Chapter 1
The End

The End!

Well, that's what it seemed like, late on one August day, when the world as we knew it ceased to be. It wasn't because of nuclear war, or global warming, or any of the other reasons people usually think of in their everyday lives.

It turned out to be one of those things that people never thought would happen in their lifetime, something that was always played off as just science fiction, and not realistic. You could call biblical in nature, since I have heard it called the Wrath of God.

Whatever you want to call it, the life we knew ended that day. Governments fell, societies crumbled, all systems of wealth became as nothing, and everyone was on an equal footing, struggling just to survive.

***

It started while I was in school, in the first few days of 7th grade. The skies grew dark as if the sun was being eclipsed, and the ground trembled as if a massive earthquake was occurring. Then, just as suddenly as it had started, the shaking stopped completely.

That was when I heard the civil defense sirens going off, the ones used for tornados. It could only mean an emergency. I looked out through the window to see what was obscuring the sunlight and when the dark clouds parted, they revealed their secret. I saw something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. The only word I could use to describe it was ALIENS!

As my classmates and I gazed upward, we heard the announcement to take immediate shelter in the school's old bomb shelter in the basement. When the kids in my class heard that, they started screaming in fear. I tried to keep my composure and wits about me so I could get through this alive. I looked skyward once more and that's when I saw the first of hundreds of smaller craft descending from the massive ship hovering above us. It was at that point I figured they must be hostile.

The other kids in my class had run out of the room to go to the shelter, but I was transfixed by the sight above. When I looked back in the room, I saw that everyone had gone and I was alone. I ran as quickly as I could to the shelter, but it was already locked, and I couldn't enter!

Suddenly I became afraid. I searched frantically around the basement of the school to find a hiding place, and just then, I heard a loud rumbling noise coming from outside the building. I figured it must be one of the landing craft touching down. I looked around but found nowhere to hide. I was panicking now. I looked in the janitor's desk and found a flashlight. I grabbed it just in case, and kept looking for a way to stay out of sight. That's when I saw the old furnace the school had once used for heat.

It was a huge old cast iron wood-burner with a thick iron door on the front of it. I started hearing sounds coming from the school above. At that point, the decision had been made for me. I opened the thick door to the furnace and climbed inside, shutting the door behind me, but not latching it. That's when I heard the noises growing very close, as if they were now in the room with me.

I heard a strange sound that I could only figure was the aliens talking or something. I peeked carefully through the small slit in the door and gazed out at them. I thought to myself, Oh my god, they're hideous! They resembled a cross between a reptile and an insect. They looked like nothing I would ever imagine an alien to look like. They actually reminded me of humanoid lizards, kind of like a cross between evolved dinosaurs and oversized insects.

I watched as the creatures laid waste to the thick door of the bomb shelter and entered, to the shocked screams of my classmates, friends, and teachers in there. Then I heard the most god-awful screams of pure terror from the people inside as these beasts maimed and killed every person inside. During the few minutes that followed, which seemed like hours to me, I sat there listening while they killed every single person I knew in that school, and I tried not to cry out lest they find me, too.

The aliens emerged from the shelter drenched with the blood of the people they had just slaughtered. I clenched my fists in pain for my friends and in anger for my hatred of these monsters, as tears raced down my cheeks. I tried my best to keep quiet, though, so I would not meet the same fate as everyone else.

The monsters had some sort of device they waved around the room. I had seen them use the same one just before they entered the bomb shelter. I could only figure they were scanning for life signs or something with it. I closed my eyes and prayed they wouldn't find me in the furnace.

They finished looking around the room and left a few minutes later. I began to breath normally again. I hid in that furnace for hours after I heard the creatures leave the building, just to be sure that they were gone.

Sometime after it had gotten dark outside, I slowly and quietly inched the heavy furnace door open. I poked my head out slowly and peeked around the room. I turned the flashlight on and scanned the area. The coast seemed clear so I crawled out of the furnace.

When my feet hit the floor, I nearly slipped and fell. The floor was soaked but I didn't know from what until I aimed the light down. The floor had turned a sick crimson red mess from the blood of all the people those things had murdered earlier in the day. A flood of emotions swept over me as I slowly shined the light toward the bomb shelter door. I could see it was totally ripped away from the wall as I peeked around it.

What I saw, I was never able to describe adequately. It was worse than my worst nightmares. Bodies and parts of people I knew and cared for were maimed and dismembered, and lying all over the room. I felt several emotions all at once but I couldn't sort them out. I turned and threw up from the grizzly scene before me. Once I regained my composure, I decided to get out of there so I wouldn't be found, and die, too.

I crept slowly, and as quietly as I could, to the stairs leading out of the basement. I turned the light off and began to climb them. Reaching the top, I could see that all the lights in the school were still on. I opened the door to the janitor's closet and stepped in. There I found another flashlight, and an old paper cutter that I could use as a weapon. I grabbed them and then started for the exit of the building.

Just about half way out, the power to the building was cut and the lights went out. I quickly ducked down low, and crouched by a wall. Looking out the window, I could see that the whole area had lost its power. I flipped on one of the flashlights and made my way out of the building, keeping low.

Once I got to the front door, I peered around outside and made sure nothing was there. Then I ran as fast as I could to the woods just to the north of the school, about a hundred feet away.

I found a spot, sat, and rested for a while, taking in what had happened today. Tears dripped from my eyes and fell on my hands where they rested on my legs. That's when I realized I was covered head to toe in black soot from being inside the old furnace. It occurred to me that I had the perfect camouflage for wandering around in the night; I was as pitch black as it was.

Slowly I made my way towards my home, which was nearly 10 blocks from the school, and on the other side of the woods. Here and there, I saw that some areas still had electricity. I tried desperately not to make too much noise as I trudged through the trees. When I got closer to home, I noticed a glow in the sky in the direction of my neighborhood. It wasn't coming from the sky, but rather it was an orange glow coming from the ground. I increased my pace when I saw that.

Minutes later, I was at the very edge of the woods looking out at the burning wasteland that used to be the neighborhood where my home was. The aliens had destroyed all the houses that used to stand there and some were burning still. I had nowhere to go and I didn't know what to do. I was alone, hungry, scared to death, and for the most part, on the run. I did the only thing I could think of then; I headed deeper into the woods and up towards the hills nearby. I figured there would at least be cover for me to hide there.

What seemed like hours later, and now with a flashlight going dead, I found a small hollowed out spot near the base of a tree in which to hide. I crawled inside and sat down; wondering if this really was the end of the world.

Sleep had taken me suddenly, it seemed, since the next thing I knew it was morning, and I had awakened to the smell of smoke in the air from the smoldering buildings down the hill. The sun was peeking through the clouds, and that's how I saw how filthy I really was, and then I realized how hungry I felt.

I decided to wander back down to town to see if I could find any signs of life. When I got to where my house used to be, only burnt smoldering ruins remained, the same as every other house for blocks around. Everything I'd ever had was gone, including my family. My tears seemed to flow continuously.

Wandering aimlessly for hours, I looked for anything to eat or any people that might have survived. I found nothing. I thought if anyone could help, it would be the police so I made my way to the police station. There was no one there, not even prisoners. The cell doors had been ripped off their hinges and blood was everywhere, but the oddest thing was there were no bodies to be found. I guess they had taken these people with them for some reason.

I walked around in the building for a while, 'til I saw a gun rack with shotguns on it. I grabbed one and, finding the ammunition under the guns, loaded it full up. I had never shot a gun before, but if I had to, I would kill one of those things. I looked around some more and found a backpack by one of the desks in the room. I grabbed it and filled it with all the shotgun shells in the rack. I also grabbed a pistol I found lying on the floor and tossed it in as well.

Checking further, I hit the jackpot; I had found a refrigerator in the break room. Inside were several uneaten lunches and drinks that the people working there had brought with them. I grabbed a sandwich and tore into it. I ate it half way through before I realized it was egg salad, and I hated egg salad, but I was so hungry I didn't care. I took all the food and put it into the backpack along with the ammo. I decided to make my way back to the school to see if anyone else had escaped the hell unleashed there the day before.

I walked through the building with the shotgun at the ready. There was no sign of life there so I decided to check back downstairs in the shelter on the remote possibility someone had survived. Unlike at the Police Station, the electricity was still out here, so on the way down there, I flipped on my other flashlight and scanned around. The floor was still bloody but all the people who had been in the shelter were gone. Where in the hell did they all go? There must have been 400 people in there! I thought to myself. I left the basement then, to look around some more. I crept around the semi-dark building from room to room searching for anything useful or any sign of life.

I had checked three-fourths of the school and was about to leave the cafeteria, when I heard what I thought was a noise coming from the kitchen. I raced over there and readied myself outside the doorway. Steeling myself with the gun pointing straight ahead, I entered the room. I swept from side to side with the gun and light and saw nothing, but I could hear a tapping sound. It sounded like it was coming from the walk-in food cooler. I cocked the gun and readied it, as I reached for the door handle. I yanked the door open, pointing the gun inside, as I yelled out in a fury!

That's when I heard a weak voice say, "No, No, please don't eat me! Please don't kill me!" I had found another survivor!

I lowered the gun and pointed the light down at the person and I saw a boy around 10 or 11 years old laying on the floor in a defensive posture, hoping I wasn't going to hurt him. He was a smaller boy with short dark blonde hair and blue eyes, with tear-streaked cheeks. I lowered the light and spoke to him.

"I'm not gonna eat you; I'm not that hungry." The boy sighed as if he was going to pass out, and collapsed backwards.

I rushed to grab him, saying, "Hey, hey, stay with me. You're the only one I've found so far," as I gently patted him on his cheeks. Then he opened his beautiful blue eyes and wept.

"I thought you were one of those monsters trying to eat me," he said, as he held my arm. "I heard you scream and growl at me and you looked all black and wild so I thought you was one of them," he cried. I couldn't help it; I wrapped my free arm around him and hugged him to me. He felt very cold.

"No bud, I'm human; I'm not gonna hurt you," I told him, and now I was crying, too. "What's your name? I'm Derrik."

"I'm Chris," the boy answered.

"Why didn't you run after those things left, Chris?" I asked.

"Because I got locked in here; there's no way to open the door from the inside. I nearly froze in here," he replied. "I was afraid I was going to if the electricity came back on."

"Well, come on, the coast is clear now. Let's get you warmed up and get out of here," I told him.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but there seems to be no one left around here. I think we should go up into the hills and hide out for now, maybe in one of those old mines up there," I told him. He was still in shock from what had happened, and followed me without another question.

"Chris, we need to gather some supplies before we go. We need to find you a big backpack to fill up with stuff," I told him, and we started searching the lockers. In no time, we found a good-sized pack and headed back to the cooler.

"Ok, load up anything that's wrapped up good and will last for a while and put it in the pack. I'm gonna look around the kitchen for things we can use," I ordered. I looked around and grabbed a few knives and some matches so we could start a fire. I also grabbed a first aid kit off the wall just in case we needed it. I returned to Chris who was finishing his loading of the backpack.

"Here, put this stuff in, too," I said, handing him what I'd collected.

Once the packs were full, we strapped them on our backs and left for safety… we hoped. A little while after we left the school, trekking through the woods, we came across a small pond with a stream feeding through it.

"Oh, yeah, just what I need right now," I said, wanting to wash off the black soot that covered my body. I stripped all my clothes off and stood naked in front of Chris, not thinking or caring about modesty, and jumped into the cool water.

I surfaced and noticed Chris was looking at me wide-eyed and open-mouthed as if he couldn't believe what he'd just seen.

"Come on, dude, jump in; the water's great! I need to wash this soot off of me," I told him. Hesitant at first, he slowly took his shirt and shoes off, but hesitated when it came time for his shorts.

"Come on, you're almost there," I told him. He slowly unbuttoned his shorts but hesitated to unzip them. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"My thing is hard," he answered.

That sent a flush through me that concentrated in my dick, making me instantly hard, too. I walked toward him just 'til I was out of the water from my knees up.

"So what, mine is too, see?" I said, showing him my rigid, cut, four-inch [10 cm] pecker.

Feeling less self-conscious now, he unzipped and dropped his shorts to the ground and his briefs soon followed. Sure enough, he had a hard cock looking to be about 3½ inches [almost 9 cm] long. I smiled at him and waved him in with me. He half smiled, then walked up to the water. I jumped back in and splashed him. Then he jumped in, too.

"Hey Chris, can you get the soot off my back, please?" I asked him.

Without replying, he began rubbing my back and neck. In the midst of all this tragedy, I couldn't believe how good his touch felt to me. He gently rubbed my back and neck, cleansing me free of the blackness. We played around, splashing in the pond for a little while longer, and then decided to move on to a safe place before night hit.

We walked out of the water together, both still with our cocks pointing the way from being hard. I couldn't help but stare at his smooth hairless little tool and imagine rubbing it.

It seemed he had some interest in my hairless body, too. We couldn't keep our eyes off each other until after we were dressed. I thought he had a beautiful small frame as I stood and looked him over; just under five foot [about 1½ m] tall, and maybe 90 pounds [not quite 41 kilos] at the most. Beautiful bright blue eyes and a head of blonde hair in a crew cut, and he had the cutest smile, too. Soon we were dressed and ready to go again.

"Thanks Chris, I needed that," I told him.

I could have sworn I heard him mumble under his breath, "I did, too." I didn't know what he meant but we trekked on.

Chapter 2
We Find a Refuge

We walked for a while longer until we came to an area in the woods where some old mineshafts were. We found one entrance that was covered up with old rotted boards. We pried the rotted wood away from its framing enough so we could get inside. Once there, I flipped on a flashlight and scanned around the dark cavern.

"Wow, that looks spooky," said Chris.

We walked on into the mine, exploring, until we came across a room carved out of the side of the rock which had an old metal door separating it from the main tunnel.

"It looks like an old storage room, or something," I said, as we entered. "I think we can make some kind of shelter out of this, that is if you're with me on this," I told Chris.

He nodded yes, so we started making plans for how we could make a shelter out of the cave. We had decided that, for now, we would hang out near the outside of the entrance since we only had the one light left. Tomorrow we would make our way back to town and see if the hardware store was still standing. We were going to need supplies to make this place livable.

We emerged back outside the entrance, and into the blinding late afternoon sunlight, and immediately noticed the temperature difference from being in the cave. It was much cooler underground. Chris set his pack on the ground against a tree and then sat down and leaned against it.

"Man, I'm super tired. All the walking wore me out," I said to Chris, who seemed to be staring into space as I tried to talk to him. "Chris! Are you ok?" I asked.

He snapped out of his trance a minute later and looked up at me and his eyes welled up. I sat next to him and asked what was wrong.

"Everyone I know is gone. My mom, my dad, my little brother, everyone!" he said, as he started to bawl. I sat down next to him and draped my arm around his shoulder.

"I know man, I lost everyone I knew, too," I said, and then I started crying a bit, too. Swinging around and sitting in my lap, Chris threw his arms around me and hugged me tight as he sat and cried heavily. I hugged the smaller boy back and felt my own sorrows flooding over me, too.

As we sat holding each other, I noticed that my dick was growing from the contact with Chris. I didn't mean for it to happen, but I was definitely boning up. Some minutes later, Chris was still hugging me, and still sitting in my lap, but sobbing a little less now.

"I promise I'm not gonna let those things get you," I whispered in his ear.

Our catharsis over, I saw it was starting to get late and we needed to get an early start in the morning.

"Come on, let's eat something and get some sleep; we got a big day tomorrow," I said, as I began to dig through the packs for some food.

We both ate a few sandwiches and gulped down a few sodas. I think we startled a couple of squirrels with our belches, but we were feeling a little better now.

Once darkness started to set in, we arranged ourselves to try to get some sleep. That first night, we didn't make a fire for fear that the aliens would see it and find us. I made a makeshift pillow out of my backpack, lay down, and got comfy.

Just as I was starting to drift off to sleep, I felt a nudge against my stomach that woke me. I opened my eyes to see Chris scooting up against me in the pale moonlight. I draped my arm over his side and pulled his back against my chest and he sighed in exhaustion. I figured we could keep warmer this way, and I liked feeling him against me. We soon drifted off to sleep; him first, as I dozed off to the sound of his light breathing.

Sometime during the night as we slept, the heavens opened up on us with a crack of thunder and a sudden downpour, in typical Midwest style. We woke as soon as we felt the drops, but by then it was too late; we were both dripping wet from the storm.

"Come on, let's get inside the mine; at least it's dry in there," I yelled to him, over the din of the storm.

We grabbed our packs and ran inside as fast as we could. By the time we got inside the room, we were drenched. Our clothes were completely soaked. I looked at Chris and noticed he was shivering.

"Hey, we'd better get these wet clothes off before we get sick," I told him.

I began stripping off my clothes off right away, and again, like at the pond, he hesitated. He slowly removed his shirt and shorts, but when he got to his undies, he stopped. By now, I was naked and wringing the water out of my wet clothes. I looked at him and noticed his cock was sticking straight out again.

"Come on, dude, better get those off; they're soaking wet, too. We don't need you getting sick," I told him, but still he hesitated. "Look, Chris, it's cool. I'm not gonna make fun of you cuz you're hard, ok? Hell, mine gets hard all the time, too. I mean, look," I said, pointing to my now-inflating dick.

He looked down at my stiffening cock and I noticed his seemed to stiffen more and twitch a bit. Still he wouldn't take the briefs off so I acted on my own. I stepped over to him, grabbed his undies by the sides, and pulled them down to his ankles. He made no effort to stop me whatsoever.

Once I had them down to his ankles, I looked up to see his small hard dick staring me right in the face. It took all I had at that moment not to just engulf it with my mouth. Instead, I looked up at his face and smiled.

"Nice cock you got there," I told him with a wink.

He smiled down at me, as he stepped out of his wet undies. I took them and wrung the water out of them.

Then I sat down and leaned my cold naked body against my backpack and tried to go back to sleep. Where I was, near the door, I could just barely see where the dim moonlight shown by the mine entrance. I guessed the cloudburst had passed on by.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt warmth against me. I opened my eyes to see Chris once again snuggling up against me. If my dick wasn't hard before it sure was now. Feeling his tender skin against mine was like electricity to me and it shot straight to my hard penis, causing it to twitch a little.

"I heard this is the best way to keep warm," Chris said, smiling up at me. I was thinking of a totally different way to warm him up, even more than what we were doing now. As hard as I was and as much as I wanted to have fun with him, I was just too tired. I decided for now just to close my eyes and try to get some sleep. The night seemed to go by in a flash and before I knew it, my watch started to beep from the alarm I had set the night before for 7 o'clock.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the room was still dark, as if it was still the dead of night, but then I remembered where I was. I groped around my side, feeling on the ground for the flashlight. I ended up finding it lying to the far side of me, on the other side of Chris. I reached over the smaller boy and grabbed the light. Shining it around the room, I made sure we were alone and ok before I proceeded to wake Chris up.

I shined the light on him and then shook him slightly. As I shook him, he slowly stirred awake and that's when I noticed his morning hard-on pointing up toward his slender belly. My own cock was stiff from the need for a morning piss, but once I saw his, it sprang to full mast and started to throb with my heartbeat. Right then, I wanted so badly to just wrap his smaller shaft in my hand and give him the best feeling he'd had in days.

