Cry Little Sister

Disclaimer: I do not own The Lost Boys. Sheryl and Wanda belong to me.

A/N: Fast update! I went back and deleted the old "chapter eleven" (the author's note/apology).

---Epilogue

Alan knew what had happened to her the second he laid eyes on her missing poster. She hadn't run away after her mother's death like the cops probably thought. She had just been another unfortunate victim of Santa Carla's resident biker vampire gang. He was almost sad to know that she was dead, but he hadn't actually known her, so it didn't really matter. They'd lost newcomers before; she wasn't the first and she wasn't going to be the last.

"Don't take it so hard," Edgar said nonchalantly as he slapped his brother on the back. "We can't save them all."

"Right."

He shook his head to clear his thoughts of her. He headed back to the front of the shop and stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted something on the counter. It was a copy of Vampires Everywhere, lying neatly beside the cash register. He picked it up and stared at it for a moment as the gears in his head turned.

She hadn't been just another victim. She was one of them now.

He calmly returned the comic to its original place, swearing under his breath that they would save the next one. Even if it meant confronting the bloodsuckers themselves, he wouldn't watch another hapless newcomer to Santa Carla "go missing."

"We can't save them all."

Alan closed his eyes, his hand lingering on the comic.

Right . . . like they'd actually saved anyone.

But that would change. It would.

A/N: THE END. No, but seriously, does anyone think I should maybe continue or anything? It would probably be a few months before I would actually write anything, but I could give it a try if someone wants. I'm open to suggestions. I admit, I was thinking about writing a version of the movie with Wanda in it. You know...and let the boys live. I was also kinda thinking about writing about when they find Laddie. What do you think?

THANKS FOR STICKING WITH THIS! I really appreciate. Glad people enjoyed it.
