Chapter One
I do not own "The Lost Boys". I only own Nyx and Isadora.
The Emerson's and Frog brothers are more of background characters.

Santa Carla, a popular tourist spot filled to the brim with all sorts of vacationers and locals. Also known as The Murder Capital of the World. At least that's what the back of the "Welcome to Santa Carla'' sign says. For the Emerson family, it was a fresh start after the death of their father. The family of three was on their way to Grandpa Emerson's house, a small moving trailer filled with the last of their belongings, and the eldest son's motorbike.
Stopping to refuel, the eldest son Michael decides to ride his motorbike the rest of the way to their grandfather's house. The weather was perfect for riding and not having the feeling of claustrophobia was a plus. The mother, Lucy, and youngest son, Sam were leading Michael down the dirt driveway to Grandpa's house. Grandpa greeted them all with a prank-playing possum on the front porch. The Emerson' spent the rest of the day unpacking their rescued belongings. Some of their stuff still smelt of smoke, a reminder of what they lost. Come nightfall the small family ventured out to the boardwalk, not knowing their lives are about to be flipped on its head.
The boardwalk is always crowded during the day, it's during the night when it truly comes alive. The lights, the sounds, the smells, even the people are different come nighttime. Michael and his little brother Sam split away from their mom, Lucy, to explore. Lucy slowly strolled her way around, looking into the shops to see if they were hiring.
She comes across a little boy crying for his mom, "What's wrong sweetie?"
The little boy rubs his tear-filled eyes, "I lost my mom."
Lucy kneels to his eye level, "Well, why don't we go look for her?" The little boy nods his head and takes Lucy's hand as she stands up.
They walked into the nearest shop, which happens to be a video store, and approached the owner. Right when Lucy was going to speak with the owner, Max, the little boy's mom came running in, "Terry...Thank god...I was so worried." The woman thanked Lucy and Max, then took her son by the hand and left the store.
Lucy then turns to Max and introduces herself, "Hello, I'm Lucy..."

Michael and Sam were pushing their way through the crowd following a girl that Michael couldn't keep his eyes off of.
Sam asked, "Where are we going?"
Michael kept pushing through, "Nowhere."
"What's the rush then?" You're chasing after that girl, huh? Well, while you're chasing her, I'm going to go check out the shops. I think I saw a comic book shop. See ya later, Mike." Sam pats his brother on the shoulder as he walks back towards the shops out of the crowd of the concert they ended up at.
Sam enters the comic book shop. It seems empty, the air smells of dust, old paper and smudged ink. Sam browses the shelves of comics, cringing at the filing system, almost tempted to start rearranging the comics when he is approached by two boys his age. These boys are trying too hard to look tough, wearing fatigues and dirty looks. Sam points out some of their mistakes with their filing system. As the three of them are correcting said mistakes introductions were made. The Frog brothers, Edgar and Alan, learn that Sam has moved to Santa Carla with his mom and older brother. The Frogs warn Sam that Santa Carla is crawling with vampires.
Edgar hands Sam a comic, "This could save your life."
Sam looks at the cover of 'Vampires Everywhere', "I don't read horror comics." Tries to politely hand it back.
However, Edgar stops him, "Keep it. You never know."
Sam nods his head and walks away from the strange brothers.

The Frog brothers were getting back to their shop after chasing a thief when they noticed a petite woman with long, silver almost white hair, standing in front of the arcade across from their shop.
She was being picked on by some Surf Nazis, "Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?!"
She flinched when the leader of the group got louder. The Frogs got closer to see if they could help but didn't get the chance when another woman with black-bluish hair pushed her way into the center of the group.
She stood at her full height in front of the first girl, "Back off dipshit."
"What are you gonna do about it skank?" The leader with the skunk striped hair said, exhaling his stinking breath in the girl's face.
The girl with the silver hair scrunched her nose, the other girl pantomimed gagging, "You know, you really should rinse your mouth out after eating ass."
"Fuck you bitch!" Skunk-head getting angrier by the moment.
"No, not if you were the last man on Earth and I ran out of batteries." She knew she was pissing him off. She didn't care. Nobody picks on her sister and gets away with it.
Skunk head balled up his fist, not caring that he was about to punch a girl in the face. Before his fist makes impact the girl throws her own punch, effectively breaking his nose. Then she knees him in the crotch causing him to grip his junk, trying not to vomit from the pain.
The girls turn to walk away, "Come on. Let's get.."
A second guy tries to hit the girls. He put too much momentum behind the hit. The black haired girl easily pushes him aside, he stumbles and his head smacks an arcade game, knocking him out cold.
She turns back to the rest of the group, "Anyone else?" They all step back. "Didn't think so." The sisters turned to leave, they could hear skunk-head yelling about getting them back but didn't respond.

