David glared at the trio in front of him, his blue eyes trying to strike them down. Marko darted his eyes between Paul and David and chewed his fingernail, something was wrong. Paul grinned wider and rocked the girls shoulders back and forth making her hair move, "Assholes giving her trouble." Paul chuckled and gestured behind to the men almost upon them. They'd slowed down since noticing Dwayne and David glaring down upon the situation.
"On that note." She mumbled and side stepped out of Paul's hands towards Dwayne as she got ready to make her escape.
Paul caught her wrist and pulled her back to him, they heard David growling but Paul just grinned, the bleach blonde had been in a mood for the past day, he was only trying to lighten him up.
"Chill out girl, they won't hurt you with us."
"I just might hurt you if you don't keep your hands off." She snapped and pulled away. Dwayne, Marko and Paul were snickering when the guys caught up. They were all out of breath, typical Surfer Nazi type guys. Two of them, the biggest of the group, had busted lips, one had a black eye and blood trickled down the side of his face.
"Out of the way Lost Boys." The biggest on sneered, his nose was smashed to one side, it had already gone purple and was bleeding down his face.
Annie stood between the boys, they'd circled her and she knew it wasn't an accident. They were pack hunters and they thought she was prey. They'd thought wrong. She side eyed to where David was stood. His blonde hair styled a bit flamboyantly than she'd remembered, he was wearing long dark clothes that really went with the gangs biker vibe. His face hadn't changed, he was still handsome with strong features and stubble. She refused to look at his eyes though. She knew he was staring at her, through her, trying to figure her out. Those eyes could make her do anything and right now he had the look he'd give one of his boys if they'd tried to make a move on her in the snooker hall.

She wanted to turn to him, put her hands on his face and push her face into his chest and just take in his smell. But she wouldn't. She couldn't. If her master found out that David was here, almost alive and well then he'd rip him apart to teach her not to run away again. She shuddered at the thought and David's eyes narrowed, she'd have to big down deep and pretend.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by Paul waving one hand in front of her face, the other hand had moved to rest on her hip.
"You with us there?" He grinned and point back at the men watching them, "You do that?" He pointed at the guys crumpled face.
Annie gave him a smirk, "You think that's bad? You should see the other guy."
Paul howled, all his hair moving as he laughed and Marko chuckled loudly. The boys behind her made no noise. The Surfer Nazi's lost patience and two dove between Paul and Marko to get Annie. She punched one in the jaw as he knocked her to the ground, Marko had caught the other and pushed him back into one of the other guys. Paul and other already had each other by the shirt, pushing and pulling each other, Paul laughing loudly.

The air was knocked out of her lungs when he fell on her, he was damn heavy and he punched down wildly at her, hitting her stomach making her feel sick. His hand slipped between her thighs and Annie jerked her knee up hitting him in the crotch, hard. He slumped forward onto her, she could hear the guys scuffling above her, he fell heavily onto her with his neck across her face. She could feel his pulse on her lips and the blood rushing through it. God she was so hungry. The smell took over her senses, Paul must have busted someone's face because it was in air, mixed with his laughter. David clearly had secrets of his own, maybe if she just had a taste just one small kill she would be strong to beat her master. She felt her bloodlust coming, the familiar pain that made her want to double over and scream. Then he was gone.
She lay there and saw the boys standing over her, Dwayne and Marko were holding the guy up by his jacket. David's glare got worse. He stared down at her, her curls were almost fanned out, her shirt had come up over her stomach and they could see the red marks where the asshole had punched her. But that was how he knew this was his Annie. Her face was flushed, her eyes half lidded, this is how she used to look after he'd had he way with her, after he'd pulled her back into bed time after time in the same night even though they both had places to be. It was the face she made when they were with his old gang and he'd have his hand under the table running up and down her thigh whispering about what he was going to do to her when they were alone.

But now that face had blood on it, around her mouth where the guy had fell against her. She looked hungry.
Should I find that as hot as I do? Paul's laugh cut through their heads and David's glare cut him off.
Even suspended in the air by Dwayne and Marko holding him back, the Surfer Nazi lunged again, his jacket ripped as Marko attempted to pull him back. Annie whipped her leg up quickly kicking him in the face, his head snapped to the side and Dwayne and Marko dropped the passed out man.

