496 Chapter 496

Training was a no go the next day. My alarm went off, and I stopped it without opening my eyes, using my powers, and then buried my head back underneath the pillow. Sleep had been fleeting, and I'd tossed and turned most of the night, thinking about the missing people, the Vampires, whether or not I should contact Cadence, my fights with Brandon. And Alex.

So when I finally got up around 10:00, I had a lot of missed messages on my IAC from my friends checking on me. Aurora wanted to make sure I was okay since I hadn't gone to the gym. On Saturdays, she just works with the newer people, or the ones who really need it, and those aren't always the same people. She usually only has a handful of recruits, but I think she likes it when I'm there because we can laugh and joke around a little while the others are working out. I wasn't in any mood to cut up with her at the moment.
