"Your sword disrupts

"Yes"

"So why didn&039;t it &039;kill&039; Cathie?"

"I don&039;t know I&039;ve only ever killed vampires with it I tried to kill a olf once, but it just e back into a woman She was so startled she ran away froain"

"There are olves?" Cathie asked "For real?"

"You gotta be kidding h to deal with?" I bitched

"It was only the one time," Laura said defensively "I&039;m sure you&039;ll never have to meet one They&039;re rarer than vampires, I bet"

"Let&039;s for cripe&039;s sake hope so Cathie, is any of this looking familiar?"

"I only saw the house froetically "I remember what the inside looked like and the smell of the place I remember that"

"Oh, it&039;s that one" Laura pointed to a nondescript split-level on the end of the block It was tan with dark-brown trim The driveway and sidewalks had been neatly shoveled

"How do you know? Cathie, does anything ring a bell?"

"Just the shed, a dreadful sound, and looked at the nice little split-level the way I would look at a child abuser "Is it a black house? All black, even the sidewalks? Even the snow around it?"

"No," Cathie and I said in unison

"It looks black to me," Laura said simply