Chris opened his eyes and greeted me. "Hi. What time is it?" he asked in the dark room.

"Well, my watch says it's 7:00 a.m., but I know it sure looks like it's still night in here. Let's get dressed and get a move on; we got a lot to do today," I told him. He stretched his small body out making his little hard cock stick out even more. He noticed I was looking at it and smiled.

That's when he glanced down at mine and started giggling. I just smiled back at him, and then got up to fetch our still-damp clothes. I tossed his to him and he started to slide his damp underwear back on. When he got them to his groin, he let out a shriek. I asked what was wrong.

"Nothing, just a cold chill; these things are a little nippy on the balls," he answered. As I pulled my boxers back on, I totally agreed with him. When they hit my balls, it took my breath away.

Soon we were dressed and ready to get the day started. We grabbed our backpacks and headed for the mine entrance. As we grew closer to it, the sunlight coming into the cave caused our eyes to squint almost shut since we were used to being in the pitch-black for so long. After a few minutes, our eyes had adjusted to the light and then we were off on our way back to town for supplies. We would definitely have to find some more clothes to wear.

About an hour had passed and we were getting close to the outskirts of town. Just then, we heard a low-pitched, ground-shaking noise coming from up ahead of us.

"What's that?" Chris asked, getting scared.

"I don't know. Let's keep out of sight until we know what it is," I told him.

We decided to get off the footpath and walk deeper into the thickets and bushes for camouflage. We walked on through the trees at a much slower pace, trying our best to keep quiet and not move too many of the trees around as we walked. Another half hour passed before we came in sight of the edge of the woods.

We crouched down and stopped when we saw the source of the noise we'd heard earlier. Not far enough away was one of the smaller ships that the aliens had used to make their landing on the day of the invasion. There were many of the monsters standing around the ship, some with the same kind of device I saw them using when I was hiding in the furnace at school. They seemed to be scanning the homes and buildings for something. I wasn't sure what exactly they were doing, but I assumed they were looking for signs of life.

All of a sudden, one of the monsters that had been scanning around, pointed to a house nearby, and two of them rushed into it. A moment later, they emerged with a large dog. The dog was barking and trying to bite the monsters as if his life depended on it. What the aliens did then was horrendous. They literally ripped the poor animal limb from limb. Chris started to hyper-ventilate when he saw that and freaked out a little.

"Oh my god, they killed that poor dog! They're gonna find us and kill us, too!"

Now he was sobbing. I had to grab him to me tightly and cover his mouth so the monsters wouldn't hear him.

"Chris, damn it, be quiet! If they hear us, it's all over for us. Do you wanna end up like that poor dog?" I whispered into his ear. He shook his head, no. "Ok then, be quiet, and calm down. If they hear you, we're dead," I told him. I let go of him when he had calmed down.

We watched them for a while longer, not daring to move from the spot where we were. We were too afraid any movement we made might attract their attention. After a while, they all filed into their spacecraft and it ascended back into the sky, shooting away at a high rate of speed.

"Thank god, they're gone now. Let's get what we need and get back up to the mine," I said, as we stood up.

We walked cautiously towards the hardware store keeping our guard up for anything. As we walked, we came across a woodpile in a yard with an axe lying against a stump. I grabbed it and took it with us for some extra protection.

Our first stop was the hardware store. "Chris, I was just thinking; we're going to need some way to get this stuff back to the mine. Our packs are sorta full already, and we can't carry it all." That's when he had a surprisingly good idea.

"Why don't we just take a car or something? I mean, it's not like anyone's gonna be around to miss it," he pointed out.

"Good idea, but a car is way too big, for one thing, to get up the path and trails, plus, I don't know how to drive," I told him. "We'll look around for a big wagon or cart or something that we can use," I suggested. Soon after, we arrived at the hardware store.

"Ok Chris, let's get a few lanterns and fuel for them; the flashlights aren't going to last forever and we need lights in the mine. We'll also need batteries, and any flashlights we can find, too. Grab any kind of camping gear you think might be useful," I told him.

We both tore through the place, gathering supplies. I found a lantern and gas, and he found some fishing poles and tackle.

"Good idea, we might need to catch some fish for food sometime," I told him.

Before long, we had a pile of gear we would probably need lying near the front door of the building.

"Damn, there's no way we can carry all of this," Chris said, concerned.

We had a tarp, rope, raincoats, and all sorts of other gear for the outdoors.

"Ok, let's just leave it all here for now, and let's go and see if we can find some clothes and food before we lug this stuff up to the mine. I think food and clothing have priority right now," I said.

He agreed and so we set out to see if the local grocery store was still there.

We walked the few blocks to the store and saw that it seemed to have taken only a secondary hit from the aliens; the front part of the building was demolished, but most of it still stood. Slowly and cautiously, we walked inside, with the axe I'd found ready to strike, if need be.

"Let's check the place out first before we start grabbing stuff. There might be someone or something here," I suggested.

We both walked to the back of the building and checked things out. We approached the freezer of the building and I reached out for the handle.

"Wait, let me open it," Chris said, "that way, if there's something in there, you can swing the axe at it," For being a young boy he sure seemed to have good sense.

Chris grabbed the handle while I held the axe at the ready, and on the count of three, he flung the door open.

"OH, GOD, KILL IT!" Chris screamed in sheer terror, as there was a monster in the cooler.

I swung with all my might and buried the wedge of the axe in the middle of the creature's head. It fell towards us and hit the floor with a thud. Chris ran to hide behind me, as he was scared out of his wits and shaking violently. I kicked the creature as hard as I could and it was like kicking a brick wall.

"Ow, fuck, that hurt!" I said loudly. I grabbed the axe handle and withdrew it from the alien. Then I gave it one more, good whack on the side of the head. It seemed like it was already dead.

"Ok, Chris, calm down, I think it was already dead. The mother fucker is frozen solid," I said.

We stood there for a few minutes and studied the monster. It was truly hideous in appearance. It had skin like a reptile, but its head seemed to have the features of an insect, with what looked like short but very sharp mandibles, and multi-faceted eyes, on a two-legged, two-armed framework. It was truly monstrous. Even science fiction movies hadn't come up with the idea of an armored, bipedal carnivorous insectoid slightly larger than an average human. What a nightmare!

As we stood there, I draped an arm across Chris's shoulders because he was still trembling, and then we finished checking the place out.

"Ok, bud, I think the place is clear now. The thing must have gotten locked in the freezer and froze to death. At least we know now that they can be killed," I said.

We grabbed a cart and started gathering food. Chris was getting things like bread and meat. "No, no, Chris, we need things that won't go bad. Grab stuff in cans and jars. That stuff you're grabbing will just spoil. Who knows how long we'll need to keep this stuff," I told him.

Realizing I was right, he emptied the cart back out and started grabbing cans and jars of food. Once we had the cart full, we left it next to the front door and went in search of clothes, and a way to get our gatherings back to our hideout.

There was, of all things, a Walmart nearby so we decided to check it out. It wasn't a large one, but rather a very small one, compared to the super-centers. It only had clothes and some sports essentials in it. Again, we gathered any clothes that would fit us and carried them to the front door. On our last trip to back into the store, we went to the sporting goods department.

"We need some way to defend ourselves. I'm going to grab a bow and arrows and some hunting knives. You grab some sleeping bags and gear like that," I said.

As Chris went for the bedding, I snuck over to the gun display. I went under the counter and grabbed all the guns that were there; a 12-gauge shotgun, a 20-gauge shotgun, and two .22 caliber rifles. There was also ammo for all of them there, as well. I didn't really like the idea of having a gun near me, but the need for them outweighed my discomfort. Just as I was about to walk away from the counter, something else caught my eye.

"I'll be damned; this might come in handy," I said aloud, as I reached down and picked up a night-vision hunting scope. Just then, Chris came back pushing a cart with sleeping bags and blankets in it. His eyes got large when he saw all of the weapons sitting on the counter.

"What's all that for?" he asked.

"Protection, hunting for food, and just in case we need them," I answered. I piled the weapons in the cart and once more, we headed for the door. "Chris, as much as I don't want to admit it, I think we're actually going to need a truck to move all of this stuff to the mines. It would take us days to carry it all," I said, now getting worried.

"Well, I don't know what to do. What do you think we should do?" he asked me.

"Well, let's just grab a few things from each place for now, and we'll have to come back for the rest," I told him, not really knowing what else to do. We left the small Walmart and headed back to the grocery store.

On our way back, something in a driveway caught my eye.

"Son-of-a-bitch! Look over there!" I told Chris.

He looked over and saw the large ATV in the driveway. We ran over to it, but to our dismay, there were no keys.

"Now what?" he asked.

"Easy; we go inside the house and look for them."

We entered easily since the door was already open. I searched for the keys while Chris went to the kitchen.

"YES!" I heard him yell.

I ran to see what he was yelling about, and there he was at the fridge, guzzling down an ice-cold Pepsi. I ran over to see what else was there. Chris had already grabbed another Pepsi and was holding it in front of me before I got to him. I grabbed it and downed it in three big gulps. I guess all of the walking today had gotten me thirsty. Inside the fridge, there were all kinds of wrapped up food from leftovers. We grabbed what was left of a cold pizza, and destroyed it in no time.

Just as I was swallowing my last bite of pizza crust, I looked over at the wall and saw the key to the ATV hanging on a peg. I jumped up and grabbed the key, then ran out to the ATV. I cranked it a few times before it came to life.

"YES!" I cheered to myself, and Chris came running when he heard the engine start up. He climbed into the seat next to me and we set out for the hardware store.

"Why are we going there first?" Chris asked.

"Because I saw a big cart there that we can hook up to, and pull behind, this ATV, and that way we can load up everything we got today and take it all back to the mine in one trip," I explained triumphantly.

While I was hooking up the cart to the ATV, Chris loaded the gear from inside that we had gathered earlier. By the time I was done attaching the trailer to the ATV, he had our gear loaded. The next stop was the grocery store where we had food ready to be loaded. In no time, we had it stowed and we were ready to go on to the Walmart.

"Hey wait, there's a couple things we forgot to grab that we need," Chris explained. I sat in the ATV and waited on him, and a few minutes later, he re-emerged.

"What the hell did we forget?" I asked.

"Well, toilet paper, for one thing. I'm not wiping my ass on a leaf; and soap, we need something to wash off with, and some bottled water, just in case, and a first-aid kit. Oh yeah, and we gotta have some Oreo cookies," he said, laughing.

He tossed the stuff in the cart and we left for Walmart. By the time we had everything from the town loaded up, it was almost 6:00 p.m.

"Come on, we need to get this stuff back to the mine before the sun goes down; I don't want to try and drive this thing after dark," I said.

It took us nearly an hour and a half to get back to the mine entrance. We would have been back sooner if we hadn't had to make a detour around a hill leading to the mine.

"Ok, let's get this stuff unloaded. Once we get it all emptied out, then we can take it on into the storeroom. Afterward, we can back the ATV and cart inside the mine entrance so no one will see it from the outside," I told Chris.

We got our supplies unloaded, and I grabbed one of the lanterns and filled it up with fuel. In no time, I had it lit and we started hauling our gear to the storeroom. I left the lantern there after our first trip since we could see our way to the storeroom door but not inside without the lantern.

Nearly an hour passed and we had moved all the gear and supplies inside, and the ATV was now just inside the mine entrance. We replaced the boards that we'd had to remove from the entrance in order to clear the ATV. Soon it would be dark, and I felt sure the monsters would notice their friend, down in the grocery store, was missing and that they will be looking for it. Once they see the axe wound in its head, they're going to know someone is still alive, so they're going to be on the hunt. All Chris and I could do was hope they don't find us here. If they did, we could at least defend ourselves now.

"Holy shit, I'm tired! Let's get all this stuff organized and situated," I told Chris.

"Yeah, I'm beat, too. I never walked so much in my life. How do you want to do our sleeping bags?" Chris asked.

I didn't know exactly what he was asking me. "What do you mean, 'how do I want to do them'?"

"Well, do you want me to make two separate sleeping places, or one big one for both of us?" he asked with a shy look on his cute face.

"Well, considering we've already slept together naked, I guess make us one place," I told him, smiling. "It'll be warmer that way."

He made a thick base layer with an opened sleeping bag and blankets, and then laid out a sleeping bag on top of that with another one on top of it, that so we could sleep in between them. We froze last night, but we will be comfy from now on. In no time, he had our bed ready, just as night set in on us.

I slowly shut the thick steel door to the storage room and latched it from the inside so that the light from the lantern wouldn't be seen from outside the mine.

"Where's the soap and water?" I asked, "I need to wash the sweat off before I go to bed," I told him. He pointed to the corner of the room.

I grabbed the gallon of water and a new rag from Walmart and soaked it, then lathered it up with soap. Before washing myself, I stripped off all of the clothes I'd worn the last few days and then began scrubbing. I noticed Chris watching me with great interest.

"Hey, would you wash my back for me?" I asked him.

When he stood up to walk over to me, I noticed he was tenting his shorts. When he got to me, I said, "Why don't you go ahead and undress, and then I can wash your back for you, too. I'm sure you need cleaned off, as well."

He stripped naked, and sure enough, he was rock hard. I looked down at it, then at his face, and smiled. He looked at mine and saw I was hard too, and smiled. He took the rag from me and washed my back for me. I loved the contact of his hand on my back and neck. Once I was clean, he gave the rag back. I re-soaped it and handed it to him, but he gave it back.

"Will you do it for me?" he asked with a coy smile.

I took the rag and began to wash his small body for him. I washed his chest and neck, which he seemed to like a lot. Then I turned him around and washed his back. I slowly moved the rag lower and lower, 'til it was on his tight firm ass-cheeks. He didn't make any effort to protest so I kept washing, to my enjoyment, and apparently to his also. I let my hand with the rag wander around to his front. He turned around to face me, and grabbing my hand, brought the wet rag down to his stiff rod. I proceeded to wash him as he closed his eyes and enjoyed it all. I couldn't help but look down at his beautiful body; he was a full head shorter than I was. As I was washing his cock off for him, and enjoying it, a vision suddenly popped into my head that stopped me dead in my tracks. I pulled my hand away from him and his eyes popped open.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, sorry, it's just that I suddenly had a vision of those damned things and what they did today, pop into my head," I told him. He seemed to understand completely why I had stopped pleasuring him.

"Yeah, I guess that would make you stop," he said softly.

"Well, let's dry off and climb into our new bed. I'm ready to get some sleep," I said, yawning. I lay down on my back and turned a flashlight on. "Turn the lantern off before you lie down," I told him.

Soon the room was barely lit by the flashlight, as he lay down next to me. I pulled the sleeping bag up over us and flipped the light off. The next thing I felt was Chris snuggling up to me again, and like before, I wrapped an arm around him and he draped his over my chest. I could still feel his hardness pressing against my side as I held him.

"Good night, little buddy," I said to him.

"Good night," he said. Next thing I felt was his fingertips lying next to the base of my hairless cock.

I fell asleep that night rather easily. I was lying in a soft bed, with a smile on my face, and a very cute, naked 11-year-old next to me with his fingers next to my hard cock. At least for now, I felt good. Tomorrow could be a very different day.

Chapter 3
Derrik and Chris Together

Several days went by much the same as the first few had, with us hanging around our hideout and surviving on the food that we had scavenged from town. Soon, we would have to make another trip back to town for food. We had to eat, and there wasn't any reason to let the food in the grocery store just spoil. We knew at some point we might have to start trapping food, but that time wasn't yet.

"Hey Chris, how about we make a trip down to the store to restock our food supply?" I suggested. Chris was in full agreement and even had a good idea.

"Sure, but why don't we bring a big cooler back with us this time. We can keep stuff cold that way. And we can have meat and stuff then, too," he said.

Damn good idea, I thought. We decided to leave around noon so we could get the trip over with before nightfall. We hadn't heard any sounds from the aliens in a few days so we figured it was safe for now, but for safety's sake, we both took a gun with us, just in case.

When we got to the town limits, we decided to check around some more for any signs of life. We checked a few houses on the way to the grocery store, being as cautious as possible. We proceeded into each house with guns at the ready. In the end, we checked out four houses from top to bottom and found nothing; no life at all, not even the fish remained in a still-running aquarium we found.

We proceeded on to the store for our provisions. As soon as we had entered the store, we were overcome by a stench of something that could only be described as dead and rotting.

"Oh, my, god! What in the hell is that smell?" Chris asked, pinching his nose shut.

"I got a good idea but I'm not positive yet," I told him. I went on towards the back of the building with Chris following close, carrying the .22 rifle. When we got to the area where the coolers were, my theory was confirmed.

"Oh, fuck! That fucking stinks!" I said, almost gagging from the smell of the rotting corpse of the alien that we had found in the cooler a several days ago; it was starting to decompose and the smell proved it.

"Fuck, we have to get it out of here. We gotta do something with it. We sure can't just leave it lying in here. We'll never be able to come back here if we don't. This place will reek bad if we don't get it out," I said, taking shallow breaths so I wouldn't puke.

It took us a few minutes to figure out how to get it out of the building. We ended up wrapping a rope around its neck and dragging it out through the back door. Surprisingly, it didn't weigh a whole lot for its size.

"Let's burn it," Chris suggested.

"No way, the smoke would be seen for miles. If any of those things are around here, they'll see it. If they see smoke, they'll know where to find us. Let's just get it up into that dumpster and we'll just close and seal the lid tight on it," I said.

Soon we had the monster in the dumpster and we shut the lid as tightly as possible to keep the smell contained.

We went back inside to gather up supplies and food to take back with us. This time we gathered two full carts of food and amenities to bring to the mine.

"Ok, let's leave it by the door like last time and we'll go to Walmart again and get a few things. We need to snatch a few big coolers," I said.

Chris seemed to be a much brighter kid than I gave him credit for; he proved this when we went to Walmart for the second time.

"Hey I got an idea. Let's go to the electronics department and grab a few PSPs [Play Station Portables] and some games for them. I mean, like you said, 'nobody's going to miss them now,'" he suggested.

I smiled and was in full agreement with his idea. It sure would pass the time a bit faster to have the games. The only obstacle was that there would be no way to charge them up back at the mine. That's when we came up with the idea of using a car battery and power inverter to make the chargers work. Then we realized that if that would work for the PSPs, why not use it for powering other things. The possibilities were endless so long as the battery held out, but for now, we just got what we originally came for, plus the games and a battery to keep us occupied.

We piled two large coolers in the back of the ATV and went back to the grocery store. We raided the bread isle, grabbing several loaves, and then we were off to the coolers. We grabbed a few packs of lunchmeat that were still chilled and packed them and the bread into the coolers, and then poured what ice was left in the freezer in as well. We packed our supplies and the coolers back on the ATV and headed back to our mine and to safety.

On our way back, we heard what could only be explosions in the far distance. We looked up to see a trail of smoke rising into the sky.

"Holy shit, do you see that?" I asked, surprised.

Chris nodded yes.

"That looks like it's coming from over near St. Louis. You think the army is fighting them or something?" Chris asked.

"I don't know. I just hope they don't piss them off, and they head back this way," I said.

