336 Chapter 336

As the Vampire Queen closed in on my sister, Elliott, and Aaron, I watched through my boyfriend's IAC. Brandon pulled the SUV to a screeching halt at the end of the alleyway. "Dad! Come on!" Brandon shouted through the open passenger side window. The four of them were in the SUV in a half-second, and Brandon was pulling away. I don't know if Cadence was aware that Holland had just entered the alleyway from the other end as the SUV's tires smoked down the road.

"What do I do?" Brandon asked me.

I could see that there was no way he could get out without running over a few Vampires. The ranks had closed in tightly, and there'd be no going around. "You have a line of Vampires in the road ahead of you. Do you see them?"

"Yeah. How do I go around?"

"You don't."

"I don't?"

"Nope. Can't."

"Okay."

"Hit the gas and pray they scatter."

"Right."
