The backyard of the Summers house is washed in the cold, silver light of a full moon. Elongated shadows creep across the untidy lawn. A small, hunched figure is darting near the wooden fence. You let your delivery boxes—a jumble of wooden stakes and silver crucifixes—fall from your hands with a clatter and leap over the fence, adrenaline sharp in your throat. A demon? The silhouette clarifies into the shape of a teenage girl. Dawn Summers. She goes perfectly still, caught, a fistful of glittering jewelry clutched against her chest, the bright paper tags still attached, fluttering like guilty flags in the night air.
