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! Last thing, in one part I saw 'few weeks' even though I know it's seems like a few days, but that's a bit fast (But then again, I doubt the boys do slow. Once they were like, she mine, well…you know they're not staying just friends for long. And the girls are like 'I really shouldn't….but yes please!' Or is that just me?), so it's a few weeks, though not like a month or anything. I hope you guys like this chapter, I really do. It was a struggle because I was getting major writers block along with other things you guys already know about. But, I think it turned out pretty well. Like always, thank you guys so much for your support and patience, it means the world to me. Your reviews just let me know everything was going to be fine and it was all good. Enjoy.
Chapter 6: Caught Up in the Moment and First Taste.
"So, what do you three do around here?" Lucy asked the girls, who looked at each other.
"We've…met some people" Ava mentioned slowly.
"They're great" Eva added.
"So you're in a gang?" Sam asked laughing.
Lucy and Mike joined him till they noticed the girls weren't laughing with them.
"Girls" Lucy said.
"Aunt Lucy, it's fine. Technically…we're just dating people in the gang" Eva soothed cheerfully before Danny added.
"Although they are trying to get us to join".
"Ask them who" Grandpa muttered before rushing away from their narrowed eyes.
"Who?" Mike asked.
"Haha" Ava laughed before clearing her throat. "It just recently became official. Don't freak out!" she demanded.
"We won't" Lucy promised.
"I'm seeing David and Dwayne" she told them, making their eyes widen in surprise, so Eva continued for her.
"I've started seeing Paul and Marko".
"And I've been on a few dates with Star" Danny said, sending a look at Mike.
"Two people…well that's-" Lucy said, trying to find the right word.
"Weird" Sam said before both an unhappy looking Mike and Lucy swatted at him.
"Free, hip" Lucy smiled. "As long as you're happy" she added.
"We are" Eva assured.
"I thought you didn't date" Mike said, crossing his arms.
"We didn't, till now" Ava replied, crossing her own arms.
He didn't look thrilled.
'Well what can you do Mikey, we weren't exactly planning it' Ava thought, holding in an eye roll.
'Please don't be as teen angsty in real life as you seemed in the movie' Eva mentally pleaded. 'You kinda came off as a douche' she thought.
'Just don't be eyeing my potential woman' was Danny's mental contribution.
"You guys have bikes, nice bikes" Mike said, distracting himself with their Harleys.
"Yeah" Ava said.
"How nice" Lucy smiled.
"Way cooler than Michael's" Sam said, snickering when his brother glared at him.
"Yeah, well we have jobs too. We sing at a diner. Maybe you guys can check us out some time" Eva said.
"It's rock and roll" Danny winked at Lucy, who giggled.
"All right" Sam said happily. "You guys ever play pop" he asked excitedly.
"Cool, then maybe you can introduce us to your friends" Mike said and the three shared looks.
"I don't think that would be a good idea" Ava said, "Plus, I'm sure you'll find your own group" she added.
They felt a little bad, but they didn't really know Michael, plus they knew what could happen if Mike did try to hang out with the boys.
"Come on Mike, don't try to muscle in on the girls' group" Sam said, rolling his eyes. "I'm sure we'll see them eventually, don't be lame and try to hang with them just 'cause you're related" Sam laughed before Michael attempted to get him in a headlock.
"I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind if you hung out-uh girls?" Lucy tried, but they were already running off.
"We have to eat and get ready for tonight Aunt Lucy. Maybe before our dates we can give you a little tour" Eva shouted before Ava pushed her lightly.
"Actually, we have to go to the book store, so we'll see you later. Great seeing you guys, glad you're here" she called out.
"See ya" Danny said before they ran into the camper, ignoring the boys' comments about its' size.
The three girls waited until Grandpa moved the family inside before running out and jumping on their bikes and speeding off.
It wasn't that they didn't want to help unpack, but they needed to get to the bookstore fast.
And they didn't want to unpack.
The three made their way into the book store and into the back, to the section that Grudella told them about where they would find the things they had been missing.
"Vampires, vampires" Ava said looking through as the other two watched. She understood the system better. "I see vortexes, but not vampires" she sighed, continuing to look.
"Look for Cold Ones" Eva joked, dodging Ava's halfhearted kick.
"Here, it was in the wrong spot" Danny said, picking it up.
"Oh, I hate it when people do that" Ava complained as the twins crowded around the shorter girl to read over her shoulders.
"Vampires are very trying, powerful beings of seduction and death" Ava read.
"Yeah, nothing new there" Danny muttered.
"They are moody, most are unpredictable, and without a doubt undyingly protective of their coven members and mates and usually their head" Ava trailed off.
"Well we aren't coven members" Eva said, leaving out the possibility that they may turn. "What are mates?" she asked.
"Does it mean like how animals find their mates?" Danny wondered.
"Let's see, it says-blah, blah, blah. Oh, here it is!" Ava said, and they moved further down the isle as to not be heard. "It says that they are made for each vampire, though on rare occasions one or two mates can be for multiple vampires or even a full coven. Also, there have been rare cases where multiple mates have been connected to one vampire" she read off the page.
"Anything else?" Eva asked, but she saw that the rest of the page was torn out.
"They didn't get this" Danny pointed out to the very bottom where it looked like the page went off a strip. "Maybe whoever was too busy to care" she said.
"Or too desperate" Eva added.
"Here, it references to another book I saw earlier" Ava said, going behind some isles and muttering to herself as she grabbed another book.
Just then a whole group of tan tweens walked in, giggling before staring at them and whispering in either awe or something. They couldn't really tell before some boys walked in and the giggles returned along with the boys starting to try to show off to both groups of girls.
"Here, let's buy these and go. We can research at home" Ava said as they made their way out.
"What happens tonight if David wants us to drink? Do we say no, do we want to? There's so much we don't know. Are we going to give them a chance to tell us first? Can we say no? Can we do good, or do we turn bad?" Eva asked, working herself up into a state.
"Don't worry" Danny said as Ava paid. "We'll look through these and if need be, we'll visit Grudella" she said.
"She's right" Ava said, "Tonight, no matter what…we find out exactly what's going on".
