Chapter 3: Meeting Kaden

I climbed onto David's bike and held tightly around his waist as we road off into the night. We sped down the boardwalk and came to a complete stop in front of the video store. Everyone got off their bikes. They walked into the video store and I headed towards the live show. I made my way through the crowd of people. I stand up on bench and start dancing to the music. I could feel someone staring at me. I turned my head to the right and saw a boy about my age maybe a bit older looking at me. I turned my attention back to the band performing. I could still feel the boy looking at me. I looked at him again and this time he smiled. I jumped off the bench and pushed my way back through the crowd. I became aware of the boy chasing me. I stopped and turned around.

"Are you following me?" I asked looking him over.

"I uh.. Well I"

"Well did you wanna talk to me?" I interrupted.

"Yeah" Just then his mom came into view.

"Come on its time to go home."

"Nice talking to you." I said. Then I turned on my heel and walked into the crowd of people.

"Mom give me a sec." He rushed after me. But of course I was already on David's bike. They all looked over at the boy. I turned my head to see who they were looking at. I smiled and we sped off down the boardwalk. They dropped me off at the cave and they went out to hunt. I fell asleep in my bed, and didn't get up until the next night. I woke up before the others. I changed out of my old clothes and put on a black leather dress (You know like the one that the lady has on with Michael buys his leather jacket!) and black knee high boots. I found an old black leather jacket on the chair next to my bed. I put it on just as the others came down. I climbed behind David and when sped off towards the boardwalk for the second night in a row. I walked up behind Kaden.

"If you want your ear pierced ill do it for you." He turned around and I started to walk off.

"What's your name?" He asked walking fast to catch up.

"Kory." I said

"Kory's nice I like Kory. I'm Kaden."

"Kaden's nice I like Kaden." I said mockingly. "Are you new?"

"Yeah..." We walked in silence. "Hey you wanna go to the beach?"

"Sure." I said. He took my hand in his and led the way to his bike. But David and the others road up to us and stopped.

"Where ya goin Kory?" David asked.

"For a ride." I replied. Kaden pulled gently on my hand trying to pull me towards his bike.

"Kory?" I gave Kaden an apologetic looked and climbed on to the back of David's bike. "A Honda 250 huh?"

"Yeah that's right." Kaden replied

"Know where Hudson's Bluff is? Overlooking the point?"

"I can't beat your bike."

"You don't have to beat me. Just try to keep up." The motorcycles bounced down the steps and sped across the beach. People watched the motorcycles roar by and some jumped out of the way. Everyone but Kaden was enjoying the little ride. I threw my hands into the air and screamed with excitement. An area of gently rolling sand dunes came into view. A bonfire burned beside one of these dunes. One-by-one David and the others sail off the edge of the dune fly through the flames of the bonfire and land upright on the beach below. Kaden doesn't dare try this. He goes around. The others laugh at him. I was among them. We came to a stop in front of the cave. We all climbed calmly off our bikes, well everyone but Kaden. Everyone climbed up the wooden stairs that lead to the opening of the rocks. Everyone climbed down into the cave and Kaden couldn't believe his eyes. We all partied for a while. Everyone was fucked up and drunker than hell. Well, everyone but David. He motioned for Marko to come over. He whispered something into Marko's ear. He nodded and walked over and got the rhinestoned flask. David brought it up to his lips and drank out of it.

"Here Kaden be one of us." David said giving Kaden the bottle. Kaden hesitated, and then brought it up to his mouth.

"Kaden you don't have to. It's blood." I said backing up to my bed. He laughed and drank it slowly. Everyone watched him carefully. A drop let of blood dripped from the counter of his mouth. He drank the whole bottle. He went home just before sunrise.

AN: Okay people that's it for chapter 3. It's not as good as the first two, but I tired. I also used some of the scenes from the movie. I hope you don't mind. Well read and Review!!