We watched the smoke rise for a few minutes more 'til I realized how late it was getting.

"Shit, it's almost 6:00 o'clock. We need to get a move on," I said, knowing we were still a long way away from the mine.

We decided to take a slightly different route back to the mine each time so that we wouldn't leave a noticeable trail from town. About a half hour later, we arrived back at the mine entrance and backed the ATV inside to hide it. As I backed the vehicle into the mine, I noticed it was low on fuel.

"We'll need to fill this thing up the next time we go to town," I told Chris.

We unloaded the heavy coolers and then dragged them into our room, stowing them off to the side. We were starting to get a good base of operations going for our survival. We had food, clothes, supplies, and protection to last us for a few weeks now.

Chris and I had gotten to know each other a little better over the last few days. I found out he'd had a younger brother who was nine. He found out how I had avoided death by hiding in the furnace when the invasion happened. There were some other, minor things, that we learned, but the one thing that ate at both our minds was whether the other really liked other boys.

I had known for years now that I liked boys, I just wondered if Chris felt the same way. When he undressed, I couldn't take my eyes off him and he seemed to feel the same about me. Neither of us said it outright, but we both had an idea about the other. I loved the feel of his nude body sleeping against mine. I also loved to bathe him when we needed it. Bathing didn't amount to much so far, just using a wet rag and soap, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. For what the situation was, in all its forms, I didn't mind being with him.

I tried not to think about what had happened or what may happen yet. All I tried to think about was surviving, and living with my new 'roommate.'

While we were unpacking the supplies, Chris held up a small jingle bell and a spool of fishing line.

"Whatcha got there?" I asked.

"An alien-alarm" he answered. At that point, he had me stumped. "I'm going to stretch the fishing line outside the mine entrance down the path a bit then back into the mine and attach it to this bell. That way if something comes near here, we'll know it before they're right outside the door here," he said. He had surprised me again.

"That's a damn good idea," I told him with a smile.

While there was still light left outside, we rigged up our early-warning alien-alarm. We set it like a trip wire that was a few inches off the ground so it wouldn't be very noticeable. We then stretched it into the mine and into our room and attached the bell to it.

"Ok, burglar alarm set," Chris said with a giggle.

I checked my watch and it was nearly nightfall, it was 8:30 and I was starving. I grabbed a loaf of bread and laid out a few slices, and then grabbed the jar of peanut butter.

"No way, dude! I wanna a peanut butter sandwich, too!" Chris whined.

I made us both one and we nearly swallowed them whole, we were so hungry. After three more sandwiches each, we were full, and Chris let us know it with a huge belch.

I then decided to rig up the car battery we'd swiped and the power inverter so that we could charge up the batteries for our newly acquired video games. I figured they would be ready to go by tomorrow, so we let them charge overnight.

By the time I'd figured out how to get everything hooked up right and the batteries were charging, it was almost 10 o'clock. I decided to strip down and clean up before going to bed. I dimmed the lantern slightly so that we had just enough light to see to move in the room and I stripped my clothes off. While I was cleaning myself off with a soapy rag, Chris's eyes never left my nude body. I called him over, and he stood up and walked over to me. I set the rag down and helped him get undressed. By the time he was naked, we both had raging boners going. By now, I hadn't jerked off in many days due to our present situation, and I didn't think I could take it much longer.

Without even washing him, I took his small 3-inch [7.6 cm] boner in my hand and began to massage it. He closed his eyes and stood there, loving the attention that I was giving his dick. Soon I had a rhythm and stroke going so that I was slowly jerking him off.

"Lie down and spread your legs," I told him, as I gently stroked him.

He did as I said. I got between his legs, extended my tongue, and licked his cock from his small tightly drawn up balls to the tip of his small mushroom-shaped cock head. That sent a shiver of pleasure through his body. I then sank my mouth over his small boy-cock and began to pleasure him the way I wanted to be pleasured myself.

"Oh, god, that feels good! I always wondered what it would feel like," he moaned quietly.

As I slowly went up and down on his little shaft, I danced my tongue on the tip. He loved this and moaned every time I did it. While I sucked, I managed to work the tip of my finger into his tight rectum. There was only a bit of resistance at first, but as he loosened up, I inched my finger in a bit at a time 'til it was all the way in. Once inside him, I began slowly fucking his ass with my middle finger as I sucked him. That seemed to make him go into overdrive.

I felt his hands come to the back of my head forcing it down onto his cock every time I went down on it. A few strokes later, I felt his sphincter tighten around my finger and his whole body went tight and stiff. I knew he was having his happy moment, so I kept the rhythm going until he was done. A few seconds later, he began breathing heavily and his body went limp, then his hole released its grip on my finger. I knew he was coming back from orgasm land. I pulled off his cock, making a slurping, popping sound as it slid out.

"How'd that feel?" I asked, as I scooted up next to him.

"Oh m'gosh, I loved it! I never would've guessed it'd feel that good!" he responded, between heavy breaths.

As I lay next to him, and while he regained his composure, I was rubbing his tight little tummy. Several minutes later, he was almost back to normal and he turned his head to face me. Then he caught me completely off guard. He leaned in and kissed me tenderly on the lips.

"I loved that. We need to do it some more," he said softly.

Being a bit of a smart-ass, I asked him, "Well now, what do I get in return?"

"What do you want me to do?" he asked.

Sarcastically, speaking what was on my mind, I told him softly, "I want to fuck your brains out!"

"Ok, just don't hurt me," he said, which totally amazed me.

"Wait, you're going to let me fuck you?" I asked in anticipation.

He smiled and nodded yes. Knowing this would be my first time fucking, I couldn't wait. First, I lay down on my back and instructed him to lower himself slowly onto my rod 'til it slid into him. Since his hole was stretched out by my finger already, and my cock not being so huge, I slid into him with no problem. He was sitting on my mid-section with my cock buried in his ass 'til his small ball-sack was resting on my belly. With my hands on his hips, I slowly began guiding him up and down on my cock. The feeling was unbelievable. The tightness, the warmth of his love tunnel, I knew I would make this last as long as I could.

Without instruction, he began to speed up the pace now, riding my cock like a cowboy on a horse. The faster he slid up and down on it, the better it felt. Soon I was moaning, and knew I was close to orgasm. I wrapped my fingers around his now hard again cock and stroked it as he bounced up and down on my dick.

He was moaning more now than I was. It seemed he loved being fucked more than I liked fucking him.

"Oh gosh, I think I'm getting the feeling again," he said, as he bounced.

A second later, he moaned loudly, and I felt his hole clamp down on my cock like a vise grip. Feeling the increased tightness on my cock as he slid up and down on it, sent me over the edge.

"OH GODDDDD, YESSSS!!!!!" I moaned as I felt spasm after spasm shoot through my body as I had my first dry orgasm inside of another boy.

Just as my orgasm was ending, he collapsed onto my chest losing muscle control, as he was coming down from his orgasm, too.

We embraced, hugging and kissing in a sweaty heap, while my cock deflated in his hole. He slowly slid my cock from his ass and he sighed in a contented way as it came out.

"That felt so good," I told him in his ear.

"I know. It felt so good to have it in there. You kept rubbing this one spot that felt great. We can do this again anytime! I love it!" Chris responded, kissing me again.

We lay there like that for a while longer, just relaxing and holding each other, as we regained our strength from a first for both of us; his very first blowjob, and being fucked, and my very first time fucking someone.

We fell asleep just like that, in a sweaty, dirty, pile; I was lying on my back, with him on top of me. We slept for a while, and then I woke up a short time later to the glow of the lantern still burning. I tried to slide him off me so I could get up to turn the lantern off, but woke him in the process.

"Oops, sorry, didn't mean to wake you," I told him.

"No problem. Hey, you wanna do it again?" he asked. It seems that my little friend is a real cock whore, now.

"Sure, let me turn this thing off and we'll use the flashlights," I told him. In no time, I had the lantern extinguished and the flashlight on.

"Ok, how do you want to do it?" I asked.

"I want you to do me again, but doggy-style this time," he said with an evil smile. He surprised me by using the adult lingo, but I was happy to give him what he wanted. He got on his hands and knees and I positioned myself behind him. Slowly, with the light of a flashlight, I positioned the tip of my cock at his boy hole and began to push into him. This time I had a bit more resistance.

"Relax your hole," I told him. He relaxed a bit and the head of my dick slid into him, with a gasp of pleasure coming from him.

"You ok?" I asked.

He nodded yes, so I pushed a little more. A minute later, I was all the way in him, with our ball sacks rubbing against each other. I slowly pulled out, and then pushed back in, as he sighed and moaned in pleasure.

"That's it, unh, right there. That felt great," he moaned, as the head of my cock rubbed against his prostate.

Before long, I was banging his hole at a good pace and we were both getting into it when, all of a sudden, we he heard something that brought us both back down to earth, instantly in a cold sweat. The jingle bell alarm had started to ring.

Chapter 4
We Find Friends

The sound of the bell had brought us instantly back to reality from orgasm land.

"OH MY GOD, THEY FOUND… " Chris began to say before I covered his mouth with one hand, and put the index finger of my other hand to my lips to shush him. I slid my rapidly deflating dick out of him quickly, and ran to the door to grab the gun propped up next to it. Chris lay still in our makeshift bed, shivering, and terrified.

I switched off the flashlight we were using, turning the room black, and stood next to the door with the shotgun, ready to fire. A heart-racing second later, we heard breathing sounds outside the door to the room. I pointed the gun and took aim at the door the best I could in the dark and waited to end the life of whatever was on the other side.

At this point, we thought it was an alien trying to get in to kill us. Then I heard what sounded like sniffing coming from the bottom of the door followed by a scratching sound. What broke the silence next filled Chris and me with relief, anticipation, and disbelief. We heard a 'woof-woof' sound.

We knew then that it was a dog. A dog had evaded the hostile takeover of our area by the aliens, and had found us.

"Chris, turn on the flashlight and go open the door, but do it slowly. It sounds like a dog, but he might not be friendly," I said.

Chris fumbled around, feeling for the flashlight in the dark and then made his way to the door. I again readied the gun, just in case, as Chris opened the door. There in the light stood a solid black Labrador Retriever. At first, he stood his ground and looked at the light, and then I took the light from Chris, while he relit the lantern. Once the dog saw what we were, his tail began to wag instantly. We knew then that he was friendly.

"Call him in, Chris," I said, still holding the gun at the ready. He called the dog and it went straight to him, wagging its tail.

It appeared that we had found another survivor of the invasion, and a new pet. I re-secured the door to our safe-room, and we fed the hungry dog. Then we played with our new friend for a while. The dog must not have eaten in days since he devoured our lunchmeat.

"What should we call him?" Chris asked.

"Hmm, good question. How about Lucky, 'cus he's damn lucky he survived without the aliens finding him," I suggested.

Chris agreed it was a good name so it was decided. We lay down on our bedding as our new friend curled up at our feet on the extra blanket. Chris lay there with me, naked, as the dog and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

As for myself, I just lay there thinking, trying to get my mind to disconnect for the night, so I could go to sleep, too. I finally managed to about half an hour later.

The next morning I was awakened by our new alarm clock; Lucky was licking my face and whining. I rubbed my eyes and grabbed the flashlight to light the dark room. I checked my watch and it was only about 6 am. I re-lit our lantern, turning it up enough to light the room dimly, but not enough to wake Chris. The dog went straight to the door and started to scratch at it. I figured he needed to go out to use the bathroom. I stood up and let my piss hard-on lead the way to the door for me.

"Gotta go out boy?" I asked, making the dog whine more. I grabbed the flashlight and headed out of the mine, still naked.

By the time the dog and I made it outside of the mine entrance, I wished I had at least put on my shoes. Lucky ran right over to a tree and unloaded a stream of yellow on it. Needing to relieve my piss hard-on, I joined him. I stood there and let the urine fly as the dog sniffed around. Once my tank was empty, my hard-on began to wilt. As I stood there stretching and waking up fully, I felt the cool morning breeze flow over my nude body.

This was actually the first time I had just stood out in the open naked like this and I was enjoying it immensely. Not having to worry about being seen by anyone or being punished for it was actually kind of fun. However, as I stood there, I realized why it was better to be clothed in the environment where I was, after a pine tree poked me in the butt. Ouch. Next time it would be clothes and shoes on when outside the mine.

I called to the dog and we re-entered our sanctuary, making our way back to the safe room. Chris was still sleeping peacefully, curled up in a little ball. I pulled the blankets up over him, but in the process, woke him up.

"Morning, sleepy head," I told him.

Once Lucky saw him moving, the licking session was on. The dog licked the cute little guy all over his face, making him giggle into a fit. Once he calmed down, he raised himself from our bed and I noticed he had the same problem I'd had earlier.

"Nice. Looks like you need to go pee," I said, chuckling. He looked down and saw his rock-hard pecker sticking out in front of him. "Go ahead outside and take a leak. I went out naked with the dog. Try it," I suggested.

He smiled and walked his smooth naked ass out of the room heading for the exit. A few minutes later, he returned, walking tenderly.

"Why didn't you tell me I was gonna step on those rocks and stuff? It hurts!" he whined.

Trying to keep a straight face and not laugh, I apologized. "Sorry, I just thought you'd like being outside naked. I forgot about the rocks and stuff." He stood there on one foot while rubbing the other one, as I walked over to him. He looked up at me when I stopped right in front of him.

"What?" he asked. Instead of answering, I wrapped my arms under his waist and picked him up, carrying him to our bed.

"I think we didn't get to finish something last night," I reminded him.

"Oh, yeah, ha-ha; Lucky did kind of interrupt us, didn't he?" he said, giggling.

By the time I had laid him back down on the bed, my cock had come alive again, and his was stirring, too. I kissed him gently on the lips and slowly slid down his body, with my tongue stopping to pleasure his left nipple. I licked and sucked it for a few seconds 'til he couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh, god, suck it Derrik, please?" he moaned softly. I worked my way down to his throbbing little cock and slid it through my lips. He instantly sighed in bliss from the feelings he was getting from his little dick. I wiggled my tongue around the tip of his little head driving him wild.

"Oh yeah, that feels so good!" he moaned.

I then sank down on him 'til I had him all the way in my mouth and began sucking like there was no tomorrow. He began bucking his hips up and down forcing himself deeper into my mouth. It didn't take very long until I felt his small cock flex and twitch on my tongue and his body went rigid, as he inhaled sharply and held it. I knew he was having his orgasm and loving it.

A few seconds later, he let out the breath and his body went semi-limp as he began to breathe slowly but deeply. For good measure, I gave him one final good hard suck as I slid his cock from my mouth, which made his entire body jerk violently with one last thrill for him.

"How'd you like that?" I asked, as I slid up next to him on the bed.

"Oh, m'gosh, I loved it! I never knew getting sucked would feel as good as you make it feel," he said with a smile.

"Glad I could please," I said, grinning. "Not to ruin your moment, but I think my little friend down there needs some attention, too," I told him.

He looked at me and smiled, and then got up and sat on my belly, straddling me. He bucked back and forth on my stomach, smiling at me as he teased me. Then he slowly slid himself along my body down towards my dick, as he lifted himself up a bit. Once he was in position, he spread his cheeks and I aimed my cock for his young love tunnel.

He lowered himself slowly so that neither of us got hurt nor felt any pain. At this point, my cock was still small enough, even when it was hard, to almost slide right into him. He lowered himself onto my rod and it slid in with very little resistance. He slid all the way down 'til he was again sitting on my midsection, but this time with me inside him. Next, he positioned himself to 'ride the bronco'. He leaned forward and placed his hands on my shoulders, propping himself up. His knees were at my sides with his feet next to my thighs, in the classic jockey riding position. Riding is exactly what he started doing then. He slowly rose up on my pole then sank back down just as slowly. The feel of his tight tunnel drove me wild.

"Come on, Chris, bounce on it, ride it hard! Oh!" I moaned. He increased his pace as his tight smooth buns started to bounce up and down faster and faster. Almost before I knew it, I felt my orgasm building, but just before I was ready to pop, I felt his sphincter clamp down around my cock, as he began to tense up again, moaning loudly.

"Oh m'gosh!" he almost screamed. At that exact point, I felt the rush hit me like it had at no other time in my life.

"Oh, my, god. Oh yeah! Ride it! Oh!" I cried, as he was having his second orgasm, without even having his cock touched since the first one, at the same time as I was having mine! A second later, he literally collapsed onto my chest in a heavy-breathing heap. I still had my cock in him so I pumped it in and out a few more times to get that final little bit of pleasure. Now we were both flying high in the clouds enjoying the warmth and feel of each other. We were also a huge sweaty mess now.

Minutes went by as he just lay on me with my rapidly deflating little cock in his ass. We were both enjoying the moment when he finally lifted his head from my shoulder and, with a huge smile, kissed me deeply, that is, as deeply as an 11-year-old could.

"I never felt nuthin like that before. It felt so good!" he said softly.

"God, I know; you got off that time and I never touched your dick," I said, as I slid my now limp cock out of him.

"I know, but it just felt so good when it was in me. Whenever I went down, it hit this spot in me that just felt really great," Chris explained. We lay there just cuddling and kissing for a short time.

"Ok, you great fuck you, let's clean up and get dressed and then go explore the area for a while," I told him.

About a half hour later, we were dressed and leaving the mine to check the outside world. We brought two guns, some food, a couple of flashlights, and some other supplies we might need while we were out. I tied a makeshift leash around the dog's neck then we were off, leaving the mine for now. We decided to go further up the mountain to see if there was anything to find up there.

We walked for hours as quietly as possible, while the dog seemed to piss on every other tree that we walked past. Close to one o'clock, we came across a truly beautiful sight, one of those scenes you might see on a postcard or something. It was a small waterfall, which spilled into a small pond at the base of a cliff.

"Oh man, check it out," Chris said, awed by the beauty before us.

"Check it out is exactly what I'm going to do," I said, as I handed him the gun and the leash to the dog. I ran full speed toward the water, stripping off my clothes off as I went. By the time I got to the pond, I was butt-naked, and jumping through the air into the water.

Chris stood there holding the guns, restraining the dog, and laughing at me.

"Come on, I know you want to get naked, too," I yelled to him.

He walked over to the edge of the small pool and set his backpack and the guns on the ground. He let the dog go, and he jumped right in the water with me. We both laughed, then Chris stripped and jumped in too.

We frolicked in the pool, that was about four feet [about 1¼ m] deep, long enough to relieve us from the midday sun. As we played, I thought I heard something off in the distance.

"Chris, be quiet for a minute; stop splashing," I ordered. We stood there in the cool water, and then I heard the noise again. "Oh, shit, you hear that? It's one of their ships. We need to find a place to hide; NOW!" I said, frightened out of my skin.

We got out of the water as fast as possible and grabbed our clothes and supplies, then grabbed the dog's leash and searched for cover. Only problem was, there wasn't any close enough.

"What are we gonna do?" Chris started to cry.

"Quick, let's try behind the waterfall," I said, as we raced towards the cliff face. Behind the falls, we found a small ledge that led back into the side of the hill.

"Look, a cave. Get inside," I told him.

