*Luna's POV*

"Hey, wake up Luna!"

"Hm, wha?" I groggily opened my eyes to find Rose gently shaking me awake, she & Katie were the only two that were (fully) awake, and I saw Katie get an evil smile on her face before leaning in close to Amber's ear. I quickly plugged my ears so my eardrums wouldn't burst.

"HEY!"

Amber screamed & bolted upright while Katie began laughing her ass off, getting strange looks from the other passengers on the bus.

"You bitch!" Amber punched Katie in the shoulder & Rose scolded them when they started play-fighting.

'It's too early for this shit.' I shook my head at their childish behavior before yawning & stretching my stiff muscles. 'How long have I been asleep for anyway?'

I looked out the window to see that the sun was setting, so I'd slept though the day.

"Hey, look!" Amber started pointing out the window, I looked up ahead & saw a huge billboard sign that read Welcome To Santa Carla!, I turned to look as we went past it to see that someone had spray-painted Murder Capitol Of The World on the back in blood-red letters.

"Murder Capitol Of The World huh? Sounds like fun." Katie seemed more annoyed than intimidated at the warning, but I couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy.

I really hope that it was just some moron's idea of a joke.

I paused when I suddenly felt a strange tugging sensation in my chest and put my hand over my heart, only to feel it pounding beneath my palm. I breathed slowly, trying to calm my racing heart, and eventually it went back to normal.

'Strange, that's never happened before...'

"Luna, are you ok?"

I turned to see Rose looking at me in concern and nodded before trying to give her a reassuring smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a bit nervous I guess." She looked like she didn't buy it completely, but nodded anyway and turned to keep an eye on Katie & Amber.


The bus had finally stopped, we quickly got off and groaned as we stretched our aching legs.

"I hate public transportation!" Katie groaned while cracking her back. I looked around and was amazed at what I saw.

We were right next to a boardwalk, the bright flashing lights from various rides, the smell of carnival food & ocean air, and the distant sound of music from a live concert assaulted my senses as I took it all in. Not to mention that most of the people here were dressed a lot like us!

All in all, it was amazing!

"Ok, lets try to find a motel, then we'll look around the boardwalk. Sound good?"

The others nodded & we started looking, it took us almost two hours before we finally found a cheap motel room with two beds. We were used to sharing beds by now, so we didn't really care.

After getting the keys to our room, I slipped mine in my pocket before we headed off to the boardwalk. After the bus tickets & the motel room, we had about $4000 left (hey, we've been saving for months!)

"Ok girls, looks like we each get some spending money, just don't spend it all in one night. That means you Katie!" I teased while handing over her share and she stuck her tongue out at me before grabbing it & putting it in her pocket.

"Why don't we get something to eat first? I'm hungry as hell!"

"That's because you smoked two joints in one hour genius." Amber teased & Katie grabbed her in a headlock before giving her a noogie, Amber managed to break free & they started play-wrestling.

I shook my head at their antics before looking around & spotting a hotdog stand a few feet away.

"Since we're on a budget, how does hotdogs sound?"

They all made noises of agreement and I shooed the diabolical duo away to find a bench while Rose & I went to get the food. We'd all decided on foot-longs since we wanted to get something cheap yet filling, and it was only $2 for a foot-long.

Rose & Katie wanted theirs with nacho cheese, Amber wanted relish, and I decided to just get ketchup. I was standing in line with Rose when I suddenly got that tugging feeling in my chest again, only it was much stronger this time.

I turned when I heard the sound of motorcycles and felt like my heart was gonna burst out of my chest when I saw four men go by.

The one in front had a platinum blonde mullet & the most piercing-blue eyes I've ever seen, he was obviously the leader. There was a girl on the back of his bike, she was dressed like a gypsy and her dark brown hair was huge & curly, but I didn't pay too much attention to her.

As the others went by, I noticed that the second one looked like Twisted Sister, and the third one had an amazing patchwork jacket on that I know Amber would love to steal.

When my eyes landed on the fourth, I swear I felt my heart stop.

He was different from the others due to the fact that he was (quite obviously) Native American due to his dark hair & copper skin. I briefly wondered what tribe he was from before I noticed that there was a little kid who couldn't have been older than ten on the back of his bike, his brown hair nearly reached his shoulders & his military jacket looked absolutely adorable on him, he was most likely his little brother or his son.

The man's dark eyes suddenly locked with mine and I felt my face heat up before quickly turning away to see that Rose was staring after them too. I heard someone clear their throat and saw that the vendor had our order ready, so I got Rose's attention & we paid for the food before walking over to Katie & Amber.

We started eating before I noticed that the guys from earlier were parked about twenty feet away from us.

The girl & the kid from earlier weren't with them and I almost busted out laughing when I noticed that they were dressed almost EXACTLY like us (with a few minor differences of course) but managed not to do so as I kept eating.

"Hey, if you girls like 'em big, I got a king size for ya!" The one that looked like twisted sister (and Katie's near-double due to how he was dressed) yelled & I rolled my eyes as the dark haired one slapped him in the back of the head.

"No thanks, we're not into cocktail weenies!" I yelled back, causing his friends to double over in laughter & the girls to giggle. We quickly finished our food before throwing out our trash & walking off into the crowd, I heard the sound of boots following us and went to move closer to the girls.

"Heeey beautiful, what's your name?"

I turned when I felt someone grab my arm & found an (obviously) drunk guy with a giant green mohawk getting a little too close for comfort. I pulled my arm free of his sweaty grip and grimaced.

"None of your business. Now back off!"

"Hey now, don't be like that! Come hang with me & I'll show you what it's like to be with a real man."

I smirked before moving closer & putting my arms around him.

"Sorry honey, I'm not into pussies." I whispered in his ear before pulling away and shoving him backward, he stumbled for a bit before landing flat on his ass, causing his friends to laugh as I walked away to rejoin the girls. I moved up next to Katie and saw her smirk as I held up the wallet that I'd snatched off of him.

I heard someone chuckle and turned to see the four bikers from earlier not far behind us, the leader was smirking at me and I teasingly put my finger to my lips before smiling & turning away to hand the wallet to Katie, who stuck it in her coat pocket.

I saw a carousel up ahead and we made our way towards it, the sound of heavy footsteps following us there.
