A loud bang echoed throughout the entire house, followed by footsteps rushing up the stairs. I opened my eyes and looked at my surrounding. I was still half asleep so I couldn't function what had just happened until my bedroom door burst open.
"You idiot!" My dad roared with laughter as he noticed I was lying next to my bed. Yes..that's right, I fell out of my bed and hadn't even noticed.
I didn't say anything all I did was smile. I could hear my dad still laughing to himself and he left my room, leaving me to get up and get ready. I grabbed my clock and looked at the time, 10:30. I sighed and placed my head onto the ground and curled myself into a ball. To me, 10:30 was early. I didn't care that I was still on the floor. I let out a yawn and closed my eyes.
I only had an hours worth of sleep after the incident, well I had no choice as my dad was calling my name saying that my grandma wanted to speak to him. 'Meh' I said to myself before finally getting up off of the floor and heading downstairs. As I entered the kitchen I could hear my dad telling grandma how I had fallen out of the bed, he acted as if it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Jeez, he needed to get over it. He smiled at me before handing me the phone.
"Hey grandma" I mumbled as I rubbed my eyes.
"Good morning , did you sleep well?" She asked adding a little giggle at the end.
"Fine thank you, how are you?" I smiled up at my dad as he placed a plate of pancakes in front of me.
Whilst I ate my breakfast, my grandma was making sure that I had a good first day in santa carla. My dad had already told her about Madison and how he was happy I had made a friend on my first day. Memories came flooding back to me from the previous night and I only thought of one person. Marko. I barely knew him, but there was a strange attraction to him. Normally, I don't go for bad boys but there was something about him. I really hoped I would see him again later on that day after I had seen Madison.
"Chandler is by far the best character from Friends!" Madison blurted out.
"I'm going to have to disagree with you, I think Joey is!" I argued back as I stole a chip from her.
I had spent all day with Madison, she didn't have to work during the day which was good, at least I didn't have to be stuck alone. Even though I hated shopping, that's what we both ended up doing for most of the day as I needed more clothes. She picked out most of my outfits and I have to say she had great style, obviously I had picked out a few but they weren't as 'out there' as Madison's choices were.
"Can you believe it's half 9 already!" I exclaimed looking at my watch.
"I best get to work before I get fired!" Madison joked and stoop up. "I'll speak to my boss about giving you a job there!"
"Oh no Madison you don't have to-" I began to protest.
"Shut up, I'm doing it! Same time tomorrow?" She asked and I nodded, watching her jog off to the diner.
I began to scan the crowd in search of Marko, but he was nowhere to be seen. I huffed and decided to make my way down to the beach. In the distance, the sound of motorcycles could be heard approaching the boardwalk. I didn't take any notice of it. Once I had slipped of my shoes, I picked them up and began to walk towards the ocean. The sand was soft against my feet but cold, that's how I liked it. I found a spot a couple of inches away from the ocean and decided to sit there.
I looked out towards the ocean, it was such a pretty colour during the day but at night it looked dark and dull. As I watched the waves come and go, I started to daydream, blocking out my surroundings.
"Penny for your thoughts?" I heard a familiar voice say from next to me and I'm not going to lie my heart fluttered. I looked beside me to see Marko, hiding a smirk behind his fist.
"Oh I'm sorry" I apologised, trying my best to not smile but failed miserably.
"It's fine...Reina?" He asked, hoping he had gotten my name right
"Yes Reina well done" I giggled causing him to smirk.
"I told you I'd see you tonight" He teased.
"Aaaa well done, you were right" I sarcastically replied. We both sat in an awkward silence for a couple of minutes before he stood up. After brushing the sand off of his clothes he held his hand out towards me. I gave him a confusing look and he chuckled.
"Would you like to go for a ride?" He asked.
"Oh no thank you, I went on a few earlier and-" I stopped speaking when he laughed at me. His laugh was adorable..so was he. 'Stop it Reina!' I thought to myself.
"No silly, a ride on my motorcycle?" Boy did I sound stupid. I gave the idea a quick thought but thought that it would be best not to go.
"I think it's best I stay on the boardwalk, my dad would kill me if he found out" I explained giving him an apologetic look. The smile on his face dropped at my rejection. I felt extremely bad.
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him" I opened my mouth to speak but as I did our eyes locked. I got lost in Marko's eyes, they were so pretty, hypnotizing almost. I then gave the idea another thought. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, plus we probably wouldn't be gone for that long. You only live once right? I looked up at him, smiling a somewhat evil smile and earned one back from him. I took a hold of his hand, brushing sand off of myself and let him lead me towards his bike.
As we walked past the crowds of people, I began to notice that they all seemed to step away from Marko, some even had fear in their eyes. I paid no attention to it, although it made me feel good that I was with a 'Bad Boy'. Once we had reached his bike, I noticed there were three other bikes. I gave him a confused look and he understood what I was referring to. Marko explained to me that they belonged to his brothers. I nodded and waited for him to get on. I stood in an awkward position, I had never came this close to a motorbike before, nevermind riding on one, I was extremely nervous.
