A Vampire Romance

Non Beta version for now!

Disclaimer; I do not own the lost boys or any of the characters of the movie! I merely wrote this to amuse others and myself with it; this is fan fiction, nothing more!

Description: Someone else here that noticed the look Dwayne gave the cute girl in the video store too? I was wondering what could have become of the two, a little warning, I was in one of my romantic moods so beware of this when you read this story (Sweat-drops madly)

Rating; M

Beta;


Warnings; My bad grammar and spelling. Several killing moods of the actors, blood, vengeance, murder, mention of murder, gore, blood play, crime and murder scenes, cursing, sexual situations not suited for minor aged people, male to male relationships female/male relationships, violent scenes, and other I cant think of it now.

Other, I hope I have made a halfway god job with Dwayne´s character in this. From what I saw in the film and read in the book, he was more the silent watcher type of a person. Maria is the employee of Max in the film and the book. I really wonder why they cut her part out of the film! She is a formidable actress that plays her role and a beautiful one too (pouts)

Pairings; Several different but in this the main pair is Dwayne / Maria.

An important note from the authoress, please read!

I am native German so please bear with my English before you go ballistic and flood my reviews box with flames and such.


I write now for nearly one and a half year and have gotten tons of better in time…still; my English is not good enough. Since a nice person has told me she would beta this for me, expect the Beta chapters as soon I have them back from her
To everyone else, have fun by reading my stories and I hope I am not too bad in my writing skills.

To have a fight over a chicken

Maria opened her eyes in a dimly lit room.

She stretched out on her bed with a cats grace and looked over to the other side of her small bed to where Laddy lay, huddled into himself with her only reminder of her brother cuddled into his small arms. It was a huge teddy bear, already half falling apart. The boy seems not to care.

He could not look cuter as now even if the boy would have tried it!

His still sleepy face told the Latina all too clearly that it still was day and Laddy would not wake up before dawn.

She tucked the sheets more securely around the boy who promptly snuggled his cute little nose under them.

It also brought the knowledge back to Maria that she still had a male vampire called Dwayne in the other room of her small flat!

The thought brought the strange warmth over the girl's senses that calmed Maria and thrilled her at the same time. Maria could not remember the last time she awoke with another person in her room. Laddy did not really count, he was still half she realized and a child too.

Dwayne…yes the native looking male was a completely different case.

His looks were captivating for Maria and his eyes, these dark eyes made her knees feel like jelly all the time he looked with them at her. Idely Maria asked herself how many girls and women already fell for the dark vampire and then got killed from him. It wasn't a nice thought but she was thinking it none the less.

He wasn't much of a talker but that was ok with Maria. She did normally not love it too much too to talk and was rather found watching others interacting with each other around her. Silence was golden, her grandmother had told her often and Maria believed in this given advice more then anything else.

Her legs touched the floor and she navigated her way through her bedroom with ease, even in the dim light from outside.

Her feet brought her to her bathroom next to her bedroom and there she washed and dressed into a t-shirt and a jeans. Both in a light blue color. Then she went out into the room, Dwayne still slept i. His eyes snapped not open and his body gave no move away. He did not even seem to breathe, for a moment that startled Maria but then she shrugged and went to her kitchen.

This room lay on the darker side of the house. This side faced the wall of the next house and never let the rays of sun into the rooms on this side of her house. Mostly she needs to hit the light button on the wall when she wanted to cook, even in the midday. Now she realized, it must be near fife a clock in the afternoon and so Maria had to use the light of the kitchen lamb to light her working for a meal. The kitchen soon smelled after wonderful things that could make mouths water.

These smells of a good Mexican food woke Dwayne from his sleep.

Despising all what humans thought to know about vampires, his kind eat normal food, the food just gave them not enough what they needed to live. Blood was a needed substance for surviving but they actually could eat normal food too.

The smells of her cooking brought him fast to his feet and even faster in the kitchen. The last night Dwayne had discovered that this room was constantly in a shadowy state because of its lack of sunlight even during the day. First he had thought of it to sleep there but then he let it be and settled onto the floor of her living room instead…more room here for his long legs!

Maria did not see Dwayne coming and so she jumped high into the air when he suddenly leaned over her shoulder to look at what she just did.

With his body so near to hers that there were no room for even an hair between them and his hands on her hips, Maria grew increasingly nervous with each passing second. It was clear after what Dwayne was after! His soft chuckle told her this clearly and she toyed for seconds with the thought to hit him with the half of the chicken in her hold over his head for it!

