just for you Chris Last contribution before the weekend..


After their trade was done, the companions went back outside and walked over to the villes rooming house to setup Ryan and Krysty for a few nights, and give them time to visit. They traded some more brass for 3 nights in one of the bigger rooms. Hot water was piped in from a roof cistern, and oil lamps were provided. The door had a good solid lock on it and once again J.B.’s handiwork was evident. They got settled and had some time to sit and chat. Kris had to go off and report for his sec shift and promised to stop by later. He left the room with a kiss on Rain’s cheek and a stern look from Ryan at his back.

“So, what is that all about?” Ryan accused of Rain. She sighed, slumped back in her chair and looked him squarely in the eye. “He is the nicest and most kind person I have ever met, and has a real good fighting spirit. He has taught me some good blade moves. And besides, he is real cute! I love him and he is completely loyal to me. And before you get all suspicious, it took 2 months for him to admit he liked me and I had to kiss him 1st!” “Ryan’s face turned beat red at the flurry of her rant, and felt even slightly embarrassed at his thoughts about this situation. To know his daughter took advantage of Kris and not the other way around was surprising, but not out of character. She saw something she wanted and went after it, as he would have. But the thought of his precious daughter and this boy was making him overprotective. “Don’t you think he was cool and slow about it to trick you? All men want the same thing, a good blaster and a roll with a hot woman. No difference now or 1000 years ago.” “Dad. I know what I am doing. I would not have let him near me if all I thought he wanted was my body. We talk all the time, he protects me, likes me for who I am as well as what I look like. We are comfortable around each other and he has never shown anything but kindness and interest in me. Usually when I meet someone they want to hear about you and mom. But with him he only wants to talk about me and us, and his dreams for the future. He is kind and sincere, I can smell bullshit a mile away.”

Krysty let out a whoosh of air from her lips. “All we want is your happiness and well being. Your dad and I trust you, but you know we always want you to be safe. If this boy makes you happy, then we can accept it, in time. For us you will always be the little 5 year old that started asking about blasters and how you would never leave us. It’s hard for us. We’ll give him a fair shake, and know you will make the right decisions. I was younger than you when I was with the 1st man I cared for. So I have nothing to say for that. Be careful, be safe, and watch out for him if you can. Your dad and I have a bond no one can break, and we wish you that kind of love too. If you have found it in this boy then it will only make you stronger.” “I have mom. He hasn’t made any false promises like other men have in the past, no grand schemes or thoughts of being a Barron and all that. He has looked after me and I can see it in his eyes and his actions he truly cares for me and my well being” “Ok good, I’ll talk to him and see what he wants to say to me and then I’ll let you know what I think. For now I’ll trust your judgment, but it’s hard for me to see you giving your attention to anyone. Is that understandable? “Ryan asked. “Oh of course daddy! I wouldn’t have it any other way!” And Rain walked over and gave her dad a hug. “I have to go prepare for classes tomorrow, so I’ll see you later for dinner?” “Sure, we’ll meet you then.” Ryan said. Rain left and Ryan and Krysty were left alone in the room. “She has turned into some woman eh lover?” Krysty asked. “Yeah, I just didn’t think she would grow up so fast is all. The world waits for no one I guess” Ryan sighed.

