I do not own "The Lost Boys". I only own Nyx and Isadora.

Marko and Paul arrived at the cliff just in time to see the new guy, Michael, punch David in the jaw. Marko rolled his eyes, Paul laughed at the guy. They knew David could tear this guy apart so they stood back to see what happened next. David just laughed and asked Michael, "How far are you willing to go Michael?"
Paul grabbed Nyx's hand and led her down the cliffside past a rusty fence with several warning signs to a cave. Nyx looked over her shoulder checking on Izzy. She had to stifle a giggle when she saw her sister being carried by Dwayne.
"Did she lose her footing or is this an excuse?" Nyx asked Dwayne, once she entered the cave.
Dwayne carefully put Izzy down, "Both. She almost tripped climbing down." Izzy was again hiding as much of her face as she can with her sleeve covered hand. Couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Nyx saw it, "Cheeky devil." Izzy just smiled bigger and walked further into the cave.
David gave a short speech about their place, then sat in a wheelchair. Izzy was immediately drawn to the artwork on the walls, the massive Jim Morrison portrait and the fountain with the damaged chandelier. Nyx noticed all these things too, but she also noticed how homey and lived in the cave felt. This was their home.
Nyx spoke up after a few moments, "Nice place." She watched as Paul turned on music from his 'rock box', Marko was feeding pigeons, Dwayne sat at the end of the couch reading, and David was sitting in a wheelchair.
David watched as Isadora, Izzy he had to remind himself, walked around brushing her fingertips along the wall, like she was getting a feel of the atmosphere. Being in close proximity to her and her sister, he could feel like there was something about the two of them. David knew he wasn't the only one. He glanced over to Dwayne. A book in one hand, his other arm outstretched on the back of the couch, kept glancing at Izzy and has not turned the page in the past few minutes.
Michael faced David after glancing at Star, "Star and I were going to get some food." Trying to think of an excuse to leave. Michael was feeling very unwelcome by everybody except Star and the girl with almost white hair. She seems just as interesting as Star.
David growls through their link, "If he doesn't get his eyes off Izzy, I'm going to rip his throat out. He can have Star for all I care, but Izzy belongs to us." The boys gave a slight nod, acknowledging that they heard him. "Good idea… Marko, we're hungry."
Marko nods his head and goes to get food. He decided to fly instead of riding his bike so it will be quicker. Deciding on Chinese, he got a couple containers of fried rice, steamed white rice, chow mein noodles, beef broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls and fortune cookies (why not?).
Back in the cave, Paul had rolled a joint and handed it to David. David lit it and passed to Michael, "How about an appetizer?"
Michael accepts the joint and takes a small hit before handing it back to David. Nyx was offered next but she refused, but Izzy accepted it. She took a long pull then handed it to Paul since David went and sat back down. She didn't see the look on Dwayne and David's face. She will surely fit in.
Everyone was pretty relaxed at this point. Paul was balancing on the edge of the fountain. Dwayne riding a skateboard, gracefully. David was in his wheelchair balancing on the back wheels. Star and Laddie were in her corner, her on the bed and Laddie was coloring. Michael was sitting against the wall, he kept staring back and forth between Star and Izzy, while having a conversation about the boys living in the cave without their parents. Nyx and Izzy were having a conversation about how they felt.
"Dude is about to get his ass whooped if he keeps staring at you. I thought he was with the trollop." Nyx is getting more and more agitated but her face is a perfect picture of calm.
Izzy sighs, "I thought so too. What do you think we should do?"
"I think we should wait a little longer before we tell them anything. I don't trust Star or Michael." Nyx made a good point. They decided to not tell the boys about what they are. At least not around those two.
"Chow time!" Everyone was brought back to the moment when Marko entered the cave with Chinese takeout. He handed Nyx a container of noodles, Izzy got some fried rice, and Michael was handed steamed white rice.
"Guest first." David said with a devious smirk as the containers were being past out.
"They're planning something. Should we pay along?" Nyx asked her sister. Opening her container and taking a bite with those cheap wooden chopsticks.
Izzy gave a small, devious smile behind her hand, "Probably to prank Michael more than us, but I'll play along." Izzy was using a plastic spoon for her rice, she wasn't really hungry but they needed to keep up appearances for now.
"So, how are those maggots, Michael?" David asked before taking a bite of his noodles.
Michael looks up from his rice, spoon half way out of his mouth, "What?"
"Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste?" David is trying not to laugh.
Michael looks inside the container and sees thousands of squirming maggots. He spits the mouthful he has out and drops the takeout box. Spilling nothing but white rice on the ground.
The boys all laugh, while Star tells them to leave him alone. David catches Nyx watching the scene in front of her. She could feel a presence trying to enter her mind. Key word there, trying. Turning back to Michael, David offers his noodles. However, all Michael saw was worms.
"They're worms." Michael gave the takeout box back to David.
"Worms?" David takes some his chopsticks and scoops up some noodles, "They're just noodles Michael."
"That's enough!" Star tries to get them to stop picking on Michael.
Paul huffed at Star, "Calm down girl."
Things have calmed down a bit when Nyx catches Michael staring at Izzy again. She grips one of her chopsticks and throws it at Michael with such force it embedded itself into the stone wall next to his head. Everyone stopped what they were doing, looking back and forth between Michael and Nyx. Michael gulped in fear, Nyx is furious.
"Is there a problem?" David asked them both.
Nyx takes a deep breath to get her anger under control before leaning forward and speaking in a calm, cold tone of voice, "Keep your eyes off my sister before I cut them out with a spoon. You have your two-bit hussy. Stay away from my sister." Nyx gave her noodles to Dwayne as she passed him on her way to Izzy's side. "You ready?"
