I do not own "The Lost Boys". I only own Nyx and Isadora.

Waking before the sun set completely, Izzy and Nyx made their way up from the cavern below their home. One of the other benefits of moving to Santa Carla is all the sunken properties from past earthquakes. Their home rests on the side of a mountain, built in the early 1900's and has survived the last few major earthquakes. The house was quite big for just the two of them. Three stories above ground with five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and of course living spaces. A basement for storage and laundry. Then further down was the hidden cavern where they hid their precious cargo. They spared no expense on the security system, complete with an alarm and heavy, metal window shutters and fireproof doors. As well as warding on all entryways. A mother-in-law suite with two bedrooms above the garage.

The cavern entrance is hidden inside the study by way of a pull switch attached to a book. One of the walls in the cavern had a newly crafted mural detailing their family tree as far back as the Early Dynastic Period(Egyptian). Whenever they move somewhere new Nyx would craft the mural all over again. The cavern stretched pretty far into the mountain, crudely carved out walls. A natural spring of fresh water on the right side, the water trickles down the wall and fills in. A space on the other side where two canopy beds were set up for the sisters when they wanted to rest away from the world. A second, hidden door behind the beds for blood storage. And finally in a separate locked chamber at the end of the room, were two marble thrones, and sat upon those thrones were their creators King Enkil and Queen Akasha. It was due to their creators that they moved so often, every few decades or so. This last move was sooner than normal, but the de Romanus sisters will not fail their king and queen. Their father Marius was brutally murdered then torn apart over two hundred years ago, leaving the sisters to care for and protect their creators.

Nyx and Izzy entered the kitchen to make breakfast. While eating Nyx went over their plans for the night. "So, I say we return the movies then walk around the boardwalk. Learn the place some more."

Izzy put her empty plate in the sink then turned to her sister, "That sounds good. I just don't want to be picked on again."

Nyx stood up and joined her sister at the sink, "If those guys start something again, I will not hesitate to break a few bones." Chuckling darkly.

They each went to their separate bedrooms to get ready. Nyx's outfit for the night screamed 'biker bad-ass bitch'. Pulling a tank top printed to look like a skeletal torso, skin-tight faded black jeans, metal-tipped biker boots, and her leather jacket. Never one to wear too much makeup, Nyx applied a dark grey eyeshadow creating a smokey eye look with Egyptian-style eyeliner. Putting her hair up in a messy bun, using a pencil of all things, to hold it in place with a few strays falling around her face. Double-checking her rings were in place, a beautiful gold ring with an oval cut Ruby on her right middle finger. Then her de Romanus family crest ring on her right pinky.

Izzy has a different style. She's more feminine with her fashion. Going for dark grey leggings, a white camisole top, a long, oversized pink jumper over the top. Dark grey converse completed the outfit. For her makeup, dark pink smudge eyeshadow, some mascara, and neutral lip gloss. Her hair put half up-half down with some curls framing her face. A pink choker with a dangling gold heart covering her scar that stretched across her throat. Izzy wore two rings on her right hand as well, a gold ring with Blue Calcite stone on her right pointer finger, then the de Romanus family crest ring on her right pinky.

"Izzy, are you ready?" Nyx called from downstairs. She could hear her sister's footsteps, intentionally stomping.

LB...........LB...........LB...........LB...........LB

The sisters parked the car then made their way to the video store to return the movies. Tonight the boardwalk was even busier than last night. Nyx grabbed Izzy's hand so they wouldn't get separated. Entering the store was a relief, not as busy as outside. Approaching the counter, the girl stood up from her stool, putting the magazine she was reading down to check in the movies.

"Good evening ladies. How did you like the movies?" Max came behind the counter. "They're here. And they look absolutely delectable." Max could hear the boys hollering in his head.

Nyx nods her head with a slight smile, "They were great actually. Spent more time laughing then being scared. Thanks for recommending them." The cashier had finished up. Nyx and Izzy waved goodbye, "We'll be back for something else another night."

"It was my pleasure," Max said as the girls walked out the door. Using his gift of persuasion, he had the cashier hand him their registration form. His eyes widened for just a moment, before feeling giddy. "Well, I'll be.... They're my new neighbors." Max knew someone moved into one of the bigger homes in his neighborhood. Not many people moved out or into that area. So when someone new moves in, the whole neighborhood piques their curiosity.

Paul was the loudest of them all, "Holy shit! Someone bought the old Hollyvale Estates! LOADED!" They all laughed at Paul's antics.

