CHAPTER 1

ERICA'S POV

Erica was sunbathing on the beach. She was reading a pidgin dictionary. She had bought it the day before yesterday when her and her mom went shopping. Elly stayed in the house. That's all that she did lately. Elly wasn't depressed she'd do all sorts of things around the house. She just hardly left it. It was kinda like a self imposed punishment. Erica didn't get it but it was her birthday trip too. Elly's high-jinks were not going to ruin that. Erica had not seen Ikaika for two days. Not since the night he, his Uncle and Oni left her house. Reading the dictionary somehow made her feel close to him.

She turned over on her stomach and continued reading. Just as she felt her back was getting warmed from the rays of the sun the clouds covered it. She closed her eyes, rolled over, and huffed. When she opened he eyes all she saw was the cutest face on the planet looking down at her.

"Hey there Killah, miss seeing my face yet?" Kai asked

Oh no. My brain stopped again. I've been talking since I was 2 years old and now nothing. Maybe I should see if I can say mama and dada cause ain't shit else coming out.

"So what, no can talk? We can fight, will that help?" He said as he plopped down beside me.

"Where have you been?" I asked him. Why that was the first thing out of my mouth I don't know why.

"Right here..." he answered "What about you?"

"It's an island not that many places to go you know." I told him. As if he didn't live here.

"How's your sista?" his grin was replaced by look of concern.

"She's fine. She's just been hanging out at the house." I told him.

"Hey you wanna meet my mom?" I asked "I mean I know you saw her the other night, but you didn't meet her and I know she would want to. That way it doesn't seem like I'm sneaking around." there goes the rambling again.

"Shoots, I'll meet her wheneva." He said.

"Ok well come on let's go then." I smiled and stood up my things.

"What... like now? You like go now?" he asked nervously and stood up too.

Then out of nowhere he grabbed my face and kissed me. It was slow and gentle. He ran his tongue across my lips. I parted my lips and he slipped his tongue in. He tasted like mint ice cream. I raised my tongue to meet his. It was like our tongues where thumb wrestling. If that makes any sense at all. Then he withdrew his tongue and kind of nibbled on my bottom lip. As soon as it started it was over and he was staring into my eyes.

"I wanted fo' do that in case I never get to see you again… after we see your mom." he whispered in my ear.

"Uh huh" was all I could say. I was still trying to catch my breath.

"Come we go Killah" he said bringing me out of my daze.

"Oh yeah lets go." I said and started to pack up my bag.

I got the strangest feeling somebody was watching us, but when I stopped and looked nobody was there.

"What's wrong? Change your mind?" Kai asked

"No I could swear that...Oh never mind." I said and kept walking to the house

Ikaika POV

"I like see you again." I whispered to her when I hugged her.

I when try so hard to not let my emotions come over me. 'I'm da big man' right? I sighed. Was so hard saying good bye to her and I was hoping like hell wasn't going be da last time. There was something about this girl. An Identical twin… so was way more than a pretty face and smoking hot body. There was two of them. But her she was special. Was like, she when pull me to her like one magnet or something. It was like she when touch my soul just by the way she looked at me the first time I saw her.

"Eh, Kai what's with your Mana? Why you look so sad?" My uncle asked me. I just shrugged him off.

"He stay in love with that chick, that's why." Oni chuckled. I turned around in my seat and punched him in the chest.

"Fuck! You nuts or what? No get mad 'cause I know what's up!" Oni grumbled. My uncle laughed too. 'fuck you guys' I thought to myself sulking.

"That's dangerous ground right there Unuhina. Best to let it go." My Uncle said.

"Why Unc… this one is special… I never met anyone like her before…. Aaahgh…" I say as I run my hand through my hair struggling to get the words outta my mouth. "I no can explain why…. she … she perfect." I finished as I remember her eyes… blue like pipes on a glassy day.

"Wow, I never seen you like this before… she must be den." My uncle said with a smile. The rest of the drive stayed quiet. After we dropped Oni off, my Uncle started to talk again.

"Lemme tell you about da first time I met her father." He started and had all my attention… Erica's dad was one scary guy.

"Was when I was released by our Queen, 20 years after she turned me. I was in Cali. I went to this bar that catered to Vampires. This was before we was out, supa undaground kine…." He looked over at me and smiled.

"Anyway… there was this scrap happening and one of the Vamps stuck his hand straight through da other one and never even see it happen. One second his hand was empty da next the other Vamp when explode and he had dude's heart in his hand. And we was all Vamps, was nuts! I heard rumors about this guy 'The Viking' he had one rep and nobody fucked with him. Good thing I knew him… Oni fo' sure would be dust." He chuckled. "I no can believe that kid sometimes." He finished shaking his head.

"And?" I asked as we pulled into the drive.

