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, I know I said Marko's backstory would be in this one, but it just wasn't flowing with the feel of this chapter. I'm sorry. I do have his story planned out, it just didn't fit right at the moment. Next chapter will be magnificent Marko's time to shine. Song in this one is Seashore by the Regrettes. See end AN about why chapter ended up as it did and what to expect from next chapter, hope you like it. Enjoy.
Chapter 15: Not Exactly House Broken.
Max felt a tightening of his nerves. Whether it was his chest, or his stomach about to drop out of his ass in the most embarrassing way, he didn't know.
Luckily, for him, the boys made their presence known before Max had a chance to attempt to do anything against the twins and Danny. Neither group thought he had a chance, but the boys weren't going to risk it.
"Well, well, well" David said as his voice dripped like acid. Max turned sharply. "How cozy. Look boys, our maker is trying to get more acquainted with our ladies and Daniela. Doesn't it just warm your heart" he asked with obvious contempt.
Max squared his shoulders but as his own murky blue eyes clashed with the electric eyes blue of David's, he couldn't deny the chill of fear that surged through his veins.
He fought those feelings off but was only able to hide them…barely.
"Cozy…annoying, take your pick" Marko said with a careless shrug as they each strutted over to the girls and went behind the appropriate female.
"I vote annoying" Paul supplied helpfully as he swung an arm over Eva's shoulder.
"Amen" Dwayne said lowly, eyes narrowed as he crossed his arms while David placed a hand on Ava's back.
"Why was I not told of this" Max spat out as his eyes were alight with fear and fury.
"I'm sorry" Ava said in mock sympathy. "You'll have to be more specific. I'm afraid there is quite a lot you've been kept in the dark about. For instance, I'm sure you're not talking about our sex lives" she ended in a mock question.
Both twins' smirks grew as Max's left eye seemed to twitch.
"Why" he asked in a controlled yet strained voice. "Was I not told that you had drank" he questioned.
"I drink a lot of things, why do you have to know" Eva asked him confused. "What are you, the liquid police?" she asked.
"Why didn't you tell me you drank blood" he all but exploded.
"Oh" Eva and Ava said as if it just became apparent to them.
"Why didn't you just say that" Daniela asked as she crossed her arms. "You're a bit infuriating, just assuming people will know what you mean" she shook her head.
"As for when" Ava cut in before he could reply. "That's none of your business" she told him easily.
"NONE OF MY-" the older man raged. His face was turning red and veins in his neck were more pronounced.
"Business, that's what she said" Eva finished for him. "No need to parrot, we were here" she told him.
"Now" Ava said with an exaggerated throat clearing. "I believe we must get going" she told them with her nose in the air.
The other girls followed suit as the boys seemed keen to just watch the show in amusement as they offered silent support and extra muscle.
"Yeah" Danny nodded. "Some of us actually have jobs around here" she added.
Max sputtered at that jab but before he could gather more steam Eva cut him off once more. "If you're done harassing a bunch of teens, we'll be on our way" she told him.
"You don't know how hard I can make life for you" Max finally spat halting their exit.
The boys all tensed but the girls lifted a brow each in a frightening simultaneous manner.
"I believe Max" Ava said, sneering his name. "That you'll find that that's our line now" she told him before her twin picked up easily for her.
"You're not top dog around here anymore. In fact, you haven't been for a very long time…you should get used to it, it's going to stay that way" she told him.
"And trust us, what you've seen so far" Danny told him with a hint of warning. "Was only a taste, a joke if you will" she told him with a wink. "If you want something more I'd be more than happy to supply".
"I've been around longer" Max threatened.
"So you're slower" Danny shot back.
"And your ideas are a little stale" Ava put in.
"Dusty" Eva added.
"You could even say they're practically dead" the twins finished together with grins. The grins said they were being little shits and they knew it.
"Ta-ta" they said, waving their fingers goodbye. Danny also waved her dainty fingers while the boys led them all out.
Max twitched in their direction and the boys' heads all snapped to look at him and he once more froze.
The girls snickered.
"You should say goodbye to our aunt" Ava put in. "While you have the chance" she added as they entered the building.
