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.
âWe welcome the living as much as we love the dead,â he offered in a deadpan voice. âWe do not judge either in the halls of the Vampire Emporium.â
Zanderâs eyes went wide when he caught sight of Pascal in his crushed velvet cape. âI need one of those.â
âThe cape?â Jared asked blankly.
âAnd the throne.â Zander was breathless. âAll heâs missing is a wand. Oh, and a crown. Actually, he could use some heeled boots and some nice cufflinks, too.â
Harper shot her best friend a dubious look. âYou might want to wipe the drool off your chin.â
âHeâs awesome,â Zander insisted. He looked positively awestruck. âHeâs also reading an ancient magic book, because when the sun goes down, heâs going to race into the night and save the world from the evil thatâs encroaching.â
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 wasnât the key to some magical rescue mission. On top of that, as a vampire, Pascal had unbelievable hearing. There wasnât a word of the conversation that heâd missed.
âHeâs supposed to be a vampire,â Jared pointed out. âHeâs not a superhero.â
âHeâs both,â Ofelia countered as she stepped forward, sending the man in question a soft smile. âHeâs 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 didnât stop until he was certain I was safe.â
âOh, heâs a romantic superhero,â Zander enthused.
âWell, heâs brave and true,â Ofelia countered. âI think youâre giving him too much credit, though.â She strode to Pascalâs throne and plucked the book he pretended to read from his lap. Sure enough, an US Weekly tumbled from between the pages. âWho are you obsessing about this week? Is it still Brad and Jen?â
Pascal made a face. âTheyâve been over for years. Even I donât care about them any longer. Iâm much more interested in Miley and Liam.â
Ofelia made a face. âWhy would you care about them? Itâs not as if youâre a fan of Mileyâs music.â
âDefinitely not. Her hairstyle is atrocious, too. I mean ... a mullet? I miss the days when having a bad hairstyle was a deadly offense.â
âMe, too,â Zander intoned. âThe mullet is the worst thing ever invented. And the female mullet? Itâs a crime against fashion.â
Pascal smirked at the exuberant man. âI see you brought friends. I canât help being intrigued, especially since the rumors on the street have you chasing a new foe.â
âThe new foe is why weâre here,â Ofelia said. âWe need your help.â She launched into the tale, leaving nothing out. When she was finished, Pascal was thoughtful. âSo, I was hoping we could raid your dreamcatcher collection.
