Haunted
““We need to get out of here. I’m sure they’ll spot the fire in the village. We can’t be here when they come to see what happened.”She steps back. “Where are we to go?”I take her hand and lead her back to and across the road, going as quickly as I can. I feel the broken bone begin to knit, but the process would be much less painful if I could just stop and let the magic of vampiric healing work unfettered.

My friends are not far. We need to get to them as quickly as possible.”She frowns but I turn away and keep going deeper into the brush. Already I hear the rumble of a motor approaching from the direction of the village. Adelita can’t hear it, but I can. If I were by myself, I’d wait and see who they sent out. See if the fire coaxed Santiago from his hiding place. But I can’t risk Adelita’s safety.MoreLess