Her tone made Max blanch.
'Bitch!' he mentally hissed as he growled, face changed.
Max was incensed over these halflings, he wasn't sure about if Daniela had drunk or not, and his pack usurping his power.
For now he would go home and lick his wounds.
'Soon though' he thought. 'I'll show them exactly why they shouldn't fuck with me!' he mentally swore.
Max had no way of knowing that fate and magic had a funny sense of humor, and he was the butt of the joke.
#######################################################################################################
Michael was on a mission.
He was looking for Ava and Eva. Now was the moment to do it, when he knew they would be alone.
The twins had asked Lucy if she wouldn't mind watching Laddie for a little and she jumped at the chance.
She seemed to find him especially cute.
Max had disappeared somewhere last night without even a goodbye. "How rude, he just left!" his mother had said before the girls had explained the lack of manners in some men, much to Lucy's amusement since Paul had offered up his own help.
Danny and Star were on a date, much to Michael's chagrin. The Lost Boys, well he wasn't sure where they were. The twins just said they had 'stuff' to do before they kissed their boyfriends who drove off like madmen.
'I really need to start looking into getting a new bike' he thought remembering the looks the guys had gotten.
Sam was still with his friends at the store, so he knew his cousins would be free and he knew exactly where they were.
It seemed Ava and Eva had gotten into the habit of trying to win a stuffed bat from the toss bottle ring carnival game.
No matter how many times they lost.
"Son of a donkey whore!" he heard followed by children giggling and he knew he was in the right place.
There was Ava and Eva, surrounded by a crowd of various youngsters as they attempted the game over and over.
"Bitch troll!" Eva cussed when she missed yet again. It seemed the first one had been from Ava.
Again, the crowd tittered.
The man working it just shook his head in amusement and went back to his newspaper. Michael didn't know if he gave up charging them or if his cousins paid in advance.
Either way, the man looked highly unconcerned about collecting any money as the twins simply reached over for unlimited rings to toss.
"Ava, Eva" he called just as they went to throw, making both miss by a much wider toss.
The crowed awed vocally at Michael's interruption.
"Mother fucking-" Ava went to say before Eva elbowed her and they both turned.
He saw his cousins had opted for dresses this evening. Two matching summer dresses of dark red each the flared out and ended above their knees. It had a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps.
They had simple makeup on consisting of some basic purposely smeared liner, mascara. With a comb through the thick brows and some light peach blush and matching lip tint to top the looks off.
Their hair was in loose low buns.
"Mickey" both girls greeted him. "Bit busy, what do you need?" they asked and his head was already hurting from the two tones.
"I need to talk to you" he told them and only receiving blank looks. "Privately please" he finished.
The twins shrugged and put the rest of the rings down.
"Later Mac" they called to the guy with the paper and long red pony tail.
"See you later" he told them with certainty, not even looking up.
The crowd dispersed, though some did try their own hand at the game.
Michael led the twins off, all the way to the end of the pier and overlooking the ocean. Ava didn't look too sure of that, but Eva simply looped their arms together and she relaxed.
"So, what's been going on Michael" Ava asked.
"Yeah" Eva picked up. "You've seemed kinda out of sorts lately" she told him.
"What's been on your mind?" they asked.
"Not to sound like an ass" he told them as one hand went to his forehead. "But can you two please pick one mouth to talk out of. I'm really getting a headache" he told them.
He got two scoff like laughs in reply though they were followed by the twins grinning wildly.
"Ok, what did you need to talk about" Ava asked him and he sighed, running a hand through his curly hair as the other rested on his hip.
"Something's been happening to me and I think you know what" he told them and both girls tensed before they could stop themselves.
Michael noticed and nodded, seeing that he got the reaction he was apparently looking for. They quickly shared a look.
"And I think, no, I know it's happening to you too" he added.
"Oh?" Eva asked with raised brows. "What's been happening to you and why do you think it's been happening to us" she asked almost too casually.
They didn't spend any real time with Michael so they were hoping to play his turning into a vampire off until Daniela could think of something to halt it. At least until they came up with a better plan.
