Hi people! Even though, no, I didn't give up on my other story. Well, not completely. But I need a beta for it, or it won't continue. Sorry, but this one I'm gonna continue. I simply love the Lost Boys, so... Yeah. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer:

I own nothing but a few OC's, the rest belongs to friends.
OC's that belong to friends will be announced later when they show up.


I never considered dying at a young age. Even less, I wouldn't even dream of being turned into a vampire. I've always been so down-to-earth, feet on the ground, strictly never believing in such nonsense. But then again, everything changed when me and some friends decided to visit an old friend of one of my said friends. To say it mildly, who knew I'd end up so lost in paranormal story you'd never believe, caught between life and death.


A small group of friends were idly sitting on a picnic table in Justin Falls, chatting amongst themselves .

"So are we leaving tomorrow?" One of the taller girls questioned, she looked around at everyone waiting for an answer.

"You sure she'd let us come?" One of the guys asked, ignoring the last question that was asked.

"Are there any hot guys there?" A red-headed girl giggled and flicked her hair to one side.

"Shut up Annie" The first girl growled.

"Sorry" She bowed her head and gave out one her usual guilt trips.

The group kept arguing and talking, they were deciding on their destination and what to do when they got there.

One of the taller girls with short black hair grinned, she pulled something out of her pocket.

"We take the bus-" She held up the notes of money and looked at everyone."Or what about a taxi?" She grinned again as if she were proud of her self for coming up with a plan first.

A shorter girl with freckles and long straight red hair sighed,

"For Christ's sake, Mati, are you truly that stupid? No one could afford a taxi to Santa Carla, it's to far away!" She smacked Mati's knee, shaking her head and looking away in disappointment.

Mati held back a giggle, putting the cash back into her pocket,

"You never know with you people!" she said, shaking her head slightly.

"Remember when you decided to steal a car and drive to France to see Hallingskarvet?" Mati teased.

The redhead looked down, sighing. "Will you ever forget that?!"

"No way, Caroline..." She grinned

Caroline sighed, "For Christ-" she was cut of by a tall boy with just as short hair as Mati, in nearly the same shape. His name; Kenny, Mati's twin brother.

"You're not a Christian Caroline" he pointed out, smacking her arm lightly and grinning. "So don't abuse Jeebus's name like that" he chuckled, but stopped when some one slapped him on the back of his head.

"Don't disrespect Jesus like that , Kenny you know it's very offensive to my religion!" The girl spat in anger, she glared at him with her green eye's.

She didn't break the stare until Kenny looked away, frowning. She was very protective over her religion and didn't like people mocking it.

"Sorry Cathrina" he mumbled, Cathrina just sighed at him and shook her head.

"Oh stop it you two!" Mati ordered, glaring at both of them, "We have to decide what to pack and where to go but we aren't getting anywhere when use are all acting like a bunch of children!"

Everyone shot her their annoyed glares but she took no notice.

Another boy sitting beside the picnic table sighed, "Well, what if we go to Santa Carla?" The boy questioned with a strange glint in his eye. "Wait... I forgot that would be a serious suicide mission"

Mati blinked, "What do you mean, Chris?"

He sighed, "Mati, Santa Carla is the murder capital of the world, they say. People go missing several times a day. It's not safe anyway, so I think we should go somewhere else..." he shifted his gaze to her, his head resting on Cathrinas leg, as he lazily lit a smoke.

Caroline growled, "We're going to Santa Carla to visit Jeanne, and that's final! And they have cheap Chinese food, that's always a bonus"

Chris sighed, "Fine, fine, I don't mind dying anyway..."

"We know, Chris, we know."


Later that day.....


Mati waved goodbye at her five friend's as they soon disappeared out of sight. She waited impatiently for Kenny to park his bike as she was eager to pack her thing's and wait for the sun to rise yet again.

As they entered what they would call 'home' Kenny slumped down into their worn out couch and sighed. "Sis, could you get me a beer... Please?" he begged, groaning tiredly.

Mati grinned, "Sure but only if you come out on the balcony with me while I have a smoke?" he nodded, as Mati disappeared into the kitchen, heading for the fridge. She took out two beers and grabbed a pack of cigarettes.

As she walked back into the living room she couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with Kenny, she handed him his beer and sat next to him.

"You ought to stop drinking so much" She groaned.

"And you ought to stop smoking." Kenny said in defence.

Mati growled, "I don't care about myself it's you I care about!" she exclaimed, glaring at her brother.

