W.S.V

Chapter 3

The morning after Ven's diner-day, (which Silence had named it) Mary got up early to make a nice breakfast. They had pancakes and waffles galore. The triplets woke up around ten, tired and groggy. Wonder was the first downstairs, and was quickly awoken by the aroma of breakfast. She yelled for her sisters, who came running down after.

"Hey Venny, do you think we'll meet your friends again, today on the boardwalk?" Silence asked while they were eating.

"They are not my friends."

"Anyways, they are way too old." Wonder said who as the leader, always had the wisest point in mind.

"Yeah, really." Vengeance murmured. In fact, she was actually hoping that they would be there. She had grown quite fond of her beautiful strangers, and it felt good to hear Silence call them "hers". Mary had promised them that they could go shopping for some clothing today on the boardwalk, and true to her word around eleven she gave them each money and sent them off. She, however, was staying home to organize the triplets surprise sixteenth birthday party, which was only a week away. So the triplets, with Wonder in front, went to find some summer fashions. Because they each had different tastes in clothing, they tended to spread out while shopping. Vengeance was always laid back, but punk, and liked to shop at Punky&Spunky. Silence went to check out Flashback, her favorite store, and Wonder crossed to TeenQueenBoutique. Vengeance was checking out a particularly nice blouse when a strong hand rested on her shoulder. She turned around to see David.

"That shirt would look very nice on you Vengeance."

"Spare your breath."

"Don't worry, I'm not low."

"Keep talking…"

"You wanna come over? Hang out?"

"No."

"Why not Vengeance?"

"You already got me into enough trouble. Please leave."

And to Ven's surprise, he did exactly that. Just turned around and walked out the door. Vengeance was sad, yet relieved. She couldn't remember how she could hope for that creep to come back. Despite his looks and charm. Actually, just looks. She paid for her clothing and went to meet Silence in Flashback.

"I saw him."

"Venny? What are you talking about? By the way, do you like these pants?"

"Sisi, the lost boy, David!"

"Ohh! Where is he!"

"He left. But I think I'm going to go find him. Ok?"

"Ok….?"

"Ok. And tell Wonder that I went to look in another shop across the boardwalk. I'll meet you guys at Pics Pizza in an hour."

"Right. Bye!"

It didn't take too long for Vengeance to find him. It was as though he had walked slowly so that she could catch him. She walked up casually and tried her best to look mysterious and sexy. David watched her silently stride around him.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Ready."

He led her back to his Harley. She felt her insides churn thinking about what she was doing. Wondering if she should turn back. Then she was on, and then there was no turning back. They drove to the cave. But took a couple stops along the way, picking up the rest of the gang. By the time they got there, it was well over an hour.

"David, I've got to go." David gave the gang a look. They nodded and the Spanish one, Dwayne, took off on his bike.

"No." He said.

"What are you talking about? My mother will worry! So will my sisters!"

"Like Silence?" Paul (male slut) murmured. The boys laughed. Star came striding out from another room in the cave. She didn't look pleased to see me.

"Laddie is asleep." She told David.

"Ok. We'll be quiet." David said. She went back into the other room. Vengeance started off towards the cave entrance, hoping that, like last time, they wouldn't try and stop her. But she was wrong. David, Paul, and Marco stood in front of the doorway, blocking her escape. Just then, Dwayne came back. He was covered in what looked like...blood.

Vengeance screamed as loud as possible, completely forgetting about the young boy in the back. Completely forgetting about Star. All she was thinking was that she had to get out of there. And very fast. The second Ven found a gap in the boys, she sped, running as fast as she could and never looking back. She didn't even dare to stop at the payphone, and she didn't have any change. She just kept running. After about fifteen minutes of running, she stopped and looked back. They were nowhere to be seen. She breathed steady and hard. Then she turned back around to smack into Wonder.

"Oh my god, what happened Venny!"

"They aren't human, they are monsters!"

"What on earth are you talking about Ven?"

"I went to find those boys and they had blood and scary and…"

"Woah. Calm down, I have no idea what you are saying. Let's go home."

They met Silence who Ven a look of despair. But home was not any better. They came home to find that all the doors were knocked down, all the windows broken, and all curtains slashed. And mother. Mary Lids Paige was dead. Slashed and stabbed, lying on the kitchen floor. Vengeance remembered the blood. The look David gave the gang. And Dwayne. His smile when he returned. Silence was screaming. Wonder was pacing, wondering as she does. But Vengeance just stood there, fierce with rage. Against David. Against The Lost Boys. But mostly against Dwayne. Wonder told her sisters to go upstairs and pack a book bag of clothing each. They obeyed, and rushed upstairs, trying not to look at their mother's mangled body. Wonder went to the sink to get a glass of water. As she looked out the window above the counter, she started to realize what was actually happening. They had started orphans, and ended orphans. And Wonder knew exactly where they had to go.
