I DO NOT OWN LOST BOYS ONLY THE SITUATION AND MY OC LEAH. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed. I know some of this may be against character but it's my first fanfic and I am writing others that are more dark and closer to character, also I'll explain why people seem the way they do. I don't mind criticism if it's to help not hurt. Ideas or requests are also welcomed.
Ch.6
The boys and I checked on Star and Laddie before we took off for the Emerson residence.
I rode with Paul, because who can say no to those puppy dogs eyes. I promised to ride with Marko on the way back just to be fair.
As we pulled up to the house the guys start shouting Michael's name and driving around to scare him, while I had a slightly different task.
I flew up to the second story windows until I found Sam's and opened it. Sitting on the window seal I listened and heard him beg Mike not to open the door.
"Go take your bath" Mike said after the boys went to wait for me a little ways down the road. I heard Sam run up and he entered the room with his dog Nanook.
Instead of attacking me though, Nanook ran up and started licking my face making me laugh until Sam dragged him off.
He looked terrified and I sighed, "I'm not going to hurt you Sam, I promise."
"Ya well sorry if I don't really believe you!" he snarked.
"Sam I know you're confused and scared by what you and Michael are going through but it does get better."
"What are we Leah? I thought you were my friend."
"I am, really, I'm giving you a great gift. Look I can't stay long. I know you'll figure it out you're smart Sammy. Just...keep an open mind at least. Please." I said jumping out the window before he could respond and floated to the ground by the boys.
I shrugged their questioning glances. They understood, we could only wait now and see how it played out.
I'd try to talk to Sam again tomorrow, after Michael was shown how we feed.
We all made it back to the boardwalk and picked up Star and Laddie. When we got back to the cave everyone went to their own corners as I followed Star to her bed.
"Hey Star?" I asked as we looked at some magazines. "Tomorrow we need you and Laddie to stay here. We are gonna take Mike to feed and I don't know how he'll react."
Star nodded and said, "Ok, just be careful. I don't want you guys getting hurt." I smiled and we went back to reading until Laddie came up looking sleepy.
After we tucked him in I hugged Star goodnight then walked over to Dwayne who was laying on his couch reading Dracula.
Funny Dwayne, real funny.
I laid at his feet and let myself feel content at the relaxed atmosphere.
Sooner then I would have liked my eyes started to droop and I was going in and out of consciousness. I felt someone lift me up and place me on what I assumed was my bed.
"Sleep well babe" said Dwayne and I smiled and reached for him even though my eyes were closed.
He laughed but complied and held me giving me a soft kiss. "I love you Dwayne" I murmured only half aware of what I was saying.
"And I love you Leah" came his soft reply as I finally gave in to sleep and became lost in my dreams.
His soft kisses assured they'd be ones of the pleasant variety.
########################################################################################################
I woke up with a smile on my face though it soon faded when I thought of what we had to face today.
Trying to get Michael to eat would be difficult, maybe even harder than in the movie since this time he didn't have Star to tempt him. I sure as hell wasn't going to flirt to get him to do it.
One: Ew!
And two: my mates would kill him in a heartbeat.
Not that I'd be very upset with that, I'd just rather not mess everything up just to get rid of Michael.
I slipped on a knee length off shoulder deep green dress with my boots and walked out to the boys who were huddled together. They jumped apart when I coughed.
"Hey chica looking fine" tried Paul.
"What are you planning?" I asked right to the chase.
"Well Kitten, we thought about what you said about before where Michael goes looking for Star" and I raised and eyebrow at David.
He actually looked nervous. "Well since he seems to like you", he said unhappily, "we thought you'd stay here and-".
"NO!" I shouted. How could they try to leave me here! "I want to come with you!", now they looked frustrated. Well so am I!
"What if Mike doesn't feed or brings Sam? What-", now I'm cut off by an irritated Dwayne.
"You said you couldn't live without us!"
"I can't I-".
"Well we can't live without you!" he yelled I'm shocked speechless.
"We don't know how he'll react, we couldn't handle if you got hurt. SO Please, PLEASE!" he stressed holding my face, begging. "Stay here".
I was about to start arguing again but paused and looked at my mates.
Mates, that means we are made for each other. They aren't asking me to stay to control me or push me away from them.
They are trying to protect their mate, me.
The same thing I had been trying to do for them. Love isn't a one way street. Everything I feel for them they feel for me, probably more intensely since they can feel it completely being full vampires.
