It's been almost nine months since we've been in LA. Mika just drinks, Stephen is never here and Alistair? I don't honetly want to know what keeps Alistair so busy. But right now we're out and about. Mika just got a new tattoo. He got the bat signal. Why he got it? Hell, if I know. He's gotten eight tattoos since we've been here. He now has gauges too. He's lost all the preppy clothes. He burned them the day after we got here. All he kept saying was how the old Mika died the day he was bitten. One thing he said that still sends chills down my spine, "And last time I checked, people can't reserect the dead". He has this hollow look in his eyes, this boy is never sober, never smiles. I mean neither do i. Hell I don't even remember the last time I laughed...
I wish I could. So we're walking down the side walk, trying to go back to our shitty ass motel room when I hear a loud thump followed by a "OW! What the fuck?!"
I turn around to see Mika tripped on a boy sleeping on the concrete under a bench. The boy crawls out of the bench and helps Mika up. "Sorry, dude." He mumbles
Mika glares at him then suprizingly smiles. "Nah, man it's cool." He says with this sickly sweet smile plastered onto his cynical face
The boy, who can't be older than 14 smiles then we continue walking. Mika's sweet smile quickly turns into a evil smirk once our backs were turned. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Mika asks the three of us
"Doubt it." I say
"Who better than him?" He asks
"Mika! I doubt he's even fourteen yet!"
"Exactly! He'd be perfect. He's young, he's tough, I bet he's fit. Come on! I can't be the only one thinking this."
"You are not." Alistair finally says
"Please! He lives on the streets for fuck's sake! He doesn't need more misery." I say desperatly
"What we have is a gift, miss Lori." Alistair tells me
"That is a damn lie!" I say as we finally reach the motel room
Stephen opens the door with the key and we all go in. He opens the door to the adjoining room and asks "So should I start planning?"
"No! I found him. If anyone is gonna get him, it's me." Mika says
"Mika! Please! Don't do this." I beg him, on the verge of tears
"Yes, I can." He says then stocks into the other room, slaming the door behind him
*Hours later*
Mika's POV
The moon has just risen and I reach for my leather jacket. "Mika! I won't let u do this!" Lori shouts at me
"You can't stop me." I tell her
Her green eyes begin to glow. The first time I had ever seen her come close to shifting. "I think I could." She tells me with a smirk on her face
I smirk right back. I grab her by the throat and body slam her into the floor. Her head making a horrible *thump* sound. Her eyes roll back and if it weren't for her heart beating, I'd think she was dead. I lean down next to her and ask "Is that so?"
I put my jacket on and go over to Stephen and Alistair's room. "Make sure she stays here. If she even attempts to stop me..well let's just say...we'll still have a pack of four." I tell them without even flinching
I walk out and take a bus to the block of where that boy was. It takes ten minutes and when I get off I pass a pizzaria. Point for me for having an amazingly brilliant idea. I go inside and order a large pizza and get a liter of dr. peper. I go to the bench and put the pizza and soda down. The boy now sleeping on the bench. I lightly nudge him. Nothing.
I shove him off the bench and he falls onto the concrete. "Ow. Fuck me." He sighs
He opens his eyes. "Oh, hey you're the dude from earlier right?" He asks as I offer him a hand
He takes it and I help him up. "Same dude." I say
"You aren't gonna jump me or somethin' are ya?" He asks looking terrified all of a sudden
He wishes that was the case. "No. You don't got to worry about me jumping you." I laugh lightly
"Oh, okay." He says then eyes the pizza hungrilly
"Yeah, uh hey I don't know if this is weird or anything, but you want a slice?"
He nods his head fiercly and says "Okay!"
We sit down and I open the soda and drink it from the bottle. "So what's your name, Kid?" I ask as he shoves a whole slice of pizza in his mouth
"Cole." He says with a full mouth
"I'm Mika. It's nice to meet you Cole."