She didn't know just how good the boys were at the art of distraction, even when they weren't trying.
########################################################################################################
David's orange and red eyes flashed open before he dropped down from his spot on the ceiling. He cracked his neck back and forth before reopening his now blue eyes as he slid on his boots.
He took a deep breath as he slowly made his way through the different rooms, stopping to clean himself and redress.
'Tonight is the night. The boys may not approve and may have their own ways of doing it, and I'll let them try…for now' he thought, rubbing his chest trying to get rid of the ever growing pain where his heart was.
The boys noticed that each night they didn't have the girls with them, in the cave, or as Paul thought in bed, with them, the pain grew.
It only went away when the girls were around and happy.
'But no matter what, they are drinking tonight' he thought, head held high as he made it to the main hall. 'I'll do it!' he thought, but at this point it mainly just sounded like he was trying to convince himself that he'd trick or force Ava into drinking.
In truth, he kept hesitating at the mere thought.
"Hey man, I can't wait for our date-" Paul cheered before screwing up his face. "Er, you know what I mean man" he said to Marko who now looked a tad disturbed.
Dwayne laughed and even David chuckled.
"I think we're all excited to take the girls out again" Marko said and they nodded.
"Even little Star's got a date" Paul said, teasing the now blushing girl. He and Marko went around and kept up the teasing. She didn't mind, well not much. It was light hearted and it felt almost like before. When they were really her friends.
Her family.
'Maybe that's why the girls are here, to bring us together again' she thought pleasantly.
She immediately felt guilty over the thought.
"Star, can you go bathe Laddie?" Dwayne asked in his quiet tones, and she nodded while leading the still sleepy little boy out.
Once gone, the boys began talking about the other thing that had been occupying their minds.
Dwayne, Marko, and Paul looked at David who was once more sitting in his favorite wheelchair. "Tonight is the concert" he said. "Danny is still taking Star, despite how much she tried to change her mind, so, Michael will most likely still see Star there" he told them.
"Maybe with the girls here, it will help us change Michael faster, like we know Max will want. He hasn't seen their mom yet, but we know he will and most likely tell us to turn them again. Hell, he's already told us that that's the plan" Marko put in as Dwayne looked deep in thought.
"I don't think trying to change Michael is the answer" Paul said, and they looked at him. "Dudes" he sighed as if they were slow making them shoot him looks until he shook his head and continued.
"Michael obviously isn't right for this kind of life. He freaked the fuck out and got us killed, and that was after he drank. I don't think knowing the girls first will help with that" he told them.
"He's right, he didn't look happy when they mentioned us" Marko said, still pleased over Eva mentioning them at all. "And that's before he's even met us" he added.
"Yeah, plus Lucy isn't Max's mate" Paul stated simply and again they stared, making him roll his eyes.
"Think about it dudes" he sighed, striking a match on his shoe and lighting his joint. "Marko and I can't even think of looking at other chicks because it may hurt our mate's feelings, her FEELINGS. I think threatening to kill someone's kids is worse than that" he pointed out as they soaked that up.
He sat down on the fountain as they all settled down, all freshened up and now waiting to be able to go see the girls.
They could still hear Star and knew she wasn't within listening range.
"Dwayne's romancing Ava, even David's trying…sort of" he snickered before moving on at seeing the look on his leader's face. "Either way, we can all agree we'd never actually hurt our mates" he said and they nodded.
David nodded slowly, they knew it had hurt him when he and Ava fought.
"Hell, even higher than thou Star is letting Danny near us. I don't know if they're mates, but it makes sense" he told them and that really hit them.
"So, if Star is willing to even entertain the idea of letting Danny possibly risk getting turned just so they could be together, and we're doing our bests with our babes, then how could Max so easily try to hurt and then even kill his so called 'mate'?" Paul asked, making them think.
"It makes sense, for once" Dwyane teased.
"That's my boy" Marko cheered as they high-fived.
"You may be right" David said, "But that doesn't help us with Max" he reminded them.
"It's not like he comes around a lot" Marko pointed out. "And what is he really going to do if we don't listen? He just said we had to listen and we've followed".
"And we don't really know what would happen if we didn't listen. I mean, him and that medicine woman made it seem like nothing could come between mates" Dwayne spoke up. "So if his orders are a threat to our mates…" he left the thought hanging.
They heard the two halflings begin to make their way back to them.
"Bring the girls here tonight, all of them" David said, right before Star and Laddie joined them.
"Let's ride" he said and they all made it to the bikes before taking off, leaving Laddie at the cave. The whole time, Star was thinking of what to do with Daniela.
Part of her wanted to push the girl away for Danny's own good. She didn't want to damn her, she didn't want her stuck with them forever. She didn't want to turn her into a bloodthirsty killer. She didn't want her to have this ever consuming thirst that cursed Star.
However, another more selfish part wanted Danny with her so that she wasn't so lonely. So that she had someone who understood her, who gave her butterflies.
Someone who could make forever worth it.
Paul and Marko were thinking about their date with Eva and how they were both going to stand out and convince her to drink from the bottle. How they were going to make her feel special and know just what she meant to them and how she made them feel.
Dwayne was also thinking of how to convince Ava, as David wondered what would happen if he just told her what was in the bottle before asking her to drink.
A ride that was usually filled with hollers and fun was now only filled with the hum of the bikes as Laddie watched from the mouth of the cave as they disappeared.
He knew something was going on. He wasn't the oblivious little kid most people thought he was.
He was staying at the cave so Star and Danny could have some grown up alone time. He knew that his 'sister' liked the girl, he liked her too, but he thought Star liked her in a different way and he wanted her to be happy.
Despite the others being quiet, he also knew that they wanted Danny and the twins to drink. Laddie thought that would be a great idea.
He knew it scared Star, but he thought it was fun. Sometimes he missed his mom, but the boys were loads better than his dad.
Of course, for the knowledge he had gained, he was still a child. He didn't actually understand he'd have to kill someone.
He thought it would be great if the twins and Danny were part of the family, he'd have more sisters! He loved his family. Maybe Ava could be his Mom, like how he sort of saw Dwayne as his Dad.