We entered and squatted down inside as we heard the ship getting closer and closer. Before long, it sounded like it was right over us. It was so loud, it shook the ground and made our ears hurt. We peeked through the falls to see what looked like a bright blue light sweeping over the whole area. We sat there, holding our ears, as the sound of the ship vibrated our naked bodies and the light swept all over the area outside. The dog was surprisingly quiet and still during this whole time. A few minutes went by and then the ship moved on, leaving the area, as the sound dissipated.

"Shit, that was a close one. They almost found us," Chris said, almost whimpering. Lucky was pawing at his ears as if the sound had hurt him, too, and then gave his head a few shakes.

"Yeah, there's gotta be something about the rocks or caves around here that they can't scan through. I mean, when I was in the basement at school, they found everyone in the bomb shelter, but they didn't see me in the furnace," I said.

We stayed in the cave for a little while as the waterfall roared nearby; making absolutely certain that the aliens had left the area. We got dressed and had lunch in the cave. We found out that Lucky loved cookies, since Chris kept feeding them to him.

Nearly an hour later, we decided to chance leaving the cave, I would go out first with the shotgun, and then call to Chris to come out, if it looked safe. I exited the cave and held the gun at the ready, sweeping it all around while looking for any trouble. Once I was satisfied, I called to my young friend.

"Ok, Chris, come on out, it's cool," I said, reassuringly.

We decided to get out of the open and into some cover to decrease the chance that we might be seen, so we left the falls and headed into the trees. We made sure to keep the sun on our left so we didn't get lost in the woods. That way, we could find our way back to the mine. We trudged through the brush and trees for a few more hours before deciding to turn back.

Just as we were about to make a u-turn, the dog went goofy on us. He nearly pulled me down as he pulled on his leash with all his strength.

"Damn it, Lucky; where the hell are you going?" I said, getting mad.

The dog pulled me further, sniffing at the ground and seeming hell-bent on getting to whatever he could smell.

"Chris, get your gun ready. I don't know what the fuck he's dragging us to," I said.

The dog pulled for about another fifty feet, and then stopped, sniffing around a large hole in the ground.

"Crazy fucking dog; there must be a dead animal down there or something. Come on Lucky, let's go!" I said, getting angry. We had walked about three steps away when I thought I heard a sound coming out of the hole.

"Wait; Chris, hand me a flashlight." I took the light and headed back to the hole.

"Is someone down there?" I called out.

Then I heard it again; a very faint, "Help me," came up from the hole.

"Holy shit, someone's down there!" Chris said in excitement.

"Hello? Can you hear me? If you can, I'm coming down," I yelled into the hole.

I took the rope from my pack and tied it to a tree close to the hole.

"Okay Chris, I'm going down there. Keep your eyes and ears open, and keep a tight grip on Lucky," I said, before entering the hole in the ground.

I slid down the rope slowly so as not to burn my hands on it. As I neared the bottom, I shone the light down to see where I was going. That's when I saw a boy around 12 years old lying on the ground. I slid the rest of the way down until I was standing over him.

"Can you hear me? Are you ok?" I asked.

"Please get me out of here. I can hardly move. I fell down here when those things were chasing me," the boy said softly.

"Holy shit; man, that must've been days ago now. You haven't eaten or anything?" I asked.

"No," he said slowly.

"Do you hurt anywhere?" I asked.

"My ankle hurts real bad," he said, not having much strength.

I shined the light down at his leg and I saw that it was swollen severely, and very red above his foot.

"Dude, I think you might have a sprained or broken ankle. What's your name?" I asked.

"Josiah," he squeaked out softly.

"Ok, Joe, we're going to get you out of here," I said.

Then I turned and yelled up the nearly 60 feet [about 18 m] or so, to Chris on the surface, "Chris, there's a boy down here and he's hurt. Tie the other rope to the tree and throw it down to me. I'll tie it around him, and then I'm gonna climb up there, and we're gonna have to pull him out." A minute later, the other rope fell next to me.

"Ok, Joe, I'm gonna tie this rope around your chest, under your arms. Then I'm gonna climb out, and me and Chris are gonna pull you out of here. You'll only have to help a little to get you out. It might hurt, but you have to hang in there," I told him, before I prepared to climb out.

Joe nodded to let me know he understood. I could see the pain in his face.

I started my ascent out of the hole so we could extract the injured boy from its depths. It took me a few minutes, but with Chris's help, I managed to climb out without hurting myself.

"Ok, Joe, get ready, we're going to start pulling you up," I yelled into the hole.

Lucky was whining in anxiety for what was to come out of the hole. Chris and I started pulling on the rope; hand over hand, we brought the boy towards the surface with little difficulty. Not long after we had begun, we could see a patch of short dirty brown hair on top of the boy's head coming into the light of day. A few more tugs and we could see Josiah, hanging from the rope, and trying with what strength he had left to climb out of the hole.

"Ok, Joe, I'm going to tie this end of the rope off then we're going to pull you the rest of the way without it, so hang in there," I told him, seeing the definite signs of pain, and sadness, in his face. He must have known his loved ones were gone, too.

I tied the rope securely and then, as he dangled from the rope, Chris and I each grabbed one of his arms and gently pulled him upward. When we got his torso out past the hole, his feet brushed the sides of the opening.

"Ow! It hurts!" he cried out softly.

We did our best to bring his body the rest of the way out of the hole without touching his ankle. Now that he was in full daylight, I inspected his injuries a bit more. His ankle was definitely swollen but he could still move it, so I guessed it wasn't broken. He had several cuts and scrapes on him that I judged to have happened when he fell down the hole. The one injury that definitely stuck out now, that I hadn't noticed before, was one of his fingers was crooked.

"Holy shit, dude, I think you have a dislocated finger; it's crooked at the knuckle. Joe, I'm sorry but we definitely have to get it back into its right place. I'm not going to lie to you Josiah, this is probably going to hurt like hell, but it will only get worse if we don't fix it," I told him. Then I prepared to straighten his bent finger. "Ok, Chris, I want you to hold him still while I do this. It'll probably hurt bad so we need to keep him still," I ordered.

Chris moved into position and held the Joe by the shoulders, as I gently took a hold of his hand, and grabbed his finger.

"Ok, I'm going to count to three, and on three, I'm gonna set it, ok?" I asked, getting a nod from both boys.

I counted, "One, two," but before I said three and Josiah tensed his body with anticipation, I quickly pushed his finger back into alignment, making the poor boy cry out in agony.

He wept as I consoled him, and I apologized for hurting him. He cried nearly to the point of passing out. It must have hurt a lot.

"Hey, stay with us buddy, don't fall asleep, you'll be ok now," I said, but to no avail. He slipped into unconsciousness anyway. "C'mon Chris, we need to get him back to the mine as fast as we can," I said, scooping up my backpack and slipping it on before picking Joe up off the ground. He seemed lighter than I thought he would be, making me think he had lost weight down there.

Poor little Chris definitely had the harder burden to bear for the hike home. He had to carry his own backpack, both guns, and manage the dog, too. It took almost 'til sundown to reach our hide-away, thanks to getting mildly lost on the way back. All the way back, I couldn't help but to look at the hurt boy I was straining to carry, and admire his beauty even through the filth that covered his body. He kind of reminded me of Jimmy Benton, an actor I had liked before the world ended. His short brown hair, his cute boyish face was causing me to fantasize over what our friendship might be like in the future.

"Derrik! Hey, Derrik! The mine's this way. It's up that hill. I know where we are now," Chris told me, snapping me out of my daydream, while we trudged back to our home. Minutes later, we had arrived at the entrance to the mine.

"Chris, go inside and bring a lantern out so we can see better what we're doing," I told him, since the sun had just set over the peak of the mountain to the west. It would be getting dark out here very fast and we needed to get inside for the night. In a flash, he ran inside and emerged with a lantern burning brightly.

"Turn that down lower; we don't want to be seen out here," I told him, making him dim the brightness down to low.

"Ok, we need to get these nasty clothes off him before we go inside. I think he pissed himself in the hole, because they really stink and they're filthy," I said, as I unbuttoned his shorts.

Chris and I gently pulled the shorts off him, being extra careful not to aggravate his injured ankle. Just as I had thought, he had pissed himself in the hole as was proven by the yellow stain on the front of his briefs. We gently slid those down off his body next, exposing his small hairless boy's cock to the world. He looked to be no bigger than Chris was in his cock size, which seemed perfect to me. Then we slid his t-shirt off over his head making him completely naked now, before we carried him inside.

I scooped up his slender, nude body and carried him to our safe room, while Chris led the way with the light. Once inside our room, Chris turned the lantern up to full brightness. I lay the naked and unconscious boy on the blanket we'd spread out for the dog, so he wouldn't cover our bedding with the filth of his dirty body.

"Chris, stay with him. I'm going outside to pick up the clothes we took off him, and bring the dog in so there's no evidence outside," I said.

A short time after, I returned with his filthy clothes and Lucky by my side. I placed his clothes in a plastic bag we had, and tied it shut to seal the stench inside of it. He was still out cold as I checked him over a bit closer. He had a few scrapes and open wounds on him, so I decided to take care of those first.

"Chris, hand me the first aid kit and the bandages we got from Walmart, please," I said.

I cleaned the open cuts and scrapes as best I could, then covered them with clean bandages. While I was tending to his wounds, Chris was preparing an extra bed for him right next to ours. Once I had all the minor injuries handled, it was time to bathe him a little. I took the gallon jug of water we used for our bathing, a clean rag, and a whole lot of soap, and went to town cleaning his dirty, smelly, naked body. The dirt seemed to dissolve from his face revealing a truly beautiful angel-in-disguise to us.

"Wow, he is cute, isn't he," Chris stated, admiring his looks.

"He sure is. Got a nice pecker, too, don't he," I responded, making Chris smile evilly.

As I washed him more, it became apparent he was a truly beautiful boy making anyone who saw him envious of his looks. A small cut on his cheek couldn't even detract from his beauty.

"Where do you think he came from? He didn't go to our school," Chris asked.

"I don't know. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, though," I answered.

Just as I started washing the best feature of his nakedness, he began to stir. When I was washing his limp two-inch [5 cm] dick, he opened his eyes.

"Wha-what are you doing? Where am I? Why am I naked?" he mumbled quietly.

"Just lie still bud, you're hurt, and you're dirty. We needed to get you cleaned up and get your wounds taken care of. Don't freak out because you're naked, ok? It's cool with us. We had to get your old clothes off because they were nasty and they stunk badly. But, trust me, you've got nothing to be embarrassed over," I reassured him, as he regained more of his wits.

"Ow! God my foot hurts; my finger, too," he said, as he began to whimper.

"It's ok, dude, trust me. I know it hurts now, but you're going to be ok. You're safe here. We're gonna take care of you 'til you're better," I said, trying to comfort him.

That made him smile through his tear-soaked cheeks, which I wiped again for him.

"I'm afraid I gotta make you hurt just a bit more to make you all better, ok? I need to put your fingers and your ankle in splints so they can heal. I'm sorry if I hurt you but we have to do it, ok?" Knowing I was right, and only trying to help, he nodded in agreement.

I took one of the large wooden popsicle sticks from the first aid kit and placed it under the finger that he'd hurt. As it flattened his finger out straight, he grunted from the discomfort, but never let it out. I could tell it was great pain for him, though. I wrapped it as quickly as I could, tying it together with the next finger over to stabilize it. By the time I was done with his finger, he was breathing heavily and had soaked his cheeks again.

"I'm so sorry, dude. I didn't want to hurt you, but it would ever heal right if I didn't," I said, feeling bad for hurting him.

"It's ok. I know you're helping," he said through his sobs.

I didn't really want him to cry too much since I knew he was dehydrated from being in the hole for so long with no food or water. I wiped the tears from his cheeks and he tried to half smile at me. I looked over at Chris and saw he was also teary-eyed.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"It's just seeing him in pain like this sucks, and everything that's happened to us all. It all sucks! It fucking sucks!" he said, as he broke down into full tears. I draped my arm around him to console him.

"Bud, I know it hurts. We all lost everything we had, but now we have each other and that's better than having nothing. You have to go on with life. All we can do now is survive. I'm here for both of you guys, and you're both here for me, too," I said, trying not to cry, myself. Both younger boys needed to hear exactly that right now. They both stopped their sobs and smiled a bit. "Now come on, let's get him well so he can have a chance to live too," I said, rubbing Chris's back.

I continued by splinting Joe's foot then. Really, it was just some tent poles and a lot of medical tape to make his foot stay in position. Then I took some ice that was left in our cooler, and put it in a bag, then placed it on his ankle.

Minutes ticked by like hours as I cleaned and attended to the injured boy we'd found today. I tried my best to keep him awake by making small talk and tried very hard to avoid staring at his perfect boy cock.

We learned he was an only child and had lived in the next town over from us. He said the aliens attacked his town and he ran to keep from being killed by them. He told us they had chased him into the woods in the dark and that's when he'd fallen into the hole. He didn't even know how long he'd been in there and was shocked to find out how much time had passed. He was so weak and dehydrated from the summer heat that he had little energy to do much.

I checked my watch and saw it was nearly midnight. Chris was looking like he was about to fall asleep sitting up. His eyes were droopy and I could see him starting to doze off.

"Chris, bud, go ahead and get some sleep; I know you're tired. I'll stay up with Josiah for a while," I told him.

Without a word, he got up and stripped naked, then crawled into bed about three feet away from where Joe was lying. Josiah couldn't seem to take his eyes off Chris when his clothes came off. I even noticed his exposed dick seemed to twitch a bit. My guess was that he was too weak to do more than that.

"Are you ok with being naked like this? I mean, I'll cover you up if you're not," I asked.

"No, it's ok. I'm just not used to it is all," he said.

"Oh my god, dude, I didn't even think to feed you. I'm so sorry. I know you have to be starving. I would be if I didn't eat for days and days," I said.

He nodded, yes, so I went to our food stock and named off what we had. He seemed to like it when I said chicken noodle soup.

"Good choice. But you have to eat it cold; we don't have a microwave," I told him, laughing.

He smiled big then, and he truly looked hot when he did it. I opened the soup, sat next to him, and spoon-fed him the whole can. He asked for more, so I opened another can and he killed it, too. Then, for a real treat, I cracked open a Pepsi I'd grabbed from the grocery store and had been keeping on ice.

"Oh my god, a cold Pepsi? You are a true friend," he said quietly.

I brought the can to his lips and he sipped at it as if it was life-giving-orgasm-in-a-can. He did choke a bit once but then he was ok. He smiled after he drank the can dry.

"Thank you for everything. I'd be dead if it wasn't for you," he said.

"Actually, you have Lucky over there to thank. He dragged me to the hole where you were. I think he must have smelled you or something. I know I sure did when I got in the hole with you," I said, giggling. He tried to laugh, too, but coughed instead.

"Hey, easy, don't overdo it. You're still very weak. Let's try to get some rest now. Maybe you'll feel better tomorrow. Here, open your mouth and swallow this," I said, as I placed a pill on his tongue.

"What is it?" he asked, as he opened his mouth.

"It's a pain pill I swiped from the pharmacy in the grocery store. It'll make you feel better, and sleep," I said. He swallowed it with no complaint.

Feeling the toll on my own body from the events of the day, I stripped my clothes off while facing away from Josiah, so that he wouldn't see my stiff four inch [10 cm] pecker.

I grabbed a flashlight, and then turned the lantern off for the night. I flipped the flashlight on and made my way back to the bed area, where I pulled the large blanket up over Chris's nude body, then another one over Josiah. I told him good night as he closed his eyes and smiled. Lying down next to Chris, I pulled the blanket up over my own body and flipped the light off. Sleep would take me without a fight on this night.

I lay in the middle between Chris and Josiah, with our fierce guard dog Lucky at our feet. The room was quiet except for the sounds of Lucky and the boys' breathing. As soon as Chris felt the warmth of my body near him, he scooted back against me and nestled in for the night. I draped my arm over his chest and the next thing I knew, I was in dreamland.

Chapter 5
Derrik, Chris, and Josiah Learn Some Things

Days went by as the boys, the dog, and I, were managing to get by on what provisions we had. Josiah seemed to be getting stronger and gaining more energy by the day. Chris had fashioned him a makeshift set of crutches so that he could get around on his bad ankle. The first couple of days were the worst for Joe since he needed help going to the bathroom. Chris and I had to carry him outside and then steady him as he went to the bathroom. Now that he is more mobile, he's been managing the task on his own.

The three of us have been bonding and learning different things about each other. In fact, we learned quite a bit. We found out that Josiah was in the boy scouts and had had survival training before, and that Chris was a handy engineer. He proved that fact early on when he'd come up with our intruder alarm.

We made small talk most of the time we were in the mine to pass the time. Sometimes we played the video games we'd gotten from Walmart, and sometimes we tried to make plans to explore the area more.

As time went by, one thing became apparent; with three people here now, and a dog, our supplies were being stressed even more and we needed to restock. So, we loaded up the ATV and prepared for a trip back to town for supplies.

"Ok, Joe, I know you're probably not going to like this idea, but Chris and I are going to have to leave you here alone for a few hours," I told him. "We have to go into town for food and stuff. We're running low on other supplies, too. I'm going to leave you with a shotgun and the dog. We're gonna close the mine entrance back up securely, so if the alien alarm starts making noise, or you hear anything at all, get that gun ready. You'll hear us when we come back; we'll make noise so you know it's us, for sure. Plus, you will hear the ATV running, so don't shoot at us!"

Having already re-hitched the trailer we got from town, and with the mine entrance secured for leaving, Chris and I piled onto the ATV. Inside the mine, Josiah decided he would just try to wait out our trip by sleeping so he stripped down most of the way, slid his nearly nude body under a blanket, and closed his eyes. Lucky crawled up next to him and, with a deep breath, closed his eyes for some sleep, too.

Meanwhile, on our way to town, we tried to make as little noise as possible with the ATV just in case something in the area might hear us. As we approached the outskirts, we heard a low-toned rumble. We knew right then that we needed to take cover, so I steered the ATV into a thicket of dense bushes to hide both us, and our vehicle, from view. I killed the engine and we quietly dismounted. Staying low and quiet in the bushes, trying hard not to make a sound, we crept closer to town. We were both armed so the fear factor wasn't as high as on our previous trip, but still that element of the unknown was scary for us.

We finally came to the edge of the woods and saw something we had not seen before. It appeared to be some sort of machine; like a robot, or droid, or something like we would see in the movies. It wasn't very big and didn't look very menacing, but we knew from the moment we saw it that we couldn't let it see us. We knew it was alien and that if it saw us, our game would be over.

"Think we should shoot it?" Chris asked.

"Hell no, we don't even know if that would hurt it, and if it didn't, it would know we were here, and then we'd be dead," I whispered to him.

Just then, an alien craft appeared above the town and the machine levitated up to it and into a door underneath. At the same time, we saw five other machines do the same from other parts of the town.

"Those must be some kind of scouting robots looking for survivors. We have to be on our toes from now on. Who knows when we might run into one of those things," I said to Chris.

Once the alien ship was gone, we cautiously proceeded to town on foot with our guns at the ready. We had to walk across a large hay field to get there from where we were, to reach the town. In the field were large voids of flattened-out hay in circular patterns. I looked down, confused, and thought for a moment, and that's when it hit me.

