Eliza is standing, leaning on the kitchen counter sipping coffee, waiting for the girls to come and fetch theirs. On seeing Callie and Cammie exit the bedroom like two naughty, over excited school girls giggling and hanging all over each other, she sniggers at them and says, “now, now girls, he’s just a man!” Rolling her eyes with a look of feigned, utter distain. Both woman burst with laughter before Callie heads over to Eliza. Eliza looking at her questioningly, “should I be worried?”.Callie sways into Eliza and nudges Eliza’s nose with her own, then drops a little kiss on her lips, “never in a million years!”.“I see the nose rubbing thing runs in the family”, Robin’s deep voice interrupting their chatter and making each of them jump just a little before turning to look in his direction.Robin is standing in the doorway of the bedroom, dressed now, in his classic style blue denim jeans, dark blue and black flannel shirt paired with his brown, silver buckle belt and brown boots.

Eliza and Callie head into the sheriffs office first to give their version of events. Eliza starts eagerly explaining how they had seen the three scumbags hiding in the forest outside of Robins farm when they were on their way down from Eliza’s cabin to Robin’s cabin in search of Cammie. “So how come they didn’t see you two girls coming, how did they not intersect you?” Sheriff asks bewildered. Eliza explains, “well, we caught sight of them when they were parking their truck, one of those three pine tree, black trucks. They were parking it up just a little ways down from Robin’s main gate. We saw them gather their guns out of the back of the truck. It was close but we managed to duck into the forest”.“We walked a ways through the forest and came to Robin’s cabin from the west. Climbed over the stile near the side of the cabin”. Eliza looks at Callie and gives her hand a little reassuring squeeze. “What happened next”, Sheriff urges Eliza to continue. “Once we were on Robin’s land
After Callie and Eliza were done with their interviews, the sheriff calls for Cammie and Robin to give their versions of account. Cammie first, tells the sheriff all that had happened that day. Starting with the hike and ending with the part where she and Callie barricaded themselves in the bathroom. Robin takes over from there. He tells of how the men came up to the cabin in their truck, claiming to be looking for their niece. Robin tells the sheriff how he instinctively knew they were going to come back to the cabin armed. Getting ready to fight for his and Cammie’s lives he prepared by showing Cammie how to use the hand gun and told her to stay put in the bedroom until it was all over. On exiting the cabin, Robin tells the sheriff, how he unexpectedly ran into Callie and Eliza. How he had been thrown into a weird panic or shock at first because in the dark, Callie looked just like Cammie, “my brain was confused at first because I wondered how the hell had Cammie got past me and
As I wake I feel cold and numb all over except for a painful, thunderclap headache, everything is dark apart from a few dim blurry lights coming from the trucks back lights. I don’t know if it’s my eyes or if it’s from the dark but I can’t seem to focus my eyes on anything. I go to rub my eyes to try and clear my vision and I realise my hands are tied. I know I’m in the back of a truck and it’s cold and windy. The truck is bouncing up and down as we drive along the uneven surface, it’s making me roll around uncontrollably and I keep knocking my head on the bottom of the truck bed. I can hear shouts and leery slurs coming from the cabs open windows. That’s when I feel something heavy slam into me, something else is thumping around in the back of the truck next to me.I strain my eyes in the pitch dark to try and make out what it is, it looks like a sack, but as my eyes adjust to the dark, attached to the sack looks like some kind of blond ruffled mop of fluff or hair. Then I see a gl
