Derrik, he's a typical American teen age boy. 13 years old 5 foot 5 tall around 115 pounds. Light brown hair and hazel eyes and is our lead character. Chris was the next boy to come into the story. He was found locked in the freezer at the school. He's 11 with short darker blonde hair and blue eyes weighing around 80 pounds or so. Next was Josiah or Joe for short. He was the boy that was found at the bottom of the pit where he fell running from the aliens. He lived in a neighboring town to Chris and Derrik. He is 12 years old has short brown hair and is slightly bigger than Chris in size. Next to arrive is Adam or AJ, he is Josiah's cousin. He also is 12 but a bit smaller than Josiah. He was found in the bomb shelter of a collapsed house. Around 4 ft 6 and nearly 90 pounds or so. Light brown hair and had blue eyes when he was found.)Now back to the story. Awful visions of chaos and death filled my dreams. As I slept I saw my inner most sorrows come to life. I saw my family being destroyed over and over again. The site of my parents being murdered time after time. I finally woke from my nightmares around 4 am and sat up in the dark in a cold sweat breathing heavily. I sat there a few minutes and regained my breath and calmed down for a few minutes before breaking out in silent tears. I felt such sorrow over losing my family and my whole life to the invasion. I wept quietly to myself so I didn't wake the others, but Lucky was right there at my side in the darkness. I felt his wet tongue lick my wet cheeks. I grabbed a flash light and flipped it on to gain my bearings. I stood up and as quietly as I could exited the room with Lucky and headed out side to take a quick leak. I stood there in the cool night air still naked and pissed on my usual tree as did Lucky. As I pissed in the back of my mind I sort of sensed a faint presents. Not one of sorts that it was closing in on me in the darkness, but one that seemed very far away. But the most important thing is I believed it was human. It didn't have the feeling of being alien to me. I felt its fear, love, and sorrows emitting from afar. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the feeling. I opened my eyes to see if I was seeing through the eyes of another. I could see what they were seeing, but I couldn't control what I was seeing they had total control of that. I could see glancing around what seemed to be a dark pit or hole with a cage like lid on the top of it. Who ever this was I was sensing must be imprisoned some how. The more I concentrated on this person I realized they were young. Younger even then me and the others inside the cave. Then as I saw through their eyes they looked up to see a bright light coming from the top of their prison and an overwhelming feeling of terror washed over me and the connection I had to the kid was gone. "What the hell was that?" I thought to myself. I stood there naked in the darkness wondering if I was just dreaming or if what I just experienced was real. Rationality would tell me I was imagining it, but in my gut I knew it had to be real. I called to Lucky and we ran back inside the mine. "Guys, guys wake up!" I yelled as I ran back into the safe room. The three sleeping boys jumped as I startled them from their sleep. Adam grabbed for the first thing he could get his hands on which was a shoe and had I ready to hit something with. "Guys it's just me chill. Wake up I got something to tell you." I told them. "What is so important we had to wake up this time of the night to be told?" Chris asked yawning. "There's some one else out there alive." I stated simply. The three of them looked at me in disbelief. "Where? Outside the mine?" Josiah asked excited. "No, no. me and the dog went out to take a piss and I got this weird feeling that another presents was near. Not like real close but in the distance. I know it sounds weird but I concentrated really hard on that presents and some how I could see what the saw. Like I was inside them or something. I think it's a younger kid than we are, and I think the monsters have them." I said. The others looked at me like I just went loony on them. "Guys I know it sounds weird as hell, but you have to trust me on this. I think if we don't try to help this kid they're gonna die." I told the younger boys. They all could see I was being dead serious now and I meant what I was saying. "So what do we do?" Chris asked. Truthfully I didn't have a clue as to what to do about it. "Um.. well I can try to link back with the kid and see if I can like communicate with them or some thing. The last thing I felt from them was a feeling of total fear." I replied. "I dunno Derrik. I mean we're kind of safe here. Who knows what could happen to us if we leave to go and look for some one that we aren't even positive is out there." Josiah said making a point. "Good point you got Joe. But guys think about it. We may be the only other humans still alive to help this kid. Plus we have an edge over any one else that might still be alive. Remember we have our special abilities now. Who better than we to help this kid?" I said. The boys could see the logic in my answer, but I could also see the fear and wonder on their faces. AJ looked straight at me with his onyx eyes and said, "I'm in let's go for it." Chris to reluctantly agreed to help. "How about it Joey? You gonna help or stay here alone?" AJ asked his cousin. "Ah man. Ok, ok I'll help. I got a bad feeling we're going to regret this though." Josiah answered. Now in total agreement that we were going to help this kid we all got dressed. We quietly strolled out in to the pitch black night. Once we got to the mine entrance we turned the lights off for a minute till we were sure it was safe. "I don't hear or smell nothing." Chris said. "Yeah it looks clear