It was now Saturday and Rodella was down in the basement sorting through some of her old files and such.
She had already gone through several when she realized that the sun was about to come up and all the kids were still out on the balcony. Not only that but Ponyboy didn't have any sunscreen on. He was bound to get burned.
So she raced up to the seventh floor to wake them up. Once she was there she quickly shook Ponyboy awake.
"Ponyboy you have to get up. The sun is about to show. You can sleep once you're inside."
He just groaned and allowed Rodella to lead him back into the dark mansion.
She lead him to a couch near the wall that was completely hidden from the balcony windows. That way when the girls came in they could wake him up. He still had to go to school Monday so he would have to be on the same sleeping schedule as them, vampire or not.
A few hours later he was being shook awake by Mercy and Laela. The other three girls were already on their way downstairs for breakfast.
It only took a few minutes to get Ponyboy up. After it was done him, Laela, and Mercy made their way downstairs for breakfast.
When they got their Roxi, Rosey, and Adrian were already at the table eating bacon and pancakes. Rode all then put a plate out for Laela and Mercy and then went downstairs. She soon came up and handed a cup of blood to Ponyboy.
"Hey Rodella, we're all going out to the docks after we're done ok." Roxi asked.
"Alright." Rodella said as she made her way back down to the basement.
"What are we going out to the docks for?" Ponyboy asked.
"We want to show you something." Mercy said.
So they all finished and up and made their way into town.
Once they got to the docks the girls were shocked by the amount of people they saw their. They clearly hadn't been expecting that many.
"Why are there so many people? There usually aren't nearly as much." Said Rosey.
Mercy then saw a man walking along the docks and instantly recognized him.
"Let's ask Dave." She said as she walked towards him.
"Who's Dave?" Asked Ponyboy.
"He's one of the fishers here. He sells fresh seafood to Rodella's restaurant." Adrian answered.
"Rodella owns a restaurant?" Pony asked.
"Yeah. It's called the Dark Dungeon Cafe. We get stuff for free when we go there since we're her foster kids." Laela said.
"It's the most popular restaurant in Crowndane." Adrian said.
After that was said Mercy ran back over to them.
"So what's the deal?" Roxi Asked.
"The fishermen are holding their annual fishing contest early this year since a storm is supposed to come in next week." Mercy told them.
"What kind of fishing contest?" Ponyboy asked her.
"It's a contest to see who can catch the most fish in a week. They have it every year." Rosey said before Mercy could answer.
"So what do we do now?" Roxi asked.
"We could just go to the lake behind the mansion for now and come back here at night." Laela suggested.
So they were all on their way back to the mansion when they started to get thirst from walking around in the sun. So they all stopped at the Dark Dungeon Cafe for a smoothie.
They sat down outside and looked through the menus.
Roxi and Laela ordered coconut smoothies, Mercy ordered a mango smoothie, Rosey ordered a pineapple, and Adrian and Ponyboy ordered Vanilla.
"What's that island over there?" Pony asked as he looked into the distance.
"You can see the island?" Roxi asked.
"He has enhanced senses. He's a vampire." Mercy whispered like ii was the most obvious thing ever.
"It's called Jayza island. Not many really go out there." Laela said.
"Why not?" Ponyboy asked.
"There have been shark sightings and stuff like that."
Adrian said.
"Some people go out there to camp though." Rosey said.
"We'll show you the island tonight or tomorrow. It's kind of where we wanted to bring you." Roxi said.
"Why? What so interesting about it?" Ponyboy asked.
"There are a bunch of mysteries on that island. You'll be amazed. Trust us." Mercy said.
They then walked back over to their table to finish where the waiter was with their smoothies and started drinking them.
It was now early in the afternoon and Johnny and Dally were bound to show up at any minute.
Two-bit, Steve, Soda, and Darry were all in the living room sitting silently, waiting for them to show up.
Twenty minutes later they were there and once they saw the gang in the livingroom they were a little freaked out.
"What the hell's going on?" Dally asked.
"Where's Ponyboy?" Johnny asked after him.
"Ponyboy was taken away by the state." Darry said.
That infuriated Dally instantly. He started yelling curses and freaking out.
The whole gang was trying to calm him down but he only stopped when they all heard someone crying.
So they all walked into the kitchen and saw Johnny on the floor sobbing.
"Are you alright Johnny?" Two-bit asked as he took a step closer.
The only response he got though was Johnny curling up into a ball.
"Johnny it will be ok. We'll get him back." Soda said while kneeling down next to the kid.
"You don't know that for sure." Johnny whimpered.
"Yeah we do." Darry told him.
So that night Johnny cried himself to sleep while the rest tried to keep Dally calm with poker games and small talk.
Please review and tell me what you think. The next chapter will be up soon and it will involve more of the gang. So please tell me your thoughts and give feedback.
