"Goddamn it… Those kids were too fucking good - what a shit day.."
"You mean the part when we died?" Dwayne asked. Paul sighed
"That…and when they killed Marko.." he grew sad at this, his best friend and lover gone forever…
"Paul?" he looked up at the soft, familiar voice "Paul, is that you?"
"M…Marko?" he said slowly
"I can't see…it's dark." Paul grabbed the torch from Dwayne and walked towards the voice.
"I'm right here, baby. Can you see the fire?" he asked, walking forward. There was the sound of footsteps then the most beautiful person stepped slowly into the light. His face was golden in the warm glow, his hair honey blonde and his big green eyes gleaming. He smiled at his lost friends.
"Hi, guys.." he said. Paul grinned and ran to hug him, passing the torch back to Dwayne. He picked the smallest vampire up and spun him around, hugging him tightly as they both laughed. "What happened?" Marko asked "Where have you been?" Paul put him down, looking at him with a frown
"You don't remember?"
"Remember? Remember what?" he asked, still smiling. Paul's face grew grave, as did Dwayne's
"You're dead, Marko. We all are." Dwayne said from behind Paul. Marko's eyes moved to him, then back up to the blonde's face, his smile disappearing
"W-what…?" he asked "What about David?"
"He'll be here soon." Marko looked down, trying to get his head around this.
"I died first?" he asked after a moment. Paul nodded with a sigh, putting his arm around his shoulders as he took him to sit with Dwayne
"Yeah, those little bastards snuck into the cave while we were all sleeping.."
"Oh… I'm glad I don't remember.." he said honestly. Paul smiled slightly and kissed his temple, hugging him tighter
"I'm glad you're here… You've been here in the dark all this time?" Marko nodded "That was, like, 12 hours, at least." Marko shrugged
"It didn't feel that long.." he said, smiling at Paul, who grinned and they kissed gently. "So, what happened?" he asked, looking between them. They looked at each other and sighed, commencing their tale of the road to destruction
"After they…you died, David was livid - he tried to go after that Sam kid and the other two but they got him in the sun and burned his hand pretty bad. We, um, put you on the bed and waited for sun down so we could go get the fuckers. When it finally came, we went straight for the Emerson place, David said kill everyone or die trying…I guess we only did the latter, huh?"he said with a sigh. Marko smiled up at him sadly and put one hand on his cheek, making Paul smile and they kissed again
"Well, long story short - I was killed by a stereo and Paul got killed by a dog." Dwayne said, already able to see the funny side. Marko frowned in confusion, making the dark-haired vampire chuckle, then explained their weird deaths fully. Marko couldn't help but laugh, same as Paul
"Well, at least you made a total mess of their house, huh?" he said. They laughed louder at this thought "Wonder how they'll get David…"
"Aw, shit, do you think Max'll be here too?" Paul asked, eternity with that asshole? Dwayne shrugged
"Dunno… This is our cave, right?"
"I thought so - it feels like it.." Marko said. It was still extremely dark despite the fire but something about the atmosphere told him they were home.
"So…maybe this is our heaven.." Paul said, smiling. Marko and Dwayne both looked at him and slowly smiled
"Yeah, I guess so.." Dwayne said, looking into the fire with a smile. Marko smiled at Paul and they kissed again.
