Disclaimer: I do not own the Lost Boys, just my OC, Jenna.
Jenna headed towards boys who were causally looking at the books as if they could care less about them. The only one who seems to be interested was Dwayne. As she was coming closer towards them, she began to wonder why she so quickly trusted them. Yes, they did save her life, but they could have an alternative motive of doing so. She brushed it off and thought to think about it later on.
"Hey," she said bumping into Marko's shoulder.
"Hey," he said bumping hers back. David glanced at her direction and stared at her. She was too busy paying attention to Marko to noticed David's stare.
"What book are you looking at?" Jenna asked Marko. He handed her the book he was holding. It was Alice Adventures in Wonderland. She arched her brow up at him. He merely shrugged his shoulders.
"It looked interesting," he said trying to shove it off. She smiled at him.
"Well it is a really good book," she said handing it back to him.
"You read it?" shocked covered his face.
"I do work in a book shop," she said.
"So that doesn't mean you read every book," he said.
"Pretty close," she smirked. He laughed at her remark.
"Come on," David said motioning at the door. Jenna glanced back at Charlie to let him know that she's leaving. He saw her and nodded, letting her know that he understands. She followed David's lead towards the carousel.
"You guys like the carousel?" she asked.
"Hell yeah babe, you meet some crazy people on there," Paul said swinging his arm onto her shoulders.
"Really?" she asked.
"No babe, we like to mess with people," Paul said. She smiled up at him.
"Won't you get in trouble?" she asked as Paul helped her on.
"Why you scared?" Marko asked coming up behind her.
"No," she said glancing over her shoulder at him, "Just want to be prepared."
Paul laughed, "Whatever you say babe," he said turning around to follow Dwayne who was following David. She shoved his shoulder. Going around and around was actually nice, a bit dizzy for Jenna, but she enjoyed it. She liked watching the colors swirl around her, however walking on a moving carousal was a bit difficult for Jenna at some points. Marko helped her keep her balance every time she tipped to one side. He ended up just keeping his hands firmly on her waist to keep her balanced. Jenna was surprised with herself that she quite enjoyed the feel of Marko's hand on her. A smile was creeping onto her face.
Jenna glanced up in time to see David stroking a woman's cheek, who happened to be a girlfriend to a Surf Nazi. The boyfriend was not to happy and shoved David. Marko immediately put Jenna behind him to keep her out of harm's way. Just as the fight was about to get good, a cop placed a baton around David's throat.
"I told you to stay off the boardwalk," the cop said. Marko reached around and grabbed Jenna bringing her in front of him. Jenna could feel the tension in the air. One of the Surf Nazi gave her a dirty look. She leaned back into Marko trying to draw comfort. He noticed her discomfort and placed his arms around her middle and gave a reassuring squeeze.
"Okay boys, let's go," David said. The cop let David go. Marko smirked at the Surf Nazi before guiding Jenna towards the edge. He went down first then turned around and helped Jenna down.
"You guys always mess with the Surf Nazi?" she asked once her feet were on solid ground.
"Yes," Marko said.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because it's fun," he said. Jenna shook her head at him. He smiled at her and put an arm around her shoulders.
"How are you feeling? You still sore?" Marko asked following the boys.
"Just a little sore, but nothing I can't handle," she said.
"Good," he said. They continued to follow David's lead in silence. Jenna looked at her surroundings and noticed that the boardwalk was actually quite beautiful at night. The lights bouncing off the ocean, the shops with their neon lights, and even the clustered off people surrounding the beach had a certain appeal to it. She was enjoying her walk with the boys even though she wasn't too sure on where they were going, however she did have a hunch that David was leading them to the bikes. Jenna tugged closer towards Marko liking the closeness of him. In response, Marko gave her shoulders a gentle squeeze. They turned a corner and sure enough, the bikes came into view.
"Are you taking me to my home or to yours?" she asked once reaching the bikes. David turned around, facing Jenna.
"Ours, the Surf Nazi could still be out for you and by the looks by one of them back there that is certain," David said.
Jenna nodded, "Okay, when will I be able to go home? Don't get me wrong being around you guys is fun and all, but I kind of miss my home, mostly the books I have there," she said.
"You'll go home when I think you're ready," David said and turned his back on her. Apparently that was the end of that conversation. Jenna looked at Marko who shrugged his shoulders.
"Don't take it to heart, Jenna. You'll be home before you know it," he said tapping the top of her nose. She gave a small laugh. Marko climbed aboard his bike, but they weren't leaving yet, they had to wait for Star and Laddie. Jenna stood beside Marko, near the handlebars.
"When I do go home, will we still be able to see each other?" she asked looking at her feet. She was afraid of his answer. Afraid that he'll say no or that they can't, she didn't realize how much she enjoyed his, and the boys, company. Marko placed his hand under Jenna's chin, bringing her head up to meet his eyes.
"Of course, you won't be able to get rid of us that easily," he said.
"Good," she said with a smile. A few minutes later Star and Laddie showed up. Getting on the bikes, they headed back to the boys home. Jenna wondered why David won't let her go. If the Surf Nazi was to come to her house, she just had to call the cops and it would be done with. But he didn't want her to leave, and Jenna wanted to know why.
"David, can I talk to you for a sec?" Jenna asked once entering the cave.
"Of course," he said leading her away from the others.
"What do you want to talk about?" he asked. Jenna gathered all the courage she had left and put it into the question.
"Why are you so persistent that I stay here?" she asked.
"To keep the Surf Nazi away from you," he said.
"That's not the only reason. What's the real reason on why you want me to stay?" she asked fearing that she might have pushed too hard. David waited a few moments before answering Jenna.
"I want to know what you are. Why are you so different from everyone else," he said. Jenna was taken aback.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"You're not normal Jenna. You're not like everyone else. There is something about you that makes you separate from other people. I intend to find out," he said. He walked away from her.
"What if there is nothing different about? What if I'm just a regular girl?" she asked to his back. David paused in his moments. He glanced over his shoulder at her.
"Then I'll just kill you," he said.
