Chapter One: First Encounters
I don't own The Lost Boys! I just own Ace, Chad, and Eve, enjoy!
"Eve?" I glanced up from my pizza to see a familiar face.
"Ace!" I stood up and gave my friend a hug. "Ace had been my friend as long as I lived here, his gray eyes always twinkled with secret humor. "What's up? I thought you were going out of town?"
"Nah, I decided to stay, my parents left though. Thought I'd hang out up here." He eyed my pizza. "Are you gonna...?"
"Ugh, here." Sitting down, he dug in. My eyes wondered to the rest of the boardwalk. When the sun set in Santa Carla, the boardwalk came to life and became illuminated by the lights of the rides. It was my favorite place to be.
"Hey, you okay?" Ace looked at me concerened.
"Hmm? Yeah, I'm fine, just didn't sleep well."
"Nightmares?" I nodded, the same nightmare had been haunting me for weeks now. I wasn't even sure if it was a nightmare, I would walk up, gasing for air and my heart pounding. I closed my eyes, remembering the only thing I could.
"Eve." A man whispered my name, laughing, but who?
"Eve," Ace sighed. "I have been with you through everything, if you need someone to talk to, about anything, I'm-"
"Am I interuppting something?" An obnoxiusly loud voice chirped.
"Chad, as irritating as ever." Ace groaned, Chad smiled, his blonde hair bouncing as he hopped onto the table.
"Ah! You wound me!" Chad sobbed.
"Drama queen." I muttered, shaking my head.
"That is an accurate statement. What are you two doing here? It's Friday! Let's go to a party! Eve, I know you are always game for a good party!" I smiled.
"Not tonight Chad, maybe tomorrow." He pouted.
"Can we at least go somewhere else?" He asked, toying with the spaghetti strap on my red tank top, Ace shooting him a look of death.
"Touch me again, and I will bury you." I threatened, Chad shrugged.
"No you won't, but you're cranky sooooooo, wanna just chill at the beach?"
"Fine," I sighed. "Let's go."
"What?" Ace complained.
"you know he won't shut up if we say no, so quit being a girl and let's go." Ace reluctantly followed us onto the main strip. "Aw fuck, I left my jacket on the chair." I turned to go get it.
"I got it." Ace brushed past me.
"Damn, my wallet must've fallen out of my pocket, hey Ace can you grab it?"
"Get you own wallet lazy-ass!" I laughed as Chad ran up to the pizza parlour. A breeze blew past me, blowing my hair around my face. Something is wrong, I shivered, this feels like, deja vu. The sound of roaring engines reached my ears, I turned as four men circled me with their bikes, cutting me off from Ace and Chad. They shouted and whistled as they circled me, my hair whipping sbout.
"Eve!" I could barely hear Ace's voice over the engines. He ran off as one of the men parked in between Chad and I. His blonde hair was long and messy and his blue eyes were teasing.
"Hey." He smiled, I glanced behind me where the other three were parked, blocking any escape. "What is a girl like you doing out here at a time like this?" Looking back at him, he was very attractive, but, something felt...off. "Oh, I should probably introduce everyone." He got off his bike, grabbed my shoulders and turned me around. "Those three are David," A short haired blonde smiled back. "Dwayne," A big dark haired man nodded. "Marko," A curly blonde waved at me. "And I'm," The man walked in front of me, holding out his hand. "Paul." I looked at him uncertainly, but I still shook his hand.
"Eve." He pulled me into his chest.
"That's a different name," He twirled a strand of my hair around his finger, my dark hair was a vast contrast to his light skin. "Eve." A small gasped escaped my lips, that voice, the one I had heard every night for weeks now.
"You." Something sparkled behind his blue eyes.
"So what do you say?" My brain was scrambling. Him, he's the one from my dreams, but, how? I hardly knew this man standing before me and yet, it felt like he knew everything about me.
"I...I-"
"I say back the fuck up!" Paul stumbled away from me as Chad shoved him back, standing protectivly in front of me. Dwayne and Marko rushed to the sid of their friend as Paul glared viciously at Chad.
"Chad..." The three men were far bigger than my friend.
"Here." Without looking, he tossed me my black duffle coat. With a sigh I threw my coat over my arm, Paul laughed darkly.
"Kid, I don't think you know who you are messing with. So, why don't you leave," He shoved Chad back. "And let us have some fun."
"Make me." The others laughed, but Paul's smile hid something darker. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed Chad by his shirt.
"I thought you would never ask."
"That's enough!" I pushed the two away from each other, glaring at them both.
"Ooh, she's got fire in her, that will be fun." Marko laughed. Chad charged him and I struggled to hold him back.
"Chad-stop it!"
"Let him go Eve! We're just playing."
"Am I too late for the party?" Ace walked next to me, bringing three guys with him. "Is there a problem?" Paul growled, Dwayne and Marko looked at David.
"Come on Paul, let's go. As entertaining as it would be, let's avoud a fight...for now." Paul took a couple of steps back, but his hands were still in fists. "Let's go." David revved his bike, shooting me another smile. "Nice to meet you Eve." Paul walked past me, winking at me as he started his bike.
"Catch you later." His engine roared, he drove by, snatching my coat from my arm.
"Hey!" I yelled, but they were gone. "Damn it." Ace waved to the three men.
"Thanks guys."
"No problem." They walked away, leaving us three alone.
"Assholes, are you okay Eve?" Chad asked.
"I'm fine." My mind was still on Paul, he was dangerous, you could feel it when he was around. But something pulled me towards him, I was a second away from going with him.
"Damn, never thought I would ever meet them."
"You know about them?" Ace scratched his head.
"Yeah, I'm surprised you don't. The practically run this place, if they won't something, they get it. So, I would watch your back Eve."
"Why?"
"They aren't the type to take an intrest in someone for no reason." I shivered, remembering that Paul was who I heard in my dreams. Something was off about this whole thing, I took a deep breath and shook off my suspicions.
"Look, I can up here tonight to have some fun, let's not let those three ruin that." Ace nodded in agreement. "Chad?" Slowly, he nodded. "Fight them later if you really want to, but for now let's go to the beach. Okay?"
"Yeah," Chad muttered, but he shook his head and smiled at me. "Yeah."
"Alright, let's go."