to." AJ said. We flipped our flashlights back on and scanned around. I told the guys to be quiet and let me concentrate so I could try to re establish my earlier link to that scared kid. This time I could flashes of sights and sounds. I wasn't getting a clear enough connection this time. "I got an idea lets go up as high on the hill as we can." I told the boys. We all climbed to the top of the hill where I tried the connection again. This time it was much more intense. I fell to one knee as I felt the kids mind. "Oh man. I think the kids in deep shit guys." I said. I sat down this time determined to make a connection with the kid. I clinched my eyes and focused all of my thoughts on this kid. The harder I focused the more strain I felt on my mind. I finally broke through what seemed like an invisible barrier in my mind. "God please help me." I sensed the kid begging. "Ca you hear me?" I thought to this kid. "Yes. Is that you god? Or is it an angel? Please let me die already." The child begged. "No I'm not god or an angel my names Derrik. I know this sounds weird, but trust me I'm not an alien. I have what you could call special abilities that are letting me communicate with you. I want to try and help you. Do you know where you are?" I asked. "I'm in a hole. The monsters have me and they're gonna eat me. Please help me. PLEASE!" the kid begged. By this time I had picked up on the fact that it was a younger boy I was communicating with. He was scared, alone, and didn't know what to do. "Ok here's what I want you to do. I want you to think about the last thing you saw before the monsters grabbed you. Think about it as hard as you can. It may be the only way we can find and help you." I though to the boy. He was sending me visions of things I had seen once before. I wasn't quite sure where I had seen them though. Then he sent a vision of the clincher. "He's near Kingston! He just showed me a vision of the post office there I stayed at when I found AJ." I said snapping from my transe. I dove back into the depths of my mind to tell the boy, "Kingston, is that where you were when they found you?" "Yes" he replied. "We are coming for you. Try your best to stay alive and we WILL find you I swear it." I promised the boy. With that said I disconnected my thoughts from him and conversed with the other boys I was with. "Guys if we don't get to Kingston and try to find this kid he's toast. We all know what those things can do. We can't let that happen to him." I told the group. Now in a unanimous agreement we were going to help save this boy from a cruel evil fate. "AJ look around since we're up here so high and see if anything stands out to you." I said. He scanned around the dark horizon and stopped when he was looking in the direction of where the alien ship had crashed. "I can see the aliens ship, the one that crashed from here it's over that way about 4 or 5 miles away." He said pointing. It just so happened that the direction he was pointing was the way to Kingston. "Ok guys lets get back down to the mine and get ready for war." I said making the boys gulp in anticipation. In the mine we packed as many supplies as we could into backpacks and crammed as much as we could onto the trailer and on the ATV. We each took 2 guns and as much ammo as we could carry. By the time we were ready the ATV and trailer were loaded down heavily. We had for the moment just enough room for the four of us and Lucky to fit on the ATV and then it would be full. The plan was to head for Kingston and stop at the crashed ship along the way. We were going to check for survivors and anything useful in the ship we might find, then head to Kingston. I fired the ATV's motor to life as Adam rode shotgun literally holding a shotgun being my night eyes in the dark. I could only see so far ahead of us with the head light, but he could see much further and clearer. We rode along with Chris keeping an ear out for any noises out of the ordinary. It seemed like in no time we had rode the 5 or so miles through the woods in the dark to where the alien ship had crashed. It seemed to have went down hard since it was scattered all over the area in pieces. We dismounted the ATV with guns drawn on our guards just incase we were taken by surprise. As we approached the wreckage closer on foot we found the partially charred remains of 3 of the pale skinned aliens, the friendly ones. We went further into the wreckage and looked for any signs of life. We only found 2 more dead aliens inside though. We walked cautiously through what was left of the ship when we came to a room that looked important to me. "Hey guys lets check this room out." I told them. "Why" AJ asked. "Well that sign next to the door says armory tech. maybe there's something in there we can use." I replied. We walked inside and looked around the room. There were all kinds of strange things in there. Everything seemed to be made out of some sort of polished shiney metal. The only bad thing was almost everything in there seemed to be damaged in some way to, possibly from the crash. One thing that did catch my eyes was a device that looked like some kind of glove. I picked it up and slid it over my right hand and I instantly felt a tingly sensation in my hand. I held my hand out palm up and small bolts of electricity began to flicker form my finger tips. The boys were all in awe of watch the glove. I decided to try something, I balled my hand into a fist and concentrated on the thought of a shock wave blowing out away from me. As I thought this a huge burst of energy erupted from my fist knocking the others on their asses. "Holy shit!" I exclaimed when I saw what I had done just by thinking it. "Sorry guys I didn't know it was going to do that." I said apologizing. They all got up in total amazement and