Though he didn't think she drank as much as his real mom.
He sighed and went over to his corner of the main room, stuffed with his magazines, comics and toys.
"It'll be so much fun when they're here" he said to himself. "Maybe they'll give me real little brothers and sisters" he said, going through a box before pulling out a comic.
He looked over to 'the' bottle.
He turned away, he wondered still if he was even supposed to have drank. David had seemed so angry at the time.
Dwayne had saved him though.
"It's gonna be so much fun" he told himself, in the way little children did before he decided to go around the room and get things ready for the girls' arrival. Even if something happened and they couldn't show, he'd make sure it stayed nice for the next night.
Laddie wanted to make sure he did everything he could to make them want to stay.
########################################################################################################
"You're quiet tonight, is everything ok?" Danny asked Star, trying to keep her own nerves at bay.
"I don't know" Star said as they made their way through the crowd. She stopped, making the other girl stop as people moved around them, seeming to act like they were in a bubble.
"I like you Daniela, a lot" Star said in her light voice making Danny start to smile. "But" she hesitated.
"But?" Danny asked, swallowing.
"But I'm dangerous. If you stay around me, you'll get hurt. I don't want you to get hurt, so I don't think you should stay around me. I think you should forget me" Star told her, growing quiet as Danny looked down.
"But" Star said again, and Danny's head shot up.
"But?" Danny asked.
"But I don't think I can stay away from you" she confided.
"Then you shouldn't" Danny said. "I know there are things about you, secrets" she told Star, making the other girl's eyes widen in slight panic before she followed as Danny began walking again.
"But I have secrets too" Danny told her. "Secrets I want to tell you, but I'm afraid to. I like you, like more than you can know and I know we haven't known each other for long but it feels so right. I don't want you scared of me, or thinking I deceived you" Danny stated.
"That's not my intention" she finished.
Tenderly and not without hesitation, Star took Danny's soft tanned hand in hers. "A lot of things scare me" Star whispered, but Daniela heard it loud and clear, "But you are one of the few that don't".
They stopped again, now on the outskirts of the concert.
"I don't-" Star stopped herself, knowing that what she was about to say could easily come back and bite her. Had bitten her before.
But she didn't care.
Danny was different, Danny wasn't cruel and she even told her she had secrets. Danny wasn't David.
Star wanted everything that came with Daniela, even the bad. Star wanted Danny.
"I don't want you to stay away, and I don't care about your secrets. I want you, I want to be with you" Star said and the next thing she knew, there were soft, melon flavored lips pressed against her own in a tender kiss.
Slowly, they pulled away.
"Don't hate me" Star said, a new spark in her eye that Daniela hadn't seen before.
"Never" Danny promised.
Star smiled, pushing aside her thoughts of what may happen. What she could do, what she might do to keep Daniela with her. She leaned in for another kiss, content to just enjoy the warm moment.
########################################################################################################
Eva was swept up by Paul and Marko the moment they saw her. Each taking a kiss and a hand before leading her off.
She laughed as they won her toys from the games and got her funnel cake. She tried not to think of how they got that money, doubting that Max gave it to them.
"You have fun with us, right Babe?" Paul asked.
"Well, this has been a crazy few weeks, but yeah. I have fun with you guys" she said, smiling.
"We mean, together, like as our girlfriend. I know we're awesome friends" Marko added and she giggled before noticing that under their smiles seemed genuine worry.
'They never really have to worry about girlfriends I guess' she thought, 'Just meals and dates' she guessed.
"You guys are great boyfriends. It's our second date, but it feels like something out of a movie" she said, before laughing at how real that actual was to what was happening.
She didn't know that they got the joke too.
"So, if there was a way-" Marko went to ask but he was surprised when Paul cut him off.
Paul kissed Eva, swinging her around, making her laugh against his lips and have to hold onto him as to not fall. He rested her against the side of a building, keeping her between him and the stone.
She raised a brow at how he kept her legs around his hips, making him wink before kissing her.
He pulled back and looked at an irritated Marko.
"That was fun, and we could always have that much fun" he said, seeming to send a silent message to the other blonde who nodded and scooted into her side.
"We could have even more fun" Marko said, kissing her neck.
"Whoa, this is only the second date guys" she said, even as she gasped when he nibbled on a surprisingly sensitive spot on her neck as Paul still held her up, slowly pushing his hips into hers.
However, his concentration wasn't fully on that as he watched her expressions. He enjoyed it, he hadn't enjoyed anything like it in a long time, but he was also feeling how warm she was under his cold hands as her own feather like touches sent electricity down his chest and through his whole body.
She was mesmerizing him, so he let Marko do all the speaking.
Something that the other blonde was having issues with as he was busy trying to earn another heavenly sigh out of the blue-eyed beauty that tasted like sweet heat in his mouth as his tongue traced her pulse point.
"You taste so good doll" Marko said, with a hint of an accent that she couldn't really place with her distracted mind.
"That uh, that feels really good but people are watching" she said with a little laugh.
Marko pulled away, but then Paul pulled her to him, letting her feet hit the ground as his hands traveled up her back and held her, though his mouth was gentle.
Usually, his kisses were fast and full of heat. There was still heat in this one, but it was like a slow burn.
The only thing Eva could compare it to was a movie scene when the boy saw the girl, like really saw her.
She didn't mind though seeing as he was sweet, and his lips were chilled and she could swear there were sparks behind her eyes.
She knew she liked kissing Marko and Paul, both set her on fire, but this kiss felt so different in the best way.
Seeing this, Marko waited with lidded eyes for his turn as he slowly started to see what Paul did. Though it wasn't his time to see fully, not yet. But this marked the beginning showing that soon he would.
It would later be humorous that Paul was the one to first catch on and lead them through the light.
But right now, none of that mattered.
Once Paul pulled back, Marko took his place with slightly more urgency and Paul laid gentle kisses on her neck.
It was a little over whelming, but she would have been lying if she said she didn't like it.
'Still, in public' her mind reminded, so with a little effort she was able to separate and take a much needed gulp of air as her bright eyes looked at the two unworldly beautiful boys.
