Vanquishing Vampire Vixens, Part Ii

II. Allan seemed mad,”How can you even ask?!” Sol said,”All right, let’s then get to the task. Find any townspeople still somewhat hale, then go get me ladders, some boards, and some nails. “And do it quickly, there’s work to do yet, we must finish it before the sun sets.” At that Allan and Marie ran out fast, relieved that they could do something at last.
