The heat of his body against mine felt different. It was all kinds of hot. I felt his callus hands against my shoulders as he removed the straps from my tank top.
" They wouldn't understand." He tells me as lust dripped from his tongue.
" Fuck." I gasped as he began to kiss my neck. I felt my cheeks getting hotter by the second as he lifted up and those deep blue bore into my doe brown eyes.
" Come with me, Scarlet." He whispered as I felt a deep pain in my throat. This hot and hungry pain as he removed my top. I wanted him badly as I could feel my body responding.
" Be my lost girl." He whispered as I felt his hands find my ass. My leg around his waist. He was so close I could smell his musk.
" Hmm." I groaned as my door was being knocked on. I sat up to elude the very sensual dream I had been having.
" You alive in there?" Michael's voice hit my ears.
" Yeah, what do you need Mickey?" I said rubbing my eyes.
" Heading to the boardwalk. You coming?" He asked on the other side of the door. I saw my clock said it was 8:30 p.m.
" Where's Sam and Mom at?" I asked as I got out of bed.
" They are already at the boardwalk, Mom got a job." He replied to me as I pulled on a black tank top with blood-dripped roses on and some torn blue jeans.
" I'll be down in a bit." I told him as I got a huff as a response. I snagged my knee-high leather boots and got them on before doing my lipstick in its signature black and my eyes in a smokey color. I smiled before tying my flannel around my waist.
" Looking sharp." I told myself before the thought of David and his deep blue eyes hit me. I felt my face getting hot.
" God, I feel like a preteen." I told myself before I looked at my earring collection. I picked my favorite single; my moonstone pentacle earring. I put it in my right ear and headed downstairs.
" You look dark, sis." Michael said as I grabbed my keys.
" You know me. I love the night and what happens in it." I said as he nodded. We left the house and got on our bikes. I put my hair in a slightly messy bun before riding off.
" Wait up!" Micheal called out. I laughed loudly.
" Catch up slowpoke!" I yelled back as I kept riding.
" I can so!" He yelled back as we were practically racing to the boardwalk. As I arrived, Michael parked next to me.
" What are you gonna do?" He asked as I got off my bike and parked her.
" Going to get a view of the ocean." I said as he smiled. I walked off. No bands were playing tonight, bummer. I was leaning on the rail getting a great view of the water in the moonlight.
" Look what we found!" A familiar voice called out as I smiled. I see David and his friends come up to me. I gave them a small wave as David stood next to me.
" I did say I would come back." I told him as he gave me a smile that made my knees quiver.
" You look fantastic." David said as I thought back to my dream. The heat in my face hit me again.
" Think you can hang with us?" Marko asked with some encouragement in his voice. I smiled and shrugged.
" Why not." I told them as they cheered. As we walked, David stuck to my side. It was like I was a prize.
" What made you move here?" Paul asked as I was toying with my earring.
" Mom and Dad divorced. But, fuck him." I said as David watched me.
" How so?" Marko asked as I gave a smirk as I took a leap forward. They are friends I can get behind.
" Dad cheated on Mom, never really liked him. He always hated my ideals on the night." I replied to him.
" Ideals?" Dwayne asked. I chuckled.
" I always felt things go bump in the night. Things aren't always easy for the simple mind to understand. I don't like being up during the day. My brothers always say I look too pale to be alive." I said as I quickly saw David's eyes perk up.
" Sound like our kind of style." Marko said with a smile. I chuckled as we got back to my bike.
" You think you can come to hang with us a bit longer? I would like to get to know a rare type like yourself." David said as I smirked. Was he flirting with me?
" I think I can." I told him as the rest of them hollered. I rolled my bike as they got to theirs. I saw Michael and that girl.
" Hey, Mikey." I called out as David and his friends rolled up.
" Where are you going, Star?" David asked the girl. So this is the girl.
" For a ride. This is Michael." She replied as if annoyed with David.
" Let's go." Michael said to her. It looked like David was about to say something, but stopped as he looked at me.
" Do you know where Hudson's Bluff is, overlooking the point?" David asked as Star got on Michael's bike.
