I do not own Lost Boys. I only own Anastasia and her Aunt Becky.

Nights passed by with no problem, except for the fact that Aunt Becky and Max has gotten closer. "David is Max a vampire?" I asked one night while we were laying around the cave. David looked at me with an unreadable look. "Don't lie to me," I said with a slight growl. I had been annoyed lately because of how close Max and my Aunt were becoming. David sighed and said, "Yes Max is a vampire, and he is the vampire that created the boys and I." I growled and started pacing around the room. "Ana what's wrong?" Dwayne asked. "What does Max want with my Aunt?" I asked completely ignoring Dwayne's question. "I don't know," David said with a shrug. "He better not hurt her," I said while thinking of horrible things I would do to Max if he hurt Aunt Becky. David motioned for me to come over and I went and stood in front of him. He grabbed me and pulled me into his lap. "David let me go," I said angry. "Nope," he said and trapped me in his arms. I growled and crossed my arms across my chest and pouted. All of the guys laughed, and David messed up my hair. "Can you let go now?" I asked but I again was answered with a no. For some reason something was giving me a really bad feeling. I tried to shake off the feeling, but it wouldn't go away. David noticed my body was stiff and he tried to soothe me by and it involved someone I cared about. I just rested in David's lap and tried to think of what was going to happen. I prayed that nothing happened to my Aunt, but it just seemed like a evil presence was all around her. All of the guys stared at me strange when they saw me all zoned out. Paul started snapping his fingers in my face, and I ignored him. Then he started poking my forehead, and I couldn't ignore him anymore. I snapped at his finger and he fell to the floor in surprise. I laughed and hopped up from David's lap. Paul growled as everyone started laughing and he chased me around the cave. "You'll never catch me," I yelled as I sped away from Paul. He growled and increased his speed. I ducked around a corner, and he ran right by my hiding spot. After a minute I ran out of my hiding spot only to be tackled by Paul. Paul started to tickle me, and I felt like I would die laughing. "Stop please," I begged as tears came to my eyes from laughing so hard. Paul finally quit but then he poked me in the forehead again. "Loser," I yelled as he walked off. I stood up and dusted myself off. "Well I'm tired so goodnight," I said to the guys and started walking to the sleeping area. All of the guys yelled goodnight, but David came to join me. "Is everything alright?" he asked as he walked beside me. "Yeah everything is fine," I said offhandedly. He growled lowly and pushed me against the cave wall, with me trapped between him and the wall. "Seriously what is bothering you?" he asked his eyes turned to their alluring vampire red. "I'm just worried about my Aunt," I said truthfully as I downcast my eyes so I wouldn't be staring in his intense gaze. He raised my chin with his hand so I could be looking back into his eyes. They were no longer red, but their normal ice blue. He sighed and caressed my cheek. I leaned into his touch and gave a sad smile. "It'll be okay," he said as he kissed my forehead. He brought his face closer where our noses were touching. I always felt so safe when I was around David. Butterflies were flying around in my stomach as I brought my lips to his in a sweet kiss. He smiled into the kiss and made the kiss deeper. I pulled away after a few minutes and smiled. David pouted because I pulled away, but I kissed his cheek and flew up to the cave ceiling to sleep. David soon joined me and the guys came up moments later.
That night I tried to dream of Aunt Becky, but there was always a black shadow covering her. It gave me a horrible feeling. Laughter was heard in my dreams, and right before I woke up I saw Max's face and he was laughing evilly. I woke up and flew out of the cave and sat down at the edge of the cliff. Tears spilled out of my eyes because of the fear that was spreading through my veins. I was shaking as memories from my dream came back to me. The guys were all waking up now, and I tried to calm down. "Hey Ana what are you doing?" Marko yelled as the guys walked out of the cave. "Oh just sitting," I said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. The guys laughed while Marko growled. I stood up and walked over to the guys. I patted Marko on the head and jumped on David's back. "Yay piggyback ride," I said as I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. David started to tickle my sides and I fell off his back. Dwayne caught me before I could touch the ground. "Thanks Dwayne," I said as he set me on my own two feet. Dwayne nodded and got onto his motorcycle. The other guys followed his example and got on their bikes too. "Come on we're going to the boardwalk," David said as he motioned for me to get on the back of his bike. "Alright," I said as I got on David's bike and we all headed to the boardwalk.
