Jared the Paramedic - Volume II
Chapter 26 - Awakenings Dawn


That evening, the men climbed out of the two vehicles, stretching.

"Grandfather," called Jared and he walked towards him.

"Jared my grandson, how was the trip up here?"  The older man reached out
and embraced his grandson warmly.  "It is so good to see you, Jared."

They separated.  Liam reached his hand out to shake when the older man
pulled him in for a tight embrace.  "Welcome to my home, Liam, soulmate of
Jared."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

They separated.  "I have moose, elk, and some ducks slow roasting in the
coals of the fire in mud packs, Jared.  Maybe you could get your friends to
help set up the pup tent for you to sleep in before supper and dark."

Darren looked up.  "You mean like a kid's single person pup tent?  I was
hoping for something more rustic."

"Darren, we're going to set up a large teepee for you guys to sleep in, no
worries," laughed the old man.

"He's got your number, Darren," chirped Tyler.

Grandfather looked at Tyler and smirked as he reached out and put his arm
around Tyler's shoulders.  "Jared, you are missing three of your brothers,
aren't you?  Where are Conner, Mark and Adam?" asked Grandfather
innocently.

"Conner and Mark are with Frank at their house.  Mark is having some
discussions with his school to change programs.  Conner is with him
basically because they are never far apart from each other and he is also
applying to Paramedic school.  Adam is helping his grandfather at the store
and is going to try and come up."

Liam spoke up, "Grandfather, I had a vision one night they would all join
us here."

"As I did Liam, and as well as Tom making a phone call to tell me Adam is
on his way.  It was nice to talk with my old friend again, but I couldn't
convince him to come with Adam for a visit."

Grandfather's cabin was really a fairly basic 600 sq. ft. log cabin with
two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom.  It was heated by wood
stove and electricity.  There was not a lot of furniture in it, but all of
it had been handmade and was comfortable.  The cabin wasn't sparsely
furnished; it just wasn't packed with useless items similar to many homes
in the city.

Grandfather designated Jared to sort out the tarps while the rest of the
men would learn to build the structure.  After lashing four main poles
ranging in length from 14-16' together, the men began to carefully place
additional poles around the structure as the old man demonstrated the use
the use of the rope to secure them.  This was a larger shelter and by the
time they were finished, there was 20 poles in a traditional teepee shape.
While they were making the structure, the men were all joking with each
other as well as answering some questions from Grandfather about their
lives or work.

Jared and Liam brought the canvas tarps and they wrapped the structure,
allowing for the rain and ventilation flap on the top.  That flap is
controlled by the movement of a pole to open or close it.  Grandfather had
the men move the furs inside to sleep on and showed them where the fire
would be built if it were needed. The teepee was large, and very wide at
the base.  Measuring from one side to the other, this teepee was designed
for a couple of families and was 21' wide.  There were numerous furs and
blankets placed into the teepee which made it very comfortable.  With the
base being wide, it allowed each couple some privacy under the blankets if
they so desired it.

The men all ran back to the vehicles and brought their packs back to their
temporary accommodation, staking out their spots for the next couple of
nights.  Grandfather broke the silence as they were setting out their
sleeping bags.  "It's time for us to get the rest of supper together as the
meat will be done soon.  Also, Adam is almost here."

Josh asked, "Did you see it in a vision Grandfather?"

"No, the dust cloud rising from the gravel road over there," he said
pointing with a big smile on his face.

Josh looked at the cloud rising in the distance.  Then he looked at
Grandfather and said, "DOH!"  They both laughed loudly.

The men were working on the meal when Adam pulled up.  Everyone warmly
embraced the young man in greeting as soon as he got out of his vehicle.
Thirty minutes later, there was another vehicle raising a dust trail into
the sunset behind it as it approached the cabin.

Josh was staring at the vehicle when he recognized it.  "Hey, that looks
like Frank's SUV."

"Frank's SUV? It can't be.  He wasn't coming and he doesn't even know where
we are," said Tyler.

"I called and personally invited him," Grandfather said quietly as he
walked by the men with a plate of baked potatoes. "Get the rest of the food
from the kitchen and bring it out please."

The group all stood there with their mouths hanging open at Grandfather's
statement.  They were amazed he had called Frank and had changed Frank's
mind about coming.  They hadn't moved for a moment when Grandfather
suggested they close their mouths before the fly's go in or their faces
stayed frozen like that for the rest of their lives.

Shortly after that, the SUV pulled up and two of the doors flew open almost
before it was in park.  Conner and Mark jumped out and ran to the group of
men as they moved to meet their little brothers with a hug.

Grandfather had put the potatoes on the table and walked towards Frank with
his hand extended.  "It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Frank.  Please,
call me Matt or Mathew."

"Mathew, it is beautiful up here.  I can't think of the last time I was out
of the city this far."

"Frank, once you have been here, it will always be calling you to come
back.  You will always be welcome here, my new friend."