Her mind picked up on everything she had known, and things she never noticed before.
There was an almost glow like quality to them both and she knew it was one reason why so very few dared to mess with them. It was amazing, yet intimating.
But she felt safe.
Paul's eyes were bluer, if that was possible. They had an almost sky like quality to them, so blue that she thought the sun could have been seen in his smiling eyes.
Marko's was more like the green and blue of the sea, so stormy, so expressive. They were beautiful and full of joy, but there was a hidden danger of getting swept away.
She felt like both boys had some dangerous quality to them, but still, she felt safe. It was like they tried with her, tried to be the fun loving teens that they portrayed.
Their smiles. Marko's Cheshire cat and Paul's easy grin.
The straight line of Paul's nose and the roundness of Marko's cheeks.
Marko she could just lean over and their lips would be connected, with Paul she'd have to stretch.
She noticed a slight scar on Marko's chin and wondered where he got it from.
Just like Paul had stubble and a dimple.
It was like seeing the sun and moon together and Eva felt her chest expand and tighten, like something was happening. She didn't know what it was.
'I like it' her mind decided in a distant echo.
"Are you ok Eva?" Paul asked, sky eyes full of concern.
She smiled, her own baby blues lighting up before she tried to tackle them both in a hug. She was still so conflicted within herself over…what they were and what they did.
What they possibly wanted from her.
But they clicked in the best of ways and she wanted to hold onto that feeling, even if reality would come crashing down on her later and the horror of what they really were would finally rear its unholy head.
The fact that she wasn't too bothered with it scared her, but she knew there was a reason that she felt this connection and she was determined to stay with them and find out why.
"Yes, I'm just happy I'm here with you" she said and they smiled, sharing a look over her head.
"We're happy too" Paul said.
"You wanted to talk?" she asked when she pulled back and they got her walking again, once more each taking a hand and letting passersby know who she was with.
"We have something to tell you" Marko said, licking his lower lip as they led her to the fairis wheel.
"A few things to talk about" Paul added.
"Yeah" Marko went to say, but looking into her big eyes he stopped before looking back at Paul for help.
"How about we have some more fun and then we can talk about it at the cave?" Paul suggested.
Eva bit her lip. She wanted answers. She believed she knew what they were going to talk about, at least she was hoping she did and it excited her.
Not only would it get that out in the open, but it would mean that they trusted her and they could talk things through.
'But maybe they're right. No use ruining the whole night in case things get heavy' she thought before wondering when she started to adopt some of the slang.
"Ok, and then we'll talk later?" she asked.
"Later" they answered together, making her smile when they slung their arms over her shoulders.
"Now come on Babe. We're going on this, then we're going to the music store then the paint store" Paul said and she let them lead her on the ride.
Laughing when Paul practically danced on and Marko gave a playful smack to her behind.
########################################################################################################
Ava couldn't stop laughing, she didn't think she could stop if she tried.
Like her sister's beaus, David and Dwayne had attempted to win her games as well. However, since her eyes had been stuck on the large bat toy, they hadn't gone for the strength games, they went for the obviously rigged ones.
They came very close to winning, before the man nervously would sabotage them.
The old carny thought it was funny too until he saw their faces and he got the immediate sense of danger, though he tried not to show it.
Somehow, he didn't think they'd be so lenient with him as they were with the girl.
He brushed it off as just some hyped up teens, not knowing he was now on the menu. David led a still giggling Ava away as Dwayne sent one last smirk at the man before following.
"Thank you for trying" Ava said when she noticed how annoyed they were at not being able to win.
She didn't know if it was from her laughter, or because they hadn't been able to show off to her.
She decided it didn't hurt to soothe them a little.
"It was sweet, even if he cheated" she said, kissing both on the cheek.
That wiped the stormy pouts off their faces and now David had his usual smirk back in place as Dwayne had on his barely there grin.
"Are you having fun so far Dove?" Dwayne asked as they each slipped an arm around her waist.
"Lots" she nodded. And it was true, so far David hadn't had any attitude, at least none aimed at her.
"Well, the night's still young Princess" David said, looking down at her with a lifted brow and his smirk grew.
"Hmm, and so are we" she agreed. She could still taste the sweetness of the cotton candy that they had gotten her, though she had felt a little bad when she had seen her 'cousins' roaming around.
Suddenly, Ava paused.
"What is it?" David asked.
"That's my Aunt" she said, seeing Lucy bending down to talk to the little lost boy. Ava's mind worked fast. She liked David and Dwayne, felt things for them that she didn't even understand having never felt them before.
And the others were cool, but Max… She wasn't really a fan of Max and she wondered if she should get her Aunt away from him.
David and Dwayne looked at each other before Dwayne spoke, "Why don't we go talk to her" he said, shocking Ava.
She'd be a liar if she said she didn't feel a drop of suspicion, but nodded none the less.
"Aunt Lucy" she called, just as the woman had turned.
The pretty, older red head spotted them and smiled walking over with the little boy.
"Hey Ava" she said, smiling at her niece and the two young men.
Ava looked at them and noticed they were standing taller and seemed odd. 'Is that- is that a nervous smile and a fidget. Are they nervous?' she wondered with a smile.
"Aunt Lucy, these are my boyfriends, David and Dwayne" she said and saw their shoulders slightly relax. She wondered if they were anxious about how she'd introduce them or making a good impression.
"Nice to meet you" Lucy said with a kind smile as she shook their hands. "This is Terry, he's lost" she motioned to the little boy who was hiding in her skirt.
"Terry, Terry!" a frantic blonde woman called and the boy ran to her.
"Mommy!" he said and the woman picked him up, looking relieved.
"Oh thank God" she sighed before smiling at Lucy gratefully. "Thank you" she gushed.
"No problem" Lucy told her as the woman walked off. "I was going to go into the video store and see if there were any jobs available" she said just as Paul, Eva, and Marko walked up.
"Hey Aunt Lucy, these are my boyfriends Marko and Paul" Eva said and the boys greeted her much like their brothers had.
"I wouldn't look for a job in there" David said, serious tone in place and the women looked at him.
