"Wake up!"

"Come on Claire!"

"Seriously wake up!"

"Would you two shut up!?" I asked, opening my eyes. I glared at my cousins before sitting up. "I can hear you ya know." They smiled sheepishly at me.

"There were some people here for you." Allen said.

"They looked dangerous." Edgar said. I groaned and fell back onto the bed.

"Did they give you their names?" I asked.

"Just that a David was looking for you." My eyes widened and I turned my gaze upon my cousins again.

"Just David?" I questioned. They nodded before giving me a look.

"Are you and him-"

"HELL NO! I don't date vampires." I said. Their eyes widened before they ran out of the room. "Shit shit shit shit shit. Really? Did I have to say that out loud. They are gonna kill be. All of them. Good bye life!" I got to my feet and walked to my closet, getting dressed. I walked down to the store and found the boys on the phone, talking to someone.

"Kill him! He's a vampire now, not your brother!" Edgar exclaimed.

"Who are you talking too?" I asked.

"Sam Emerson. His brother is a vampire." Allen said.

"Hello, vampires don't exist." I said, stressing my point.

"but you just-"

"Damnit, I'm still half asleep. Do you really think I can think at this point?" I questioned. Edgar was still yelling into the phone. "SHUT UP!" I yelled at him. He quieted down before glaring at me.

"What do you want?" He questioned.

"You know what? Nevermind. Be careful though, the government is probably listening to you telling someone to kill their brother. If that happens what does that make you? Huh? It makes you partners in premeditated murder. you three will be prison bound in few weeks." I said giving them my total bitch look. "Vampires don't exist."

"She has fallen under their trap." Edgar said.

"What?" I questioned. "You two live in comic books, you need to live in reality." I turned and walked out of the shop, heading down to the boardwalk. "Why can't I EVER have a normal family?" I asked myself. I walked to the water and sat in the sand, staring off into the distance.

I was there for probably a good two hours before someone came around. That someone? It was Dwayne. He sat down next to me, not saying a word. I gave him a sideways glance before staring back at the water. I heard him sigh. "Well then." I said after ten minutes of no conversation. "I have to go." I got to my feet, as did Dwayne. "Are you gonna follow me?" I questioned.

"I have to." He said. watching me.

"Uh, no you don't." I said awkwardly. i made my way down the beach, listening to him walk behind me. I cracked my neck before turning around swiftly, pointing my finger into Dwayne's chest. "Listen you! I don't know what your problem is, but stop following me. I don't like you." I said. I turned and made my way to the board walk... with Dwayne still following me.

I sat down on a bench and stared at the dark haired vampire. "Why are you following me?" I questioned.

"David's orders."

"Tell him to go screw himself." I growled. I saw Dwayne give a small smirk.

"how about you tell me yourself princess." Came the cold reply. I turned and stared at the blue eyed vampire.

"Call me that again and I'll shoot you." I said. "OOH! Go screw yourself." I looked him straight in the eye as I said that. Growls ripped through David's throat and he strode forward, only to be stopped by me holding up a hand. "Trust me, you don't scare me." I said. I yet again got to me feet and stared at Dwayne. "See ya."

I walked towards the movie store, going inside. Max smiled at me.

"Welcome to Max's Videos, how may I help you?"

I gave him a small smile. "I'm sorry about intruding, but I need to get away from some people and I know they aren't allowed in your store." Max's face flashed with recognition.

"The Lost Boys." He muttered.

"Yup." I said. "I can't stand them." Out of the corner of my eye I saw the furious face of David, glaring inside at me. Max looked from me to David and back again.

"What did they do?" He questioned.

"Ooh, took me to their home, offered me Chinese, which was delicious, and is stalking me." I said summing it up. "I just told David to screw himself." I heard Max laugh.

"No one has that courage." He said, giving me a look.

"Yeah well I don't take to kindly to stalkers." I said. I noticed that David had left, the coast probably not clear. "I think their gone." I said, walking to the door. "by the way, if you ever need anything Max, let me know." I made my way out onto the street, heading towards home. I hand enclosed my small wrist and I was pulled into the alleyway.

"You thought you could get away from me?" David asked.

"No, I just didn't think you'd be so stupid. My cousins will come for you if I go missing. We know what you freak are." I said, I turned and looked him in the eye.

"And what are we?" He questioned, eyes glinting in dark amusement. I grinned sadisically and gave a small laugh.

"Vampires, duh."