From the position I’m laying in on the back of the truck bed, I can just see over the open edge of the flap at the back of the truck. The locked box has been lifted up and out of the back of the truck. Thomas has unlocked it and flipped the lid open and now all three men are staring down into the open box. It takes a moment before Thomas pulls out a hunting rifle. I can’t help it, my eyes are as big as saucers and a panic takes hold of me. Frozen with unadulterated fear I stare at them. Trying in vain to desperately think of a way to get away from these monsters. At this point, apart from a waning moan from Callie all I can think of is, if I can untie my feet or if they untie my feet I will have to make a run for it even if it means leaving my dear sister behind. Maybe I could get help for her somewhere near by. I look around again trying desperately to see a light in the dark, any sign of a house or anything at all in the dense forest. For the briefest moment I think I see a
This will be the last hunt before the winter hits, I really need to find a good sized antelope for butchering, Robin thinks to himself. He’s been trekking for more then half the day and is starting to loose hope of finding anything to hunt. The storm is starting to form on the horizon and it’s going to be a long trek back to the cabin.As usual Robin finds his thoughts turn to Mindy and what could have been. Even after a whole year, he still finds it hard to let go, to not think about her, and to not think about the ultimate betrayal she and his brother had done against him. Trying to concentrate on the task at hand, Robin turns his thoughts back to the hunt. Besides he's made a promise to himself that he's going to try his best not to think about them anymore. Looking up at the sky, watching as the dark clouds roll in, assessing how much time he has before he needs to turn back in order to get back to the cabin before the storm hits. “I’ll give it another half-hour then turn b
Time is passing slowly for Robin, watching the clock seems to be making it go even slower. Constantly looking out the windo every ten minutes to see if the Sheriff has arrived yet. Still nothing, then back to Watching the clock again. Of course Robin is well aware that his cabin is at least an hour away from town and that is in peak weather conditions. With this heavy snow falling it could not only lengthen the trip by an extra hour or even an hour and a half, it could also potentially be dangerous and life threatening on some of the worse dirt roads coming up the mountain. Which the thought of, makes Robin even more tense. Feeling like if he had to look out the window one more time would drive him crazy, Robin decides to go check on the girl. For all he knows, she may be dead already. Opening the bedroom door, Robin notices his hand is shaking, nerves kicking in now. He definitely hopes to find her still breathing. He edges towards the bed, there is no movement at all from the girl
I’m tired, as the Sherif and I cook something for all of us to eat, I’m on auto pilot. I don’t think I’ll be able to eat even if the food somehow comes out edible. The Sheriff motions for me to take a seat at the table, “you’ve been through a lot today, take a seat and rest. I’ll do the cooking”. I watch as he moves around the kitchen, answering him with one word answers when he asks where the pans are or where the cups are. I feel like I can’t keep my eyes open and a heaviness takes over my body. I lay my head on my arms and close my eyes. *** I wake to quiet voices talking, “Doc, how is she? Did she make it?” I plead for information. Doc, “yes hun, I’ve done what I can for her but only time will tell if she makes it through. I have administered a pain jab that should last the night and I have her on a drip. She’s having intravenous antibiotics for any infection she might have. I am limited with the tools and medication I have here. We will have to get her to the hospital

Laying in each others arms, Robin is determined to stay here in this embrace for as long as he can. Cammie laying naked and beautiful with her head snuggled into the crook of his arm while he holds her to him with the other. Running his hand and gently stroking up and down the side of her soft, supple upper arm, from her shoulder to her elbow. Up and Down..enjoying how smooth and silky her skin feels under his touch.Burying his own face into Cammie’s hair so he can inhale all of her sweet, tantalising woman scent. This is definitely Robin’s happy place. Quite content on staying here not only for the rest of the day, but for the rest of the week, heck! For the rest of his life! Inhaling another wonderful deep breath of sweet, soft conditioned hair, Robin feels Cammie twitch in his embrace. Sensing Cammie wants some room to move, Robin lightens his hold, but doesn’t release her fully. Cammie takes the opportunity to turn around, bracing herself up on one elbow, her face by his face.