"What's the matter?" Marko asked as he realised I wasn't on yet.
"I've umm I've never been on one of these before" I admitted, looking down at my feet. I knew my face had gone red from embarrassment. Marko grinned and then told me how to get on. Once I was behind him I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist, already afraid that I was going to fall off and possibly break a bone or two.
"I guess I don't need to tell you to hold on" He joked as he turned to face me. I laughed slightly and he revved the engine. 'Oh boy' A voice in my head squeaked and before I could say anything we took off.
Marko didn't go too fast because I guess he kinda of knew that I was nervous but he didn't exactly go at the speed of a car either. I couldn't help but let out a smile as the cold air hit my face, and the wind blew my hair into a mess. I held onto him a little tighter as he turned corners. I leaned my head onto his back, trying to get some warmth and it seemed to work a tiny bit. It wasn't long before the bike started to slow down, finally coming to a stop opposite a light house. Marko got off of the bike, giving me a chance to finally catch my breath, he then helped me of.
"Where are we?" I asked
"This is my favourite place, I come here when I need time to think about things" He explained, putting his fist up to his mouth covering his lips.
"So you just stand here and think?" I asked raising my eyebrow and he shook his head and pointed to the top of the light house. "You're kidding!"
"Nope, come on it's completely safe" He reassured me and took ahold of my hand, leading me towards the lighthouse. I noticed a ladder that led to the top of the light house. This was going to be a problem as I was scared of heights. I turned to look at him.
"Actually Marko I like the ground a lot better and-" By now I was shaking, I really didn't want to go up there.
"Hey, it's ok I'm right behind you, I won't let you fall...I promise" I looked into his eyes and smiled before turning and climbing the ladder. It was as if I gained this new confidence, mainly because I could hear Marko right behind me. The ladder seem to go on forever and I was so glad when I finally reached the top.
-Sam's P.O.V-
"Have they bothered you at all?" I asked Alan as I placed a cup of coffee in front of him, he thanked me and took a sip from him. I then did the same with Edgar.
"Nah, they stuck to their deal but it's hard to stick to ours" Alan told me.
"They're still killing innocent people!" Edgar added banging his fist on the table in anger.
"Edgar chill, look I know that you hunt them to kill them but our lives were at stake!" I told him.
It had been a long time since the incident with the Lost Boys and Max, it was a part of my teenage years that I could never forget. Until 1987 I never knew that vampires existed. Max somehow changed Mike, Star and Laddie back to humans and the deal was we leave them be, they leave us be. It was a hard decision to make for us all, we could've killed them, but at the same time we could've been the ones to die.
"In my opinion, you're putting your daughter's life at stake!" He spat. "How would you feel if they got her! They don't know she's your child"
"Edgar stop!" Alan warned. But Edgar ignored him.
"No! If we had killed them in the first place, you wouldn't have to be so protective over Reina! How can you call yourself a responsible parent when you are putting your daughter in a huge amount of danger?" At that point I lost it, I stood up and got in Edgar's face.
"I have done everything to make sure my little girl was safe, even before I came back to Santa Carla! And I would die before I let anything happen to her, have you got that?I moved back here for my job so I could give her a house to live in, food to eat and a bed to sleep in. So don't go questioning my actions as a father Edgar!" I screamed.
"Then where is she now Sam?" Edgar asked
-Reina's P.O.V-
Me and Marko had been sat on top of the lighthouse for about 2 hours. I had gotten to know him a little better and I told him about why I moved her from Phoenix. I was never use to opening up to strangers but I felt like I could trust Marko in a way, I felt comfortable with him, I felt safe. He would tease me now and then and I would do the same back. I felt like I had known him for a long time when in reality I had only known him for a day.
"It's getting late, I better take you home" The smile that was on my face disappeared but I nodded, knowing that I did have to go home else my dad would freak out.
We climbed down from the light house and got on his bike. I gave him directions to my home and he took off, the ride back seemed a lot shorter than on the way to the lighthouse. I didn't want to leave him, it was a weird feeling that I had but it was true. I'm never usual one to like someone this much after only knowing them for a day.
As he parked outside of my house, we both noticed at car. As I climbed off of the bike I saw Marko's reaction, he stared at the car as if he recognised it from somewhere, I didn't want to question him.
"Thanks for tonight Marko" I said.
"It was my pleasure!" He smiled. I went to talk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me abit closer to him. He wasn't going to kiss me was he? "Where's my hug?" He asked. I giggled and he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into a tight yet friendly hug. The hug lasted about five seconds before he let go, he then revved his engine and sped off, but not without waving good bye.
Okay so this chapter is a little longer than the last two, thankfully. The next update will be up soon. I would also like to thank crazyluv15 for the review, I really do appreciate it :) xo