I took a long look at all of their faces again and see the pain of asking me to stay out of their sight, but also the anxiety of what could happen if I went with them.
I sigh, "Fine but-". I stopped them as they rushed over to me and surrounded me. "When you get back I want to go to your room with you".
"Alright Leah" Paul said suggestively and Marko pushed him laughing.
"Not for that. Well not yet", I blushed. "Just so I can be there in case those Frog dumbasses show up. I can jump them." I stand tall so they know I will not be backing down on this.
They exchanged glances until David sighed and said. "Alright Kitten but you'll be hidden. When we get back Max wants all of us to go 'visit' him." Cue the boys groaning unhappily.
I simply shrugged but added, "I want to talk to Sam when you get back and try to get him to ease up a bit". The boys nodded reluctantly.
I gave an exaggerated sigh and kissed them all before flinging myself onto a couch waiting for Star and Laddie to wake up.
The boys chuckled and passed by kissing my head with Dwayne last.
He didn't say anything but the look in his eyes told me all I needed to know. He was thankful that I had agreed to stay.
I smiled and waved him off with an eye roll making him laugh and follow the guys.
I sighed again, already bored.
########################################################################################################
BOYS POV:
It hurt to have to ask Leah to stay behind where they couldn't see or touch her at any minute, but it would have hurt more if she had gotten hurt.
The boys leaned against a railing joking around and brushing off the sluts that were trying to show them attention.
They didn't even compete with their purple haired mate.
All they were good for now was an easy meal.
"How much you wanna bet Michael doesn't show and we wasted the night?" asked Marko biting his nails.
"Pfft", scoffed Paul, "I wouldn't doubt it. He just better not go to the cave like Leah said he did in the movie. If Star wants him that's her deal but I don't want him alone with our girl." The others nodded.
"I think that opportunity has already passed and was missed. It should have already happened." Dwayne said.
David started with "Ya maybe he didn't 'cause Star blew him off or-", but was cut off as Michael grabbed his jacket and spun him around.
"What did you do to me!? Where's Leah?" Michael demanded and the four boys stood shoulder to shoulder, their hackles rising.
"If you want answers Michael, you'll follow us. Oh and don't worry about Leah. I already told you she's ours, that's never gonna change" David warned and they began walking to the bikes before Michael could piss them off more.
'If he talks about her again I'm gonna fuck him up. To hell with what Max says', thought Paul to the others and Dwayne and Marko backed him up. Hell David wanted to do the same thing.
'Let's see how little Michael handles the real world boys.' he thought back and they chuckled out loud.
'I don't care if he feeds or not, the sooner we deal with this dick the sooner we can get back to Leah', added Marko.
'Ya let's hurry up, we have a mate now who I'd much rather see then this tool.' said Dwayne ending the silent conversation as they got on their bikes and rode off, Michael following.
They parked behind a sand dune and climbed up a hill to a big tree overlooking the partying teens below.
They each jumped up in a branch with grace that was other worldly while Michael stumbled below trying to keep up and hanging by the lowest branch.
He looked over the party confused. 'Are we gonna crash or something?', he thought before that painful thirst from earlier returned to plague him.
The boys let their faces change, showing the demons they really were.
"Initiations over Michael, time to join the club" said David letting Michael see his fangs.
"Heya Michael!" said Marko leaning forward to scare Michael and they all laughed when he fell out of the tree.
Without another thought to the halfling watching them the boys descended on the unsuspecting party goers, ripping them apart in the most brutal ways imaginable. Once everyone was dead they were still laughing and jumping around, pumped from the recent meal, throwing the leftovers into the bonfire.
'Where's Michael?' thought Paul.
"Down below" answered Dwayne out loud as they walked to stand back by the tree.
They looked down and sure enough there was Michael vamped out and breathing heavily on his back staring at them like they were the devil himself.
And maybe they were, they hardly cared anymore.
They smoothed out their faces and stood covered in blood. If Leah had been there she would have thought this part looked far more beautiful in person than on a screen.
They looked like fallen angels. Angelic faces deceivingly beautiful, but bloody and sinful like a demon while the fire behind them gave them halo like glows.
"Now you know what we are. What you are. You'll never grow old, never die. But you MUST feed.", David's voice carried and broke past Michael's panic.
"NO!" Michael yelled and ran off jumping on his bike, speeding away, afraid they might stop him.
