My intention was to tie up Brandon, magically enchant his bindings, and go to bed. My mind was weary and there was a lot to think about. I figured if we warded and gagged him we would be okay.

Gunner apparently had other ideas.

“Why is Rooster on my front porch?” I demanded as I exited the bathroom.

Gunner was already on his way to the front door. “Why do you think?”

“But ... .” I looked down at my sleep outfit and frowned. I didn’t go for fancy nighties or the like, but I also preferred not sleeping in a bra. I crossed my arms over my chest and frowned as Gunner swept open the door. “You could’ve warned me.”

The look he shot me was odd. “You didn’t think we were going to leave him tied to a chair while we were sleeping, did you?”

“Um ... yeah. I thought I would try to free him tomorrow.”

“Well, you can still try to free him, but we can’t keep him here. The cabin is too small and ... it’s weird to have him out here while we’re sleeping.”

I was instantly suspicious. “You just don’t want him listening in case you decide to get romantic.”

“There is that.” Gunner winked as he pulled open the door. It was his attempt at lightheartedness, but it was a lame effort. He was obviously worried about his friend.

Rooster wasn’t exactly happy when he strolled through the door. “Can’t you guys go to bed like normal people at least one night a week?” he groused.

“Hey, this isn’t our fault,” Gunner countered. “We were coming back to crash when ... well, I’m not sure what happened.” He nodded to me. “Scout took him out.”

“Wait ... he’s dead?” Rooster lifted his hand to still us. “I thought he was still alive.”

“Oh, he’s still alive,” I replied. I felt on display in my tiny sleep outfit. “He’s a half-vampire. We have to keep him restrained until we can cure him.”

“Uh-huh.” Rooster didn’t look convinced. “And have you ever done that?”

I shook my head. “No, but how hard can it be?”

Rooster muttered something that sounded like “famous last words.” It was late and he was obviously wiped but because the day had decided to throw another curve at us, he had no choice but to deal. “Where is he?”

“Scout tied him to a chair in the kitchen,” Gunner replied. “She warded the ropes so he can’t move.”

“Well, that’s something.”

“He’s kind of mad,” Gunner added.

“Hey, he’ll live.” I was in no mood to feel sorry for the guy who had come to kill us. Whether Gunner had gotten far enough to put that together, I couldn’t say. I had no doubt that was Brandon’s intention. The vampire had found him sometime after dark and decided to enlist him as a weapon ... or maybe he’d been grooming him from the start. He was already pale the day we tracked him down to inform him of Honey’s death. There was only one reason to fixate on Brandon, and we were it.
