Buffy chased the dark figure through the field, grumbling to herself. It was Halloween – all self-respecting demons were supposed to take the night off. Hadn’t this one gotten the memo?
She put on an extra burst of speed, lunged, and decapitated it with her sword. A large orange head rolled to her feet and stared up at her with empty triangular eyes. Toys spilled from a sack still gripped by the body’s hands. Confused, Buffy turned to see a small boy clutching a blanket, his lip trembling and his eyes brimming with tears.
Oh God.
She’d killed the Great Pumpkin.
