    “ On the
ground!”   
    “ No,
it’s a Phantom!”   
    Santino bared his teeth
and leapt into the carpeted hallway. Vampires, ghost, phantoms,
whatever they called him, pretty soon it would mean nothing. Now,
the blood… Well, that meant everything to
Santino.   
     
     
     

7.
    Fae and the Latin
Wonders   
     
     
    The streets were full due
to the weekend’s extra traffic flow. As the party of three left the
movie theater and joined the crowd, they felt a sense of
unity.   
    “ Too bad
Kurma didn’t wanna come out with us,” said Fae, Kurma's mom, Fae.
“Either she wants to be with Santino again, or she thinks I’m an
embarrassment to her.”   
    Fae was five foot seven
with long, wavy hair dyed burnt orange. She kept her hair long and
thick because she got more attention with it that way and Fae was
all about attention. Her   eyebrows were pencil thin, and
she always kept her lips painted a bright red. She had semi-dark
chocolate-colored eyes and long, full lashes.   
    When Fae was young she’d
had a strict upbringing, and now she had the opportunity to be who
she wanted to be. Kurma didn’t like this, and often tried to drift
away from the family while on outings. In contrast, Fae loved Kurma
for who she was, and never felt embarrassed when Kurma had her fits
of depression or OCD, so she didn’t see why Kurma couldn’t accept
her the way she was. Yes, Fae was a little flamboyant; she wore
tight clothes and chain-smoked with the best of them, but she was
still a good mother, or so she thought.   
    “ Which
one is it, boys?” asked Fae.   
    The twins peered at their
mom with a guilty look. They didn’t want to give up Kurma’s secret.
She had told them she was planning a special night for Santino.
Inis, the older twin, had bet that meant she was going to let him
get to third base. Inis thought Kurma was a control freak and a
prude, but she was slowly letting herself be happy and normal.
Allie, the younger twin and the one who was closer to Kurma, bet
she was going all the way with Santino. He knew Kurma liked this
new life she was leading as the popular girl in her senior year
with the most popular guy on her arm. And, Allie knew once Kurma
made her mind up about something, it was as good as
hers.   
    However, the twins
couldn’t let that secret slip. They were the younger brothers, and
Kurma had trained them to go by the brother-sister code: thou shalt
not snitch on one another, and she who punishes my brother or
sister is my enemy. The twins and their sister had always lived by
these two rules.   
    “ Mami,
you know that right now she’s up there lying next to Santino, all
hugged up. It’s nothing to do with you. Trust me,” said Allie. “You
know how you females do when you get a boyfriend. The
saying   missing in action   aint got nothing on the
Rosales women.”   
    Fae laughed at her boys.
They were always bringing up her and their father’s relationship.
For a time Fae had given up a lot to make it work with their dad;
he, on the other hand, had taken a lot and more, and still left Fae
with nothing. All she could do was laugh at the
pain.   
    “ Rosales
women my butt. I just hope she doesn’t make the same mistake I
did.”   
    “ Hey, I
know you’re not calling us a mistake,” Inis joked. “All this
goodness? You must not know. They don’t call us the Latin Wonders
at school for nothing!”   
    Fae laughed out loud at
her son. “In your dreams.”   
    Inis said, “If you were my
age, you would try to get with this, don’t deny
it.”   
    Fae laughed again and
said, “Eeeww, you’re creeping me out. I’m your mother, not some
little groupie!”   
    “ Yeah,
and don’t you forget it, Mami. Next time we go out, you’d better
act like it and put on some bigger clothes.” Allie played around
with his mother, poking her in the ribs with his finger, tickling
her neck and back.   
    “ Whatever you say, Papi,” replied Fae. She knew
