A/N : I've decided to add Edgar as a main character in the story because.. Well.. Everybody loves him J
Edgar lifted his head as he heard the soft thud of boots hit the floor of the comic book store that his parents owned. He looked at the customer and then over at his brother Alan, who he noticed was staring intently at whoever it was that came in, he could tell by the looks on his face that he obviously was judging whether or not it was a vampire. Edgar frowned and leaned across the comic book rack he was sorting through and studied who it was that had walked through the door. Edgar raised his eyebrows in surprise as he took in the person. It was a girl, she had very pale skin with dark black hair that made it look paler. There wasn't much blood in her cheeks and her lips were a pale pink. He noticed her pick up a comic book entitled "vampires everywhere!" , roll her eyes and place it back on the rack. Edgar dropped the comic in his hand onto the rack and walk toward the girl, as did Alan. After a few seconds the girl turned around and raised her eyebrow at them, "can I help you?" she asked frowning at them as she studied the two brothers.
"You're new around here," Edgar said in his usual deep voice.
"Yes I am," said the girl with an obvious hint of confusion in her voice.
"Notice anything unusual about Santa Carla yet?" asked Alan.
"Just you two," muttered the girl.
Edgar frowned looking at her pale face. He couldn't just ask her straight out if she was a vampire, he needed to find out himself. "You're pretty," he said looking at her seriously.
Blood rushed to the girls cheeks and Edgar smiled, "T-..thanks she stuttered obviously shy.
So she wasn't a vampire, he noticed Alan let out a sigh of relief too.
"I'm Edgar."
"Willow."
The both looked at Alan, he looked back at Willow, "Alan," he said then walked away from the two.
"Can I help you with anything" Edgar asked?
"Nah I'm just looking," Willow said with a shrug.
Edgar nodded, "So when'd you move here?"
"Tuesday," she said with a sigh.
"You don't like it here?" he frowned.
"It's ok,"she said with a shrug.
"You haven't met anyone yet?"
"Well there is this one guy.. David," she said biting her lip softly.
Edgar frowned, "Don't think I've met him. What's he look like?"
"Bleach blonde spiked mullet. Black clothes and the most amazing blue eyes," she said blushing again.
Edgar swallowed, "Oh.. That David," he said not meeting her eyes.
"Is… something wrong?" asked Willow.
"No no it's just,.. David is bad news."
"How?"
"He's just dangerous."
Willow frowned, she obviously liked David. But Edgar had, had more than one run in with David. He had a theory that he was a vampire and he knew he was right. But he couldn't just walk up and stake him although he'd really like that.
"Just.. Be careful around him," Edgar said touching her shoulder.
Willow blushed a tiny bit more and nodded, "Yeah I will," she said slowly.
Night fell quickly and Willow lying on her bed decided to go to the board walk that night hoping to see David again. Jumping off her bed, Willow grabbed her black trench coat and walked out her door and headed downstairs. Mattie looked up from his bowl of cereal at her as she reached the door, "Where are you going?" he asked her nosily.
Willow rolled her eyes, "Boardwalk," she muttered walking out the door and slamming it shut behind her. Shoving her hands in her pockets Willow thought about what Edgar had said to her. "David is bad news". Shaking away the thought, she walked faster down the road toward the boardwalk until she heard the familiar voice say her name. she stopped walking and turned around gasping slightly when she found David standing right behind her. "Hey Willow," he said with a smirk on his face.
Willow smiled as she finally regained her composure , "David," she said breathlessly.
"Where are you going?" he asked her softly brushing the side of her face causing chills to spill down her spine and her stomach to flip.
"Boardwalk."
"Great me too," he grinned crookedly and slipped his hand into hers.
Willow noticed something different about David that night. He was more confident, sure of himself. Willow didn't mind it though, in fact she liked it.
David looked down at her, "What'd you do today?"
"Um.. I went to the comic book store down at the boardwalk. Talked to the guys and hung out there for a while. They're pretty cool," she said with a smile, she already considered Edgar and Alan two of her friends. She'd spent most of the day with them there at their parents store. They tried to convince her of the existence of vampires, they seemed so serious about it.
"Those clowns?" David asked shaking his head laughing shortly.
Willow looked up at David and frowned, "I like them," she said quietly.
David nodded saying nothing more. Willow wondered if there was some sort of family difference between the Frogs and David. They didn't seem to like each other very much.
"Hey David?" she said softly breaking the silence.
"Yeah?" he said looking at her.
"why do you and the Frogs seem to hate each other so much?"
David shrugged, "we don't hate each other. They're just…idiots." he said with a laugh.
Willow rolled her eyes. "Right," she said shaking her head smiling.