As if sensing that she was about to hit him, Dwayne hastily retreated from her but not before his hands had slide along her soft curves. When Maria hurled around to give the cocky vampire a piece of her mind, Dwayne was already out of the kitchen again and she could only hear him softly laugh in the nearby room. Now fuming, Maria tried to will the blush from her face and went on to slice the chicken into small pieces.

Males, give them a finger and they take under guaranty the entire arm that the finger and hand belong to, too!

She snorted, but it felt good to be touched from Dwayne like this and she shivered slightly and not from feeling chilly. When Maria went to her other room, she found no trace of Dwayne but the other half of the already sliced chicken had vanished from the plate!

Along with some potatoes and sauce and some fried vegetables that she before arranged on the table a little away from his resting place…now Maria was cursing, loudly!

Soon she found out that Dwayne had gone.

Outside it was already dark and she realized suddenly that she had spent two hours inside the kitchen alone. Today was her day of and so Maria wanted nothing other as to chill out and read or draw or look TV. A sudden sound of little feet that came from her bedroom told her that the tall vampire had left Laddy with her. When the child emerged from the bedroom door, Maria took the youth in her arm, wished him a good morning, err night and then went with Laddy still on her arm to her bathroom to make the boy a bath.

Half an hour later both feasted at the meal and then began to play with her game console.

Dwayne watched this all out of a safe distance. He was pleased that she and Laddy go along so fine.

When he was sure that the boy was safe with her, his feet left the earth and his body took air. In a few minutes he reached the stronghold of his clan. David, being mostly up earlier as the rest of them awaited Dwayne already in the entrance of the cave.

"She is nice, huh?"

There was a silent laugher in David's voice when he addressed the darker one of his brothers. David saw Dwayne tense a little and then shrug his shoulders. He mumbled a yeah the leader of the little clan of vampires grinned, his brother liked the silent Latina more as he gave away, that much was sure!

Behind him, David could hear the normal mocking fights between Paul and Marco begin. Star´s voice who told the two to stop their childish behaves and to leave her bed in one piece made David grin even more. The two again seem to have chosen Star to be their prank receiver for this night.

Beside him Dwayne laughed with him silently at the sounds that came from the cave.

"Yes, David I like her more then only much. I want her as mine. Will you let me have her?"

At this admission, David's pale blue eyes meet Dwayne's nearly onyx colored ones within a fraction of a second. The sudden silence in the cave told David that his brothers had heard this admission from their normally so elusive brother as well and went silent to listen how David's answer would be.

A few minutes went by before David finally ended his scrutiny of Dwayne and slowly nodded.

"Sure I will, if this is what you want. I saw your looks at her before but never believed that she could mean more to you as a nice fuck or even a meal, now I know she does. You could have told me this before you idiot! Then she would live already here, you know that. By the way, where is Laddy?"

"I left him with her. She cooked and I don't think he could get something better to eat as that what she cooked. Besides she will take a good care of him as long he is with her and I know that! But I wanted first to find out if she is really the one I want to be with for the rest of my existence and not make an error!" He fell silent then almost as if Dwayne was speaking to himself and not to David he spoke again.

"Had you ever the feeling too before that you suddenly know this is what you want the most and nothing other could change or replace it?"

At David's nodding head, Dwayne gave a shy smile to his leader and shrugged his shoulders, hands in his pockets.

"Well, with her I have this feeling. Even more then only this feeling and all I know is that I want her, need her and will have her!"

David gave a short laugh to Dwayne's possessive sounding last sentence then he calmed again and gave the tall man beside him a sharp look.

"And what if she refuses it to let us turn her? More so, later refuses it to kill…" his eyes grew distant, Dwayne wanted nothing other as to go inside and hit some sense into Star, for hurting his leader like she did it. Didn't she know already that she would die in less as a year if she refused it to feed for much longer!?! His leader would be forced to kill her soon to prevent Star from becoming a mindless zombie. Now, after he had found the one for him, Dwayne understood much better what David faced each night she still went on to refuse it to accept her fate.

His eyes softened at the look of pain that David showed in his eyes for a second.

"I think I found a way to prevent that." Dwayne grinned at his friend and told him about Marias father again and the plan that Dwayne had formed out in his head when he happily ate the half of the chicken and the rest of the meal. David seems to think over his little plan for a few seconds then a devilish grin made its way onto his face.