"Holy shit, I don't believe it!" I said.

"What?" Chris asked, looking puzzled.

"Do you know what we're standing in right now?" I asked.

He shook his head, no.

"Dude, it's a damn crop circle. I knew they were made by aliens!" I said.

The spot where we were standing was directly under where the alien ship had been hovering. It clearly was freshly made, so that was all the proof I needed. Now with one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century solved, we pushed on.

Soon we were walking on paved ground again and more apprehensive than ever. We looked in every direction with guns pointed and ready to blast holes in whatever we came across. We were making our way in the direction of the grocery store when Chris stopped dead in his tracks.

"Shh! be quiet a second," he said. We stood quietly for a moment before he spoke again. "Did you hear that? It sounded like a phone ringing," he said.

"I don't know. I thought I might have heard something, but I don't know," I answered.

We took a few more steps and he stopped again. This time I did hear it. We looked at each other in acknowledgment that we'd both heard it this time. We walked further down the road and the sound seemed to grow louder. We turned a corner and saw the source of the sound. A payphone on the corner was ringing off the hook.

"Should we answer it?" Chris asked.

"I'm not sure. I mean, what if it's a trap or something. Maybe those monsters set it up for us," I replied.

Chris nodded in agreement, so we marched on and left the phone to ring.

We went back to the Walmart and grabbed a few backpacks and essentials we needed and headed on to the grocery store. Since we didn't bring the ATV all the way to town this time, we could only grab a few days' worth of food; whatever we could cram into the backpacks. On the way to the store, Chris and I chatted quietly, as we kept our guard up.

"I sure do miss what we did when we first met," Chris said, referring to our sex play in the mine.

"Yeah, me too; every time I see you or Joe naked I just want to grab you and suck the life out of you," I said with a little giggle.

"Yeah, maybe we can try and get Josiah to play later. Who knows, maybe he's as horny as we are," Chris said with an evil smile.

As we pushed on, another noise caught our attention that we hadn't heard before. It sounded like static from a radio.

"You hear that?" I asked quietly.

Chris nodded, acknowledging he had heard it, too.

We redirected our path from the grocery store towards the sound of the static. We crept slowly down the road until we determined that the sound was coming from the police station, which we saw as we entered, was now in shambles. The aliens must have been back since the day I was here and had torn the place up. The static seemed to be coming from a police radio.

"They must have turned it on somehow and just left it," I told Chris, explaining how the place wasn't this bad when I was here before. We walked over to the radio and checked it out just in case. We flipped switches and turned dials trying to find anything.

"Wait! Stop!" I said, as Chris turned a big dial in the middle, "Did you hear that? It sounded like a voice," I told him.

Very slowly, he turned the dial back and the voice reappeared. It was garbled with static, but it was definitely human. I turned a dial next to the big one and some of the static seemed to clear up. The sound was still a bit garbled but we could now make out the signal a bit better.

"Can anyone hear me? Hello, is anyone there? Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Hello? Is anyone still alive out there?" the voice asked.

"Oh my god; someone else is alive!" Chris said excitedly.

The voice seemed to be from what sounded like a young boy or possible a young woman; we couldn't tell because of the distortion in the signal. We stood there in total awe of what we were hearing. Someone else out there had survived the invasion.

"You think we should answer?" Chris asked.

That question was quickly answered when I picked up the microphone and showed Chris the severed cord leading to it.

"Don't think we'll be able to," I said.

We stood there and listened for a few minutes as more of the same came through the speaker. Then what we needed to hear came out.

"If anyone out there can hear this, I'm in Kingston, hiding out. I'm almost out of food and I need help. I'm trapped in a bomb shelter. If you can hear me, please help me," the voice said.

"Oh m'gosh, Derrik, Kingston is like 10 miles from here. Do you think we can help him?" Chris asked.

"I don't know Chris. There's no way we can get there today, and we have no idea where he might be in that town. That shelter could be anywhere," I explained to him.

"Well, we can't just leave him there to die. We have to help him," Chris said with an intent look on his face.

"Look, dude, he said he was almost out of food, not that he was out of food. We can't do anything for him today; it's too late. Kingston is, like you said, 10 miles [15 km] away, but that's on paved roads. If we go, it's going to have to be covert and in the woods, so it might take us all day to get there with the ATV. Let's just get what we came for and get back to the mine. We'll come up with a plan tonight," I told him, hoping to calm him down.

He was disappointed, but had to agree that we couldn't help today. I turned the volume on the radio down and we proceeded on to the store. It appeared that animals or the aliens had made it into the grocery store. The place was a total mess. As we approached the meat department, it became clear who had been here. All of the meat was gone. The plastic wrappers were still here, but the food itself was gone.

"Those things have been here," I said.

Fearing that they might come back here, we gathered what food we could quickly, filling our packs to the top.

"Oh yeah, I forgot something," Chris said, and ran back into the store. He emerged a minute later with a small bag of dog food.

"Good idea, bud. Now we don't have to feed Lucky our food," I told him, as I rubbed the top of his head.

A bit alarmed by the evidence we'd seen of alien visitations, we made our way back out of town, being cautious and alert, and crept slowly through the hayfield 'til we reached the edge of the woods. At that point, we re-entered the bushes and now could increase our pace since we had cover. Not long after that, we reached the ATV, and pushed it out of the thickets and back on the trail. We both climbed on and I started the engine.

"We have to get back to the mine; we have a lot to talk about," I told Chris, and we sped up the trail.

***

Meanwhile, back at the mine, Josiah was getting very worried that something had gone wrong. He had been told that they would only be gone a few hours and here it was almost nightfall. He was too scared to venture out of the mine on his own, but he did have Lucky to protect him. He sat in deep thought, thinking about what might have happened to his new friends.

Just then, the dog's head came up, and he let out a little 'woof', which caught Josiah's attention. He grabbed the gun and aimed it at the door, shaking like a leaf, terrified.

"Shh, Lucky, be quiet," he told the dog, as he was ready to piss himself from fear. He sat for another 30 seconds listening intently until he recognized a sound. He heard the engine of the ATV backing inside the mine entrance. The next sound made his heart slow from a 100 mile-an-hour [160 kph] pace to nearly a normal one; he nearly collapsed from the relief he felt.

"Hey Joe, it's us, don't shoot," he heard coming from the other side of the door, as Chris pushed it open.

"Oh my god, you guys scared me to death," he told us.

"Sorry, bud. We kinda got tied up trying to get to town. We had to walk most of the way," I explained to him.

"Why, what happened?" he asked.

"Aliens happened," Chris said.

"Yeah, we had to hide the ATV in the woods and walk into town, so we couldn't get many supplies; only what we could carry on our backs, but we got enough for a few days, maybe a week if we're careful. Oh yeah, and we got our fierce guard dog some food, too," I told him, winking at Chris.

Chris and I set our packs on the ground and then I went to secure the mine for the night and make sure the alien alarm was re-set. When I got back, I saw that Chris had poured a small pile of dog food on the floor and Lucky was wagging his tail while devouring it, then he had begun to unpack the food and stow it away in the coolers.

"We also got held up by a few other things today," I told Josiah. He looked at me, puzzled. "We saw something new from the aliens. There was some kind of flying robot in town, several of them, in fact. Only thing we can think of is that they were some kind of a scout-droid looking for signs of life. We had to wait 'til the aliens flew over and picked them up before we went on into town," I explained, sliding my shoes and socks off.

"Tell him the rest," Chris said.

"Well, while we were walking through town, we heard a payphone ringing, but decided it might be a trap. So we didn't answer it," said I, feeling a little mischievous.

Chris scowled at me, "Tell him the other thing!"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot the biggest thing." More looks from Chris. "As we were walking through town, we heard another noise, so we went to check it out. We found a two-way radio in the police station that was left turned on. Well, to make a long story short, we heard another person calling for help on it. Someone else is alive. They were calling from Kingston. They said they were in a bomb shelter, trapped, and that they were almost out of food," I told Josiah, who had been listening intently. Chris seemed satisfied now, busy with his own clothes.

It had been a hot day and we were both in need of a washing. I stood up to remove my dirty, sweaty shirt. By now, Chris was already in his boxers. As I slid my shorts off, leaving me also in my undies, Josiah was soaking up what I had told him.

"Wait a minute, did you say Kingston? That's where I lived. Those monsters chased me from my house and into the woods to where you found me. I wonder if it's someone I know," Josiah mused.

"I don't know, Joe. We couldn't tell if it was a boy our age or a young woman. The signal was really messed up. We couldn't make it out too well, but we definitely heard the part about needing help and where they were," I told him. Deep in thought, he sat and wondered who it could be, and if it would be anyone he knew, since Kingston was a small town.

Chris looked at me and gave me an evil grin, like he knew something was getting ready to happen. Something did happen; he dropped his boxers to the floor exposing his nude body to us. I knew what he was trying to do but I didn't let on about it. I just let it go as if it was normal behavior.

He got a rag and our jug of bathing water and began to wash his body off. I glanced over at Josiah, who was no longer in deep thought, and saw his eyes were fixed on Chris's naked slender body. I moved my eyes to his crotch and he surely had a tent going. As Chris washed, he made sure to show us as he washed his small dick and balls. Josiah tried not to stare at Chris but he couldn't help it. He watched as Chris washed his smooth cock and balls with the rag making him grow hard from the contact.

I looked at Chris and saw him smile at me in a knowing way, as if he knew Josiah liked what he was seeing. I decided to join Chris. I stood up and let my boxers fall to the ground, then walked over by Chris, took another rag, and began to wash myself, too. As I washed, Chris handed me his rag and turned to face away from me, which meant he was facing Josiah.

I knew he wanted me to wash his back, so I did. As I washed him, he stood there and enjoyed the feeling, making his small hard cock pulsate with his heartbeat. Josiah was sure getting a good show from us, if nothing else. Once I got to Chris's ass cheeks, I washed each of them in a circular pattern, as he tilted his head back to rest it on my shoulder.

The sheer contact between our bodies was too much for me to take anymore. I hadn't had an orgasm since the day we'd found Josiah and I was about to explode. I dropped the rag and wrapped my arms around him as I kissed him on the side of his neck, and I heard Josiah make a gulping sound as he swallowed hard. I stopped kissing Chris's neck and looked down at Joe. Chris turned and looked into my eyes and I then knew what he had planned. I let go of his body and he turned and walked over to Josiah.

"It's time for your bath, mister," Chris told him, in a kinky tone of voice.

Then he snatched the blanket off Josiah and gently pushed him down on the bed into a prone position on his back, so that he didn't hurt his ankle. Now the tent in Joe's boxers was very pronounced. Chris grabbed his undies by the waistband and gently pulled them down. Josiah tried to resist at first, but let Chris have his way after his hard cock popped out. Chris continued sliding his boxers off 'til he reached Josiah's hurt ankle, at which time I took over, and took them off the rest of the way. Now that all three of us were stark naked and hard as rocks, I sat back to watch, as the two young, horny boys carried on with their sex play.

"Please guys, I'm not, um, I mean, I don't like… um… um… " Josiah struggled to tell us.

"Just say it, Joe," I told him.

"I, I'm not gay, guys. I never did anything like this before," he said.

"So what? If you try it, you might like it. I sure did," Chris told him.

"You sure seemed to like watching us have fun. Why not have some with us?" I asked.

He didn't have an answer for that. I think his mind was soon changed though, when he felt Chris's hand wrap around his hard little tool. He inhaled sharply as Chris squeezed him gently.

"Come on, Josiah, you'll love it. Just try it once; if you don't like it, you don't have to do it again. You'll just have to watch me and Derrik having fun," Chris said, laughing, as he slowly fondled Josiah's little dick.

Not knowing exactly what he should do, Joe just nodded ok, and the fun began.

Chris smiled and got into a position where he could inhale Joe's dick into his mouth. Within seconds, Josiah gasped sharply and clenched his eyes shut, as the head of this cock slid between Chris's lips. Chris clamped down on him and began to give him the biggest thrill of his life.

"How does it feel?" I asked him.

"Oh m'gosh, it's awesome. I never thought it would feel like this," he moaned, struggling to get the words out, as Chris's head bobbed up and down on his shaft.

His smooth slender body was more than inviting to my wandering hand as it found it's was over to Josiah's smooth hairless torso. I began to rub up and down his chest and belly as Chris continued to suck on his prepubescent cock. I occasionally tickled his nipples, as Chris would pop his cock out, licking all around the tip of it.

Next thing I knew, I felt a hand encircling my own cock. Chris had grabbed Joe by the wrist and brought his hand up to my cock. The boy grabbed me with no protest, followed by Chris's hand. I now had two boys' hands in complete control of my dick and it felt great. So warm and tender, it felt like warm velvet around my dick. Chris began to speed up sucking Joe as they both began to stroke me.

"Not gay, huh? Guess we proved that wrong, didn't we," I said, enjoying the moment and making Joe smile through his slight moans.

"Wait, stop, I gotta pee," Josiah said.

Once Chris heard that, he chuckled with the boy's dick still in his mouth, and I told him to go for it. Chris began to bob his head up and down furiously now.

"Stop, Chris, I have to pee. I'm gonna pee in your mouth if you don't," he cried out. Chris had no intention of stopping. Next thing I saw was Josiah's whole body go tense and he inhaled very deeply. Chris went all the way down on his cock 'til his lips were resting on Joe's belly. He then very slowly slid up the boy's dick making his body shudder. Then Josiah let out the deep breath he had taken, and began breathing heavily.

"Oh m'gosh, what was that? It felt so good!" Joe said softly, panting.

"Well, it's called an orgasm. Feels fucking great, don't it?" I stated.

He was still in orgasmic bliss, with his eyes still closed, but nodded 'yes'.

Chris only now started to withdraw the small dick from his mouth giving Joe one final surge of pleasure, as his dick popped out. I continued gently rubbing his tender chest as he came back to earth from bliss. He opened his eyes about a minute later.

"Like it?" Chris asked, licking his lips.

"Oh m'gosh, yes; man, that was great, thank-you! Can you do it again, please?" he asked.

Chris and I instantly cracked up laughing. "You know, it's only fair if you return the favor somehow," I told Josiah.

"How?" he asked.

"Well, I got an idea," Chris said. "I don't know how we can do this but I wanna try it," "I want Derrik to fuck me, and you can jack me off at the same time," Chris explained.

"How?" asked Josiah again.

"Like this," I said, as I lay down and let Chris mount me. Chris lined my cock up with his tight pucker and slowly began to sink onto it. Like before, my cock not being too big, it slipped inside him with little difficulty. Once I was inside him, and he was settled on me, I brought Joe's hand up to encircle Chris's hard little three-inch [7½ cm] pecker. As Chris began to ride up and down on me, Josiah began to move the fingers of his good hand up and down Chris's dick.

"Mm," Chris moaned, as he got pleasure from two sources.

It felt so good to me that not much time went by 'til I felt my cock start to pulsate in Chris's love tunnel, as my orgasm washed over me. His orgasm began to rack his body within seconds of my own, and I felt his sphincter clamp down on my shaft making me force my dick in him even deeper, extending my pleasure. Josiah had gotten a good rhythm down as he stroked up and down on Chris, helping him feel wave after wave of pleasure shoot through his small body.

Once his orgasm peak had passed, he collapsed onto my chest and lay there breathing heavily, with my dick still hard in him. A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and planted a huge sloppy kiss on my lips. He then looked over at Josiah, who was smiling at us.

"That felt great. Thanks," he told him, for stroking him off.

Then he rose off my chest and stood up slowly, letting my cock slide out of him, and he sat down next to Josiah. Leaning over, Chris moved his face to within inches of Joe's and their eyes seemed to be locked on each other's. Joe began to breathe heavily once again, as Chris's face came closer and closer. Finally, their lips met in a tender, loving, first kiss. Chris slowly drew back then.

Chris looked over at me. "No offense Derrik, but ever since I first saw him, I fell in love with him," Chris said, to both mine and Josiah's shock. He then turned back to Joe and placed his hands on Josiah's cheeks then planted another, deeper kiss on him. This time Joe didn't resist; he let it happen and even placed his hands on Chris's sides under his arms. A few seconds later the kiss broke.

"Oh gosh; I never thought anything would feel like this. I never thought I would feel like this about another boy. I think I like it. I think I like it a lot," Joe said quietly.

Seeing the two smaller boys seem to fall in love made me feel good. I was attracted to Chris and I loved to have sex with him, but as for love, I wasn't sure. I loved him as a close friend but as a lover, I just wasn't sure about it.

It seemed he had found his love and opened Josiah's eyes to a world he never knew existed for him. The two kissed a few more times and then lay down.

By now, I was famished from all of the walking during the day and sex play we'd just had. I got up and went to the cooler, while the lovebirds lay and held each other. I made a peanut butter sandwich and lay down next to the boys.

I munched away on my sandwich, and the next thing I heard was the distinct sound of two cute boys snoring. They had fallen asleep in each other's arms. I, however, sat up for a while longer and thought of plans for the next day for how we were going to go about finding the person in Kingston.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized I was going to have to go alone. Josiah was in no condition to go with me due to his injuries, and he sure couldn't be left alone for a day or two. I surely wasn't going to let Chris go off on his own to look for the person. I had decided that I would go alone and take the ATV, and since Lucky had a keen sense of smell, which had found Josiah, I would take him along. He just might be able to sniff out the person where they were trapped in that shelter.

I set the alarm on my watch for 6 a.m. and turned down the lantern for the night. I settled in next to the two sleeping boys and draped an arm over both of them, making them sigh in their sleep. I pulled the covers over us and then proceeded to the land of dreams. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Chapter 6
AJ

My eyes opened to a dimly lit room. The sound from my watch pierced through the quiet darkness of the room, bringing me slowly back to earth. I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, trying to wake up without waking the boys. Six a.m. had come all too early, and I felt as if I had just lain down and fallen asleep only minutes before. Now it was time to prepare to set out to find that person in Kingston, who needed our help.

I carefully got up from the bed without waking the two sleeping boys, and got dressed quietly, as Lucky watched. I slipped on my shoes, grabbed a gun, and called for the dog to follow me outside for our first piss of the day. Lucky sniffed at every tree outside the mine entrance, pissing on the ones he found inviting to his nose, while I peed on the first one I came to. As I stood and drained my bladder, I yawned with a little roar. I had finished my business and was zipping my pants up when I noticed Lucky squat his hind end down to do a bit more business. We should have named the dog Egypt since he shits piles the size of pyramids.

Once he was done, we re-entered the mine to find Chris awake. "Morning; how're you feeling?" I asked.

"Fine; you getting ready to leave for Kingston?" he asked me.

"Yep, I need to wake Josiah up so I can get some info on that town before I leave," I said.

"That's easy, I'll wake him for you," Chris offered with a wicked grin.

He reached over to Joe's bare penis under the blanket and began to fondle it while he slept. Not even a minute after he started, Joe began to stir. He moaned slightly, and smiled as he opened his eyes. Now that he was awake, Chris stopped massaging his little cock.

"Ok, he's awake now," said Chris, giggling.

"Hey, no fair, that felt good!" Josiah whined.