Tyler brought the two young men over to Grandfather and introduced them.
Grandfather gave them both a hug.  "Its supper time men, and there's lots
of food."

Conner asked, "Is there really moose and elk meat here to eat? Duck too?
I've never had anything but the usual stuff."

"There is lots of food and many varieties for you guys; moose, elk, deer,
and other wild meats too.  I don't eat squirrel or frogs like those duck
hicks in the south on that TV show though.  I call squirrels tree rats,
good for nothing.  Besides that, their meat is tough and by the time you
skin them, there's nothing left."

They all moved towards and sat at a long table outdoors.  After Grandfather
said a prayer, they began to eat.

Frank sat near Jared and Liam while Mark and Conner sat on each side of
Grandfather.  Matt enjoyed having the two youngest sitting with him as he
explained to them the different meats they were eating and how it was
prepared.  The table was filled with laughter, and stories were exchanged
between everyone.

"Frank, I like the idea you're here, but how?" asked Josh.

"Matt called me and we had a long talk, which I really enjoyed.  Talking
with him I soon realized this was one of those times I should be making the
time to be with my son.  Enjoying our time together now before he's gone on
his own.  I mean not only to spend quality time with him, but with his
friends too."

Mark added, "I was floored when he said we were coming.  Conner and I were
disappointed we couldn't come with you guys, but we were fine at home."

Frank laughed, "If you count tripping over your lips and all the loud sighs
you two were doing as you laid on the floor or couch like harpooned
whales."

The two young men were too busy eating to argue, but the rest chuckled.

"I also promised Frank he could sleep inside the cabin while all the kids
were out in the teepee," said Grandfather.

Jesse called from the other end of the table, "Kids?  I have underwear
older than Conner."

"He does guys, he really does," said Zane.

Liam smiled, "Jared had old underwear too, and I really enjoyed looking at
his butt through the thread bare shorts.  I tore them off him and said he
needed new stuff."

"We went underwear shopping together, and bought some really cute and
practical stuff for each other," added Jared.  Then he smirked, "And some
pretty skimpy stuff too."

Frank raised an eyebrow.  "Wasn't it you two who took my kids shopping?
They both have some nice clothing and some pretty wild coloured underwear
smaller than a speedo."

Liam pointed at Jared as Jared was pointing at Liam.  Frank laughed.  "I
still owe you for that stuff and a medal for getting Mark to cut his hair."

Mark gave him thumbs up but couldn't say anything as his mouth was full.

"We'll discuss it someday," replied Jared.  "I really enjoyed being with
the two of them and taking them shopping.  We had a lot of fun together."

Conner blurted out, "Did you say sleep in a real teepee before everyone
started talking about my underwear?"

 "Yup.  We just finished putting it together before supper," Tyler
answered.

"Way cool," Conner replied.

"What are we doing tomorrow?" asked Darren.

"Part of the day will be preparing for the sweat.  You guys wanted Frank to
understand some of the ways so I thought it would be good, more controlled
here with Jared, Liam and myself together," said Grandfather.

Frank smiled at Matt, "I'm looking forward to understanding this more too."

"I think it will be fun to teach you guys how to do some fishing.  Regular
fishing, fly fishing, and how to use spears too," said Grandfather. "Or you
guys can go for walks, swims in the river or lay in the sun."

Conner was getting anxious, "You mean fishing like they do on TV?"

Jesse laughed at the young man's reaction.  "Jared, does Liam have any
extra Ritalin to loan the little guy there?"

Liam stuck his tongue out at Jesse.  Jared was trying not to laugh at both
of them.

"I'm beginning to realize who's been teaching my son sarcasm, and from whom
he learned to stick his tongue out at people," Frank observed with a smirk.

The entire table yelled, "Liam!" and pointed at him.

Liam sat there feigning shock, and then innocence.  "Not me, Frank... yeah
I do it, but I'm not the only one."

Frank started to laugh at the young man's answer.  "Liam, unless you name
names, you're going down for it on your own."

Tyler and Josh both started to shake their heads and said, "Don't fall for
that old trick, Liam.  It's the oldest cop trick in the book to get names
of the other suspects by you selling out and giving up your buddies."

Liam smiled at the two of them and pointed at everyone else but Jared,
Conner and Mark.  "My boyfriend is totally innocent in this matter,"
declared Liam smugly.

The others started to voice their absolute innocence loudly.  Frank looked
at Mathew and found the old man sitting back in his chair laughing so hard
he almost couldn't breathe.

"Well, I find you all guilty, including Jared and Liam based upon my
personal experience with them, and don't even try to object or play
innocent with me, you two," proclaimed Frank.

Grandfather raised his hand and everyone froze.  "Before you begin to
profess your innocence, clear the table and go get the chocolate cheese
cake, chocolate syrup and ice cream for desert."

They all started to scramble to clear the table quickly, returning with the
requested items.  Soon enough, there was nothing left of the cake or the
gallon of ice cream.  There was also a sweet tea poured for everyone and
the stories and jokes started again.