"I think we can manage that."

Was all he told Dwayne before both went inside of the cave and got the others.

Maria and Laddy played meanwhile two of her games and had lots of fun.

Laddy loved the way she treated him. Star always made him feel like a younger brother but Maria, somehow she too gave him this feeling but at the same time, Maria made him feel at home. Like a mother would do it and Laddy begun to wonder how it was to have a mother, or a person that took this role in his life. Sure that was not what Dwayne had in his mind when he brought him here…right?

Laddy scratched his head, this thought was absurd!

Dwayne would never try to find himself a mate and Laddy a mo…? ...! His head shoot up and the youngster looked again at the woman beside him that currently bit her lip meanwhile she tried to pass a particular hard part of their current game. She seems not to get aware that he was staring at her now.

And what if he did exactly that? What if his older brother/ nearly father like figure had brought him here to see how he would react to his chosen one?

Laddy knew already through Marco and Paul and Dwayne that Star was David's chosen mate. He was still a child and the others held the beast inside of him in check all the time with their powers to let him grow up before he could be one of their group.

Dwayne once tried to explain the child how that worked but failed miserably and soon gave it up. Laddy just knew that it worked for him…but not the same way for Star. She was already an adult and soon her inner demon would take over and slowly kill her body and spirit until she was nothing more as a wandering corpse. The boy shuddered at the thought that David would kill her before that happened.

Suddenly he feared that Maria would risk that too and so hurt Dwayne and him in the process.

"Maria? Can I ask you something?"

Laddy bit his lip nervous; he hoped the dark skinned member of the lost boys would not spank him for his boldness to ask her this.

"Sure honey, go ahead and ask!" Her deep brown eyes meet the blue ones of the boy who chewed his bottom lip between his pointy sharp teeth. Maria had the feeling the child wanted to ask her something big. She laid the game pad out of her hands and went around, facing the maybe 7 years old.

Laddy gulped a lump in his troth down and then asked his question.

"Do you like Dwayne? I mean like a lover and don't look at me with that look, Maria. I am maybe young but I am not stupid, and I life longer with them as you would believe it. To be like me means that you see some things you better do not and I ask this because I like Dwayne very much and do not want him to get hurt like David is it all the time because of Stars refuse to feed."

His question hit Maria like a gush of cold water.

Laddy´s eyes suddenly seem to be so much older as they should and she slowly began to understand of what the boy was up to with his question and explanation.

She concluded it together in her mind that he feared that she would reject his tall friends love and care if he tried to make her to one of them…for the first time of her life, Maria did not know what to answer.

The Latina tried to think over Laddys question with a calm and rational mind.

What if he really tried that and turned her into such a, a being. She was surprised how calm her thoughts reacted to the fact that he was propably up to do exactly this and Maria was not sure if she would reject this or not. Troubled she met Laddys gaze again.

"I don't know how I would react if Dwayne would do that to me…surely not pleased but also I would not freak out. To answer honest to your main question; I do like him. Very much so, to be honest, and that I do since a while now. He sure is attractive and handsome, but is that enough to give up my live? I don't know, Laddy.

I don't know if I could deal with it to kill another human to stay alive, please understand that. All I know isthat I like Dwayne and begin to like him even more as only that."

She saw him nod and then chew anew at his lip. The boy seems troubled and Maria had the suspicions that came from what he told about this Star girl she saw so often with them.

"But you would kill your father, you told Dwayne yourself so last night." He fixed her gaze with his. When you feed for the first time, they told me you will change. They don't see after that, the humans any longer as their race or kin. And even only half a vampire as I be it now, I already begin to feel this change and pull too. Maybe it is part of it to be a vampire? I don't know. All I know is that I do no longer see them like my kind, or me as a human. I would never want to be one again! I can fly now, see better and be no longer ill. Nobody can simply throw me around any more and hit me when they feel like it!"

His cute little nose twitched and he pouted cutely at Maria.

What could she say to something like this?

It was true! If she could, Maria would go and kill him and his friends without to feel any regret afterwards. Because, they killed her brother and her grandmother and made Maria´s live to a living hell. He seems to feel instinctually what Maria had in her mind and looked almost pleadingly up to her. Suddenly she had a lapful Laddy clinging on her that hugged her with unbelievingly strength and sobbed into her shirt.

