Authors Note: Where did all my reviewers go?! Was the last chapter THAT bad? Eh. I agree actually. Anyway, I'm soooooooo sorry for not updating. My laptop decided to crash on me on Saturday. According to my cousin, the tech whiz, My motor needs to be replaced and Windows needs to be reinstalled. Basically, I lose EVERYTHING! I spent all day Sunday resurrecting this old, dinosaur of a desktop computer that hates me. I'll try to re-write the next two chapters by the end of tonight. Sorry for the wait!
Disclaimer- I don't own anything related to the Lost Boys or Robin Wassermann's Chasing Yesterday. However, I do own this plot line, Hayley, Spencer, and the rest of my OCs. I also don't own any Songs used in this chapter. I kinda wish I owned Pete Wentz tho!

Hayley's sleep was once again disturbed as someone roughly grabbed her arm and yanked her off the bed. She looked up to see Spencer smiling crookedly at her, Mara behind him.
"I'll give you a five second lead. Start running." Hayley said menacingly.
Spencer just laughed and helped her up. Hayley immediately tackled him to the ground again, punching his chest lightly. Mara watched them amused.
"Alright, alright. Save it for Lysan you dorks." She said rolling her eyes.
The pair got up and dusted themselves off, shooting each other playful glares.
"So, what possessed you to wake me up this early…or late?" Hayley asked, looking at the sun outside the cave. It was only around 2 in the afternoon.
"Easy. Lysans coming and you need to remember how to kill things." Mara said bluntly.
Spencer gave her a pointed look and she sighed.
"Fine. Damage things to the point that they become unmoving." Mara revised. She smiled at Spencer sweetly.
"Was that more sensitive?" She asked, batting her eyelashes.
"Not exactly what I had in mind, but close enough." He answered with a shrug.
"Good. Lets get cracking then." Mara said happily, pulling an old looking boom-box from behind her back.
"Isn't that Paul's?" Hayley asked apprehensively. She didn't think Paul would appreciate it if they broke his beloved stereo.
"Nope. It's mine." Mara said as she walked out of the cave.
Spencer and Hayley exchanged doubtful looks and ran out after her.

