I DON'T OWN LOST BOYS OR ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL CHARACTERS, ONLY MY OCS AND THE SITUATIONS I PUT THEM IN. WARNING: There will be cussing, lemons, and violence. (Also someone said I should put please don't steal. Didn't think I needed to, but ok. Please don't steal my stories.)
So here we are again. I want this beginning and story to be different and since I haven't seen a start like this I think I'm on the right track. Some characters may seem OOC at some points at different times in the story, but I hope I explain that in the story when the time comes. Some things happen pretty fast at first (like certain relationships or legal stuff), but again I try to explain it. Some people may go back and forth at times, but I'll explain it! You get the idea. Spelling and grammar errors, I recheck constantly, so sorry if some slip by. Some character bashing in the beginning and for a little while, but that doesn't mean it will last the whole story. I don't hate certain characters though it may seem like that at times. Big thank you to everyone who reviewed, followed, and/or favorited. You guys rock! So, just to clear this up. After the boys first see the girls, a lot of the rest of the story will be following the girls pov (though written as narrative), unless it starts with the boys, then that's just that one will follow the boys. However, the boys will mention things later on, because they see it all. That being said, it will go back and forth every now and then, but mainly on the girls. Ok? Super, just wanted to make sure everyone got it. Your guys' reviews made me so happy and grateful, thank you all so much. So, this is basically the first meeting, things get juicy from here. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: First Meetings.
"Here" Eva said as she handed her sister her shoe. Their school didn't require seniors to wear uniforms, for which they were happy with.
"God, I can't find my sock" Danny said irritably. She was still shaken up from the dream.
"Fucking Mondays man" was all Ava said as she tried to brush her waist length curly hair, which didn't want to cooperate. Finally, she flipped it off in the mirror and just shoved it into two messy braids on either side her head. "Yeah, fuck you too hair" she muttered as she went to work on trying to cover the dark circles under her eyes.
"Ok" Danny said turning to them. "After breakfast, we're going to the library. If we don't find anything there, we'll call my Aunt Celia".
"Sounds good" Eva said. "I think there are a few books here that could help us, remember when we had to do that essay about Salem? So, we'll look for the books…but then what?" she asked looking at them.
"Um" Ava said turning to Danny.
"I can try to reverse it" Danny said biting her lip. "Or we could get help".
"Shit" Ava said as she leaned back against the door. "We don't even know what to do. Danny's basically a noob" she said getting a shout of disagreement from the girl. "If someone really is cursing us, we're fucked".
"We don't even know why they'd be doing it" Danny agreed after a moment.
"We'll figure it out" Eva told them. "We're in this together, like everything. We'll make a plan after we find out if someone is cursing us, or if it was just some weird coincidence or something. Plans are easy to make".
"You're right" Ava said, "Plan A; we kick someone's ass. Boom, done, I'm a fucking genius" she joked.
"Yeah, Einstein doesn't have shit on you" Eva said with a snort.
"Come on" Danny said as she just threw on some sandals. They were a dark brown, matching her tank top. She also had on some tight black jeans and a golden snake arm bracelet. Her lashes were long and painted with mascara with lip gloss being her only other makeup.
Messy curls loose and free.
Eva had pig tails, some mascara further darkening her long lashes and framing her big gray and blue eyes, just as Ava did for her green and grey orbs.
They both had on a tight monster shirts, tight faux leather jacket, and some ripped black jeans and gray boots.
Eva picked up her bat backpack and waited for the other two.
"I gotta get my history notes from Noah" Ava muttered pulling a lose strand of long bang hair off of her lip gloss.
"Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the quiz in…" Danny trailed off as all of the lights went off. This was concerning because it was daytime and the window was open, suddenly it looked like a heavy fog had settled out of nowhere.
"Ava?" Eva asked slightly scared as her sister took her hand. She was a brave girl, but this would put anyone on edge.
"This is some serious shit" Danny whispered backing away. Ava put both of them behind her, trying to protect them from whatever was outside of their window. Ava was the older twin and was used to putting her sister, and Danny, before her.
This was no different.
She didn't know how to feel about the mist, that looked to be swirling at an alarming rate, but she felt that it would probably be best if they got out of there.
With that in mind, she spoke. "Eva, open the door" she said lowly.
"It won't budge" her sister said. "Do you think whatever that is, is doing it?" Eva asked.
"But what is it" Danny asked.
"I don't know" Ava said. "But it's not fucking normal".
As that last bit left her mouth, the fog broke the window making the girls jump and cover their faces from the flying glass.
"I can't put my arms down" Danny yelled.