" I can't beat your bike." He replied as I snickered.
" Yes, you can Michael." I said to him as he smiled.
" You don't have to beat me, Michael. You just have to try and keep up." He told him. I watched as they rode away. I started my bike and rode. Following them down the stairs and riding the beach sands. The ocean spray felt good as I found myself next to David. I popped up a wheelie and laughed loudly as David found himself next to me again.
" Come on!" He called out as I laughed loud as I see we are close to a cliff.
" Come on, Michael! Catch up!" David called my brother again. Michael went a little ahead before he stopped just before the edge. I stopped right beside David.
" What the hell are you doing?" Michael yelled at David before Star stopped him before he could deck him.
" Come on. Just you." Michael yelled at him.
" Michael it was probably a damn joke, just chill out." I told him as David was by my side.
" How far are you willing to go, Michael?" He asked my brother ambiguously. I rolled my eyes before playfully pushing him. We all headed down the stairs. The boys found their stops as I looked over all the art. How mysterious.
" Not bad, huh? This was the hottest resort in Santa Carla about 85 years ago." David said as I followed him. Michael was by my side as I was almost in a trance on his every word.
" Too bad they built it on the fault. ln 1906, when the big one hit San Francisco the ground opened up and this place took a header right into the crack. So now it's ours." David said as I picked up the iron-looking wolf head necklace and inspected it before David came over.
" You like it?" He asked as I smirked.
" Here." He said as he put it on after taking my hair out of its bun,.
" Thank you." I told him as he looked at Marko.
" Marko. Food." He told Marko as I saw him throw a pigeon.
" That's what I love about this place. You ask, and then you get." David said looking at Michael. I saw a seat and walked over.
" You'll like it here. It always felt like home." David said as I sat in a throne life chair. Paul smiled and passed me a joint. I took a decent hit and felt the wave of THC hit me. It wasn't long till Marko brought in a box of what looked to be Chinese food.
" Feeding time. Come and get it, boys." Marko said as I saw David pull a box out.
" All right. Food time." Paul called as I saw David coming towards me.
" Chinese. Good choice." He said as he came to me.
" Guests first. Don't want the beautiful girl to starve now do we?" David asked as I felt my face get hot. I took the box and opened it as he handed me chopsticks.
" No. No, thanks." Michael said as David sat down a few feet from me.
" You don't like rice?" David asked my twin.
" Tell me, Michael, how could a billion Chinese people be wrong?" David said Michael then looked at me as I was digging my chopsticks into my box.
" Dude, don't be rude. It's food, you really going to deny a delicious meal?" I said as I pulled up some noodles and chowed down. I saw Michael take a rice box and eat a spoonful.
" How are those maggots?" David asked as he dug into his own box. Maggots?
" Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste?" David asked as Michael looked at his box and threw it to the ground before spitting it out. The guys laughed as I was confused. Probably another joke.
" Leave him alone." Star called out in annoyance. Everyone brushed her off.
" Michael, it's just rice." I said as I kept eating. David watched me before turning his attention to Michael.
" Sorry about that. No hard feelings, huh?" He asked my brother before leaning a new box to Michael.
" Why don't you try some noodles?" David asked him. I see Michael's face turn to disgust.
" They're worms." He said as I got up. All I saw were noodles.
" What do you mean, they're worms?" David asked as he pulled some out and ate a small mouthful.
" Don't eat." Michael said as he stopped at his own remark.
" They're only noodles, Michael." David said as he relaxed. I got up after finishing my box.
" Don't be scared brother. It's all jokes from what I see." I said as I sat by him. I patted his shoulder.
" I'm not scared." He said as I chuckled.
" These guys are chill." I remarked as I saw Marko holding this jeweled bottle of what looked to be wine. He gave it to David. I watched as he uncorked it and took a swig.
" Drink some of this, Michael. Be one of us." David said before I got up and sniffed it.
" Scarlet." David said as I smirked. Was he testing me on something?
" Don't drink it." Star said as if afraid.
