Sorry folks for the delay on a third chapter. I've been majorly busy. I had written the third one but was trying to work out the perfect close for this one. I'll try to work on the fourth chapter by tonight with the help of watching the movie. Once again, I do NOT own the Lost Boys. To go on, enjoy!
The following evening, before sunset darkened the horizon and calm ocean waves, David reminisced inside the main room of their crumbling lot. He found familiar sheer laces and beds that were set for both Star and Laddie; deep down, David had regretted tricking Star and eventually, once Michael had gradually stolen her heart, David felt out of luck. He sat down on the broken fountain pondering his choice to go back to the boardwalk. Perhaps, seeing Star gave him some form of light.
But, he was more than curious to find out about the girl that seemed more than willing to stand there to allow his eyes to travel over her silhouette. He also remembered that Star stayed close by as though she were with that girl; hunting down David in all his vulnerability.
He decided to keep things quiet from his carefree brothers and left the lot to leave them be to sleep a minute or two more without him. He'd go to the boardwalk, go to his usual spot and to see if he was inevitably mistaken about both.
A lively night embraced every shop. David reluctantly had his first meal after many days; a simple choice, a drunkard sitting beneath the boardwalk near the captivatingly calm shore. With the thrill of the concert playing that night, David had full advantage of concealing his prey's fatal cry.
With his mouth dripping with fresh blood and his eyes amber, David made his way into the crowd, hidden brilliantly from the excitement that he generously wiped his mouth. He focused his attention to the women leaping to and fro with the beat of the music. When he came around to meet his brothers back on boardwalk, someone brushed lightly against his arm.
He swung round.
A hand reached over to clasp over his throat. Star stood in front of him with the most opposite of smiles. Her hair came smoother this night, and eyes lighter in color. She was never truly lost to the blood he'd given her. David stared back at her, his brows furrowed. He could do nothing more, not even speak the slightest tone.
"As we meet again after years." Her hand loosened from his throat; supposedly, to keep their conversation away from curious eye. Star had every approval to harm David after what he did to her.
"Where is Laddie, you were so attached to that boy."
–"He is gone."
David's tried his best to not reveal a smile because he knew that tricking Laddie would mean far worse than Star; after all, Child Vampires, though rare, were not approved, not even by Max. He risked everything for Star before then. "For good?"
"No," Star continued without drawing breath. "He is safe with . ." Her voice trailed off.
David noticed that Star averted her attention to the right. As David's fair blue eyes followed he saw what was bothering her. There were three of them: two men and. . the girl. Her hunter green eyes were infuriated by some meaning he had not known. She wore the same outfit he seemed to favor the evening before. She approached the two, her face lit.
"Come along, we have less time to have an intervening conversation."
Star glared down at the girl. "May I have just one word without you butting in, please?"
The girl gave the faintest grumble and turned to leave when David asked her to stay. His interest with her rose further, no longer needing Star to ignite the dying fire.
"What is your name?"
The girl placed her hands behind her back. "I'm not in liberty to give my name to anyone but, with no choice, you will know me only as Jade." said the girl while emphasizing with her lifted finger.
Her eyes dove back to Star. "I'm guessing that you failed to do what I asked you to do."
Star swallowed back her words. Her cheeks flushed from her recent kill. "Must you be wherever I go?"
"It is not my choice to follow the blood trails you, or any others like yourself, leave behind uncaring and as I've recalled that you nearly ended your own life from leaving everything behind."
Star hissed, her face inches from Jade's. Though, she had to bend slightly to threaten her. "Don't talk to me as if you own me."
Jade shifted her head to the side, arching her lips into a smirk. Star, like every other Vampires hardly kept with their hygiene, especially since they were who they were and cared not for impression.
"On the contrary, I do not own you, personally." Jade kept her eyes focused on Star. Her face passive. "There is a probation period for cowardly, over-the-top, vampires like yourself who leave behind their garbage."
"What is going on?" David asked.
"There is no room for discussion," Jade turned to the men behind her and gestured for them to remove Star from the boardwalk. They did, obediently. Star had not let up to fight and went, leaving David dumbfounded. His eyes flared with blue fire.
