The Lost Boys Imagines and Preferences (Book 2)

Bad Moon Rising

The Boys X Reader

The howling rung in her ears, producing a greater stride in her as she galloped out of the forest, stepping onto the asphalt. Blinding lights collided with her vision and she flew backward from the impact. It all went black from there.

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

Machines beeped and needles slid into her skin, causing her visions to return. She thrashed under hospital covers and limbs pinned her down. She didn't know what came over here, but the doctor struck the back wall, his breathing ragged.

A stinging in her neck brought her to life and out of the visions. She apologized profusely, telling them of her dreams that paralyzed her body. She didn't have to look. They were terrified of her and so was she, scared of herself. She closed her eyes as sleep took over and a separate nurse wheeled her outside the room. She wouldn't be waking for awhile.

"The anesthetic works. Thought I was gonna have to kill her for a minute." He confirmed, shutting his phone off.

She woke bound to a metal dentist chair, the chains biting into her skin. "Damn it." She croaked. "Where am I?"

"Home." He answered, unlocking her restraints. The floor was rocky and at a freezing temperature as she scaled the long, curling stairs. Darkness greeted her and she froze, listening for anything suspicious. "Welcome to our humble abode."

She must've been going crazy. There was no actual way humans would live in a cave. "What is this?" She writhed in pain, a fire spreading from her legs, to her hands and chest. Soon it took over her entire body and she was set down on a cool, stone slab. "Are you going to kill me?"

Marko hadn't intended to scare her. He just knew the doctors wouldn't have been able to heal her, at least, not while she was still living. "Nothing is going to happen to you." He laid his hand against her forehead and was met with a heat that killed. Where was David when you needed him? "Dwayne!" He called to the grumpy, caring vampire.

She froze and lay still, her heart dying with every beat. "I'm dying, aren't I?" She whimpered. "Don't lie to me."

"Yes, you're dying, but I can fix that." He could see her wolf gene battling with the new vampire DNA attaching itself to her.

"How?" Her back arched and she yowled in pain. "Just make it go away." Her grip on his hand was enough to cause him pain. 

Dwayne entered the sacred, initiation circle and glanced at the burning girl. "Marko, what did you do?"

"It wasn't him." She whispered, showing them both the bloody mess on her side. "There was something in the woods. I'm a nature photographer, meaning I've adjusted pretty much my entire schedule to photograph at night." She daintily explains, despite the pain. 

Marko looks to Dwayne for support. And he nods. Without a second thought, Marko cuts the vein at the base of his neck and pulls the girl up to the main source. She drank till she was full of his blood with a dreary expression. Her pain was gone, but the heat raged on. Marko's drip had healed and he was weak from blood loss. Dwayne stroked the girl's forehead and nodded. "She'll be fine. I can already feel it working."

"Good." Marko collapsed beside the girl. 

The sun had risen. 

"Bad Moon Rising sounds about right."

 The cave was alive with activity. David and Paul were enraged about the hybrid on their leader's throne, but Marko and Dwayne managed to prove their point. 

She looked at all of them, her head pounding and vision slightly fuzzy. Where they fighting because of her?

"Hello?" She whimpered, catching Marko's undivided attention. "What's wrong with me? It hurts." She collapses into Marko's arms and he holds her. She was fully rested and a half.

"Whatever bit you has been dealt with. You're a hybrid now and you need to drink if you want to live." Dwayne said, guiding her to the back room, their feeding room where a guy she'd seen with his gang tied to a heart monitor. "We keep our feeders alive and breathing until they're fully drained."

"You're saying I have to drink blood?" She was in shock. It was illegal to do it. How'd they get away with it?
"Are you a bunch of vampires?"

The boys glance at each other. "Well, yeah."

"I'm losing it." She shakes her head. "Vampires are not real, only werewolves are. There's no way for them to exist." She crossed her arms and walked out, not putting up with the boys. They could've doped her up with something and that's why she felt hungry; most drugs did that.

The sun warmed her skin, but she didn't burn. Vampires burned, werewolves didn't. What about hybrids? She thought they were crazy, but who knew she was actually her worst nightmare.
