So, I would like to apologize, sincerely. I'm kicking my own ass because I've realized that this story hasn't been updated in about...a year! I've come up with a multitude of excuses as well, and that's not too cool, but I want to thank all of you guys for reading and reviewing! Enjoy!

Chapter 13

Paul's Pov

"You little bitch!" Marko chuckled, and the rest of the guys joined in.

"I like this one; she's been able to embarrass the jokester!" Dwayne smiled.

"It sounds to me like Brooke's already taken your manhood away, Paul." David grinned. They all cackled.

"Fuck you guys." I muttered, looking down. She really got the one-up on me. "How do I know she's supposed to be my mate anyway?" I questioned, not really looking for anyone to answer.

"Well," a new voice boomed, "you don't want to make a meal of her." From the mouth cave Max stood with a grin, adjusting his glasses. "You are also already overly protective my dear boy; you've got to be careful with that." He grinned.

"Yeah, what do you want Max?" David asked lazily, lighting up another cigarette.

"We may need to speed up the uh, 'vamping up' process with your mate, young one." He said carefully, looking at the bejeweled bottle of blood lying about. It was filled with the blood of five of us, and the majority had been Max's; he was supposed to be our 'father' after all. We all gave him weary looks.

"What made you come to that marvelous decision, Max?" I grinned snidely. If I wanted to do something, damn well I was going to do it on my own time!

"There are some pressing matters that we need to attend to, boys." Max said calmly, but looking at him, even he looked a little troubled. Looking his way, we signaled for our sire to continue. "Well, you have all managed to meet our little parasite problem." He frowned, and then laughed.

"C'mon Max, they're immature." I grinned.

"Even more immature than Paul! We can handle 'em." Marko smirked, and I flipped him off, causing him to give me that deceptive little Cheshire grin of his.

"Focus boys." Max said, and we all turned our attention back his way. "If they don't comply about leaving, rip them to shreds, got it?" He stated with a snide grin. There was no question in his tone; this time around it was a command. I mean we wouldn't need an order to take 'em out; that's just another fun thing to do on the agenda. "Along with that," he continued his tone darker, "your mate may just lead us to hunters, my sons." That comic book could lead to trouble that Brooke had. How ironic the situation could be…if she only knew. I let out a goofy grin at the thought.

"Lover boy, snap out of it." Marko said, throwing one of the old pillows from the couch at me. "You've still gotta change her bud."

"Piece of cake." I countered.

"Make it quick; we can work out the complications later." Max added.

"It'll all be fine, Max." David began. "He actually has a date with the girl." He snickered, and the guys added in.

"I actually have an ice breaker if you get stuck trying to talk to her!" Marko added sheepishly. I usually don't talk to girls…if you catch my drift. Manwhore. I heard once again reverberating off of the walls of my rather empty head, so shaking it away I looked to Marko so he'd continue. "All you have to do is sit up straight, wrap an arm around her, lean into her ear and say 'It's a shame that I can't thank your folks for giving me such a beautiful-oh wait!" and with that he broke out into laughter. I let myself frown…that's gonna be a rough on to tell her. 'Hey, Brooke, I kind of killed your parents, sorry, I didn't know.' Max sent a confused look my way but shook it off and stood.

"Well boys, now that that's out of the way, go feed." He grinned. With that he left the cave, and alas left us to our own devices.

"Now where were we?" David questioned. "Oh right, I remember now. Brooke's already taken control of the balls in this relationship." He smirked, and the guys laughed again.

"In the right context I wouldn't mind." I muttered, standing up.

"C'mon, you could've asked her out, pansy." Marko grinned, nudging my shoulder.

"Oh, up yours!" I laughed, nudging him back. "Besides, let's stop this. I'm hungry-let's eat!"

"Feeding time boys." David breathed, flicking away his cigarette butt. And with that we set out into the night.

Brooke's Pov

I didn't bother with cleaning the place just yet, but made my way up to my room. Stupid Surf Nazi bastards need to get their asses handed to them. This is just ridiculous. Up the stairs I went, and noticed the door to my room was already opened. Oh please let them have left my room alone… However, upon seeing that they ransacked it, destroyed almost everything I owned, and stole most of my clothes, it was fair enough to say that I was seeing red.

