Thoughts and Doubts
1987
David's P.O.V.
Watching the girls leave, I decided now was a good time to go down and figure out what to do about this mess. All of us decided to just dump the man's body off a cliff somewhere. Leaving the girl in the alley, Marko grabbed the dead man and lifted him over his shoulders.
Grinning at the man's dead weight, he took his hand and waved at us with it, morbidly, before flying off, agreeing to meet us at the cave later. Smirking while the other two howled in laughter, I decided to leave the scene and go back so we could get there before Charlotte and Star did.
Knowing that Star was now a full vampire, I could tell her everything, which meant telling her about Max, what his plans are, and what we can do as full vampires.
"Let's go to the cave. I have to speak to Star." Paul and Dwayne nodded, and we quickly flew to the cave as fast as we could. Knowing they wouldn't be back for a while, I waited in my wheelchair, patiently.
Marko quickly came back, leaving him to join us in the waiting. The others tried to do things to take up time, like Dwayne reading his book, Marko playing with his pigeons and Laddie, or Paul getting high, but eventually they joined me, waiting in silence, which was uncommon, especially for Paul.
After half an hour, I began to get impatient. They couldn't be taking that long to clean up, could they? Paul, Marko, and Dwayne were feeling the same way, impatient and restless. Just as they were about to go look for the girls, the two of them came walking in, quiet, as though someone had died, and someone had, both Star and that man.
"Star, I need to talk to you, privately." She agreed obediently. Somewhat shocked, she followed me to the back room of the hotel.
Charlotte's P.O.V.
As soon as we made it back to the cave, which I had to admit, was a little later than I had hoped due to Star not knowing how to control her new ability to fly, David requested her to come talk to him alone. Admittedly, I started to worry. What if, now that Star was a full vampire, he would want her instead of me? What if he wanted her more, and the only reason he even paid me attention was because she wasn't willing to change? What if none of them wanted me? Where would I go? What would I do then? I shouldn't have fallen for them! Gosh darn it!
"Charlotte, Charlotte, your back!" I heard a small and childish voice yell, breaking me from my trance. Looking around, I noticed the little boy with shaggy brown hair running up to me. Laddie!
Grinning, I ran to meet Laddie, lifted him up, and hugged him tightly.
As I did so, his legs swung around, and I could see Marko, Paul, and Dwayne smiling lightly at this little reunion, but once they saw me looking, they stopped.
Letting the little halfling down gently, I let him take my hand and drag me towards his bed to catch up on whatever he did that night. Even if Star did replace me, it still felt like home.
Little did Charlotte know, the boys heard every little thing she thought.
A/N: So, I know this is a little short, but I'm uodating again tonight as well. Sorry for any grammatical errors, I'll try to go back and re-re-edit later.
