Well I can truthfully say that this bout of writing is brought on not only to please my readers but also because today, July 16, 2007, my entire phone line and phones was blown up by a freak lightening storm. The bolt took out both phones, the phone lines inside and outside of my house, and, because I was in the living room RIGHT BESIDE my phone jacks, it took part of my hearing for a while too. What this means is that I should be able to start updates on most, if not all, of my stories. I want to thank all of my dedicated readers and reviewers for sticking with me and for encouraging me. As always I do not own any recognizable characters, plotlines and/or scenery. Any characters or plotlines you do NOT recognize are mine. I am not making anything off of this fic, I am only gaining a little entertainment and satisfaction at seeing things go my way. No copyright infringement is intended with the creation of this fic.

Chapter Three

It wasn't a long ride back to the cave by any means, but to Tempest, who was cradled in David's arms on his bike, it lasted an eternity. Lust was flowing through her veins, her own and David's, a fire boiling in her blood. Hot, sucking kisses were spread over her neck, the hint of fangs causing her to moan and warmth to pool between her legs. She felt an answering excitement from the man behind her, a hard bulge pressed tightly against her buttocks. Teasingly she moved against him, inciting a feral growl to issue from the mouth currently nibbling her ear.

Dimly she could feel the boys, through David, and their excitement gave the night an extra zing, a forbidden flavor that made the moment seem more precious. The night whispered of forbidden pleasures, of things that were not seen in the light of day without feelings of shame and deep blushes. That thought, however, did not deter her for shame had no place within her, not when it came to her boys. They were hers, make no mistake, just as she was theirs.

The sense of belonging, of rightness caused her arousal to spike. She had never felt as if she belonged and her boys made her feel like that; their acceptance of her, their protectiveness and pursuance of her endeared them to her all the more. The primal sense of ownership between the five supernatural beings ran through the links between them, bringing them closer together.

In a flash they were at their home, bikes were turned off and Tempest was being pulled off of David's. Dwayne, his hands resting on her shoulders, stood close, eyes dark and sultry. A slight rustle and whisper of cloth heralded Marko and Paul's flight down to the cave. David had gotten off of his bike and stood close behind her, nuzzling her neck and running his hands over her hips.

The night had passed by in a pleasurable haze, bringing with it a sense of peace to the 3 silent, sleeping figures in the grand bed. Lines had been crossed, bridges had been burned and with the coming of the dawn Tempest had said a final goodbye to her old life. She was where she belonged, where she was wanted; her sire/lover and her other lover had both claimed her heart, soul and body.

In the other side of the cavern lay two scheming figures. Michael and Star had found their way together after the boys and Tempest had left the night before, coming back to the cave after the others. A frantic coupling during the early hours of the morning followed by plotting against the sleeping vampires; hours of quiet whispering had finally come to a mutual plan of bloodshed. It had been decided that the two would set out to kill the Lost Boys and take Tempest. Star had been against saving the Lost Girl but, after much arguing and cajoling from Michael, she had finally agreed.

Unknown to the two schemers the Lost Boys knew of their plan; after all, blood is telling and the two half vampires had David's blood running through their veins. David was a Master Vampire, very powerful and in complete control of his faculties, even during day sleep. His mind was connected to all of his childer, through the blood link, and he could hear what they were thinking.

Laddie, who had heard everything from his surrogate big sister and her new lover, snuck out of bed and walked quickly and silently down the corridors. He knew how to get to the boys' sleeping room and he would stay there. He liked Star, after all she had taken care of him, but he was determined not to let her kill his friends.

Sunset came quickly, the last vestiges of daylight sinking behind the horizon. The Lost Boys started stirring, Marko and Paul coming down from their perch, surprised to find Laddie sleeping on the floor. Kneeling down they shook him awake, watching as the youngest Lost Boy yawned and opened his eyes sleepily.

"Hey, kiddo, what're you doing down here?"

"I didn't want to stay up front with Star and Michael. I wanted to make sure they didn't try anything today."

The older boys puzzled over that statement, wondering what the boy meant by it. Feeling their sire was awake they grabbed him, pulling him towards David's room. Or rather it would be more accurate Laddie pulled them, glaring at them to make them walk faster. When they reached the door they were surprised to find it opened, David leaning against the frame.

With a regal wave he motioned them in, closing the door and following behind them. Laddie climbed onto the bed beside Tempest and Dwayne, Paul settled into a leather chair by what was once a window, and Marko leaned against the bedpost. When everyone was comfortable David looked at each of them, finally settling on Laddie who squirmed under the all-knowing ice blue stare.

"What's wrong, Laddie?"