"Guys!" Ava called out, "The fucking thing is on me!" she told them as she felt the mist crawl up her leg. It almost felt like a ghost or shadow of a feeling, like someone was not quite touching you.
"Get off, get off, get off" she muttered repeatedly as Eva tried to reach over and grab her.
Suddenly, with almost violent speed, the fog shot up painfully into each girls' noses making them scream out before collapsing.
Just as everything turned black and they hit the ground, the girls yelled out again as they hit their heads and found themselves sitting upright in what appeared to be a truck with a large trailer behind them.
"Ah" they screamed.
"What's wrong?" Adam, the twins' father asked in worry.
"Dad?" Eva asked as Ava looked around in panic and Danny tried to catch her breath.
"What's wrong pumpkin?" he asked, and Eva's mouth moved though no words came out. Ava looked at her dad, reaching out to feel if he was real.
He let out a small chuckle and kissed her palm making her instantly calm, as it had since she was a child.
"Is this about your bikes?" he teased, and they all looked at him. "I promise that they've been delivered. Grandpa called and even said that they were fine, in the shed he made just for them".
"Delivered?" Danny asked.
"Grandpa?" the girls said confused since they only had their father and grandmother in their immediate family since their mother died when they were young. All other family members were either dead, or assholes they didn't see.
Besides Danny's Aunt Celia, who was practically the Bedlams' family as well since she lived with them and helped raise all the girls.
"You're Grandpa, in Santa Clara?" he said slowly before feeling Ava's head, who was sitting in the driver's seat. "Are you sure you're up for this?" he asked.
"Of course, they are. They're Bedlams" came the southern drawl of their Grandma Margret. "They know how much Lucy and the boys need them right now, and you've got an ex-brother in-law to 'talk to'" she said, and he nodded cracking his knuckles.
"No one does that to my baby" their grandmother said. "Now you be good to your grandpa, we may not be married anymore, but he's a good man" she told them.
"The trailer?" Danny asked and the two adults looked at them funny.
"Grandpa only has so many rooms, remember? Now you don't have to worry about the boys touching your stuff" Adam teased them.
Eva went to open her mouth and question more, but Ava stopped her.
"Ok, love you guys. Call you when we get there" she said, and the other two girls looked at her confused but copied her.
"Good, now Lucy and the boys should be there a few days after you. Maybe you can tidy up the house to make things welcoming" Margret said.
"Mom, you don't even know how the house looks" Adam sighed.
"Oh, yes I do, dead animals everywhere" she muttered. "Oh, I told him you were vegetarians, but you'll most likely have to remind him. You know how he is".
"But Aunt Lucy will take care of you. I know you girls want to get jobs and that's fine" Adam said putting his hands up like in surrender, "But I'd feel better knowing you're covered, so use the cards I got you, please" he told them, and they all nodded.
"Celia sends her love and is sorry she couldn't see you off" Margret said and Danny nodded. Her aunt was the only family left, and she usually spent so much time with the twins that the two Spanish women were considered Bedlams themselves.
"See you later" Adam said kissing all of their foreheads, followed by Margret before the girls all nodded one last time and drove off.
"Ok, what is going on" Eva said turning to Ava knowing her sister realized something.
"We're in the Lost Boys" Ava said seriously and the other two looked at her in shock.
"What? What do you mean, how is that even possible?" Danny asked.
"Do you mean the movie?" Eva asked since it was one of their favorite films.
"Yes, the movie. They said Grandpa in Santa Clara along with Lucy and her sons, aka Michael and Sam. And, I don't know how, I just know it's happened. Also…I'm not very comfortable driving this big ass trailer".
"Maybe I should drive" Eva offered.
"NO!" Ava and Danny yelled before calming themselves and Eva pouted.
"We just don't think you'd like it" Danny said trying to be delicate.
"I think you'd fucking crash" Ava said, ever the blunt one.
"So, what are we going to do, we're in the eighties…in a world with vampires that we'll most likely meet" Eva said. "What if they try to eat us!? What if they try to get us to eat people!?" she asked slightly panicked.
"Well" Ava said. "At least their hot-ow!" she said when Eva and Danny smacked her arm. "I was kidding…kind of".
"Well, we could always refuse" Danny said, but she sounded doubtful to even herself.
The girls had often talked about how much they'd like to be with the Lost Boys as vampires, but it was different when there was an actual possibility.
"Or?" Ava asked.
"Or" Danny said letting out a breath. "If, and this is a big what if, we eat bad guys?" she suggested.
"I think that would be ok" Eva began. "I mean there are supposed to be tons of bad people, right? And we can't not go, I mean this is a once in a lifetime thing, plus it could be cool! And I'd like to help Lucy. I mean how many times did we wish for this?! Though that whole eating people is…well, I don't want to think about it right now. And I don't want to be evil, I hope the boys aren't really evil, or are at least nice to us. Do you think they're really nice" she asked.
