A/N: This is set in the middle of the movie, after they moved and after Michael was turned into a half-vampire. However, I'm also setting it in Modern Time's. It makes it easier to write
Chapter 1
Michael's POV
I groan softly as my 19 year old sister bursts into the room with her cell phone.
"Michael! Mom's on the phone!" she shouts. She holds the cell phone out to me.
"Hand me my sunglasses" I say. She looks at me like I'm crazy.
"You need your sunglasses to talk on the phone? Are you freebasing Michael? Inquiring minds want to know" she says, handing me my sunglasses and her cell phone. I flip her off as I put the sunglasses on and put the phone to my ear.
"Mom?" I ask into the phone.
'Michael? Are you still sleeping? It's 5:00 in the afternoon" I hear my mom say. I clear my throat.
"No I'm...I'm up" I say back. I hear her sigh.
"Look, I need you to watch Sam and Elaine tonight. Max asked me to dinner" I groan.
"Look, Sam and Elaine are old enough to stay by themselves now" I say. Elaine glares at me.
"I don't need no baby sitter Mike" Elaine says. I hold up a finger.
"Look, Michael, you stay out all night, you sleep all day, I work all day, Sam and Elaine are always alone. It's been a long time since someone asked me to dinner. I'd really like to go" I sigh.
"Alright mom" I say.
"Okay? Alright. Thank you" I nod.
"No problem" I say. I hand the phone back as mom hangs up.
Elaine's POV
I sigh as I walk out of Michael's room, putting my phone in my pocket. I was really starting to worry about him. He rarely ever stayed home. He was always out with David and his gang. I shake my head, rolling my eyes. I hadn't really seen them yet, but I wanted to know what they looked like. But Michael had told me to stay away from them. Of course, naturally, that only made me want to know them more.
Elaine's POV
Later That Night
8:29 PM
I sigh as I finish styling my long light brown hair. Michael and I were going to The Boardwalk tonight. Michael was going because he wanted to talk to someone. Though he wouldn't say who. I was going just because I needed a night out. I look in the mirror. I wore a purple tank-top that stopped right above my belly-button, a black leather jacket, dark blue skin tight jeans and black combat boots. I smile. I grab my cigarettes, my zippo lighter with a wolf on it and walk out of my room. I walk down the stairs.
"Michael! Come on! I'm ready to go!" I shout up the stairs. Sam walks into the room.
"Damn sis. What are you trying to do? Attract the whole city to you?" Sam asks when he see's me. I roll my eyes.
"Shut up. Are you sure you'll be okay here alone? You could still come with us" I ask Sam. He shakes his head.
"Nah. I'm going to take a bath and go to bed" Sam says. I nod.
"Alright. Well Michael and I might be back kind of late, okay?" I say. Sam nods.
"Have fun" Sam says with a wink. I roll my eyes as Michael finally comes down the stairs.
"There you are" I say. Michael looks me up and down then raises an eyebrow. "Not a word" Michael shakes his head as he heads for the door. I follow him. We walk out of the house and Michael gets on his bike. I get on behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist tightly. He starts his bike up and takes off.
Elaine's POV
I walk around the boardwalk, trying to find something to do. Michael had told me that he would be back later, and then took off on his bike. I look around at all the people having a good time, and all the couples paying attention to no one but each other. I sigh, wishing I had someone like them. I decide to go to Dex's Bar. I walk in, ignoring the stares from everyone as I walk over to the bar. I sit down and the bartender smirks at me.
"What can I get you baby doll?" He asks me with a wink. I roll my eyes.
"I'll have a Whiskey mixed with a Scotch, if you got it" The bartender nods and pours me the drink. I lean against the bar, grabbing the drink and downing it in one go. I feel myself begin to relax as the alcohol spreads throughout my body. I get another one and drink it slower, looking around.
My gaze lands on a table with seven people. A brunette who is practically wrapped around a man with long blonde hair, a blonde who is clinging to the arm of a man with short curly blonde hair, a man with long black hair who is alone and a guy who has his back to me. He is wearing a black trench coat and has spiky white hair but that is all I can see. A redhead clings to his arm, trying to get his attention, but he seems to hardly be paying attention to her. The man turns around, his blazing blue eyes locking with mine for a split second before I turn back towards the bar, downing my drink again.
"That's David and his gang" I look up to see the bartender staring at me, a smirk on his face.