It was so exhilarating to ride with the guys. Trees passed by so quickly and so close that it seemed you would crash into them. I clung tighter to David and breathed in his scent. He smelled of blood, lust, power, and danger. I loved it and never wished for it to disappear. We arrived at the boardwalk and I hopped off of David's bike. People looked at the guys and me in fear. Little children hid behind their mother's legs to escape our sight, but I just smiled at everyone. Some people became less frightened when they saw my smile. I did not want people to fear me. Even though they really should still be afraid for their own safety. While we were walking around the boardwalk I heard the laugh of Aunt Becky. I spun around and saw a horrifying sight. Aunt Becky and Max were walking hand in hand. Flashes of my nightmare came to my mind. I dropped to my knees on the ground and started breathing erratically. David and the guys gave me a worried look, and David bent down in front of me. I could no longer see Max and Becky anymore. I started to panic and hyperventilate while trying to spot them while looking around David. David placed his hands on my face to stop me from looking. "Ana calm down, what's wrong?" he asked me as he started into my eyes. It felt like he was searching inside me for the answers. "I have to save her," I said franticly as I gave him a pleading look. "Save whom?" he asked as he placed his hands on my shoulders. "My Aunt, I have to get her away from Max," I said as tears came to my eyes. "Away from who?" he asked as he too became worried when he saw how worked up I was getting. "Marko, Paul, and Dwayne go find Max and Becky. Do not let them see you. When you find them I want one of you to come back and tell me," David ordered. The three vanished as they went to search. "But I need to go look too," I said but David just scooped me up into his arms to stop me from joining the search. "Sorry but you are staying with me," he said with a stern look in his crystallized eyes. There was no hope of me slipping from his grasp, so I just prayed that one of the guys would find my Aunt unharmed. David set me down on one of the benches close by and he sat down beside me. The feel of terror would not leave me. It was as if a black cloud was all around me and there was no way to escape its clutches. I felt so helpless. It seemed like the world just wanted to punish me further.
With every moment that passed the more anxiety I experienced. Finally Dwayne appeared and said, "Max has taken your Aunt to his home." I jumped up from my position on the bench and said, "Well let's go. The longer we wait the worse the outcome for my Aunt." "How do you know something bad is going to happen?," David asked as he stood up. "I had a strange dream last night, and I swear it was a premonition of what is to come. I just want to get Aunt Becky far away from here," I answered truthfully as I shook in fear for my Aunt's safety. "Please," I begged as I wished to hurry my Aunt's side. David searched my eyes for any lies, and he didn't find any. He shrugged his shoulders and Dwayne took that as a symbol to show us the way. We flew so fast that I couldn't even distinguish what all we passed.
We arrived at a beautiful house that was surrounded by shrubbery and beautiful flowers. I dismissed my thoughts about Max's hoe and concentrated about Becky. I didn't smell any of her blood so I knew that everything was still alright. Paul and Marko soon joined us. I started to walk toward the house, but David stopped me. "What is," I started to say, but David cut me off by placing his finger on my lips. Laughter was heard as Aunt Becky and Max emerged from the front door. I wanted to go over to get Becky away from him, but I knew that David wouldn't allow me to. Max lead Becky toward the cliff that was by his property. "It's beautiful," Aunt Becky said as she leaned her head on Max's shoulder. "See there is nothing wrong," David said to me in my mind. There was still a bad vibe to the situation that I couldn't brush off. "We're leaving," David said to me again in my thoughts. I refused to leave this spot. There was no way that I was going to leave my Aunt with this monster. "I'm also a monster," I thought sadly, but was shaken from my thoughts when I heard Max say, "It seems we have an audience."
David and the guys all froze in their spots. Max and Becky were staring at us, but Becky's eyes were glazed over. "What did you do to her?" I yelled as I glared at him. I started walking toward him with the intent to hurt him beyond repair, but David stopped me by wrapping his arms around my waist. I was getting tired of him stopping me. "Let go," I said as I struggled, but his grip was still too strong for me to break. Max laughed and said, "Why, I did nothing to her." Max laughed after telling his obvious lie and Becky started to laugh too, but the real Becky I knew was no longer there. "Hello Anastasia. I never offered to let you stay with me. You have caused me more trouble than you are worth you stupid bitch," Aunt Becky said with malice. Her words ripped my heart into shreds, but I knew it wasn't really her saying this. "You don't mean that," I said as I tried to escape David's vice-like hold. "I never loved you," Aunt Becky said as she started backing up closer to the cliff's edge. Panic set in with every step she took. "Let go," I begged as tears started to form at the corner of my eyes. David released me at the same time Aunt Becky plunged over the cliff's edge. "No," I screamed as I flew over the cliff's edge trying to catch her. Max's maniacal laughter filled the entire area. It sent chills down my spine and it snapped Becky from her trance. Becky looked up at me with confused and terrified eyes. I caught her in my arms before she crashed into the deadly rocks below. Becky clung to me tightly as I flew away from Max's abode. Max's laugh still echoed through the night sky. All of the guys started flying behind me and Becky let out quiet sobs. "Shh, It's alright now," I cooed into her ear to calm her. Aunt Becky nodded her head and her sobs subdued quickly. I landed on a deserted beach and set Aunt Becky down. "I thought he was a good guy, but he was a monster," Becky said as she wiped the tears off of her cheeks. I gave her a sympathetic look and pulled her into a hug. "You're safe now. I'll never let him hurt you again," I said reassuringly. David and the guys watched us from a distance. "I want to leave. I want to get as far away as I can," Becky said as she looked at the guys skeptically.