"Sorry to let Chris wake you up like that Josiah, but you guys can always finish later. Right now, I need you to tell me some things about your home town," I told him, as he rubbed his sleepy eyes.

As Josiah answered what questions I could think of, I packed the gear I would need for a two-day trip to Kingston to look for the survivor. I packed food for the dog and myself, two guns for protection, a sleeping bag and blanket, some first aid supplies, just in case, and some climbing ropes. I packed it all as compactly as I could, then I placed the leash on Lucky's neck.

"Ok guys, here's what we have to do. The dog and I are going looking for the survivor. You guys need to stay inside or at least close to the entrance of the mine. Joe is still in rough shape and he's going to need your help Chris. I plan to be gone for two days, but it might turn into three, who knows.

"If I get there and I can't find anything, Lucky and I will be back. If we do find something, that might hold us up longer. So, if we're not back in two days, don't freak out right away. There should be enough food to last until we get back, so don't pig out you guys. And keep a gun by the door to the safe room, ready at all times," I said, then I slung the backpack over my shoulder.

Chris and Josiah both agreed that what I said would be law for now, and they both nodded. I could tell that they were eager to get back to their fun, as I grabbed the dog's leash. I bade them both good-bye and told them I'd see them in a few days, and then I headed out to the ATV with the dog.

I pushed the ATV outside the mine entrance with Lucky sitting on the passenger side, tied up so he couldn't jump off. Once I had the ATV outside, I heard Chris yelling from inside the mineshaft. I turned to see him run out of the entrance, still completely naked and smiling. He ran to me and engulfed me in a big hug.

"Be careful. We need you to come back to us," he said, hugging me tightly. I wrapped my arms around the smaller boy and squeezed.

"I will. I promise," I said, as I kissed him on top of his mop of hair. We released the hug and he turned to re-enter the mine, but I lightly slapped him on his bare ass as he went back inside, making him laugh. Seeing his smooth bare buns walking away from me made my cock twitch a bit. That twitch quickly faded because I knew I was in for a few long days.

I climbed on the ATV and cranked the engine to life. Lucky and I were off now for Kingston. First, we had to detour to town so I could fill the fuel tank with gas, then back up the mountain a bit, where I cautiously drove the ATV through the woods and wilderness towards Kingston, while trying my best to keep out of sight from the air in case a ship flew over. The miles went by relatively quickly and we made it to the outskirts of Kingston in just a few hours, thanks to the ATV.

I parked it in a thick brush pile, making sure to cover it completely from view. I slung my pack over my shoulders and proceeded on foot with a shotgun held by one arm and the dog's leash by the other. I figured since Lucky had a way-better sense of smell and hearing than I did, he'd be a good early warning system in case of danger. We trekked on into the streets of the small town while I kept the shotgun at the ready. I followed the directions that Josiah had given me and quickly found the police station. It had been torn to shreds by the aliens. All around in this town, just like in the other, destruction reigned. Most of the buildings were either destroyed or severely damaged.

I walked on to the small single school that all the kids in town went to, to see if it, too, had an old cold-war style bomb shelter like my school had. When I got to the school, it was clear there was no way I could check it out. The building had been leveled to the ground and seemed to have burned for days before finally burning itself out. There was no way that the person was transmitting from here.

The dog and I searched on for a while longer with no success. I then decided to find a place to hole up for the night. It was nearly sundown, and I decided we would wait out the night in the old post office since it was one of the few buildings in town left standing. I spread out my sleeping bag on the floor and grabbed a sandwich I'd made that morning for my dinner. I poured out a pile of dog food on the floor for Lucky, which he clearly had no problem wolfing down. I tied his leash to an old heavy table-leg so he wouldn't run off on me, then I lay down for some rest myself. I checked my watch, and as the light level outside confirmed, it was nearly 9 p.m.

Once Lucky was done eating, he lay down next to me on the floor and let out a sigh, as he closed his eyes for some rest. I had the dog on one side of me, and a 12-gauge shotgun on the other. For the moment, I felt vulnerable from being in an unfamiliar place, but I was secure for the evening. The sleep I had that night certainly wasn't great; I tossed and turned all night long, dreaming, and thinking about what the other boys and I would do in the future. Thoughts of how we would make it through the cold months of autumn and winter plagued my mind while I slept. Visions of Chris and Josiah as frozen blocks of ice haunted my dreams.

I found myself being awakened by Lucky, licking the sweat from my face, sometime during the night. I sat up and looked at my watch; 4 a.m. it read, and as hard as I tried, I couldn't go back to sleep after that. I sat petting the dog and pondering the visions and dreams I'd had during the previous several hours of sleep. The one big thing that stuck out was what were we going to do when it turned cold. There was no way we could survive in the mine in the wintertime with no source of heat. Somehow, I knew it was probably going to be up to me to figure out what we were going to do.

The pressure of everything that had happened in the last week was beginning to wear on my senses. A boy of my age should not have to make these decisions and be responsible for the lives of other people. I should be in school and enjoying life as a kid, but instead, I was just getting by day-to-day, hiding from something no one could have ever imagined. A tear streamed down my cheek as I sat with Lucky, thinking about my situation and everyone I had lost in my life. All of my family and friends were gone, as far as I knew. They were killed, or worse, by the invading creatures.

I was drawn out of my self-pity very fast when I heard a faint sound in the night, "Can anyone hear me? Hello? Is anyone there?" I heard in the distance. Lucky let out a little whine. This time it wasn't distorted by static like before. It sounded like someone asking for help in person. I jumped to my feet, grabbed the gun and flashlight, and Lucky's leash, and cautiously began following the sound.

I stopped about every 50 feet [15 m] or so, listening for the voice to make sure I was going in the right direction. As we stopped to crouch and listen, Lucky's ears perked up and he let out a muffled 'woof'. He'd definitely heard the voice this time.

I gave him about eight feet [2½ m] of leash and let him lead the way. He walked along, sniffing the ground, and stopped a few times to listen. He led the way to a collapsed rubble pile that looked like it used to be a house. He stopped and sat down. I crouched down on one knee next to him and listened. I nearly jumped out of my damn skin from what I heard next.

"Help! Is anyone out there? Please!" I heard it very close now. So close, in fact, it sounded like it was coming from right in front of us, from underneath the rubble pile. Lucky broke away from me, yanking his leash from my hand, as he raced to the pile and began sniffing and scratching at it. I then knew that a survivor was alive in that pile of destroyed wood that used to be a house.

"Hello? Can you hear me?" I asked in a low voice, trying not to give away my position.

There was no response, so I walked around the pile and repeated myself a few more times. I knew someone was in there now, but that was about all I knew. I didn't know where they were in the pile, if they were hurt, and so on. I stopped and listened for the voice, which now sounded very much like a boy close to my age calling out.

I got a general idea of where the voice was coming from and began to dig through the rubble. Whoever was inside could definitely hear me since they started to yell once they heard me moving the splintered wood around.

"Shh! Dammit, be quiet!" I said, sternly, and loud enough for the person to hear me. I didn't want anything else to hear him. Lucky had been whining softly, and now he worked his way down to where I was. I could see there wouldn't be room for him if I had to work at this, so I took him back out of the rubble, and tied his leash to a stout timber near to where I would be, so he could see me. Then I went back down to get to work.

After nearly two hours of digging through the rubble, it was getting close to dawn, and I was getting somewhere. I got to a lower level of the home, which seemed to be the basement, which was surprisingly intact, compared to the upper floors of the house. The first floor had held up most of the debris from getting into the basement. Don't get me wrong, the basement was a hell of a mess but I had room to move down there.

I called out to the person and they seemed frantic now about being saved.

"Help me! Please get me out of here!" the voice was crying now. Lucky gave out with a soft 'woof', and I shushed him.

I dug through some debris and finally found what I was looking for, a thick steel door that was held closed by a large wooden beam that had fallen against it. I knocked on the door and called out.

"Hello, can you hear me in there? I'm gonna get you out of there, just hold on. There's a big wooden beam holding the door shut and I'll have to move it."

"Please hurry. I don't know how much longer I can stay in here," a young sounding voice said from the other side of the thick door. Poor Lucky was anxious and whining.

I tried my best, but without luck, to move the beam. It was just too heavy for me to move. I thought for a few minutes, and then one of those things you learn in school that you think will never come in handy in real life, hit me. If I find a lever big enough, I can move this beam and get that kid out of there. I checked around the basement for something that would work and found a large piece of old cast iron drainpipe. I grabbed it and quickly ran back to the door. I shoved the pipe under the beam and then pried with all of my might on the other end to get the beam to move, and it did some.

I pushed myself to the point of nearly passing out while prying on the beam to get it off that door. I wasn't going to stop until I had that door open. I gave one final effort, gathering all my strength and, with a grunt, forced the beam off the door. I fell to the ground next to the beam, nearly passing out from putting every ounce of thirteen-year-old muscle I had into freeing that door.

As I lay there trying to catch my breath, I heard the door unlock and slowly swing open, with a long, drawn out, squeaking noise. I lifted my head to see a form step out of the room. As I regained my breath and got my wits back, I could see it was indeed a boy; a boy younger than me, but older than Chris, probably around 11 or so.

"Are you ok?" he asked, sounding like an angel.

I focused on him, and saw that he was dirty, but still had looks that could make him a model instantly. He asked again if I was ok, and I muttered, "Yeah, I'll be ok in a minute. I just winded myself prying that beam off the door. I'm Derrik."

"My name's AJ," the boy said.

I sat up and took a few deep breaths before getting back up on my feet. Once I was upright again, I saw that I was a full head taller than this new boy was. He wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug.

"Thanks for much for coming to my rescue!" he said to me, before letting me go.

"Bet it feels good to be out of there," I said to him, noticing the rank smell that came from inside, which smelled like urine.

"Yeah, it was so hot in there. I had to go to the bathroom in there, too," he said, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's cool dude, you gotta do what you gotta do, sometimes. How 'bout we get you outta here and to some place safe?" I asked him.

He smiled, and nodded ok. He only had on a pair of shorts and socks; it seems he had been in the house and had run down here in a hurry. I stepped into his stinky confines to check it out before we left. There were a lot of food wrappers and empty water bottles on the floor. He had a lantern going for light and in the corner sat the short-wave radio he was using to call for help from the outside world. I backed out quickly.

"AJ, now that we have you out of there, let's get out of here. I have a place about 10 miles [15 km] from here that is safe, and we have plenty of room for you to join us," I told him.

"We? Us? You mean there are more than just you still alive?" he asked with a smile.

"Yeah, there's me, Chris, and Joe. Oh yeah, and we have a dog, too; his name's Lucky," I told him. Lucky heard his name and gave us a couple of woofs to let us know he was still there.

AJ looked scared, amazed, and confused all at the same time. I walked back into the room he had been stuck in and grabbed the radio, turned it off, and brought it out with me. Then I led him through the twisted mass of wood that used to be his home.

Once we got outside, he turned to look at his house and began to cry. "My house; it's, it's gone. So are my parents, my little brother, and everybody else. Everybody is dead!" he said, weeping. Lucky strained on his leash and managed to rub against AJ's legs, licking his hands.

I wrapped him in a hug to comfort him. "That might be true, AJ, but you got us now. We have to stick together if we are going to make it through this. If those damn aliens catch us, we're dead. They have no mercy at all; they're vicious. Trust me, I know. If you want to stay and take your chances here, that's fine, but you are welcome to come back with me," I told him.

"There's no reason for me to stay here now. Everyone I ever knew is dead and gone. I'll go with you," he said, as he wiped his eyes.

I picked my gun up off the ground, grabbed the dog's leash, and we headed back to the post office to collect the gear I'd left there.

***

A short time later, we arrived at the post office, and everything was just the way I'd left it. AJ sat down in a chair while I rolled up my sleeping bag and blanket. As I was doing so, I heard the distinct sound of his stomach growling.

"Hungry?" I asked.

"Starving; I ran out of food last night," he answered.

I handed him one of the sandwiches I had wrapped up and he dug into it with no complaint. He had the food eaten before I even had my backpack ready to go.

"Ok, kid, here's the plan. We are going to have to walk a little ways back into the woods. I have an ATV stashed there that I drove here to find you. Only thing is, it's about a mile away, in the woods. You think you can make it that far barefoot?" I asked.

"If it gets me to a safe place, I'd walk that far butt-naked," he answered, with a giggle. Clearly, he was feeling a little better for having had some food.

It was then I noticed how truly cute he really was. He had dimples in both cheeks when he smiled, and his green eyes were a standout feature. He did indeed look like an angel, only with brown hair. I slung my pack over my shoulder and handed him Lucky's leash. Grabbing the shotgun, we were off to find the ATV.

We walked for about 20 minutes through town. Poor AJ looked very sad as he looked at the ruins of the town where he'd lived. As he sobbed softly, I placed an arm around his shoulders to comfort him.

"I know, bub, my town looks just like this one does," I said, sounding a little sad myself.

Leaving the edge of town, we headed off into the woods 'til we found the pile of brush that I'd placed on the ATV the day before in order to hide it.

"There it is," I said, pointing to the pile.

We uncovered it and climbed aboard. AJ sat next to me, and Lucky was tied in the back with the gear. I fired it up and we were on our way back to the mine.

On the way, I got to know AJ a bit better. Like his name, AJ stood for Adam Joseph. I learned he was the eldest of two boys who had lived in that house with their parents. He's 11 years old and was in the 5th grade. The one thing that stuck out was that, just like me, he'd lost everyone and everything he'd known and had.

It didn't take as long to get back to the mine as it had to get to Kingston, since I knew which way to go to get back to the mine, and I didn't need to stop in town on the return trip.

By 2 p.m., we'd pulled up to the mine entrance. "Ok, we're here," I said, climbing off to start removing some of the boards, which had closed up the entrance.

"Where, I don't see anything?" he asked.

"Home. This is the mine entrance. Trust me; it's not as bad inside as it looks from the outside. We have plenty of room inside," I told him. "Just wait here a few minutes; I'm going inside to let the others know we're here so they don't shoot us," I said, and I entered the mine, making sure to let Chris and Josiah know it was me that was coming in.

"Chris! Joe! It's me, don't shoot," I said, before I entered the safe room.

I pushed the door open to find them in a rather compromising position. The boys were lying on their sides in a 69 position sucking each other's cocks.

"Fuck, you guys weren't even ready with the gun? What if I was an alien?" I asked, with a bit of an attitude.

Chris pulled off Josiah's dick long enough to tell me, "We heard the ATV motor so we didn't stop what we was doing." Then he went back to sucking Joe's dick.

"Well, sorry guys, but you're going to have to stop your fun for now. I FOUND THE SURVIVOR!" I said, excitedly. They both popped the other's cock from their mouths and looked at me in awe.

"No way!" Chris said, smiling.

"Yep, sure did. He's outside. You two at least put some clothes on before I bring him inside," I told the young lovebirds. The boys stopped their sex play, slid shorts and shirts on, then stood and waited as I yelled for AJ to come into the mine.

"AJ! Come on in! Just come in the entrance and you will see me standing by the door to the safe room."

He got off the ATV, entered the mine, and saw me. I waved him to join me and he walked toward me. A second later, he stepped into the room and saw Chris and Joe. The next thing I heard was Josiah yelling out in great awe and happiness, "ADAM!"

Hope you like the story so far. Guess I should explain something you might be wondering about, the ATV; it's like one of those large gas-powered 4-seater golf carts or a utility vehicle, I guess you could call it.

Chapter 7
Boys Living Together

I stood dumbfounded that the two younger boys knew each other on a first name basis.

"You guys know each other?" I asked.

Without even answering, they ran up to one another and wrapped their arms around the other, sobbing like babies. Chris looked at them, and then at me, then shrugged his shoulders. I returned the shrug since I had no idea what was going on either. We simply stood there and stared at the two boys embracing as if they were the only two people in the world. After about a minute, I coughed a little to clear my throat, and to get their attention. They broke their embrace for a moment to look up at me.

"Like I said before; you guys know each other?" I said, repeating my question.

"We sure do! He's my cousin!" Josiah said excitedly.

"Cool! You guys are family?" Chris said, although more as a statement than a question.

"Did anybody else make it? Where's Donny?" Joe asked AJ.

With a tear streaking down his cheek, and a sad face, he shook his head no, to confirm he didn't think anyone else had made it. This brought both boys from a happy, teary, reunion to a sad, crying one. I knelt down next to them and embraced them both with a slight hug to let them know I was there for them. The sobbing seemed to go on forever, but in fact, it was only a few minutes before the boys calmed down.

"Who's Donny, guys?" I asked quietly.

"He was my little brother," AJ said, as he sobbed with a shudder.

I could tell by the look in his eyes that he must have loved him dearly. He had the most awful defeated look in his young eyes. I could also tell he was near the point of exhaustion. He had been locked in that dungeon for nearly a week without any contact.

I placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "I know how it feels to lose someone you love. All of us have lost people we loved. You have to know this, now; we have each other, and only each other, to get through this. I'm not promising you anything, but if you stick with us, we will be here for you when you need us."

"That's right!" Chris spoke up, now with tears in his eyes also.

I got up gently, headed for the door, and motioned for Chris to follow me. Out in the mineshaft, I gave him a quick hug then told him, "Thanks for backing me up in there. I think he needed to hear that. I want you to help me unload the ATV and stash it before it gets too late. I think we all need to hang around here today. I think AJ needs some rest. He hasn't had much to eat, either, so after we get it unloaded, let's go back in and have a decent meal, and let him and Joe catch up."

"Ok, that's cool with me, but do you think we might want to tell him that other little thing about us?" Chris asked, making a good point.

"I'm not sure of how to tell him yet. Let's just let it work out later on and see how things go. For now, he needs to regain his strength," I replied.

The two of us unloaded the gear from the ATV and I backed it into the mine entrance. As we walked back to the safe room down the mineshaft, Chris had a thought. "Hey, I got a question. What are we going to do when it gets cold outside?" The thing my mind had been working over for the last few days had been brought out for debate.

"Well, to tell you the truth, Chris, I have no damn idea. I've been thinking about it for a few days now and I really don't know yet. I mean we can't build a fire in that little room because the smoke would kill us, and we can't exactly put a chimney in either. It's just something we're going to have to figure out," I told him. Now that we had two minds thinking about the problem, maybe a solution would present itself faster, especially since Chris is as resourceful as he is.

As we walked back into the safe room, we could tell that AJ was definitely tired. His eyes were so droopy that I couldn't tell how he was staying awake.

"Looks like we're going to have to make our bed a little bit bigger," I said.

"Our bed... what's that mean?" AJ asked.

Chris answered for me. "It means we all share a bed. We don't have enough room in here for all of us to have our own little area so we sleep together, which also helps us to keep warm. Plus, we don't have enough blankets to make a bunch of beds," he replied.

Not seeming to object to the explanation of the sleeping arrangements, AJ yawned like a sleepy tiger, loud and large.

"Looks like you need some of that sleep bud. Let's get you cleaned up first, and then I'll make some room in the bed so you can crash, and get some rest. First though, let's eat something. I know you gotta be starving," I told him.

He nodded his head, yes, eagerly. I opened our food cooler to let him peek inside at what we had left.