"Tyler, where's Patrick?" asked Grandfather.

"He's not at all happy, Grandfather, because he's not here with all of us.
His volleyball team won the regionals so he had to go with them this
weekend to the finals," explained Tyler.

"It is unfortunate, Tyler, but he had a responsibility to the team.  He
made a good decision."

"Grandfather, he was very, very upset and there were some heated words
between us.  I hope there was nothing damaged which we cannot fix when we
get home."

Frank was sitting and watching everyone interact, and tuning into the
various conversations going on around the table.  He turned his attention
to his son and Conner talking with Mathew.

"Your son and Conner have both been filling me in on school as well as
their dreams of the future.  They have been doing a lot of planning," said
Grandfather.

"I just hope I can keep up with their financial needs," said Frank quietly
as he looked to the table.

"I have money from the settlement of the will and sale of the house," said
Conner.  "We can use that for school tuition and books."

Frank leaned over and ruffled the young man's hair with his big hand
playfully.  "Conner, I appreciate it but we will figure it out.  No
worries, little guy."  He looked at Grandfather and continued, "I guess I
have two sons now, and I couldn't ask for two better ones."

The two boys moved to hug each side of Frank, and after a moment sat back
down.

Conner had tears in his eyes, "Frank, I was disowned, thrown out and then
suddenly an orphan and now you call me son, something my own father didn't
even do for years. In fact, it was my father who tried to kill you and you
still took me in." Frank reached over and pulled the young man in for
another hug, holding him in tightly.  The young man relaxed his head on
Frank's shoulder, with his eyes closed but water running from them.

Frank turned his head and kissed the top of Conner's head gently and said,
"I don't hold you responsible for your father's actions.  I do thank you
for being in my son's and my life though.  You have brought joy to my house
again and made me appreciate my son again more than life.  Now I have both
you and Mark as my sons, and I couldn't be prouder or happier except when
Adam shows up."

Mark snuggled into his dad's other side, and Conner sobbed quietly.  Mark
moved over and snuggled into Conner.

"Jared," Grandfather called out.

Jared looked over to the head of table and said, "Yes, Grandfather."

"Are Conner and Mark official members of this family yet?"

"They will be inducted tomorrow night during the sweat, with your blessing
of course, Grandfather."

"Good enough for me," said Grandfather.  He turned to Frank and explained,
"As members of this special group of people, they not only become a tribe
of brothers, but family.  This family and tribe have a scholarship program
available for all of its members and these two now qualify."

Frank looked at the old man, and around at everyone else.  "Mathew, what
are you talking about?  I don't accept charity."  Frank was starting to get
upset, and both Josh and Tyler recognized the signs immediately.

Zane spoke first, "Frank, the family is paying for my university courses at
night school so I can get my masters in Social Work.  I couldn't afford it
otherwise."

Adam spoke next, "Frank, they are helping me with my application fee to the
paramedic program and will help with the tuition as well.  I didn't ask for
it, Grandfather Mathew asked for the documents and we sat and figured out
what I needed."

Jesse spoke up next, "Frank, they are paying for my belly dancing lessons
and Liam's French maid lessons too."  Jesse stood up and did a mock belly
dance while Liam stuck his tongue out at Jesse.  The entire group laughed
at the antics.

When they settled down, Tyler spoke, "Frank, we fully support any of our
brothers going to school.  Money should never be a prevention of getting an
education."

"I know all of you guys and you all work for a living.  I mean, you guys
are like me and have a decent paying job but there isn't much left over
after paying the bills.  How do you guys get the money?" asked Frank.

"Frank, may I have a discussion with you about that privately.  It's
nothing illegal or immoral, but it's not common knowledge with the newer
family members," said Jared.  "Grandfather and Jesse could sit with us as
well."

Frank was looking uncomfortable, so Jesse suggested, "Let's go for a walk
along the river and talk while the minions clean up and do the dishes.  Did
Liam bring his French maid outfit?" asked Jesse as he laughed.

Frank looked concerned at the mention of the outfit a second time until
Liam called Jesse a bitch, and with exaggeration, he waggled off with arms
full of dishes.  Jared explained the meaning of the French maid costume
which they were bugging Liam about and how Rob had reacted to it.  Frank
laughed once he understood and he added Liam didn't have the legs for a
short dress.  The entire table heard Liam yell to them they were all
assholes.

Grandfather, Jared, Jesse and Frank wandered towards the river, and found
four rocks to sit on along the bank.

They talked for thirty minutes, and had several contests of skipping stones
over the water the furthest.  Grandfather spoke, "Frank, I'm the one who
manages the education funds for the family members, not John, Jared or
Liam.  It's only money, Frank, and the Creator gave it to us to help
people. I'm comfortable here the way I live and I really enjoy helping
people. Frank, if you have a problem with this offer, it's your fucking
problem... not ours.  So either take the money, or quit fucking whining
about not being able to pay for it."

Both Jared and Jesse were staring at the ground as Grandfather was
speaking.

