Chapter Twelve

Max couldn’t place his finger on it, but something had changed with Honey. She should have been scared out of her wits. He’d expected to find her in a catatonic state, shocked, as in pooped in her pants shocked, and demanding to be taken back to the bed and breakfast, or maybe even to the airport.

She, as well as everyone in the search party, was still covered with dried paint—still wearing their Zombie and Slayer T-shirts, but she didn’t seem to be in a hurry to go back to her room and get cleaned up.

She cuddled in his arms in front of the bonfire and laughed and tried to talk over whoever was speaking.

Instead of ghost stories, people shared zombie stories, and Honey claimed she not only saw and smelled a real one—he supposedly stank of blood and rotten flesh, but also she met a beautiful female gypsy vampire who was about to suck her blood.

“They’re not fake vampires and zombies. They’re real,” she proclaimed, standing to her feet.

“We’ve been told by Hailey to tell outsiders they’re real,” one of the men said. “But we know they’re really human reenactors.”

“Oh, yeah?” Honey got in the man’s face, showing her belligerent side. “The two I met felt real. The vampire tried to bite me. She tried to turn me into a vampire. She told me once bitten, there’s no going back.”

“Yeah, well, I’ll have to admit they’re really good at what they do,” Hailey said, scanning the crowd. “But let’s not get all freaked out. They’re bringing lots of money into Sapphire Falls and it’s a good thing.”

“Not if they’re hungry.” Honey swirled her Mason jar to mix the spices in her drink. “If they’re hungry, they might cause big trouble.”

“Who told you they’re hungry?” Phoebe asked, slurping on her Booze.

“I sensed the woman vampire was starving, but when I told her about the zombie, she didn’t make a move to find him.”

“That’s because zombie blood is dead blood, and they don’t like it,” someone answered her. “Same way zombies won’t eat undead meat. Face it. We, red-blooded farmers are steak for them.”

“So, we’re going to just sit here and let them feast on us?” one of the women cried out. “I say we attack at dawn.”

Seemed the more Borcher’s Booze people consumed, the crazier their talk.

“No, vampires go back into their coffins at dawn,” Phoebe said. “I say we strike now.”

“I’ve an idea.” Honey jumped up and down, flapping her hands. “How about we set up a trap for them? We still have our paintball guns, right? Let’s tag them with fluorescent paint so we can see them in the dark.”

“Great idea,” Phoebe said. “I’ve got everything in Joe’s truck. Let’s pass them out.”

“Are you going to be the lure?” Hailey asked Honey. “Since you almost became a tasty snack.”

“Actually, I think all the beefcake around here should be the lures.” Honey raised her glass of Booze. “Who here agrees with me?”

All the female voices hooted and hollered.
