Chapter Six: The Return
The sun was already starting to set while Natalie waited on the boardwalk.
Sam had went to his house to give his mom an excuse to stay with them for as long as they all needed, and for clothes. The Frog Bothers had gone to their house for clothes, and since Natalie had already gotten her things earlier, that left her alone on an ever darkening boardwalk.
As she grew more nervous, she starting constantly making sure a stake was in her boot. She glanced up at the sky, searching for vampires, also taking notice of the now dark sky.
"C'mon...hurry up," She muttered.
Natalie knew she could kill a vampire if she needed to, but she would feel a lot better with Alan around her. Plus, the fact that Edgar knew her secret didn't make her feel any better.
She glanced up and down the boardwalk, first to her left, then to her right. She did that once more, and gasped at something-no, someone-down the right. It only made her more nervous when she saw he had two more people behind him on similar motorcycles.
"Marko," He spoke to a biker behind him. Natalie felt her blood grow cold. She knew that voice! It was the same one that had gave her and her brother that one drink that night about a year ago.
David!
Sam knocked on the door to his house. Immediately, excuses ran through his head. He needed to find a good one if he was going to make his mother believe him. One good one stuck, and at the perfect time, too. Someone had answered the door.
"Sam! Hi!" Star greeted him.
"Oh, hey Star, just by chance...is my mom home?" He asked.
'Please don't be home...please don't be home.' He thought.
"No, actually. She is working down at the video store. Why, you need something?"
Sam shook his head.
"Nope, just tell her that I'm going to stay over the Frog Brothers for the week." He walked in the door now, walking past Star and into the living room.
Michael was on the couch, watching a football game anxiously.
"Let me guess...vampires already?" She said sarcastically.
"No, Santa Carla's pretty safe right now actually. It's just that we have a ton of movies to watch." Sam started walking towards the stairs to go up to his room for clothes.
"Don't think I'm just going to believe that, Sammy. What's really going on?" Michael questioned.
"No, really, that's what's going on," Sam replied, walking a little faster up the stairs.
"Uh huh." Michael replied disbelievingly, but he let his brother off the hook.
'At least it wasn't Mom...' Sam sighed as he walked into his room to gather clothes.
'How is he back? I thought he was dead!' She wondered frantically.
She went for the stake once more just in case they came by her.
'If they're still here, how am I human?'
Natalie glanced that way again. Terrified, she saw David turn his head and lock eyes with her. She wanted to turn away, but it was like he was holding her there. Like she needed to know he was back.
David's mouth turned into a smirk, and he started his bike.
'Please let that be just by chance! He can't notice me!' She pleaded in her mind.
Now David was starting to drive towards her. The bikes' engines echoed in her mind. They were the ones she had heard at the comic shop! She had stayed calm when she heard them then, just thinking they were biker, but now she knew.
The Lost Boys were back.
I decided to make this shorter than the other chapters because I'm writing this right before I have to go to school this morning...Plus, I wanted to give you guys a cliffhanger here. I feel oddly evil right now...haha.
See you next chapter!
