The Last Resort
Chapter 9

	"Beep, beep, beep," went the alarm on Billy's watch, but Billy
didn't so much as in stir. He was oblivious to what was happening in the
conscious world. "Beep, beep, beep," continued the watch. Billy just laid
there, with a little bit of drool running out of the corner of his
mouth. The beeping stopped.
	Billy found himself walking down a dark corridor. His stomach
muscles were tightening and his palms were beginning to sweat. He heard a
slapping noise coming from behind an old wooden door. After each slap,
there was a high pitch cry. One that only a child could deliver.
	He came to the door and cracked it open just a hair, leaving a gap
in it, big enough so he could see what was happening. On the other side of
the room were two boys. They were both naked. Their bare backs were facing
Billy. They were slouched a bit, but the rope that tied their hands
together above their heads, kept them perched upright. Billy couldn't tell
if these boys were the same ones from his previous dreams or if they were
the boys in the mirror. Or was it the boy in the lake? A dark, silhouette
figure stepped between the boys and Billy. He raised his hand and swung
down. Billy jumped as he heard the lashing of the wet raw hide come down on
the boy's naked buttocks. The figure's hand rose again and came back down
sharply. Billy began crying. He was crying for the boys. He wanted to go in
there and help the boys, but he was too scared too. What should he do? The
figure then stepped out of Billy's view. The boys were no longer trying to
stand on their own. The only thing keeping them from collapsing on the
ground was the ropes holding them up. Their backs and buttocks were raw and
bleeding. The boy on the left turned his head and looked helplessly at
Billy. Billy stood straight up in his bed, wide awake. He looked at his
watch and it was 2:37. He quickly looked over at Andrew's bed and he was
crying in his sleep. Then he quickly woke up with a jerk.
	"Andrew?"
	"You didn't wake me, why?" said Andrew in a mad tone.
	"I never heard my alarm. What did you dream?"
	"I dreamt that I was watching these two boys hanging from ropes
getting whipped by a shadow. After the shadow was done, one of the boys
twisted a bit and I saw his face."
	"Whose face was it?" asked Billy anxiously.
	"It was mine," said Andrew very quietly like trying to not to hear
it himself.
	"I had the same dream."
	"You saw me then?"
	"No, I saw my face," said Billy.
	Andrew got up and started feeling his back and buttocks. He was
looking for sores like he received the other night. His skin was smooth and
unwounded. The wounds that he got the other night miraculously were pretty
much healed by now. He didn't know how they could heal so quickly, but they
did.
	"What are you doing?" asked Billy.
	"Last time I dreamt that I was getting whipped, I had cuts to prove
it. But this time I don't."
	Billy quickly checked himself and he too was free of wounds.
	"Andrew, did you recognize where you were in your dream?"
	"No, you?"
	"I think we were in those underground tunnels," said Billy.
	"I know what you are thinking. I am NOT going back down there. No
way, no how."
	"Will you guys be quiet, I am trying to sleep here," moaned Jason
as he rolled over to his other side and threw his pillow over his head.
	"We'll discuss this in the morning. Now let's see if we can get
back to sleep," said Billy.
	Both boys laid in their cots wide awake. Neither of them could fall
back to sleep. They stirred and wrestled, but the Sandman wouldn't
come. Finally at 6:00 Billy got fed up lying there, so he got up and went
to go relieve himself. Andrew rolled over, trying to pretend he was
asleep. With everyone still in the house asleep, he didn't want Billy to
suggest that they go back to those tunnels, like they did the other day.
	Andrew decided to get up himself. He threw on some clothes and went
downstairs. Billy wasn't there. However the five grown ups were sitting
around the table, drinking coffee and eating toast.
	"Morning son," said Dan.
	"Morning," replied Andrew.
	"Andrew, can I get you something to eat?" asked Louise.
	"No thank you."
	"I talked to your mother today. She is flying in this
afternoon. Janie and Louise will pick her up, while I am at the hospital
with Trevor. You want to go with them or with me?"
	"After they pick up mom are they going to the hospital?"