"Oh really?" I ask. The bartender nods.
"David, Dwayne, Paul, and Marko" he says. I nod and start drinking my third glass, which the bartender had so kindly filled back up without me asking. "David is the leader. He's the one with the redhead fawning all over him. Dwayne is the one sitting alone. Paul is the one with the brunette wrapped around him and Marko is the one with the blonde clinging to him" I nod again.
Strange names...Other than David, which is actually a quite common name. I finish my drink and pay the bartender. He winks at me and tells me to come back soon. I roll my eyes at him and walk out of the bar. I couldn't help but notice as I was walking out that their table was empty except for the redhead.
I shake my head as I walk out of the bar. I walk around a bit more before I see a tattoo parlor and I grin. Perfect...just what I need. I head towards the tattoo parlor but stop when a voice speaks behind me.
"It's a rip off. If you want a tattoo, I can do it for you" I turn around to see the blonde from the bar...Paul, on a motorcycle. I stare at him.
"And who says I wanted one?" I say, trying to act as if his sudden appearance didn't freak me out a bit. Paul chuckles.
"Well, no one really. But I saw you walking that way. I figured you would want one" Paul says, stepping off his bike and walking over to me. I cross my arms over my chest.
"No, you assumed I wanted one. Do you know what people say about assuming?" I ask. Paul smirks and chuckles again.
"No, what?" he asks. It was my turn to smirk.
"You shouldn't do it. It makes an ass out of you and me" I say. Paul's smirk drops and I turn around and walk away from him, walking into the tattoo parlor.
Elaine's POV
I come out with a tattoo on my upper arm, right where my arm meets my shoulder. It is the word 'possess' with barb wire wrapped around it. I run my finger over it, wincing slightly. I smirk as I put my jacket back on. As I look up, I almost run into the black haired guy from the bar, Dwayne. I groan.
"Look, if your here to hit on me as well, save your breath. I'm not interested" I snap at him as I walk around him. Dwayne catches my wrist, making me turn back around to face him.
"No that's not why I'm here" He says quickly. I frown slightly.
"Then why are you here?" I ask him. He let's my arm go.
"I'm here to apologize for Paul's actions. He was just messing around. It's what he does" Dwayne answers and I stare at him, honestly surprised. I snap out of it, shaking my head.
"Don't worry. I'm used to men being asses around me" I say as I begin to walk away from him.
"That's no excuse for the way he was acting" Dwayne says, following behind me. I stop and turn around and look at him.
"Look, I know it's not. But I don't care. Unless he apologizes himself, which will never happen, it won't matter to me in the slightest. Now, no offense, but I'm going to walk away now. Don't. Follow. Me" I say then turn back around and walk away. Once I get about ten feet away, I look over my shoulder, but Dwayne is no longer standing there. I raise an eyebrow then shake my head. I start heading for the concert that is being played when I recognize the music.
Elaine's POV
About twenty minutes later I am dancing to Home by Three Days Grace. I howl with the crowd as the song continues playing. I can't believe that TDG is playing in this town, but I don't dare question it, considering I love the band. Everyone quiets down when the band starts talking about choosing a person from the crowd to come up and sing their next two songs with them. The crowd roars as the lead singer starts roaming his finger over the crowd.
"You!" he shouts, pointing towards me. The guy beside me starts howling, but the lead singer cuts him off. "No no no! Not you. Her!" The guy looks over at me and frowns. I point to myself and the lead singer nods and gestures for me to come on up. I smile and run through the crowd. He helps me up on stage and asks my name.
"Uh...My name's Elaine. Elaine Emerson" I say to him. He smiles.
"Well Elaine Emerson, what songs do you want to sing?" he asks me.
"Animal I have Become and Never Too Late. They are my favorite" I say. He smiles again.
"Mine too. Alright, which one first?" he says.
"Never Too Late" I say. He nods and hands me the microphone as he goes over to the band and tells them what they are going to play. I hear the song start. When it comes time, I begin to sing the song.
"This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong...
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late"
The crowd screams as the song finishes. The lead singer looks over me, his eyes wide, a smile on his face.
"That was great!" he says. I smile.
"Thanks" I say.
"Ready to sing the next one?" he asks. I nod.
"Hell yeah" I say. The song begins and I tap my foot to the beat.