"Assholes." I muttered, making my way over to my bed. I found no comfort there either, for even on my tiny bed the covers were ripped away and I found an open condom wrapper on the floor. Well isn't that just fan-fucking-tastic. Out of desperation I was actually starting to consider sleeping in my room, but hey, I conveniently had a little comic book to keep me company. After reading through it once more to pass the time I flipped it over and on the bottom of the page I saw a little phone number written in black ink. What the hell, right? Making my way to the kitchen I thanked the heavens that the phone was still connected to the wall. Here goes nothing-

"Ring….." Okay, maybe this was a silly idea Brooke.

"Ring….." No one's gonna answer, just hang up.

"Ring….." There's no point to this, silly.

"Rin-Hello?" A voice answered gruffly.

"Edgar, is that you?" I questioned, and he sighed.

"Yeah, do you need any vampire help?" he asked in a hurry. I rolled my eyes, but none-the-less smiled.

"Eh, not this time buddy." He groaned, "But…is Mo around?" I asked.

"Just a second." I could hear him drop the phone, and after a minute or two I could hear the static of it being picked up once more.

"What's up Brookie-Brooke?" Mo asked cheerfully. Her go-lucky attitude was actually helping me get my mind away from the mess of a house I was surrounded in.

"I was actually wondering if I could stop by for the night; my place has been contaminated by those damn Surf Nazis." I said, trying to match her happy tone. She laughed on the other line.

"Gnarly. Head on over, I'll catch you in the shop!"

"Thanks, Mo."

"No problem!" she giggled. "See you in a bit." She paused. "And be careful on your way over."

"Will do. Catch you in a bit." And with that I hung up. Bringing whatever clothes I could scrounge together, I threw them in grocery bag from the other day and headed down to the comic shop.

Paul's Pov

The beat of the music got me going, hell, it always did. So did the red flames flickering from the fire and dancing onto the sand.

The smell was irresistible…damn I was hungry.

How the Surf Nazis managed to stay a gang was beyond me, but for right now I didn't care about any of the other members of the never ending group. There were seven of them, but it was no match against me and the guys. They were dancing around and drinking. Some were making out and smoking. It was one hell of a riot, and as much as they would have fun now, I'd be having the fun soon enough. Food was something the guys and I all got excited about, and it never seemed to bore us. Without paying too much attention, I watched as another person joined in, and another, and another. Dude! There were twelve people gathered around, and I could feel the anticipation coming off of the others.

"Ready, and-" but before David could give the signal we heard a scream. Our heads snapped to the party goers and they were attacking each other! Then another wave of smells hit me…death. They were vampires alright, and looking closer into it we saw Chester's gang of wannabes attacking, well taunting. And our food nonetheless!

"Do you have fun playing with our food?" David questioned, his voice booming, even over the screams. The other gang stopped and Chester grinned, holding his arms out towards us.

"We have plenty of fun." One of them said, and his chin was dripping from the blood of one of the guys who had previously been drinking. A girl shrieked and tried to run off, but one of them caught her.

"This is all your fault!" she yelled at me. What the hell? Hey, she was one of the chicks in Brooke's house the other night…before she could say anything else however another one of Chester's gang snapped her neck.

"Look, as much fun as this must be for you, the rules haven't changed." David snarled. We were all on the defensive at that point. "You should leave."

"Neither have our rules, Davey." Chester grinned. "I still want sleeping beauty." He added, looking at me, and instantly a growl rumbled through me. That got a chuckle from Chester. "But hey, he continued, we're also recruiting." With that he took one girl by the throat, and that made another one of the Surf Nazis spring into action.

"Hey let go of her! Taylor!" the man yelled, charging at the leader. The girl yelled back.

"Collin! Help me baby I-" But before she could finish Chester tore into her neck. The guy, Collin, freaked the fuck out. Like no joke. The other clan of vamps finished off the other humans, but left the one, Collin, alive and blubbering like a baby.

"We don't follow the rules of people who shouldn't be on our land." David growled out. "But, have your fun for now; just get ready for the repercussions." The rest of us didn't know what to do; we were just standing around watching the whole situation take place, and it even made me feel a bit uneasy.

"We will, don't you worry. You better bring the girl next time, because this repercussion talk doesn't sound nearly as appetizing." With a final grin Chester and his minions took off with the human, and the guys and I stood around confused and hungry.

"What…what the hell just happened?" Marko murmured.

"It sounds like we need to take 'em out boys." David scowled, and looking my way he pulled out his pack of cigarettes. "Paul, you've got to trick your mate; I don't think you'll have time to wait.

So the pacing is a little odd in this chapter, and if you couldn't tell, Taylor just...died. I can't wait till Brooke finds out;) I love you guys, and I'll try and get another update in before school begins. Much love, Crimsonsky132