Ava and Danny were used to this by now, knowing Eva's ability to go on and on.
"This is even if they want to turn us and not just eat us" Ava added.
"Well" Danny said. "I don't know if they're super evil, they're supposed to be, but I guess we can't judge them until we meet them. If we meet them" she told them. "I guess we'll just have to keep an open mind".
"Open mind, ok" Ava said nodding. "But that doesn't mean I'm gonna let them push me around like they do Michael, you know I don't play that shit" she told them, and they chuckled.
"I don't know why we are acting like we're going to make a plan" Danny laughed. "We usually just do what we want and handle whatever happens the best we can."
"True" Eva said biting back a smile.
"Best thing I've heard all day" Ava told them. "On a side note" she said, and they turned to her, "Does anyone know what direction I'm supposed to be driving" she asked, and Danny burst out into laughter as Eva groaned and scrambled to find a map.
####SCENE BREAK#####
David was the first to open his eyes as soon as the sun went down. A perk that came with being the oldest boy.
He jumped down and slipped on his boots before walking out to the main area of the cave. He knew he had a good few minutes before the other boys joined him, usually starting with his quiet brother followed by the others.
David went to his wheelchair and leaned back thinking about what he had just seen.
The girls were on their way, he wondered if they would make it to the boardwalk tonight and he'd get a chance to meet his supposed mate.
He almost scoffed at the word as he tried to push down the part of his mind that jumped at the idea.
He would never admit it out loud, or even to himself, but he was in a whirlwind of emotions over the whole situation.
He never thought he'd have a mate; he didn't even think it was a possibility. He once was attracted to Star, but that fell apart quickly.
He liked what he was…now. It wasn't always like that.
So, he wasn't sure what to feel and decided to do what he usually did. He'd be an asshole and test the girls.
With that thought in mind, he readied himself for the possibly of meeting his mate shortly as he heard Dwayne making his way to him.
No words were needed, they were close and could speak without them at this point. He knew his brother was more open to the idea and even partially welcomed it.
"We'll feed first" he said, and Dwayne nodded. "The green eyed one…she's got a filthy mouth, doesn't she" he said with a smirk making Dwayne laugh.
"I like it" the other man said. "She seems very…unrestricted" he said, and David chuckled.
"She does, doesn't she?"
"Hey, who's ready to meet the babes!" Paul shouted as he ran out to them, almost tripping making Marko bust up.
"Who are we meeting?" Star asked softly, looking between them in worry.
"Don't worry about it" David told her with his usual cold smirk. "It doesn't concern you".
"Are you going to damn someone else?" she asked bitterly as Laddie went over to Dwayne.
"We didn't damn you; you drank from the bottle just like the rest of us" Marko scoffed.
"I didn't know what it was" she protested, and they all groaned.
"Get over it, Chica" Paul mocked her. "None of us knew".
"I take it you won't be feeding tonight, how disappointing" David said making her frown at the ground. "I'd watch myself Star" he told her. "I have no use for you, soon my patience will run out".
Of course, none of them told her that it was Max's decision to keep her, she wasn't trustworthy enough.
They had liked her at first, but each day they grew to dislike her just a little bit more.
She never fed and constantly reminded them what they were with scorn and hatred. Even David, who she used to date, was over it.
She was already half, her unwillingness to finish the change and higher than thou attitude just pissed the boys off to no end. They used to even be sympathetic, understanding what she was going through.
But that was a long time ago.
'Maybe some fresh blood is just what we need' he thought, his smirk growing.
"Are we going to get food" Laddie asked rubbing his stomach and Dwayne nodded, patting his back.
"Come on boys" David said standing up, "Let's eat".
With that, the boys howled and laughed as they followed David, a reluctant Star trailing behind.
As they reached their bikes, David held in a scoff when she got on behind him resting her head on his back.
She did that, every now and then. She often did things that were borderline romantic, and he knew why. She thought that it helped stop him from making her feed. It finally took her sitting in his lap when he was trying to pick up a girl for a meal, to make him snap.
He told her, not kindly either, that he wanted nothing to do with her, whether she fed or not since she didn't care if he wanted her to feed. He made his feelings for her, or lack thereof, well known.
"Let's get the babes" Paul shouted making them laugh. Star thought they meant the usual meal, but the others understood him.
The closer they got to the boardwalk, the more the boys, David included, found themselves looking forward to the idea of meeting these other world girls.