"Please, drink from the bottle when they give you it and then feed! I like you really much and don't want them to kill you, please?"

Maria gulped at the pleading voice and look she earned from the shaken boy in her lap. What could she possibly say to something like this? Suddenly a strong gush of air told them both that the vampire was just about to enter her flat through the open window.

Faster as she could see, Laddy was out of her lap and in the bedroom again.

One last pleading look and Laddy was out of her sight. His words still rung in her head…please drink and feed…she shock her long dark hair and turned around to look at Dwayne. To her surprise, he was not alone.

The entire gang seems to stand right behind her, leaning at her walls or looking through her drawers. Paul seem to find her book board over her TV with the videos stapled onto, interesting. David just stood beside the smaller frame of Marco and watched her out of his pale blue eyes. With a look she could not identify. Marco seem to find her game amusing and took Laddys abandoned game pat to try to play it. Star had a worried look in her dark eyes, directed at the dark haired Maria. It spoke volumes of her fears and Maria felt the sudden urge to gulp.

Dwayne just strode over to where she sat on the cushion on the floor and sat down next to her.

Instinctively, Maria knew that that what Laddy feared was just about to happen and she decided to let them not know that Laddy had tried to warn her.

"Dwayne! What did you think to eat half of my chicken that was meant for Laddy and then just make a vanishing act?!"

For two seconds, every one in the room froze in place…then a loudly laughter coming from the rest of David's gang made the walls of her flat shake.

The dark vampire twisted nervous into the cushion next to her and had the dignity to look at least apologizing and sorry at her. Behind her she could hear Paul's roaring laugher, the blonde hit the floor next to Marco who sniggered into his gloved hand at the sight of an remorseful looking Dwayne. David stilled his own laugher down to an equally nasty snigger and sat down on her sofa, avoiding it gracefully to knock her over when he tried to reach it with stepping over the on the floor sitting and laying people. Star just sat down onto another cushion and placed herself next to Paul. She was also laughing at the pitiful picture their friend made under Maria´s angry and accusing stare.

She simply ignored them all and intensified her glare at him. Suit him right for doing that and then vanish!

Dwayne gave a apologizing look and scratched his head, man she was really angry!

And the others made her nervous, he could tell.

"I am sorry, I really am! It smelled too good to miss and there was still the half you was slicing!" now Dwayne felt better, of course he had forgotten that she still had the other half of that dammed bird with her in the kitchen when he happily consumed the first half in the living room.

"That's not the point, Dwayne and you know it! So stop that act already. You could have asked, you know? Or just waited for the rest of us to eat with you…but no, you had to eat all alone and then to vanish. You…you did not even tell me…tell me, if you liked it or not…" The last came out as if she had not wanted to say that. She sounded more as slightly hurt.

Dwayne knew in this second that he made a big mistake!

Never forget to tell a woman that cooks for you how good it was!

He gulped.

Her eyes seem to shoot fire at him at this very moment. Even Laddy came out of the bedroom again at all the laugher in the room and sat down beside of David to listen to their conversation out of the safe distance of David's lap. Out of her eyes she saw Star hold out her arms to the boy but Laddy shock his head and stayed where he was.

It was safer here!

Behind Maria, Paul hastily rolled backwards until his wild mane hit Stars knees and placed his mob inside of the gypsy looking girl´s lap. Marco gave Dwayne a pitiful look and grasped another cushion from the floor to hold it in his arms like a shield. Her dark eyes meet his for a second before Maria snorted and went her blazing eyes back to Dwayne who now held his hands up in a sign of, don't hit me!

Now she had to laugh, if she wanted it or not.

With her laugher the sudden tension in the room seems to vanish and soon the others did just the same. She just could not stand it to stay mad at Dwayne when he looked at her like this!

Behind him David´s lips held an amused grin, Maria could see the scrutiny gaze of the vampire soften and then vanish out of his eyes. Instead there was now a nearly gentle look inside of them that made her wonders about David's character. As it seems, David wasn't that cold hearted bastard that she had always believed that he was.

Could this night bring out anymore wonders?

…three-shot? Yes, I think that sounds good…sweat drops madly…Uhm, ignore me, please. I really wanted to write a one-shot I swear! Now look what I did! It seems my mind has a will of its own…anyways, I hope you all had fun with the story so far! If so, please hit the review button and let me know. I treasure every comment I get from you all