" Scarlet. Scarlet." Paul, Dwayne, and Marko said egging me on to drink from the bottle.
" We don't know what's in it Scar." Michael said getting up.
" It'll probably be fine. Don't be a wuss. Take a risk." I say as David's eyes light up. I took a big swig and the group cheered me on.
" Seems she has more guts." David said as I took another swig and handed it to Michael. David pulled me next to him as everyone cheered on my brother.
" Michael. Michael." The group cheered as Michael looked to loosen up. I was feeling a little different, but I brushed it off.
" Don't. You don't have to, Michael." Star said as she was behind him.
" lt's blood." She said before Michael rolled his eyes and swung a decent amount down his throat. The small group cheered him on as I saw Star backing up.
" Give me a ride, Marko." David said as Marko rolled him around the cave. Dwayne came up and lifted me up.
" You're one of us, bud." Paul said patting my brother's back.
" Let the good times roll for the newcomers!" Dwayne yelled out before I was put down. David looked over at me with a smirk.
" Surprised you took the plunge." He said as I chuckled.
" Never afraid to give something a chance." I replied to him.
" Now that is a spark I can really get behind." He said as lust dripped off his tongue. I lower my gaze as I bite my lip.
" Think you can keep up?" I asked as I looked into those eyes. He smirked at me.
" The question is can you?" He asked as I bit my lip in full view.
" Michael. Scarlet. Michael. Scarlet." They were chanting as the feeling dug deep into my body. I felt alive and more stable.
" We want to show you guys something." David said as I smirked.
" Bring it on." I said as I followed him and the rest to our bikes. Michael coming up last on his bike. We followed them to this train rail bridge. I got off my bike and walked beside him as I
" Perfect timing." David said as we all walked down the bridge.
" What's going on?" Michael asked as he looked confused.
" Probably a dead body buddy!" I said before the group laughed at my statement.
" Michael wants to know what's going on. Marko? What's going on?" David asked the curly-haired member.
" l don't know. What's going on, Paul?" Marko asked him.
" Wait a minute, who wants to know?" Paul yelled out.
" Michael wants to know." Dwayne yelled back.
" I think we should let Michael know what's going on." David said before looking at me. I can see his pupils are dilated.
" Seems like Scarlet is all in." David said as I smirked.
" Bring it Blue eyes." I said challenging him with my tone. The group cheered as David smirked at me.
" Marko." David said as I saw Marko go to the edge.
" Good night, . Bombs away." He said before dropping. The fuck? I see him hanging on a rail.
" Bottoms up, man. Whoa!" Paul yelled before following suit along with Dwayne.
" Join us?" David asked as I smirked. I got down and I heard Michael gasp. I was hanging. The group was cheering me on as I held tight.
" Come with us, Michael." David said before dropping.
" Don't be a chump brother!" I yelled out as I felt like the guys knew what they were doing. Michael soon came down. David was at the bar next to me.
" Fun, huh?" David asked me.
" Much better than back in Arizona." I said as I felt my heart racing. I heard the train coming as the rails began to shake.
" Oh Fuck Me!" I screamed as David looked over at me.
" Hang on! It's alright!" David yelled at me. I saw Dwayne fall! The fuck!
" Don't be scared." Marko yelled after I saw him let go, his screams of excitement rang out against the train.
" Scarlet. Let go! You will be ok!" David yelled at me then looked over at Michael.
" Michael, you're both one of us. Let go!" David yelled before letting go. The train kept passing and I felt my grip give way. I let go and heard my brother's screams. I fell into the fog and almost felt weightless.
" David." I gasped out as my eyes grew heavy. I felt arms around me as I felt my skin feeling slightly cooled by the air.
" No need to worry. You are one of us. I'm here for you." David's voice lured me into a deep state of rest as I let my head fall.
" Never have to be alone as long as I'm here. You must do one thing." His voice allured the wonder and deep ache of her soul.
" You must feed." The voice said as the warmth of something mouthwatering hit the air. The hunger and desire came full circle as the girl pounced.
" I'm yours." The girl said as her ache vanished.
