Disclaimer Don't own anything Lost Boys. Just my characters.
Sorry it's taken so long to get this up. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with this but I worked it out. Plus I'm working on my other two Lost Boys stories at the same time so hopefully a chapter for each of those should be up soon as well.
Bold Italic = Dream/vision
Love Bites chapter 11
"You want to what?! Are you nuts? I am not letting you do that!"
"You can't leave it like that." David said holding her arm. "I have to pop it back in."
"I'd rather it hang." She mumbled.
"Nice to see she's back to herself." Cody added.
"Hey Raven. Look." Raven turned her attention to Angel who was in the corner doing something stupid. No sooner had she turned her head David had taken her arm and shoved her shoulder back in its socket. She let out a scream and shot him a look. Slowly she moved her arm up and down.
"Someone mind filling me in."
"Well since you asked so nicely Romeo. After Angel and I left you on you little date, and I swear you do anything to hurt her and you will be in a world of hurt, Angel and I separated and I went to the beach I ran into Joseph. I think he has something to do with those kids. He mentioned something about wanting me to join him and his friends. That they were going to take over Santa Carla and destroy anyone in their way. He didn't want to see that happen to me so he gave me the chance to join him. I refused and he got angry. That's when the fight began. The last thing I remember was calling for David."
"What do you mean taking over Santa Carla?" David said arching an eyebrow.
"I don't know he was kind of being an ass. Besides he didn't go into specifics." By now the others had walked off into another part of the cave.
David sat in his chair deep in thought. Raven sat nearby on the edge of the fountain absentmindedly floating a pebble in the air. Looking up at David she noticed a look of concern. One he would never show when the others were around. She stood and began to walk over to him causing him to look up.
"What is it David, what's wrong?"
He walked up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her head. "I'll explain later. It's complicated princess. Go, get some rest."
Raven pulled David along behind her over to the spot where she slept. David had never shown her how he and the boys slept in the other part of the cave. He would one day but not tonight. She laid on the bed and pulled him down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close, she laid her head against his chest as he stroked her hair. Soon both were asleep as the first rays of dawn began to rise outside.
Raven stood in what looked like an empty space, almost like a white room surrounded by a fog. Looking around she couldn't see much and had no idea where she was. She began to walk through the mist trying to figure out where she was when she heard someone speak.
"Is that her?" One voice echoed through the fog.
"Patients, we don't know yet." Another added.
"If it is David knows how to pick 'em. She puts Star to shame. This one is hot!" Yet another added.
"Don't mention that name!" The second one said through gritted teeth.
"Hello, who's there?" Raven asked walking through the fog trying to find the people the voices belonged to. "Who's there?" she mumbled out loud as she laid in David's arms tossing and turning.
"You think she can do it?"
"Where are you? Who are you?" She called again. "Who are you?" she spoke again as she nuzzled up against David.
Suddenly she felt a light touch brush against her hand like the mist was moving around her, almost leading her.
"Don't worry we wont hurt you."
"We know David. We brought you here to help us babe."
She looked a bit confused. "He didn't tell her, she don't know about us."
"It might help if I knew what you were talking about."
"We can't keep her here much longer."
"Dude tell her about the bottle."
"Raven. There's a bottle. . ."
"The jeweled one?" She asked.
"She knows it, YES!"
"Of course I know it. It's the one David gave me to drink."
"It's in the corner in a little niche near the Jim Morrison poster. You need to drink from it again."
"Why?"
"You'll see babe."
Raven opened her eyes the next night and rolled over. She rubbed her temples and began mumbling to herself. "What the hell was that about?" She reached over and noticed David was no longer next to her. Standing she stretched as she walked into the main part of the cave. Angel turned around from some trouble he was getting himself into to notice she was up.
"Well look who rejoined the land of the dead."
"Ha ha, funny. Isn't it supposed to be the land of the living?"
"Well we ain't exactly living are we little miss literal."