Opening my eyes the first thing I see is Cammie staring deep into my eyes. She’s so beautiful, I think to myself. Her soft cream skin and striking blue-green eyes, hair cascading over the pillow, framing her heart shaped face and flowing gently down the front of her neck. “Mornin” I sleepily smile at her. Leaning in to me with a shy smile Cammie gently drops a kiss on my lips then pulls back and says coyly, “would you like some more of that?” My heart skips a beat, then starts to race by the way she’s just unexpectedly and so seductively said that, I get a rush of blood straight to my manhood making it so hard it hurts. I nod my head yes. “Then come and get it”, she says behind blushing red cheeks. Oh my god I can’t believe it’s finally going to happen. Just as I’d always imagined, at her request. Ready to do anything my dove wills of me I’m putty in her hands.. leaning forward about to give her the most amazing kiss she has ever experienced… Robin’s eyes open as the pain in
Still unsure of what is happening I wait patiently in the living room with Callie. Robin is outside with whoever had come to save the day in the chopper. With the power of a hurricane the front door slams open, making Cammie and Callie jump with nervous tension. In rushes a woman with blue dreadlocks and a black leather coat. She runs straight to Callie and wraps her arms around her, “Jesus! What a night? You girls do not want to go out there, there’s a lot of blood” she says with a big eyed warning. My thoughts immediately turn to Robin, and she sees the panic in my face. “Your mountain man is just fine”, she’s quick to reassure me. She turns to Callie and whispers in her ear, almost so quietly that I only just make out what she says, “I’m glad your okay, I was worried about you”. And she nuzzles her nose up against Callie’s cheek. Not entirely sure who this person is or why she’s nuzzled so cosily in Cal’s neck at first, but the realisation slowly hits me when I notice she
My legs are starting to ache, I can’t stay in this squat position behind this chair for much longer, where the hell is Robin? Falling forward, I grab the chair to stabilise myself and it scrapes along the wooden floor, “Shit!” Worried they’re going to hear me in here. I gently slide the chair back into position and re-adjust myself so I’m distributing my weight more evenly. I lift the handgun and rest the end of the barrel on the top of the back of the chair, pointing it dead centre of the doorway. If anyone comes into the room now I’ve got a clear shot. It’s quiet, all I can hear is my own heart beating and my loud breathing, which is heavy and deep. Breathe Cam, just Breath…. I try some calming deep inhalation through my nose and out through my mouth in an attempt to slow down and steady my breathing and my racing heart. Everything’s dark, I can see the slit of light coming through underneath the door from the study lamp in the other room. All of a sudden, I see a shadow
I wonder if I should pack some things in a bag, Cammie asks herself. We might need to do a runner into the forest if someone comes. Looking at Robin who is checking out of each window every few minutes. He’s definitely on edge and is expecting something to happen tonight, I’d better pack a bag. I walk into the bedroom and head straight over to my pile of folded clothes. I figure the jeans I’ve got on are fine to wear more then a day but I grab fresh underwear and socks and spare T-shirt. I also grab the fleece and put it into Robins hiking rucksack. It’s not big so I have to be careful what I put into it. Scanning the room, I walk over to Robins drawers and grab a fresh T-shirt and a yellow and grey plaid button up shirt that feels nice and thick which should help keep him warm if we have to stay out in the cold all night. I grab some thick socks for him too and stuff them in the bag. Okay, so we’ll definitely be needing food and water. In the kitchen I find our water bottles,
Cammie goes back to the bedroom to change. This time she puts a pair of the jeans on with one of her new t-shirts and puts her boots back on as she thinks to herself, I can’t loose it like I did earlier on the mountain. I need to keep my head straight. Determined not to let her fear control her, she tries to convince herself that she is the same tough and fearless woman she was before the attack. She is still the same woman who survived an arrow through the stomach and hyperthermia. If she could face these fuckers once, she could do it again. Heading back out into the living area, Robin in the kitchen with the eggs being reheated in the pan. Cammie sees a shotgun leaning up against the wall next to the hunting rifle and a hand gun is laying on the kitchen counter close to where Robin is reheating the eggs. Determined she is going to defend herself at all costs she asks Robin, “are you going to show me how to use one of those?” Robin looks up at Cammie, “have you ever shot a gun b