"I didn't know at first" he told them almost stumbling over his words. Then he blushed, making their eyes narrow as he was suddenly unable to meet their eyes. "And then I sort of, not a lot, uh" he babbled. "Watched you, followed you" he told them.
"What!?" both girls yelled.
"I just wanted answers" Michael yelled back as he glared at them. "And then Sam's friends are always whispering things to each other and trying to leave their comics around" he said gesturing wildly.
Ava and Eva fought hard not to react to that last bit.
"Ah yes, the comics" Eva said shaking her head. "They are a good laugh aren't they" she chuckled. "Not even us hard core horror buffs would want those comics" she told him.
Ava really had to refrain from smiling at that. Just the way her sister emphasized certain words, making it sound like he'd be ridiculous, foolish if he put any stock in the comics.
'Devious mind' she thought amusedly.
She saw the flash of uncertainty on the boy's face, but he spoke anyway.
"I think I know what they've done to us" Michael told them. "I think I know how they did it to me, but I'm not sure if they got to you the same way" he kept on. "So, I followed you and your friends when you walked around the board walk" he admitted to them. He looked a tad frantic.
"Alright Michael" Ava sighed exasperated. Really, they were both wondering how the hell they missed Michael pulling a stalker routine. "Why don't you tell us what you think is wrong" she said in an air she hoped was properly off putting.
His face tightened as he glared at her.
"Will you listen!" he demanded. "They've turned us into something-something demonic. Something evil" he said and the girls looked at him. He went on though his tone softened in fear.
He saw that he had their attention.
"Something dark, and unnatural" he said remembering the hunger that gnawed at him.
The twins shared a horrified look and Michael nodded, somewhat pleased that they were now on the same page as him.
"I think I know what you're talking about" Ava said as she looked away, swallowing.
"Yes, it's something that we're afraid of too" Eva confided.
"Say it, out loud" Michael demanded lowly.
"Mimes" they said together completely serious.
"Yes a vam-, what?! No!" Michael shouted before throwing his hands up. "What is it with you two and mimes?" he asked them.
The twins narrowed their eyes and looked up at the sky, each raised a fist and shook them gently.
"They know what they've done" they said dangerously.
They saw the unamused look on Michael's face and smiled innocently as their faces cleared of the dark looked it had just a moment ago.
"Look, we get that something is going on with you Mike" Ava said as Eva nodded. "Maybe we can get Danny to make something for you. She's really good at alternative medicine. She helps us all the time with stuff, so I'm sure she could help you" she told him honestly as they smiled brightly at him.
They did feel bad for Michael, having to go through this alone when they knew what was going on.
Though they sort of felt like he brought it on himself. However, they still hoped Danny would be able to make something to help him and Star.
The twins didn't want to just leave Michael to fend for himself. They did care for him, even if it was more over the fact that he was supposed to be family and a kid who got in over his head.
This answer didn't seem to appease Michael at all.
"You know" Michael said in obvious agitation. "I-." he took a deep breath. "I am trying to be serious with you two" he told them. "And you both are just goofing off like usual" he ranted. "Sometimes I wish you two didn't act so dumb!" he snapped.
Both girls' brows went up and then Michael froze up as if realizing what he just said.
He turned to look at his cousins just as both blue and green eyes narrowed at him in a very unfriendly way. A way that spelt out 'danger' and dark times ahead for the recipient.
Which at the moment was Michael.
He gulped.
Feeling a spark inside of them suddenly shoot out, snapping like a small rubber band that broke, something very unexpected began.
Noises around them began to make a very obvious connected beat. Random performing artists, venders, even the rides, everything seemed to start moving in a way that orchestrated the beginning of a song.
A song that the twins knew.
As Michael looked behind them in curiosity along with everyone else, even the people participating and unable to stop, the twins began to sing. Both together and not missing a beat which snapped attention back to them.
"You're talking to me like a child" they sang, making Michael's eyes all but pop out of his head.
He couldn't believe they were just singing out in public, like it was normal.
"Hey I've got news, I'm not a little girl. And no I won't give you a little twirl" they continued.