####SCENE BREAK#####
"Are we there yet?" Danny asked for the thousandth time, showing just how impatient she truly was.
"Yes" Ava said making her jump up.
They had been driving all day with barely any stops, but here they were, Grandpa's house. They made it right at sundown.
As soon as they got out, an old man began running over to them with a huge smile.
"Yeah, that's definitely Grandpa" Eva said as they recognized the guy from the movie.
"Did they ever say his real name?" Danny asked.
"Nope" Ava said as she smiled and jumped out of the truck. "Grandpa" she said happily, opening her arms to the obviously happy older man.
"My girls!" he cried happily making them laugh. "Ava, Eva, little Danny" he said making Danny try not to roll her eyes at the nickname.
"Hey Grandpa" Eva said smiling. They always thought his character was hilarious. "How's it hanging?"
"How's it hanging?" he asked confusedly. "It's been groovy" he told them, figuring out what their slang meant.
"That's chill, uh cool" Ava said sharing a look with the others.
"I love your girls' hair" he told them as he nodded to the house and began walking. "Much better than half the girls now, always teasing and poofing it up" he told them.
"That's not really our style" Danny said.
"We have enough poof as it is" Eva added.
"Well, I like it" he told them as they walked into the kitchen. "But it's getting kind of long, isn't it? Need all that hair down to your butt?"
"It's not down to our butts, just our waists" Ava said with a teasing lit. "So, you're going to share your Root beer, right?" she asked, and he shot her a look as he opened the fridge, pulling up the flap that said Old Fart.
"Know me too well" he muttered. "Don't tell the boys" he said in a conspirator tone making them giggle.
"Wouldn't dream of it" the twins said as they popped theirs open.
"Now, that room is my work room. Don't go in, give you nightmares" he told them, "Especially if you're not eating meat" he said before turning to Danny. "You still eat it, don't you?"
"They haven't been able to corrupt me yet" she said before leaning in, "I like bacon too much".
"That a-girl!" he said, and the twins sighed.
"Now, you girls are allowed in the house whenever you want, I would have given you the rooms, but Adam said you were more than happy with your trailer".
"Yeah, it's great. You should come check it out" Eva said as they began to lead him back out to the big silver trailer.
"Just stocked up on Double Stuffed Oreos" Ava added with a wink making Grandpa walk faster.
"Don't mind if I do" he said making the girls laugh. "Your bikes are in there by the way" he said pointing to a large shed. "Real beauties you got there" he told them, and they thanked him.
"Thanks" Eva said before speaking so only Danny and Ava could hear her. "I can't wait to see these wonder bikes. Do either of you know how to drive a motorcycle?"
"No, but how fucking awesome is that" Ava whispered.
"She's right" Danny said as they let Grandpa into the camper first. "Bikes are freaking sweet".
Grandpa whistled as he stepped into the huge, and seemingly expensive mobile home. He shook his head, knowing that Adam had gotten the best of the best for his girls.
"This is very nice" he told them. "You've got your own rooms?"
"Yeah" Ava said pulling on her braids, "You know dad, he goes all out" she said.
"And you girls still want jobs? That's good, hard work shows sign of good character" he told them. He was surprised, this place looked nicer than his house, and almost as big!
"Well, we can't rely on dad's money all of our lives, can we?" Ava asked.
"Adam's very kind, but it's important that we learn to do things for ourselves" Danny said and Grandpa nodded.
"I'm sure he'd disagree, but you three have always been his girls. So has Lucy, but that's just how big brothers are" he told them. "He even offered her money and everything, but Lucy being Lucy turned it down. Woman doesn't want to be a bother" he said turning to them.
"It's a good thing you girls are here. I think it'll really help. Not just your aunt either" he told them with a content smile that the girls returned.
"Anything we can do to help Gramps" Ava said and he nodded.
"Alright, well I've got some stuff to do. Do you girls have any plans" he asked.
"We were actually thinking about going to the boardwalk" Eva said making him pause momentarily, something that did not go unnoticed.
"Well…alright, but you girls be safe, promise?" he asked, and they all swore.
With one last nod, Grandpa handed the key to the shack to Ava and walked back to the house, telling them dinner was at six.
"So, should we go now or change?" Danny asked and the girls looked at themselves.
"I think we look fine" Ava said.
"But do we want to look fine, or fiiiiiine" Eva asked making her sister start laughing.
"I guess fiiiine" Danny laughed as Ava was still busy trying to breathe.
"Oh Gods" she said coughing a bit. "That was…wow. Ok, so let's get ready. I call first shower" she said and the other two groaned.
"Every time" Danny said.
"Just cause she's the 'oldest'" Eva said crossing her arms.