Frank looked up at the man when he swore.  No one speaks to him like that;
he's a shift commander, a senior cop and a father. He felt his face going
red and hot as the blood rushed to it.  This is some old man telling me I
have a problem with getting help from them.  Frank was grinding his teeth
when he finally looked at Mathew sitting near him.  Then it hit him, the
man was right.  It was his ego causing the problem, not this man reaching
out and making a helping gesture.

Frank laughed finally. "I accept, if they need it.  You're right Mathew, it
is my problem.  I can also see where Jared gets his ability to give me shit
now and speak his mind just like you did."

"Good, it's done; now it's time for a campfire," said Grandfather.

"Before that, if you guys are what you say you are in the business world,
and I do believe you, why are you still working so hard?"

"It's the path of life we are walking, besides that, Frank, I would have
been bored in an hour," said Jared.  "I'm a medicine man, and it's my
calling in life to do what I do."

"Me too," said Jesse.  "Nothing better to do and in all honesty, I would
have never learned what I learned or even met these people or more
importantly Zane.  They helped me too, Frank, before they even knew who I
was in the world.  Zane took me at my word alone and so did everyone else.
They just opened their hearts for me to walk into, and them into mine.  The
entire group just did what they could to help and have asked for nothing in
return, Frank."

"I know that's what they do Jesse and I apologise to all of you for my
attitude.  I'm not use to people helping me or anyone else because they
can.  People always make the offer to help, with hidden agendas or future
favours expected," said Frank.

"Done." said Grandfather. "Now, let's get to the campfire before all the
snacks are gone."

Frank enjoyed himself immensely sitting around the fire and roasting
marshmallows and making smores.  He had known these men through work, and
had a tremendous amount of respect for them professionally.  He was now
learning about them on a personal level, and enjoying that as well.  He
watched them interact with his son and Conner, and they really did treat
them as little brothers with lots of hugs, and patiently providing answers
to their questions and poking innocent fun at each of them.  Frank also
appreciated when Mark and Conner came and sat with him, one on each
shoulder and quietly watched the fire.  Mark and he had not snuggled like
this for years.

He had never been around a group of people like this before.  The youngest
was 18, and only god knows how old Mathew is and Frank himself is 48.  What
he couldn't believe was ages didn't matter, they were here as a group of
people.  He had never felt so comfortable with a group of people before,
even the young ones.

Frank suddenly realized he and Matt were the only two straight people here,
and he didn't care. He thought to himself, "Why would I differentiate like
that?"  None of these people were any lower in his opinion because of what
they were in life or their occupations, and he knew that had been a big
change for him.  He had always thought of the LGBT community as different,
not subhuman but just different.  When his son came out to him, it didn't
go well.  He and his son got involved with Jared and Liam and he's never
looked back since.  The two of them seem to fix whatever needs fixing.

Grandfather told the group a couple of stories of old legends which
involved some of the animals found in the area.  He did imitations of a
moose, elk, deer and a couple of carnivores like the coyote, badger and
wolverine.  Frank looked at the group while Grandfather was telling the
stories and saw everyone one of the men focused on his every word.

There were a few wolf howls in the distance, and it prompted Tyler, Troy,
Darren and Josh to answer them with their own howls.  Frank was amazed at
the way the four men howled so realistically it even caused the hairs on
the back of his neck to stand up.  The other wolves responded to the guys
howls, and they replied yet again. The four men were ready to howl one more
time when Grandfather raised his hand in a stop signal.

"Will you guys quit getting the locals worked up?  Just ignore them now or
the pack will drop in for territory scrap to check out the competition.
One more story before bed grandsons," said Grandfather.  The group was
disappointed, but were happy for one more story.

"Tyler and Josh, I need your help with this one.  Frank may even be able to
help you as well," said Grandfather.

"Sure thing, what do you need us to do?" asked Tyler.

"Just answer my questions.  Do you know what sound a cow makes in a field?"

"It moos," replied Josh.

"Make the sound grandsons," directed Grandfather.  The two men imitated a
cow by making a 'moo' sound and the group was laughing at their attempt.

"Do you two know what sound a sheep makes?" asked Grandfather.

The two men answered, "Baaa."

"What about a rooster?  Do you know what sound a rooster makes?"

The two men were laughing as they said, "Cock-a-doodle-do."

"Very good, do you know what sound a pig makes?"

The group was laughing as Josh and Tyler were imitating the snorts and
grunts of a pig.

"I'm sorry guys, that's not correct," said Grandfather.  The group looked
at him with surprise on their faces.  "The sound a pig makes is, 'Let me
see your driver's licence, registration and insurance.'"

The group's laughing covered the sound of Frank, Josh and Tyler groaning at
the joke.

Grandfather said goodnight, and Frank followed him up to the cabin.  The
rest were heading off to bed in the teepee.