"Yeah, the owner's creepy" Marko quickly supplied.
"Bit of a perv" Paul added.
"You'd know all about that" Eva muttered with a grin.
"We know a place you could work" Dwayne spoke up, though it was low and Lucy had almost missed it.
"Oh, really? Thank you boys" she said, grateful that they had warned her.
The twins were honestly surprised.
True, the boys never talked about Max, but technically he was their maker.
'But they don't act close in the movie, though there is only one scene with them together…and alive' Ava thought.
'He didn't even seem that upset they were dead' Eva continued her sister's line of thought unintentionally.
'Do they…do they not like him at all? That would make sense. Why else would they keep Lucy away? Maybe for us?' Ava thought.
'I'm confused' was the thought the girls shared.
"Here, there's a really cool ice cream shop this way" Marko directed and they followed him down a path that seemed to hold most of the families.
"Really?" Lucy asked, feeling a little out of place with the group.
"Yeah, Laddie loves it" Paul agreed as David lit up a cigarette before seeing Lucy discretely wrinkle her nose.
He huffed but put it up.
Ava saw and simply watched him, smile playing on her face before she turned to Dwayne.
"Laddie's mine" he said and Lucy made an oh with her mouth.
"Oh, he's your son?" she asked and Dwayne nodded, looking out. "How old is he?" she asked him pleasantly.
"Eight" Dwayne said with a small smile.
"He's adorable" Ava grinned and Dwayne turned his smile on her as he slid a hand around her waist. Without looking, David put his arm around her shoulder, making Dwayne huff quietly since the hand was almost in his face.
Still, neither relinquished their hold on the green-eyed beauty, who rolled her eyes fondly.
Paul and Marko took Eva's hands once more and Lucy smiled, despite her blush.
After dropping her off at the small shop, they made their way back to their bikes.
"Where's Danny and Star?" Eva asked, looking around.
"Right there, and not happy" Ava said, motioning with her head as she leaned against David's bike.
There, walking towards them, was Star and Danny. However, Star was looking between Daniela and something behind her and Danny seemed extremely tense.
"What pissed her off?" Marko wondered.
"Who's that dude behind them looking like a lost puppy with the blonde?" Paul asked.
David didn't speak, simply watched. He had an idea about who it was, having a glimpse from the girls' minds. Dwayne didn't say anything either as they waited for the two females to reach them.
"Oh no" Ava and Eva breathed, sharing a look and standing up straight as their best friend made it to them.
"Are you ok?" Eva asked.
"Fine, just…your cousin" she ground out, accent thick with annoyance.
"That's your cousin?" Star asked the twins, looking back at the now clear form of Michael and Sam.
Sam gave and awkward wave as Michael still just stared at Danny and Star, neither approached.
"We should go" Ava said before David wrapped his arms around her and looked down at her face.
"I thought you said you'd come to the cave with us tonight?" he asked, but it had a bit of a desperate note to it.
She bit her lip before Eva made a noise.
Michael was walking over.
"Tomorrow for sure" Eva tried.
"You two go" Ava suddenly said, making the other two girls protest as Star swallowed thickly. The guys all shared looks. "I'm not going to the cave, but can go somewhere private. To talk" she added at Paul's whistle.
"Then let's go Dove" Dwayne said, sharing a look with David.
"You guys go back to the cave, pick up some food. We'll see you later" David told them and Star got on with Marko after kissing Daniela goodnight.
"Ava-" Eva started, worried about what might happen. She felt crazy, but she didn't think they would hurt her sister. She just didn't know if they had something else planned.
Ava sent them both a look. "It's ok, I'll be fine. I promise, distract him" she motioned to the ever-approaching Michael and trailing Sam.
"Just…be careful" Danny said, equally unhappy with the situation.
David didn't give them any more time as he practically lifted Ava, placed her in front of him and took off. Dwayne followed just a minute after.
After a kiss from Eva, Marko along with Star were gone as well in the opposite direction.
"I'll take her bike home for you if you'd like" Paul offered with a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.
He was hiding something.
"Thanks" Eva said, biting her lip.
"Don't worry, he wouldn't do anything to hurt her. Neither of them would, see you later Babe" he said, kissing her before taking off as well just as Michael reached them.
Eva decided to watch Paul's bike for him in case of any Surf Nazis.
"Hey" Michael said, crossing his arms with an awkward smile.
Sam rolled his eyes at his brother.
"Who were they?" Michael asked, "And where'd they take Ava?"
"That's our significant others" Eva told them nonchalantly, making the boys balk at how dangerous their cousins' partners looked.
"Ava's finishing her date" Danny got out, trying very hard not to glare at Michael. "She wasn't interrupted, like some of us" she said and Eva rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.
"Oh shit Michael" Sam laughed at the now pale faced older boy. "You're hitting on Danny's woman" he giggled.
"You're…" the attractive, brunette Michael trailed off.
"Gay? Yeah, pretty gay" Danny filled in, folding her own arms, frown still in place. "Thought that was obvious" she added.
"No, it wasn't" he said in an almost horse whisper.
"Well, now you know" Eva stated. "But I'm sure you'll be fine Mickey" she told him, ignoring his look at the nickname. "There are plenty of pretty teens around here. You should stop by our work sometime" she offered causing Danny to start muttering angrily. "There are tons of available girls there".
"Yeah, yeah" he said, though he seemed distracted as he scratched his head. "By the way, what was her name again?" he asked Danny before noticing the fire coming out of her eyes.
"Taken!" she snapped, stomping over to a cotton candy stand.
Eva put her hands up in the universal, 'I'm not a part of this sign' when Michael looked at her trying to figure out what he did wrong.
########################################################################################################
Ava knew, really she did, that this was probably a bad idea. She had only known these men, these vampires for a few weeks. And in that amount of time, they had gone from strangers, to friends, to somewhat frenemies in David's case, to dating!
'It's insane, I'm insane, this is all proof, and yet I'm fine with it' she mentally smacked herself.
It was like all of her dreams that were on the brink of nightmares, the ones that excited her and made her excited to sleep, were coming true as she zoomed down the road clinging to David with Dwayne right behind them.