	"Probably. Your mother was quite upset and worried. She's gonna
want to see her baby boy."
	"Can I stay here?"
	"I suppose you can, but you don't want to go see your brother?"
	"I saw him last night." Andrew then silently walked back upstairs.
	"Relax Dan. He's just doesn't like seeing his brother all bandaged
up like that. He'll be alright here with Brad and me," assured Bob.
	Dan looked at his watch. "You about ready Bob?"
	"Yeah," he quickly swallowed his last gulp of coffee and the two
men headed outside.
	"Brad, as soon as I drop Dan off at the hospital I will be back."
	"Can you stop at the hardware store in town and pick me up some
more roofing nails. I don't think I got enough."
	"Sure thing," said Bob as he followed Dan outside.
	Andrew went into his room. He noticed Jason's cot was empty. He
flopped on his cot and left out a yawn. He could feel sleep starting to
over take him. Then Jason came in making all sorts of racket.
	"Morning Andrew,"
	"You yelled at us last night for being loud and look at you this
morning,"
	"I yelled at you? Don't remember." Jason was just wearing his white
briefs. He pulled out a set of clean clothes from his suitcase. He shed his
briefs off and they joined his bare feet on the cold wooden floor.
	Andrew popped his head up a bit to see the white shiny smooth ass
that Jason had. Andrew caught himself rubbing his lips with his tongue.
Andrew wished Jason would turn around, so he could see his dick. Andrew
noticed that Jason was scratching himself.
	"Andrew!!" yelled Billy as he stormed in the room. Jason jumped and
quickly turning around, revealing his soft dick.
	"Damn it Billy, you scared the shit out of me," yelled Jason as he
quickly put on a pair of clean underwear.
	"Andrew, are you awake?" said Billy ignoring Jason and going over
Andrew's cot.
	Andrew sat up. "What is it?"
	Billy was out of breath. "I went down to the tunnel."
	"Why you do something stupid like that for?"
	"What tunnel?"
	"You know what those tunnels are?"
	"Haunted," said Andrew.
	"What are you guys talking about?' said Jason as he finished
putting on his clothes.
	"The other day, Andrew and I found a trap door that lead to some
tunnels under the Inn."
	"Why didn't' you guys tell me?"
	"Because strange things happen down there and you wouldn't have
believed us if wet told you," said Andrew.
	"Let's now argue. I got thinking this morning while sitting on the
pot. This Inn was part of the underground railroad."
	"Yeah, what of it?" asked Jason.
	"Don't you find it a little bit odd that they used this Inn as a
confederate hospital too?"
	"I never gave it a thought. But yeah, why would the slaves chance
being seen by the confederates?" asked Jason.
	"Think about it. The runaway slaves had the perfect hiding
spot. Right under the rebs noses. Those tunnels were their way in and out
of the inn. Some of the tunnels branches off and form little rooms. One
even had a broken down table and chairs in it."
	"Did you find or hear anything else?" asked Andrew a little
nervously.
	"No ghosts or screams if that what you mean."
	"Does the tunnels lead outside?" asked Jason.
	"I think at one time they did, but some of them caved in. But there
is lots more to explore down there. It is bigger then we thought."
	"I'm not going back down there. No way," insisted Andrew.
	"Relax, you don't have to if you don't want too," assured Billy.
	"Billy!! Jason!!! Andrew!!!" yelled Brad from the bottom of the
staircase.
	"Coming!!" replied the boys. They exited their rooms and went to
see what Brad wanted.
	"The kids should be here in about 20 minutes. I am really going to
need your help today, because Bob will be gone most of the morning, Janie,
Louise and Dan will be gone most of the day. So if you guys can help me out
with the local kids, I would appreciate it."
	"Sure thing Dad," said Billy.
	Right on cue, the bus pulled up. Deputy Wilson and Deputy Kane
escorted the kids off the bus and put them in the rows. Brad said a few
word to them. He then took the 20 kids with him up to the attic where they
would pick up where they left off yesterday with the roof. Deputy Kane,
Boomer, Cody, Ozone and Dizzy stayed behind.