As they were moving into the teepee to settle in for a sleep, Tyler, Troy,
Jared and Liam suddenly all locked eyes.  They had all heard their names
being screamed.  The men quickly formed a circle, sat down in the middle of
the Teepee, held hands and began a trance. Immediately, they locked onto to
the plea of Patrick, and headed to his location.

*****************************************

Patrick was walking home after spending Friday evening at the school
playing volleyball.  He really enjoyed playing volleyball and soccer
because they kept him moving as opposed to something like baseball.  He
really didn't like playing baseball because it was either sitting on the
bench or just standing in the field swatting at mosquitos.  Patrick knew he
was ADD and he had learned which sports helped burn off the excess energy.
He also knew when he was with Tyler, Troy and the rest he was very
comfortable and the ADD didn't seem to bother him or take control of him.
Patrick felt good around his friends, physically and mentally.  The young
man smiled to himself.

A voice came out of the dark startling him.

"Patrick?" asked the voice.

The young man stopped and turned towards the voice.  He could see the shape
of a larger person being backlit by one of the street lights nearby.  He
couldn't see any definite clothing or even the face of the person and he
didn't recognize the voice either.

"Nope, sorry.  You must have the wrong person," replied Patrick as he
turned to walk away quickly.

"Patrick, I would recognize you anywhere even though I haven't been able to
speak directly to you for years," said the man.

The young man stopped, and turned to face the person.  "You know me?"

"Yes Patrick.  I've known you since you were little and watched you play
volleyball and soccer for years.  I was in the audience when you were young
and you were in the plays every Christmas at school. I watched as many of
your volleyball and soccer games as I could when I wasn't out of town
working.  I've never been far away."  The man hesitated before continuing.
"But I never had the courage to speak to you until tonight, Patrick."

Patrick stepped backward.  "What do you mean?  Who are you?"

The man stepped into the light so Patrick could see him.  He was
approximately 45 years old, 6'3", possibly 230 lbs, long brown curly hair,
very defined features, a light olive skin tone, a trimmed goatee beard, and
black eyes.  The eyes on this man were not only black, they seemed to draw
light into them.  He had broad shoulders, and shirt he had on was tight on
his obviously muscular chest.  The man was wearing low cut jeans which were
also very tight on his body accentuating his large bulge.  The man was
handsome, or even better described as hot.

Patrick looked him up and down.  "I don't know you and I've never seen you
before, leave me alone."

The man smiled showing his perfect white teeth in his smile, "Son, I came
home."

Patrick froze in position, his face becoming blank at the shock in what the
stranger had said to him.

"My father is dead to me."

"Patrick, I had promised your mother I would not interfere with you growing
up when she threw me out of the apartment.  You are a man now and the
promise I made to stay out of your life while you were growing up ended on
your 18th birthday.  I wanted to meet my son."

The young man stood and stared at the man.  The blank face Patrick had
previously displayed was now replaced by rage.  He had never felt the level
of rage which he was feeling at that moment. It had started as a sharp pain
in the middle of his chest as if a burning cigarette was being crushed
against his skin.  The single point of focused pain intensified until it
was just short of being intolerable, and then spread through his body
firing every nerve with pain as it spread. In the split second the pain had
fired every nerve in his body, his emotions had boiled up deep within him
and replaced the physical pain with that of emotional.  Patrick was stunned
as a wave of disappointment, anger, fear, disgrace, insecurity and hatred
all boiled up from within him and was focused upon the man who had
identified himself as his father. He could not focus on one thought or even
sort out what was going through his mind, he was all over the board.
Suddenly, because of his being overwhelmed, he was scared because he was
here facing this man alone.  The one thought he did focus on for a moment
was, "Help me - Tyler, Troy."

The man could feel the heat of Patrick's emotional response building in
response to his words as if he were holding his hands over a fire.  He
could sense the fear, loneliness, longing for acceptance, the pain of
betrayal, and the vulnerability of the young one in front of him.  He was
also gaining strength from the anger, hatred and fear which was being
projected from the target.  It felt so good to him as it radiated from the
young man and he absorbed the strength from it.

"She didn't throw you out, you fucking abandoned us like a bag of trash,"
spat Patrick.  His words were said in such a way there would be no
misinterpreting the venom they were covered in.

"Your mother needed to tell you that to cover up her own mistakes," he
replied calmly.  "Your mother or my ex-wife didn't want me around anymore
because she had lost a baby in miscarriage and blamed me.  She blamed me
for all the drugs she was doing and it was the drugs who killed your
brother."

Patrick was fuming, "Bullshit.  She doesn't do drugs and never has."  He
then stopped for a moment, "Miscarriage? Brother?"

"I should've known she'd never tell you about your brother, Patrick.  He
was born a year after you and he died 7 months later in his crib.  I was
away working on the pipeline as a welder and when I came home she was all
drugged up and passed out on the floor.  I finally got it out of her that
your brother died and the baby she was carrying had miscarried."

Patrick was shaking his head back in forth sending the message 'no.'  "This
doesn't make any sense, none of it.  I know it's not true."