began searching for devices to use for themselves. Disappointingly we couldn't find anything else in the room that still worked that would help us in any way. We did have the glove though, the glove of doom Chris jokingly named it. All of the others tried the glove, but had no success in activating it. I guess my mental abilities were the controls to work it so the glove ended up becoming mine. I stowed in my back pack and we explored on into the ship further. We eventually found our way to what seemed to be the command center of the ship. Inside were 2 more dead aliens. I ran to a control panel and looked for some way to control it. There were no kinds of buttons or ways to work the device that I knew of so I tried something different. I place a hand on the console and thought about what I wanted to see and sure enough the display popped on. I thought about where could the monsters be close to Kingston and where possibly they have prisoners or food stashed. The screen showed what looked to be a small camp set up about 2 miles north of Kingston. The device told me that this was a food processing facility. A place where the monsters took their prisoners to be made into their food. If this truly was where the boy was he didn't have much time left. I took my hand of the console shutting it off and it shorted out shooting sparks all over the place. "Well I guess that it for that thing its junk now." I said. "Come on guys we have to get a move on I just found out that the kid is I a food processing camp. Those THINGS are going to eat him if we get him out of there." I stated. "What the hell are we waiting for then?" Adam said. We made our way back through the crashed ship and back to the large hole in the hull where we went in. We exited to the sun just starting to peak over the tree tops at us. By 7 am we had made it to the edge of the woods next to Kingston. "Ok boys we go on foot from here. We don't want them hearing the ATV motor. AJ I think you should lead the way, I mean you use to live around here and you can see things we can't." I said. We then concealed the ATV in some brush and put the leash on the dog and proceeded on foot towards Kingston. As we walked into the towns limits Chris began to sniff the air as did Lucky. "What is it?" I asked. "Smells like something dead." Chris replied. Further into the heart of town we walked till we ran into a hiccup. "Oh shit guys hide!" I said quietly but sternly. We all ducked for cover in an alley. I peeked around the corner to see one of those robots hovering in the middle of the street ahead of us. "You think it saw us?" Josiah asked. "Dunno, but lets not take any chances." Chris said. An idea then struck me. I took my pack off and dug the glove of doom out of it and slid it on covering my hand and forearm. "Guys I'm going to see what this thing can really do." I told them. I pointed my hand towards the robot and thought of an extremely high amount of lightning. A bolt of electricity shot from my finger tips to the robot and instantly fried it shorting it out. The robot fell to the ground shooting sparks out all over the place. "Wow" was all we could say. The glove was indeed a powerful device to be held. Fearing I might set off some sort of unknown power in the glove I removed it and stowed it back in my bag then we continued on. Adam led us then to the northern most part of town at the base of yet another hill covered in trees. "Stop! Shhhh!" Chris exclaimed. We froze instantly. He listened intently at the silence the rest of us heard. "Something's coming. Coming down the hill towards us. It sounds like 2 sets of footsteps, and what ever it is, it's bigger than us." Chris said. "Monsters?" Josiah asked worried. I again dug the glove out of my bag and slid it on. At that time Lucky's ears perked up and he began to growl. "Guys what ever you do don't shoot unless you absolutely have to. If there are more of them around they'll be on us like flies on shit if they hear a gun shot." I stated. I had the boys and the dog bunch in close to me like before and I activated the cloaking shield to hide us. We stood there in a tight huddle and waited fro the creatures to lumber down the hill to us. Hopefully they would just waltz right on past us without ever being the wiser we were standing right there. Chris reached down to muffle the dogs growling as the sounds grew close enough for us all to hear. Sure enough it was to of the hideous monsters stomping through the woods. As they got closer to us they began to slow down until they stopped completely right in front of us about 30 feet away. One of them began to sniff at the air. I gulped in fear and anticipation of what was probably getting ready to happen. The alien that was sniffing turned and looked in our direction and continued to sniff. It then let out an ear piercing sound that scared the living hell out of us. I knew then it was time to strike first. I flipped of the cloaking shield and exposed our position to the monsters. They both then roared out loudly and began to charge at us. I raised my gloved hand the only thing I could think of was a huge shockwave to push them away and then a burst of energy emitted from the glove and flung the aliens flying in to the air. They got right back up and came at us once more. This time I thought of torching them and a wave of intense heat flew from the glove engulfing the aliens in flames. "Shi look out!" Chris screamed as another monster snuck up on us from behind and grabbed AJ. "Adam no!" Josiah screamed out and with all his might punched the alien in the chest sending it soaring through the air. It slammed against a tree with a bone crushing thud. "Holy shit! You killed it!" Chris said in amazement. "WOW! Thanks cuz." AJ thanked him. "Well, well looks like you had some