What was more, the more they sang, Eva began to dance as Ava simply swayed, arms going up and down slightly, seductively, people actually seemed to be getting into the performance.
Michael couldn't believe it but it was like he was glued to the spot, unable to attempt to stop them.
"You're talkin' to me like I'm sad. Hey I've got news, I'm not doin' too bad.
Even though sometimes I might get real mad. You're talkin' to me like a child. But my words are growin' stronger. And my legs keep gettin' longer. I'm like nobody else, so you can just go fuck yourself!
I do a lot of stupid stuff but don't act like you're so tough!"
People cheered, others actually began to join in with the dancing and singing backup. No one seemed to question how they knew the words or movements that Eva was going to do.
Ava's movements were pretty predictable, so really no one questioned those.
The people purposely playing instruments got even more into it.
The twins looked at Michael with narrowed eyes and noses in the air.
"You're talkin' to me like I'm dumb" they sang and he blushed heavily.
"Well I've got news, I've got a lot to say. There's nothing you can do to take that away.
You're talkin' to me like I'm hurt. Well at least I'm not six feet in the dirt. And I'll still kick your ass even in my skirt." At that line, both girls swirled around each other and a very embarrassed, but entranced Michael while making their dresses flare up and show more of their legs, getting cat calls and whistles in response.
Both teens began to jump and sit on machines and passing venders, who smiled and gave them short rides as they sang. Even spinning them around at some points.
"You're talkin' to me like a child. But I'm not a helpless baby. Not waitin' on you to come save me. I'm like nobody else, so you can just go fuck yourself!
I do a lot of stupid stuff but don't act like you're so tough!
Fight fire with fire and you'll get burned.
Hey I think right about now is your turn.
Earplugs won't save you anymore.
They'll leave you washed up on the seashore."
Ava stayed in middle, on top of the cotton candy machine, legs crossed as Eva led everyone in a very complicated dance and gymnastic routine that was beautiful and even impressed Ava in how put together it was in the moment.
The music picked up as two guitarists came to stand on either side of Ava before she fed both of the older women some of the sticky candy and gave them winks before jumping off the machine and joining her sister once more.
"You're talkin' to me like a bitch" they sang looking at Michael, hands on their hips as he fidgeted and looked at the alive boardwalk.
He tried to look anywhere but the intense pair eyes that seemed to radiate blue and green against the night, both which were locked on him.
"Do you ever hear the way that you speak? Don't have to be so mean just 'cause you're weak.
I'm like nobody else, so you can just go fuck yourself!
I do a lot of stupid stuff but don't act like you're so tough!
Fight fire with fire and you'll get burned.
Hey I think right about now is your turn.
Earplugs won't save you anymore.
They'll leave you washed up on the seashore".
The music abruptly ended and everyone else went back to what they were doing, not even looking over at the twins and Michael.
He was looking around wildly as if the answer would reveal itself.
As he turned back to face the twins, he noticed them walking away with their arms linked.
"Wait, I wasn't-" he went to call out but was cut off by the twins once more speaking together.
"Fuck you Mickey" they calmly shouted, not looking back as they each raised the opposite hand and flipped him the bird before disappearing in the crowd.
Michael ran after them, but it was like they had disappeared into the air. He even went up to a building that had a bench so he could stand on it and look over the crowd.
Nothing.
"Shit" he cussed, smacking his head on the hard building behind him.
#######################################################################################################
"Well, that was fun" Eva said as they watched Michael rub the back of his head in apparent soreness.
"I'd say" Ava agreed. "Though…what was with the impromptu song?" she asked.
"I'm not sure" Eva admitted. "Just felt a weird thingy in my chest and boom! I was singing" she told her sister.
"Me too" Ava told her. "Though I do hope we find a better description than thingy" she chuckled and Eva stuck out her tongue and responded.
"If you have any, I'm all ears" she responded in a snooty tone.
"Power, surge of energy, unexplained radiance of-" Ava was cut off as her sister pushed her head gently before attempting to detangle her fingers from her curls.
"I get it, I get it. You know words. You're edumacated. Butt-lug" she teased making Ava laugh harder.
