I led Ashley down into the entrance of the cave. I could still smell her arousal. I knew the boys would smell it to and say something. That would annoy Michael and I needed Michael. He's crucial to Max's plan.

I entered the cave with Ashley behind me. The harsh light of the fire stung my eyes. It took a for minutes for my eyes to adjust to the light.

"Ooo where have you guys been?" Teased Paul as we entered the main area of the cave.

"Shut up Paul" I heard a voice say from behind me. She didn't have to do much to make me laugh.

"I guess the other gave you the grand tour Michael?" I asked him.

"Yeh they did" he replied sternly obviously still annoyed with me and Ashley.

"So do you like it Mikey?" Teased Paul.

He hesitated to answer when Ashley butted in.

"I like it I dunno about Mike he likes to be clean" she laughed. I walked further into the cave and sat down on my wheelchair.

David went to sit down an old wheelchair. I looked around for a spot to sit and saw a space between Paul and Marko. I sat in between in this old red velvet couch. As soon as I sat down Paul placed his arm round my shoulder.

"Hey babe" he whispered in my ear.

"Hi" I blushed. I looked at David to see if he was going to do anything about Paul being so touchy but he didn't seem bothered and just smiled at me.

I looked over towards Marko and saw Dwayne sat at his feet looking bored unamused with life.

"So what did you and Davey boy get up to all alone?" Questioned Marko teasingly. I blushed so hard I could feel my cheeks burning.

"Uhh nothing" I replied obviously lying. I head David chuckle in the background.

Suddenly Michael stood up. "Enough what are we doing here?!" He exclaimed.

"Michael rights we need food! Marko food!" Said David. With that Marko shot up and was out of the cave. I could hear a motorbike rumbling then nothing. Michael sat back down realising that leaving this place was not going to happen anytime soon.

"So Michael how you liking Santa Carla?" Asked David menacingly.

"It's alright I guess not as good as phoenix" he stated glumly.

"Ashley what about you?" Asked Paul whilst placing his other hand in my thigh.

"Phoenix was nice but I never felt alive there. Santa Carla is miles better!" I exclaimed.

"Are we by any chance the reason you like Santa Carlo so much Ash? Asked Paul teasingly.

"I don't know maybe" I teased back whilst smirking. He rolled his eyes at me and I heard David chuckle. Dwayne was now reading a book and blocking out his surroundings.

Star and Michael were chatting privately whilst me David and Paul were chatting about the cave.

Suddenly Marko burst through the entrance and into the main room. "Feeding time come and get it boys and girls!" He exclaimed. He places the bag of food down on the fountain in the middle of the room. The smell of rice and noodles hit my senses. It smelled amazing and I was starving.

Marko knelt down by the food and handed out the boxes of Chinese food. He grabbed a box and walked over to me.

"Ladies first" he said whilst offering the food to me. I grabbed the box.

"Thanks I'm starving" I said gratefully.

He passed two boxes to David.

"Over here bud" called Paul. Marko turned to Paul and chucked a box to Paul and Dwayne.

"Chinese good choice. Guests first." He said offering whilst offering a box of rice to Michael.

"No I'm alright" mumbled Mike in reply to him. He was obviously still annoyed that we were here.

"You don't like rice? Tell me Michael how can a billion Chinese people be wrong." He said with a menacing laugh. Paul turned to me and laughed. I smiled at him in amusement.

"Come on" said David persuasively.

Michael took the box after seeing that I was eating mine. I tried to smile at him but he wouldn't look at my face.

Michael took a mouthful of the rice and seemed to like it. I don't think either of us had ever had Chinese food before but it tasted great.

"How those maggots?" Asked David whilst picking at his food. Michael looked at him in shock. I looked over at David confused.

"You're eating maggots. How do they taste?"

Michael laughed at me as he knew I was joking yet he still checked the rice. I burst into laughter to see Michael spit out the rice. I looked over to Ashley who was looking at Michael like he was insane. Did my mind trick not work on her?

"Leave him alone" cried Star. She was really starting to get on my nerves but the boys and I needed her. I looked at Ashley who was rolling her eyes at her. She made me smile as she was thinking the exact same as I was.

"Sorry about that. No hard feelings right?" I said.

"No" he mumbled as a response trying to brush of what just happened.

David leaned towards Michael. "Why don't you try some noodles?" The boys all laughed as if they were a part of some inside joke.

"They're worms" replied Michael with a half annoyed sigh. I leaned forward trying to see inside the box. I saw that the contents of the box were just noodles. I slumped back in the couch in confusion. Paul looked at me puzzled as if something was wrong.

"What's up babe?" He whispered into my ear. I could feel his breath on my neck as he whispers the words.

"Nothing" I replied lying. I placed my hand on his to reassure him I was okay. Those same sparks shot up my arm from when I touched David. Our eyes met for what felt like minutes but was probably just a few minutes.

I snapped out of the trance to see Michael snatching a box of food from David's hand. He inspected the food as if he was expecting to find something other than noodles. He chuckled in disbelief. The others were laughing at him.

"That's enough" said Star sternly but almost as if she was scared at the same time.

Marko stepped towards David as he whispered something in ear. Marko nodded and left the main room. Only seconds later he returned with a bejewelled bottle. It was filled with what looked like red wine.

Marko passed the bottle to David. David stared at me and then at Michael as he took the top of the bottle. It came of with a satisfying pop sound. Star had moved to Mike's side like she was protecting him.

David moved the bottle to his lips and took a long sip of it's red contents. He brought the bottle back down to his lap. David seemed as if he had felt relief from drinking it's contents.

"Drink some of this Michael, be one of us" he said tauntingly.

Paul and Dwayne started chanting his name.

"Don't. You don't have to Michael. Its blood." Warned Star from behind him.

"Yeh right" he said and took a sip of the liquid. He moved the bottle away from his lips and looked as if he had just gotten high from the experience.

Cheers were heard from all over the cave except from Star who had backed away from Mike and the others. Paul and Dwayne got up to surround Michael and congratulate him.

"Okay okay. If my wimp of a brother is brave enough to drink whatever the hell that is then so am I!" I exclaimed confidently.

David walked over to me bottle in his hand. He lifted his hand to my cheek and asked "are you sure?".

"Completely sure. I want this" I replied. He smiled at my response. He raised the bottle to his lips and emptied the contents into his mouth. He dropped the bottle onto the couch. He proceeded to grab my waist and pull into his body. He placed his lips on mine and let the liquid fill my mouth. The sweet fluid coated my throat and my mouth. I instantly felt more alive as I swallowed the substance.

His lips pulled away from mine but I craved more. I pulled his body on top of mine as we kissed on the velvet couch. The rest of the night was a complete blur.