The boys however had no intention of stopping Mike. Instead they were anxious to go back to their mate, and to a lesser extension their pack siblings, and make sure they were safe and sound.
Hopefully their mate wasn't to cross with them.
########################################################################################################
NORMAL POV:
Being with Star and Laddie in the cave wasn't so bad. I was just so used to at least one of the boys always around that I missed them.
I guess the other two caught on to this and made it their mission to have fun.
We danced, drew, and just goofed around. It was actually pretty fun.
I tucked Laddie into my bed and pulled Star forward to brush her hair.
"I'm happy you're here." she suddenly told me.
"So am I. I was so alone before, but now. Now I have all of you."
"Me two", Star confided.
"Me three" chimed in a barely conscious Laddie making us giggle.
"Star I want you and Laddie to stay here tonight and lock the door". She looked up curious and a little scared.
"Why?"
"I think some people are going to try to come and hurt the boys tomorrow and I don't want you caught in the crosshairs."
"What?! What about you?" I hushed her motioning to Laddie.
"I will be hidden ready to strike. I have to do this or else Marko will die. Remember how I told you I'd tell you everything eventually?"
"Yes."
"Well tomorrow is kind of like the beginning of the climax I guess you could say and then I can explain everything. Just don't hate me when it's over." I mumbled sadly.
"I could never hate you Leah." she promised hugging me.
"I hope so." I whispered. "Ok", I said whipping a stray tear, "The boys will be back soon and we have business, goodnight Star."
"Goodnight Leah love you." That made me choke up a bit.
"Love you too" I said before closing the door and going back to the main room.
I collapsed in David's wheelchair and cried myself to sleep.
I was woken up by someone gently lifting me and placing me back on their lap.
I opened my eyes and saw I'm now on David with Dwayne crouched in front of us and Paul and Marko on both sides, all looking at me with concern.
"Why were you crying Leah?" asked Dwayne. I looked down and sniffed.
"I just kept thinking about how Star will react when I tell her she could have been human again", I confessed.
"Do you regret coming here? Or what we plan to do?" David asked in a detached voice and all of them have blank faces.
"Of course not!", I yelled jumping up. "I love you, each one of you and you're the ones I am here for at the end of the day!" They looked relieved and sheepish.
"We're sorry Leah, we just had to be sure." said Marko.
"Why do you regret me coming here?" I asked worried and now they all rushed to pet me and tried to talk over each other.
"Never Kitten, we love you!"
"You're ours babe!"
"And we're yours."
"And don't you forget it Chica!" Paul finished their little speech and I calmed down and giggled.
"Ok so we are clear, I don't regret anything I'm just sad about how Star might react but I wouldn't change a thing...besides what I already changed. You know what I mean!", and we all laughed.
"Ok boys, and Kitten, let's go. We gotta let Leah talk to Sam and then we are off to Max's". David tells us.
With that we're gone into the night.
########################################################################################################
We arrived at the Emersons' and the boys made sure to stay in the shadows as I flew to Sam's window.
I saw him inside shaking and tapped lightly.
He jumped and looked at me hesitating before finally opening the window and letting me in.
"Hi Sammy", I said lightly. He sighed and sat back down, head in hands.
"Hi Leah."
"Sammy did you tell the Frogs about us?"
He looks up shocked, "You can read my mind!?", he screeched and I gave a soft chuckle.
"No, but I had a suspicion. Look Sammy, being one of us isn't that bad". He gave me a disbelieving look so I pressed on.
"Sleep all day, Party all night. Never grow old, never die.", and he actually chuckled. "You don't even have to feed right away, you can wait till your older like Laddie. And you'll be part of something amazing and powerful."
"I don't know Leah, I'm scared.", he admitted softly and looking ashamed. He jumped a little when I sat by him and took his hand.
"I know Sammy, I'm only half too. But this life has given me everything I have ever wanted", and he lifts his head curious to what I have to say. "I grew up alone and bullied, had anxiety and OCD which made me a prime victim. My parents cared more about work than for me and I didn't have any siblings. I only had one friend before I came here but she had met a guy and had less and less time for me."
I stood wiping a tear and clearing my throat.
"You see Sammy, before I met the boys I really was a lost girl. But they saw me. They found me." Sammy nodded looking thoughtful and offered a sad smile.
"You don't have to want to be like us Sam but please, don't betray us. Don't try to take my boys from me, I love them. Don't take my family".
Sam hugged me as I cried until his door burst open and Michael rushed in.