Suddenly, her laughter was cut off as a very large white blur smacked right into her knocking her onto her ass.
On the plus side, it was the placement of the white blur that kept her skirt at a decent level from the fall.
"Ava!" Eva yelled as she went to help her sister by jumping down about to pull the thing off before she noticed two things.
One, it was a big dog that wasn't actually attacking her sister. Instead it was licking her sister's face like its' life depended on it.
And two, Ava was laughing hysterically.
"It tickles" Ava called out, trying to push the dog off.
"What- where?" Eva went to say before her face went slack and she said, "Oh my Gods!" in disbelief.
"What?" Ava asked, finally freeing herself as the dog moved its licks to her hands as she was able to stand up, petting it. It rolled over, begging for belly rubs.
"Don't you recognize him?" Eva asked, looking wide eyed at Ava.
"No, should I recognize this handsome wittle man" Ava asked as she began baby talking the white dog that's tongue lolled out of his mouth happily.
"Oh, such a handsome, smart boy aren't you" she asked as she scratched his stomach making his tail wag against the boards with thumps.
"It's Thorn" Eva told her, ignoring the new pitches to her sister's voice. "Max's hellhound" she said and Ava looked up sharply.
At the lack of scratches, Thorn popped back up and began whining pathetically for attention. The girls looked at him and now it was the twins turn to be struck dumb as the hellhound tried his hand at puppy dog eyes.
Of course, his attempt had those big adorable brown eyes turning a deep crimson red as he tilted his head with a soft whimper that had three distinct tones to it.
"Aw" the twins couldn't help but coo. "You are so cute" Ava squealed, hugging him.
"Too cute" Eva agreed as she latched onto his other side.
They pulled back and looked at each other in confusion. "But how did you get here?" they asked looking at the dog again.
"Did Max send you?" Eva asked before Thorn shook his big doggy head, presumably in the negative.
They would have been surprised, but not much about this world surprised them anymore. Why should the hellhound being able to understand them make a difference?
"Would you like us to take you back to him?" Ava asked and Thorn shook even more. This time he went as far as to begin as to wipe his rear on the pier.
Eva snorted as Ava held her middle, laughing heartily. "Ok, we get it" Eva replied as her eye roll couldn't disguise the mirth in her voice.
Thorn looked distinctly pleased with himself.
"Well, he'll definitely miss you" Eva started.
"How could he not" Ava commented in baby talk again. She was crouched down to scratch his ears making him adapt a dopey adorable look.
"And he'd be most likely very pissy when he sees who you're with" Eva went on as if she wasn't interrupted. She sounded both worried and pleased with the idea of that.
"That may put us in some more danger" Ava said. "As fun as rallying Max is, he's still got a better hand on this whole vampire thing than us" she commented.
They loved pushing his buttons and if it came down to it they'd fight the man, but they didn't have any actual illusions about who was stronger at the moment if it was a one on one fight. The girls believed if they stuck together they had a little more of an edge.
"He does have a few good years on us" Eva supplied.
Thorn growled, turning his head in the direction of Max's shop as his back heckled and his fur bunched.
The girls watched him as they tried to understand his actions.
"Um, are you saying…you'd protect us from Max?" Ava asked with no small amount of hope.
Thorn turned back around and put his front paws on Ava's stomach. A long swipe of his tongue to her cheek was answer enough.
"I'm in" Ava said easily.
"You're just happy you finally have a dog" Eva said with her hands back on her hips.
"Precious, gorgeous baby boy" Ava went on, no longer listening to Eva who huffed.
"Fine" Eva said making Thorn jump happily.
"He's dancing, oh my Gods he's so talented" Ava praised.
"Anyway" Eva pressed on. "If we're going to keep him, and that is a big if" she went on as now she was aimed by two doses of puppy dog eyes. Ava and Thorn had them on full blast. "Max will be after us even more than before. We really need to figure out a solid plan, something more than just prank him into madness, despite how well that's been working" she finished when she saw Ava opening her mouth as she had already guessed what her twin had intended to say.