unknown powers on top of the self healing. That's kool we can use some superman strength." I stated. Josiah was totally amazed by his new found ability. Then he looked to the alien he blasted against the tree and took on a sorrowful worried face. "I never killed anything before." He said looking like he was about to cry. "Dude if you hadn't he would have killed me." AJ said to his cousin as he hugged him for saving his life. "Ok guys enough of the talk lets get our game face back on there might be more of them out there. You hear anything Chris?" I said. he listened to the air for a moment and said, "No. if they are out there they're being super quiet." We then trudged on towards the direction of the alien base. Chris and Adam walked in front as I draped an arm over Josiah's shoulder. "Don't feel bad for killing that thing dude. It damn sure was intending on killing us. Remember when it let out that loud ass sound? It was calling to the other ones that it found food. You actually did us a favor." I said to him making him feel some what better about it. By the time we crested the top of the hill we were pretty well worn out. As bad as I didn't want to do it we decided to hide in some bushes and take a break from the walking. We ate a quick snack and then AJ poked his head from the bushes to keep watch. I sat and closed my eyes and concentrated on the boy in the pit. "Are you still with us?" I ask him. "Yes please hurry please!" he begged me. "Don't worry we're coming for you. We will be where you are soon, just try to stay alive." I thought to him. "Derrik come here." AJ said excited. I crawled over next to him. "I can see the base from here. It looks like there are 3 aliens here and 1 ship. I can see 6 holes in the ground to. And oh god!" he said almost gagging. "What? What else do you see?" I asked "a pile of bones and body parts." He said trying not to gag. 3 aliens between us and who ever down there that might be alive's freedom. "Wait." He said then. He took his sunglasses of and focused in on the base more. "They're all getting in to the ship. Ok it just took off. The place is unguarded rite now." Adam said in excitement. "Guys on your feet lets go!" I said as we all sprang to our feet and ran the mile or so from the hill top to the alien base. We ran as fast as we could to try and get there before the aliens came back. we got there about 20 minutes later due to having to run through bushes and around other obstacles to get there. Once we got close we slowed to a turtles pace with guns drawn and on our guard. "Eyes open guys. This could be a trick." I told them. On we walked into the camps confines and straight to the pits. The first one was empty. Next one had what looked to be dead deer and other large woodland animals dumped in it. Third was a open toped pit full of processed meat for the monsters food that stunk badly. Fourth had the caged top closed and it appeared to have a few dead people in it. Same for the fifth. We all slowly walked to the rim of the last pit. Its lid was also closed. "This is our last chance guys he has to be in there." The boys took up a defensive stance wit their guns pointing at the holes opening and I looked down inside. "Are you in there? It's me Derrik. Can you hear me?" I yelled into the dark hole. "Help me!" a small boy screamed from deep in the hole. "Wait a minute." AJ said. he lowered his gun and walked over to the pit. He removed his sunglasses and looked in to the darkness. "DONNY! OH MY GOD DONNY!" he screamed frantically. He dropped his rifle and tried with all his might to open the cover to the pit the whole time screaming the name Donny. Josiah then said, "Donny? Holy shit it's my little cousin! It's AJ's brother!" before running over to the hole. By now Adam was frantic screaming his brother's name and crying as he tried to no avail no open his prison. "Put those new found abilities to the test Joe. See if you can open that lid." I told him. Chris and I ad to literally drag a screaming and fighting AJ away from the lid so Josiah could try to open it. I wrapped my arms around AJ to restrain him. "Adam let Josiah try to open it so we can get him out. Calm down he's going to be ok now. We got him now." I said in his ear calming some. We sat and watched as Josiah clinched the lid with both hands and strained to open it. "It won't open guys. It's locked somehow." He said sending AJ back in to hysterics. I then yelled at AJ, "Calm the fuck down dude. Freaking out like that isn't helping us any and it's not getting him out of there any faster." He then realized what I was saying and calmed a bit. I then went to examine the locking device on the cage lid. I still had the glove on so I tried using it. I placed my gloved hand on the lock and thought of extreme freezing cold. Frost began to emit from the lock as the glove froze it. "Why the hell did you freeze it for?" Chris asked. "This is why." I said as I smacked the butt stock of my shotgun against the lock shattering it into a million pieces. "Cold like that makes things break really easy." I explained to him. Josiah once more tried to open the lid. This time his strength paid off the lid creaked open as he strained his small body to lift it. He dug deep down inside and with one final grunt he flung the top all the way open. "Tie the rope off to that tree." I said as I wrapped the other end around my waist. I then began to descend into the pit. At the bottom was a young very dirty boy. Once I shined the light on him I knew instantly he had to be AJ's brother. If he were older he could be AJ's twin. "Ok little buddy I'm going to get you out of here." I told him. he had almost no strength at all to help me get him out. I lifted his dirt covered body and tied the rope firmly around him and myself. I then wrapped his arms