David was smiling, howling back and forth with the dark haired boy, upping her excitement even more.
She was sitting in front of him, wild blue and red curls almost blocking his view. Not that he seemed worried about that.
On impulse, she surged forward and kissed him quickly.
It took him by surprise and he tried to follow her to make the kiss last, but she didn't want him to crash. She laughed, though it was lost in the wind.
Dwayne pulled up and he reached a hand out, as did she, leaning her body against David's making him smile and bury his nose in her neck, eyes still on the dark road.
After their fingers touched, Dwayne howled to the moon filled sky making her laugh again.
She felt like her blood was made of electricity, running through her veins and lighting her up in the best of ways as the wind downed out the voices of doubts of her mind.
Soon Ava found herself yelling with them, closing her eyes as her face tilted to the sky as David gently kissed her neck before softly biting and sucking on it, being sure to leave another mark.
'Seems to be a thing with him' she thought with a thrill going through her.
She bit her bottom lip before letting it slip through her teeth, eyes still closed as her lashes created shadows on her pale cheeks.
David watched with Dwayne, both ice blue eyes and dark, almost black eyes were glued to her.
Soon they turned into a hidden path in the woods, somewhere where their bikes wouldn't be spotted, and they wouldn't be disturbed.
David parked and while she was still on his jean clad lap, she soon found her mouth connected to the soft lips of Dwayne.
She smiled into the kiss as she pondered their different kisses.
Dwayne tasted a little sweeter, almost like he had just eaten cotton candy or those dip and lick candies. She wondered if that was because he bought so many treats for Laddie.
He also tasted a bit like something spicy, something with a kick that she couldn't name, but she thought that it was something that was just Dwayne since he smelled of something similar.
It was pleasant and somehow very masculine.
He also smelled a bit like books, which she loved and there was a faint taste of cigarettes.
David on the other hand had a stronger taste of cigarettes, and although she didn't smoke, she found she didn't really mind the flavor on him.
Whether it was because it was David or because it was slightly diluted with an almost tea leaf like flavor and a surprising scent of faint lavender. It wasn't very sweet, there was a pleasant bitterness to it that seemed to soothe in a strangely smooth way.
It was like unsweetened tea, maybe with a dash of perhaps honey and some kind of alcohol. Though that was really only a guess on the drink since she never had any.
She couldn't place it since it was usually only like a whisper.
Both boys had a metallic twang that she guessed came from blood, but Dwayne, and then David when he reclaimed her lips, distracted her with their kisses.
"Come on Princess, this way" David mouthed against her lips before detaching completely and helping her off of his lap.
A small part of her mind wondered if he seemed physically chilled today because he's spent the whole night with her and they hadn't had time to eat yet.
Before she could tell her mind to shut it, Dwayne took her hand and kissed up her arm.
Ava took a deep, shuddering breath.
There was a fire, a spark starting in her belly. A spark that usually ended with her hand down her pants and her phone looking at something definitely naughty on Tumblr.
But now it was because of Dwayne and David, though it was the real them now, not just the thought. She held in a giggle, wondering what they'd think knowing that she'd pleased herself before to the thoughts of them.
They walked through the trees, the moon being the only light for her. They would each pause every now and then to steal another kiss or leave another hickey.
'There was a reason I came here and didn't leave with the girls' Ava tried to remind herself as she got swept away with the scene of youthful adventure.
'Something, besides wanting to be around them' she thought before speaking out loud. "Are you going to answer some questions?" she asked, though some of it was smothered against David's slightly chilled lips.
"Not yet Dove, we have a surprise for you" Dwayne said. That was when she noticed they had come up upon a small body of water. A little pond with a small waterfall above it.
"It's beautiful" she mumbled as she looked at the dark green and shadows mix together in the night and moonlight.
Dwayne took his jacket off along with his heavy necklace. Ava was busy watching that before she felt David's hands on her hips, slowly sliding up and under her top.
She smiled slowly, taking her own jacket off before pausing as David copied her with his large coat.
She chuckled.
"What?" David asked, brow raised.
"You wear the most clothes out of the three of us, you've already seen this much of me" she motioned to her exposed stomach. "But Dwayne's already basically naked by default" she laughed again.
"Are you complaining Dove?" Dwayne asked in his deep voice and she shook her head quickly, making his smiling grow.
"Would you rather I stay dressed?" David challenged, and she shook her head again. "Good girl" he said before both men inhaled at the rush of spice and sweetness that hinted to her spike of arousal.
'So Princess likes to be praised huh' David mentally thought, smirk in place as she tried to pretend that she wasn't getting more turned on by the minute.
'With their looks, attitudes, and that last phrase, they'll be the death of me' she thought, biting her red tinted lip again.
"You keep doing that and I'll have to punish you" David suddenly said, more muscles on display with the absence of his jacket.
He was testing a theory. Not only would it show him what he could and couldn't do with Ava, but honestly it was turning him on as well.
Dwayne was fairing no better, swallowing hard and making his Adam's apple bob enticingly as David's eyes never strayed from Ava's slightly flushed face.
"What, stare?" she asked, blinking and suddenly wishing she had a glass of water. 'Since when did my throat get so dry?' she wondered.
"Bite your lip. It's fucking sexy. It's it Dwayne?" David asked, voice getting even deeper with that smoky effect.
"Damn right it is" Dwayne all but growled, walking behind her as his hands barely skimmed up her arms making her eyes flutter.
"So, don't tease us Princess, or you may not like the results" David told her.
With that said, he reached up and pulled his black tee over his head, exposing his pale chest to her eager eyes. His dark jeans hung lowly on his narrow hips, showing off the v of his body and a light blonde happy trail.
"Uh, that's…I like" Ava was able to get out before blinking at their chuckles. "Oh, shut it" she said, tossing her shirt off, which shut them off.
It was her turn to smirk when their heated gazes were attached to her skin and deep red lace bra, eating it away with their eyes which were full of hunger and lust.
Without thinking, Ava bit her lip.
"You don't listen" David said. Suddenly, he was upon her, lips almost bruising against hers but in the best ways possible.