"Ok, then we'll talk to the boys and Danny. Really talk and make a legit plan. Something everyone is happy with" Ava said as she stood, hand still on Thorn's head.
"But" she continued, "If Thorn is unhappy with Max and sought us out, who are we to deny him? He's not an ordinary pooch, is he?" she asked.
Thorn made a noise of agreement.
Eva looked at them both for a good moment. "…I'm assuming you're house broken" she asked, not even feeling a little ridiculous aiming the question at the dog.
It did help that the dog gave as close to a dog gasp as he could in apparent offence to said previous question.
"My apologies" she deadpanned.
"Great, now that that's settled, let's go get the boys" Ava clapped happily. "We also need to pick up things for Thorn. He can watch Laddie in the cave!" she said happily and he jumped at the idea. "And the boys need to shower. Love them to death, but the baths only go so far" Ava began to mutter.
Eva smacked her own forehead as she followed the plotting pair.
'I hope Danny and Star are at least having fun on their date' she thought with a groan as she trotted after her, in Eva's opinion, crazier twin and the hellhound.
#######################################################################################################
Daniela was having a very good date. Scratch that, she was having a fantastic date.
Star never felt so appreciated.
Daniela had shown up in some attractive dark suit pants and lose button up shirt with dark dress shoes.
Her hair in a bun and nice, formal makeup made Star feel butterflies in her stomach as she looked at the short, pretty girl.
Star herself was in a lovely assemble. Her favorite in fact. A stitched top with her arms showing and a long, flowing pink and lavender peasant skirt with matching slip ons with little gold and silver bells on them.
In her hair on the side, she had a thick silver clip that pushed half of her curls up and out of the way and gave them even more volume.
Her makeup was a mixture of pinks and browns, making her almost glow.
"You look like a goddess" Daniela had said making Star blush.
"You look beautiful" Star almost whispered shyly. "So sleek and high class" she told her, almost wringing her hands.
As Daniela smiled she realized she had said the right thing and her shoulders relaxed.
They had gone to dinner, to a little pleasant Italian place. Star was again bashful before Daniela spoke. "It's still just me" she reminded her. "We just get to be together, finally completely alone" she teased.
Star calmed down fully and chuckled.
"I'm sorry, I'm so used to having to look for someone else. Watch out for or take care of someone. One of the boys or Laddie" she told her before reaching over and taking one of Daniela's hands in hers.
"I like this though, really" she told her and Danny winked.
"These are just the appetizers" she joked as some breadsticks came their way. "There's more where this came from" she told her, lifting Star's hand and gently laying a kiss to it.
Star beamed at her before ducking her head as the waitress took their order.
After dinner, which was spent of them sharing quiet conversation about shared music interests and art, Daniela took Star to any of the venders she had noticed had caught her girlfriend's eye.
Star didn't just buy to her heart's content, that wasn't in her nature. However, when Danny saw an especially longing look on her face, she would get the item for her.
No matter how Star tried to mask her face or how much she protested.
"I want to treat you. It feels so…fulfilling watching your face light up. Like when I got you the snow globe and the barrettes. I love it" Daniela told her.
"But I have nothing to give to you" Star told her feeling bad.
"You give me plenty by being here with me, and yes I know" she said, taking Star's hand and cutting her off with a brief peck to the lips.
"I know you like just being with me. But please, I like spending my money on you. I make it, and Adam has always been kind and insisted on giving it to me. I never understood until now" she told her.
"Alright" Star relented before her face lit up. "But, I want to take you to my favorite spot!" she told her excitedly.
"Alright" Daniela nodded as a smile stretched her face.
"Great, come on. You can't tell the others" she told her in her airy voice. "Not even Laddie. It's a secret" she told her as she led her through the crowd.
Daniela was amazed with how Star moved. It was like her feet almost didn't touch the ground.
They made it to the side of the Tilta-Whirl ride and Star began to climb under, in a small hidden little hole.
"Wha-? This can't be safe" Danny said before shrugging. "Never let it be said I refuse following a lady into her secret hole" she said going in after Star.
After a little uncomfortable crawling, the space surprisingly opened up. Daniela was really surprised that nothing was moving around frighteningly, and she wasn't fearing for her life.