The sisters walked around the boardwalk a little more, spotting the video store. "How about we rent a movie and head back home?" The black-haired sister, Nyx is her name, asked her sister Isadora or "Izzy". Izzy nods her head.
The door to the video store swung open, dangerously close to smacking the girls. Four guys walk out. The first three not paying attention to the girls, the fourth gave them both a quick once-over with a smirk on his face. The sisters get a sense of danger from the guys, as well as a sense of something familiar. Nyx grabbed her sister's hand pulling her into the store, she leaned over and teasingly whispered to Izzy, "Dracul." They didn't realise she was heard by the shop owner and the guys. Or did they?
Max watched these two ladies wander around the store before approaching the quiet one of the two, "Hello, I'm Max. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Izzy turns from the shelf of horror movies to face the man on her right. She uses her right hand as a puppet, making a cut throat action to signal she can't speak while shaking her head.
Max catches on, "You can't speak?" Mentally patting himself on the back, learning sign language years ago for no other reason then to cure boredom, now has proved useful, "Can you sign?"
Izzy nods her head, her shoulders sagging in relief, "Yes. You're the first to ask since we moved here three weeks ago. My sister and I were looking for a movie to rent. Not sure what genre." Izzy turned back to the shelf then back to Max, "Do you recommend anything? I'm Isadora or I-Z-Z-Y for short."
Max looks at the shelf of horror movies, "Evil Dead or the sequel are pretty good. Horror comedies are always good if you want to avoid nightmares."
Izzy taps her chin in thought, then nodded in agreement, "Thank you." Izzy grabs a copy of both 'Evil Dead' and 'Evil Dead 2'.
"Izzy, did you pick something? Oh, hello." Nyx joined her sister, "I'm Nyx." She shook Max's outstretched hand.
"Max. I was helping your sister pick a movie or two." Max drops his hand and puts both in his pockets, quietly chuckling. The sisters thank him and walk to the cashier to rent the movies.
He thinks these two may be perfect for his boys, since Star is not wanting to be part of the family. Max smiles brighter, speaking to 'his boys' through their mind link, "Boys, I know you heard what was said. There's something about those two."
Max continues to watch them walk away from the boardwalk towards the parking lot. They actually parked close to his shop. The girls approached an all black 1970 Dodge Charger. Nyx getting in the driver's seat, starting it up and listening to it rumble. "1970 Black Charger. Purrs like a kitten."
Max heard three whoops of excitement and one scoff, "Already have Star, don't need two more."
Max sighs, "Understandable. However, I have a feeling they know what we are. With Nyx's remark coming in here. Maybe you should introduce yourselves when they return the movies."
That last sentence came across as an order.

The Lost Boys stalked through the boardwalk. People knew they had a reputation, a bad one, but a reputation nonetheless. The locals knew to get out of their way, some tourists learned the hard way. Others, like the Surf Nazis, didn't give a shit.
Even with a swollen, broken nose Skunk-head was starting shit, "Get the fuck out of here punks!" His voice sounded very nasally.
The Lost Boys laughed at the guy before their leader, David, spoke up, "Looks like you already got your ass kicked."
The other three, Dwayne, Paul and Marko, laughed again. Surprisingly Skunk-head's girlfriend snickered. David turns to the girlfriend, "What are you laughing at?"
Her shoulders are shaking with laughter, "He got his ass kicked by a girl."
They all laugh even louder. Marko and Paul holding their stomachs they're laughing so hard. "Fuck you!" Skunk-head yelled at everyone laughing at him.
Skunk-head reached past his girlfriend to smack David. Inadvertently starting a fight between the two groups. A security guard breaks it up by restraining David with his baton and tells both groups to leave the boardwalk.
The security guard never made it home that night.

After Nyx and Izzy saw the guys and met Max they knew moving to Santa Carla was the right choice. Their last home was burnt down. The small town they last lived in figured out what they were and chased them out. Setting fire to their home with them still inside. They both still have nightmares from it. Isadora almost didn't make it out, and Nyx almost lost the only family she has left. It is one of the reasons why Nyx is so protective of Izzy. She knows if it came down to it Izzy can handle herself, but Nyx being the older sister, feels responsible for her safety and wellbeing.
Finding out there were vampires in Santa Carla kind of took a weight off their shoulders. Maybe they could stay in one place longer than a decade. The new place helps with that also, plenty of space to run.
"Do you want to watch the movies first or explore this place properly?" Nyx practically growled.
"Watch the movies. Explore tomorrow night." Izzy shrugged.
"Okay, sounds good to me. Let's get changed then we'll start the movies." Nyx told her sister.
They went to their rooms to shower in the ensuites. After changing into pajamas and making popcorn they curled up on their couch and started 'Evil Dead'. Ending the night in Santa Carla on a good note.
