“That’s enough.” Halverson put up his hand. “Each to his own, that’s what I always say. You think

the way I eat is an abomination. We think the same of you. I’m not even going to exsanguinate you, Miss Adad. Or you, Faustin.”

“In a couple of generations, you will be animals,” Mikhail said with absolute certainty.

“We’ll see about that.” Halverson took his wife by the arm and popped a toothpick in his mouth.

“We’ll just see.”

The vamp named Frank started to slink away.

“Enjoy yourself while you can, you sneaking rat bastard!” Alya called after him.

Frank stopped and turned around. He pointed at her, opened his mouth, then closed it again. His face

flushed purple and he began to shout. “No more high and mighty threats from you, your royal bitchiness.

No. It’s over. Sometimes the little guy wins. Like now. So…so…fuck you.” He gave her the finger,

stepping backward as he did, ruining the effect.

Alya said, “I should have killed you for biting Jason Biggs.”

“You should have, ’cause I did it on purpose,” Frank said. “But I gotta go. Sun’s coming up. That

always makes me a little, you know, edgy.”

Frank left his field of vision. Mikhail heard a door slam shut behind him.

Alya said to the Halversons, “I’ll give you all one more chance. Let us go, and we’ll call it even.

Force me to take matters into my own hands, and I won’t answer for the consequences.”

Halverson laughed. “You’ve got a pair of brass balls on you, missy, I’ll give you that. But nope, best

you both just die quietly, so we can sort out our own business in peace.”

Anna added, “Better than war, you know?”

Alya said nothing more. Mikhail said nothing. He wanted them to go, but they just stood around.

Apparently they intended to stay out there until the last possible moment. Close to writhing with

impatience, he forced himself to be still and profoundly uninteresting. They had to leave. If they left, Alya might be able to escape. The awkward silence grew and grew until the parents began to look like they might go inside, but then the boy plopped himself on the corner of the table.

“So, does that A on your chest stand for asshole?”

Alya let loose a long, trilling cry, as wild as a coyote’s, but far more menacing. Mikhail’s hair stood on end. The Halversons instinctively moved closer together. At the end of it, Alya gulped a huge mouthful of air and began to chant—pray—rant—he didn’t know what, because it was in Arabic. It sounded like a

curse. Her chains creaked and groaned as she rocked against them, her words fast and husky with emotion.

Anna Halverson mustered a weak smile. “Well, time for us to go in.”

Mikhail twisted to see Alya. She leaned against her chains, snarling and spitting as she screamed, her

eyes burning. He’d go inside, too.

“Wish it could have been otherwise,” Halverson said to him.
