Vanessa shook her head. No one would ever know the sacrifice that Catty had made to save the world, and that made her angry and sad her emotions mixed wildly. She looked up at the moon and yelled at Selene. "It's not fair!"

She had the strangest feeling that the shadow was alive, watching her.

Then, with a burst of excitement, Catty asked, "Do you remember how much fun we had at Planet Bang?" She didn't wait for an answer. "Let's go. Please. I feel like getting glammed up and dancing."

"Go," Stanton said grumpily, surprising them both by having regained consciousness. "I need quiet."

"See? Stanton's okay," Catty said. "Let's go have some fun."

An '81 Oldsmobile sped down the street. Music pounded from inside, a heavy techno beat that vibrated through Vanessa and made the Followers turn. The car swerved, and its wheels bounced over the curb and onto the sidewalk. The bumper plowed through the inky shadows. Hellish screams filled the night as the shape-shifters scattered, only to return and hover in a menacing cloud.

Tymmie dropped the hamburger and held on to Vanessa. She wrenched herself free from his grip and ran toward the car. Spectral hands tried to catch her by the feet, but she hurtled over them.

The passenger-side door flew open.

"Get in!" Jimena yelled.

Vanessa threw herself onto the front seat and shut the door before the shape-shifters could sweep inside.

Lachesis: “Unrequited love is my favorite curse to give a human: to let them love and not have their love returned. How they wrestle with that one!”

Klotho: “The sleepless nights…”

Atropos: “Sometimes I cut their life threads early just to end their foolish misery.”

Vanessa: “Do you remember when you snuck into my bedroom that first time? I thought you were so weird. You scared me to--”

Serena: “Don’t reminisce. That’s what people do before they die.”