"Thanks." Annie breathed and wiped the blood off of her face with the arm of her jacket. Marko helped her up and she took stock of the men in front of her. They all looked fine. A little excited but fine.
"So what was that about babe?" Paul grinned.
"It's Annie, not babe." She grumbled, "They got a bit handsy so I got a bit punchy."
He gave a sharp laugh and slung his arm over her shoulders, up close he smelt good. He was lucky he wasn't human. "Well Annie, why don't you come back to ours? That might keep you out of trouble for a bit. This is Dwayne and David by the way." He swung his other arm out to gesture to them.
Annie caught Dwayne's eyes and gave him a small meek smile, barely a twitch of her lips in thanks but she refused to look over at David as she slipped out from under Paul's arm.
"Thanks for everything, but I think trouble is exactly you have in mind." She mumbled and turned quickly to walk away, she knew Paul and Marko were both reaching for her, trying to stop her from leaving peacefully. The carousel wasn't far away, they couldn't just drag her away.
But David's voice stopped her.

"Annie."

Her whole body stopped. Her whole body shuddered. Even her mind stopped. Had she gasped? She hoped it was the wind. She hoped the boys hadn't heard or seen her reaction but she knew they had. After all these years, after walking out on her he could still do this to her. She heard Paul snigger. She's been heading back towards the boardwalk and looked down at an unconscious surf nazi near her and wondered which of the boys had been fighting him. Annie steeled herself. This was her defining moment. David couldn't know she recognised him, she had to disappear and make him believe she was a look-a-like. A funny smelling human who they'd happened upon.
She turned slightly, angling at her hips so she could look back at him without facing them entirely, she gave him a thin smile.
"Hmm? Dwayne was it?" Annie's voice was steady, she was proud of herself, until she caught his eyes. Instantly she felt his presence like a smoke through her mind, his voice whispering and whipping around her ears and through her hair. She narrowed her eyes and blocked it out like she did with her Master.
"David." The peroxide blonde corrected her, even though they both knew he didn't have too and David was sure his boys had picked up something was amiss, "We'll be seeing you soon."
It wasn't a question. He stared her down and she felt her whole body warm under his gaze. She turned back from him and gave the boys a half wave, "Hmm maybe, I'm not in town for long."
She began to walk away and David watched her hips move and tried to fight the urge to grab her by them and take her into the woods and have his way with her. Thirty years had left his need for his mate dormant and now it was back there was no telling what he'd do. He'd already eaten twice as much tonight.
"You'll be at the boardwalk." His voice was commanding and he saw her shiver as she left.

Once she'd gone Paul let out a long high whistle, "She was a wildcat. In fact I call dibs, I want a go on that!" He laughed and Marko high fived him until he felt a clawed hand curl into his long hair and he was yanked onto the floor next to the Surf Nazi that Annie had kicked in the face.
He snarled and kicked his leg out wrestling against David who held him down crouched next to him. "If you wanted her man you should have just said." Paul growled as David pushed him down more. Marko and Dwayne moved to help Paul. Glancing nervously between the two blondes on the floor.
"She is not on the menu." David's voice was final. An order. He looked up to check his other brothers understood and only when he was content did he release Paul and straight up straight.

Paul rolled on that his was sat with his legs sprawled out before him, his hair stuck up at wild angles and he had mud and blood on his face from the fight and his encounter with David. He folded his arms childishly and scowled, there was no grin, no giggle, no smirk. "Don't you think you should tell us what's going on?"
David's lip almost curled, ready to let rip again at the blonde. Marko spoke up, "She didn't smell right. She looked at you like she knew you." David's eyes slid over to the curly haired vampire, he used his innocent looks to get victims but he was always on the money, not quite as much as Dwayne, when it came down to body language. Marko, for his credit, gave David a lopsided grin, "She's not your secret girlfriend is she Davey?"
This time David did snarl.
The tension popped when they heard Paul complaining and David rounded on him, "What?" He hissed. Paul was checking the inside of his jacket and slapping the pockets on his tight jeans.
"Where's my stash?" He stuck out his lip and the boys looked confused at the sudden mood shift.
"You came out without something?" Dwayne seemed amused.
David pinched between his brow and his nose as Marko started to roll the still sat Paul a joint from his own stash, "Annie took it out your jacket when you carried her." Paul cocked his head slightly before giving Marko a big grin as the blonde passed the smoke down to him.
"I never saw." Marko argued and Paul nodded in agreement he inhaled the smoke, Dwayne shook his head when they looked to him, he hadn't seen her do it either.
"Educated guess." David spat out, since when did they think that could question him. Paul took another drag and pointed up at the bleach blonde, "So you do know her." He grinned when David snarled.