	"Alright you four. You only have three rooms to clean out
today. You boys been doing a good job. But since the truck isn't here this
morning, Mr. McDowell has a new tasking for you.
	"What's that Deputy Kane?" asked Ozone.
	"You see those stone chimneys?"
	"Yeah," replied the boys.
	"They're crumbling and need replacing. Masonry is coming in next
week to fix them. What Mr. McDowell needs you to is hike over there with
some wheel barrows and collect big stones for the chimneys."
	All the boys moaned. They didn't like the idea of this hard
labor. Especially since the day was turning into a very hot and humid day.
	"Where are we suppose to get these rocks?" asked Boomer,
	Deputy Kane pointed to the opposite side of where the trails lead
to the lake. The Inn had the lake on one side and a field on the other. Of
course a forest forms a small wall between the lake and Inn and the field
and Inn.
	"Just where the woods and field meet, there is a stone
wall. Mr. McDowell says the stones are just laying there for the taking. So
start humping them."
	"You want us to screw stones?" asked Dizzy sincerely.
	"No Mr. Edwards. I want you to bring the stones here and make a
pile."
	"But you said you wanted us to hump them."
	"That's an old navy term. Humping something mean to lug something
or haul is another good word that means the same."
	"Oh I get it," said Dizzy with a goofy laugh. "You want us to haul
those stones,"
	"That's right. Now get too work."
	"Come on guys, let's go screw some stones," joked Boomer.
	Each boy grabbed a wheel barrow. Jason, Andrew and Billy stepped on
the porch to see the four boys walk by.
	"What they got you doing?" asked Billy.
	"Fucking rocks" said Boomer with a smile as he thrust his hips in
between the wheel barrow handles.
	"Huh?" the boys on the porch said puzzled.
	"We have to go get rocks for the chimneys," said Ozone as he
laughed at Boomer.
	"You want to help?" asked Dizzy.
	"I guess," said Billy as he joined the four at the wheel
barrows. "Coming Andrew?"
	"Sure," Andrew joined them.
	"What about you Jason?" asked Ozone.
	"Nah, you go fuck the rocks all you want. I want to go see if I can
go fuck Mindy Parker."
	Boomer laughed. "Good luck, but you're wasting your time,"
	Deputy Kane came around the corner. "Stop lally gagging around.
Get going," he ordered.
	Ozone, Boomer, Billy, Dizzy, Andrew and Cody spent the morning in
the hot blazing sun, collecting rocks and bringing them back to the
in. Sweat was just pouring down the boy's backs and neck. All the boys
chatted among themselves, telling each other about their schools, talking
about sports, and typical boy chatter. All, but Cody. He just kept to
himself and worked alone, doing his best not to fall behind. As he worked
though, he wrote a story with his imagination in his mind. This particular
story was about an old sea captain during the Napoleon wars with an all boy
crew. He imagined himself as the executive officer, a roll he knew he could
never play in real life.
	By the time lunch time rolled around, all the boys except for Cody
had taken their shirts off. There bare chests were covered with dirt and
sweat. Each boy tried looking at the other boys' chest, without anyone
noticing.
	Cody grabbed his bag lunch that he left on the bus. He went over to
the pile of rocks and sat down and began eating. Ozone, Boomer and Dizzy
took their lunches and went to the shaded area on the front porch. Andrew
and Billy emerged from inside with their lunches.
	"I tell you, it has a mind of its own," said Boomer.
	"What does?" asked Dizzy.
	"Teddy does."
	"Who's Teddy?"
	"Look down and you will see," said Boomer as his eyes turned
towards the tent in his pants.
	"You got a boner?" exclaimed Ozone.
	"It does that sometimes. I'd be thinking of nothing and all of
sudden, boom, it gets hard. One time it happened, I was standing in front
of the class, giving and oral book report. Boy that was embarrassing."
	"Wait a minute," said Ozone with a mouth full and putting his hand
up in the stop motion. "You named your dick, Teddy?"
