Chapter Three
The sun had just set in Santa Carla.
David and the other Lost Boys started to wake up and move around. David dropped from his perch on the bar and slipped his shoes on. He was ready to party all night and feed on the fools who flooded the boardwalk.
As he moved into the main area of the cave he froze. There were four human scents in the cave. He frowned and walked in looking around. There was evidence someone had looted through their stuff.
David smirked. Someone will die for coming here
Marko appeared with a frown on his face before freezing staring at the couch that had held his unique jacket. It was gone. Some fool had stolen his precious jacket. HE tightened his fists and ground his teeth.
When I find the fool who took my jacket they are gonna wish they had never been born
David couldn't help but agree. No one stole from them and got away from it. He started walking down the stairs before his eyes hit the bookshelf. There on the shelf was a gap where a book should have sat. He rushed over and reached into the hole but came up empty. David cursed. The fools had taken the blood. He turned to where the three other lost boys and half vampires stood.
"Spread out and find them. They are dead when we get the stuff back is that clear. I don't care how we fin…"
David shuddered and his eyes widened. "No" All the lost boys someone had drank the wine. Someone had just become a half vampire.
"Spread out and find them quick. We have ta find the half vampire before he or she loses control and Max finds out. You two stay here. Do not leave the cave for any reason."
The four lost boys rose up in the air and flew out of the cave toward their bikes.
They had to find the wine and half vampire before it was too late.
Santa Carla 5 minutes earlier
Kyle was bouncing around telling the younger kids about the find that he had found by the light house.
Mathew smirked and pulled the bottle of wine out of the bag. He opened the bottle and smelled the liquid.
He frowned. That smells like blood.
Mathew poured some into his hand and nearly dropped the bottle. He hastily put the bottle down and began wiping his hand on his pants.
Kyle saw what Mathew did and frowned. "What's ye're problem?"
Mathew looked up at him and frowned. "It's blood not wine."
Kyle grabbed the bottle and poured some in his hand. His eyes shot up. It was blood. He heard the sound of someone entering the building and smiled. Perfect
He turned to everyone and told them to be quiet.
Maya and Susan walked in from pit pocketing all day. Both were tired and crabby from how hot it was during the day.
Kyle turned to face Maya and smiled real big. "Hey Maya. You look exhausted. Here have a drink of this. It will make ya feel a whole lot better." He held the jeweled bottle out to her.
She frowned and shook her head. "No thanks."
Kyle frowned. He had to get her to drink. He sneered at her. "Big bad Maya is afraid of a little wine. Everyone else had some. Thought you were one of us. It's ok if you're scared Maya. No one would blame you if ya chicken out of drinking it."
Maya grinded her teeth. What she would give to push him down the stairs. She marched over and yanked the bottle from his hand. "I'm not scared of anything especially from a loser like you." She lifted the bottle to her lips and started gulping the liquid down.
Some of the kids started laughing while others winced. Maya lowered the bottle and licked her lips. She stared at it for a second before lifting it back up to her mouth and gulping more of the liquid.
Mathew had seen enough. He jumped up and yanked the bottle from her hand. "It's Blood Maya. How can ya keep drinking it like that?"
He closed the bottle and set it down on the ground.
Maya started to sway and fell forward. She would have hit the ground but Mathew caught her.
The only thing she could see was the fading faces of her friends before darkness consumed her.
