Alright. Here's chapter two. Thank you for the nine reviews I got. On with the story! (I've said this once and I'm gonna say it again: I'm not allowed to watch the movie till I move out sooooo.. if something's off, deal with it.)
David. Come here now! David awoke with a start. He knew that voice. It was only Max trying to tell him do some stupid errand. He growled inwardly. What! He thought. Just come down here. Max answered. Sighing David got on his bike and started it. He silently went to Max's store. "What." He said simply.
"Follow me." Max said leading him to his office. David smiled at Maria and followed. "I'm in love" max said simply.
"So." David said back.
"So I want her to join our little group" max said. David stared at him. Looking from the top of his light brown hair to the toes of his leather shoes, he looked for any sign that he was kidding. Seeing none he asked the question that usually came next in these conversations.
"How do you want me to get her this time?" he asked, remembering this exact conversation when Max had said, 'I want a daughter' meaning Star. He didn't even get to pick which girl got to be his sister. Nope, instead he got….. Star. She wasn't even pretty. But that wasn't his choice. He suddenly realized that Max was talking.
"… has two sons named Michael and Sam. She cares deeply for them. All you have to do is get her sons under our control. Start with Michael…."
"I get it. Start with her kids then get to her. Same thing as always. Bye!" with that he left. He really didn't get that man. He did this at least once a year. He remembered Annie, Resse, Amelia, Mary, the list goes on and on. Now he had to get Lucy. Or at least Lucy's kids. He went find Star and eventually found her pulling Laddie along to the arcade. "Star! Over here." Star turned and saw David calling her name.
"What." She said. Most people didn't get why she stayed with them and sadly she couldn't tell them why. She belonged to David. She couldn't exactly tell him off. Then she'd truly be dead. So until her savior came she was stuck with the bastard.
"Max's in love. We have to find her kids."
"So…." Star said not sure what he was getting at
"We just have to find them. So deal with it. Their names are Michael and Sam." David said. Star walked off with Laddie and David went another way.
Star was hungry. No, starving was more like it. Animal blood helped but it was always ready to come back stronger than the day before. Looking around she saw her stalker from last night. She'd already decided he was cute, all she had to do is talk to him. "It's a rip-off." She whispered to him. Startled he turned around to look at her. "I could do it for you if you want." She continued smiling.
"No thanks." He said.
"My name is Star. What's yours?"
"Michael." He said. "Is he yours" he asked, indicating Laddie.
"Sorta. He's an orphan we found and took him in." she said. He smelled sweet. Oh no! Not now! But he really did smell sweet. She could his heart beating in his chest. A soft continuous thump, thump, thump, thump. This can't be happening. She thought. Trying to ignore it she kept the conversation going. "you were the guy following me last night, weren't you?" she asked. All he did was give her a creepy stalker smile.
oookkkk. She thought.
"So, want to get something to eat?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure." She said.
"Can I have a burger?" Laddie asked.
"Sure you—" Star was cut off as the sound of engines filled her ears. Seriously. She thought. Yes really. 's Michael. David thought back to her.
"Going somewhere, Star?" he said aloud.
"This is Michael." Star said.
"You know where Henderson's Bluff is?" David asked as Star slipped on behind him. Laddie did the same with Dwayne
"I can't beat your bike." Michael said.
No, duh David thought. Instead he said, "You don't have to beat me. Just keep up." With that David took off down the boardwalk. The others and Michael followed. The boys went down the stairs like they did it every day. Star looked back and saw Michael hesitate. She smiled at him. He saw and she saw him jump down from the stairs to the beach and follow, spraying a lot of sand in his wake. They rode through the forest, and she watched as Michael's bike almost passed David's bike. He'd almost seceded if he hadn't almost gone off a cliff. Michael fell off his bike trying to stop himself. As the boys laughed Michael's fist connected to David's face.
Bad idea thought Star. To her surprise David didn't punch him back. He simply said one thing.
"How far are you willing to go?" he asked. Michael looked at him, got back on his bike and started it up. Satisfied David rode off alongside the cliff. Michael followed slowly, but surely. They stopped at a cave. They got off the bikes and walked up the rickety stairs to the cave. Mike followed with caution. When they got inside David started his long speech about how the cave is actually a sunken hotel, how they made the mistake of building it on a fault line and so on and so forth. Star took Laddie and took him to the background.
"Marko! Food!" David commanded. Marko got up and left.
***** I have no idea what happens here*****'
"Feeding time!" Marko called as he returned. He walked in tossing everyone Chinese boxes.
"Chinese. Good choice." David said catching a box of his own. "Guest first" David said handing it to Michael.
"No thanks" Michael said.
"What you don't like Chinese? Tell me Michael, how can a billion Chinese people be wrong?" he asked. A few snickers were heard as Michael took the box and started eating. A few seconds of silence passed until David asked a certain question.
"How are those maggots"
"Huh?" Michael asked.
"Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste?" David smirked as Michael looked at his food and laughed with the rest of them as Michael threw the box down and spit out the rice.
"Leave him alone!" Star said. Shut up, bitch David thought at her, glaring. To his satisfaction she did just that. David raised some noodles to his mouth.
''Don't eat those. They're worms" Michael said.
"They're noodles, Michael." David said, stuffing the noodles in his mouth. oh how he loved mortals feel dumb. "See?" He made a 'come here' sign to Marko. "get the bottle" he whispered. Marko nodded and went to get it. Bringing it back he handed it to David. David took a swig and passed it to Michael. He looked at it. The liquid was dark red and the bottle was bejeweled with what looked like actual rubies and emeralds. The boys started cheering him on. Star decided to try and save him one last time.
"It's blood" she whispered. He gave her a look of disbelief and took a giant swig. The liquid was rustic and almost coppery. The chants erupted into cheers. Star went elsewhere with Laddie while the boys cheered over Michael. Around fifteen minutes later Michael stumbled home. David had a feeling that Max didn't want him to turn Michael. Oh well was all he had to say on the matter. Michael had potential. He was able to look at him and not shudder. There was a lot of things. But most importantly he got Star off his back. If Star fell in love with him then, she might leave him alone, stop questioning him and getting on his nerves. Yep he was a good choice.
this was my third time editing it. hope you enjoyed it!