around my neck and held him belly to belly and Josiah hauled us back to the surface. As we approached the surface AJ was right there waiting. The small boy took one look up and instantly began bawling, "AJ it is you!" he cried. The guys pulled us out of the hole and Adam engulfed his baby brother in a bear hug and they both cried like babies. "Oh god bubby I thought I lost you for ever!" AJ cried to his baby brother. "Guys I don't mean to ruin your reunion, but he need to get the hell out of here. They know we're here now." I told them as I sensed that some sort of force was approaching us from afar. "Here Adam let me carry him. It'll be no sweat for me." Josiah said. Reluctantly AJ released the hold on his brother and Josiah scooped his little cousin up in his arms. "Let's get the fuck out of here now." I said wanting to get home. We made a mad dash in the same direction we came out of the camp on our way home. The run back to the hill was harder than it was going to the camp. We go to the area where we encountered the aliens and their dead bodies were now gone. "Oh shit that's not a good sign." Chris said getting worried. A bit further we ran till Chris warned us, "I hear something out there guys and it sounds big." Still we kept running till we came upon what Chris warned us of. Stopping us dead in our tracks was standing on 2 legs, a huge grizzly bear. The other boys grew scared. I on the other hand felt a connection with the animal. I walked closer to the bear and stood directly in front of it. "Derrik no it's gonna kill you!" AJ yelled. I stared the bear right in the eye though. It then dropped down to its normal 4 legged position. Now it sort of whimpered and turned and ran off. The boys stood there in total awe that it didn't maim me. "What the fuck was that?" Chris asked in amazement. "I connected with its mind. I told it we weren't trying to hurt it and we were friends. It was scared is why it reared up like it did. Once he understood we were friendly he left. He also said he dragged the monsters off and left them in the bushes. They were fucking with his territory and he didn't like it." I said giggling. Once our encounter was done we continued on to Kingston. Some where in the middle of town Donny regained consciousness and began to cry for his mother. He was so out of it he had no idea what was going on, probably due to being dehydrated and not eating for so long. "Guys lets go in there and take a break we need to give him a good check over." I said to the others as I pointed to a half demolished house. Josiah carried his younger cousin into the house with AJ right o his heals worried about his little brother. I made a make shift pillow from my back pack and Joe lay Donny on the floor resting his head on the pack. Chris was one step ahead of me thinking of taking out the first aide kit. "Good idea dude we might need it." I said looking to Chris. He knew I had read his mind and took the kit out of his pack. I checked the small boy over thoroughly checking for broken bones and other injuries. For the most part he just had scrapes and bruises, but he did have a pretty good gash on his inner thigh that looked like it might be infected a bit. I took his temperature and he did have a slight fever. "He's sick guys. He's got a fever and that cut looks infected. We need to get him back to the mine. We have stuff there that might help him. There's not much we can do with this first aide kit." I told them. "Please Derrik help him. Don't let him die PLEASE!" AJ begged me. I placed my hand on his tear stained cheek and assured him I'd do my best. We tried to give Donny some water and he happily sipped it but slowly since he was so weak. "Let's get him back to the mine I think we're pushing our luck being out in the open like this so much." Josiah said making a valid point. As we were repacking our packs and getting ready to head to the ATV Chris interrupted us, "Shh. I heard something. Sounded like a gun cocking, but quietly." He said. "A gun cocking? That means there's some one else alive out there." Adam said. "Yeah maybe, but we don't know if they're friendly or not so be on your toes." I said as Josiah scooped Donny's little body up and we left the ruined house. We trekked on to the woods on the far side of town with our guard up looking for what ever made the sounds Chris heard. About 100 feet from the edge of town from behind us we heard, "Don't move." I spun around raisin my gun and pointed it. There stood a man holding a deer rifle pointing it at us. "Drop the guns." He yelled at us. "No way dude you put yours down." I screamed back. I wasn't about to put my gun on the ground. The other boys were a bit more shaken by the man than I was. AJ and Chris slowly lowered their guns to the ground and raised their hands. Again the man yelled, "Put the damn gun down now!" still I wasn't going to do it. Josiah being in fear lowered his cousin to the ground and a she raised back up "BOOM" the mans gun blasted. I turned to see Josiah fly backwards from a gun shot wound to his chest. "NO! JOEY NO!" AJ screamed at the top of his lungs as he ran to his cousin. At that point I saw red. I still had the glove on and I threw the gun on the ground. I raised my hand and with all the fury, anger, and might in me the glove discharged with a lethal blow to the man picking him up and flinging him backwards through the air in a way that no living thing could survive. He was thrown at a neck snapping speed over the tree tops as far as the eye could see. My attention was then turned to Josiah. He was laying on his back and gasping for breath spitting out blood. "Oh fuck. Hang on Joe don't die on us." I said starting to freak out a bit. Chris sat next to him holding his hand and bawling his eyes out. I took AJ's hand and placed it