Gales' Bitter Moments

I wanted some time to myself, David rarely lets me out of his sights, it's been three months since getting fully turned and I felt like going somewhere other than the Boardwalk, so down the road I headed to a place I'd rode by not long after We thought that David and his group had ceased to exist, the people from school tend to come and hang out at the place, while I don't want much to do with them, I still wanted something different.

My luck though David and the rest aren't far behind I can sense them drawing closer and see their headlights in the distance down the road in my mirror, I know it's theirs and not a car, to many head lights and I can feel them along this strange invisible link that I have no idea how to even describe it, it's just there, I always feel them and the strength of that feeling depends on how close we are to each other. I also find it strange to feel their emotions and when one of them is hurt. It's getting easier thought to be able to ignore these feelings, David is the one I sense the strongest, when I question this, the answer was that he made me, so the connection will always be strongest with him, only thing stronger than a bond between fledgling and the sire is the mate bond. So, Gale mates me, I'd feel sense her far more stronger than I do David or any of the others. David's right, I'm not ready for that, I'm barely getting a handle on the current strength of what I feel from them. I don't want that kind of intimacy, not now.

I pull up into a road house and get off my bike. Mine wasn't the only one in the lot as other bikers visit this place and soon four other bikes pulled up around mine, Gale hopping off from behind David.

" So sunshine, you just gonna leave us like that?" Gale walks up with a devils grin on her face and then ruffles her hand threw my hair.

" I just wanted to do something different." And maybe on my own? Get away from them? But then I felt some sort of comfort with the groups presence so near me, I'm far from insecure, so that's another thing that made this change odd, I'm growing insecure when there's to much distance between me and the guys. I want away from them, I was forced to be one of them, but then I don't at the same time and I have a feeling that this strange dependance will only be worse with time.

The guys dismount their bikes as I turn to enter the building, Gale latches onto my arm, I let her, I'm not one to force a girl off me, even one that's a little to obsessed with getting laid by me... OK maybe even less likely to push away a girl that wants to get laid by me, well if she's hot, or has some looks and gales not a dog. Not that looks is the only thing, Gale has nice tits, uh intelligence.

On entering I'm greeted with stale odors, beer, sweat, food and cigarette smoke and any other scent that hung in the air, I decided breathing as little as I could would be welcomed. I hear some chuckles and look to my left, at some booth is a group from the Santa Carla High football team, along with their flaky girl friends. One of them looks our way and nudges the guy in his school jacket, blond, blue eyes, short well kept hair, the guy might be smart, but he acted like a stereotype ass hole jock, I named him Jock Strap.

" Hey, look it's Gale the drop out and look no surprise who she dropped out with, the freak new guy." Jock Strap mouths off.

" Hey Gale go blow away, you're way to lame to be out here, take your freak boy friend with you." The bimbo in the hot pants and pink tank top with Jock Strap spouts out at Gale.

Maybe it was not the best idea to come here, I can feel the rage Gale suddenly has, it was obvious this bimbo was a source of bullying for Gale and being met with it again in her current state only makes her hunger for revenge, I can sense that she's about to loose control over her appearance so I throw my jacket around her, and hug her to me, she is to angered to stop herself from shifting right here and wouldn't be a good thing for it to be witnessed.

" Hey, Jock Strap, see your owner accidentally left their door open so that you could wonder the neighborhood and give all the other dogs fleas." My eyes went from him to the rest he sat with in the booth when I said other dogs, they just didn't seem to find my joke funny, well I did. I smirked at the group. " And look, you came sniffing around a bitch in heat to." I say, giving the bimbo that had angered Gale a pointed look.

" What you say punk!" Jock Strap was out of his chair and pushed me. " Lets take this... " Jock Strap turns white as he sees who entered the building.

David and the rest had followed and the group at the table hadn't noticed them being focused on me and gale till David came up behind and leaned his arm on my shoulder.

" Don't want no trouble in here." The man at the bar says.

" There wont be trouble in here, I believe Jock Strap wanted to go outside." David leans on my shoulder, I can feel his anger for who he considers one of his own being insulted, and that Gale has been angered to the point she's starting to loose control. " So, lets go out side kiddies." David sneers when Jock Strap stumbles back into his seat and the group all watch nervously. Didn't matter what they believed, everyone in that school knew you didn't dare cross The Lost Boys.

David pulled away from me and then grabbed Gale, wrapping and arm around her and hugging her to him, letting his coat fall over her to shield her from sight along with my jacket that's still over her. " See you latter, boys and girl." Davids eyes landed on the bimbo, who now looked a little green, there was two other girls, dates of the other two boys, but David had only said girl, not including the others, making her his focus. They knew that earning Davids singular focus on any of them meant they're screwed. The one that wanted to fight me was a nuisance, not something to care about at the moment, but the girl was marked for punishment, the rest will be spared at least as long as they don't interfere and Jock Strap will get his dues soon enough.

**** Parking Lot ****

No one came out with us, not a surprise, we circled Gale to block her from sight while David tried to calm her enough to be able to control her appearance. He was stroking her, making some kind of murmuring sound, almost like a mumble, but he wasn't talking, likely he was having a private mental talk to calm her along with the noise.

Then we're all included in this little talk.

:: What do you want to do to her?:: David opened this up to us, probably because we would likely all be included in making the bimbo pay.

:: Ruin that pretty face of hers!:: Gales' voice was full of venom. :: I want her to know what it's like to have her looks taken away and to feel pain!:: Gale really hated this girl, but then the bimbo had bullied Gale constantly even when Gale gotten sick and was undergoing treatments.

Gale turns towards me and stuffs her face into my chest this time not out of need to hide, but comfort and even as a vampire I'm still a sucker for distraught females and couldn't refuse her, so I wrap my arms around her and hold her. David had calmed her enough to get her to change back, so there was no longer the worry of her being spotted in her true form.

:: So what's the plan?:: Dwayne Looks to David, waiting the answer.

:: All in good time, give them enough time to wait.:: David pops a cigaret into his mouth and lights the thing up.

We stood outside, doing much of nothing, most the talk stayed telepathically, the group didn't come out while we stood there, not a surprise, though we weren't waiting around for them, we just wasn't going to up and leave right then. After thirty minutes we went back inside, mostly to watch David and Paul go at it at the pool table.