Dwayne wasted no time in pulling her hips back, making her moan against David's mouth as her backside came in contact with the growing bulge in his jeans.
As she built up a steady, though novice rhythm against the two with fingers digging into her hips, David moved his kisses to her chin and mouth as they grew more heated.
His hand slid up into her colored curls until he got a good handful and he pulled. She gave a gasp like mewl, though it wasn't really painful, more commanding.
"I told you, you'd be punished" he breathed into her ear before licking it making her groan.
The three attempted to move over the rocks to the pool, however, with Ava between them and in only her pants and bra, not to mention the boys state of undress, the three were understandably distracted.
Just as Dwayne's first foot touched the water, Ava reached back and pulled him tightly against her.
He grunted with a pant and instinctively flexed his hips again, which was their downfall.
Literally, they fell into the water making a large splash.
The boys sputtered as Ava started to laugh, moving so she was sitting on a rock.
David didn't want to give her a chance to actually cool off. Not when he got a taste of what was just underneath. A taste of Ava wanting him.
He was once more upon her, smothering her laughter before she gasped and sighed in his mouth as Dwayne was able to lay by her side, using his tongue to gently trace up her side.
David grumbled against her, but allowed it, never detaching their lips as he slightly scooted over, the water on their bodies slipping onto each other as they pressed closer in an attempt to keep her warmth and feel her.
Dwayne moved his kisses, sucks, and licks from her hip bone to around her ticklish belly button and then tantalizingly up and between her breasts before leaving his own bite mark on her neck.
She realized that by the end of the night, she'd most likely be painted in marks claiming her as theirs.
Something told her it was totally intentional.
She couldn't find it in herself to mind, as long as she was able to return the favor.
David moved one of his knees in between hers and pressed up into her blooming heat and showing his own growing excitement.
David lifted his hand and ran his thumb over Ava's lips as he pulled back, breathing hard.
"Do you know what you do to us Ava" he asked her breathlessly.
She tried to breath before they noticed Dwayne pause and look at David, or more like David's hand.
The blonde himself moved the appendage further up before his pupils dilated.
His hand, the one he had just used on Ava's face, was bleeding. Not excessively, but enough to be noticeable.
Dwayne looked torn between the dark liquid and Ava as David didn't even move.
Slowly, he went to pull his hand back, but a drop fell.
It was mixed with the water making it so easy, too easy to drip.
Ava's eyes widened as she tasted the coppery drop hit her taste buds as it was able to slip past the minimum gap her mouth had caused in order to try to calm her rapid breathing.
It was like an explosion of things she had never imagined.
She couldn't stop the shutter that ran through her, not noticing how both Dwayne and David were watching her.
Her eyes shot back open, she hadn't even noticed they had closed.
David went to move back, but this time Ava grabbed his hand. She looked at him, bringing his hand to her mouth and gently kissing close to the cut.
He didn't stop her and Dwayne's breathing picked up, mouth opening slightly as he found himself incredibly thirsty and wanting in ways all too familiar and yet new all at once.
David was affected as well, though only the flaring of his his nostrils gave that away.
It was the most intimate, most erotic, intense thing he had ever seen and experienced as her soft red lips moved closer to his wound.
He locked his clear eyes with her dark green. He didn't say it out loud, he didn't have to. And he wouldn't anyway, too afraid to break the spell so close to getting exactly what he desired the most, despite his protests and attitude.
That look told Ava everything.
She didn't need the bottle to turn.
She wasn't a hundred percent sure, but she wondered if the blood was mainly Max's.
If she did this, she'd mainly be connected…turned, through David himself.
Body and mind still on fire with the closeness of these two men, the only men she truly desired. The tainted blood on her tongue, the magic of the night.
Destiny, love.
It could have been one or all of these things that had her do what she did next.
Her hot, pink tongue snaked out and steadily licked up the intoxicating nectar until she reached the source.
The girl who never tasted flesh before let the blood fill her mouth and swallowed.
"God" Dwayne whispered in a shuddering breath before muttering in a language she couldn't understand. His mouth went against her temple as his eyes closed and he fought off the animal in him, the beast that was trying to transform his face as he wrapped an arm under her to protect her from the rocks and slightly lift her up.
David's eyes actually squeezed shut in ecstasy as Ava, eyes still locked on his, gave a small suckle in hopes of producing more mouthfuls.
After a few swallows, the bleeding stopped though she continued to lick. He ripped his wrist away and their tongues were once more in a battle for dominance. He once more pushed his damp body against hers.
None too gently, Dwyane grabbed and turned her face for his turn as he connected their mouths.
David growled lowly, but thinking quickly and following instinct, he reached down. Knowing that Ava couldn't see him thanks to his pack brother, he grabbed Dwayne's right wrist and bit into it with his changed teeth making the other boy growl against their girl.
More spikes of arousal in the air and not just hers, it was a heady smell now. It was everywhere, they could tell she was ripe for the taking.
Dwyane pulled his hand back from David and offered it to Ava, who was starting to feel the effects.
She licked and sucked eagerly, making Dwayne moan as David ran his hands through his blonde hair to push it back, sitting up straight, still straddling Ava as he watched the two with heavy eyes.
Ava felt hot, almost too hot. And dizzy. Was the forest spinning, she couldn't tell? Everything was so foggy, and she didn't think it was just her hormones anymore.
"That's enough Dove" Dwayne told her, hushing her when she whimpered.
"It's ok Princess, you did so well. We're so proud of you" David said, and she squirmed under him, eyes unfocused and darker than usual.
"Oh Dove, do you know what you did?" Dwayne wondered out loud.
"I wanted to" came the soft reply from Ava. She looked to be about to say more, reaching for them both, before her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Dwayne caught her head and helped lift her gently into David's strong arms.
"Come on Princess" David told his unconscious mate. "We'll get you home" he promised as Dwayne collected their clothes.
"You known what she's done" Dwyane said, sounding both excited yet worried.
"Yes, and yes I know she may be upset tomorrow. But you heard her, she wanted to. I wasn't planning on making her" David admitted. He had wanted to, but after seeing her so happy with them. That spark in her eyes and everything, he just couldn't do it.