"Ok, genohuman fighting 101. You're fast, indestructible, and all around badass. Keep up you're defense, play a good offence, and don't get shot in the head… or electrocuted. Any questions?" Mara said while pacing the beach just below Hudson's Bluff.
"Is it just me, or does she sound like a soccer coach that put a little too much crack in her cereal?" Spencer whispered to Hayley while Mara had her back turned.
It took all of Hayley's self-control to not fall down laughing.
"HEY!" Mara yelled, running at Spencer at a inhumane speed.
"NO DISTRACTING THE STUDENT!" She shrieked.
Spencer backed away with his hands above his head.
"MA'ME YES MA'ME!" He shouted with a wry salute. He then plopped down in the sand and looked at the two expectantly.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Kill each other!"
The two girls rolled their eyes. Mara walked over to the boom box, and pressed play. A very familiar song began to play.
Whoa oh oh oh.
Whoa oh oh oh.
A penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insight,
Or a fortune for your disaster. And I'm just a painter and I'm drawing a blank.
Before Hayley could say that she knew the song, A fist slammed into her face and she heard her nose break with a loud crack. Hayley fell backward into the sand and looked up at Mara dumbfounded.
"Oh you are so going to get it." She said as she stood up. After putting her nose back in place, lunged and the blonde in front of her.
I could learn to pity fools as I'm the worst of all.
And I can't stop feeling sorry for myself.
Whoa.
We only want to sing you to sleep,
In your bedroom speakers, whoa.
We need umbrellas on the inside.
Get us right.
They say quitters never win,
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship.
There's a world outside of my front door,
That gets off on being down.
It was a whirlwind of flaling arms and kicking legs. Hayley Punched Mara square in the jaw, and she retaliated by gripping the red-head's arm and twisting it behind her, dislocating it in the process. Finally, after about another half hour of this, Mara tackeled Hayley to the ground and held her fingers up to her head in the shape of a gun.
"Dead. Try again."
Popping her newly broken leg back into place, Hayley stood up slowly, and carfully braced a small bit of weight on it. When she was satisfied she could walk, she took a couple of careful steps over to the side to grab some water. She took a swig, tossing a bottle to Mara. She happened to look down at Spencer, who was looking between the girls with his mouth hanging open. Mara noticed too, and jogged over to him.
"Something on you're mind?" She asked, tossing her water bottle on the sand and resting her hands on her hips.
Spencer closed his mouth and answered.
"That was by far, the hottest thing I have ever seen. Please do it again."
Both girls rolled there eyes and walked back over to the makeshift arena thay had crated in the sand. Mara played with the buttons on the stereo, and chose another song. As soon as it started playing, Hayley had thrown a punch to the back of her head that sent her staggering. She turned back towards her, her eyes now glowing a bright emerald green.
"Oh, it's on." She said and lept into the air, levitating about 30 feet from the ground. Hayley followed and they began sparring again.
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
I found the cure to growing older.
By now, the sun had set and the boys were awake. They walked outside, confused as to where the others could have gone, to see Hayley and Mara in the air, each trying to get the other to fall down to the earth, and Spencer lounging in the sand below, looking very entertained. The four walked over to him and looked at him confused.
"Uh… Should we be concerned?" Paul asked, looking up at the two figures now 50 feet above him.
"Nope. Not yet anyway. It was worse before whan they were breaking each others bones. Wicked awesome though. Better than cable."
Paul shrugged and sat down in the sand, the other three boys following.
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
I found a cure to growing older
I found a cure to growing older
Finally, Hayley landed a punch to Mara's forehead. Her eyes stopped glowing and she plummeted all 50 feet to the ground, hitting the sand with a sickening thud. Hayley returned to normal as well and fell to the ground more gracefully after her, landing on all fours. She went over to Mara and nudged her gently.
"You alive?" She asked with a bit of concern.
Mara's eyes opened slowly, and she struggled to focus.
"I think so." She said, putting a shaky hand on her forehead. Hayley nodded.
"In that case…" She sank sown to her knees and made a gun with her fingers, putting it against the side of Mara's head.
"Dead."
The girl laughed and got up off the ground, brushing the sand from her clothes.
"That was good, really good. You're getting the hang of it again."
Hayley took a dramatic bow, and the boys laughed. Both girls turned to look over at them.
"When did you guys get out here?" Hayley asked walking over, Mara behind her.
"When you were up in the air." David answered, pulling her down into his lap.
Spencer gave her a weird look, and she just shrugged, leaning her head against David's shoulder.
"You should try sparing with on of them. There're vampires, so if you can beat one of them, you should be good." Mara said nonchalantly as she finished off her water.
Hayley looked at her like she was crazy.
"I think you hit you're head a little too hard. Have you SEEN these guys?" she said gesturing to the four boys around her. Spencer pouted.
"Thanks Hays."
Mara just shrugged.
"I'm just saying." She said, lying back in the sand.
"You do it then." Hayley said crossing her arms.
"Fine I will." She got up off the sand and faced the boys, hands on her hips.
"Any volunteers?" she said brightly, looking at the four boys.
Marko shrugged and stood up.
"I'll do it."
"Mara looked him over and gave a nod of approval.
"Sweet. Lets go."
She hit play on the stereo again, and another song started playing. Marko vamped out, Mara's eyes turned and the both began to circle each other cautiously.
I'm in the business of misery
Let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass
That's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time
Before we all run out
When I thought he was mine
She caught him by the mouth
Marko lunged at her, and Mara dropped down to the ground, kicking his legs with one of her own causing him to stumble forward. She leapt over him easily and attempted to push him to the ground, but he was quicker and sidestepped her causing her to go sprawling to the ground. Meanwhile, the others watched them, amused and began placing bets.
"My money's on Marko." Hayley said, relaxing against David's chest.
"Ditto." Dwayne mumbled.
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
"I dunno. I think Mara's got a pretty good chance. I mean, she did almost rip you're arm off before Hays."
"Yeah, plus she looks kinda vicious." Paul said, looking over at Mara, who was had just punched Marko in the gut, causing him to fall over.
Second chances they don't ever matter
People never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more
I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness
We're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey but I'm passing up
Now look this way
Well there's a million other girls
Who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible
To get to who
They want and what they like
It's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
"What about you, David?" Spencer asked, looking over at the blonde vampire curiously.
David surveyed the two with a calculating look.
"I think it's a draw. If someone wins, it will be because of luck."
I watched his wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good
Sure enough, Mara, while trying to dodge a punch thrown at her, tripped over a rock hidden in the sand and fell backwards. Marko wasted no time pinning her arms down. He grinned at her.
"I win."
Mara nodded.
"You win. Now can you please stop crushing my lungs? I need oxygen."
Marko rolled off her, and offered a hand to help her up. She took it, and dusted herself off.
"I guess I was wrong. Not as easy as it sounds."
"Yeah, and you wanted me to try it." Hayley said, laughing
"It was just a suggestion, besides, if that rock hadn't been there, we still would have been going at it."
"Yeah, true."
They all just sat in silence for a few minutes, before Spencer stood up.
"Well that was fun. Hey Mara, wanna go harass those comic book dorks?"
"Hell yes!"
She looked at the other boys.
"Can we go to the boardwalk?"
"Pleeeeeeease?" Hayley added, looking up at David.
He laughed and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Yeah, lets go."
The seven walked over to the bikes and climbed on, taking off in the direction of the boardwalk.

The steady beeping of the GPS tracker was all that could be heard in the deserted alleyway. She was here somewhere. She had to be. The reading was getting closer, and all of a sudden it was on top of her. The roar of motorcycles drowned out the woman's gasp. Looking up sharply, she saw nothing. Just the sand blowing in the wind from the disturbance the motorbikes had made. The bikes. It clicked. Hayley must have been on one of the bikes. The woman walked briskly to her car. She started it up and began to pursue the motorcycles. She caught the reflection of her hazel eyes in the mirror, the same as her daughters. Diana Hallaway drove on determinedly. She would get her daughter back. Whatever it took.
"Hold on Hayley."