on Josiah's chest over the bullet hole. "Keep pressure on it." I told him. He pressed down on it and began to pray for his cousin not to die. I dug through one of the packs looking for the first aide kit again. "Joey no!" I heard AJ scream then. I ran back to him and he had stopped coughing up blood and closed his eyes. It looked like we have last him at that point. The three of us then all broke down in tears as we looked at his body laying still. Then a surprise, he opened his eyes wide and sat up. "That fucker ruined my shirt" Josiah said. The three of us sat and looked at him in disbelief with wide eyes. He then spit out a big mouth full of spit and blood clearing his throat and pulled his shirt off. Realizing he was alive and ok Chris sprang to his knees and engulfed Josiah in a huge hug and kissed him all over his cheek. AJ sat still in disbelief. I called his name and he didn't move, he sat and stared at Josiah. "Adam, are you ok?" Joe asked him, but still he stared. Worried I walked over and crouched in front of him and lightly smacked him on the cheek. He began crying like a baby then. "You didn't have to hit him that herd." Chris said complaining at me. "I didn't hit him hard Chris." I responded. "Adam look at me bud. Are you ok?" I said. He nodded his head as he cried. I took his head in my arms and he cried into my chest like a baby. "Why is all this happening?" he said between heavy sobs of hard breathing. "I don't know bud, but it is happening and we have to get through this together." I said to him. As I held AJ Josiah crawled over and also hugged his cousin. "Adam I'm ok. Remember I got those healing powers. It hurt for a second when he shot me, but it was like I fell asleep then woke up. And when I say it hurt, damn did it." Joe said to his cousin. I let loose of AJ then and he grabbed his cousin in a tight embrace. "I love you Joey please don't ever leave me." AJ cried. Just then Donny began to cry again. "AJ? Mommy? Daddy?" he moaned. "Go to your baby bro now." Josiah said releasing his cousin's hug. Before tending to his brother AJ kissed his cousin on the cheek and smiled with teary eyes. Josiah sat there then shirtless smiling to Chris who was happy his friend was still alive. He then crawled back to Chris and planted a good wet kiss right on his lips. As the boys were glad Joe was still alive I lay down on my back and took a breather. I was so drained at that point I didn't know how I was going to go on. "You ok Derrik?" Chris asked. "Yeah bud. I'm just worn out. This whole thing is taking a lot out of me. I feel like I can sleep for a month, but I know I can't yet." I replied. We rested for a bit totally off our game at that point. Anything could have walked up on us and we wouldn't know it was there. What snapped my tired mind back to reality were rain drops hitting my sweaty face. "Come on boys let's get to the ATV and get back to the damn mine." I said feeling like something inside me wasn't right. I was kind of scared, but I wasn't going to tell the others yet. Again Josiah carried Donny and we proceeded to the ATV. When we got there it was right where we left it. We all piled onto it and motored on back to the mine. The trip back was much faster than the trip coming since it was daylight and we knew the way we came. About an hour and a half later we were climbing the hill to the mine entrance. "We're home dudes." I said getting slight cheers from them. I stopped the ATV in front of the entrance where the dog jumped off and ran strait to the closest tree to relieve his bladder. By now my head was pounding. This was one of the worst head aches I ever had. "Guys can you unload the ATV and trailer then unhook the trailer. I need something cold to drink." I told them before I went ahead into the mine. Inside the safe room I opened the cooler and pulled out a can of pepsi from the mostly melted ice. I cracked it open and took a big drink, the next thing I knew I was on my back looking up at the cave roof. "Guys come quick something's wrong with Derrik" I heard Josiah yell just before I passed out. "Derrik., Derrik can you hear me? Come on man wake up." I heard AJ say just as I opened my eyes. I found my self laying in the bed naked and clean now. "What the fuck happened? Last thing I remember was drinking a pop. Now I'm in bed naked." I asked. "You passed out dude. We're not sure what happened." Joe said. "Yeah remember you said yesterday that you felt tired and worn out and when we got back home you passed out." Chris said. "Wait, wait, wait. Yesterday? What the hell? How long was I out?" I asked. "You were out cold for almost 20 hours. You scared the hell out of us." Adam said. I sat up and got my wits about me and noticed the guys all had shorts on. "Ok what gives with the shorts? I thought we agreed naked was ok when we was in here." I asked them. "Well we kind of didn't want to spill the beans to the little one yet." Josiah said referring to Donny who was sleeping a few feet away from me. "How is he? Has he woken up yet?" I asked. "No not really. He just pops up like yesterday every now and then." AJ said worried. I got out of bed and stretched my now sore body. As I stood up I noticed the others eyes transfixed on my goodies. "Gees like you guys never saw my dick before." I said laughing at them. "Well it's just been a few days since we did anything is all." Chris said referring to naked play time in the mine. I walked the few feet to Donny and checked his now squeaky clean forehead for his temperature. He felt a bit cooler now than he did yesterday so I figured his fever had broken some. I then checked his leg and the boys had dressed it with some clean bandages. As I was inspecting his little body I noticed that he to was now naked. He had a cute slight little body resembling