For once, Cameron had managed to escape the gourds while making their way to the Last Step -- well, mostly. Their walking stick already bore a light coating of pumpkin goo, drying in the evening air as they sat on a step about 15 feet up the staircase and tried to decide whether the undoubtedly gorgeous view -- plus the possibility of supernatural encounters -- was worth the steep price of climbing all the steps to the top.
Then came the commotion at the base of the stairway. The first thing Cam thought was Oh, great, now I'll have to deal with them on the way down. Then they recognized Wessex and realized that they should probably lend a hand. As ridiculous as it seemed for Cam to offer Wessex help in battle when she was the Wraith, famed General of the Hollowed Grounds, and they were just ... Cam, who lied about being on a swim team to get out of PE all through high school.
"Hey," Cam said, coming down the stairs to where Wessex was coming up. "Want to borrow my stick? It's pretty sturdy."