	"Yeah, so? Doesn't everyone name their dick?" defended Boomer.
	"No, you're the only one,"
	Dizzy turned his head to Ozone. "That ain't true. You call my dick
Max."
	Ozone shot Dizzy a warning glance. He couldn't believe Dizzy let
out their secret like that. He hoped no one noticed. But he didn't hope
strong enough.
	"Now you wait a minute," said Boomer with a big smile. "You called
Dizzy's dick Max? What are you a cocksucker?"
	For the first time since the conversation started, he was
speechless. He turned his eyes to the floor. He wanted to deny it, but he
couldn't.
	"Look, we're all friends. Let's not embarrass anyone who come to
conclusions," chimed in Billy. He didn't want anyone hurt or fighting, but
he was curious himself.
	"Alright, Billy, but I have one question for Dizzy and Ozone. Did
you guys suck each others cock?"
	"And what if we did," said Ozone getting some courage rounded up
and trying to act cool and confident.
	"Then I want in on peace of the action," flat out sad Boomer.
	Andrew was about ready to take a drink when Boomer made that
statement. He spit out his ice tea all over Dizzy.
	"Watch it, man."
	"Sorry," said Andrew.
	"What are you saying?" asked Ozone looking at Boomer.
	"The cat is out of the bag now. So I will just come out and say
it. I would like to do some sexual stuff with you and Dizzy."
	Ozone quickly looked at Andrew and Billy. He wasn't sure what they
must be thinking or what they would say to the adults.
	"Don't worry; you don't have to fear us. We won't say anything,"
assured Billy.
	"And how can we trust you or know you are telling the truth?"
	Billy thought for a second and then turned to Andrew. They smiled
at each other. They did a quick look to make sure no one, other then
Boomer, Ozone and Dizzy were looking, and then they gave each other a
passionate deep kiss. Dizzy, Ozone and Boomer just sat there with their
mouths wide open. This time all three of them had tents in their pants.
	After they broke the kiss, Billy said "Andrew and I did some things
together too. We understand."
	"Cool," said Boomer. "Maybe the five of us can get together and
have an orgy or something,"
	"That would be fucken awesome," said Ozone.
	The boys quickly changed the subject as the kids who were working
on the room, slowly filtered down from the roof and onto the porch to go
get their lunches.
	After lunch, the boys continued to bust their asses, hauling rocks
from the stone wall to the inn. Their muscles were beginning to speak to
them. The hot heat was draining them of their energy. They were drinking
plenty of water, but they were still exhausted. The sweat had made their
pants and underwear drenched.  Cody finished filling his wheel barrel up
just as the other boys returned. He headed off back to the end by himself.
	"Hey Cody, Deputy Kane said that can be your last load. You don't
have to return," said Billy.
	Cody nodded and disappeared down the trail.
	"Alright guys, I think we need to make pack not to tell anyone what
we discussed today at lunch," Boomer.
	"Relax Boomer. We won't say a thing," said Ozone.
	"I want to make sure of it."
	"And what do you have in mind?" asked Andrew.
	"We all get naked and lay on the ground in a circle. We then
connect the circle with our mouths and dicks,"
	"You want to do a 69?" asked Dizzy.
	"Well yeah sort of. But instead of two of us, there will be five of
us joined. So what do you say?"
	"What happens if someone comes?" asked Andrew.
	"I am planning on all five of us cumming," said Boomer with a
devilish grin.
	"That's not what I met,"
	"I know, but no one came out here all day and you know Cody won't
come back. So are you guys in?"
	"Who's doing who?" asked Billy.
	"If it is alright with you, I would love to suck Dizzy's cock and
have you, Billy suck mine."
	"Can I suck you Billy?" asked Ozone.
	"Sure, I guess."
	"So that leaves Andrew sucking off Ozone and Dizzy returning the
favor to Andrew."
	All the boys had knots in their stomachs. They wanted to do this,
but were scared as well. But that is what made it exciting. Each boy
dropped their shorts and pants off, as well as their underwear, revealing
their already hard cocks.
