No One Gets to Play God

I am finally updating! Woo! Thank you to all those who have stuck around! I'm really disappointed in myself that it took this long to update, but that's okay. 

Also, 11k reads?? Wow!

----------------------------------------------

The decision hanging over my head eats at me as I leave the motel and begin walking.

Walking without a clear destination makes my mind up for me when I end up in front of the Lost Boys' cave. Moments later, as I'm climbing up the steps that lead into the cave, a car pulls up. Turning, I groan when I see Mike, Sammy, and the Frog brothers in our grandfather's car.

"Kiri!" Sammy exclaims.

"Another bloodsucker," Edgar Frog frowns, then calls out. "You better not stop us or I'll stake you."

Rolling my eyes, I turn around and keep walking, entering the cave. They wouldn't do anything with me here. I wouldn't allow it.

They finally enter and I roll my eyes for a second time when the Frog brothers run in and immediately go for Star. The girl annoyed me so I couldn't care less if they staked her. Mike, unfortunately, did not agree.

"Don't you touch her!" he yells as Sammy helps him into the cave. "You stay away from her!"

The brothers mutter about vampire tempers before searching for the boys' day resting place. Realizing that the hole they were getting too close to was what they were looking for, I dash over and stand in front of it, crossing my arms.

"Move, bloodsucker," Edgar sneers, holding up a stake, "or I'll stake you."

Sammy runs over and pushes them back. "You're not staking my sister!"

"That thing isn't your sister anymore!"

"Yes, she is!" Sammy argues. "She may be a different species, but she's still my sister and I'm not gonna let you stake her."

"She's keeping us from ridding this town of bloodsuckers. I thought you wanted to get rid of them?"

Sammy looks conflicted. "If it means losing my sister, then no."

"Look, I'm pissed off at them, but no one gets to play god and decide who lives and who dies, no matter the species. Yes, they have killed people, but look at the people they've killed. They kill the menaces of society. Surf Nazis, corrupt security guards, abusers. How can you condemn them for that?"

Alan scoffs. "You just said that no one should play god. Now you change your mind to protect them."

I shake my head. "I never said I agree with what they're doing, but I'm saying that they aren't as bad as you believe them to be."

"They're bloodsuckers. They're unnatural creatures of the night. They deserve to die."

"Let's just go," Sammy insists. "Mike rescued his girl, so let's just leave these guys be."

Alan and Edgar share a look before huffing and stomping away. Sammy and I share a sigh of relief.

Turning to me, Sammy asks, "You comin'?"

I shake my head. "I'm gonna stay here. I'll see you later though."

"Alright."

I watch as Sammy leaves the cave before settling on one of the couches. I look around then curl up tighter and begin dozing, waiting for night to come and the boys to awaken.
