Cindy removed the headset, donning a mischievous smile. She loved seeing the frightened look on Emma’s face. The image of the brides in her mind’s eye, blood dripping from their mouths, onto their white dresses, was beautiful.

Travis nodded, “Me and the girls stopped by the high school a while ago. Found many cheerleaders in the locker room.” He winked.

Cindy smiled, “Oh, that’s excellent. We have a small legion for our bidding?”

“We do.”