"And, what? That wasn't enough? Maybe you get one death wish too." He laughed. I just sighed getting out of the car.

"Come we better go train extra hard, if you going pursue this girl." My uncle said patting me on the back as we walked into the house.

"Shoot's I'm game, let's do this!" I said excited to give my mind a break from Erica.

So the next day I trained and trained hard. When my Uncle rose that night we trained until dawn. I was so tired and all sore after, but surf was coming up and I was gonna have me a little nap.

I got up at noon and headed out to Waimea Bay. After I got there, I jumped out my truck, pulled out my board, and was about to paddle out when Oni showed up and stopped me.

"Kai, wassup where you been, 'cuz?" he asked as he squatted next to me.

"Eh Oni, training. What you been up to?" I asked as I began to wax up my board.

"Oh shit no look know, brah… psycho 12 o'clock." Oni replies and nods his head to my Ex Kainani. 'Oh shit' is right. She can't take a hint.

"Oni, Kai. Wassup?" She says as she bends to kiss me on my cheek "Where you been babe? I've been calling you." I pulled away from her kiss the second she lays it on me.

"What's up with you? I heard you was with some Ha'ole bitch at da bon fire." She said pissed.

"No call her one Bitch, she not. And what you care anyway we broke up, rememba?" I snapped at her just a little. I didn't even look at her but I could tell she was looking at me even more pissed off. I didn't say anything else just kept waxing my board. I heard Oni chuckle under his breath.

"Fuck you Kai, you such a prick sometimes!" she snapped back and stormed off. Oni fell to the ground laughing "Fuck you too Oni, you ass!" she yelled back.

"Wow, she is nuts…. Every time I see her…" Oni pauses and continues in a girl's voice "Oni, where Kai stay? How come he not calling me?" he laughed again. "She hard core, ya! I told you stay away from that one. But noooo… you never listen." He finished shaking his head.

"No remind me. Why you think I no drink anymore?" She was a big mistake. I shoulda never hooked up with her to start. But then I ended up dating her for like two years. Now I can't get rid of her.

"Oh Boo… Guess what Ekolu told me yesterday?" Oni said with a wide smile. Oh this going be good.

"What?" I asked curious.

"Brah, he told me that he saw Erica da other day in Waik's and he said some raunchy shit about her." He said still grinning like an idiot.

"What! What da fuck he said?" I asked pissed.

"He said… that they when hook up and she when… blow him." he said still with the fuckin' grin. He could tell I was getting pissed and he was having fun with it. Right as I was going open my mouth to say something he put his hand up in a stop motion….

"No that's not even da best part… guess when this when happen." Still grinning I wanted to fuckin' crack him. Guess my face told him as much 'cause he drop da grin real fast.

"Da day we was suppose to take them hiking." He wagged his eye brows.

"That mutha fucka! And what you said to him?" I demanded.

"I never say anything…" he shrugged "I just let him talk. I knew he was full of shit. I just let him dig his self deeper." Oni laughed and shook his head. I just sat there let the rage wash over and through me and closed my eyes willing myself to calm down.

"So what then?" Oni asked

"Nottin' let that fucka say something to me, then it's on." I blew off my anger my uncle would kick my ass fo' sure if I got into one scrap over words. That never reach my ears… I know Oni wouldn't lie to me and I know how Ekolu is… Erica prolly told him off and he got his balls kicked and didn't like it. But if he disrespects her to my face that's a different story.

Out on da waves floating letting the peace between sets soak in me. Erica…. Erica…. Erica…. Fuuuuuuuuck I no can stop thinking about her. I couldn't stop thinking about what Oni told me. I couldn't see her as da type that would do something like that with one guy she hardly knows. But her sista, what she did with Oni and da thing she said about not being one virgin till she was 25 made me think different.

I knew she was with me that day, when Kolu said all that shit went down. But I never see here since then. So what… it coulda happen right?. What if Oni just got da day wrong. It took couple nasty wipeouts fo' me to figure I should head in before I got myself killed.

"Eh Kai, try wait." Kainani called out. Aaahgh…. Wat she like now?

"Sup Nani?" I asked tired.

"I just like say sorry for earlier. I sorry I was one bitch." She said softly.

"Nah, no worries. I'm over it." I said and kept walking.

"Kai?" she grabbed my hand "I said I was sorry!" she finished in a huff.

"And I said I was over it." I pulled my hand out of her grip.

"Fuck!" she mumbled. I just kept walking.

I was so irritated already. I couldn't even think anymore. Nani bothering me all da time… now this shit with Kolu… I wanted to beat the shit outta something. Man I wish she would just leave me alone. I need to see Erica. She always had a way of calming me down that, I just never undastand. I got in my truck and drove straight to Kailua. I had to see her even if it meant my ass. I'd risk it for her.
