Chapter 5

"Mr. Hotness and Sister Dearest"

David left the cave as soon as he knew he was out of the triplet's sight. He was not in the mode to be framed for stalking. Back at the cave, Dwayne was nursing some pretty bad scratches, and Paul had a bad bruise on his side. But that was not who he was worried about. He was worried about Star. The one thing he wished most of all is if there had been time to tell Silence Star's problem, her tragedy. But there would be time for that later. For now he had to get to Max.

The bell "dinged" as David walked into Max's Video Store. Max was ready and waiting.

"Oh David! How are they? How do they look? Please tell me how they sound again." Max whimpered, for the first time in his life.

"Max, I've told you every day since I saw them. They are pretty, full of life…" David droned on boringly. Max sighed. David had told Max only three days ago that he had seen his long lost daughters. "Listen to me Max. We have a problem."

"What? What? Where are they!"

"Star took Silence."

"Oh shit David! Why in heaven or on earth did you let that hippie wannabe join you! I warned you so many times about women dear boy! Well, I must go find her!"

"Ok, but careful not to run into Wonder and Vengeance, they are nasty fighters."

Max ran quickly out of the store and down the street, waiting until nobody was watching to take to the air.

Wonder and Vengeance sprinted back to the diner they visited. They thought it would be an ok place to stay, eat, and figure how to get Sisi back. They weren't too worried, Star seemed alright. But best to be cautious. And they had decided that they would stick together the whole time, as to avoid certain teens they would rather not be abducted by. Vengeance took her seat. For some reason she couldn't stop worrying that something was wrong about the way Star took Sisi back at the cave. And this was unusual because usually it was Wonder who did the worrying and Vengeance was usually thinking about boys, or school, or something like that. Wonder, however, was thinking about David. Wondering whether to place him under Bad Guys or Good Guys, sort of like how she thought when reading The Outsiders. Both of their thoughts were broken, though, when they heard the ding of another person entering the diner. It was a thoroughly handsome teen, about their age. With long brown hair and a rebel look on his face. Vengeance was immediately attracted. Not as much so when she saw the shorter, brown haired, doe eyed, girl standing next to him, clutching his arm. Vengeance let out a sigh of despair. The boy heard her and looked over, a serious expression on his perfect face. When he figured out what was going on, he whispered to the girl he was with and she went to sit down. Meanwhile, Mr. Hotness came over to sit across from Vengeance.

"Sorry if you got the wrong idea about my sister." He whispered.

"Oh!" she giggled, "Yes I did. I'm Vengeance."

"Jefferson, but everyone calls me Jet." He had this quiet, sexy voice that was intimidating, yet captivating. Vengeance was compelled.

"Cool name." she said cheekily.

"Yeah…Hey, you mind if we sit with you?" he said in his quiet tone.

"Oh no not at all, WONDER! GET OVER HERE, WE HAVE COMPANY!" Vengeance yelled as his sister came to join. She was overwhelmingly pretty, and reminded Vengeance of a small doe in winter. And she had no idea why.

"Hello." She too had a soft voice.

"Hi." Ven replied.

"So do you ladies live here?" Jet asked.

"Not anymore…" Wonder murmured. "Looooooong story, um what was your name?"

"Jet."

"Right."

"Well, me and my sister better get moving, I've got work to do and she has a date." He looked disapprovingly at his sister. Vengeance giggled quietly. Sister dearest left the table. Mr. Hotness said goodbye and followed his sister. Vengeance and Wonder shared a look that meant, "Wow! Good looking family!". Just then a tall man with horrible fashion in his middle thirties walked into the diner. When he saw the twins he gasped and ran over to them. He then stood next to the chair for a second, then sat down.

"Oh wow. You are beautiful Vengeance. And you too Wonder!" the man said.

"What the..? How did you know us?" Wonder asked breathlessly.

"I'm Max. I'm your father." He said. Vengeance got up and pushed Wonder out of the way and ran out the door. Wonder called for her, but she wouldn't listen.

"Good job freak!" Wonder said, trying not to cry. She ran out of the diner. Max sat there silently. He had no idea what had just happened. Vengeance didn't know where she was headed, she just knew that she had to run. Wonder, though, knew exactly where she was headed. She was headed towards the cave. When she got there, Paul was sitting on a ledge outside.

"I….need…to…see….David…" she gasped, out of air. Paul got up and yelled for David who came down immediately.

"What?" David asked, astounded to see Wonder there. Wonder ran over to David and flung her arms around him and started bawling like a baby. David was shocked, but put his arms around her slim figure. Paul just stood there, trying his very best to stay out of their business.

"I'm…sorry…" Wonder said between sobs.

"Nah, it's ok. What's wrong Wonder?" David asked.

"Max…" she sobbed. David looked up. He gave Paul a look then gave Wonder to him, and took off down the road. Paul wrapped his arms around her. She sobbed quietly into his warm shoulder. Paul swiftly put his hand on her chin and turned it facing him, then kissed her. They kissed for what seemed like forever, before a sound behind them startled them both. David ran out a grabbed Paul by the collar. He shook him.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, THIS IS MAX'S DAUGHTER ASSHOLE!" David screamed at him. He let go and Paul fell to the floor. Then, from behind the shadows, came Max. He pulled a blade. Wonder screamed. She was as confused as to what was happening. Max started whispering.

"Wonder….Wonder…..Wonder….my daughter…" Wonder got scared and went to David, who put her behind him shielding her from her father. "Wonder my daughter….you are NOT MY DAUGHTER! I HAVE SEARCHED TOO LONG FOR MY DAUGHTER! MY DAUGHTERS, MY TRIPLETS ARE SWEET AND CAREFREE! YOU…..ARE….NOT….MY….DAUGHTER!" and Max swung wildly with the blade, cutting David across the shoulder and Wonder on the leg. Wonder screamed, and a figure came out from the shadows and sliced Max down. Max lay face down on the ground. Not moving, or making a sound…

The figure stood up and stepped into the light. It was Mr. Hotness.

"Jet!" Wonder cried. "You saved my life!"

"Are you ok?" Jet asked, with a pained, caring look on his handsome face.

"Yes Jet! Thanks to you!" Wonder said. Jet picked her up in a hug, swung her around, and then let go.

"Hey Wonder, if you want you can go to sleep in the cave with Laddie." David said softly. Wonder nodded and skipped inside.

Jet took a seat. David stayed standing.

"So…" David said softly.

"Great chick Wonder.." Jet said.

"Um, yeah sure…" David said.

"You involved?" He asked.

"What?...with Wonder! No way man, she is off limits, to you and me!" he said forcefully.

"Right…"

"I'm sorry dude."

"No problem."

"We do have to work together you know?"

"Yeah…I mean what? What do you mean?"

Wonder stayed close to the door, out of sight, eavesdropping.

"From one vampire to another." David said.

Wonder gasped, but stopped herself before they heard her.

"Oh, yeah I guess your right." Jet said.

"Vampires united."

"Forever. Vampires united."

"We will never fight over girls."

"Or take the other's."

"Deal."

"Deal."

Then David pulled a blade and put Jet in a headlock.

"Vampires united kiss my ass." Then let him go, but cracked his neck just enough to put him unconscious. Then he flew away. Wonder was horrified. She went out to where Jet was unconsciously lying. All alone. Then she looked a bit over because she heard a rustle. Max's body was gone.