"No way, a Pepsi! I haven't had one in over week," he said, as he reached in for one. He sat down, cracking the can open, and sipped slowly, savoring the sugary drink.

While he sipped, I prepared a five-star gourmet meal; peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and potato chips. Well, it was gourmet considering what we had to eat. AJ devoured the sandwich as if he hadn't eaten in days, while the rest of us ate at a normal pace. As he sipped the Pepsi, the caffeine in it seemed to have an effect opposite to the usual, making him even sleepier.

"Ok, bud; before you fall asleep on us, let's get you cleaned up so you can snooze.

"How, I mean, there's no bathroom here?" he asked.

"Well, you're sitting in the bathroom. The bathroom, bedroom, living room, and kitchen actually," I said, chuckling.

"You mean you guys just bathe in here?" he asked incredulously.

"Sure do. We all got the same stuff so why not," Chris offered, referring to our equipment. AJ seemed to be unsure about the idea of undressing in front of us as he looked at Josiah.

"It's cool dude, go ahead," Joe told him, smiling.

Hesitantly, he removed his dirty shirt and shorts, leaving him only in his briefs. I asked him to hand me his clothes that he'd removed so I could do something with the stinky things. Then I looked at him and waited.

"What?" he asked, not knowing why I was staring at him.

"The undies, too, dude," Josiah told him. He seemed not to want to remove them in front of us. I guess young boy modesty was still holding him back. "Adam, dude, just take 'em off; it's cool. Here, if you want, I'll take mine off too, ok?" Josiah told him, in kind of an annoyed tone. Then he slid his shorts off over his sore foot, exposing his nude form to us.

AJ stood and gazed at his naked cousin, sitting on the bed now, with his smooth hairless shaft exposed to the world. I looked down at AJ and could swear I saw him start to get hard. He looked back at me, and then noticed the tent developing in his undies, making his hands fly in front of his crotch to cover it. I figured now was as good as any time to break the news to him.

"Ok, Adam, before anything in this room is said or goes any further you need to know a few things. Number one, you got no reason to be embarrassed by your dick getting hard. Number two, we see each other naked a lot. Number three, we all sleep naked, too. And the most important thing, I guess, is we all like each other," I told him.

"Wadya mean, 'y'like each other'? Joey, wat's he mean?" AJ asked.

Not knowing how to say it without sounding weird, Chris just put it plainly. "Josiah and me are boyfriends. That's how we all like each other, ok?" he said, getting annoyed. Soundlessly, AJ looked back at me.

"Yeah, he's blunt about it, but right," I said.

AJ stood still for a minute before he spoke, "Shoot, I thought you guys were trying to play a joke on me," he said, right before yanking his underwear off. Now he was standing in front of us completely nude, with his rigid 3-inch [8 cm] penis dancing to his heartbeat.

Smiling at me, he said, "I have always liked boys. I just wish I knew Joe did before all this stuff happened. Maybe we could have messed around some," he said, and smiled broadly.

"Well Adam, actually I never really thought about liking boys before this happened. Chris and Derrik kind of changed my mind," Josiah said, with a red-faced smile.

"Ok, bud, I know you're tired, but are you ready to get cleaned up now?" I asked.

Adam, being the cute character that he is, put his hands up as if he was reaching for the sky, and smiled. "Wash away," he said, laughing.

That's exactly what I did with a wet, soapy rag. I scrubbed him from thigh to toe tip. I scrubbed him from belly button to fingertip. Lastly, and best of all, I asked if he wanted the pleasure for himself or if he was going to just stand and enjoy. He looked at me, smiled, and placed his hands behind his wet head. I took that as a sign to go for it so I began to wash him from belly button to thigh. The moment the rag touched his skin near his nether region, he began to giggle loudly.

"That tickles," he managed to get out. Then I turned him around and began to wash his firm, white, boy-cheeks. I glanced over at the other boys to see that they were transfixed on him and both hard as rocks, watching us.

I cupped my hand over AJ's ear and whispered, "Hey, watch this, it'll be funny." I then slowly reached around to his front with the rag and gently brushed it past his stiff boyhood, eliciting a sharp intake of breath. I knew this was torture for the others since they had been in the middle of getting off when we got home. I brushed against his cock again, but this time he sighed into a deep groan of lust. That was all Chris could stand, and the clothes flew off his body. I dropped the rag and began to massage AJ's tummy in that sensitive area just above his throbbing little cock.

The next thing I heard was, "Oh, god, I can't take it no more," from Chris, and I see him dive for Joe's cock and engulf it in his young mouth. Now these two could finally finish what they'd started earlier.

AJ looked at them and smiled, as Chris and Josiah moved their bodies into a 69 position and began to suck on each other's smooth shafts.

Then I wrapped my free arm around Adam's chest and said softly into his ear, "Are you ready for some fun, big guy?" He nodded vigorously. I held him against my chest while my other hand found its way from his tummy down to the base of his shaft, as he let out a soft moan. Encircling his little cock with my fingers, I began to stroke him, maybe for the first time by another person.

"Your first time?" I whispered to him.

He nodded slowly and said, "Yeah, with someone else."

I slid my fingers from the base of his shaft to the bottom of his tender mushroom-headed boy-toy, making him shudder with pleasure. Gripping him firmly between my thumb and two fingers, I began to jerk him slowly and tenderly. I turned him to face me so I could see the expression on his face. It was one of total pleasure.

I stopped just long enough to say, "Let me wash the rest of you first, and then I'll give you a little of what they're feeling," referring to getting his first blow job.

He smiled and nodded. He was so cute with those dimples of his. I washed his remaining private area thoroughly, and then sank to my knees in front of him. I looked up at him, and we heard the others slurping, sucking, and moaning. With a grin, I asked him, "You ready for this?" He gave me a big smile and nodded. I cupped his smooth, tender, butt-cheeks with one hand then took his small boy-cock in my fingers and guided it to my waiting lips. The tip slid in on top of my tongue and he gasped in pure delight. Once I had him all the way in my mouth, I cupped both milky white cheeks with my hands and guided his hips back and forth, as he placed his hands on the top of my head. In no time, he started to breathe heavily and moan slightly. The more he moaned, the faster my pace, as we heard the others getting close to finishing. They were moaning and sucking at a break-neck pace, so urgent was their need.

Then, "Oh, fuck, Joe!" Chris moaned loudly, letting Josiah's dick slip from his mouth, and screwing up his face, just as his orgasm struck.

That caused AJ to giggle a little, so I began to whip the tip of his little prick with my tongue. "Oh, shit!" he let out softly, as I worked his cock-head.

As his orgasm began to fade, Chris went back to sucking on Josiah so that he could cum, too. A few seconds later Josiah began to moan as well, feeling his boy-dick pulsate and twitch in Chris's mouth, while popping his dry orgasm.

I stopped with the tongue work on Adam and began to suck once more. I felt his hands start to guide and push my head down on his cock so I knew he was getting close to popping, himself.

Then we heard something that snapped us instantly out of playtime, and into danger mode; the jingle bell alarm began to ring.

***

Oh, Shit! Our intruder alarm was active and working perfectly. Something was outside the entrance to the mine. Lucky's head came off the floor, his ears perked up, and he began to growl. We had never seen him do this, and we started to get very scared. I broke out in a cold sweat as I let Adam's boy-dick slip from my mouth, jumped up, and leaped for the guns. AJ had no idea what was going on. Chris looked ready to piss himself, and Josiah seemed to be in shock.

"What's going on; why did you stop? It felt so good," AJ asked.

"It's the alarm; something is outside the mine entrance. If we live to see each other again, I'll finish what I started, if not, I had fun and I hope you did too, but right now, get over in the corner and get ready," I said in a quick whisper, instructing Adam to get ready for anything. Looking from me, to Lucky, to Chris and Josiah where they sat on the bed scared out of their wits, and finally understanding, he followed my instructions while his eyes got very big.

I got the shotgun ready for action, then I tossed them each a flashlight and motioned for them to kill the lantern so the room would go dark. Quietly I told them to aim the lights at the door and wait for it to open. When it opened, they were to turn the lights on and I would be prepared to start blasting away.

I braced myself with the shotgun butted up against my shoulder. Just as we got in position and ready, I heard something I had only heard once before, and will never forget, the unforgettable sound of an alien speaking.

I tensed every muscle in my body, and prepared to defend my life, and the lives of the others, from the certain death that was almost in our home. The sounds grew closer and closer to the door and my heart raced faster and faster. In the dark, we could hear the squeak of the latch moving. My finger was poised on the trigger and ready to twitch.

Then the door burst open and the flashlights came on. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I fired three times, after which, nothing stood in the doorway and the ringing in our ears was the only sound in the room. Acrid smoke filled the area around us, lit by wildly shaking flashlights.

"Turn the lantern on!" I yelled.

The lantern slowly lit up the scene in front of us; a bloody mess was on the ground, for lying in the doorway to our safe room, we could see that I had shot an alien monster dead center in its torso, and now it lay dead. The younger boys were all three sitting together on the bed, still nude, and crying out of fear over what had just happened, and what was yet to come.

"Shh! Guys, quiet; there might be more. Chris, get the other guns and get ready, just in case," I said quietly.

Handing the lantern to AJ, Chris got up and grabbed three of the guns we had stockpiled, and gave one to each of the others. I walked up to the monstrosity with the gun barrel pointed at its head and gave it a swift kick. It didn't budge or move at all so I assumed it was dead, and went back to the boys. Lucky got up and went over to sniff at the corpse, then returned to us and sat whimpering softly. I gently stroked his head to calm him.

We sat in wait, just in case there were more of them to come. Minutes turned into hours as we sat with guns at the ready, waiting for another attempt on our lives. Finally, after about four hours, we agreed let our guard relax and settled on the idea that no more were coming.

"Boys, put some clothes on. We still might need to make a run for it. I want us to be ready if we do," I told them. That scared them all over again, so they did as I asked and dressed all the way, even with shoes.

I grabbed a few shotgun shells and reloaded my gun before grabbing a flashlight and heading into the mineshaft. I walked cautiously towards the entrance without turning the flashlight on, while waiting to see another monster. When I got there, the area seemed clear. I fervently hoped that this lone alien was just some sort of scout or hunter and that he was on his own. If that were the case, then maybe no more of them would come looking for him. Quickly, I re-set our alarm, re-secured the entrance to the mineshaft, and headed back to the safe room.

"Guys, I think we're safe for now; I don't see any signs that there were more of them. Let's drag this ugly fucker out of our home, and down the shaft a little way. We can deal with its body tomorrow. Right now, we need to get some rest," I told them.

Chris and AJ helped me pull the alien's surprisingly-light-for-its-size corpse out and into the mineshaft about 20 yards [18 m] or so away from our room. Josiah, still being injured, sat on the bed with a gun at the ready. We walked back into the room and he almost shot us.

"Dammit! Put that gun down; it's us!" AJ yelled at him.

I walked over to him and he handed me the gun, shaking, and then apologized. I shut the safe room door and used whatever I could find to jam it shut for the rest of the night, just in case something else came while we were trying to sleep. I could tell by now that Adam was barely able to keep his eyes open. He was sitting leaning against the wall next to the bed. I walked over to him and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Lie down, buddy, I know you're tired. Try to get some rest." He crawled onto the bed, stretched his slender body out on it, and in no time, was asleep.

I, too, was tired from everything I had been through in the last few days; from making the trip to Kingston, to finding and digging Adam out from under his home, to bringing him back here, and finally to killing the invader; all had sapped the energy from my young body. I was nearly exhausted, and now my shoulder hurt from the kick of the shotgun, and I had a headache from the noise of the gun. I got ready to lie down next to Adam so I could catch some sleep myself.

"How the hell can you sleep at a time like this?" Chris asked.

"Easy, I'm tired as hell," I said with a big yawn. "If there are any more of them, they'll have to break through the door to get in. If they start banging on it, we'll hear them, and then we'll be ready. If we have to, we'll kill every fucking one we can!" I told him. Then I yawned again and lay down next to Adam. I scooted up against him so that we were back to back, still fully dressed. Just like Adam, once I closed my eyes, I was out like a light. It seemed like only minutes had passed when the alarm on my watch went off, it being 6 a.m.

"Aw, fuck, already?" I moaned, as I shut the alarm off. I glanced over at the other boys, and saw that Josiah was still awake and staring at the door, with a gun at his side. Chris was sitting up with his head slumped over onto Joe's shoulder, sound asleep. They had tried to stay awake all night and keep guard for us, a truly noble effort for boys so young. I sat up and Joe looked over at me. I could tell he was tired. He had bags under his eyes and he looked exhausted. I got up and crawled around Adam and over to where the other boys were. I knew that Joe must have been more frightened than the rest of us since he was unable to run, or even to move very fast due to his injuries.

Resting my hand on Joe's shoulder, I told him softly, "I'm going to pick Chris up off your shoulder, then lay him down. Then I want you to crash out for a while, too. Thanks for keeping watch buddy," I told him, as I half-hugged him. As I broke the hug and pulled away, I gave him a small quick kiss on the cheek, which he seemed to like. Then I lifted Chris's head up off his shoulder and held him upright so Josiah could scoot away from him a bit. I held onto Chris's head and upper body while I pulled his legs out at the same time to force his body into a prone position, lying on the bed next to Adam.

As I was moving him, he didn't quite wake up, but he stirred and let out a whining sound like you'd hear from a young kid if you disturbed their sleep. Soon he was comfortable again, enough to be lightly snoring as he lay next to cute AJ.

"Hand me the gun, dude, then lie down and get some rest; I think it's ok now," I told Josiah. He handed me the gun then slid his body down on the blankets so that he was lying next to the other boys and immediately fell fast asleep.

I had a lot of work to do today, but first I had to shoot the golden arch from my dick on some trees. I called Lucky to follow me, and cautiously, we went to the mine entrance where we were greeted by a cloudy morning. I walked over to my usual tree while Lucky went to his. We both let the urine fly while I yawned. The interrupted night's rest had left me a bit tired.

We finished, but before we headed back in, Lucky sniffed all around the entrance, growling softly. He started to move further into the woods, but I called him back and we went inside where I got ready to deal with the dead alien in the mineshaft. Thoughts of how to dispose of its corpse ran through my mind. I thought about burning it, but the smoke might attract unwanted attention. Burying it seemed like the best course to take to get rid of it. When I got back to the safe room, I saw that AJ was awake and rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Good morning, sleepy head," I said quietly. He simply smiled and waved. God, those dimples! I continued, "Why don't you come to town with me today? We need to restock our supplies and you need some clothes of your own; you can't all three share Chris's clothes. We need to get you and Joe your own stuff to wear. Here, put these on. They're Chris's, but I don't think he'll mind as long as you're getting your own," I told him, and I handed him some of Chris's clothes to wear for the trip to town since he didn't have anything else to wear besides those stinky things he'd had on when I found him.

As he got dressed, he was extra careful while zipping up the shorts to make sure he didn't zip Mr. Happy up in them, OUCH! When he got to the shoes, he found that they were very much too small for him.

"Ok, problem; my feet are bigger than Chris's; his shoes won't fit me," he said.

I placed my foot next to his, and it was immediately apparent that my feet were much bigger. "My shoes would probably give you blisters in no time. Guess you'll have to go barefoot then. Just be careful," I said.

Looking him in the eye, I handed him a gun. "Just in case," I said to him seriously. He took it from me, looking at it with big eyes.

I grabbed the shotgun, and then woke Chris briefly to let him know what was going on. Once he was informed, he lay back down and went back to sleep next to Joe. Then AJ and I left for town.

This time, just as the previous times, we stashed the ATV in the woods at the edge of town, and then walked in cautiously, making sure it was clear to proceed. We walked on the alert, as usual, with the guns at the ready, scanning for anything that looked out of place. Nothing seemed to be different this time from the last, so we walked back and got the ATV and cart trailer so we wouldn't have to walk the five or six trips it would take to get all the stuff we needed.

First stop after fetching the ATV was Walmart to get the boys' clothes. We went straight for the Boys department and AJ picked out what he liked, including the Tasmanian Devil boxers he liked. Then we went to the shoe department and he got a pair of shoes that fit him.

"I wonder what size Josiah wears. He hasn't any clothes either, and he's definitely going to need some," I said.

"Well, that's easy; me and him, we use to wear each other's clothes all the time. We got the same shoe size, too," Adam answered. Since he had made it easy for me, I just went back and grabbed a bunch more shirts, shorts, pants, undies, and shoes in the same sizes that AJ had just grabbed.

Once we had their clothes squared away, I decided to just look around inside for things that might come in handy for us in our current situation. AJ found the electronics department and remembered looking at the games before the invasion.

"Hey, you know you can take whatever you want; no one's gonna turn you in for stealing," I told him.

He smiled, and grabbed a PSP [Play Station Portable] and as many games as he wanted. I grabbed one for Joe as well, so he wouldn't feel left out.

We pushed on into the store, and I thought about the car batteries we'd grabbed before that weren't going to keep a charge forever. We had no way of charging them, but that's when a moment of inspiration hit me.

"Come on," I said to AJ, as I raced off to the automotive department. I was looking for one thing in particular, and it just happened that there were some on the racks. I had found those solar powered cooling fans you put in the windows of your car in the summer to keep it cool when it's locked up. I figured we could rig them to charge our batteries somehow, so I grabbed all of them from the rack. I also took as much wire as I could find, as well, so we could keep the batteries out of sight while they were charging. Then we got a few other things from the store, like more blankets and more sleeping bags so we could expand our bed, then we headed out and loaded everything onto the ATV, and then left for the grocery store.

We went inside with guns at the ready, just in case, and checked the place out first. We decided it was all clear, so we both grabbed shopping carts and began to put things in them. I grabbed things we needed and things that would last us over time. Adam, on the other hand, being a typical 11-year-old, only grabbed junk food.

"Dude, we need stuff that won't go bad. Those chips are gonna get stale about a week after they're opened, so will the cookies," I told him, as I looked through the contents of his cart.

I grabbed things like canned food and dehydrated foods like soups and stuff. Seeing my point, he stopped grabbing junk food and helped me find things we could eat safely, over time.

"Hey Derrik," Adam giggled, "I think we need a broom; that cave floor is sure dusty," he said, being a smart ass.

"Yeah, and some glass cleaner, too; the windows are so dirty the light can't even get through," I said, laughing in return.

While we filled the carts, I grabbed something I knew we wouldn't have much chance of eating. I handed him an ice cream bar and I opened one for myself. He devoured his and grabbed another.

"Oh, god, that's great," he said, as he inhaled the second one, too. We pushed on through the store grabbing things as we headed for the door to load up the ATV and trailer.

"You think we got enough stuff?" AJ asked.

"Nope; there's always something else we need, that we won't get this time," I told him.

We loaded up the ATV with our food and supplies, and then I ran back into the store for one last thing, a few bags of ice for the coolers in the mine. I ran back out and tossed them on the back of the ATV, and then we tore off back to the mine. I was getting a little anxious about having left the other boys alone and asleep for so long.

It was nearly 10 a.m. and I figured the other boys ought to be awake by now so they could help us unload. I had taken a more direct route than usual, so only a short half hour later, the ATV was lugging the heavy load on it up the last little hill to the mine entrance. As we pulled up, AJ hopped off and opened the covering we had put over it, so I could pull our vehicle inside. As I was backing it in, I remembered the dead alien in the shaft.

