Chapter 1: Law

Belle remembers the day brother her started lying to her. He left home and started living with his 3 friends. She never saw him, only at night. Belle investigated and found nothing. The two crazy comic shop boys Edgar and Alan Frog came to her aid, even though she never asked. The three of them became friends. Then one night Belle came home to find her parents dead, blood everywhere and a mysterious man in my home. She would later come to find that his name was David, one of her brothers 'friends' who she hates with all her heart. Out of the three friends only Belle knows that Paul, Dwayne, David, and Marko are creatures of the night. Vampires. And what difference does it make that 7 years later Paul lied to Belle again. She's 19 only a few days from being 20.

"Belle, come on your move." Alan said.

"What?" She said snapping from her daze.

Alan sighed. "Your move, come on."

For being 15 Alan was very impatient. Belle moved the queen taking out the pawn, Alan growled and Belle smiled triumphantly. "Check mate. I win, again."

Edgar came over and shoved the chess board out of the way. "You are supposed to be sorting through the comics. And you are supposed to be sitting behind the counter doing nothing until a customer comes along." He grunted.

Belle looked at the counter in front of her. "Hey, I am behind the counter. What's got your goat Mr. Cranky ass?"

Edgar thrusted a missing persons sign onto the counter. The picture was of a pretty Latina girl with long reddish hair, who had nerd glasses on. She was a nerd herself. Julie Lopez. She came into the comic store almost every day, Alan sort of had a thing for her. She was a nice girl, who would do something to her? Belle knew exactly who. The three where silent.

"That's the third one in two days." Belle said more to herself than anyone.

"We need to find out where this vamp pack is so we can show them whose boss!" Edgar growled. Alan was still in shock looking at the sign.

"There are no such things as vampires Edgar." Belle said sternly.

"You know what is real? Anomalies..." Alan said wistfully.

"Anomalies?" Belle said.

He nodded. "Rips in time, they are transports to different universes."

Belle sighed standing up. "Okay, you too have officially gone into Crazy-Ville."

She bid the two goodbyes and left. Winnie, the oldest vampire in Santa Carla, had called to meet with Belle. Belle saw Winnie as an old grandmother role. She hoped Winnie had taken Belle's consideration not to be changed. She had suspected a no, but hoped for a yes. But Belle was no way prepared for what Winnie had said...

"PAUL! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" Belle shouted charging into the cave.

"Meaning of what my strange speaking sister?" He said smiling.

"Don't you play fucking dumb with me!"

"Calm down Belle, what's wrong?"

"I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED OF MY ENGAGEMENT! I WAS NOT INFORMED THAT I EVEN WAS ENGAGED! I DO NOT WANT TO BE ENGAGED!" Belle shouted enraged storming over to him.

"I-I don't know what your talking about." He said.

Belle's screaming brought Dwayne, David, and Marko from farther inside the cave.

"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! YOU, WINNIE, AND DAVIDS MEETING ABOUT ME! I AM TO MARRY THAT...THAT...INCOMITANT ASSHOLE!"

"No need for name calling," David said coolly.

"You just stay the hell away from me! I am not going to marry a cold hearted bully asshole who only cares about his prize!" She said giving him a cold look.

"And you!" Belle said turning back to her brother.

"You had a chance to stop this! Yet you did nothing, you know of my hate of David! I will not marry him or become a damned thing of the night that is the equivalent of a spider!"

David came over and stood in front of Paul. "You have no choice. You will marry me and become one of us, it was to be since you agreed to stay with us."

Anger boiled through Belle's petite body. "The only reason I ever lived here was because of Paul, Marko, Dwayne, Lupe's family had no room for me in the house, the FROGs wouldn't let me, and YOU killed my parents!"

David's face turned dark, his hand shot out and slapped her hard on the cheek. She stumbled back. Dwayne landed in front of her hissing at David, he stood like an animal protecting its young. Why couldn't she have married him instead? David looked down at her with cruel eyes while Paul shrank back. Belle stood tall, looking at Paul.

"I'm pissed and disappointed in you. Paul, I can't believe we are related. Dwayne protected me, not you. My own brother." She hissed.

"Paul, you are a coward."

Belle ran from the cave, letting the sun's rays soak in. She ran to the beach, to the place where she felt okay, where she didn't have to battle or be watched over. Belle sat on a sandy hill and started to cry. Not in pain, but of anger. The tattoos on her arm burned. They were actually her birthmarks but they looked more like ancient like markings so she tattooed them. For a brief moment Belle through about running away for a moment but knew it was a fail. They would smell her and track her down in a matter of hours. She started to walk towards the water, taking off her shoes and socks. She stood letting the water splash her jeans as she stood letting the waves crash into her. Belle waded out to where the water met her waist, and disappeared under the water, looking at the beautiful life around her. She swam back to shore and just sat. Watching the sun sink down as she thought.

"What if I where to fall into love with somebody else..." She contemplated

Belle scoffed at the thought. She couldn't let some man hold her heart to keep her stay, even if it was her best friend or brother. Belle had wished for a prince to come and sweep her off her feet when she was little. Now, as childish as it sounded, she wanted a prince to come and rescue her from this place. From this hell.

"Don't be stupid Belle." She muttered to herself.

But as she watched the distance, she felt like something was pulling her to the ocean. Her to-hell-with-it scenes where tingling, but it felt like something was pulling her soul to it. It's hard to explain. So Belle jumped into the water eagerly to find out what was calling her. Belle did not look back, only swam. She was soon far out from the shore. The water soaked every inch of her body and started to give her chills. What ever had been calling her faded and stopped pulling.

"So stupid. Look what you've done. Nice going Belle." She muttered to herself.

Belle saw the huge wave coming but it was too late to register what had happened because the wave swept her up and tossed her underwater. She resurfaced, gulping for air. But another wave swept her up. The usually calm current had gotten violent and swift. Belle screamed for help, but her screams where unheard or blended with the screams of the people on the boardwalk. When a wave took her under again she felt something pull her leg, she kicked and thrashed until she got the surface. The Lost Boys (well Paul) had sensed something was wrong with his little sister and they found her. Each had hovered low enough to try and reach her.

"Grab my hand!" David boomed desperately.

In fear of drowning Belle reached up, her fingers only grazing each others. But a giant wave over took her, she did not resurface. Only went down, down, down. As she sunk into blackness she could see the four vampires diving after her. But going down Belle hit her head before seeing wild colors underwater and then blacking out.
