Summary
Enver Gortash had told them all at recess the full story; that there was a vampire in the woods, who only came out at night, and would drink up all your blood if they caught you – and he was in fifth grade, which meant that Gale’s mother was wrong when she said there wasn’t.
“If you can find the vampire and convince them not to drink your blood, then they’ll give you whatever you want. The grown-ups just don’t want you to find the vampire before they do.”
Gale Dekarios is the exceptionally clever age of almost-seven, and he wants his mother to be happy even more than he wants a Mystra action figure. That's why he's put on his raincoat, stolen the flashlight from the kitchen, and slipped out of his bedroom window with a backpack full of peanut butter crackers and his Lathander action figure (that's missing an arm).
He's going to find the vampire in the woods, wish for his mother's troubles to be over - and maybe, just maybe, make a friend in the process.