"Yep, now out of the way bitches" she said flipping them off with a big smile before running off as they went to throw decorative pillows at her.
####SCENE BREAK#####
The boys sat on their bikes, eyes sweeping the crowd and ears perked for any bikes that may come their way.
They knew the girls would be there soon and couldn't stop themselves from waiting for their arrival.
They hadn't even eaten yet, too busy waiting to get first real glance of their supposed 'mates'.
Suddenly, there was a roar of motorcycles. This wasn't that unusual, but as the sound neared them, the boys each felt a stirring in their body, like something was awakening.
It was almost like the feeling they had right before they fed, but different somehow.
Max was actually standing just outside of his shop. Unlike the boys, he didn't see everything that happened with the girls, but he could tell something was about to happen. This was mainly due to his sire link he shared with the boys, though it wasn't very strong anymore.
"Ow, ow baby" Paul catcalled as three bikes came speeding down the boardwalk and parked close by them.
On two matching deep purple bikes were Ava and Eva. The twins were also matching their hair style, makeup, and clothes.
Each had done something to make their curls seem more manageable as they reached just above their waists.
They had on faux leather hip huggers with metal skull belts that matched their chokers, black combat boots, short red and black corset styled crop tops, and their big faux leather jackets.
Long lashes showcasing their big eyes with a little liner and brush through their thick brows along with deep red lips completed the look.
Danny stepped off her own red glitter bike, drawing attention along with the twins.
She had on a beige off shoulder poet's shirt with a braided belt showing off her slim waist. She had on dark blue jean cut off shorts putting her smooth tan legs on display before ending in brown boots with designs on the pulled down sides.
She had on a thin golden chain necklace bringing attention to her pretty neck. Hair in a cute bun on her head with a few curls out here and there.
Some brown liner bringing out the honey in her eyes and clear gloss making her plump lips look amazing.
She was holding her own faux leather jacket in one hand over her shoulder.
"Where to first?" she asked the twins.
"I'm starving" Ava said and Danny and Eva rolled their eyes.
"You're always starving" Eva said and Ava shrugged uncaring. "I think we should go on some rides".
"Why don't we go see if there are any educational museums" Danny said making the twins slowly look at her. "It was a joke, geez sorry" she said smiling.
"You had me worried, right Ava?" Eva asked.
"I was just gonna ditch her" Ava joked dodging the shorter girl's punch. "Calm down, calm down. Let's just walk around and see what we want to do first" she suggested and the other two nodded.
"Danny, hold our hand" she said smirking. "Don't want to lose you in the crowds now".
"I'm not that short" Danny said stomping her foot making Ava hold in a laugh as Eva smacked her arm.
"Let's go this…way" Eva said making the other two look over trying to see what made her pause.
They followed her line of sight and realized that the Lost Boys were looking directly at them.
Danny gulped, Eva stared, Ava looked around making sure they were looking at them then wondered why they were looking at them that way.
That way being open mouthed with huge eyes.
From the moment the twins stood there in front of them and spoke, each vampire felt their inner demon come alive.
Paul and Marko's eyes were locked on Eva as Dwayne and David's were on Ava.
For once in a very long time, the four boys were speechless.
"What!?" Ava yelled getting annoyed before Danny and Eva shushed her.
"Don't draw attention" Eva whisper yelled. Though the boys heard her.
"Too late" Ava said. With one last look at the boys, where she did in fact openly check them out, she took Eva and Danny's arms before leading them away.
"Why the fuck were they looking at you like that" Danny demanded freaked out.
"I don't know, but right now I'm not really feeling up to finding out" Ava said as they weaved through people.
"Why do I feel like this isn't going to be the only time we'll see them?" Eva asked biting her lip.
"Because you're smart" Danny said sighing.
"But I feel like this was the most passive meeting we'll ever have with them" Ava said seriously making the other two girls look back in worry.
####SCENE BREAK#####
'Mate' was the only word going through the four boys' minds as they looked at the girls, barely even registering what they were saying.
Even David felt frozen as he laid eyes on Ava. It was so much different than just watching her through memories. Her smell, her face, her whole being called to him and his demon.
He was literally fighting himself to stay frozen, lest he expose his true nature to the world since all he wanted to do was run up and fly off with her to claim her in every way possible.
"Whoa" Paul said snapping them back to what was happening.
They realized that Ava yelled something at them before leading the other girls away.
"Ava" Dwayne said seemingly tasting the name, reminding David that she was meant for the other boy as well.
Oddly, he wasn't upset, but then again he had just realized that he was going to do anything in his power to turn and seduce his mate.
True, he didn't want to admit it out loud, but he knew he'd do anything to have her. Even though that sent a rush of anger through his veins.
