Chapter 7: Meeting our new dad

When we got to the boardwalk David said, ''Do you want to meet your new dad?''

''Yes, yes. Yes,'' I shouted. The boys were laughing and surprisingly so was Brooke-Ashley.

We made our way to the Video Store called 'Video Max'. We walked in and there were barely any people in. David walked up to the man behind the counter while the other boys looked about the store and us two just stood at the door. I could tell they were in deep conversation when the man suddenly took a glance at us and smiled. Then David turned round and looked at us, telling us to come over.

''Girls, this is Max,'' David said.

So Max owned the store. I liked him all ready. Max wore glasses and had brown hair and hip-hop clothes on and beside him was a white dog who just stared at us.

''Hello girls I'm Max and this is Thorn,'' he said. He held out his hand out for us to shake it.

We both shook it.

''It's nice to have some girls in the family and I hope you'll make a good addition to the family,'' he said kindly.

All we could do was smile.

''We'll boys as you can see I have customers so could you please leave?'' Max asked looking at the boys and then smiling at us.

''See you later girls.''

''Bye,''

We made our way outside and made our way to the bikes ready to go home.

''He likes you two very much,'' David said in our head.

''How do you know?'' I asked.

''I'm a vampire I can read people's mind,'' he explained.

''Cool can all of us do it?'' I asked.

''Yes and we have separate powers,'' he said.

''What's yours?'' I asked nicely.

''I can lour people with my mind and can control them,'' he said back.

''Awesome, what's everybody else's?'' I asked wanting to know.

''Wait till we get back to the cave,'' he said.

We got back to the cave arriving 1 hour before the sun had to come up.

We got inside and sat about the place and I turned to David. He knew what I wanted so he turned to Marko.

''Marko here can talk to animals, Paul, can lour people like me except from chicks dig me more because I'm more handsome,'' he said laughing.

''Yeah right,'' Paul said.

'' And Dwayne here works with his mind at doing stuff,'' he finished off.

''What about us?'' Brooke-Ashley asked.

''Your's might not have kicked in yet we'll just have to wait in see.'' he said smiling.

I looked over at Marko holding a pigeon so I walked over to him and sat beside him. He smiled as I appeared.

''Who's this?'' I asked.

''This is Ruby,'' he answered back.

''Wow she's beautiful,'' I said back.

''You want to pet her?'' he asked.

I petted the pigeon, she was so soft. Just then she flew away up to the top of the cave away where I couldn't see. I looked up and then back at Marko.

''How many pigeons do you have?'' I asked.

''About 5,'' Marko said with his Cheshire grin.

I smiled back. Everything was silent.

''LEIGH BEHIND YOU!'' Brooke-Ashley shouted pointing behind me.

I shot up as fast as lighting. To find nothing. I heard laughing behind me to find Dwayne and Brooke-Ashley and David laughing while Paul smirked as well as Marko.

''That wasn't funny,'' I shouted.

''Yes it was now you know how it feels to get it done to you,'' she said through laughter.

I ran towards her only she reacted and started to run around the cave laughing her head off. The boys just sat and laughed as well.

''Brooke-Ashley see when I get you you're dead,'' I said.

''Yeah that's if you get me,'' she shouted back.

''I will,'' I said.

I caught up with her and we both tumbled to the ground and all you heard was laughing coming from us.

''Gotcha,'' I said in her face.

''3,2,1,'' she counted down.

I ran this time and ran into one of the tunnels, down one hoping I didn't get lost. She was close behind me so I immediately stopped and turned round waiting for her to jump me. She jumped and I jumped and we both banged into each other. All you heard was a thud and it was silent.

''Leigh…Brooke-Ashley,'' the boys would shout when it was silent.

Just then me and Brooke-Ashley walked out together holding our heads as we banged heads together. They were looking at us smirking.

''Ow my head hurts,'' Brooke-Ashley moaned.

''Your heads made of metal Brooke-Ashley,'' I said rubbing my head.

That made the boys laugh and I glared at them but that made them laugh even harder.

''Aw come on babe, the pain will go away,'' Paul said trying to stop laughing.

''I don't care, it's freaking sore,'' I complained.

They just kept on laughing and this time Brooke-Ashley joined in while I sat there with a sore head.