Yet, it had happened anyway.
'Though she's full of mine and Dwayne's blood' he thought with a shiver of pleasure from the reminder.
Dwayne looked at him for a hard minute before giving a barely there nod and they flew back to the bikes.
"This means Paul and Marko will have to get Eva to drink soon, Daniela as well" Dwayne said. He thought Eva may be easier than Danny, not sure how to go about getting the Spanish teen to join in.
"We'll deal with that tomorrow. Paul and Marko can handle Eva, that's their business" David said. He was tired as it was close to sunrise, a little bummed that they had to give Ava back so soon, all in all, it was just a really long night.
Dwayne couldn't agree more.
"They'll be even more pressed for answers now" Dwayne said quietly as they made it to the bikes.
David snorted, he already knew this.
"How do you think they'll react when they find out we know already?" Dwayne continued when he felt like David was brushing him off and the blonde froze.
He hadn't thought too much on that part.
"Who says they will" he challenged, but Dwayne simply raised a brow making him roll his eyes. "Like I said, tomorrow" he grumbled.
The three made it to the girls' camper, they could hear Danny and Eva speaking in the main area, so they snuck Ava in through her small window.
"Goodnight Dove" Dwyane said, kissing her head after they got her out of her clothes and into a comfortable t-shirt. Luckily, due to the drive and short flight so no one would hear their bikes, their clothes had dried, including her panties and bra. So, despite how much they'd like to, they respected her privacy and left her undergarments on.
Though they both vowed to see all their precious mate had to offer on her pale body one day.
"Night Princess" David said as Dwayne flew out. David paused, looking back at her with a half grin.
"You surprised the hell outta me there, you know that?" he asked, only getting a slurred reply making his smile grow briefly.
"Can't say you disappoint Beautiful" he whispered gentle, and with that, he was gone.
########################################################################################################
Grudella drunkenly laughed to herself in her trailer. She still had visions of the girls, some more detailed than she would like.
She was happy with how most things were progressing.
Especially with the tallest vampire, Paul. She hadn't expected it, but it seemed he would be the very first to actually grasp the full concept and complexity of soul mates. He was almost tied with the big Native American man, who was also on the right track.
The other two were a little behind, but surprised her by catching up fairly quickly.
"Even the asshole with the mullet" she hiccupped.
She was taking bets out against herself.
Wine tended to do that.
Oh, there would always be tasks to over come. That was just part of life, even undead life. But now, drunk Grudella decided to do sober Grudella and the whole group a favor and provide a little extra jolt of fun.
She giggled to herself as she threw some things in a cauldron, not even upset when she got thrown back by the boom.
"Oh, that's going to be great" she laughed hysterically on her kitchen floor. "Have fun kids!"
########################################################################################################
"Hey, you guys want to go with us to the beach?" came the loud voice of Sam as he banged on the girls' trailer door.
This roused Eva and Danny, who had fallen asleep on the couch.
"What?" Danny asked, wiping away drool as Eva tried to stand.
"Do you want to go to the beach" Sam asked, speaking slower.
Just as they were about to answer, they heard a noise from Ava's room, which they rushed too.
"Guys?" Sam called.
They had been worried about her all night when she didn't turn up.
They slammed the door open, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
"Well, someone slept here" Danny said, wide eyes looking to see if her friend fell of the bed or something.
"Oh, my Gods" Eva said, mouth dropped open as she fell on her butt.
"What, what?!" Danny asked when Eva didn't answer. She saw that the blue-eyed girl was looking up and turned.
"Shit!" she screamed.
"Guys!" Sam called, sounding a bit panicked.
"We're fine, we can't go. Sorry Sam" Eva called out.
They heard him mutter something about crazy girls before walking off. Still, they couldn't take their eyes off of the ceiling.
There, a sweaty mess, was Ava. She was still asleep and was shaking, a lot.
Her whole back was against the roof as her legs were brought up to her stomach and she was crying softly in distress.
It didn't seem to be a peaceful slumber.
"Any guesses what they did last night" Danny asked rhetorically.
"Oh Ava" Eva breathed as the two girls looked at her in worry and fear as her whimpering became more distressed.
"What are we gonna do?" Danny asked. "What can we do?" she continued.
"We'll get her some of the meat from the house. Maybe the blood in the steak will help her" Eva said, finally standing and reaching out to her sister. "Shit" she cussed, when she touched her, it was like she was scolding.
"That won't last for long" Danny told her, running a hand through her own messy curls.
"We don't need it to" Eva said determinately. "Just till tonight. We will be getting answers and fixing this" she said, looking at her best friend then back at her sister. Standing on the bed so she could reach her easier, Eva pushed some blue and red curls off of Ava's sweaty forehead.
It was like she was about to start steaming she was so hot.
"They better answer us this time. We can't wait for them to step up" Danny said, silently vowing to no longer become distracted. "I know- I think they were going to last night" she said and Eva nodded. "So, we need to find out what happened last night, what's going on, and what we're going to do" Danny clarified. "And they better answer!" she repeated with more firmness.
They couldn't put it off anymore, for Ava's sake.
Eva was stone faced as she looked at her crying twin. "They don't have a choice".
A/N: So, what do you guys think? Lime in next chapter! Yay for that. Also, some answers and surprises from Grudella and others. Obviously more drama and one on one (two?) with the couples.. I mean, there's a lime (multiple limes actually), so somebody's doing something right. The story continues. What do you think the boys will do? What will Star do? What about Eva and Danny? Or even Max? I will be fixing grammar and spelling in next few days, but I had to post this and get it up. Also, I know how I kept saying, 'We're gonna get answers', I was trying to do a build up and now they have a better reason. Plus, the boys and Star and feeling things they haven't, or haven't wanted to feel for a long time. I'll let you in on a secret, they're nervous, so answers got moved to next chapter. And yes, I'll explain why Ava drank the blood so willingly. (I haven't slept in days, can you tell?) Plus, if decided to keep over thinking and retyping, I would have gone crazy(er). Review, ask, or suggest. Until next time, have a great day.