"I totally feel it" Marko whispered looking at Paul and Dwayne, who nodded. They all looked at David.
His nostrils flared slightly though he tilted his head ever so slightly. They wisely kept silent, knowing that their leader did in fact feel what they felt and wasn't exactly pleased about it.
Though they saw the look in his eyes, and they shared a look.
The three wondered when he'd cave and do what the fortune teller had said, though they had no doubt that he'd try his own methods to get the girls to join them.
"Come on boys" David said. "We have some mates to catch".
####SCENE BREAK#####
The girls laughed as they got off of the roller coaster. They were walking off to see what restaurants were around when they heard a small voice.
"But I'm hungry Star" a small boy said.
"I'm sorry Laddie, but they didn't give me any money" a soft voice said sadly.
"Um hi" Danny said as they took in the two people. It was definitely Star and Laddie from the movie. He looked as adorable as he did in the film.
If you asked Danny, she'd say the bohemian looking girl looked even more beautiful in person.
"Hello" Star said smiling lightly at Danny before looking down.
"Do you want to go eat with us?" Danny asked as she pointed to the twins who waved.
"I don't think that would be a good idea" Star said apologetically.
"I promise we aren't murderers are something" Ava said trying to lighten the mood and Star gave a small grin.
"I just don't think it would be good…for you" she whispered that last bit but they heard it.
"If you're worried about paying us back or something, you can just tell us where you got that awesome earring" Eva said making Star brighten a little.
"She made it" Laddie said proudly and Star blushed.
"It's way cool" Danny said.
"Thank you" the half vampire said softly.
"Can we please Star" Laddie begged.
"We're new in town, and could use some friends" Ava tried to sway her.
"I'd like that" Star said honestly. "I just don't know if…it'd be a good idea" she said looking around like she was waiting for someone or something to pop out and get her.
"We'll protect you" Danny said making Star's smile turn sad. "It's just a meal" she said and Star bit her lip.
"Please, please, please" Laddie said pulling on her hand.
"Well…alright" she caved and Laddie and Ava cheered.
"I'm Eva by the way, that's my sister Ava and Danny. She's our sister in everything but blood" Eva said.
"That's very nice" Star said. "I'm Star, this is Laddie".
"Nice to meet ya" Ava said shaking their hands making Laddie giggle. "Do you know any good eats around here?"
"There's a really good place over there…but we don't have any money" Star said shifting her feet.
"Don't worry about that" Danny said as they all began to walk the way that Star pointed. "No debt between friends and all that" she said making Star look at her in surprise.
Ava and Eva smiled at each other, having seen their best friend's smitten look.
"You're all very nice" Star said.
"Nah" Ava joked. "Only to pretty girls" she added with a wink making the others chuckle. "And handsome men" she said to Laddie who puffed out his chest.
"I should warn you now" Eva said as she opened the door to the Italian place. "Ava swears like a sailor".
"Fuck you, it's not that much" Ava said without thinking before stretching her lips to a sheepish smile and looking at Laddie. "My bad".
"It's alright" Star said. "The…people we live with curse too" she told them and Laddie nodded, taking Ava's hand.
"Still, I don't want to make you guys uncomfortable" she said and they nodded.
"Thank you" Star said again in her soft voice.
The host looked at them with a scrunched-up nose, before Ava shot him a look. Eva pulled out a wad of cash and he eagerly led them to a table.
"Where did you get that?" Star asked in wonder at the money Eva slipped back into the hidden pocket in her jacket.
"Our dad" the twins said with a shrug.
"Adam, that's their dad, he doesn't like us worrying about money" Danny said.
"He sounds nice" Star said relaxing slightly. "Nicer than my father. Is your mother nice too?"
"She was, she uh died" Eva said looking at Ava who looked at the table.
"I'm sorry" Star said and Ava shook herself and smiled.
"No worries, you didn't know. So, how old are you, if that's not a rude question" she asked.
"Seventeen" she said and they smiled.
"So are we" Danny said.
"And how old are you" Eva asked Laddie who was eating all of the free bread.
"Ten" he said happily.
"So old" Ava teased stealing a bite of bread and he giggled.
"So, are you brother and sister?" Eva asked.
Star and Laddie looked at each other before nodding slowly. "Sort of" Star said looking down at the table.
"So what do you like to do for fun" Danny asked her, not wanting her to close off.
Star got to know the girls better as they ate. They let her and Laddie order anything they wanted, something Laddie was excited about.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Star spotted the boys by their bikes. She tensed thinking they were angry, until she noticed their gazes on the twins.