"Your mother is ashamed of you being gay too, and she just needs some time
to figure out how to throw you out."

"I'm not gay... what the fuck are you talking about.  I've had girlfriends.
You show up here out of the blue and think you know me?!"

"You wouldn't have sex with the last one, but you would've if it was Troy
or Tyler who wanted to fuck you."

"Those two have been more like fathers to me than you ever could be, shut
your mouth."

The man was looking through Patrick, and then he smiled. "You want Adam,
you want Adam to fuck you."

"You have no clue what you are talking about."

He continued without even pausing, "Your mother is ashamed of you being gay
and she wants to sue your neighbor buddies for turning you that way.  She's
not stupid, Patrick, she has her sight set on some big money for lots of
cruises without you."

Patrick screamed, "Nooooooo!"

The man began to look worried, but that was soon controlled as he began to
show his confidence again.  He thought to himself, "It hasn't happened yet,
but soon.  He needs to..."  The last thought was cut off by a new voice.
He looked to his left and a porcupine was sitting up on his back feet
staring at him.  For the first time the man began to think he may lose this
one and he should get out of here quickly.

"Patrick," started the porcupine.  "I am Kâkwa, the porcupine spirit
guide sent to watch over you, my human, or as we may now call you... Tadika
or fast runner."

Patrick was shaking his head 'no' but stopped and looked directly at the
animal sitting up not far from him.  His mind was flooding with images and
thoughts, but they weren't his.  This didn't make sense to Patrick in any
way and out of reflex he grabbed his head with both hands and squatted on
the ground.

"Ignore that thing, Patrick, it will lead you astray, it's evil," said the
man who claimed to be his father.  "Patrick, I've known since you were born
that you would be a special man.  Your mother tried to stop it; she didn't
want it to happen, Patrick.  She wanted you for herself instead of taking
your place in the realm to give orders."

Kâkwa continued to stand near Patrick in a very non-threatening way.
"Tadika, you are waking up inside and I am here to guide you through the
transition.  There is another here as well."

The man began to look around nervously.  "Patrick, we need to go to safety
before too many of these evil spirits gather to influence you.  They are
not what they seem and are evil."

The man moved closer as he spoke.  "Patrick, your mother hates you just
like she hated your brother and the unborn child.  If she could, she would
kill you like she did the other two so she would be free of
responsibility. She is ashamed of you not being a man but just a faggot."

Patrick looked up at the man, and he saw him in a different way now.  The
man's eyes were still the blackest he had ever seen but unlike before, he
now knew what it meant.  Behind Patrick the sound of two wolves growling
very aggressively were heard.  There was also another sound which sounded
like a huge housecat growling and hissing as well.  Patrick stood and
looked to the sounds and saw two wolves who he immediately knew were Tyler
and Troy.  Between the two wolves was a huge Lynx or Bobcat with its
muscles tense, ears flat and eyes fixed on the man who said he was
Patrick's father.

"I will leave for the time being, Patrick, but I'll find you later so we
can talk privately," said the man.

"I don't think so," said Adam.  The man turned quickly and looked straight
at Adam, Jared and Liam who were now stranding a few feet behind him.

"We were just talking..." started the man.

Adam raised his hands, palms out and fired off three white orbs which hit
the man in the chest.  Three more hit the man after Liam had fired followed
by three from Jared.  The man screamed an unearthly scream as he fell to
the ground in a fetal position.

Grandfather walked into the light now dressed in his finest Medicine Man
furs and skins.  He walked up to the man on the ground and looked down at
him.  Mathew's eyes flashed white, and the man was no longer human but now
appeared as a skinny black, leathery, gremlin with wings.

"Patrick, this is the true form of what was pretending to be your father,"
said Grandfather.

The thing on the ground moved to look at Patrick and said, "Son, I love
you.  They are warping your mind to make me look like this.  Don't believe
them."

Patrick looked at the thing on the ground and stared at it.  As he was
looking at every detail he began to understand what it was thinking.  The
young man had no clue his own eyes had turned bright white and he could see
the lies this thing was saying.  He could now sense the truth of everyone
else as well.  Patrick could feel the emotions, lies, truth, and even the
strong thoughts of the others standing near him.  Once again, he was being
overwhelmed but this time was different.  He still felt safe.

"You were never my father, nor have you ever told the truth," said Patrick
in deep thought. Darren and Josh took up positions behind Patrick.  Tyler
and Troy moved between the thing on the ground and their little brother.

Liam moved forward holding a poplar sapling which had been freshly cut
nearby.  He moved forward and as he speared the evil one on the ground, he
said in Gaelic, "Creator, be between us and harm, and protect us from the
harm of the world."

The thing on the ground screamed and the ground under their feet shook as
the wooden spear pierced its body.  The shape dissolved into black smoke,
which rapidly dissipated into oblivion.

Tyler, Troy grasped Patrick into their arms for a tight hug, and Adam
joined them.  The young man wept tears of joy and relief as at the moment
he felt safe in their grasp.  Darren and Josh remained vigilant and were
visually searching the woods and sniffing for other scents.