I felt my heart break as I realized that she would not be able to be alone. I would have to move with her, and that meant leaving David, Paul, Marko, and Dwayne. "Please Ana we need to leave this place," Becky pleaded as she grabbed my hand. Her form was shaking uncontrollably. I looked back to David, but only saw an unreadable expression on his face. All of the other guys had a sad expression. My heart clenched at having to leave one person I care about or leaving four people I also care about. The guys accepted me into their lifestyle and made me feel like I was needed. "Alright but I have to tell you something first," I said as a tear escaped. Aunt Becky looked at me and waited for what I was going to say. "Promise you won't freak out?" I asked her seriously and Becky nodded. "I'm a vampire," I whispered seriously with no emotion. "You are like Max," Aunt Becky said and she scooted back in fear. "No I'm nothing like that freak," I said as I reached out and grabbed her wrist. Becky stopped and let the information sink in. "If I were to go with you than it would be a hard and strange life. We would be awake at different times, and I don't think you'll like my choice of food," I said with a little chuckle. This made Aunt Becky smile a bit and she pulled me into a hug. "It's alright I'm sure we can work it out," Becky said. I smiled but frowned when the thought of having to leave struck me again. "Dwayne will you and Paul take Aunt Becky home and protect her until I get there," I asked as I lowered my head as a tear slid down my cheek. "I'll go too," Marko said as they flew off with my Aunt clinging tightly to Dwayne. I would have laughed if I wasn't about to cry. "David I don't want to leave you," I whispered as David sat down beside me and pulled me into an embrace. More tears fell down my cheeks and his pale hand wiped them off with his thumb. "I don't want you to leave either, but your Aunt needs you right now. Come back soon. A few years will be hard, but I can wait that long if I have to. If I have to wait any longer I'll hunt you down, and bring you back myself," David said as he pulled my chin up where I was now looking into his icy eyes. What use to hold so many cold feelings now held and radiated warmth and affection? I laugh at the thought of him hunting me down and David smiled. I kissed him lightly on the lips, but he deepened it into a kiss filled with all of his love and passion. After a few moments the kiss was broken, and I let silent tears fall as I stayed in the safety of his arms. An hour later David and I went to my Aunt's house and Aunt Becky rushed at me and pulled me into a bone crushing hug as I stepped through the door. "I was worried that Max might attack you," Becky said as she made sure I didn't have any limbs missing. "I'm fine," I said as I pulled from her hug. Becky started throwing more things into boxes as she said, "I have another house over with relatives in London, so the flight is set, and I've already packed everything. We'll be leaving tonight." I showed her a small smile, but I was crying on the inside. "Can I have a moment with the guys?" I asked as I wiped a tear from my cheek. "Sure," Becky said as she disappeared upstairs. All of the guys each pulled me into a big hug and told me how much they would miss me, and that they too wanted me to return soon. I smiled and they all wiped the tears running down my cheeks away. "I'm going to miss you guys a lot, but don't worry you'll definitely see me again," I said as I gave them a smirk as if to say that you'll never get rid of me. All of the guys laughed a little and I gave them each one final hug and a kiss on the cheek. When I came to hug David he pulled me into a fiery kiss that left me breathless. He broke the kiss and whispered in my ear, "Don't forget us, and you better come back soon or I will come get you." I let out a small laugh and said, "I won't forget. You better not forget about me either." "I could never forget you," he said and gave me one more loving kiss and released me. I never wanted to leave him, but I couldn't desert my Aunt with the fear that Max might come after her. "Ana it's time to go," Aunt Becky said as she appeared at the top of the stairs. "Alright," I said as I grabbed a suitcase that Aunt Becky had placed by the doorway and we all excited the house, and Aunt Becky locked the house up. She would probably sell it if she likes London better. I put my suitcase into the car and than Becky and I got in the car. I smiled to the guys and received sad smiles in return. Becky started the car and headed to the airport. The whole drive the guys were flying overhead of us. I longed to fly with them one last time, but I knew Aunt Becky was already freaked out enough. We arrived at the airport, but the guys were nowhere to be found. I gave a sad sigh and helped bring the luggage into the airport.
Now I'm sitting on a plane that is about to depart to London, and Aunt Becky is seated beside me. "Ana I'm sorry about all this. If only I hadn't met Max than we wouldn't have to leave," Becky said with a voice filled with grief. "It's okay. Everything will turn out for the better," I said as I gave her the most optimistic face I could manage. Becky smiled and started talking to one of the flight attendants. I looked out my window and saw David and the guys all smiling and waving goodbye. I waved back and tried not to cry. The pilot's voice came over the intercom saying we were about to leave. At that moment I heard David's voice in my mind. "I love you Anastasia, come back soon." I couldn't believe that he had said that. Tears spilled down my cheeks as I said to him, "I love you too David, and I'll come back to you as soon as I can. I love you with all my heart, and no one will be able to take that away." I saw him smile and a few tears ran down his cheeks as the plane took off. As we ascended into the clouds my tears wouldn't stop. I finally found someone that loved me for me, but now I had to leave them. Only fate will tell when I'll be able to go back to the love of my life.