that of Adam's only smaller. His small 2 inch limp pecker laying above 2 small marble sized balls looked yummy enough to eat, but now sure wasn't the time. "Hmm. Looks like AJ's got a mini me." I said giggling. "Shut up." AJ replied laughing to. I checked his temp with a thermometer and it read slightly above normal, but not much. "Guys I'm going to try and connect with him like I did before we found him. He might wake up then." I told them. I placed my hand on his smooth cheek and temple and concentrated on him. "Can you hear me Donny? It's me Derrik. Remember me? The one who found you in the hole?" I though to him. just then his eyes sprang open "I sure do remember." He said in a sleepy little boy's voice. "Bubby!" AJ said as he embraced his baby brother in a hug. "Oh god I thought you were dead. I should have come looking for you." AJ said before starting to cry. "Adam you couldn't help it you were trapped under that house. Don't blame yourself like that." I told him. "Yeah just be thankful we found him alive." Josiah said. "Joey? Is that you?" Donny said now wide awake. Joe smiled and came over to greet his little cousin. AJ took his sunglasses off to wipe his teary eyes and that's when Donny noticed his eyes. "You're not my brother! You're another monster! HELP!" Donny began to scream and cry fearing is brother was not real. "Donny it is me. Who taught you how to swim and ride your bike?" AJ asked. "You did." Donny answered. "Bubby it is me. It really is. I know my eyes look weird but it's a long story. If you calm down we will tell it all to you." AJ said holding his brother's shoulders to keep him still. "Don't be scared of my eyes. it's still me underneath. I can see a whole lot better now with these eyes. I'm still your big bubby." AJ said to him. He then leaned in and said something to him that only they could hear and Donny answered "Yeah I remember." He then grabbed his older brother around the neck and began to cry tears of joy. The moment truly touched me seeing the two of them reunited. It also mad the other boys feel good since they were now teary eyed to. Time went by as AJ and his brother told each other their stories of what has happened to them in the last week or so. I sat trying to take it all in as my mind wondered in a million directions at once. It seemed like I had to grow up all at once, but I wasn't sure of how I was going to do this. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to. The other boys had come to depend on me as being the oldest of the group, but sometimes I wondered if it was too much pressure for a kid my age. "Derrik you ok?" Chris asked me. I opened my eyes to see him staring me in the face. "Yeah dude I'm ok, just letting my mind drift is all." I replied. He began to giggle and said, "Well from how hard your pecker is I think you got a lot on your mind." I looked down and sure enough I had a raging boner. I laughed and said. "Oops I guess I do." Donny looked over and saw me and began to giggle to. "He's got a hard one bubby look." Donny said laughing to his brother. "Don't make fun of him Don it's not like you haven't seen a boner before." AJ scolded him. That statement peeked my interests so I peered inside of Adam's mind. I picked up on something that I never thought it would. AJ was thinking about how he used to bathe and have fun with his little brother in the bath tub, the naughty kind of fun that is. I dove even deeper into his mind then and saw a memory of his of how he used to suck his little brother off in the bath tub when they took those baths. I didn't want to say anything to AJ about it, but no knowing this got me even harder than before. I noticed that the others had taken notice to my cock being hard. Their dicks were all hard now to. "Adam can I talk to you a sec in private?" I asked. He agreed and we walked out into the mine shaft to talk. "Wassup?" he asked. "Sorry but I kinda invaded your mind. I'm sorry and I hope your not mad at me now, but I know about the bath time fun." I said. He stood there silent not knowing what to say. "Guess you think I'm a perv or something now don't you?" he said looking like he was getting upset. "Not at all dude I think you're a loving big brother that just wanted to make your little bro feel good." I answered. He smiled then and hugged my still nude body. I could feel his partially hard cock poking me in the thigh through his shorts. He then looked into my eyes smiling as I planted a small kiss on his tender lips. "You think baby bro might be up for some fun with the bigger boys?" I asked. He smiled and said, "Maybe, but I don't want to force him or rush him into doing anything with you guys. I mean I know he would with me and probably Joey, but he doesn't really know you and Chris yet." He said. Seeing his point I just said ok and we went back in the safe room. It was nearly night time by now and the little bit of light in the mine shaft that came from the entrance was fading. "Guys it's getting late out there and I'm fucking hungry as hell so lets eat." I announced making Donny fully agree. He gulped down cans of pepsi and ate chowed down on 2 cans of soup. He burped loudly in only the way a boy of 9 could long and gross, but it still made us all laugh. We didn't want to give him too much slid food yet since he hadn't really eaten any real food in a long time. The liquids might be better on his stomach I thought. Chris and Josiah had started to play their video games while I checked through the information device we got off the dead alien. AJ and his brother were sitting and chatting to themselves. I tried to not delve to deep into their conversation, but I couldn't help but hear a little bit of it. I heard AJ telling his brother about how we had our "fun" time, and how we all slept in the same bed area