Epilogue

Rayne

“Rayne, Rayne! Guess what, guess what? I got to level eighty!”

I groggily pul the covers from over my head and squint in the early-morning (afternoon?) sunshine.

Above me, my eleven-year-old half-sister, Stormy, bounces in play, an excited expression on her freckled face. Normal y I don’t like being woken up so abruptly, but the simple fact that I’m stil alive to do it makes it a little easier to bear.

When Corbin captured me and gleeful y told me of his plan to poison me and feed me to the masses like a sacrificial lamb, I figured that was just about the end of me. After al , there was no way the Consortium was going to care about one troublemaking vampire when they had the whole vampire race at stake. But I underestimated the determination of my dear, dear twin sister—who seriously is a lot more amazing than people give her credit

for—single-handedly

dissolving

the

mastermind plot without kil ing a single innocent.

Truly genius, Sunny.

Sunny. Her name brings a blood tear to my eye. I wonder how she is. What she and Magnus are doing. They couldn’t tel me where they were going, of course, in case the Consortium resorted to hypnosis or mind-control tricks to make me spil .

“Come see!” Stormy commands, grabbing my arm and trying to drag me out of bed. She, of course, doesn’t know the danger Sunny’s in. Her mother, Heather, told her my sister simply had to go away on a trip.

“Okay, okay!” I cry, giving in with a laugh. I crawl out of bed and al ow myself to be dragged over to the computer where she’s logged into World of Warcraft. It used to be my favorite video game, but lately with al that’s been going on I’ve had little time to play it. And now my eleven-year-old stepsister has managed to out-level me.

She proudly displays her tricked-out level-eighty mage. “And look, this robe I made myself,” she boasts. “It’s total y leet.”

I ruffle her hair. “That’s awesome,” I tel her. “I’m jealous.”

“Do you want to play with me for a bit?” she asks, looking up at me with pleading eyes. “None of my friends are online.”

I glance at my watch. Ugh. I slept later than I thought. “Sorry,” I say. “I’ve got a training session at one. And Teifert hates when I’m late.” Stormy looks at me with admiration. “So cool.” She whistles low. “I wish someday I could become a slayer like you and Mom.”

“Wel , study hard and maybe you wil ,” I tease.

“And play lots of WoW. I’m sure that helped me.”

“Ooh, good idea!”

I say my good-byes and head through the condo and out the door. I’m meeting Mr. Teifert at the gym in a half hour. The vice president of Slayer Inc.

temporarily relocated to Las Vegas so he could continue my training. Since I’m between missions, I’ve actual y been working on getting my slayer instructor certification so I can teach other slayers or maybe even open up my own academy someday.
