David sat in his wheelchair smoking a cigarette and staring into the fire. Dwayne was reading out loud on the couch. Maya sat beside Dwayne listening to him read with Laddie's head resting on her lap fast asleep. Maya ran her hands threw his hair.
Star and Michael were gone. David and Dwayne had tracked them to the edge of Santa Carla but they were too late to get the half vampires before the two had left their territory.
Max had not been happy with the two vampires. David was lucky his sire didn't kill him and the others for this mistake. The only reason they were still alive was because they were able to get the younger boy, Sam.
The fact Michael left him and the Frog brothers to fight against the four vampires made David angry. Michael and Star had pretty much left these three as bait to keep the Lost Boys busy while they escaped. It was pathetic.
It was no surprise that they had left Laddie. Laddie was loyal to The Lost Boys and would never have let Michael take him from the cave if he had been conscious at the time.
David took a deep breath and observed the sleeping child. Laddie was theirs until the day he died and no one would ever take him again.
Dwayne and David turned to look up at the entrance of the cave as they heard the sounds of their brothers approaching. Paul and Marko appeared a few moments later carrying several boxes. They dumped them on the ground before moving to the couches that sat around the area.
"Did you get it all?"
Marko nodded his head "Everything Sammy had in his room that couldn't be used against us. We'll need to get him new clothes. The clothes he wears are just pathetic."
Paul smirked and rolled his joint in his fingers. "True man. Sam's clothes are just random. I can't believe some of the junk he wears"
David couldn't help but smile. This would definitely be an interesting adventure. He lifted the cigarette and took a drag letting it out slowly.
Star and Michael was not their problem anymore. Their problem now was what to do with Sam.
Max still wanted Lucy as his but with Michael gone Sam would have to take Michael's place in the pack. If they could turn Sam to their side than his sire would be satisfied however if they failed Max would be furious.
David's eyes shifted toward the bodies of Edgar and Alan Frog.
'At least two of my problems are gone.'
David turned his gaze toward Maya "How are you feeling?"
Maya turned her eyes toward David. She lifted her shirt up showing the newly healed skin "Healed up after froggy blood"
David nodded his head. David stood as he felt the pull of the sun rising. He dumped his cigarette in the barrel fire. "Time to sleep boys and girl."
Dwayne frowned "What about Sam? The Frog Brothers?"
David glanced back at Dwayne "Sam will be fine in his cell till tonight. Maybe a day of isolation will do him some good. We'll get rid of the bodies' tomorrow night."
Dwayne frowned and crossed his arms over his chest. He rose and stared at the sleeping child. Laddie had been kidnapped once already. What was stopping it from happening again while the boys were asleep?
David walked over to his brother and placed a hand on his shoulder. "They won't get near laddie Dwayne. He'll be safe in the back room near where we rest."
Dwayne nodded his head and picked up the child wrapping the blanket around him. He tuned and follow David, Maya Marko and Paul into the darkness to sleep until the night returned.
Tonight had been a very LONG night for all of them. They could all use some sleep.
Slowly they all rose up the shaft to areas where no human would be able to reach them. They would definitely not make the same mistake again.
Slowly the sun rose over the waters of Santa Carla bringing forth the light and sending all predators of the night to rest…waiting for the darkness to reappear.