	The boys laid on the ground next to the boy they would be giving
head to, or be getting head from. Boomer looked at Dizzy and then without
further ado, he gently grabbed onto Dizzy's 4 « inch dick and took it
into his mouth. Dizzy left out a groan. Dizzy closed his eyes and took
Andrew in his mouth. By this time, Ozone had already been sucking on Billy
and Billy's mouth Covered Boomer's hard 5 ¬ inch tool. Some slurping
noises were heard, and someone would stop occasionally to tell the person
sucking them to watch out for their teeth.
	Boomer ran his tongue through the slit on Dizzy's cock head. He
could taste the precum. As he slowly began to bob his head up and down, his
eyes popped out of his head. Billy was not only sucking his dick, but
gently slid a finger up his ass. He almost blew is load right there and
then.
	Andrew only had Ozone's balls in his mouth. He was swishing them
around and then licking them once they popped out. He ran his tongue up
Ozone's hard, pulsating cock, and plowed up some of the precum off the tip
of Ozone's cock. He eyed over at Billy and saw that Billy had a finger in
Boomer. So Andrew decided to do the same. He took the precum on the tip of
his tongue and coated his finger with it. He then pulled Ozone's white ass
cheeks apart and slid his finger up it. Ozone immediately tighten up his
ass. He wasn't expecting this peasant surprise. He then scooted down a
little, to get more of the finger up his ass.
	Ozone decided to follow suit. He let Billy's dick fall out of his
mouth. He twisted a bit, causing his own dick to fall out of Andrew's
mouth. But Andrew quickly recovered it. He spread Billy's ass cheeks and
started licking the precious rosebud. He stuck his tongue inside and
started to tongue fuck Billy in the ass. He then moistened the hole with
his saliva and covered his finger in it as well. He slid it up Billy's
tight, virgin ass. He moved it around inside, stretching it out a
little. He left his finger in and took Billy's dripping dick back into his
mouth.
	Dizzy could feel his balls tighten. The indescribable feeling
started to run through his balls and cock. He began to moan as he pumped
Andrew's dick with his mouth harder and harder. The more intense the
feeling became, the harder Dizzy sucked and the louder he moaned. Dizzy
started to thrust and buck his hips a little to match Boomer's head
movements. He knew it wasn't going to be long. Then that electric sensation
swept through his body and he could feel his cock swell and explode into
Boomer's mouth. Boomer was caught off guard and cough, but he kept sucking
and swallowing the tasty treasure. But tasting Dizzy's cum, sent Boomer
over the edge. He rammed his dick deep into Billy's mouth and released his
swimmers into the darken oral cavity. And the Domino effect
continued. Billy's body trembled and shook as Ozone began sucking the
escaping boy seed out of Billy's swollen, red cock. Ozone smiled to himself
as he tasted the wonderful taste of a boy. Then his cock erupted into
Andrew's mouth. Andrew made a slurping noise as he swallowed every last bit
of Ozone's cum. But before he could finish swallowing it, he released his
load into Dizzy's awaiting mouth. Dizzy continued to suck him, until Andrew
had to pull out, because the pleasure that was being given was too
unbearable to stand.
	The boys eventually let the softening dicks slip out of their
mouths. They stood up. Dizzy had some cum, dripping out of the corner of
his mouth. Ozone was swishing his prize in his mouth, tasting every bit of
it. The boys stood up one at a time, each with a glow. Even though a word
wasn't spoken, they knew this wouldn't be the last time.
	Off in the distance, the boys could hear off in the distance, Bob's
pick up truck drive down the long driveway. Bob was suppose to be back by
noon, but was delayed. The boys quickly got dressed and loaded up their
wheel barrels and headed back to the inn.
	"Bout time, what were you doing out there?" asked Deputy Kane.
	Boomer smiled. "Screwing rocks."
	Deputy Kane didn't' say a word. The boys dumped their loads on the
pile.
	"Get on the bus; everyone is waiting on you guys,"
	The boys said their goodbyes and climbed on the bus. Soon, a dust
trail formed where the bus was once parked.