Max went back into his office and sat behind his desk, "Now, David, play nice." He heard a scoff to cover the low growl he almost sent his sire.

Michael was stalking Star. He wasn't very good at it. Star knew he was there. She was on orders to get his attention and keep it by any means necessary. It wasn't too difficult, since he was following her like a love-sick puppy. She stopped at a jewelry kiosk to wait and see if he came over to her. Taking the bait, Michael came to stand next to her. He introduced himself and struck a conversation about piercings. Continuing to walk down the boardwalk towards the concert and chatting about themselves. In the back of Star's mind, she was fuming. She didn't want anyone else to be damned like her and Laddie. Speaking of Laddie, Star knew she was going to get an earful from Dwayne and David for leaving the little half-vampire alone. But orders were orders.

LB...........LB...........LB...........LB...........LB

Nyx and Izzy were checking out the comic book store. They were scanning the shelves but nothing popped out at them. Nyx lightly snorted at the couple asleep towards the back of the store, reeking of marijuana. Izzy was towards the middle, running one her hand over the comics. Her other hand in front of her mouth hiding in her sleeve. She is very self-conscious about her scar so she tries to hide behind her too big jumpers. However, the gesture gives her a look of innocence, making her an easy target to be bullied.

"Hey, weren't you that girl the Surf Nazis were picking on last night?" One of the teenagers running the shop asked. He was wearing a red bandana keeping his hair out of his eyes, and army fatigues.

Izzy looks up from the comics to the kid and nods her head.

The other teenager came over to stand on Izzy's other side, "Are you ok?"

Izzy, again nods her head, chewing nervously on her sleeve.

"She can't speak and you're crowding her." Nyx walks down the aisle slowly scanning the shelves.

The Frog brothers take a step back from Izzy. Red bandana, Edgar, asked, "You guys new here?"

Having reached her sister's side Nyx answers, "Just moved." Not wanting to give them any details. She didn't like the vibe rolling off these kids.

"Well, you'll want this." The other brother, Alan, handed Nyx a comic.

Izzy smiles big, silently laughing at the irony while Nyx chuckles, "Vampires Everywhere. Really? Aren't you a little old to be believing in monsters?"

The Frog brothers were used to this reaction. They were not phased in the least, "Believe us or not. Santa Carla is swarming with the undead."

Nyx's laughing became louder, "We'll have to remember that. But thanks anyways." Izzy grabs Nyx's hand and they exit the store. Nyx set fire to the comic using her pyrokinesis.

Laddie was not having a good night. First, The guys left him with Star. Telling him they will see him later. They did give the two of them some money so they could eat. Second, Star took off to go flirt with some guy, leaving Laddie to fend for himself. And lastly, the Surf Nazis. Laddie was passing by one of the shops down the way from the arcade when they pushed him into a small alley between the buildings filled with trash cans and gross puddles.

"Look what we got here boys. The little brat that hangs out with the Lost Boys." One of the big guys with a blue mohawk pushed Laddie into another guy. They would push him around their group until Laddie started getting dizzy. Then one of them slapped him hard enough he spun around and fell to the ground with a split lip and bruised cheek. Laddie gets picked up roughly by his long hair. He couldn't hold back the scream.

LB...........LB...........LB...........LB...........LB

"PUT ME DOWN! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Nyx turns to where she heard a kid screaming from. The girls see a group of five guys bullying a little boy.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" Nyx gets their attention, stepping into the alleyway.

The guys stop laughing and turn to the person that yelled at them. "None of your business!"

"Oh, it's you again," Nyx stated in a too calm voice, recognizing the same group that picked on Izzy the night before. She turns to Izzy, then back to the group. Izzy understood things are about to get messy. They both hated it when people picked on them, that hatred is even worse when it's a kid getting bullied.

The guys have lost interest in the kid, giving all their attention to the chick that ruined their fun. They didn't even notice the brat run past them to stand next to Izzy. "You got balls to come back here."

Nyx struts closer to the Surf Nazis, "Well, they're bigger than yours."

"You stupid bitch!" The guy with the blue mohawk spat at her. He was getting ready to swing at her when her next question stopped him.

"How about a magic trick?" Nyx pulls the pencil out of her hair and sticks it into the top of a dumpster, sharpened end up. "I'll make this pencil disappear."

The big guy stepped closer to Nyx. Faster than humanly possible, she grabbed him by the neck, turning his head sideways, and shoved the pencil through his ear. Instantly killing him.

"Ta-da! It's gone." Dramatically waving her hands in front of where the pencil used to be after the guy's body hit the ground. The rest of the group ran off in the other direction.

