Santa Carla Gazette

Fire and death at the Tire Factory

Early Thursday morning firefighters were alerted to a fire that was out of control in the old tire factory in downtown Santa Carla. After a long fight to get control the blaze Firefighters were finally able to put out the flames. After an investigation, it was believed the fire was started by accident. Six homeless youth, who were apparently living there at the time and were high on drugs or alcohol, perished in the fire. The fire department have confirmed that there was gas and other harmful chemicals still in the building. They believe one of the teens was smoking and fell asleep setting his bedding on fire. The flame spread until it mixed with an explosive flammable material causing an explosion of flames. Our hearts go out to these six youth who perished in the flames and pray that they have found peace.

Reporter Maria Sanchez

Time had gone by in Santa Carla. The fire that occurred at the Tire factory had long been forgotten. There was nothing left of the building but burned bricks.

David and the others sat on their motorcycles waiting for Star and Laddie.

David smoked a cigarette while Dwayne observed the crowd looking for possible future meals.

Marko, Paul and Maya were joking around and making cat calls at girls and guys alike.

Maya leaned forward over Marko's shoulder and started trying to mess with Paul's hair. She succeeded in messing it up slightly. She and Marko started laughing at his face.

Paul smirked grabbing her around the waist and pulling her onto his motorcycle in front of him.

"So, you think that's funny huh? I'll give ya something to laugh at."

Paul started tickling her ribs. She burst out laughing and squirmed trying to get away from him, but he was stronger than her.

"s... s...stop.... Pl..eas...se... I...I'm....So...Sorry"

Paul smirked. Say I am the hottest vampire of all the world and you're unworthy to be in my presence.

"o..o..ok....j...ju...just...st..stop..."

Paul leaned backward moving Maya into an upright position. "Well. I'm waiting"

She sighed smirking. You are the hottest vampire in the whole world. I am SOOO unworthy to be in your presence.

Paul patted her on the head "good kitten."

She stuck her tongue out before hoping on Marko's motorcycle.

Out of nowhere Laddie and Star appeared. Laddie jumped on behind Dwayne and Star climbed on David's bike.

Everyone stared at the two boys that appeared in the crowd staring right at them. The younger boy was blond with the weirdest clothes on. They looked too big for him. The other boy was staring at Star. He had black hair and regular clothes on, but he didn't look happy to see Star with David.

David and the others smirked before they all started their bikes leaving the two boys behind.

Maya glanced behind her at the two boys. Well, this should be interesting.

Soon the Lost Boys and Girls left the boardwalk behind. None were worried about the two humans. It's not like humans could touch them.
