Second Star to the Right; Book 3 in Love is Weakness, (Carlos De Vil) Series

My Girl's a Biter

"Mal? Evie!" Shouted Raven.

"You were followed here by Isle trash?" Demanded Michael.

The valley was soon surrounded by the rest of the group. The girls were joined by Jay, Harry, Gil, Ben, and Carlos.

"That's a good and clever girl, Little One!" Peter complimented, enthusiastically. "It looks like you've already lured some new lost recruits back to us."

He turned his attention towards the VKs,

"Welcome lost boys! Come and join us. You will never again have to worry about hard, painful, or serious things. Here, you can be free to just be young. Something your world never allowed you to do. You can do whatever  you can imagine, everyday will be fun and adventure." Peter attempted to lure them.

Raven stomped on Peter's foot and he let go of the Pixie. She threw a kick at him and he lunged backward, as she attempted her escape.

Michael quickly caught the Pixie from behind, and picked her up off the ground. Holding her with his arms tightly across her chest.

"It wasn't just a coincidence that you came here after I'd already returned. We will be so powerful together." Michael whispered to Raven, his lips grazing her ear.

"Get off of her!" Carlos growled, in warning.

Raven, then quickly, and as hard as she could muster, bit Michael on the forearm. Her teeth bared down through skin and muscle, until she tasted blood.

Michael cried out and dropped Raven onto the ground.

Michael was nursing his wound and applying pressure to his forearm; scrunching his face in surprise and disgust.

"Didn't anyone warn you?" Carlos taunted Michael, with pride in his voice.
"My girl's a biter!"

Raven ran to stand in front of her friends, on the hill above the campsite, cutting off Pan and blocking him.

"No, Daddy!" Raven spat out the word like poison. "You're not getting anywhere near them!"

Carlos ran behind her and put his hands on her waist, protectively.

"Is this boy your distraction? I won't have you polluted by Isle garbage!" Shouted Peter. "Although...he does seem to have a semblance of spirit and bravery. He will make a fair recruit."

Carlos glared, in anger.

"This "boy" is the love of my life, my one true love. And they're my real family. You're the polluted one! You fill everything you touch with poison." Raven defended.

She turned to plead with Michael, "Don't you see what he's done to you?"

"My family chose to leave, to grow up! They didn't understand. Peter is my family now. And soon, you will be too. With your power we can bring back the magic, and make it so that we can rule here forever. Never aging, never dying, and never leaving." Michael replied, with hopeful lunacy.

"I will have them, Little One--and you're not going anywhere. You will unite yourself with Michael. You will be useful and serve our purpose. The adventures, the games, the hunt, and the battles will go on forever." Peter stated, with resolve.

Harry had heard enough. He came barrelling over the hill and ran at Michael.

"We meet again, lost boy." Taunted Harry, sword unsheathed and hook prepared.

Jay lunged forward to join Harry, but was held back by Gil, who shook his head.

"Unfinished business?" Jay surmised, understanding now that this was Harry's fight.
