The Stranger

Written by The Bard


Part 4


The boat roared up against the cruiser and Chad climbed up the buoy rope as
fast as he could.

"Dad! Dad!"

Chad ran across the deck and made his way to the stairs that led to the
galley.

He burst into the lounge. "Dad ! Dad!" his family were all sitting in the
small lounge watching TV., well actually they were all watching poor old
Tony trying to get a picture on a makeshift aerial made out of a coat
hanger. Chad's shouting caused Tony to jump and bump his head on the roof
of the cruiser.

"what do you want.for ffffuc... ferret sake." Said Tony rubbing his head.

"Dad I was on the beach; and I heard this waterfall, I started to climb the
bank to take a closer a look and..and..and then all of the sudden this face
popped out of no where!. I couldn't believe it, I nearly shit myself!"

"Chad!" scalded his Mum as she threw a small cushion at him.

"hey, hey! Slow down a bit little man." Tony made Chad take a deep breath
and start again.

" While I was ashore I heard this waterfall, so I climbed up the bank to
have a look. And just before I got there, just before I could poke my head
over the top, a great big face popped up in front of me. I wasn't scared, I
just wanted to get here as soon as I could and tell you about it.you know,
In case it was a dangerous animal or. or ...or" he glanced over to his
sister, who wasn't buying a word of it. She began to make wanking motions
in the air.

"oh fine then don't believe me!" Said Chad angrily leaving towards his
cabin. The room was silent as Chad stormed off.

"What's the matter with him?" Questioned Veronica knowing full well that
she was what was wrong with him.

Veronica stared at her Mum and Dad waiting for their agreement. It didn't
come, instead she was offered unsatisfied, solemn frowns.

"All right I'll go and see if he's ok." Said the defeated Veronica with her
hands in the air moaning under her breath.


With his heart pounding Chad chanced a look out of his port hole that over
looked the hill he had just flown down.

" Well nothing or no one has followed me." Chad was quite relieved but was
not totally unconvinced that he hadn't just been centimetres away from his
death. He laid on his bed and tried to piece together what had happened and
what he had seen.

He closed his eyes and tried to draw the strange face in his minds eye.

"well it wasn't a ugly face, or a face I should be scared off." Thought
Chad to himself as the fear began to fade. As far has he was concerned it
was improbable but not impossible, that there were other people living on
the island. The fact that it looked like you could walk round the whole
thing in a day, didn't seem to enter his mind, as pictures of whole
unexplored areas of the island began to enter his head.

"who ever it was, they were nearly as scared as I was.

"come in." said Chad in answer to the knock at his cabin door. Veronica
walked into the small cabin, which she was sharing with her brother.

"what's up maggot?' Veronica sat on the bed and gently massaged the small
of Chad's back.

Chad turned and with puffy red eyes, and stared wearily at his sister. "If
you're here to take the piss, you can bugger off now!"

"Hey! Steady big guy, I only came in to make sure you are ok."

"yeah I know, Im sorry." Chad sat up and rested his head on his sisters
shoulder.

"Come on Ferret, what happened on the beach?"

Chad told veronica about the jungle drenched hill and how he climbed to the
top of the hill to investigate the sound of a waterfall.

"I was almost to the top when a face popped out through the jungle. It
frightened the shit out of me and I ran all the way down the hill and
grabbed the boat."

"What kind of face was it; an animal, a masked face what? Questioned
Veronica

"no it was just a normal face, a...boys."


mean while


Billy's parents were speeding their way back from the mainland. They were
almost at port when they noticed the large Cruiser was still sitting near
the reef.

"Look Max that boat is still there." Said Bills mum pointing at the
Cruiser.

" So it is, perhaps we should go and see if they are ok?"

"yeah ok but don't get too close just in case they are drug dealers or
something." said Billy's Mum standing ready with a French bread stick in
her hand, reminiscent of some full blooded, 18th century Musketeer.

Billy's father laughed at his wife's fears.

"well you cant be too sure you know Max, some of these Druggy types are
Mental!"

"Oh yes, I will be ready for anyone leaping onto the boat armed with a
heavily buttered baguette dear ." Said Max laughing at his wife.

The small skip slowly closed in on the cruiser. Max carefully checked out
the low waters as he got closer.

Billy's Mum was carefully scanning the boat for machine guns and crack
fiends.

"Well there is their problem, they have got stuck on the sand bar. " Max
called out

"hello! Anyone there?"

"A hoi! " shouted Chad's father as he walked out of the cockpit and peered
over the side of the boat.

"seems you are in a little trouble." Smiled Max.

"You could say that, we have found ourselves a little stuck." Said Tony
trying to fathom how a little skip got all the way out in the pacific.

"Are you cruising in your skip, or are you lost?" giggled Tony.

"no, believe it or not we own that Island. We thought you might like a
little help." Laughed Max.

