Chapter 2: Finding a place to live

The sun was coming out when I reach the boardwalk. I looked down at my watch and saw that it was only ten pass five. None of the stores would open until eight. I walked down to the beach. I sat down and took off my shoes. I squished the sand in between my toes. I laid down and put my head on my back pack. I must have fallen asleep, because I was awoken by someone saying my name. I looked up and saw Alan.

"Hey Alan." I said sitting up. I ran my fingers threw my hair, and then shook it to get all the sand out.

"Why are you out here so early?" He asked. But who was he to get into my business. 'Who in the hell are you to get in my business' I thought.

"Oh I dunno. I guess I just needed a bit of fresh air." I looked down at my watch again and it was now fifteen till eight. 'Did I really sleep that long?' I asked myself. That's when I saw the other boy that worked in the comic book store. "Hi" I said standing up. I picked up my bag and headed towards the boardwalk. I heard the other kid say 'hi' but I wasn't really in the mind to chit-chat. I walked to the video store and waited outside for it to open. It opened about five minutes after I got there. I walked up to the counter and laid down 'fright night'. "I won't be needing this. I have no way to watch it now." I said more to myself than to the lady behind the counter. She looked at me as if I was crazy. I shrugged and left the store. I walked into the clothing store across the way. I picked up and white beaded spaghetti stripe and a long flared tan beaded and glitter skirt. I changed in the dressing room and paid from them at the counter. I also brought a lot of thin medal bracelets and a brown choker. Then I headed towards the comic book store. I sat down in one of the chairs that their parents were sitting in last night.

"Alan is there any hotels around here?" I asked hoping that there would be, but he shook his head 'no'. "Oh well thinks anyway." I look at the other kid. "What's your name?"

"Edger Frog."

"Oh so you two are brothers?" I asked getting up and walking over to the counter they were working behind. I climbed up and sat cross legged.

"Yes infertility.(umm I dunno if I spelled that right so live with it)" Alan said. I laughed and got down. "I'm hungry you guys want anything?"

"Yeah bring back hot dogs!" Edger said I laughed and said 'yeah' then left. I came back about fifteen minutes later with five hot dogs and 3 cokes. I gave Edger two hot dogs and Alan two. I ate mine quietly, while the boys ate theirs messily. I almost threw-up. I took my last sip of coke and said. "I'm going to find someone. I'll see you guys later." They said 'bye' and I left. It was already dark by the time I left the store. Business was slow all day. They only had one customer and that was 'Sam'. I walked around until I found David.

"Hey David." I said walking up to him.

"Star?" He asked questionably.

"No...Kory." I said wondering who in the hell star was. Maybe it was his ex girlfriend maybe a sister.

"Oh yeah you just look like someone else I know." He said. I heard one of his friends say 'Dude Paul she looks just like star!'

"Umm who are they?" I asked him pointing at his friends.

"Oh that's Paul...Dwayne...and Marko." He said pointing at each of them over his shoulder. I freaked me out that he knew where each of them was, but I guess he said before he turned around.

"So how about that ride?" I asked

"Sure get on." He said. I walked over to him. He held out his hand. I grabbed it and climbed on. He was the first to take off down the boardwalk. People ran out of the way. We road across the beach. They were screaming and bouncing around like crazy men! We came to a stop in front of a cave. I climbed off and stood in front of the entrance to the cave. Paul, Marko, and Dwayne walked past me and jumped down into the cave. David grabbed my hand and we went together.

"Wow" was all that would come out when I saw the inside of the cave. It was beautiful.

"This was the hottest resort in Santa Carla back about eighty years ago. Too bad they built it right on top of the San Adreas fault." David paused for a second. "In 1906, when the big one hit San Francisco, the ground opened up and this place took a header into the crack. And now it's ours!"

"You live here?" I asked looking around.

"Yeah" Paul replied. I turned and looked at him. He was smoking a joint.

"Your folks let you?"

"Is she talking about parents?" Paul asked Marko.

"What's a parent?" Marko asked Dwayne. Everyone laughed.

"Kory, we do what we want when we want." David said taking the joint away from Paul and bringing it over to me.

"I wish I could live some place like that." I said taking the joint away from David and taking a puff (ha-ha puff?)

"Oh but you can Kory. You can come live with us." He said. He turned around and pointed at the bed that had a white-tan-pink canopy. I smiled.

"Really?" I said taking another puff. (puff?)

"Yeah" He replied

"Thanks!" I said. I kissed him softly on the lips and then headed towards my new bed. I laid my back pack down on the ground next to my bed. I got under the blankets and fell into a deep sleep. I slept throw the whole next day. David woke me up just as the sun was setting. He was holding a rhinestoned flask.

"Do you wanna be one of us?" I looked at him as if he was crazy.

"What?" I asked sleepily.

"Do you wanna be one of us?"

"What are you?"

"We're vampires." I laughed, but then he vamped out and I stared in amazement. I took the flask out of his heads and lifted it to my lips. Tilting it back the cool yet warm liquid ran down my throat. David took the bottle away from my lips, but a drip let remained. David licked it off my lips and kissed me gently before putting the bottle away. Paul, Marko, and Dwayne were watching from the shadows. They were now cheering and applauding. I stood up and changed out of my tan skirt into my new white one. I tied a mixed colored scruff on the right shoulder stripe. I brushed my honey colored hair and waited for David to come back. "Now we hunt." He said and we all left the cave.