Rain had gone back to her room and when she got there felt bad for not inviting them over to see it. Not that her room was much and all. And she did have school work to do. She realized how much she had missed her parents but also how much she had grown while she was here. A ville person who commanded a lot of respect, and her studies were going well. Too well almost. She knew more than most of the other students because her parents had educated her as best as they could. Most of the basic language classes she had no trouble with of course. And her combat stuff was of course 2nd nature. It was the other classes she truly loved. Working on machines and learning skills like building wooden structures, maintaining the heavy weapons of the ville, and her frequent field trips to Dan’s shop to learn how to build the stuff the ville needed really got her attention. She felt as her time at the Brody school was benefiting her, but was looking and hoping for more. The term was about 2/3’rds over. Every student either left after the warm season to go help at their homes or to go seek warmer places during the winter. Her parents had picked where they lived carefully. It was southern enough to be warm in the winter months and not see too much snow. But not be bastard hot in the summer. J.B. had said they were in the former state of Kentucky. The soil was fertile and some in-land lakes had formed to give them fresh water close by. The Appalachian’s shielded them from any real bad Lantic storms, and because they were not near any of the bigger cities they nuclear strikes hadn’t come very close, so there were no real bad hellzones. The area made it a good place also for the redoubts, and that was why they had several near them and to the school. Being near enough to the middle of the former US had put them on the trade routes but out of the way enough to be left alone. Rain had seen a good part of deathlands in her time and wanted to see more. And when her studies weren’t really taxing her, her mind wandered to the places her parents talked about. She wanted to travel and see how the land was recovering. By herself, a trip was really out of the question. With no backup, or no one to take a watch at night, she was too exposed to attack and was defenseless when she had to sleep. But with Kris now in her life, her thoughts wandered to travels outside of where she had been. She trusted him, and had been thinking for a while about asking if he wanted to head out for an extended time with her. With her parents here she would ask them what they thought. She knew the answer; they’d be very worried. But she was really starting to be her own woman now and could do what she wanted. The rebellious side of being a Cawdor was coming out, and it was forceful! She turned her attention back to her work and planned to broach the subject later.

thanks Dan.Just keeps getting better bro!

I'm gonna send you one of my C.D.'s and a band photo (autographed)

heh..cool...and a little more for you...

Kris was having a worse time. All the guys on his sec watch were ridding him about Rain’s dad being here. “Kris the nutless freak!” they had all taken up the chant when he came on duty. No one believed he was gonna escape Ryan’s wrath at him fucking his daughter. All the guys were jealous of course. Rain was beautiful and a good fighter and she gained their respect fast. But all left her alone with Kris being with her. They liked him and none was better than him with a blade, all feared a knife in the ribs if they made him mad. But no one was fiercer then Ryan. The fact his wag could level the whole town in minutes was enough. So his watch that night was full of taunts. “Can you still piss right if you have no nuts?” “You’d need smaller pants to be made if your sack isn’t there anymore?” Even the gaudy’s won’t touch you if your balls are spiked to the wall!” Think Ryan keeps your stones in a bag after he cuts them off? Kinda like a Trophy?” It continued non-stop for 3 hours. Finally he got tired of it. He was the boss on this watch. He calmly pulled out his Boker switchblade and began methodically sharpening the blade on a stone he had. The action was enough to signal the end of the jibes he was getting. The wicked blade was only 3 inches long, but it was so bastard sharp he could shave with it. Or kill a man with a quick flick of the wrist along the throat. They also knew he could throw it better than anyone. His annoyance didn’t go away when the other sec all left him alone, but his apprehension at Ryan’s presence hadn’t gone away. No matter what the challenge he knew Ryan was probably the most battle hardened man still alive today. “Fireblast!” he swore as he lost his concentration and cut his finger on the blade. Realizing he was afraid of a man for the 1st time in his life. It didn’t sit well with him. But he was determined to make Ryan like and respect him. The fact he was still in one piece helped a little. He sighed and looked out over the darkening sky and knew a storm was coming. Hopefully it wouldn’t be too bad that night.

Around the same time Rain had finished up her work and put it in Elaine’s box for review. It was a simple set of math problems that she had to work out. Math was tough but she knew it had applications for almost any kind of life situation. So she did it happily even though other students grumbled. She had been interrupted many times while working but the other kids wanting to ask about her mom and dad showing up and questions about their wag. She got similar ribbing to Kris, but about him. “Think your dad is gonna kill him or give him more scars?” Will he want to fight Kris to see if he is good or not?” “Can I take a ride in their wag?” She had to stop all the visitors by closing her door and locking it and turning down her lamp to low so the light didn’t shine under the door. The other kids left her alone after that, but she too was wondering about the meeting between her dad and Kris the next day. She sighed and used one of Doc’s favorite expressions...”By the Three Kennedy’s! I hope they don’t come back all messed up!”

