Giles started counting.

One for sorrow. Two for mirth.

From his place in the shadows, he could see dark shapes moving silently amongst the graves.

Three for a funeral. Four for a birth.

Vampires all, freshly dead, their bodies still bearing the sickly-sweet stench of decay, their eyes not yet accustomed to the night.

Five for heaven.

His breath quickened, his heart pounding against the confines of his chest, as they drew ever nearer.

Six for hell.

Closer. Closer.

Seven for the devil…

In the darkness, there was the sound of screaming and the scent of dust upon the midnight breeze.