There were a few torn blankets around, nothing fancy.
"Here" Star said as she laid on her back and looked up.
Following her lead, Danny laid back as well and her eyes widened in amazement.
All over the mechanical walls and ceiling were glow in the dark stickers of stars and planets of different sizes.
"You made a planetarium" Daniela said in wonder.
"It's just where I like to go, if I ever have a moment alone. Usually when Dwayne has Laddie" Star told her.
"It's brilliant" Danny breathed, looking at Star.
Star blushed, biting her lip.
"It's nothing, really. It's not like they move or anything" she chuckled.
"Would you like them too?" Danny asked after a moment and Star's eyes snapped back to hers.
"What?" she asked.
Danny smirked with a small brow wave. Deciding to have some fun, Danny cheekily wiggling her nose and in the next instant a small golden spark shot off of the tip of her dark tanned skin to the ceiling and landed on one of the stars…making it zoom off and touch a planet.
So on and so on until everything was moving beautifully.
"It's glorious" Star breathed. "Thank you" she told Danny.
"Eh, I had a good bit to work with" Danny waved her off before turning her head to look at Star as she gently took the other girl's hand. "Though I've got to say" she told her girlfriend making Star tear her eyes away from the magical display to the beautiful teen next to her.
Cinnamon gaze locked with umber brown. Both looking truly alive and decisively dreamy.
"My favorite Star is…right here" Daniela said as she moved in close to connect her mouth with Star's.
Just before their lips touched, Star mumbled, "Smooth" shocking her girlfriend. Star giggled, which Daniela promptly smother with her own lips as she all but tackled the other girl.
Not that Star was complaining.
The rest of their night was spent under the stars though their main attention was on each other and stolen kisses.
#######################################################################################################
Later that night, the whole gang was back together.
Ava was carrying Laddie into the cave, followed by Eva as she told the little boy that they had a big surprise for him.
This of course surprised and excited the bundle of vampiric cuteness to no end.
Daniela and Star all but floated in, going to sit on Star's bed and smiling out at everyone else as the boys loudly made their entrance not a moment after.
"Hey-hey-HEY!" Marko's tone went from a playful greeting to an angry exclamation to an almost feminine shriek of despair. "Who took a duce on my paint brush!" he screamed from further in the cave where he had flown off once he had spotted trouble.
The twins, who were now by Dwayne's bookcases, froze and looked at each other as Laddie squealed and jumped down from Ava's arms noticing the surprise.
"Dude" Paul asked blinking owlishly. "Am I just really high or is that Thorn and is he fucking laughing?" he asked pointing at the large white dog who was in fact doggy snickering.
Laddie was busy hugging the life out of the canine, who loved the attention. Danny watched in growing amusement as Star let out a very uncharacteristic snort before blushing and hiding her face.
Marko was still bemoaning the loss of one of his paint brushes in his corner. Paul seemed to be trying to work out if what he was seeing was real or not since no one had offered up an actual answer for him.
David and Dwayne slowly shot incredulous expressions towards Ava and Eva. Neither girl had ever seen either boy look so stunned or disgusted before, though this time the expressions were actually due to Thorn's...gift to Marko.
Eva looked at Ava and asked her through clenched teeth, "I thought he was house broken" she all but demanded.
"Er, opps" was all Ava supplied with an apologetic smile and shrug.
Eva banged her forehead on the couch.
A/N: What do you guys think? Also, don't worry, the twins will make it up to Marko and his poor paintbrush. It's a little fun chapter. I know lately the moods been more serious but for some reason this was how this chapter wanted to go, and you just have to follow your muse. Don't worry. Next chapter will have plenty of drama, angsty, broody Michael, seriousness and so on. Also, the story line will be moving forward with Michael being that annoying cousin trying hard to hang out all the time. Marko's backstory will be coming up in the next one. It's gonna be bloody. Let's not forget the Frogs and maybe, a surprise hunter? I got plans people, it's all about how it wants to unfold. Bear with me, we'll have fun. Review, suggest, or ask if you'd like. Until next time, have a great day.
