Chapter 2

The Lost Boys sat on their bikes watching as people walked by. It was so tense even the locals realized something was wrong. Some glanced as they passed by but quickly hurried away to not risk the boy's fury. Star was glancing between the boys and Maya. She could see something happened last night when she was left at the cave but none of the vampires had said anything to her. Maya was snuggled in Marko's arms as he drew patterns on her arms. The only one who seemed immune to the tense atmosphere was Laddie who was leaning against Dwayne on the motorcycle. Laddie was moving his toy soldiers around in front of him in an epic battle with Dwayne making comments about what was happening.

The scariest of all was David. David did not agree with turning someone against their will. You were either called for this life or you were not. There were incidents where accidents happened like with Laddie and Maya but it should always be a choice. David had been forced into the change by Max with no warning and the training Max gave was harsh.

As soon as Max gave David freedom, he started searching for brothers who were like him. David handpicked each member of his clan except for Laddie and Maya. Star had been the only mistake David had ever made when choosing someone for his clan. It's only thanks to Marko that Star drank Max's blood rather than David's. It was the only real fight that had happened between David and his third in command since turning Marko. David was relieved that he had listened to Marko but, if David had his way, Star would have lived with Max. Star had been a disappointment since the day she found out what she was.

Laddie was turned by Star who thought the boy was starving and brought him to the cave. She had removed the bottle to drink from it to help with the craving but neglected to put it away. She went to get Laddie some food and came back to find that he had drank from the bottle. It was only Dwayne promising to watch over the kid until he was older that spared him from death.

Maya's turning was an accident by humans who found the cave. She was lucky that David apparently found something in her that he felt was good enough to be part of the pack. It is also only because of him that she survived Max's wrath. Max had been determined to kill her. David was the one who changed his mind. He reasoned with Max on the fact that Maya had turned fully while Star still refused to feed. It would have been a waste to kill Maya when she had turned when Max refused to allow David to end Star. Two females could pull more humans in than just one.

'You ok girl?' Paul called out.

Maya jerked out of her thoughts and looked at Paul.

She glanced around and realized all the boys were staring at her. Maya nodded.

'Yeah. I am ok. I was just thinking about my turning and Max's issues with me."

David reached out and squeezed her hand.

'You are one of us. Do not forget that. We have your back just as you have ours.'

'David' Marko called out.

David glanced at him and then the direction he pointed. He saw the boy, Michael, walking toward the ear piecing shop. David nudged Star and pointed out Michael "Why don't you go say hello?"

Star glanced between David and Michael before getting off the motorcycle.

She reached out to take Laddie.

"Leave the boy." David said.

Star turned to look at David in shock.

David smirked "Take a day off Star. We will keep up with Laddie."

Star nodded and walked away with the Lost Boys watching them.

David turned to glance at Maya 'Go and take Laddie with you. Find the other brother and start to reel him in. We will pick you both up later.'

Maya nodded her head before standing up. "Come on Laddie. Let's go get some Fairy Floss!"

Laddie jumped off Dwayne's bike and ran up to Maddie. He grabbed her hand and started going on about what kind he wanted.

Marko and Paul waved at her laughing 'Have fun with Sam.'

Maya glared at them. This was not the time for jokes. Her undead life was on the line here.

'Paul Marko pay attention. Leave Maya to her job and you focus on ours'

They both instantly glanced at David. He had been in a bad mood all night, not that anyone could blame him. Contact with their maker always resulted in trouble.

The Lost Boys watched Star walk up to Michael offering to pierce his ears for him. They could not help but smirk at the attempt at Michael's flirting.

'I'm so going to make fun of him. Moonbeam really? How pathetic.' Marko Said.

David and the others started their bikes when Star and Michael got to his bike. The minute Michael climbed on The Lost Boys circled them.

"Where you going, Star?" David asked tilting his head to the side.

Star frowned. "For a ride. This is Michael." She turned to get on, but David called out to her.

"Star"

She frowned before climbing onto David's bike.

David turned and observed his soon to be new brother "you know where Hudson's Bay is? Near the light house?"

Michael frowned "I can't beat your bike."

David smirked "You don't have to beat me. You just have to keep up."

David reeved his bike and took off with the rest of the lost boys following him. The sped down the stairs onto the sand and started driving.

David glanced back and watched as Mike slowly drove his bike down the stairs. How Max expected this boy to fit in with his pack was ridiculous.

David turned around and revved his engine again as the five bikes went over sand hills, under the different boardwalks, and through the woods.

As they got out closer to the light house, the terrain changed to rocks and dust. Paul, Dwayne, and Marko pulled back behind Michael.

David pulled up beside him "Now let's see what you got Michael?"

David's motorcycle started to pull a head of Michael's. Michael revved the engine and pushed down the gas. He had to beat David.

Dwayne, Paul and Marko cheered urging the human on. They may have not wanted to do what Max said but at least they could have fun.

Soon David and Michael were side by side. The cliff was coming close. Michael suddenly jerked his bike sideways sliding on the dirt. He just barley stopped at the cliff.

David slowed his bike down with a smug look. 'Maybe Michael will fit in after all'

Michael jumped up and popped David right in the face before Marko and Paul could grab him.

David smirked and reached up to wipe the blood away. 'He is going to pay for that.'

The others grinned at each other. They would do what Max said but it didn't mean they couldn't have fun testing the human.

David took a step toward Michael. "How far are you willing to go Michael?"