	That night close to bed time, the boys sat in their cots reading
books and chatting among themselves. Andrew's Mom was in town, but she was
staying at a hotel close to the hospital. Dan had returned and told Bob
that he could do more electricians work, since his ex-wife would be with
Trevor. But he would go to the hospital each night to see his son.
	"I'm bushed, I am going to bed," said Andrew as he crawled under
his covers.
	"Me too. Lugging those rocks just tuckered me out," said Billy.
	"Should've worked on the roof with me. You wouldn't be so tired."
	"How did you make out with Mindy Parker?'
	"I didn't. But that is only strike one. I still have two more
pitches."
	"Good luck," said Billy. He then rolled over and closed his eyes.
	"Billy, did you set your watch?"
	"Yeah, don't worry, I will hear it tonight."
	"Why are you setting your watch?"
	"We don't want to be asleep during a certain time. Now good night."
Said Billy and soon he was sound asleep and Andrew shortly followed.
	Jason sat in his room. He looked at the sleeping boys. He turned
the battery operated lantern around, so he could get a better look at
them. He could feel his hormones racing through his body. That night he had
with Billy was great. He would much rather had sex with a girl, especially
Mindy, but since there was no one around right now, he would settle for
Billy.
	Jason pushed the sheet down, showing that his member's head was
popping out of his underwear to have a look see. Jason reached into his
underwear and began stroking it. He closed his eyes and imagined that Mindy
was stroking it for him. But then he heard something. He opened his eyes
and there was Billy watching him.
	"Horny, are we?" asked Billy.
	"I thought you were asleep." Jason's dick started to lose its
hardness.
	"I was, but then my bladder woke me up. I forgot to go pee."
	"After you pee, you wouldn't want to do something would you?"
	"Maybe," suggest Billy as he left the bedroom.
	Billy walked down the hall into the bathroom. He placed his
flashlight upright, so it would light the bathroom good enough to see. He
pulled out his dick and a golden stream came flowing out of it. Once he was
done, he looked into the mirror. He put his hand on it, feeling the little
chip that was missing from it.  As Billy was feeling the nick, a shadow
flickered across the wall. He looked up and saw it was only a moth flying
around the source of the light. When he turned back his attention to the
mirror, his image was replaced with an image of a decaying body of a young
boy. The boy reached out and grabbed Billy's wrist. Billy went to scream,
but something had taken his voice away from him.
	"Heed our warning," said the decaying boy. He then let go of
Billy's wrist and pulled back into the mirror. As the hand disappeared into
the mirror, it shattered once again, but this time into many fragmented
tiny pieces.
	Billy could hear voices and footsteps running up the stairs and
into the hall. The bathroom door flew open and there stood Bob holding a
flashlight. "Billy? You okay? What happened?" Bob noticed the shattered
mirror pieces.
	"I don't know. I just came in here to pee and it broke," said
Billy. He didn't want to tell them the full story.
	"Come here honey, let me make sure you're not cut," said Janie. She
looked over her son's body and saw no cuts. But something caught here
attention. "How did you get this?"
	Billy looked to see what she was referring too. There was a black
and blue mark forming on his wrist. The wrist that was grabbed by the
decaying boy.
	"I don't know. Maybe it happened when I dropped some rocks on it
today," lied Billy.
	"It doesn't look like to bruises caused by a rock falling on it. It
looks like someone had grabbed onto you really tight. Is there something
you're not telling me?" asked his concerned mother.
	"No mom, really. Now can I go back to bed? I am really tired?"
	His mom nodded. Billy pushed his way through the adults and saw
that Jason was there too. He had come out of the bedroom to see what all
the commotion was. Billy went back into his room and laid down. He left out
a yawn, but there was no way he could get back to sleep with the image
embedded in his mind.
	Jason came walking in. "You okay?"
	"Yeah, I'll be fine."
	"What happened?"
	"Mirror broke."
	"I know that, but how?"
	"Beats me, it just broke."
	"Mirrors don't just break."
