Anita dodged around people as she walked down the street. Parking in the District had been at a premium because of the number parties going on. Ever since she was a little girl she'd hated Halloween. The ghouls and monsters were too real to her. She could call them anytime she wanted and sometimes when she didn't. She'd raised too many zombies, killed too many vampires, to be impressed with the human pretenders roaming the streets and bars playing at being something they had no idea about. Coming out tonight was the last thing she'd wanted, but it was her only option since all of Jean-Claude's clubs would be packed with human and monsters alike. Jean-Claude might be able to feed well tonight but she could feel the ardeur rising and anyone she could, or would, feed from would be here.
She shook her head as she walked into Guilty Pleasures. The sheer number of people walking the streets and patroning the clubs in the Quarter must have increased five-fold. She didn't know which was scarier, the real monsters lurking around getting their kicks scaring the humans or the wide-eyed humans in costumes trying to be blasé about it all.
