Chapter 21: A Bedtime Story

As I wake up I decide to wear black skinny jeans, a black and white striped tank top, my black leather jacket, and my biker boots. I apply my eyeliner and fix my hair before sitting down on David's lap.

"Ready for tonight Rayne", David whispers in my ear. Then he nips my ear causing me to moan.

I pull myself together. "I'm always ready Davey."

"Rayne I need your help", Lilly yells from the back of the cave.

"Coming Lilly", I shout back as I remove David's hands from my waist and stand up. "Got to go", I kiss David on the lips and run to Lilly's aid. When I enter the cave I see clothes thrown all over the place. "What's the matter Lilly?"

"I can't find my biker boots."

"Didn't you ask Willow or Sky for help?"

"She wanted you to help her", Willow says as she puts on her black beanie.

"She always wants your help. Your like her mother", Sky adds while putting on her boots.

"Alright I'll help", I smile at Lilly. She smiles back and we are on our mission. It takes us five minutes to find the boots. They were under a huge pile of clothes in the corner of the cave.

"About time women", Paul yells as we enter the front part of the cave.

"Aw poor baby we're so sorry to keep you waiting", I tease. Everyone laughs especially Dwayne and Marko.

"She got you good", Marko shouts and gives Dwayne a high five who shouts in agreement.

"Let's go", David yells. But as I stare into his eyes and look at his face I can see the amusement. We walk out of the cave and in no time at all I feel David's arms around me. "Must you always turn me on", he whispers.

"It's my job", I kiss him hard on the lips and then run for his bike. When I get settled I turn my head and see him smirking.

"See what I mean", David whispers in my ear and then kisses me again. Then he sits on his bike and I wrap my arms around his waist. I kiss his neck and then we are off into the night ready to hunt.

We see a bonfire about halfway through our journey to the boardwalk. David decides on a surprise attack.

"Are you two going to argue over which one is going to be your meal", Willow asks while looking at Marko and Paul. They glare at her causing her and Sky to giggle quietly.

"There will be no arguing', David growls quietly.

"Yeah we should just jump out and surprise them and which ever one is near us first will be our prey", Dwayne says. We all stare at him shocked that was a long sentence for someone who hardly talks. "What I can talk sometimes."

"Sorry man you just surprised us", Marko whispers.

"Don't worry Dwayne that happens a lot to me too", Sky whispers and Dwayne nods.

"Less talking and more hunting", David growls and then leaps into the air.

We all follow him yelling and screaming. We all have a surfer pinned to the ground. The surfer I caught is struggling and I have to use all my strength to keep him still. I grab his head and bring his neck close to my mouth. Then I sink my fangs in and as the blood runs down my throat I sigh in satisfaction. The blood runs down slowly, I want to savor every drop, nothing can be wasted. Each drop of blood is helpful, it keeps us alive and gives us the energy we need to get through a night or if were lucky a couple of nights.

Once the bodies are drained we throw them into the fire. We watched the bodies' burn and when they are gone we decide to spend more time at the beach. Paul cranks up the volume of their stereo and we dance around the fire or sit down and enjoy the beats.

David and I finally get to dance with one another. As the beat gets more intense we get closer and closer together. Are bodies are so close nothing can get between us. I enjoy his body grinding up against mine. I would have never dreamed of meeting someone like David and doing all the kinds of stuff we do together.

"I love you David", I whisper. Even with the music loud I know he can hear me. He says he loves me back and brings me into a passionate and heated kiss. His tongue runs along my bottom lip and I let him enter. We kiss each other intensely throughout the song. After a few more songs we sit down on the beach while the others keep dancing.

I sit between his legs and he wraps his one arm around me. The other hand is holding a beer that he got from the surfer's cooler. We share the beer with each other and when it is finished we share a few more.

"Rest Rayne", David whispers in my ear as I start to drift off.

"What about the boardwalk", I ask as I fight to stay awake.

"Forget to boardwalk we've been here all night anyway."

With those words spoken I close my eyes and go to sleep. When my eyes finally open I find myself in my bed with David's arms wrapped around me. The girls are nowhere in sight and I wonder what David has planned this time.

David senses that I'm awake and pulls me closer to him. He kisses my neck and nips at my ear to let me know that he knows I'm awake.

"So David what's up", I say nonchalantly. I feel him chuckle and it sends sparks running up and down my body.

"How do you know something's up", I can tell there is a big smirk on his face.

"You always have something planned or surprised."

"Very true." He turns me towards him. "Smart and beautiful, that is a very deadly combination especially for a hot vampire girl." He kisses me hard on the lips and I lay my hands on his hard and muscular chest.

"So are you going to tell me?"

"Tell you what darling?" He smirks.

"Don't play dumb with me Davey."

"You win", he kisses me. "Let me tell you a bedtime story."

"David", I raise my eyebrows in wonder.

"I'm serious Rayne."

"Fine you may continue your "bedtime story","

"Thank you", he kisses me on the lips and then starts to talk again. "In 1959 I found a group of six boys. They were tough mean and had guts. They were the perfect people to become vampires. The best part was they got along great with the other boys."

"Who couldn't get along with them", David smiles at me and continues.

"I got to know them and found out their strengths and weakness. Then I told them what I was and what they were becoming."

"They drank your blood without knowing."

"It was the only way. Anyway they weren't scared and they wanted to train right away. The boys and I taught them everything we knew and everything was going great. Until Ash and his friends began to spy on all of us."

"Asshole", I mumble and David smirks.

"Ash told his gang and some other gangs about what I was doing. So they began to form a mop. Then after three months of training they wiped out my new members when the guys and I were out hunting. Those guys had only been vampires for six months. They were strong but nothing could prepare them for what Ash and his followers had in store."

"Why dose everyone hate Ash now?"

"Because he lied to them. He told them I was building up an army so I could wipe out vampire gangs that I didn't like. Max who is well respected by a lot of vampires told them it wasn't true which it wasn't true at all. I just saw that they had a gift in them and gave them a new start at life. Like I did you."

"Ash deserves to get more then hate", I whisper.

"I know", David kisses me passionately. "Get some sleep now. I love you Rayne." He kisses me again.

"Love you too David", I kiss him back and close my eyes. Then I rest my head on his chest and his arms wrap around me tightly.

I think about Ash and how much he hurt David. Then I let it pass my mind and think about what will happen tomorrow night. I don't know what will happen in the the time to come but I know one thing for sure Ash will never hurt David again.
