PASCAL FONTAINE SAT IN HIS usual chair, which looked more like a garish throne than anything else, and flipped through a heavy tome when Ofelia led her small group into his store.

“We welcome the living as much as we love the dead,” he offered in a deadpan voice. “We do not judge either in the halls of the Vampire Emporium.”

Zander’s eyes went wide when he caught sight of Pascal in his crushed velvet cape. “I need one of those.”

“The cape?” Jared asked blankly.

“And the throne.” Zander was breathless. “All he’s missing is a wand. Oh, and a crown. Actually, he could use some heeled boots and some nice cufflinks, too.”

Harper shot her best friend a dubious look. “You might want to wipe the drool off your chin.”

“He’s awesome,” Zander insisted. He looked positively awestruck. “He’s also reading an ancient magic book, because when the sun goes down, he’s going to race into the night and save the world from the evil that’s encroaching.”

Ofelia had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing. She knew darned well what was tucked away inside the pages of the book and it wasn’t the key to some magical rescue mission. On top of that, as a vampire, Pascal had unbelievable hearing. There wasn’t a word of the conversation that he’d missed.

“He’s supposed to be a vampire,” Jared pointed out. “He’s not a superhero.”

“He’s both,” Ofelia countered as she stepped forward, sending the man in question a soft smile. “He’s saved me a few times, including when I was little and Hurricane Katrina had my father and me cut off from safety. He walked miles in torrential rains, the streets flooding, and he didn’t stop until he was certain I was safe.”

“Oh, he’s a romantic superhero,” Zander enthused.

“Well, he’s brave and true,” Ofelia countered. “I think you’re giving him too much credit, though.” She strode to Pascal’s throne and plucked the book he pretended to read from his lap. Sure enough, an US Weekly tumbled from between the pages. “Who are you obsessing about this week? Is it still Brad and Jen?”

Pascal made a face. “They’ve been over for years. Even I don’t care about them any longer. I’m much more interested in Miley and Liam.”

Ofelia made a face. “Why would you care about them? It’s not as if you’re a fan of Miley’s music.”

“Definitely not. Her hairstyle is atrocious, too. I mean ... a mullet? I miss the days when having a bad hairstyle was a deadly offense.”

“Me, too,” Zander intoned. “The mullet is the worst thing ever invented. And the female mullet? It’s a crime against fashion.”

Pascal smirked at the exuberant man. “I see you brought friends. I can’t help being intrigued, especially since the rumors on the street have you chasing a new foe.”

“The new foe is why we’re here,” Ofelia said. “We need your help.” She launched into the tale, leaving nothing out. When she was finished, Pascal was thoughtful. “So, I was hoping we could raid your dreamcatcher collection.