"I overheard Michael and Star today, they wish to kill you. They thought I was asleep and Michael stayed here for most of the day, going over ways to kill you with Star. He told her that Tempest was to be left alone and Star didn't like it, she wants her dead too."

"I know all about it, kid. Star and Michael aren't aware that I know everything they do or think. I knew they would try something and I'm already prepared. Thank you for telling me of this, Laddie, but there's no cause for concern. We won't allow anything to happen to us or you."

The younger boy nodded and smiled, relieved that his leader knew of their plans and was ready to do what was necessary. He had known the boys a lot longer than he had Star, his loyalty lie with them and with their newest addition to the pack.

"Come on, boys, let's go and scare us up some action. Laddie, do you want to come?"

"Yeah!"

David grinned and nodded to Dwayne, who picked the boy up, swinging him up onto his shoulders. David walked over to the bed, extending his hand to Tempest and pulling her up with him. The other two boys got up and the group walked out of the room and towards the cave entrance.

The group walked out into the dark of night, a breeze scented with the smell of the ocean washing over them. Stars twinkled brightly in the sky, the Milky Way plainly visible without the boardwalk lights to hinder the sight.

With a collective roar, the bikes were started and they were off. In a blink they were at the boardwalk, bright lights assaulting Tempest's eyes, loud music and screeching greeting her ears. David's hand urged her to move, steering her into the crowd.

They hadn't gotten far when she noticed a familiar figure standing in the doorway of the comic book shop. Sam, holding some vampire comic book, was staring at the crowd, talking absent mindedly to his two military wanna-be companions. The boys' eyes turned towards her, narrowing and causing a shiver to rush down her spine. Upon meeting their eyes she gasped, visions of them trying to kill them in their sleep assaulting her mind.

David, who had noticed her actions and felt her distress, looked at her worriedly. He placed his hand under her shin, turning her face towards him. Her eyes had changed, turning deep scarlet, pink tinged tears starting to flow down her cheeks.

"Shit! Tempest, what's wrong?"

She stared into his eyes, shaking her head. In a moment she had connected to him, showing him what she had seen causing his eyes to turn the feral amber of his vampiric state. Anger sang a hot tune through his blood, coursing through veins and arteries, settling in his heart and causing a white hot rage to grow. Power clung to him like a second skin, pulsing and caressing his childer, whose eyes had widened at the state their leader and girl was in.

Grabbing the two before they could truly be seen they dragged them into the dark alley way between stores, barraging their leader with questions as to why they were like that. A low growling could be heard coming from their female counterpart and images flooded their minds, the vision that had caused such havoc to the other two. Understanding dawned on the remaining boys, emotions flashing across their faces depending upon the personality of the person it was behind.

All decided to go ahead and feed, they would need their strength for the days to come. Tempest laced her arm through David's, Paul and Marko walked behind them, Dwayne and Laddie brought up the rear. It was a silent group that walked the boardwalk, all conversation halted until they had fed and could go somewhere else to figure things out.

Things would be harder now, what with Tempest and Laddie added into the equation, but they would make do. Tempest was the youngest of the vampires, thus making her the weakest of the group of full vampires and Laddie was only a boy. The boys refused to put the two at risk.

Feeding time that night was a rather violent affair, screams singing loudly through the night, bright red blood flying though the air. They fed voraciously, hungrily drinking until they could drink no more.

Without a word being spoken they decided to head back to the cave, where they could discuss what to do about the dangers they were facing. David had learned early on never to underestimate your opponent, no matter how small they may seem. He knew they would have to do something and soon, he would not lose even one member of his pack to either threat.

The group walked far into the back of the cave, going to a room that Star didn't know about, so they could safely talk without her finding out their plans. Each threat was discussed down to the smallest detail, finding ways to counteract them. After many hours of talking it was decided that Michael and Star would have their mind wiped thoroughly, leaving them half vampires but with the minute amount of vampire blood they had in them and a 'push' from David would ensure they wouldn't know the difference. The Frog brothers would have to be killed, any kind of a hunter, even if they were bumbling, could not be allowed to live.

OK, I wanted to end this chapter here simply because this was mostly a filler/explanation chapter. All, or rather, most of the action will be next chapter and will be much longer than this. I'll be starting to work on it very soon and it will be posted before Saturday. I'm sorry for this being such a short chapter but I promise to make up for it on the next one. A special thank you to my reviewers, SandraSmit19, Parvati Patil, Elf-Warrior-13, St.Elmo-Lover, HermioneandMarcus, and DarkHanyouKagome. Your comments mean a lot to me and your opinions will be put to good use next chapter ;-).