The guys had expressions of either amusement(The Lost Boys), amazement(Laddie), or fear(Michael and Star). Michael sat frozen for a moment before turning his head to look how close the wooden chopstick came to being embedded in his head and not the wall.
Izzy nods her head. She hands her rice to Marko.
"Do you have to go? The night is young." Marko sounded so dejected.
"Unfortunately. We don't feel very comfortable around a couple of people here. Maybe we can hang out soon when you're in better company." Nyx cast a glance at Star and Michael. She has a feeling those two are going to be a problem.
Dwayne gets up, "I'm going to take them home. You coming?" He looked to Marko, who then looked to David.
"See if you can find out more about them. Paul and I will deal with Michael." David nods his head.
Marko and Dwayne help the girls out of the cave. The girls could have easily traveled back on their own, but they were trying to hide what they are until the right time. So, they climbed onto the bikes behind the vampires, Nyx behind Marko and Izzy clung to Dwayne.
They made it back to their home pretty quickly. Driving up to the garage, the gate closing behind them. The girls got off the bikes, and headed for the door. Marko and Dwayne follow close behind.
Entering the kitchen, Nyx got into the fridge and pulled out a glass dish filled with her "special" brownies. These brownies have been made with marijuana, a very potent strain. It is why she passed on smoking earlier, she didn't want to get too high. Nyx cut a generous portion of the brownies, grab some seran wrap and wrapped it tight so it wouldn't come easily undone.
Setting the brownies aside she turned to Marko, "I'll be right back. Just need to grab something."
Marko nodded, looking back and forth between Dwayne and the brownies. "Dude, I was waiting for her to kill that kid. Would have been entertaining."
They can tell Paul was agitated, normally he was happy-go-lucky but Michael was getting on his nerves. "This kid has been asking questions about the girls. While sitting next to Star. Fucking asshole!"
Nyx came back with a piece of black fabric and rubber bands. Upon closer inspection, the guys noticed it was a t-shirt that had been cut. The sleeves had been cut off, the sides had been cut open so it was more like a beach boy tank top. Laying it down on the marble counter, Nyx put the brownies in the middle, folded it around the brownies and used the rubber bands to wrap it close.
Dwayne and Marko curiously watched as Nyx finished up. She handed it to Marko, "That's for Paul. The brownies are hashies. I'm surprised you guys didn't cut into them earlier."
Marko shared what Nyx said with Paul. "Weed Brownies! Fuck Yeah! I'm in love." Paul whispered the last sentence half jokingly.
"Will we see you tomorrow night?" Marko asked after accepting the small package. They were all listening with baited breath.
Nyx shakes her head, "Not tomorrow night. Izzy and I are going to San Fran. We are attending an art exhibit auction. There's a piece there we have been trying to get our hands on for years." The boys thought they were talking about a piece of art. The girls were thinking about the attendees and guests. All high profile criminals such as mobsters and their wives, crooked politicians and such. One particular politician has been trying to pass a bill that legalizes forceful entry into a premise without probable cause or a warrant. This bill will make it easier for corrupt cops to raid a home no matter if the residents committed a crime or not.
Nyx and Izzy don't feed as often as the Lost Boys but when they do, the body count is staggering. Which is why they are crashing the auction. There is supposed to be a total of fifty people in attendance. The art on auction is just a bonus. Even if they don't have the winning bid for any art they try to obtain, they will leave with it once they are done feeding.
Marko and Dwayne bid the girls goodnight and left. They wanted to catch up with David and Paul at the train tracks. The new kid is being turned into a half-vampire and they were going to tease him the rest of the night. As well as playing their favorite game, hanging from the train tracks bridge while a train passes. If they weren't on orders from Max to turn Michael and possibly his younger brother Sam, they would have just killed the punk. Michael kept Star by his side while also thinking about Izzy before leaving for the train tracks. Pissed David off to no end. Eventually Michael passed out and they took him home.
Returning to the cave Paul asked for the package. Marko handed it over, and chuckled a little as Paul popped the rubber bands off, unwrapping the t-shirt and the plastic wrap. Paul wasted no time and took a huge bite out of the generously sized square. Marko tried to reach for a piece only to have his hand smacked.
"No. Mine." Paul finished the entire brownie in no time. Then he looked closer at the t-shirt. After reading what it said, Paul bursted out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" David grabbed the t-shirt from Paul. "Oh this describes you perfectly."
David held up the t-shirt for Marko and Dwayne to read. They both fell over laughing.
"In My Defense, I Was Left Unsupervised."
"Yep. To the T!" Paul finally got control of himself and grabbed the t-shirt back more forcefully then he should have. The motion sent a pleasing aroma into the air around him. The scent was intoxicating. Paul actually put the t-shirt to his face and breathed in deeply. "Nyx's scent is all over this. Hmmm… Yummy." Her scent is very natural, woodsy, with a hint of vanilla.
David lit his last cigarette for the night, "We should check out their place while they're gone." He wanted to know as much about them as possible. If Izzy really is his and Dwayne's mate, he would like to know more about her. They also want to know why Izzy didn't talk.
Max invaded their thoughts, "How did Michael do?"
All of the boys growled. David threw his cigarette to the ground and stomped on it, "He is a punk that doesn't deserve to be turned. He comes near Izzy, I'll kill him. Kept staring at her more than Star all night."
"If Michael gets too out of hand then you can dispose of him after I turn his mother." Max gave the vague order. Not saying they can kill Michael outright, only if he screws up.
The boys were not happy with this order, wanting nothing more than to get Michael out of the picture. "Alright boys, you heard the man. Come on, the sun's almost up." David heads towards the old elevator shaft with his brothers to get some sleep. Tomorrow night they check out the girl's place.