Now Star wasn't stupid, despite what some jealous girls believed. She saw the looks and realized right away that it wasn't the usual hungry or even horny stare.
It was more, so much more.
She feared for her new friends lives, though a part of her knew that it was already too late. A small part that she tried to ignore told her to be happy, because now she wouldn't be so alone.
But she tried to push that aside, she didn't want to damn the girls.
She almost turned and warned them before David's cold eyes caught her soft brown ones and made her freeze. His gaze promised pain and suffering should she interfere.
She gave a small nod and he smirked, but on the inside, she was boiling. She was determined to keep these kind people safe.
"I think we're going to go now" Star said looking down and Danny saw what she had been looking at.
"Can…can we meet you here tomorrow?" she asked nervously and Star looked up at her in a mixture of hope, fear, and surprise.
"Please" the twins said putting their bottom lips out and clasping their hands in a begging manner and she cracked.
"Alright" she said and Laddie cheered. He liked them a lot, he wished they lived with him at the cave.
"See you later" Star said wondering off with Laddie to the now empty bikes.
"Ok, one more ride before we go?" Eva asked.
"I know the one" Ava said looking at the large merry-go-round.
"Woman, you are going to get us killed" Danny muttered, knowing it was one of the rides the boys often frequented.
"But what a way to go" Ava joked before rushing off, them just a step behind her.
"Danny, do you need help up" Eva teased as Danny jumped on a white horse and flipped her off. "Someone's cranky, no more dessert for you".
"Eat me" Danny said and Eva made a mock offended face as she found a blue horse just a little ways up.
"Ava?" she called.
"Here" her sister said back, showing she was on a black winged horse. "Now let's hope our motion sickness shuts the fuck up, shall we" she said as the ride started.
They girls laughed as the ride moved faster and faster.
Ava tilted her head back as Eva and Danny tried to reach for each other.
"Well what do we have here" an oily voice said and they turned to see a bunch of grunge punk guys walking towards them until they were in front of them. "You babes new here?" the one with green hair asked.
Ava could have sworn she had seen him somewhere before, and not just as a victim in the movie.
"We live here, these horses are our home" she said with a straight face making Danny and Eva snort.
"What?" green hair asked confused.
"What do you want" Eva asked in a bored tone.
"Don't be like that baby" he said as his friends chuckled. "We just wanted to show you around, then we could show you the town too" he laughed as his friends high-fived him.
"Gross" Danny said sticking out her tongue.
"You would be the last people I'd want to show me anything" Eva told them.
"Oh, you think you're better than me" he asked getting mad.
"Yes" Ava said simply making his face take on color.
"Oh yeah bitch, well-" he said going to walk towards her before she jumped off the horse and jabbed him hard in the chest making him stumble back.
"Call me a bitch again and see if I don't fuck up your face, oh wait too late. Your mama did it for me" she told him.
He opened his mouth to shout something at her before his eyes looked behind her and widened.
Eva and Danny turned seeing the Lost Boys walk up casually, David stopping just behind Ava who hadn't taken her eyes off green hair.
"I think the ladies said that they aren't interested" David said with a smirk and it took everything in Ava not to jump at the sudden sound of his voice.
"Whatever man" green hair said as he and his friends backed up and started jumping off, "This isn't over".
Once they were gone, Ava turned partially to David and looked him up and down. "Thanks" she said before going over to her sister.
Well, she tried but Dwayne slightly blocked her path. He leaned against a horse and gave a small smirk.
"So, do we get to learn your names, since we saved you and all" David said coming behind her again making her press her back against a horse so she could face them all.
She shook her head with her own smirk.
"Don't be like that girl" Paul said from his spot next to Eva. He and Marko were on either side of her, keeping her on the horse.
"Sorry, we don't speak English" she told him and they looked at her with 'really' expressions.
"She's right" Danny said. "They don't speak a lick of it."
"Then how are you speaking it now" Marko asked with a raised brow and Eva smiled.
"Oh, we only learned that phrase and this one explaining it" Eva told them.
"Is that so?" David asked in obvious disbelief and Ava looked at him in confusion.
"Que?" she asked and Dwayne let out an abrupt laugh.
David looked her up and down slowly, used to having most people fall over themselves to either keep his attention or get away from him. He wasn't used to getting real sass.
Paul and Marko laughed, while moving closer to Eva. Marko placed one of his hands above hers that were on the pole of her horse.
Paul 'accidentally' touched her ass. In turn, Eva 'accidentally' kicked his leg making him hop around.
"Are you sure you don't speak English" Dwayne asked lowly making Ava look at him with a teasing smirk.
"Lo siento, hombre sexy, pero no sé lo que estás diciendo" she said biting her lip. The other boys actually looked momentarily stunned when he gave her a full genuine smile.
