Mandy And The Lost Boys

Chapter 3

She left them close to dawn. David flew her back to the boardwalk, and she walked to her room from there. The next afternoon around noon she started her shopping. She knew they wanted to get the bikes up and running fast, so she wanted to make sure she got everything they needed.

"Can I help you with something?" she heard when she went to the motorcycle shop in town looking for a few things the auto part store didn't have. She saw a man around her age, maybe a little older, standing there whipping grease off his hand. He had light brown hair and an ear ring.

Nodding, she handed him her list and smirked.

"I actually have these things in the back. They are pricey." He said, and she nodded.

"I'll take them. Can you load them in my truck?" she asked, and he nodded.

20 minutes later, she was handing him the money once he loaded the last part in her truck.

"Thanks." She said, and he smiled.

"New around here?" he asked, and she raised a brow at him.

"Yeah, why?" she asked, and he held his hands up in surrender.

"Never seen you before is all. I'm Michael, Michael Emerson." He said, holding out his hand, and Mandy smirked. This was the Michael that started the whole shit that killed her boys. She shook his hand and nodded.

"Nice to meet you. I'm sure I'll see you around. Might need more parts." She said, and he nodded.

"If you need help, just bring the bike by, and I'll take a look." He called, and she opened her door and slid inside.

"Thanks, but my guys got this." She said before pulling away, leaving him a little confused.

She got everything they asked for and a few other things as well and headed to the cave. It took her a while because some parts were heavy, but she finally got it all inside the cave. She decided to spend some time cleaning the place up while she waited for them to wake up.

By the time she heard them coming, she had the place pretty clean and even put a new couch cover on their sofa until she could figure out a way to get them more stuff in there. When they came inside, they smiled, seeing her. Paul ran over and picked her up and spun her around, and she laughed out loud and he actions.

"I got everything and even cleaned up some." She said as she sat on the couch, and they looked around and nodded.

"Nice. Thanks." Marko said, kissing her cheek before heading towards the parts. Dwayne thanked her, took, and ran his hand over her check. Paul kissed her other cheek, and David kissed the top of her head, making her blush at all the attention. She wasn't used to that at all.

"Oh, you'll never guess who I met today buying parts." She said as they started to work, and Mandy pulled out her food she brought and started eating.

"Who." David asked from his chair, and she smirked.

"I had to go to a bike shop in town to get a few of those parts, and the guy running the place was named Michael Emerson." She said, and they all tensed and looked at her.

"Really. He never left?" David said, and she shook her head.

"Doesn't look like it. I'm pretty sure he was flirting a little, too." She said, biting into her pizza, and the boys all narrowed their eyes at that. No way in hell was Michael getting there, Mandy.

"I'll do some research tomorrow. See if the others are still around, too. Maybe see if I can get addresses for ya while I'm at it." She said, and they nodded.

"Just don't engage them. We will have to plan carefully." David told her, and she nodded and gave him a little salute.

When she left before the sun came up, David asked if she'd be back the next night.

"I have another fight tomorrow night. Can meet up with you all after. Or you could come watch me kick some guy's ass." She said, and they nodded. They agreed to meet her there. They wanted to see her in action again. Even if they'd be killing anyone that left a mark on her after.

When they arrived at the abandoned field that night, there was a large group circled around Mandy and another male twice her size. The boys stayed on the rooftop to watch, not wanting to get too close and feel the need to kill everyone there just for causing their girl harm, and to them, she was there's.

They were amazed as they watched her fight. They'd seen her kill but an all-out fight they hadn't seen yet. She got hit a few times, but it was like it didn't even faze her, and when she knocked the asshole out, they cheered for her from the rooftop. She snatched her money from the pissed off guys and walked over towards where she knew they would be waiting. As soon as she was in arms length, David tilted her head back and growled as he saw a bruise forming on her cheek.

"I'm fine, really." She told him touched by their worry. Huffing, he nodded and allowed Paul and Marko to congratulate her. She really did do a good job.

"You know where going to eat them later, right? No one's allowed to put marks on you." David told her, and she chuckled.

"Well, eat away, my friend. I can't control who you dine on." She said, and he smirked and nodded as they went and bought her a drink to celebrate.

"Let's go for a ride." David said, and Mandy turned to look at him.

"The bikes are running?" she asked, and he nodded. She downed her drink and hopped out of her seat.

"Hell yeah, let's go." She said and linked her arm through David's much to his surprise as they walked down the boardwalk towards where they left the bikes parked.

David climbed on his bike as did the other boys, and he helped Mandy onto the back, where she wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.

Mandy yelled in joy as they raced down the beach, weaving in and out of people and sliding on the sand. She loved the rush of the ride. Laying her chin on David's back, she breathed in his scent. It was warm and comforting.

When they stopped, Mandy saw they were parking next to a bridge with train tracks running across.

"Where are we?" she asked as she slid off the bike and walked between David and Dwayne.

"The tracks. We love to play a game here. Wanna play with us?" Paul said, snickering. Rolling her eyes, she gave him a look, and he chuckled as he jumped off the bridge. One by one, the boys all jumped through the hole and off the bridge. David taunting her to join them.

When she looked down, she laughed as she saw them all hanging under the bridge.

"You guys are as crazy as me." She said as she slid down carefully and hung in front of David, who stared at her with new eyes. Like he fully accepted her now, more so than before.

When she heard the train whistle, she watched as the boys all laughed and yelled out as the train whizzed over the head, shaking the tracks they were holding onto. Mandy laughed. This was an awesome rush.

"Bombs away, babe." Paul said as he and Marko then Dwayne let go and dropped into the fog. David smirked at her.

"Come one, baby." He said before letting go, and Mandy watched him disappear in the fog as well. She had a brief thought of how funny it would be if the Cullen's could see her now as she let go and trusted for the first time in years that the boys would caught her as she fell and she knew they were breaking down her walls and making her feel again.

Somewhere in Alaska, Alice had a vision of Mandy falling to her death from a bridge, and that sent them on a race to find out what had happened to Mandy once they left.