together naked. I also heard Donny telling his brother that he didn't care because they use to sleep like that to sometimes. After a little while I noticed AJ's eye lids begin to get heavy as he was chatting with his brother. Donny on the other hand seemed wide awake, probably from all the pop he drank having him wired. I found a file in the info device that said holodisplay. I opened the file and a huge hologram appeared in front of me displaying the information on the device was in it. Donny's eyes lit up in amazement. "WOW! He mouthed with out actually saying. As I looked at the hologram I saw AJ now sitting up leaning against the wall asleep. I motioned for Donny to come over and sit by me. He shook his head no. I then sensed he didn't want to because he was still naked. "It's ok little dude I'm naked to. You'll see all of us naked in a little while, and besides I already saw your wiener." I told him laughing. He finally said what the hell and slid the blanket off him and crawled over and sat his little naked body next to mine. He looked up at me and smiled blushing. "Little bud you can do just about what ever you want now. There's no adults to tell us no now. So if you want to be naked all the time you can." I told him. "Ok, but maybe not all the time this floor is kinda cold." He said giggling. I couldn't help how much he looked like his brother when he smile, aside form AJ having the devil eyes Donny had those beautiful blue eyes his brother once had. I showed him how to mess with the hologram to make it move around and change shaped while I went over to his big brother. "AJ hey bud wake up and get undressed so you can lay down." I told him quietly as I shocked him from his sleep. He stretched his body and began to undress then. Donny's little eyes were locked on his brother as he stripped naked to lie down. As soon as Adam's head hit the pillow he was softly snoozing. Poor kid has had a rough day I hope was all it was. I then noticed Chris yawning which was contagious since Josiah then started to yawn as well. "Guys why don't you get ready for bed." I asked. Not about to disagree they both began to undress for bed. Chris stood up and slid his shorts and undies down and stretched as he stood back up with is arms over his head. Donny's little eyes were locked on the other 2 boys as they took their clothes off for bed. He noticed me watching him stare at the others and then got red in the face as he grew embarrassed. "Nothing to be shy over little dude we all stare at each other and then some." I said poking him gently in the ribs making him giggle. He seemed to like being tickled since he squealed like a little toddler as I poked his ribs. He got to the point where he was short of breath and I stopped to let him catch his breath again. "I gotta pee now." He said still half giggling. "I'll take him I need to go myself." Chris volunteered. "C'mon little guy lets go pee on a tree." Chris said smiling. "Are we going to go naked?" Donny asked. "Why not? Not like any one is going to see you out there." I mentioned. Donny took Chris' hand then and the two of them ventured out into the dark mine shaft. Outside the entrance the two of them stood next to each other and pissed on the same tree. "It's scary out here." Donny whispered in the dark. "It's ok little guy if some one or something was out there I would hear it. I got super sensitive hearing and I can smell stuff better than you and the others can to." Chris explained. Hearing that reassured Donny of the dangers of the night. They walked back into the safe room to see the rest of the boys laying in some sort on the bed. The bed was barely big enough as it was for the four boys, but now with Donny it was going to be cramped. "I think a trip to town is going to be a must tomorrow." I said. "Why's that?" Chris asked. "Well we need to get Donny some clothes for one thing. We can't have him running around naked all the time. Plus we need to expand the bed a little bit more now to." I told them. Chris lay down in his usual spot and Donny stood waiting to be told where he can sleep. He looked so cute standing there nude with his milky skin and cute face looking like the cat that ate the canary. He looked good enough to eat, especially his tender 2 inch limp mushroom hanging over his small tight little ball sack. The sight of him standing there like that got me hard very quickly. Donny noticed my little friend spring to attention and began to giggle. "Your wiener got hard again." He chuckled pointing at my dick. "So, get use to it kiddo you'll probably seeing a lot of stuff like that with us." I explained to the younger boy. He simply shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Ok now I guess we need to get a place to crash don't we. How about you sleep next to your big bro?" I suggested to him. It seemed like a good idea because he walked over to the far side of the bed and lay down next to AJ on the small bit of bed area left. As soon as Adam felt warmth against his body he draped his arm over his little brother and pulled him against his chest. "Love you" I heard him say in his sleep. Some how he knew his brother was now with him even in his sleep. I messed the little guy's hair then pulled the blanket over them. Once I was in my spot on the bed it was now a tight fit for us. I lay on my side and snuggled up to Chris who was on his way to dream land. I couldn't help but to give his small tool a quick squeeze just to let him know I still cared. He smiled instantly when he felt my grip. I was going to give him a bit of a thrill, but exhaustion was winning me over at that point so I gave him a few short strokes them released him. "Maybe tomorrow" I whispered in his ear making him smile again. I kissed him on the cheek then we were off to sleep our selves.