Teeth and all.
Danny giggled, she knew how proud Ava was of her ability to speak Spanish. It had only taken her seven years to learn. Unlike Eva, languages did not come easily for Ava.
Her strengths were in writing and music.
"Lástima, bella paloma" he said back making her give him a real smile in return.
David wasn't sure how he felt about his mate showing more attention to Dwayne. True, she was his mate as well, but he wanted her to smile at him.
He almost vamped out when that line of thought ran through his head.
"Did she call him sexy?" Paul asked latching on to the only word he knew out of all that.
Eva chuckled and shook her head. "Eso es lo que llamó tu atención" she asked him and he smiled leaning, looking seductive.
"I failed Spanish, maybe you could teach me. Huh Chica?" he asked and she laughed before patting his head.
"No tengo mucho tiempo, hermana retorcida" she told him with a mock pout as his face scrunched up in more confusion.
"What, what did she say" he asked when he noticed half of them laughing.
"She said she doesn't have that much time and then called you Twisted Sister. Like the band" Marko told him taking one of her curls in his hand. "Right Babe?" he teased.
"Si" she said simply making him laugh.
"Oh, you like how I look babe, huh? Is that what you're into" Paul flirted before she was pulled off the horse by Danny, Ava was pulled away too.
"So sorry guys" Danny said in her heavy Spanish accent. "But we really must be going" she said jumping down with the twins and boys following her.
"How come you speak English?" Paul asked.
"I'm white" she joked gesturing to her caramel skin making the twins snort.
They made it to their bikes and noticed the boys had moved theirs closer.
"Hey guys" Laddie said happily and they waved, greeting him and a nervous Star.
"I thought you didn't speak English" David said sarcastically to Ava who raised a brow.
"What is he talking about?" Star asked confused.
"Not sure" Ava said, eyes never leaving the blonde. "Must be delusional".
"But we all heard it, how do you explain that?" Marko asked.
"Easy, group hallucination. Scary really" Eva said with a straight face.
Danny and Ava nodded sagely behind her.
"Well, we'll see you later" Danny said as she started to get on her bike, sending another look at Star who was looking back at her.
"Bye" Eva said managing to dodge Marko and Paul's hands.
Ava looked at David and Dwayne before turning to her bike, but a hand on her arm stopped her. She turned slowly and looked at the hand all the way up to a smirking David.
"Can I help you?" she asked but he saw her eyes darken.
"Come with us".
"I'm not supposed to go to strange places with strangers" she shot back.
"It'll be fun".
"Next you'll be offering me candy" she said pulling her arm out of his grip, making him tilt his head.
They stared at each other in silence for a moment as everyone watched.
Finally, David smirked and Ava scowled before returning the gesture.
She recognized the look on his face. It said 'challenge accepted'. She wasn't sure how she felt about that. Yes, she had always had a crush on him and Dwayne from the movies and fantasized about them and being a vampire with them, but this was real life.
Reality was a lot more scary than imaginative.
"I'll be seeing you around" he told her with certainty.
"I don't doubt it" she said back. They stared at each other for another second before Ava backed away to her bike.
"Goodbye Dove" Dwayne told her quietly making her smile.
"You know, I have no idea why you're calling me that" she said and he surprised her by taking her hand and kissing it.
"Maybe I'll tell you…someday" he said making her roll her eyes with a chuckle.
"Do I get a kiss goodbye" Marko teased Eva.
"Me too" Paul said eagerly making her laugh.
"I don't think that would be best, do you?" she asked with raised brows and tiny smile.
"I think it would be the best" Marko argued. He leaned in to kiss her making her eyes widen. Paul also leaned in, both with their eyes closed.
Eva moved her head back making their lips connect.
They actually stayed like that for a second before they heard the laughter, including David's. They opened their eyes, which widened, and then practically fell back almost landing on their asses.
"That's our cue" Danny said still giggling. "Bye Star, Laddie" she said starting her bike. Ava and Eva copied her and they took off before the boys could do anything else.
Ava looked back and noticed them all still watching them. David smirked at her as he mounted his bike, Star behind him.
Those ice cold eyes the last thing she saw before having to face forward and speeding home.
A/N: Thank you guys so much. Soooo much drama between David and Ava coming up, it's going to be a rocky ride between those two. I'll tell you that now. I'm glad you guys are liking it so much. I'm having to take a few days off of work, because I'm sick again. Happens a lot, so I'll have a few days to really go over grammar and stuff, but I'm glad it doesn't really bother you guys. Ask, suggest, or review if you'd like. Until next time, have a great day.
