Chapter 1 :
A/N : I know this chapter isn't that good but it will get better trust me. This is also my first Lost Boys FanFic. so please be nice! :D Please review! :P Enjoy!!
Disclaimer : I do not own most of the characters in this except for Claudia , her mom and Steve.
Claudia's POV :
" Mom we were driving for hours. How much longer until we get there?" I groaned.
" Very soon. Look for a big welcome sign that says " Santa Carla" on it and please stop asking me every two seconds before you make me turn around and check myself into the nut house for the rest of my life." Mom said half- seriously.
" Nice ma'." I laughed.
" Hey! I see the sign! It's up here." I said happily.
As we drove past the sign I was still looking out my window when we drove past it ;.. I noticed some words spray painted on back.
" Ya' welcome to Santa Cara the murder capital of the world now I'm really happy we moved here." I said sarcastically.
" Oh don't be silly some older kids just put that there to try and scare people. It's not the murder capital of the world." Mom said.
" I don't know..Look around there's lots of people. It's not likely that a murder would actually get caught around here." I said.
" Haha Claudia got a point mom...even the pre-schoolers are probably murders." My older brother Steve joked.
" Quit it you to,..you'll like it here besides ; we needed to start over. It will help get you're minds off me and your father breaking up." Mom said.
" Well just so you know we would rather be in Miami any day. We are just doing this for you." I stated speaking for me and Steve.
" I know all I'm asking is to just give this place a try..after all ; it's Summer so I bet it will be easy to make new friends and you won't have the stress of school either so I think you's will fit in fine." Mom said
We just nodded.
After that most of the drive was pretty quiet. I really didn't want to be here one bit. I mean , it doesn't look that bad I guess but it's no Miami. I mean. We grew up in Miami ; all our friends and family are there. In another two years or so we would have been moving out to be on our own anyway so I don't see why we would have to come. Oh well , as soon as I'm 19 I'm going back to Miami.
" Were here!" Mom said happily while pulling into a driveway that lead up to a medium sized home.
" I can't take all the excitement." I mumbled rolling my eyes. Steve just snickered and continued to take things out of the trunk.
" I grabbed a box full of my stuff and went into the house.
" Follow me I'll show you's you're new rooms." Mom said.
Me and Steve walked behind her going up the stairs and then she stopped in front of one room.
" Steve this is you're room and Claudia yours is two doors down on the right." She said.
" Okay thanks." We said in low voices.
I walked down the hall and then opened the door to my room.
Inside there was a bed , dresser , a chair and a night stand. There was also a closet and a big window by the bed.
After I was done looking around I went back out to get the rest of my stuff ; .. It wouldn't take log since most of the things I took were pictures , books , movies and other little nicknacks.
After I was done getting all my stuff I sat on my bed and went through the boxes and putting things where they go. I'm the kinda of person who just couldn't leave the boxes everywhere until I feel like unpacking , mind you I'm no neat freak , actually , I'd probably be classified as a slob.
After hours of going through all the boxes I was pretty much all set to go and finished.
Glad that's done. I thought to myself. I walked over to the bed and flopped onto it. I was beat. I just closed my eyes for two seconds when mom hollered up that supper was done.
Such great timing she has.
I groaned and pulled myself off the bed then headed down stairs to eat.
" What time is it?" I asked.
" Um...It's eight-thirty." Steve said looking at his watch.
" Wow I was in there putting my stuff away for six hours.' I said stunned.
We all sat down at the table and ate. It was pretty quiet , mom would just ask us questions every now and then like " How the rooms" or "Does the food taste good" me would just nod our heads at all the questions not even paying that much attention to her.
" Well I'm done I'm going for a walk." I said getting up.
" It's really dark out , why don't you just go watch a movie and go for a walk tomorrow." Mom said.
" No, I'm going for a walk right now." I stated.
" Okay just be careful , and don't be out too long." Mom said , she was always a worrier.
I shoved on my white sneakers and grabbed my sweater that said " Aerosmith " on it then headed out the door.
The streets weren't actually that dark ; .. it was lit up my neon signs, flashing lights, and many other things going. It definitely wasn't quiet , it was actually very loud. There was music concerts, people screaming from the amusement parks , and tons of others things , wow , this place is even louder than Miami was.
I was now on the boardwalk. I decided to check out the stores , see if there was any interesting ones that I might want to take a look inside of.
After walking for awhile I came across a video store. I love movies so I decided to go in. I opened the door and the bell hanging above the entrance rang. The person working at the main counter who I'm guessing was the manager looked up at me and smiled.
" Hello may I help you?" He asked kindly.
" Not really I'm just looking around." I said.
" I didn't see around here before." He said.
" There's so many people around here I don't know how you would even keep track , but ya' me and my mom and brother just moved here , we just moved in today." I stated.
" I try to keep track of most. By the way my name's Max and if you're looking for any movie in particular or need help don't be afraid to ask." He said.
" I won't. Thanks. By the way my name is Claudia , Claudia Mortenson ." I said.
" Nice to meet you Claudia." He said shaking my hand.
Just then the bell above the door rang and a bunch of boys , that seemed around my age , maybe a few years older , they looked like a gang of bikers or something.
" Hi" I said when they walked in.
They just all looked to Max and Max made some kind of face. I couldn't tell what he was trying to motion to them , whatever it was he would have just have told them it unless he didn't want me to hear for some reason.
" Hello boys. This is Claudia." Max said.
" Hello." Said A blonde guy.
I nodded.
" This is David , Marco , Paul and Dwayne." Max said.
" Nice to meet you." I said a bit shyly.
David smirked. " You look new here , why don't you come with us for a ride ; .. Our bikes are out there." He said.
"No, I should get going now , it's getting late and I said I would be home around this time." I said.
" How about we give you a ride home then?" The guy names Marco said.
" No that's okay , I'll just walk. Thanks for the offer though." I said.
" Bye." I said.
" Come back anytime you want." Max said.
" I will." I replied then walked out.
I got home and everyone was in bed.
I took of my sneakers and got changed out of my clothes and into my pajamas then went in my room and pretty much fell on the bed.
I was just about to fall asleep when I heard voices outside followed by creaks at the window.
Great.