Tony invited them aboard , and lowered the ladder.


Back at the cabin.

Billy composed himself and stood up. Sweat was filling his cuts making them
sting, He felt as though he had been cut to bits.

" oh fucking hell! Well, I'm going to mark whipping off my fetish list."
Laughed Billy to himself searching through the kitchen cupboards for the
antiseptic. Billy, still naked, plopped himself down at the table and began
to clean some of his wounds. Fortunately most of them were in the groin
area, across his chest and thighs; so nobody will see them. Although he was
frighten as to what the face was, up at the waterfall, he wasn't going to
tell his parents, as they would probably want to go home; or ban him from
the waterfall.

"it wasn't a bad face or even an animals face, it was more like a boy."
Thought Billy to himself, he wandered if it was just his reflection. The
pain of the cuts started to fade and Billy was feeling a bit of a dick,
over all the fuss he had made. He went to his room and put some clothes
on. His parents would be home soon and he didn't want to have to explain
these little cuts and whip marks. The more Billy thought about what just
happened the more he was convinced he had nothing to fear. He was, however,
a little confused, as far as he knew the island was deserted, apart from
his families cabin. Billy walked to the bathroom and washed his face, new
cuts and bruises began to sting as the weight of his clothes pushed down on
his sorry skin.

Hot steam began to fog the kitchen window, facing the beach as Billy poured
hot water into his coffee.

As Bill began to stir in his generous helpings of sugar he heard the
familiar rumble of the skip as it slowed into the doc.

"typical!" moaned Billy "they always turn up when the kettle has just
boiled." Billy grabbed his Mum and Dads cups out of the cupboard and peered
out of the window. They weren't alone.


"That's our little home from home." Said Max pointing at the two story
beach house.

"bloody hell they must be loaded." Whispered Chad to his sister as they all
followed Billy's parents along the small wooden dock. Chad noticed that the
beach house was shielded by the Jungle and was hidden from the beach he
landed on, and claimed in his name earlier.


Billy watched as his parents guided the strangers up to the house. He was
quite shy and was in no hurry to wander out as a greeting party. He was
thinking of hiding in his room, when he was noticed by his Mother skulking
in the shadows of the front door.

"Yoo Hoo Billy, come and meet our guests!" said his Mum, Linda, dragging
him out of the house and onto the porch; relieved that he wasn't naked.


Billy didn't see Chad or Veronica, as they were hidden by their
parents. Max introduced Chad's parents to a red faced Billy.

"these are the people who own that large cruiser that you have been so
worried about, they are going to stay with us until the morning when the
coast guard are coming to tow them off with the tide."

Billy said Hi but offered very little more conversation, public speaking
was not one of his strong points, and to be honest he was feeling a little
uncomfortable in the groin region.

Tony, Chad's Dad, moved aside and pushed Chad towards Billy.

"oh I almost forgot, This is My son Chad and my daughter Veronica." Bill
was a little taken back by Veronica , she was a bit of a babe, but scary.

"Hi Veronica." Said Billy blushing and trying to look past her.

"it had to be another boy, couldn't have been a girl." Said Veronica in her
mind and still smiling.

"this is my brother Chad, hobbies are dancing and cards" Said Veronica
moving to one side.

"piss off Ronny!." Said Chad turning to greet Billy.

Billy, confused by Veronica's joke, put out his hand to shake Chad's.

"Hi Mate.y." Billy stopped. Both boys stared into each others familiar
eyes, but said nothing. For a moment there was nothing except their two
faces; no sound, no other people, just the pounding of their hearts. It was
a mixture of fear, relief and embarrassment all squished into a single
moment, that seemed to last for hours but was merely seconds.

"hi..I'm Chad.er ." Chad words were almost staggered by the excessive
beating of his heart.

"Bill" said Billy in reply, still holding Chad's hand. By now the two boys
were alone on the porch, still staring not believing their eyes.

Chad chanced a nervous laugh as he let go of Billy's hand. "sorry." Chad
recognised Billy's face, he didn't know whether to be relieved or just
forget the whole incident, hoping that life will pass them both by and
nobody will remember the screaming and fear. Unfortunately for Chad Bill
was going to have a surge of bravery as his curiosity got the better of
him.

"It was you wasn't it; today at the waterfall?"

"Chad began to feel a little relieved but also slightly embarrassed.

"let me see, did the person you saw scream his head off, then fall down a
jungle laced hill?"

"I'm not sure?" said Billy with a smile. " Did the person you saw, scream
and then run down a hill without his feet touching the ground and whipped
to death convinced he was being followed by cannibals?"

Both boys began to laugh, as they turned and walked into the house.


*

"Well this is my room." Said Billy giving Chad the tour, or should I say ,
a well conceived plan to escape from the parents whom seem to be hitting it
off quite well. Billy's room was very basic, as he didn't bring or leave a
lot of his stuff on the Island. The boys sat on Billy's large bed.

