Bella - still up, reading a book on miscellaneous demons, it's not like high school is particularly important - is pleased that her porch lights work as intended. Sometime if she doesn't feel like patrolling she might sit very still on her porch and try to look edible.
She inspects the crossbow bolts. They could have been tampered with. Contact poison, magical termites that will have them falling apart when she needs them - she read about something like that recently - any number of things.
She hooks the ribbon with a coathanger and burns them in the back yard, the next morning before school. She has plenty, making more doesn't take long and she can do it while she's reading by now.
Nasty bitey person. What's he playing at?
A few nights later, she is crossing - so to speak - the neighborhood around a little strip mall. There's a present scratched behind that customer parking only sign in front of the butcher shop.