He glared right back at her, "Well you shouldn't! I'm the man of this family and it should be me looking after you!" he growled back.

Mati sighed, "Sorry... It's just... I don't want anything to happen to you..." she mumbled, feeling the tears form in her eye's. She quickly suppressed them, not wanting her brother to see the soft side of her.

Kenny glared at Mati, though it soon disappeared when he saw the look in her face. He pulled her into a tight hug. "I'm sorry" He whispered.

They sat in silence, occasionally taking a sip from their beers, not even bothering to turn their beloved old TV on.

It was just one of those sibling moments were silence was expectable

Mati sighed, breaking the moment. "I need a smoke, care to join me?" She looked at Kenny, he looked back and grinned.

"Sure" He lazily stood up and held out his hand for his sister, as she took it and let him help her up, he pulled her into a brief hug, before letting her go and heading out to the balcony.

Mati slumped down in a corner of the balcony, kicking down what was left of the railing they once had, as Kenny leaned heavily against the wall, gripping his beer as if his life depended on it. Many beer's have been dropped from this balcony and that was deeply regretted.

As Mati lit a smoke she let it carelessly hang from her mouth.

Kenny took this moment of silence as an opportunity to think. Think about their trip, as they were due to leave tomorrow, heading for the famous Santa Carla. He dreaded a three hour trip but he soon cheered up, because it would be on his bike.

"Hey Ken?" Mati asked, frowning.

"Yeah?" He questioned. He looked at his beer expecting a stupid question to be asked.

"Well... Do we have to come back here? I'm sick of this place...Even though...you know, the guys are nice and all, but... I just can take this life any more. They take it for granted... Everything... They're all spoiled brats who think they're bigger than everyone else... I can't pretend to be happy around them any more, do you know what I mean?" Mati's emotion's were spreading harshly, this was the first time she had opened up in a long time. She would never express her feeling's to anyone.

"I know how you are feeling... Well, there is one thing that we could do. I know someone over in Santa Carla that could maybe help us out" Kenny had been thinking about what he just said ever since they had agreed on taking a trip there .

Kenny continued."Yeah... Even though they just moved there I think they could help us out... Do you remember The Emersons?"

Mati grinned, "Well of course I remember the Emersons! But that was a long time ago... And how do you know they moved there?"

A creepy smile spread across his face, Mati looked at him suspiciously. He stayed silent.

Finally after what seemed like forever Mati spoke."Don't say you stalked them? Just because you and Michael were friends, doesn't mean he remembers you when he left... and that's no reason for stalking!" she shouted, glaring at him. She was disgraced that he'd done such a thing like this.

Kenny laughed, "No I didn't, I kept in touch with their Grandfather. Lucy's father and I, we share interests. And he told me that they had moved in with him."

Mati felt relieved that she wasn't living with a crazed stalker, "Thank God you didn't stalk them!" she grumbled, frowning as she put out her cigarette and threw it over the balcony.

Kenny gasped, "How can you accuse me of something so horrible?!" he feigned hurt and put his hand over his heart, pretending to be offended.

His sister glared at him, "You're such a baby." she complained, heading into the apartment.

"Come on, we need to pack our stuff!" she called over her shoulder, hearing her brother follow her, grumbling about women and packing. Mati just grinned, "Love you to, bro!" she laughed, running into their room, and jumping onto their shared double-bed, grinning as she bounced on the old mattress.

"Come on! Time to pack!" she exclaimed, grabbing her backpack and stuffing a pack of cigarettes and some random clothes into it, She stopped for a second as she saw Kenny walk in with a grin on his face.

"Well, you're having fun" he pointed out, smirking at her annoyed expression.

"Of course! I want to get out of here as quick at possible, moron! I want to go to Santa Carla!" she grinned, stuffing some condoms and many more cigarettes into her bag.

Running around like a hyper dwarf, was one way to describe his sister. Kenny chuckled at the sight, grabbing a backpack of his own and starting to more carefully collect things and stuff them in his bag, knowing that even though it looked like panic-packing, his sister knew exactly what she needed and what she grabbed.

"Oh! Look, Kenny! I found your old girlfriends underwear!" she called, grinning as a fool as she grabbed her lighter and held it up to the pink bra, Kenny turning beet-red.

"Oh for Christ's sake Mati, put that down" he never got further as the bra caught on fire, slowly burning away he just sighed, shaking his head. "You suck sometimes, Mati, you really do." he mumbled, stuffing some socks into his bag, hearing Mati laughing hysterically in the background.

Kenny just sighed, "This is going be a long ride"