Grandfather turned to Jared and said, "I will walk Patrick, or my grandson
known as Tadika, home.  It will give us a chance to speak.  I would also
like to speak with his mother about him needing to be at the sweat ceremony
tomorrow. Jared, I need Tyler and Troy to pick him up in the morning and
bring him out to the ceremony site."

"As you ask Grandfather, it shall be done," replied Jared.

Tyler and Troy both glanced over their shoulders at Mathew and said, "As
you ask Grandfather."

Grandfather spoke again, "Kâkwa, Misiminôs... search and protect."
The porcupine and lynx disappeared quietly into the dark.

"Adam, will you join me in walking Patrick home?"

"Yes Grandfather, I would be happy to join you."

"Patrick, you will see all your brothers tomorrow but we need to get you
home."

"I would like to stay with Tyler and Troy," said the young man nervously.

"Patrick, you will see them in the morning, until then you have Adam and I
with you."  Grandfather turned to the other members of the tribe and simply
said, "Goodnight, my children," as they all disappeared.

Patrick stood there with his mouth open as Adam put an arm around his waist
and Grandfather put a hand on his shoulder.  "You are about to learn a lot
this weekend Patrick.  Starting with we have the ability to physically be
in one place, enter into a trance, and metaphysically be in another place.
It is one of the powers or gifts given to a type of person we call a
traveller."

The three men walked home slowly with Patrick asking many questions of both
Adam and Mathew.  When they got to Patrick's home, his mother was still up
and watching the late news.  Adam and Mathew introduced themselves and
talked over a cup of tea with his mother.  Patrick's mother was not
surprised, and as a sensitive, she knew he had something within him which
had not awakened yet.  Patrick was tired, and was having trouble trying to
stay awake.  Adam and Grandfather smudged the apartment, and afterwards
Mathew blessed it with the protection of the bear.  Adam and Grandfather
left the apartment, and when in the hallway disappeared.

The rest of the men woke up from their trance, and looked around the
teepee.  They immediately saw movement under the blankets where Mark,
Conner and Adam were sleeping.  They all smiled and headed off to their
sleeping areas.  It was then they realized they had only been gone from
this level of existence for 10 minutes.  They all stripped off, crawled
under the blankets and furs in couples and cuddled.

*****************************************

Mark and Conner shared their blankets with Adam and the three of them
cuddled together in their underwear.  The three young men were trying hard
to hide their erections from each other by shifting positions, hopefully
subtly.  Mark was in the centre of the three, when he felt two sets of
hands massaging his groin area, focusing on his cock and balls.  He used
his hands to grasp Adam and Conner in return.  All three had a hard cock in
their hand, and were gently sliding their hands up and down the shaft.
Each of the young men could feel the hand of their friend sliding up and
onto their cockhead, squeezing tighter and then sliding back down.  All
three had pulled their heads under the furs to muffle their moans of
excitement.

Darren laid on his side and reached out to Josh, pulling him in tight and
spooning behind him.  He leaned forward and kissed the back of his
boyfriend's neck gently, also using his tongue to gently lick towards and
nibble at the ears.

"Good night Josh.  I love it when we fall asleep like this together," he
whispered.

"It's almost perfect, Darren."  Josh wiggled his naked ass so Darren's cock
was lying along the crack.  "Now it's perfect."

Darren kissed him again, and reached around to gently cup Josh's cock and
balls.  He gently ground his hardening cock into the crack of Josh's ass.
He could feel Josh's cock beginning to get more solid in his grip as he
manipulated it, playing with the skin and sensitive underside of the shaft.

"Mmm," Josh purred as he ground his ass backwards.

Jesse and Zane were holding hands and staring into the blackness where they
knew the others eyes would be.  Zane released one of his hands, and reached
down and into Jesse's briefs to play with his semi-erect cock.  He knew
Jesse couldn't resist when he slid the foreskin back and forth over the big
head of his dick. Zane also leaned forward and licked, and manipulated
Jesse's nipple with his tongue.  He could feel Jesse responding quickly,
and even wiggling a bit as he continued doing it.  Zane could sense Jesse
moving closer until he felt the warm moist lips of his boyfriend pressing
against his.  The hairs of Jesse's chest were ticking his nipples, and send
sensual shocks through his body.  Zane reached up and continued to play
with Jesse's nipples while he blew across his boyfriends ear.  Jesse purred
and ground his quickly engorging member into Zane's.  Zane took both of the
hard cocks into his hand and while holding them together, began to jack
them at the same time.

"Sounds like someone other than us has the same idea," whispered Tyler to
Troy.

"I would recognize Jesse's whimper anywhere," he whispered back.