"Leah", he looked surprised and walked closer though I backed away.
He stopped and looked angry. "Do you know where I went tonight Leah? Do you know what I saw?" he basically shouted and Sam looked on nervously between us.
"Yes." I offered simply and with no explanation.
This seems to enrage him more as he suddenly grabbed my shoulders and squeezed painfully. I swear I can hear growls in the distant.
"What am I?", he looks at Sam then back at me. "What are we?"
I pushed him off of me and answered.
"You're a vampire Michael and you brought this on yourself trying to act all bad ass and following us. Just embrace it you might like it." I offered another smile at Sam and turned back to the window though before I can leave, I'm grabbed again.
Michael is holding me to him and trying to press his lips to mine so I do the only thing I can think of. I scream.
Suddenly Mike is ripped away but not by the vampires I suspected since I hear them growling and approaching from outside. Instead a vamped out Sam is holding Mike by the back of his shirt.
"Don't touch her Mike! Hurry Leah, go!" Sam yelled.
"Thank you Sammy!" I shouted before I jumped out the window and into the waiting arms of Marko, holding him close and wiping my mouth vigorously.
"Come on let's go, please?" I beg my very angry mates, who agree though just barley. 'You got lucky Michael, watch your back 'cause your not gonna get another chance to touch me'.
We arrived at Max's and Paul and Marko thought it'd be funny to send a bat kite to his front door sending Thorn into a hell-hound frenzy.
When Max stepped outside to examine the noise the boys rived their engines, being as loud as they could and Max asks "Who's there?"
Finally the boys get bored and we approach his gate while he looked at us disapprovingly.
"Boys and Leah", he acknowledges though I'm the only one to give a nod in return as the others just walk past and into the front room.
Paul and Marko lean on his entertainment center while Dwayne stays standing behind the couch that David sits on pulling me next to him. He lifts his feet up to the table and lights a cigarette.
I can't help but giggle at Max's affronted look at our actions.
"So what news do you have boys, only good I hope". He strides to his chair like some kind of King, which he might believe himself to be.
"Well we showed Michael how to feed and no surprise he ran away" David said.
"Little bitch", I mumble and they laugh, though Max looks like he wants to scold me for my language.
"Sam", David continues, "Seems more open to it though only time will tell. He did make contact with the Frogs so we think they'll still show up tomorrow and try to stake Marko. So we should take them out tonight."
Max waved his hand. "I'm sure they won't be a match IF they do show up. What's important is that the plan to get Lucy is all coming together", he said cheerfully.
"What!" I yelled and everyone looked at me.
"Is there a problem Leah?" Max asked me condescendingly.
"Fuck ya there is." I growled, "Why don't you care that Marko might die?"
"I don't under-", I cut him off.
"I have told you what these boys do, whether it's luck or talent doesn't matter and you sit here as if it's not even a possibility! I don't know if I should hate you or not so please Max tell me. Do you just not give two fucks about the boys? Because there is a very real chance that this ends terrible and they die!"
I'm up and pacing now.
"I could never tell if you were in denial, or would grieve later or some shit but it seems that you care more about this woman you barely know instead of the boys you claim as your sons!", I finished off breathing heavily.
Max is staring at me slack jawed, they all are, but I don't care I want answers.
Max pulled himself up towering over me and vamped out. "Now listen here you little bitch! I am the head of this family! I say-".
"Fuck you!", I screamed. "You might be head vampire but you aren't the head of my family, you aren't a father. Father's care if their children are hurt, even my father would care. But you just like to play games with people's lives."
Max made a move towards me but was blocked off by four equally angry Lost Boys.
"Move boys, I am your maker you obey me!", he commanded arrogantly.
"You might be our maker Max", hissed out David, "But Leah is our mate and you have no power when it comes to mates!"
Max looked shocked, even scared, and took a step back letting his face smooth out. The boys copied him, surrounding me protectively.
"You may leave now", Max said and we made our way to the door but I turned around.
"Think on this Max. You want Lucy to be a good mother to the boys, but have you been a good father?" With that I spun on my heel and allowed my mates to lead me out leaving a thoughtful Max behind.
########################################################################################################
We made it back to the cave much later, because the boys wanted to yell at me for yelling at a dangerous vampire (Oh irony) then kiss me senseless 'cause apparently they think I'm hot when I'm mad.
We walked in and I checked on Laddie and Star, happy to find the door locked and followed the boys into their room.