Nyx playfully gives chase almost skipping, "Where are you going? I'm not done playing with you yet." Maniacally laughing as she catches up with her sister and the little kid. "What's your name, kid?" Kneeling down to his level.

"Laddie." The little boy was dabbing his split lip with his not-so-clean sleeve.

Izzy clapped her hands to get Nyx's attention, "You catch his scent?" Nyx slightly nods her head.

Nyx puts a smile on her face, "Well, Laddie. Are you here alone?" She stands up to scan the crowd, as well as try to sense any other vampires. When the scent of another half-vampire comes across them.

"Laddie! It's time to go. The guys are waiting for us." A girl about their age dressed in bohemian style clothing grabbed the boy's hand.

"Star, these two saved me from the Nazis." Star glares at Nyx and tightens her grip on Laddie's hand. "I'm sorry. I don't know your names." Laddie faced the sisters. They're so cool. He couldn't wait to tell the guys.

"It's ok little dude. I'm Nyx and this is my sister Isadora." Nyx knelt closer to Laddie and whispered loudly, "But don't call her Isadora, she doesn't like it when people call her that. Call her Izzy instead."

Nyx stands up tall and glares at Star, "If running off to do who knows what, is more important than your ward, maybe you should leave him with someone more responsible." She didn't give Star a chance to respond. "Bye, little dude. Maybe we'll see you around." They waved at him while walking away. Star was glaring daggers at Nyx.

"Come on Laddie. David is waiting." Star drags him to where the boys were parked.

LB...........LB...........LB...........LB...........LB

Five minutes later Star and Laddie found the guys at their bikes. Marko, the smallest of the four at around 5'8", long blonde tightly curled hair, honey brown eyes. Clean-shaven which added to his cherub-like features, tight dark jeans, white tank top, and a very colorful jacket covered in patches. Marko was rough-housing with Paul.

Now, Paul was the second tallest next to Dwayne. Paul is 6 foot, long blonde, straight hair, hazel eyes, slight stubble, wearing white jeans, a black muscle shirt, and a long black tuxedo jacket.

Dwayne was trying his best to stay out of their path, leaning against his motorbike. He is the tallest of the bunch at 6'2", long black hair, dark brown eyes, permanent five o'clock shadow, wearing a black leather jacket with leopard print lapels, a string of sharp fangs around his neck with no shirt, ripped, tight black jeans.

David leaned against the boardwalk railing smoking a cigarette watching his brothers play around and waiting for Star and Laddie. He stood at 5'11", a blonde mullet spiked at the top, wearing all black with a long black trench coat, a leather jacket under that, a black t-shirt, and black leather pants with spurs attached to his boots.

Finally spotting them run-up, "About time Star." Dave tossed his cigarette and climbed onto his bike with Star climbing behind him.

"Sorry, I had to find Laddie," Star spoke softly, knowing she was in trouble.

Dwayne helped Laddie onto his bike behind him, "You get into any trouble, kid?"

And here comes the word vomit, "Well once you guys left me with Star, she took off. I was on my way to get something to eat when I was jumped by some Surf Nazis." The guys couldn't help the growl that escaped in Star's direction. "I did make some new friends. They saved me from the Nazis. It was so cool. One of them took out the big guy with the blue mohawk.. (Dwayne was taking a drink of water right at this moment.) with a pencil."

Dwayne choked on his water. After coughing a few times, "What?"

"Yeah, she"

All the guys sputtered, "She!"

Laddie continues telling them what happened uninterrupted, "pulled the pencil out of her hair, which is really pretty, and stood it up on a dumpster then slammed the guy's head onto it. I think it went through his ears. Then she chased the other guys when they ran away. Yelling that she wasn't done playing with them yet."

Marko and Paul leaned against their motorbike gas tank laughing hysterically. The group didn't notice the sisters coming upon them.

LB...........LB...........LB...........LB...........LB

"Aww, thanks little dude for that marvelous introduction." Marko and Paul sat up straight and they all turn around and see Nyx and Izzy standing next to them.

The guys were speechless. Marko and Paul were staring at Nyx with their mouths open. David looked them over with the same expression as when he saw them last night, but so many emotions shown in his eyes, especially towards Izzy. Dwayne crossed his arms, stared at Izzy, and licked his bottom lip. All the while one word repeating in their head, "Mate!"

Nyx and Izzy felt it too. A little confused on why they didn't feel the connection last night, but also didn't want to question it out loud just in case they were the only ones.

"As Laddie was saying, we came across him being bullied and put a stop to it real quick," Nyx explains, glaring at Star. "I'm Nyx and this is Isadora."

