it. He was probably just messing with me. But if he did, well, there would go any shot of anyone thinking Cassidy’s life was back to its previous mundane existence. “What’s wrong with Emma?” I was actually a little surprised I had a chance to ask that before Lucy launched into another soliloquy.“Oh, uh, nothing,” she said, but I knew if I stayed quiet she’d tell me more. “She’s just, uh, being a little paranoid. A little more paranoid than usual.”“What? Did her mashed potatoes and turkey touch each other on her plate at Christmas dinner?” I joked. I was trying to lighten the mood, but I was actually a little concerned myself.“Ha, no,” Lucy said,

Realizing we were back on her dream now, I agreed. “It is weird, but like you said, it’s just a dream. Maybe you just happened to see all of those people on TV yesterday or something.”“I don’t think so,” Lucy said quickly, like she’d already gone through the possibilities. “And I definitely haven’t watched any scary movies or videos.”“We watched Twilight last time I was at your house,” I reminded her.“Uh, the only part about that movie that’s scary is K-Stew’s acting.”I tried not to laugh. “But it does involve vampires.”“True.”“People have been trying to figure out dreams forever, Lucy. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. Just try to forget about it, okay?”“Okay….”I glanced at the clock by my bed and saw that it was almost 10:00. “It’s j

I picked up my laptop, thinking I needed to charge it, when one of those stupid pop-up news videos came on. “It’s now confirmed that twenty-five bodies have been found in the Caribbean, all victims of the same brutal throat slashing…” the newscaster was saying. Ordinarily, I would’ve closed the tab or shut my computer, but this time, I didn’t. I held it closer and actually clicked to enlarge the video so I could see it better. Elliott had warned me to pay attention to the news, so I figured I’d better do just that.The newscaster continued. “Video footage of two of the newest victims shows them enjoying a night out at a local club just hours before their bodies were found in a rainforest area near the beach, approximately a mile from the location of the club seen here.” She stopped talking for a moment as the camera zoomed in on the footage of a man and a woman who looked to be in their early twenties drinking at a club.

The atmosphere in the hallway when I got to school was suffocating. Everyone was walking around with their heads down, like they either dreaded coming back after a long break or they were still thinking about losing two of our own. There wasn’t even the whispering and talking behind cupped hands there had been right after Drew’s death. I couldn’t help but feel like everyone was wondering who was going to be next, and there was nothing pleasant about that.Emma definitely wasn’t herself. I saw her at her locker right before first period and approached her with caution. She still jumped when I said her name. “Sorry!” I said, keeping a comfortable distance away from her. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”She glanced over each shoulder before she said, “It’s okay. I just….” She let it go. “How was your break?” We hadn’t seen each other for a while.“It was all right.

I’d shared the lab table with Emma all year, but now that we were working on our projects, Lucy also sat with us as she was in our group. Her bag was slung over the back of the chair between mine and Emma’s, and just when I was beginning to wonder where our third amiga was, she walked in, the worried expression still on her face.I didn’t even wait for her to put her stuff down. I met her in the aisle and grabbed her arm. “Emma, come here.”“But, I need to….” She tried to pull away from me. I knew she wanted to set her books down, and I knew she hated that I was touching her, but I needed my friends fixed, both of them, and there was only one person who could do that.He was telling a story as we approached, and I didn’t want to interrupt, but I also couldn’t wait too long either. “And then, wouldn’t you know it, but that bear totally left my lunchbox alone and ate every last crumb of my br