They laughed at my amazed face when Paul jumped upside down. I tried to punish them by saying no more kisses.
I say trying because the boys are very persuasive.
Dwayne put me on a little rock close to Marko so I could wake them up and stop the Frogs if needed.
After getting more kisses, and groping in Marko and Paul's case, the boys tried calming my nerves but it was no use.
So after telling the boys to get some rest, I sat and faced the entry of the cave, trying to stay awake.
I refused to let this be the only thing I can't change. Come on vampire hunters, let's see what you got!
########################################################################################################
I had been dozing in and out when I heard an oh so familiar voice. "I thought they slept in coffins?" asked Alan.
"That's what this place is. One big coffin", answered Edgar.
I was worried my eyes wouldn't open but the moment the vampire in me registered a threat to her mates I was suddenly full of energy.
I saw the boys notice the vampires hanging above and I crouched waiting.
"First come first staked", said Edgar.
Alan asked, "Which ones the head?" as he crawled up to Marko.
"I don't know we'll have to stake them all, start with the little one."
Alan nodded and tried to get into position.
I jumped before he could even lift his arm knocking us both to the ground. I started screaming as I felt the most incredible pain ever in my gut.
At my scream the boys woke up, their eyes searching till they landed on Alan laying next to me and a stake in my stomach.
"You're dead meat!" David yelled as he rushed the brothers who scrambled up and out of the hole.
I can't help but whimper and whine at the piece of wood in my flesh. Paul lifted my head to his lap and Marko held my hand while Dwayne yanked the stake out making me scream even louder.
There is so much blood I'm sure if I was still totally human I'd be dead by now.
Dwayne apologized and offered his wrist. I drank greedily, trying to fill the new hole in me.
He pulled back and petted my hair till I heard a scream, a feminine scream.
Star!
"Help!" she screamed as I tried to jump up but was held down by Paul and Marko as Dwayne rushed out.
He came back with David a few minutes later and they fell by me and I see David's burnt hand.
I reached for him, wanting, no needing to feel all of them against me alive and here. They cocooned me and make me drink from them as I mewl feeling my tissue rebuild itself slowly.
David petted my cheek. "When the sun goes down we'll feed and you'll heal faster, then we can go get Star back."
The fates of the Frog didn't have to be spoken since we all wanted retribution, so instead I asked "What happened with Star?"
David growled, "That shit head Michael broke the door and dragged her out. She tried running back and I almost had her when he fucking punched her!" Now we are all growling, he hurt our sister!
"I reached for him but those Frogs got my hand in the sun."
At this I took his hand and cradled it to me gently. "Luckily Laddie is still here and unhurt."
"As much as I hate to say it, we need to tell Max before we go and figure out a plan. I saved Marko, I'm not losing any of you". They continued to purr and pet me.
Watch out Michael, 'cause I'm coming for you!
########################################################################################################
SAM'S POV:
I can't believe Michael, my own flesh and blood, hit a girl!
Not only that but he contacted the Frogs and went to try to kill the guys!
I mean I'm still unsure about what's going on but to try to kill them? I kept thinking about what Leah said and I hope they are all ok.
Speaking of Leah. "What happened" I asked Edgar who is complaining about a girl.
"That bitch that came into the store! She stopped us from killing one of them". I let out a small breath till he pats his brother's back, who I notice is pale and shaking.
"At least you got to stake her."
"WHAT!?" I screamed.
"It was only in her stomach", Alan mumbles looking ashamed while Edgar glares.
"Will you two snap out of it! She's a blood sucker!" He storms off when neither of us answer him.
"Is my sister dead?" Came the quiet voice of Star who is sitting in a dark corner on my bed sporting a black eye thanks to Mike.
"I-I don't know", Alan admits then can't seem to take Star crying so he leaves.
I sat by her and tried to offer some comfort. "They said it was just in the stomach so I'm sure she'll heal", she still cries though it seems to lighten.
"I mean knowing Leah she's probably planning Mike's funeral right now."
She gave a small smile.
"And with how Mike hurt you, I'll help", I promised and she thanks me before laying back to sleep.
How did things get so confusing? Who do I stand by?
My brother who seems to be becoming someone I don't recognize or the sweet girl who turned me into a vampire?
I laid by Star and felt her snuggle into my back as the day time take effect and starts to put me to sleep. Maybe that's what I need to figure this out.
I can only hope.