Dinner that night was a good time for all. The eating house had a lot of decent sized tables and plenty of places for people to sit and eat. It was also the impromptu meeting hall of the town. The Barron, his wife, 2 sec guards, Ryan, Krysty and Rain all sat down to dinner. Other ville folk were there as well, including Sonny and Dan and other people whose duties allowed them to eat at this time. The kitchen had prepared some wild rabbit that had fresh salt and some pepper and some wild mint mixed in. Also being served was warm “shine” bread. The baker mixed in some of their local shine in the batter, the heat from the dutch oven cooked off the alcohol but left a sweet wild berry flavor to the bread. They even had some butter that was churned in the mill. A soup with some vegetables was also served, the broth filtered water with a chicken carcass cooked in it with more salt for flavor. The food was all served warm by the staff in the kitchen, all were young men and women who liked their jobs and brought food requests out quickly. The shine made in the ville was also in abundance, but Houston had strict rules for consumption of that in the eating house. He wanted no drunken fights taking place. Krysty and Ryan were used to eating well at their ranch, but visiting this ville was always a joy. They filled their bellies and remarked how they had never eaten better in deathlands. The cook, a thin man named Rogers was one of the prized members of Houston’s community. He couldn’t hold a blade or shoot worth a damm, but his cooking gave him a status that could never be challenged. And Houston gave him whatever he wanted in exchange for his terrific cooking. And he got days off out of the hot kitchen with recipies laid out for the other kitchen staff to follow in his absence. “Barron, I don’t care about your shine or your armory or your jack. But this food is the best anywhere, and is the reason we always look forward to coming here” Ryan stated loudly. It was a compliment that the Barron took very well and his smile showed it. “We do our best, Rogers is the real secret, and I wouldn’t trade him for all the jack in deathlands.” “As well you shouldn’t. Making food taste this good is a lost skill for sure.” Krysty said. She and Ryan both leaned back in their chairs satiated from the hearty meal. And when the staff brought out some blueberry pie as a desert. They had to pass. Ryan let out a big belch and Krysty elbowed him in the ribs. “Ouch! What did you do that for?” Ryan asked. “Mind your manners! Our Daughter is present!” Krysty scolded. “Ma’am, it is ok, it is a compliment to Rogers that his food is liked and well received.” Houston advised. Ryan smirked at Krysty and she elbowed him in the ribs again. This caused Rain to almost spit out her soup onto the table as she laughed. She smiled and thought to herself how nice this was, the time with her parents in safety and eating great food like this. But she missed Kris. His sec duty wasn’t scheduled to end for another few hours, and by that time she would be asleep. She wasn’t going to risk having him come over and spend the night with her while her parents were around. Too much disrespect she thought for her dad to handle.

Keeps getting better and better Dan.Man I am stoked for the big showdown!!!

it will be a while man..they gotta splill some blood together 1st!!..and still waiting to hear from ron if my sex scenes are ok to post....

Ok man.Sounds reasonable to me.It just keeps getting better and better bro.I am really looking forward to some action man!!!

Ron said no to graphic scene posted here for the world to see..so i'm going to totally respect that...i'll make it a mention instead of a description in my futher postings...

Well unless we have a way of keeping the kiddies out of here ....

Would not want Mom to catch little Johnny flogging the bishop reading one of Dan's posts ...

It is a sad comment on our society that we would rather have our kids see graphic violence rather than 2 people making love.

Yeah Mac,That's been something I have had a problem with for some time.You can send an 18 yr old kid off to war,just as long as he aint allowed to have a beer ot get laid at a brothel first?I love my country,but the puritannical idiots on the left and right have destroyed all common sense.Sex and nudity is evil.Watching someone get eviscerated or blown to pieces is less traumatic?WTF???

I would have liked to have read Dan's posts unedited (the "unplugged" version?) and in keeping with the flavor of the books some semi-graphic sex would not be out of character. I have been kicking around a DL novel idea myself for some time. And although I am a published author (FRPG, SciFi RPG, and SASS manuals) I doubt that I would ever get it published. Seems GE has a stable of authors that they assign books to write.