	"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me anyway."
	"Let me guess, a ghost did it?" mocked Jason.
	"And if I told you it did?"
	"You're right, I wouldn't believe you. I suppose you're not up to
any action now?"
	"You suppose right. Good night Jason," said Billy as he rolled over
onto his side, putting his back towards Jason to shut him out.
	Jason took a deep breath. He reached into his underwear and began
stroking again. He quickly did it and soon, he had cum all over his smooth
belly. It was a quick jack off, but he had to release himself, other wise
he wouldn't be able to get to sleep. He took his sock and cleaned himself
up. Then he pulled the pillow over his head and went to sleep.
	Boomer sat at the computer looking at some boy sites. An instant
message popped up. It was from Ozone.
	"Boomer, you there?"
	"Yeah," typed in Boomer.
	"Can I ask you something?"
	"What?"
	"Today when we were sealing the pack, did you feel like we were
being watched?"
	"No, I was too into it. Why did you?"
	"I just had this eerie feeling that someone or something was
watching us. Dizzy said he noticed the feeling when he pulled up his
pants."
	"You two are just nuts. I g2g, mom's calling. See ya tomorrow."
	Boomer signed off and went to see what his mom wanted.
	Ozone turned off his monitor and walked out of his mom's
bedroom. Something wasn't sitting right with him. He felt like he was being
watched this afternoon. Was it Deputy Kane getting his jollies off of young
boys? Was it Cody? But the eerie thing was it didn't feel like someone was
watching them, but something. Connor finally dismissed the feeling and went
to bed.
	Andrew woke up suddenly. He heard something beating against the
window. His heart sunk. What was it? He turned on his flashlight and shined
it towards Jason and Billy. Both of them were sleeping. Then he realized
that the wind was howling and the tapping at the window was rain. He got up
and looked out the window. Sure enough, another storm had moved in while he
was sleeping. Lightning flickered, lighting up the outside as if it was
day, then it was replaced by darkness. Then the lightning flickered once
again. Andrew's eyes grew when he saw a reflection of a boy with blood
running down his face. He had tears in his eyes and horror as well. The
image disappeared when the lightning paused. Then seconds later, the
lightning flashed again. There was that image again. It began to reach out
for Andrew, but Andrew stepped backwards, tripping on a suitcase and
falling on the floor at the same time, something flew into the window,
causing it to shatter. Andrew screamed. Both Billy and Jason woke up. Billy
feared he didn't hear his alarm again. But it was only a little before two.
	Jason got up and saw the broken window. He poked his head outside
in the storm and looked down. He saw a black bird, having spasms on the
ground. "Bird flew in the window," said Jason.
	Billy helped Andrew up. He looked at Billy and without speaking a
word; Billy knew more then just a bird hitting the window.
	"I'll go get my dad. Maybe we can board it up or something" said
Jason as he disappeared into the hall.
	Andrew and Billy clung each other has a loud boom shook the
house. They crept to the broken window and peered out. During the lightning
flashes, they saw something. It looked like a person carrying a garbage bag
under each arm.
	The boys jumped as Bob and Jason returned. They looked out the
window again, but the person was gone. Bob told the boys to help each other
move their cots into the next room.
	After they were nestled into their new room Jason didn't take long
to fall asleep. Billy looked at his watch. "It's 2:35," whispered Billy to
Andrew.
	Andrew, who was sitting up in his bed, pulled his sheets up close
to him as if he was hiding behind it. Both boys jumped as another loud boom
echoed through the old manor.
	"Billy?"
	"Yeah?"
	"Can we move our cots together, so we can hold each other? I'm
scared."
	Billy stood up and pushed his cot next to Andrews. The two boys
cuddled up to each other and put their arms around each other to protect
one another. Billy looked at his watch and it was past 2:37. They missed
the dream time.
	The next morning, the sun was shining bright again. The storm had
passed over. Bob, Brad, Jason, Billy and Andrew went to the outside of the
boy's room. At the bottom of their window was a dead bird.
	"It's a raven," said Brad.