"Touche." She replied as she plopped down on one of the old beat up couches.
"Who were you talking to last night?" David said.
"What do you mean you were the last person I was talking to."
"In your sleep. You were tossing and turning and talking in your sleep."
"I was dreaming. I don't know who they were. To tell you the truth I don't even remember most of it. Let me guess Romeo cut out early to go see Morgana." Raven began to play absentmindedly with a small bauble she found near her feet.
"You know it!"
"He shouldn't have left without us."
"He'll be fine David. Besides, we have a bit of revenge that I believe needs tending to."
David chuckled. "That's why I love you princess. your as devious as me."
"Not quite, but I believe you are rather a bad influence on me." She said as she played with the collar of his jacket.
"Bleh, I think I'm gonna be sick. I'm out of here." Angel said.
Angel was already at the entrance to the cave when he stuck his head back in. "Come on you two. Quickly, to the Angel mobile. . . AWAY!" David and Raven just looked at each other before Raven laughed and covered her face with her palm. She shook her head and looked back at David as she ascended the stairs.
"Really, what were you thinking with that one sweetie?"
"I don't know love, I just don't know."
Edgar paced back and forth in the comic shop. More bodies were piling up by the day, or night in this case. He knew it had something to do with David and he was going to prove it. He just had to make Raven see. Little did he know what was really going on and what Raven had willingly become.
Edgar looked out the window of the shop just in time to see Morgana and Cody walk by. Morgana stopped and backed up walking into the shop. Turning she looked at Cody. "You coming?"
"Nah I'll wait here."
Morgana looked around the stacks and racks of comics till she found what she was looking for. She grabbed up all the Supernatural and Hulk comics there were and headed to the counter. Edgar eyed her up and down.
"Bit of light reading?"
"Not for me, It's for Raven."
"You know Raven?"
"Yeah, My friend / roomie."
"Can you give her something for me?"
"Sure, what?" He quickly scribbled something on a paper and slipped it into one of the comics.
"Be sure she gets it."
After having fed David and Raven began to scour the boardwalk for Joseph. Both had their own brand of revenge in mind. Raven had something else on her mind as well. The dream from earlier. Was it really a dream or was it a vision. Did the people really know David or was this a ploy to harm them all? Should she really drink from the bottle again? Should she tell David? Not only was David her lover but he was also her maker. Yet she still had the ability to block him out when she really chose to.
A few feet behind David was lost in his own thoughts. He couldn't believe how in a few short months Raven had come to mean so much to him. Nor could he believe how easily she hid her deadly side. To look at her there was the same tiny girl with the brownish red hair down to her behind. Those same brown eyes and the same shy smile of a quiet, caring, beautiful girl. Now there stood the same tiny girl, just as beautiful but now deadly as well. She made it seem so effortless the way she could lure in her victims. It was almost as if she were born to be a vampire. The way she could manipulate them and lull them into a false sense of security astounded him. She was a cunning and deadly predator with the face of an angel. She was almost as cunning as he was. Not only that but with her other abilities which she had been honing she was all but unstoppable.
He had to admit never in his wildest dreams could he have ever envisioned a vampire like her. She was his equal in almost every way. Yet there she stood. His child, his lover. He walked up behind her and slipped his arms around her waist when suddenly both heard an ear piercing growl of sadness and frustration. It was so shocking and sudden that Raven had almost dropped to the ground clutching her head at least had it not been for David having his arms around her.
"Go back to the cave."
"What? Why?" Raven asked with a look of concern.
"I said go back to the cave. You'll be safer there." She was about to open her mouth and say something before he cut her off. "Don't question me. Do it now!" He commanded. " Don't let anyone see you."
It was with those final words that she headed back to the cave. It seemed revenge would have to wait.
Can't believe 11 chapters so far. This is one of my longest stories yet. I know bit of a cliffhanger. All will be revealed soon I promise.