Elaine's POV
In the middle of the song, I notice one person in the crowd who isn't moving at all. The leader of the gang, David, stares up at me from the back of the huge crowd as I sing. I swear I see curiosity in his cold blue eyes. I can't seem to look away so instead I close my eyes and continue to sing.
When the song is over, I open my eyes and look through the crowd, but David has seemed to disappear. I look over at the lead singer when he pats me on the back.
"You've got lungs kid. Really. That was amazing" he says, smiling brightly at me.
"Thanks" I say, smiling back at him.
"You are very welcome" he says. I nod and wave goodbye then hop down off the stage. I walk through the crowd, not sure where I am going but only stopping when I get to the bike rack. I look at all the motorcycles, trying to find Michael's but I quickly forget about it when I see one that I have wanted since I was 15. I walk over to it, letting my fingers hover over it, not quite touching it. It was black and red, but mostly black.
"Whoa..." I say softly.
"Do you like it?" A voice says from behind me. I whip around to find David standing there, smirking at me, his blue eyes dancing with amusement.
"Uh...It's amazing. Is this your bike?" I ask. He nods, walking past me to get on it.
"Do you want to go for a ride?" He suddenly asks me.
"Huh?" I ask, not quite sure if I had heard him correctly. He stares at him as if I am stupid.
"Do. You. Want. To. Go. For. A. Ride?" He says slowly, talking to me as if I am a child who doesn't understand something an adult is saying. I stare at his bike, then at him, not completely sure if he is serious. Well, if he wasn't, the worst he could do was laugh at me.
"Sure. Why not?" I say. I watch as a devilish smirk spreads across his face.
"Get on" he says. I do as he says, swinging my leg over the back and getting on behind him.
"So, where are we going?" I ask. He doesn't answer me.
"Hold on tight" he says instead. I wrap my arms around his waist, holding on tightly as he starts the bike up and we take off into the night.
Elaine's POV
I can't help the smile on my face as the wind whips my hair back. David speeds up and I tighten my grip on his waist, making him laugh. We ride for what seems like an hour but really is only about twenty minutes before he slows then stops his bike, parking it and getting off. I get off with him and see we are at a cliff side. I go over to the cliff and stand on the edge, looking down at the waves crashing against the rocks below. I look up and out, gasping softly when I realize just how beautiful it is. I jump when David speaks beside me, having forgotten he was even there.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" he asks me. I nod.
"Yes...very beautiful" I answer. He turns to me and smirks.
"Not as beautiful as you though" David says. I can't help but blush.
David's POV
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I ask Elaine. I watch out of the corner of my eye as she jumps as if she had forgotten I was there. She nods.
"Yes...very beautiful" she answers me. I turn to her and smirk.
"Not as beautiful as you though" I say. I watch as she blushes and it takes everything I have not to attack her right then and there.
"Thanks..." she says, brushing a strand of hair out of her magnificent forest green eyes.
"No problem" I say. She holds out her hand to me.
"I'm Elaine by the way" she says. When she realizes I am not going to shake her hand, it drops back to her side. She clears her throat awkwardly, planning to speak again but I cut her off.
"I know who you are. You're Michael's sister" I say, forcing myself to sound bored. She stares at me in surprise and I answer her question before she has a chance to ask it. "Michael talks about you sometimes" Realization fills her eyes and she nods before looking out past the cliff. She didn't even notice my lie. I look up at the moon which is almost full and I smile a wickedly. It is almost time. I look back at her. "Follow me" I say. She frowns slightly but complies as I walk past her.
Elaine's POV
I watch as David walks past me then I follow him, pulling my jacket tighter around me when a cold wind blows.
"Where are we going?" I ask him. He doesn't answer. I sigh. I was getting tired of him not answering that question. But I don't say anything more as I follow close behind him as we leave his bike behind and walk through the sand. I want to ask where we are going again but I don't. I jump when he suddenly spins around, pulling me close to him and kissing me. I struggle against him before I relax into the kiss. I don't know why, but it just feels right. Everything in me is telling me to push him away and run...but I don't.
Instead, I kiss him back until he moves his lips down to my neck. I can't help the soft moan that slips past my lips when he kisses my neck. I feel his tongue dart across my neck and I let out another moan, a little louder than before. I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my neck and I gasp but it quickly subsides and is replaced by an odd but pleasurable feeling. It isn't very long until I find myself beginning to black until I completely lose consciousness.
