The moonlight gently rested upon your tired half asleep face as you dangled upside down in the gloomy cave. The light began to bother you as you tried so desperately to fall asleep.

"Damn it! I'll never get to sleep like this!" You muttered under your breath as you opened your eyes to the world around you. You glanced over to the others who were already fast asleep beside you. Of course, Victor was the closest one to you with his wild untamed hair and Gothic clothes. He enjoyed living his life as a vampire and everyone knew he had strong feelings for you even though he never said a word about it to anybody. He was just too obvious for people not to know which made the whole ordeal even more embarrassing.

You sighed and dropped heavily to the filthy ground below. The dust from the cave floor flew up in a visible cloud and slowly settled around you. You looked up to the large crack in the roof from where the moonlight was shining in and cursed yourself from not inspecting the place more thoroughly when you arrived. If you hadn't of woken up before the sun rose then you would have probably gotten the worst sun tan of your life while you were sleeping. That would've been one hell of a wake up call. You chuckled to yourself at that thought as you wandered outside onto the sandy beach, kicking sand up in the air occasionally as you walked just to see it fly away in the cool early morning breeze. You glanced briefly at the old watch you bought at a second hand store wrapped around your pale wrist.

4:24am.

There was still plenty of time to fix up any cracks and holes in the roof of the cave before dawn broke, might as well explore the beach for a while. You dawdled your way across the sand leaving fresh footprints that would soon be engulfed by the ice cold ocean water that gently licked at your feet every few minutes. You hadn't felt so peaceful in... god knows how long! As you drifted lazily across the soaking wet sand you noticed a deserted bonfire a few meters away. It reminded you of something. Anger, remorse and despair stabbed at your heart with a ferocious temper. That night on the beach so many years ago. The night you lost everything. The night your heart broke into a thousand pieces, never to be completely healed. The night you ran away from Santa Carla and vowed to never return.

"Why not?" You thought out loud.

"Why not what?"

You spun around on the spot to see James looking at you with a quizzical expression plastered on his pale white face. His silky golden hair wafted in the sea air as his bright hazel eyes met your blue ones. You smiled at his sudden presence. It was always comforting to have a friend like James around when you were making important decisions.

"We're going to Santa Carla."

James looked at you as though you had completely lost your mind. All the boys knew about your story of what happened all those years ago. Well, most of it. You never really went into a huge amount of detail about the subject since it still hurt to admit that... David... Was dead. A tear unconsciously fell from one of your eyes which caused concern to spread over James' features like a shadow casting over his older face. Yes, James was older in looks but you were older than all of the boys and you had been a vampire long before they had. In fact, you were the one that turned them in the first place. You were feeling lonely after being alone for so long so you decided that you would make your own lost boys instead.

First there was Victor in 1990. He was an outsider, a loner and he was the first person to make you laugh in three years. Next there was James in 1993. You met James at a beach party and you both became friends almost immediately. Lastly in 1996 there was Dean. He was the loud mouthed partier that loved nothing more than to spend the weekend laughing his arse off at a club with other men while ogling attractive women. The other boys adored his company so after a while of pleading and begging you eventually gave in and turned him. It turned out to be a really good decision.

"What on Earth made you decide that?"

You snapped yourself out of memory lane to the question at hand in 2012. Yes, it had been that long since that fateful night all those years ago. You thought deeply about why you had suddenly decided to go back but you already knew the answer. You were hoping, dreaming of seeing David again. Hoping that maybe if you returned, time would jump backwards and you'd be back in 1987 with David and the lost boys before your brothers, the frogs and that evil seductress took everyone and everything that was important to you and stamped on it with their boots.

"I want to forget. I want to get over David and I want to see my family." Oh god! Your family! You hadn't really thought about them in years. What would they look like now? Did they still live in Santa Carla? It was an unlikely possi...

"Should I go tell the others?" James said causing you to forget your chain of thought. You smiled politely and nodded.

"Yes but wait until tomorrow night. The sun will be up soon and it would be impractical to start heading towards Santa Carla now. Go back to sleep James. I'll be in soon." James nodded and ran off towards the cave. You never realised how much respect and loyalty would come out of turning a few outsiders into vampires. You guessed it was just natural that they would see you as their leader just as David's group saw him as their leader. A wave of sadness and remorse washed over you when you thought once again about the people you lost. This was the most you had thought about that night in over two decades. Now thinking of the amount of time made you feel old...

You noticed the sky beginning to brighten slightly and realised that you still had to fix that roof. With great haste, you sped towards the rocks above the cave and quickly scanned the area for holes and openings in between the freezing rocks. As you suspected, you noticed quite a few areas that needed patching up. You hurriedly started placing stones over the holes like placing pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. Once you had finally completed your task, the sun was almost up causing the early morning sky to go a lovely shade of pink, purple and blue. You leapt into the cavern and ran as fast as your legs could carry you to the "bedroom". As soon as you arrived you scanned the above area for any signs of light.

None.

You let out a loud sigh of relief. That was way too close for your liking. A second more outside and you would have been toast. Vampire toast. You grinned to yourself and clamped onto one of the rocks above with your vampiric feet. The grin never left your face as you fell deeply into the land of dreams. That was fun.