I never did get that either. If you have cable watch HBO Generation Kill - it is an interesting look at soldiers today. Some of the assumptions seem wrong to me but the show has an interesting premise.

I actually watched all of Generation Kill last summer on HBO Mac.

i'm happy to post my scene someplace more private...i do understand though....this is a public forum and sure there is tons of adult stuff out there...but Ron doesn't think everyone needs to see it here..that is why i asked...and i'm happy to respect hs wishes....i'll e-mail anyone that wants to read it..only a paragraph or so anyway.....

Well,you know to mail me one.

will do when i get to that point in the story and want to post it...

you need a line editor. you have lots of spelling and grammer mistakes here. have you tried using a spell checker before you post ?

i just haven't cared to edit it much...i use spellcheck....but this is not the final version..i've decided to write the full book and try to get it published..when it is all written i will edit..but as fant fiction i haven't bothered to put in the time...just don't care at this stage...trying to get content down and not make it perfect...

Well,rather than bust your balls over grammar and spelling errors Dan,I actually read the installment and loved it!Pls keep it coming bro.Since Gold Eagle does not have you on the payroll I could give a rats ass about the Grammar and Spelling,I am far more interested in your kickass story.

heh..thanks bro....i just type like mad and go bac kand fix the big stuff..yeah i know it has errors in it..but haven't tried to make it perfect....i do the best i cna but try to get the content out there..thanks bro!

i'll add a few more paragraphs today - but then i may be done for the week..depends on my work schedule...the next section after this was the "sex" section..so i have to do some major editing to make it ok to post here...

“Girl, if I hadn’t been here I think your dad would have beaten you to death!” Krysty intoned. The remark took Rain by surprise. “Think dad would hurt me? I mean he has slapped me from time to time when I have been mean to him. But I deserved it.” “Maybe not” Krysty responded. “But Kris wouldn’t have seen daybreak for sure.” Your dad would have made his death very slow and very painful.” Rain though her mom was joking, but the look in her eyes told her otherwise. She knew her dad as a firm but kind man to her. But she had seen what he was capable of a few times. And had heard about his exploits many times and the level he was willing to go to defending his loved ones. And she knew her mom was right. “Damm, I don’t want him mad at Kris. It was both of our idea to get involved and we both wanted each other. Sex is fun and I like it!” “Woah!” Krysty almost yelled. “Just casue I’m your mom and understand does NOT mean I want to hear about it ok? Your life is your own, but please don’t share! It is tough for me too! You are the little 8lb baby I birthed so long ago, smiling and laughing at our faces. It’s hard to think of you this way for me as well. Be careful. I taught you all I know about your body and when to do stuff because I knew this day would come. But for all of our sakes, please keep that to yourself!” Rain put her head down and knew she had made a mistake with her mom. She was always the one to champion here to her dad, and defend her actions. She needed her on her side to keep her dad from going into a homicidal fury. “Sorry mom” she whispered. “I love him and I just wanted to share with you. “I know” Krysty replied. “Talk about the good everyday stuff, but your private life is just that. Private. Enjoy being young and happy. The world is a cruel place still, and I’m afraid of something happening to him and you not being prepared to deal with it. It is too painful to prepare for. Rain had never though of losing Kris. But she knew anything could happen in deathlands. He had almost been bitten by a mutie rattler a few weeks back. They laughed about it at the time. But if he had been bitten he would have died for sure. That hit her hard. And she knew she had to cherish her time with him but steel herself in case of the worst case. “Ok mom, I’ll think about it.” “Good, well I’ll go see to your father and try to get him to sleep. In the morning we’ll start fresh and have some time together while the boys go play.” “Ok mom, thanks.” Rain hugged her mom again and then watched as she too walked to the rooming house. Rain was lost in her thoughts about Kris and what it would mean to her if he got chilled somehow. She wanted to hug him and kiss him right then but he was on sec duty. She lay down in her bed and drifted off to a restless sleep dreaming of giant snakes eating her man.
