My Lost Boys (A The Lost Boys Fanfiction)

Chapter Nine (Ending)

I woke up around the same time that the boys usually wake up, I guess having this internal alarm clock has its perks. I throw the covers back and gently shake Laddie awake, the boys came to a conclusion last night that tonight both Laddie and I will be turned. As much as I think it will suck being ten forever Laddie is very excited. I guess every younger sibling wants to be like their older siblings and in this case I guess its no different.

I pull on my black leather pants and a white tank top then I thought about how bloody it will get so I take it off and pull on my black one. I slip on my combat boots and brush my hair and teeth, I took one last look in the mirror and saw how much I resembled David with all the black clothes.

I join Laddie on the couch while the boys goof off before we leave, I look at Laddie he isn't being the energetic young boy he usually is. "Hey Laddie, you alright?" I ask and move his chin so he's looking up at me. "I'm scared River." he mumbles, I pull him into my arms so I'm cuddling him, "Hey look at me," when he does I continue, "I'm scared too but I'll there the whole entire time with you."

He looks up at me and nods with a small smile, "Thanks mom- I mean River." he stutters and looks away embarrassed. I couldn't help but smile, I was about to say something but David walks over. "Are you ready to be a official part of the Lost Boys family?" he asks with a smile, and when I say smile I mean an actual smile not that damn smirk. Both me and Laddie nod and we follow the boys up to the bikes.

The whole ride my heart was racing due to nervousness, the closer we got to the boardwalk the more nervous I got. I eventually lay my head between David's shoulder blades and close my eyes, I don't open my eyes again until David pats my hand that's resting around his waist. "C'mon River, it's time." he says and I internally groan.

I get up with the help of David and as soon as my feet are on solid ground Laddie is beside me and holding my hand. We follow the boys onto the beach and wait until they see a bonfire that's out of sight. David grabs the hand that's not occupied by Laddie and leads us to them.

"You and Laddie wait until I tell you to come over alright." David says and I nod, the boys all share a look and fly to the unsuspecting victims. Their screams echo around the empty air and the metallic scent finally finds its way to where me and Laddie were waiting. I had to hold Laddie back from running over there without the signal, I guess the smaller you are the harder it is to resist urges.

Finally David motions for us to come over and Laddie wastes no time in running over and sinking his teeth into the bloody man Dwayne was holding out to him. I had to look away from the young boy, it was hard to think that some could lose their innocence so fast like that.

I slowly walk to where David was waiting by Paul and Marko who were holding a man with neon green hair so he couldn't get away. "When Paul and Marko let him go then you let your instincts take over, okay?" he says and I nod still nervous. "Look at me, it's gonna be alright." he says, I wait a minute before I motion for them to let the man go.

As soon as he is out of the hands of Paul and Marko he's running and letting out a girlish scream. I feel my face form into one similar to the boys and I let my instincts take over and I'm on the man within seconds. I let my now sharp teeth sink into the mans neck and his blood fills my mouth. Instead of being metallic and bitter it tasted sweet and delicious. I kept sucking until every drop of blood was drained from him, I disposed of the limp pale body with the rest of his friends, into the fire.

I knew I should of felt bad since I just took the life of a man but I just didn't. I didn't feel anything except happiness, happiness that I was finally going to be with my boys forever. The boys pulled me into a bone crushing group hug and let out sounds of happiness. "Congratulations River, you're finally one of us!" David says with that smile I only have seen once.

I look down at Laddie and see him clutching onto one of my legs, I push the boys off of me and squat down to his level, "Laddie, you okay bud?" I ask and he nods but hugs me. "Hey guys could you give me and Laddie a minute?" I ask and they nod and go stand a couple feet away. "Now tell me what's wrong." I say and sit down, "I'm sad I mean Starr didn't want me to be this and now I am. I thought she loved me and was gonna be my mom since I didn't have mine anymore but then she left." he says with tears in his eyes, my none beating heart broke right then and there I swear. "Well how about I be your mom. Only if you want me to though." I say and he looks up at me. "Please." he says and I nod.

The boys joined us a minute later, "Everything alright?" David asks. "River is my new mom." Laddie says and the boys chuckle. I look up at David and my new family, everything is perfect. I couldn't ask for anything to be better than it was at this exact moment. I had the most amazing boyfriend and brothers and a awesome adoptive son. Even if I was a blood sucking night crawler I wouldn't change a thing. I am not River Jane Williams anymore, I'm now River the Lost Girl. Santa Carla better watch out cause I'm ready to raise some hell and have fun.

So this is the final chapter. This has been one of my favorite books to write and it has been fun. Maybe one day I'll make a sequel but you guys would have to comment some ideas and things you like to see happen. I love you guys! - Cailtin.
