Halloween has always been a festive time for the residents of Blair Bluff Estates. It was one of the few times that the entire addition participated in the events. Kids could go door to door trick or treating, and the adults gathered at someone's house for a large block party. A few years back, the high school and college students started having a party of their own. Usually it involved some form of cloak and dagger type adventures to add to the fun. This year, Brenda, a senior in college, set the theme: Vampires vs. Vampire Hunters. This meant that either you went costumed as a vampire, or you wore your own costume and were a hunter. The residents thought it was a great theme, rules were set, and sides were divided.
Sonya had decided on a costume way back over the summer, so in keeping with the theme, had chosen to be a hunter. She was a junior at the same college as Brenda, but kept her distance. Brenda was a cheerleader, and a sorority member. She demanded attention and usually got it. Brenda was large and athletic, standing five foot eight and weighing around 140 pounds, with dark brown hair and eyes to match. She was an attractive woman with a dominating personality. Sonya was almost her opposite, standing at only five foot, four inches and lucky to weigh 110 pounds. But what made Sonya steer clear of Brenda was her other features. Sonya had light blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, a trait that most of the men on campus craved. She was also well proportioned, drawing glances from most guys, no matter what she wore. Brenda, though well built, was lacking in the sensuality that practically oozed from Sonya.
Up to the Halloween weekend, Brenda had bumped into Sonya a couple times and made a few snide comments, which were ignored. Sonya was not involved in real sports, she worked out infrequently, and had nothing to do with sororities. Unknown to Sonya was her popularity on campus, based entirely on her looks. Brenda despised it and tried to spread rumors that Sonya was gay. This backfired when the lesbian population warmed up to Sonya and many men set about trying to convert her to the straight and narrow, or at least get her back into "bi" status.
Sonya had decided before coming home for Halloween that she was going to drop a jealousy bomb on Brenda by way of her costume. She had found it accidentally on clearance at a novelty store. It was a superhero costume made of vinyl that fit her like a second skin, zipping up the back from tailbone to neck. It was lavender and white, and came complete with a lavender cape and spandex gloves. The costume also had a tacky mask, so she replaced it with a silver headband. Sonya purchased a pair of white knee high heeled boots to complete the outfit. If anyone asked, she would have mental powers as her superhero abilities. Sonya figured that no matter what Brenda would wear as a vampire, the comments concerning costumes were going to have Sonya's name in it to make her mad. She figured it would be worth the trouble of squeezing into the costume.

It was now around 9:30 and the hunt has gone pretty well. Sonya, and a few high school friends had managed to slay a dozen vampires using super-soakers loaded with "holy water." The people removed from the fight went over to Max's house to partake in the "deadman's" party. Max always has his parent's house set up for the major party following the events of the evening.
Sonya and company were making their way over to the Danner estate, which they learned was the hideout for the vampires. The Danner place was huge, with a patio large enough to be a dance floor and a pool in back. The pool even had a pool house that was used as a changing room, or a guest room for summer time visitors. The last victims they "tortured" before sending them into the next world confessed that there were still around a hundred or so vampires partying at the Danner estate. Sonya looked back at her team. She had a cop, a gypsy dancer, and a cyborg warrior as her backup. Tony, the cop suggested that they split up and try to take down some of the vampires that might be distanced from the rest of the group. He referred to it as midnight sniping. Jenna, the dancer wasn't following his idea very well, so Sonya suggested that Jenna and herself would sneak around back and possibly make a distraction. Tony agreed and the two teams split up.
Making their way to the back gate wasn't hard and the girls hadn't encountered any of the bad guys yet. Both girls looked the area over. They could see a few of the vampires out dancing to a loud techno song, but most of the view was obstructed by the pool house.
"Let's go in up to the edge of the pool house, spray the dancers and run out to where Tony and Jim were going to hide." Sonya suggested.
"I really don't want to go in there." Jenna said. "Every girl they have captured was sent to Max's with a hickey on her neck."
"I know, a supposed vampire bite." Sonya wasn't thrilled about that either. "How about you go in and spray them down and I'll guard the gate door?" asked Jenna.
"Yeah, that will do," Sonya agreed after a moment's thought.
Sonya pulled open the gate door and slipped in. She snuck up to the corner of the pool house and peered around the corner. There were around twenty or so vampires out dancing, and a few sitting at one of the patio tables. Sonya stepped back, primed the super-soaker, and then stepped around the corner and began to spray everyone she could. After a few seconds she started to hear various, "What the�" and "Where is that coming from?" It was soon followed with motion from the dry people along with shouts of, "There she is!" and "Get her!"
