Our poor kids.

Running for their lives. Again.

Having to convince adults there’s something wicked going on in Cauldron’s Cove. Again.

After sprinting (seriously, the foursome should try out for track with all this running they’ve been doing) to Darius’s house, they don’t even pause, but run inside and lock the doors behind them.

They don’t even notice that they’re covered in a combination of dirt and black zombie guts, and smell like rotting flesh.

In short, they are a hot mess as they are about to see the mayor of Cauldron’s Cove.

But to Darius, she’s just Mom.

“Mom!” Darius calls out as he runs into the living room.

Darius’s mother is dressed in a smart black pantsuit, but with a shirt decorated with cartoon witches—as when one is the mayor of Cauldron’s Cove, they have to dress the part: sensible, but with a wink to the town’s love of all things witchy.

As long as it’s in the form of fake-broomstick bumper cars at Broom Broom Speedway or spiced pumpkin scones at Witches’ Brew and SandWitch Shop. Not if it’s real. Especially not if it’s deadly.

“Mom!” Darius calls out again.

His mother holds up her finger and scowls at him, which causes the others to stop in their tracks. We’ve all seen that look from parents. The you-better-be-seen-not-heard-because-I’ve-got-important-adult-stuff-going-on-and-my-patience-is-already-wearing-thin look.

“I just don’t understand,” she says into the phone as she curls a finger around one of her locs that she usually wears in a high bun. But once the mayor gets home, she lets her hair down, literally. “Where could they go? The police have looked everywhere—the woods, the levee—we’ve knocked on every door. People don’t just disappear.”

“We know what happened!” Darius screams out.

His mother’s head snaps to him, and she gives him another look.

The one that you know you’re in so much trouble it’s best to run into your room and hide under your covers. Yeah, that bad.

There aren’t many things worse than being in trouble with your parents, but being eaten by a zombie is definitely one of them. So Darius refuses to give up.

“We can help! You need to listen to us!” Darius’s voice is in hysterics.

I mean, the dude just killed a zombie and ran for his life, so do you blame him?

(Me neither.)

Mayor Washington puts her hand over the phone. “Darius Reginald Washington, you get your—” But his mom stops when she takes in the state of the children. Her eyebrows knit with concern as she talks into the phone. “I’m going to have to call you back.”

She hangs up and walks over to her son. “What on earth happened to you?”

“It’s zombies!” Darius exclaims.

I mean, he probably should’ve warmed her up to the idea, but we don’t have time to mess around. Ergo, Darius goes all in. And I mean all in.

“It’s Ann Wilder. She’s a witch who cursed Cauldron’s Cove back in the 1600s when the town burned her alive, and for whatever reason the curse finally has been unleashed, and it started with Ms. Stein and these monsters she cloned from us, but we were able to destroy Ms.
