Later in the night I was sleeping and I was awoken by motorcycles. I looked out my bedroom window to see five lights. I walked out of my bedroom and down the stairs. Was I the only one that heard them? I put my sneakers on and opened the door.
"Michael? Is that you?" I asked standing in the doorway.
"Torrie?" asked Michael. "What are you doing up?"
"You woke me up," I said and walked over to him while he was putting away his bike. I stared at him. He looked pale and he had an ear ring in his left year. I looked over at the other guys that were staring at us.
"Come here," said Michael taking my hand.
"Are you drunk?" I asked while he pulled me over to the guys.
"This is Paul, Marko, Dwayne and David."
"Hi," I said as I yawned. "So you're the ones racing on the beach?"
"How'd you know?" asked Michael.
"You almost ran me over ass."
"We're more skilled then you think," said David.
I nodded.
"Wait…why were you the beach?" asked Michael.
"I was on a date."
Michael laughed. "You?"
"Shut the hell up Michael before I scratch your damn eyes out."
David stared at me in wonder. He thought I was beautiful when I was angry. She has to be mine. She will be a great princess of darkness.
"Someone's in a cranky mood," said Marko.
"Wouldn't you be too if someone woke you up when you were sleeping peacefully?"
They nodded and I rolled my eyes.
"Moms, going to have your head you know? I'm going back to bed. Nice meeting you guys." I walked back in the house and Michael was still out there. I closed the door but looked out the window in it. David was staring at me. My stomach was starting to hurt me again. Oh God, what's wrong with me? I went up to my room and fell back to sleep. I heard the phone ringing when I woke up the next morning. I got dressed and walked downstairs.
"I think they are both sleeping," I heard Sam say. He looked over at me and started again. "Never mind the Princess is up." He put the phone down and looked at me again. "Moms, on the phone. She has a date with her boss tonight. She wants Mike to watch us."
"Oh yeah, he's going to be thrilled with that one, isn't he?" I asked sarcastically. I picked up the phone. "Hi mommy."
"Hi, sweetie. You just wake up?"
"Yeah, Mike woke me up when he got home last night."
"Is Mike still asleep?"
"I'm not sure let me ask Sam."
I put the phone to my chest. "Sam, is Mike still asleep?"
"Yeah, let me go wake him and tell him to talk to mom."
I watched Sam run up the stairs and put the phone back to my ear. "Sam's going to go check on Mike mom. So how's everything at the store?"
"Fine, we had a little trouble with the TVs. They were acting strange but now they are up and running."
I heard Mike on the other line and hung up. I walked up to my room and heard Mike arguing on the phone with our mother. I rolled my eyes and started blasting my radio. I laid on my bed thinking of Edgar. I smiled thinking of when he kissed me. I heard knocking on my door and Mike came in.
"David wanted me to tell you that he wants you and him to meet up at the boardwalk by the video store," he said and started walking out.
"Wait! Why?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know, maybe he wants to get to know you. Who knows?"
With that he walked out. Such fucking attitude anymore. I rolled my eyes while staring at my ceiling.
Late That Night….
I wore my favorite pair of jeans that were ripped on the sides and my white cami. My hair was down and hit my shoulder blades. I had my mom drop me off at the boardwalk before her and Max met up at the restaurant. I sat on the cement wall and stared out into the ocean. I sighed and leaned my head on the pillar.
"Hey," said a cool voice. I jumped from it almost losing my balance. He grabbed my hand making sure I didn't fall.
"Hi, David," I said smiling.
"You better be careful up there. It can be dangerous." He leaned on the stone wall.
"What's life without a little danger?" I asked smiling at him.
He nodded in approval of what I said.
"I love danger," I said and looked back at the ocean.
David smirked and I turned my head back towards him. "So my brother said that you wanted to meet me here. What's up?"
"Just wanted to see Michaels little sister, to see if she is everything I expected."
"And?"
"And I think she is."
"I see." I smiled and turned around and jumped off the wall. "Got everything you needed?"
"Not quite. I want to show you something. Come with me, Torrance." He held his hand out for me to take it. I looked around noticing that no one is seeing what is going on. Everyone is doing what they came here to do. If I turn up missing the next day there will be no witnesses seeing who I left with.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"It's a surprise."
I slowly took his hand and he walked me over to his bike. He got on and helped me on the back of it.
"You better hold on. You don't want to fall off and get hurt."
I wrapped my arms around him tightly and leaned my cheek on his back. He started off slowly then went fast. It felt as if we were flying, it was that fast. Everything and everyone was a blur to me. Once we got where we were going he stopped. He got up and helped me up. He still held onto my hand and I noticed we were on a cliff.
"Come on this way," he said and he drug me towards a cave. He helped me, making sure I didn't get hurt on edges or fell on a tricky step. He told me all about this cave, how it used to be a hotel and an earthquake happened and everything caved in. We walked into a little room passed where he said him and his gang sit and bullshit about anything. Everything was like in my dream. He turned to me and his glove touched my cheek. He rubbed my cheek and I closed my eyes.
"Torrance," he said softly in my ear. "Be one of us."
I opened my eyes and stared into his. They were hypnotizing me. I couldn't help myself from what I was doing. I felt as if I had to do everything he said. He was in control of me. No thoughts of Edgar, my family, or my past life was floating in my head. It was all David. Everything was David. He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back passionately and closing my eyes. I felt his mouth move to my cheek, my ear then towards my neck. He left light kisses on it at first then I felt pain. I felt my knees buckle and I held onto him tightly. I let out a moan full of pain. I gripped his hair roughly and the back of his trench coat. With one more shake the pain stopped. He was licking my neck and I felt faint.
"Torrance," he said and I opened my eyes. My vision was blurry but I could see the silhouette of his body. "You won't remember any of this until the end of the week. That's when I'll come back for you and finish."
I was feeling dizzy and holding tightly onto him. "David…" I started and fell unconscious.
I woke up with a pain in my neck and I was in my bed. My head was pounding and someone barged into my room.
"Where were you last night?!" yelled Michael.
"What?"
"Where did David take you?"
"What are you talking about? No where. All we did was talk at the boardwalk and then…" I tried to remember but I couldn't.
"What?"
"I can't remember."
"Do you remember drinking anything with him?"
"No," I said shaking my head. "Why?"
"No reason. Everything will be alright. I'll figure everything out soon."
I looked at him strangely as he walked out. I looked out my window and the sun was bright. I put my sunglasses on and walked to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and wore my hair down. I let my hair air dry and put a white skirt on with a white halter top. I walked downstairs still with the sunglasses on.
"Are the sunglasses a new trend everyone is doing?" asked my mom.
I didn't say anything.
"I don't know what has gotten into you, Michael and Sam but it has to stop. You and Michael have an attitude going on and Sam thinks vampires exist. Last night I found him sleeping with a necklace of garlic on."
I chuckled and sat down on the couch. I saw Sam walk down the stairs.
"Has Edgar called?" I asked.
"No."
"Well…are you going to see them today? I need to talk to him."
"I don't think he wants to talk to you right now. He said he saw you ride off with a guy last night."
"What are you talking about?"
"Go ask him."