Annie ran, running was all she seemed to be doing recently. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any crazier, BAM! Here's her long lost lover looking just as possessive and drool worthy as ever. A few people on the boardwalk moved, the rest she barrelled into until she reached her hotel room. She slammed the door shut and slid down the back of it, resting her head on her arms folded on her knees. She tried to stop it, she felt it quivering up her body then she whimpered and let herself sob.
She slipped the papers and weed out of her pocket and threw them up onto the nearby counter. She felt about taking them from Paul, he had been a lot more helpful in that fight than she could have imagined.

How the fuck did she get here?

How the fuck did David get here?

It had been a long time since she'd seen him, made longer by the hunger that ravaged her body every day. No one should be able to do what she had done. She crawled to her bed where her rucksack lay open and slid two flasks out, one full of her Master's blood and another with deer blood. This was all she had left. She shook as she unscrewed her Master's blood and took a deep gulp before forcing herself to pull it away. Her body shook as she screwed the top back, she felt her fangs and claws and the blood slip down the edge of her mouth before her tongue darted out to not let any of it get away.

She'd have to use it sparingly. She hadn't wanted to drink her Master's blood away but it would keep her strong enough to survive David and the Lost Boys for now. It was how she'd survived all these years. Feeding off her Master and animal blood, the mix had been enough to stunt her ageing which had vexed her massively at the beginning.

It wouldn't matter soon, her Master had only given her two weeks to do as she wished before he would come for her and make her feed. He had no more patience for her. Annie shuddered at the thought. She was ready to be a Vampire, she'd been stuck in limbo for so long but turning would mean she would be her Master's property, it would be official and she wouldn't be able to use the sun to escape anymore. She crawled onto the bed and glanced over to where she'd stuck up her own black out curtains.

She didn't have long to do what she came here to do. David was a problem she wasn't expected and Annie knew he wouldn't have changed. He'd want answers that she couldn't give.

After they'd gotten back to the cave, David had taken another swing at Paul and Marko, both of his blonde brothers jumped away and had enough sense to disappear into the alcoves of the cave for a while. Their questioned about Annie had been nonstop and when David ignored them they sang songs about them 'kissing in a tree' to him in their minds. Laddie, oblivious to the tension, rushed up to Dwayne and the dark haired vampire picked him up and swung him around slightly.
Star stood near the curtain to her bed, watching as David dropped himself into his wheelchair throne and Dwayne sat on one of the sofas with Laddie, who curled up against his side reading a children's book that Marko had stolen from the back seat of one of his victim's car.

Anger rolled off David in waves.
You knew something was coming. Dwayne asked him through their mind, it wasn't a question but he knew David would tell him nothing if he knew Star could hear. David for his part didn't reply but glared the broken fountain as though he could set fire to it with his mind.
Is she a threat? Dwayne probed but he didn't look up from the picture Laddie was showing him in the book.
David bristled in his wheelchair but he replied, She shouldn't be like that.
What is she to you? Dwayne probed.

She's his girlfriend! Marko butted in giggling and Star and Laddie both jumped at David's vicious snarl.
He's already got star, Davey you shouldn't be so greedy. Paul joined in and the leader and his second in command could feel the both blonde Vampire's amusement.
Dwayne looked up from where Laddie had snuggled in tighter to him, David looked ready to kill.
What should she be like? Dwayne prompted, hoping the other two fools would butt out, something wasn't right about that girl tonight.

Naked! Marko and Paul cheered together from their safety inside the cave.
David used his connection to push down onto their minds and was satisfied when both whimpered. It was a while before he gave a reply, spoken aloud for Dwayne to hear, "She should be old, or dead."
David looked up and caught his brothers eye, Dwayne glanced at Star and back to David, "Was she a replacement?"
David when back to glaring at the fountain, "A piss poor one."

He mused as Dwayne moved to put Laddie to bed, it would be daybreak soon and he'd need a plan. He was now certain that this was his Annie and he needed answers and from previous experience she'd need persuading before she told him anything. If he went in and tried to drag them out of her it would never work. He hoped she didn't do something foolish like try to run during the day, he loved the chase but he wasn't sure he could control the beast within. He looked over where Dwayne lay Laddie down and smirked. Dwayne caught his eye and stared, he'd seen that smirk before and it never ended well. He was just glad David knew, like this new woman, Laddie was off the menu.
