W.S.V

Chapter 2

Wonder, Silence, and Vengeance had been living with Mary Lids Paige for their whole life. She was their mother. They had no father, as Mary was a widow and had never really been able to re-marry. The triplets, although not planned, had grown up pretty true to their odd names. Vengeance was the outgoing one, who would do anything to get out of the house and have an adventure. She hates school, work, parents, and anything that requires her attention. Silence, is the quiet one, who is shy to the point of being, well, silent. And Wonder is the smart one, who is beautiful, yet cunning. And the "leader" of the girls. Each of them had a nickname, though only her sisters could call her that. Silence was Sisi, Vengeance was Ven, and Wonder was just Wonder. They lived in Santa Carla. To Vengeance, it was the most boring, nothing happening, place in the world. To Wonder, it was awesome, and to Silence, it was home. Their best friend was Cassie Froll. Cassie was funny, and silly. Sometimes a bit over emotional too. They all went to the same school. Though now, it was summer vacation. And what a sweet vacation it was. Staying up late, swimming and surfing, strolling the boardwalk. They were fifteen and life had never been better.

"God Wonder! How many freaking hours does it take to brush your hair!"

"Shush Vengeance; I'm not even going to get started about your long showers. No warm water is ever left after you."

"Oh that is such a lie! You are such a lying pig, you know that!"

"Why, thank you. I'm impressed that you have such amazingly hurtful comebacks."

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!"

"Ok Sisi."

"Yes Sisi."

Wonder ran downstairs, sliding on the banister with comb in her hand. Silence followed.

"Ok, are we ready to go?" Ven yelled.

"Ready!" Silence and Wonder screamed in unison.

"Good." Ven said cheekily.

They rushed out the door after a quick hug and kiss from their mother, and started their way towards the boardwalk. They walked into a diner.

"Wow, this place actually smells worse then your room Vengeance!" Wonder said slyly.

"Oh give it up Wo." Silence murmured. Sisi found a table and set their jackets on it. Wonder went to the counter to order.

"Hey babe, you gotta ride?" A tall, eighteen year old boy said quietly into Ven's ear.

"Wha..? I mean, no, yes! Umm…sorry I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." The boy laughed. Vengeance couldn't believe that she had used the comment that a ten year old uses while getting hit on.

"I'm sorry. I'm here with my twins." She said.

"Twins? With an S?"

"Yeah, I'm a triplet. My name is Vengeance, but you can call me Ven if you want."

"Sure…whatabout your twins?" He said seductively.

"You don't need to worry about them…I don't have a ride…" Ven had no idea what she was saying, and just before she realized, she was out of the diner and on the back of a Harley Davidson.

"Ven! Vengeance! Hey Wonder, have you seen Vengeance!"

"No Sisi, what's up?"

"Venny is gone!"

They rushed out of the diner just in time to see Ven taken down the boardwalk on a bike with an eighteen year old punk. They yelled and screamed but she never even turned her head.

"Wow, so you are like, a leader of a gang? That's cool…"

"Yeah. Hey, mind not talkin' to me while I'm drivin'? I'd rather not kill you. Or the bike, by going off a cliff."

"Yeah….sure." Ven thought she heard her sisters yelling but she had her body pressed up close with this handsome boy and would rather not move. As they drove on the voices got softer and eventually died out. They approached a cave, right next to a roaring ocean. Ven would have remembered her fear of the sea if she had not been in this trance-like thing. She followed the boy, who had introduced himself as David, into the cave. Inside there were about three other guys, one young boy, and a teenage girl. She found a seat next to a sweet-faced blonde.

"Ok Vengeance, these are my people." David said. The guys chuckled.

"Marco." The boy she was sitting next to stood up.

"Dwayne." A taller, black haired Spanish looking boy stood.

"Paul." A rock star, male slut guy stood and waved at Ven.

"Laddie." The small boy stayed seated but smiled.

"And Star." The girl looked, not at Vengeance, but at David. She didn't look pleased.

Laddie stood and went to sit with her, and she heard Laddie call Star Sis. The name Sis, made Ven think of her sisters, which made her snap back to reality. Especially of Silence, who after getting lost at Disneyland one year has always had the fear of being separated.

"Silence!" Ven yelled. Everyone got quiet.

"Why do we have to be quiet Star?" Laddie asked.

"Oops." Ven thought. "No, that's my twin's name. Silence is probably worried about me. I have to go." She started towards the door, and David moved to stop her, then thought better of it and let Vengeance pass. She started to sprint towards the diner. Vengeance was a fabulous runner, but not when she was worried. And the time it takes to run, as apposed to the time it takes to ride, in a trance, on the back of a speeding Harley Davidson. So she found her way to a payphone and dug out some change from her pocket. The phone at her house rang for a minute before her mother answered it.

"Hello? Paige residence."

"Hey, mom? It's Vengeance."

"Venny! What happened! Your sisters are here we were about to call the police! They said you had been kidnapped."

"Can you come pick me up?"

"Yes, where?"

"I'm at that old, rundown orphanage on the boardwalk. I'm using a payphone."

"I'll be there as soon as possible honey, so don't you worry."

Ven hung up and sat down on a bench. Her mother got there in about ten minutes. Vengeance was glad she didn't try to walk. They went home and Ven climbed into bed. It took about three seconds, then her sisters were in her room waiting for every detail. So for the rest of the night, Vengeance told her stories. Of the boys who she had met. The Lost Boys.