Laddie corrects Nyx loudly, "Izzy! She doesn't like being called Isadora."

David spoke up, not taking his eyes off of Izzy, "Is that right?"

Izzy shyly nods her head, not saying a word. This did not go unnoticed by the guys.

"Well, it has been lovely meeting you all. Hope to see each other again soon. But we have to get going." Nyx takes Izzy's hand and they walk towards their car.

"Hey, wait!" Snapping out of their stupor, Marko and Paul got off their bikes and ran after them. "Do you want to hang with us tonight? At our place?"

The sisters have a silent conversation with each other. "Do you want to go with them or head to San Fran?" Nyx asked her sister.

"San Fran can wait till tomorrow. We have everything we need for tomorrow night." Izzy shrugged her shoulders.

"Sure, why not?" Nyx told the guys and they got really loudly excited. Nyx spoke over them, "However, I don't feel safe leaving my ride here. If you want to follow us to our house so I put her away."

This decision may come to bite the girls in the butt later. It is also a way to see if they plan to hurt them. If they can't get through the warding of the front door then they don't go with them.

"We'll follow you." Marko and Paul ran back to their bikes, letting David know they'll meet them at the cave.

LB...........LB...........LB...........LB...........LB

Nyx normally has a lead foot when she drives, but she didn't know the route well enough to speed. She was itching to speed, "I wonder if there's a place to race here?"

After about fifteen minutes of driving at a decent speed, they arrived at the Hollyvale Estates. The gates at the end of the driveway opened as they pulled up, then driving another 100 yards the house came into view. Nyx hit the button to open one side of the garage. Pulling their car in next to Nyx's project car, a 1946 Chevy rat rod, she was building from the ground up.

"Woah! Sweet ride." Paul was circling the rat rod.

Nyx stood next to Marko for a moment, "Thank you. Built her from frame up." Nyx turned to walk through the garage door.

Marko was standing in the middle of the garage facing the rat rod, a mischievous smile on his face while chewing on his thumbnail, "Should we follow them inside?"

Looking up from the project car to Marko, "Let's go." Paul returned the look.

Nyx extended an invitation, "Do you guys want to come in for a moment? Need to check something before we go."

They all left the garage to go into the house, Nyx unlocked the door followed by Izzy. Paul hesitated at the door for a second, feeling a small wave of magic around the doorframe. He looked back to Marko and mouthed "What the Fuck?" Marko shrugs his shoulders.

Nyx turned back to the guys, "You going to come in or stand there?" She watched closely as they came through the door into the kitchen without any complications and let out a breath of relief. Even with an invitation, if there were bad or harmful intentions, they would not have been able to enter. The girls now know they don't intend to harm them, at least not at their place.

Izzy had already gone upstairs to change out of her jumper into something more appropriate for riding a motorbike. She decided on her long, black hooded sweatshirt, however, she didn't change anything else.

"You guys go ahead and make yourselves at home, just stay out of the basement." Nyx left the two vampires alone in her kitchen. She was curious what they would do, if they would listen to her warning to stay out of the basement or if that is where they go first. Surprisingly, they raided the fridge and made themselves sandwiches.

"As tempting as it is to go into the basement, a sandwich or three sounds better." Marko had finished putting together his sandwiches.

Paul had his mouth full of the deli-style ham and turkey sandwich, "Don't have to tell me twice. Besides, we can just come back and check everything out later." Thinking about sneaking in and heading straight for the basement after the girls are dropped off.

"You boys are missing out. That new kid, Michael, is following us back to the cave." David came through their mind link.

"On our way. The girls just came into the room. Damn, they're hot!" Paul almost said that out loud.

Nyx and Izzy gave each other amused glances, the boys had definitely made themselves at home. "You guys ready?" "We won't stay for long. Do you want to tell them what we are or wait and see how tonight goes?" Nyx is unsure if she can trust them. The last people she trusted that weren't Izzy, nearly got them killed.

They all walk out to the bikes. Izzy climbs behind Marko, Nyx behind Paul. The girls held on tight but not too tight. They have ridden on bikes before, even driven them, they just prefer their car. Paul looks over his shoulder at Nyx, she gives him a calm smile that reaches her eyes. "Hang on." Her grip got a little tighter. They sped off into the night, heading for their cave, which was a sunken hotel.

Izzy looked to the side her sister and Paul were riding on, "See how it goes. I am getting tired of hiding, but not sure we can trust them easily."

Nyx nods her head towards her sister, "Agreed."
