Chapter 10
David, Michael, Star and the Lost Boys climbed down into the cave.
This was their home and they liked it the way it is. Stuff laying everywhere. Each area designed just how the boys or Maya liked it.
David smirked before turning to Michael "Not bad huh? This used to be a Resort about 85 years ago.
Too bad they built it on a fault. Earthquake came and this took a nose dive straight through the crack…and now it's ours"
David walked over and placed his hand around Michael's shoulder. He steered the mortal toward the fountain.
"Marko Food"
Marko jumped down from the fountain and left the building.
David smirked and lit a cigarette. He puffed it a few minutes before turning to hand it to Michael.
"I think you're going to like it here"
David smirked and sat down in the wheelchair.
David watched Michael sit down on the fountain as he looked around at all the posters The Lost Boys had used to decorate the house.
Paul clicked on the boom box and started playing some hard rock music. He started dancing around the room kicking stuff out of his way.
Star turned and walked up to where she and laddie slept during the day. David was up to something but she wasn't sure what.
Dwayne smirked at her before picking up his book from a stack of books by the couch. He was not interested in watching Star stare at Michael and David.
They did not have to wait long before Marko returned with food.
"Feeding Time" Marko called
He started tossing Chinese food boxes to each of the boys. David received two boxes of food. David turned and offered it to Michael.
David opened one of the boxes and smiled "Chinese. Good Choice. Guest's first." David leaned over and offered Michael a box of rice.
Michael glanced at it and frowned before shaking his head.
David fake frowned "What's wrong Michael? Don't like Chinese? How could a million Chinese people be wrong?"
The other boys started laughing. Michael glanced at the others before grabbing the box. He opened it up and shoved some into his mouth.
David waited a few minutes while Michael chewed what he had in his mouth before raising his eyes to look at him. "How are those maggots Michael?"
Michael stopped and looked at him funny.
David sat forward "Maggots Michael. You're eating maggots."
Michael rolled his eyes before looking at the box. His eyebrows shot up as he saw maggots crawling around in the box. He turned dropping the box and started spitting out the rice in his mouth.
Paul, Marko and Dwayne burst out laughing. David smirked as he stirred the noodles around in his
Chinese box.
"Stop" Star exclaimed.
Michael slowly leaned back as he looked at the spilled rice on the floor. He could have sworn they were maggots.
David frowned as he glanced at Star. She would pay for opening her mouth. He turned back to Michael and smiled a fake smile. "No hard feelings right Michael?"
Michael slowly shook his head.
David leaned forward "Why don't you try some noodles?"
Michael glanced at the box only to see it filled with wiggling worms. He closed his eyes and leaned away.
"It's worms"
David leaned back and gave Michael a confused look. "Worms?" he reached in and grabbed a handful with his chopsticks. He dropped the illusion as he brought the food out of the box and stuffed them in his mouth.
Michael stared with him in shock and confusion before getting up and grabbing the box. When he looked inside he saw…noodles.
The other lost boys laughed at Michael's confusion.
David motioned for Marko "Get the Wine"
Star's eyes widened when Marko walked off. She quickly walked over to Michael and tried to get his attention however Michael didn't even glance at her.
David took the bottle from Marko. He glanced at Michael with a fake puzzled smile before popping open the wine bottle and taking a drink. He could fill the blood of his sire flow through him.
This bottle was different from the one that Maya's human friends had stolen. David had learned his lesson from that experience. He emptied the bottle of the lost boys' blood and filled it with Max's. This was Max's idea and Max could deal with the new Halfling.
David held out the bottle offering it to Michael. "Drink this Michael. Be one of us."
Paul, David and Dwayne started chanting Michael's name.
Michael took the drink from David. Star grabbed his arm "You don't have to. It's Blood"
Michael rolled his eyes. "yeah right?"
Star backed away from him. David's tricks had worked. Michael wouldn't believe her. Now he was cursed just like her.
She turned and walked over to her bed and laid down. There was nothing she could do for him.