Tyler was already lodged inside Troy's tight asshole and gently thrusting
in and out while nibbling on his neck.  Troy felt the heat of his
boyfriend's chest in contact with his back and it gave him a feeling of
love and serenity.  The hard 6.5" of hard cock sliding in and out him was
sending wave after wave of electricity through his body.  They freely gave
each other the bottom position depending upon who wanted it and were very
versatile.  Both positions were assumed freely, and with equal love.  Troy
was jacking himself slowly while his boyfriend continued thrust in and out.

Liam had Jared pinned underneath of him, grinding his pelvis into his
boyfriends, alternating between kissing and gently chewing on his ears.

"You are not even being subtle tonight," said Jared.

Adam had slid down under the furs where he was able to alternately suck on
Mark's dick, and then Conner's.  Conner always squirmed and squeaked while
he was receiving a blow job.  It was still relatively new to him and the
sensations he felt still overwhelmed him.  The young man squirmed in
response every time Adam sucked on the big head of the 7.5" hard muscle.
Conner had no clue he was well endowed with a big, thick cock.  He hadn't
had a lot of experience until he met Mark and Adam.  The young man still
didn't have a lot of experience, but he did enjoy giving and receiving oral
sex. Mark always cuddled with Conner, before and after they both had cum,
never pressuring him into anything more than what he wanted to do.  Conner
loved Mark, but he also loved Adam in a special way too.  It was the same
for all three of the young men.  Mark and Conner were basically boyfriends,
but Adam was a special friend; he was the only special friend the two of
them had.  Conner moaned loudly and his body went rigid as he came in
Adam's mouth.  When Conner came, it was a mouthful of sweet tasting nectar
which pumped and pumped into Adam's mouth.  Adam could barely keep up
swallowing his special friend's load.  When Mark had heard Conner start to
cum, he had locked his lips onto his boyfriends and began kissing him;
their tongues dancing together.

Mark and Conner finished their kissing, and Conner slid under the covers to
suck on Mark's and Adam's cocks, something he was becoming very good at.

Darren was leaking precum like a fire hydrant which lubricated the crack of
Josh's ass and made it easy to slide his cock up and down the entire
length. He also liked it a lot when his cock was sliding between the two
muscular globes of Josh's ass.  The amount of precum also made it easy when
Darren penetrated Josh, and went deep with his thrust just like Josh liked.
Darren could feel his boyfriend's ring muscle quivering as he broke through
and slid deep.  Josh had felt his boyfriend's hard cock enter into his ass,
and pushed back to make it easier for Darren to get in deeper.

The precum from Jesse and Zane combined to make Zane's hand slippery as it
travelled up and down the shafts.  Jesse was almost melting into the furs
as Zane moved enough to create friction on both of his nipples.  Zane was
blowing across Jesse's ear, and even giving it a nibble now and then.
These things really did excite Jesse to the point where Zane wanted to find
out some time if his boyfriend would come just from playing with his ears
and nipples.

Mark was shooting his load into Conner's mouth while he listened to the
groans and short breaths being taken by his friends around him.  It was so
hot to hear the others fucking at the same time he was getting a blow job
from Conner's warm and very soft mouth.  When he finished shooting his
load, he crawled under lower to help Conner work on Adams cock.  Mark
didn't mind sucking on Adam's or Conner's cocks, and the only think he
liked more than feeling the load being shot into his mouth was the sweet
yet salty taste of both their loads.

Mark was sucking on Adam's hairless balls while Conner was sucking and
jerking the big cock.  Adam's eyes were rolled back into his head as he
came in Conner's mouth.  Part way through the delivery, Conner gave control
to Mark and he finished drinking the nectar he was shooting.

Zane was blowing on Jesse's ear while he fisted the two cocks together.
Jesse was making his usual audible whimpers of ecstasy as Zane chewed at
his ear lobe, and the other hand pulled at his nipple.  His boyfriend
absolutely melted into a quivering mass of sensation as he came in Zane's
hand.  Zane followed right after and cum when he could feel the
contractions of Jesse's cock against his own, and the warmth of his essence
being used as lubricant in their shafts.  The two of them lay for a moment,
and Zane wiped his hand and their cocks on a pair of their underwear.

The two of them grasped each other's hands, stared into the other's eyes
and gently kissed.

"I love you, Zane."

"I love you more infinity, Jesse."

It also didn't take long for Darren to fill his boyfriend with his seed.
Darren had also reached around and finished Josh off after he had regained
control.  He wrapped his big arms around his boyfriend, pulled him tight
into his body, kissed his neck and told him he loved his little Joshie.
They fell asleep with Darren's cock slowly softening, but still buried in
Josh's tight ass.

Jared had flipped onto his stomach, and spread his legs inviting Liam to
mount him.  With a sense of urgency, Liam did that and it didn't take very
long for him to cum in Jared's ass.  Jared also had a sense of urgency and
need and he had cum as Liam pounded him into the furs they were laying on.
Liam spooned behind Jared, held him tight and the two of them fell asleep.

The last thing Conner thought before he fell asleep was how his life had
changed for the better in only a few months.

Frank was thinking the exact same thing as he fell off to sleep in the very
comfortable bed in the cabin.