"so what were you doing half way up a mountain this afternoon.?" Questioned
Billy handing him his soda.

"not a lot really. I got bored hanging around on the boat and decided to
take the skip to the beach, you know, just explore." Chad told Billy about
the beckoning sound of the waterfall and how he simply followed the noise
up the hill.

" I think I was almost there when you and I tried to give each other heart
failure."

Billy sat next to Chad on the bed but winced with pain as he sat down next
to him.

"I'll take up there tomorrow if you like, its really nice .ow!" Chad
flinched again.

"what's up?" said Billy noticing that he was uncomfortable

Chad explained how he was whipped and cut to pieces as he ran for his life
down the hill.

"where are you hurt.?" Asked Chad feeling a little guilty.

"well I've got some small cuts on my legs but I managed to put cream on
them, but I'm sure I've got small cuts on my back."

Chad suggested to Bill that he took off his shirt and let him have a look
for him. Billy didn't hesitate, he really liked Chad, and so far, the few
hours they have spent together had been very comfortable. Bill took off his
shirt and turned for Chad to see his back.

"bloody hell!" exclaimed Chad, you've got loads of little scratches and
stuff, they look nasty.

Chad also noticed that Billy's jean barely clung to his hips causing them
to rest low on his butt. Chad's heart began to beat again as visions of his
card partner Robbie popped into his mind.

"do you want me to put some cream on the cuts for you, I kind of feel
responsible." Chad felt a little unsure of how Billy would react to the
question of him touching his body, and was surprised when Billy said, yes.


Bill left the room to get the ointment from the bathroom.

"ok here we are." Said Bill handing him the tube, and laying face down on
his bed, To Chad's surprise he unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them further
down his butt. Chad sat on the bed at his side slowly screwing off the lid
of the tube, and also finding it hard to fight back a raging hard-on as the
situation became more and more sexy; reminiscent of is games with Robbie.

"I really appreciate this Chad, those little wanky cuts were driving me mad
through dinner.

Chad couldn't speak, instead he just sort of grunted transfixed by Billy's
smooth tanned body.

He squirted a small blob of cream into his hands and rubbed them together
slightly.

" ok here we go, Ill do it slowly ok if it hurts let me know?"

" go on, ready."

Chad peered down at his saw back, the cuts looked quite nasty and there
were a lot of them; he didn't really know where to start.

He squirted a little more cream into his hands and smoothed it onto Bills
back, almost massaging it.

"oh that would feel nice if it didn't fucking sting so much." Laughed Bill.

Chad's stiffy was really straining in his jeans. Billy's body felt really
nice, especially as he worked his way down to his butt. Chad hands were now
on the top of Bills butt as he worked the cream into the arch of Bills
lower back. His bottom was smallish and round, it barely moved as Chad
gently smoothed the cream over and over, in a light gentle, circular
motion.

"That's nice Chad, you've' got good massaging hands." Chad came to,
embarrassed that he had noticeably spent too long on Bills butt.

"thanks Chad." Billy flipped over and re-buttoned his jeans. Chad noticed
that Bill was erect as he got a quick glimpse of his penis poking past the
waste band of his boxers.

Chad rapidly averted his eyes and changed the subject.

" where am I going to sleep tonight Bill?" Chad wiped the cream off his
hand on his jeans.

Billy's heart began to race again and his erection once again awakening.

"don't take this the wrong way dude, but you can sleep with me in my double
bed, head to toe..or..or whatever." Billy felt a weird especially after
getting hard while Chad was touching him. Billy and his friends always
shared a bed and he didn't think anything of it.

Billy rushed for a verbal escape," or..or I could fix up something on the
floor for ya."

Chad didn't want that, he wanted to hopefully see a little more of Bills
body. The thought of touching it again, or even just the sensation of
laying skin on skin with him was intoxicating.

"oh no there's no need for that, Me and my friends do the same, its no
biggy!"

"yeah cool, ok then." Billy too was hoping that Chad would agree to sharing
his bed. He was so cute. Billy loved to fool around with is mates
especially, in the bedroom and the thought of doing it with Chad was making
him a little dizzy.

"Well I must say you are a fast mover." Joked Chad

Bill was confused. "what do you mean?"

"Well lunch time you had me screaming, thinking you were a raged killer or
something, and now you've talk me into touching your butt and sleeping with
you!" both boys laughed loudly flopping down on to Billy's bed.

" Is It always so quiet here at night?" said Chad pulling the quilt under
his and moving closer to Bills warm body. They were sleeping head-to-toe in
Billy's bed. It was pitch dark.

"yeah, its cool isn't it? It took me a why to get to used to it at first
but now I love it."

Chad moved up the top of the bed, so that he was now laying right next to
Billy.

"thought Id come up your end so we could..... talk." said Chad with a
menecing tickle to his voice.
