Chapter Seven

‘Perfect.’ Ivy nudged Olivia in the ribs as they watched Holly settle down at a computer terminal. Almost immediately, Holly started typing furiously – almost as if she were updating something. Could it be . . . a blog ? ‘She’s on her own now. Let’s go ask her what she’s up to.’ And see exactly what she’s typing ! Ivy thought to herself.

But her twin looked utterly miserable. ‘We can’t,’ Olivia said. ‘Didn’t you see how upset she was? I think we should give her some space. When she’s ready, she might tell us what happened. I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.’

Olivia looked as though she was about to burst into tears. Ivy could tell that she knew Holly was behaving strangely, but that she couldn’t bear to admit it. But all of a sudden, Holly was looking like a serious candidate for their mystery blogger.

I can’t believe I’ve been so slow. Ivy dared a glance at her sister. But I can’t tell Olivia. Not yet. Her twin had been so impressed by Holly. Now she looked so disappointed, just because Holly had told her one lie. Ivy could only imagine how badly Olivia would react to the suggestion that Holly might actually be the blogger who’d caused the vampires so much trouble. It could turn into the biggest fight they’d ever had.

No, Ivy would need real proof before she let Olivia even suspect what she was thinking. In the meantime, though . . . Olivia is smart, Ivy thought. All I have to do is encourage her to follow the clues that she’s been ignoring. She’ll figure out the rest of it herself – and then we won’t have to fight about it !

‘You’re right,’ she said. ‘We shouldn’t bother Holly right now. Do you have your netbook on you? There might be some fun things to look at soon. You know, if Holly has photos to share.’

‘Oh! That’s a good idea.’ Olivia practically glowed with relief. ‘I bet Holly’s uploading her snaps of the book-signing right now! She’s always putting up her photos on some social networking site.’ She sat down on a bench and unzipped her shoulder bag. ‘If we take a good look at her pictures, we might find some clues to the mystery blogger. There might be a stranger lurking in the background of a shot, or something like that!’

Ivy had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes. How could Olivia be so determined to miss the obvious?

She plopped down on the bench beside Olivia. ‘What is going on?’ she groaned dramatically. ‘Why are so many people convinced that book was inspired by real vampires here in Franklin Grove?’

‘It is strange,’ Olivia agreed. ‘You guys have lived in secret all these years without attracting any trouble.’

‘So what could have gone wrong?’ Ivy said. ‘What could have changed ?’

She looked meaningfully at her sister, willing her to think it through . . . to ask herself who the newest person in town was, the one whose arrival had just happened to coincide with the blog.