"Damn, we still have to bury that fucker today. I hope you and Chris are up to helping me dig a hole for it," I told AJ. He smiled and nodded yes.

Just as I stopped the ATV and killed the engine, we heard the boys call out, "DERRIK! HELP!" from the safe room, sounding panicked. I looked at AJ, he looked at me, and we grabbed our guns and ran back to the room.

The door was wide open and the lanterns were burning brightly. I burst into the room, sweeping the shotgun from side to side, looking for another monster. What I saw was Chris and Josiah, huddling together, and holding each other in the corner of the room, naked. Apparently, they had woken up and decided to have a little fun while we were gone. I turned to my left to see what they were staring at, and froze in my tracks. Just then, AJ came into the room and looked to the left as well.

"Holy shit, they're real!" he said, sounding more astonished than scared, referring to the form lying on the ground just inside the room entrance.

Chapter 8
The Gray's Gifts

A heightened sense of my surroundings gripped me as I gazed at what lay on the floor of our safe room. Chris and Josiah were cowering in the corner of the room, naked, and shaking like leaves. AJ was standing there holding a gun, with his jaw hanging nearly to the floor in awe. I snapped out of my daze and raised my gun, pointed it ahead.

"AJ, cover me," I told him. "I'm gonna check it out."

I crept forward with my guard up and approached the pale form lying on the ground. I took the barrel of the gun and put it under the body, and rolled it over face up.

"Holy shit!" I said, echoing AJ.

"Is that what I think it is?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, I think so," I replied.

Pale, slightly off-white skin, large dark colored eyes, a small mouth, and abnormally large head compared to its body size, and smallish overall. It was an alien!

It wasn't one of the beastly creatures that had invaded our world; it was one of the kind we've heard rumors about for years that abducted people and did experiments on them, what some referred to as grays, due to their skin color. It seemed to have been hurt badly and didn't make any move to come at us. It just simply lay there breathing heavily.

"Come on, AJ, help me pull him over here," I said, indicating a blanket.

"No way, dude! What if he tries to vaporize us or some shit?" AJ whined.

"It'll be ok. I think it's hurt and needs our help," I replied.

Reluctantly, AJ let down his guard and helped me move the alien. Once we had it on the blanket, Chris and Joe, who had both put shorts on, came over by us, too. We all stood hovering over this alien's body, staring at it like the marvel that it was.

The alien moved, raising its hand, and gesturing for me to move down closer to it. I knelt down next to it and it took my hand. Instantly I felt as if my consciousness was being shared with the alien. Somehow it began to speak through me.

"Thank you, earthlings, for not destroying me. I fear I do not have much longer before I expire. I am a consultant from my world sent here to assess the future of humanity since your world was invaded. My ship was severely damaged and I was forced to evacuate it. I have been hunted by your invaders for days now. One in particular injured me severely enough that I will not survive. If you wish to survive the imminent destruction of your world, you must listen to my words now," it said.

I was hearing the words come from my own mouth but it was not me saying them. In making physical contact with me, the alien had somehow been able to take control of my body and was speaking through me. It went on to explain some things that it thought might be useful to us in the future. Then�

"As a final act of good faith to you humans, I will leave each of you with a gift," it said.

First, it pointed to AJ, and said through me, "You; take my hand." As AJ took the alien's hand, it said, "To you I give the gift of Sight Beyond Sight." Then AJ felt a surge of energy rush through his body, and his eyes began to experience a burning sensation. He let go of the alien's hand to rub them. "The pain will pass; it is temporary," it said.

Next, it pointed to Josiah, who took its hand, and it said, "To you I leave the ability of Living Health." Then Joe felt a sensation of strength and well-being build deep inside of him like nothing he had ever felt.

Then the alien took Chris's hand and told him, "For you, young earthling, I unlock the 'key' to Sensing Your Environment," and Chris began to feel his ears itch badly and hurt deep inside, and the inside of his nose burned way up in his sinuses. He fell to the ground sneezing and clutching his ears as if they were on fire.

Then the alien said to Chris, "I am sorry for the pain I cause you, young humans, but you will need these abilities if you are to defeat your invaders."

I had noticed that each time the alien had imparted its gift to one of us, I had felt a little shock flow from my hand to the alien's hand where they were clasped tightly together. It was almost as if a little of my energy flowed out and into the alien each time.

Lastly, it looked at me. "For you, through whom I speak, I leave the most precious gift of all. I 'unlock' the innermost, deepest Abilities of the Human Mind." Then I felt a surge of energy, that felt like being electrocuted, run through my body. It caused me pain, the likes of which I had never felt before in my life, and hoped never to feel again. The next thing I knew, I felt myself black out, and I collapsed to the floor.

"Derrik! Derrik! Are you ok?" I heard someone saying. As I began to regain consciousness, I opened my eyes to see Chris kneeling over me.

"Oh, god, that hurt. What the hell happened?" I asked.

"You passed out. Don't you remember?" he replied.

"No, the last thing I remember was feeling like I was being electrocuted," I answered.

You've been out cold for three hours, Joe replied.

"Wow, really? I was knocked out for three hours?" I asked Joe.

"I didn't say anything," Joe replied.

"I could have sworn I heard you say that," I said.

"No, I didn't say it, but I was thinking it," he replied, with a curious look on his face.

It was at that point I began to feel the inner workings of my mind turning on in deep levels that I hadn't even known existed. I had just tapped into Josiah's mind and knew exactly what he was thinking, as if he had said it out loud.

"That's so awesome, dude," AJ said, giggling. I glanced at him and was shocked at what I saw. His eyes had turned a dark color, like black onyxes from the bowels of hell itself. There were no whites left. They reminded me of our alien friend's eyes.

"Wow dude, your eyes are wild looking," I told him.

"Yeah, it's weird. I mean, I can see all kinds of strange things now. Like, I can go out into the mineshaft and see in the dark as if I was outside in the light. It's cool," he replied.

"Cool, so you can see at night and stuff now; that'll be a big help for us," I said. "What about you guys? What can you do now?" I asked.

"I can hear the slightest little pin drop now, and I can smell stuff, too. By the way, dude, you stink! You need a bath," Chris said, laughing.

"I have no idea what I can do yet," Josiah said, with a sad look.

Something from deep inside told me to say to him, "Joe, stand up and jump up and down."

"I can't, remember? My foot... " he started to say.

Interrupting him, I said, "Just do it," this time in a commanding tone.

He did as I said... and was astonished. "Holy crap! It doesn't hurt anymore," he said, amazed and happy.

"You don't get it, do you? It gave you the ability to heal yourself," I told him. "How is our new friend?" I asked, just now remembering it.

"Afraid it didn't make it," Chris answered, hanging his head a little. "Right after you passed out, it let go of your hand and then let out its last breath."

"Well, it definitely gave us some ammunition in the fight against those monsters. We have our eyes now," I said, looking over at AJ. "We have our ears and nose now," I said, referring to Chris's gifts with a wink to him, "and we have our own immortal boy," I said, looking up at Josiah. "Not to be bragging guys, but he gave us the most important gift of all, too, which is knowledge," I said to the boys.

"Knowledge? What do you mean?" AJ asked.

"Dude, he gave me knowledge of his people, and of ours. Stuff like, how we can use alien technology, if we get our hands on it. It's like my mind is going in a hundred different directions at once and I can keep track of all� " I stopped mid-sentence. Without any warning, I jumped up, grabbed a flashlight, and ran out into the mine with AJ running after me.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Going to the monster to check it for tech-gear," I replied.

"Wow, man, this is wild. I can see you like it's daylight in here," AJ said.

"Well, good, because I can't see shit without this light," I told him. Then I began to search the dead alien monster for any tech we could use. I took the first item off its utility belt that I saw.

What the heck is that? I sensed AJ thinking.

"I believe it's a data recorder," I told him, then pushed a few buttons on it, and it came on, projecting a hologram upward, showing some weird writing, but I could read it like it was plain English.

"What's it say?" AJ asked.

"It's a record of our alien friend back there. This monster was a tracker, and it was hunting the alien in our room. Seems like they don't like the little white dudes much; can't imagine why," I said sarcastically.

I looked further into the device and found out something else about our invaders. "This thing says that they are here to harvest food. Only bad thing is, we're the food," I told AJ, and I could hear him swallow deeply. "It's ok, dude. I think we have a whole lot better chance of making it now that our little friend in there helped us out," I told AJ, as I wrapped my arm around his shoulders.

I heard him thinking something that maybe I wasn't supposed to know about. He was thinking that he loved the feel of my touch on his shoulder, so I squeezed just a bit, then I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Then I heard him think, oh my gosh, I loved that.

I think that this new ability of mine to read minds is going to come in handy for us, especially for me. I grabbed another device off the monster and knew immediately what it was; the sensing device that the monsters used to look for signs of life in the area.

"What's that one for?" AJ asked.

"It's a kind of tracking device; it scans for life-signs and from what I can tell, it can't read through iron. That would explain why they didn't see me hiding in the furnace; plus, it only scans in a side-to-side motion. That's why they didn't find Josiah after he fell into that hole," I told him.

The monster had a few other things on it so I stripped it of all the still usable gear. Probably the most important device we got from it was its cloaking device. It projected a field around the user to render them invisible. I switched it on, but for some reason, it didn't work on AJ.

"Dude, I can still see you," he said. He and I walked back to the room and I went in first.

"Where's Derrik?" Chris asked.

"He's right there," AJ replied, pointing at me.

"Are you ok, Adam? There's no one there," Josiah said.

Then I switched the device off, revealing myself to the others.

"WOW!" Chris and Joe said together.

"You could see me with this thing turned on?" I asked AJ.

"Yeah; just like I see you right now," he answered.

"Well, well, it seems you have yet another ability, AJ; you can see those fuckers when they have their cloak activated, even if we can't," I said. He smiled, and I 'heard' the others thinking, cool.

"Well, guys, I don't mean to be a spoilsport, but we need to get our dead friend out of our home before it starts to decompose and stink," I told them. Chris and Joe both wrinkled their noses in eeuw-yuck expressions.

The four of us got up, picked up our small pale friend, and carried it out of the room and down into the mineshaft, setting it down by the dead monster.

"Doesn't seem right to leave it here next to this thing like this," Chris said.

"No, but we don't have much choice for now; it's too late to start digging outside. I don't care if we can sense those monsters coming now, I wouldn't want to have to fight them off if they came in force," I said.

With that agreed on, we walked back to our room with AJ leading the way, since he could see in the blackness. As we grew closer to the safe room, the light level increased and AJ began to squint, adjusting to the light level.

Now in our room, we all sat down and ate what dinner we could for the night, and made small talk about our new abilities, as if we were real life X-Men. While the boys sat and chatted, I studied the information in the monster's holographic device.

"Hey guys, it says in here that the monsters and the little pale-white dudes have been mortal enemies for years. Looks like the little white dudes have been studying us to help find a way to defeat the monsters. Guess we know now that they found some good stuff in us, don't we," I said, laughing about our abilities.

I sensed Chris thinking, Yeah, I'd love to have some good stuff inside my mouth right now. Then I glanced down at his stiffening dick. "Dude, come on, stop that. It's not fair," he said, once he saw me smiling at him. He knew I had heard his thoughts about having playtime.

"Well, tell you what, how about we all get naked and have a little fun? I think we deserve it after what we've been through in the last few days," I suggested.

"I don't know, dude. I mean, I'm pretty worn out after all this stuff today," AJ whined. In a way, I agreed with him, but since I had had a few hours nap after the alien zapped me, I was ok to stay up for a while longer.

"Ok, well, if you guys are tired, go ahead and crash. But I'm going to stay up for a while and see what else is in this information device. Maybe there's something in there that will give us an edge over the monsters," I told the others.

In total agreement with AJ, Joe gave out a great big yawn, and then rubbed his eyes. Evidently, the yawn was contagious since the other two yawned as well. Hours went by while the boys slept soundly, with Lucky at their feet, while I scanned through the device trying to find something that might be useful to us.

Finally, around 3 a.m., I decided to call it a night as well. I stripped my clothes off and slid my naked body under the covers next to AJ. He stirred only slightly as I draped my arm over him, and then he snuggled back up against me. Sleep took me faster than I'd expected.

As I slept, I had dreams unlike any I had ever had before. Otherworldly visions haunted me that night. There were scenes of the monsters decimating whole worlds in their quest for food and resources, visions of monstrous brutality to creatures that must be other alien species. Then there was the ultimate vision that ended up waking me from my sleep. I sat straight up in a cold sweat. The other three boys were already up and asked me if I was ok.

"Dude, are you alright? You were, like, having a nightmare or something," Chris asked me.

"Oh, fuck!" I said, as I tried to catch my breath. I reached for a shirt to wipe the sweat from my face. "I don't think it was a nightmare. I think it was more like visions of the past, or maybe a warning of the future," I told them. "It was so real, like I was actually there, but not like a dream. I was in space watching a planet that kinda looked like the Earth but then I saw the monster's spaceships flying away from it, and then the entire planet just blew up. I think it was another world that those things had invaded, and then destroyed when they were done with it," I told the boys, kind of freaking them out.

"Do you mean to say you think they're going to blow up the Earth?" Josiah asked, with a scared look.

"I dunno Joe, but I'd have to say it's a possibility," I replied. Turning pale, the boys all got a sick, fearful look on their faces.

When do you think it's going to happen? Chris thought, as I scanned his mind.

"I don't know Chris. It might be tomorrow and it might be a hundred years from now. I just don't know. I think the best thing we can do for now is to carry on with our lives and try to survive until we know something more. There's no sense in worrying about something that we don't know is going to happen for sure," I told them.

Seeing my point, they calmed down some then. I looked at my watch as I wiped the rest of the sweat from my body and saw that it was almost 7 a.m.

"Come on guys, let's get dressed, and get the hole dug outside before it gets too warm," I told them.

I stood up and stretched, and the boys laughed at my naked cock pointing straight at them. "Like you guys have never seen it hard before," I said, laughing along with them. I read their minds and knew exactly what they all thought about it. They all wanted to have fun but didn't want to tell the others just now.

"Ok, guys, tell you what, let's get the work done that we have to do and then we can hike down to the pond and take a dip," I suggested. "Since we can tell when those things are close I think it'll be safe enough to go out a bit further than usual."

The boys were all smiles, agreeing completely with me, so we all got dressed and then headed out into the mineshaft to retrieve the remains of the two aliens. We decided to just bury them both in one grave rather than dig two holes, in order to save our backs from aching. AJ and I carried the smaller alien out first, then we went back in and the four of us carried the monster out.

"Fuck, this thing stinks already," whined Chris.

"It's not the monster, it's the cave. You're smelling sulfur from the mine," I told him.

We dropped the monster outside the mine, and then Josiah kicked the corpse, hard. "That's for making me fall in that hole, you fucker!" he said as he kicked it.

Following suit, Chris did the same, saying, "Yeah, that's for invading Earth."

Then it was AJ's turn. "This is for our families, you alien bastard," he said, kicking it a few times, then he began to cry.

I could sense he was missing his family a lot, especially his little brother, whom he loved dearly. I draped an arm over his shoulder to comfort him, and he turned into me, wrapping his arms around me in a big hug, shuddering a little with his sobs, while I stroked his head. After a few minutes, he calmed down.

I didn't feel the need to bruise my toes, too, seeing as how I had already blown this thing away with the shotgun, and so we began to dig.

We dug two at a time to give the other two a chance to rest until the hole was about five feet [1½ m] deep or so. We pushed the monster in first, not being too gentle with the corpse. Once it was crammed into the hole, we lifted our alien friend, and placed it on top of the monster. Then we said our thanks and good-byes to it, with each giving it a quick touch on its head. All four of us then worked together to fill in the hole until the bodies were covered. We placed a large rock on top to mark where the bodies were, a gravestone of sorts.

Now that we had the bodies of the aliens disposed of, we went back into the mine to pack some supplies for the hike to the pond. We all packed some clean clothes, some food in a backpack, and we all grabbed a gun. Just for good measure, I grabbed the alien's cloaking device and tossed it in my pack, too. Chris put Lucky on his leash and we headed off to the pond, which was between the mine and the town.

As we walked along, we tried our best to keep quiet even though we could now tell when something was coming. I could 'hear' the simple thoughts of the occasional creature in the forest, and I noticed AJ glancing in the direction where I felt the contact, as if he could see the body heat, or something. Chris, too, seemed to hear or smell things new to him. Lucky, of course, had to pee on every tree he came to, as we made our way to the pond.

We finally reached the pond and began to strip. We were eager to jump in the water. All of us got naked at about the same time and began to run towards the pond to jump in when suddenly AJ yelled, "STOP! DON'T JUMP IN!"

That froze us in our tracks, with Chris grabbing Lucky.

"Why not?" Josiah asked.

"There's something wrong with the water; I can see it. I can't describe how or what I see but the water doesn't look right," AJ replied.

"He's right. I can smell something, and it's weird like it shouldn't be there," Chris said, using in his new super smeller.

I picked up a stick and stuck it in the water, which began to boil. All of our eyes grew large at the site of me pulling the stick out and seeing how its bark had been stripped off from where it had been in the water.

"Holy shit, it's like acid," I said. The four of us were in awe at how close we had come to ending our own lives horribly just now. "Good eyes, AJ. If we had jumped in there, we'd be dead now," I said, thanking him with a strong hug.

He smiled and squinted at me with his eerily dark eyes. The sun was almost too much for his sensitive eyes to take.

"Hey guys, since we're so close to town, let's walk on down there and just check things out. We can grab a few things we need, too," I said.

"Yeah, we're almost out of toilet paper," Chris said.

"Yeah, and I need to find some dark sunglasses, so I can see out here," AJ replied.

We all put our clothes back on and walked the rest of the way into town. A short time later, we arrived at the edge of the woods on the outskirts.

"You see anything, AJ?" I asked.

He opened his onyx-colored eyes as much as he could and scanned the area for anything not normal. "Looks ok from here," he said.

"Yeah, I don't hear anything, either," Chris said, using his super sensitive hearing.

Then I reached out with my mind, and I didn't sense anything abnormal either.

"Ok, guys, let's go," I said.

We walked through the decimated town that Chris and I had called home, and headed to the stores to get what we needed. AJ got his sunglasses, Josiah grabbed some food for us, and some dog food for Lucky. Chris got the much-needed TP, and I retrieved the gas can with some gas in it from the shed where we found the ATV. We were definitely going to need fuel since the ATV was running on fumes now.

With our packs stuffed, we headed back to the mine to get washed up and eat, and maybe even have a little fun afterwards. On the trek back to the mine, I took Lucky's leash, giving Chris a break for a while. We walked in pairs, side by side, with AJ and me in front, followed by Chris and Joe in back. AJ was on the lookout as we headed back while my mind was processing thoughts. I sensed Chris having a loving thought and then saw him move to take Josiah's hand in his, so they could hold hands as we walked along. Chris really did love Josiah more than as just a friend, and I knew that now. I turned to sneak a peek at them, and Chris noticed. I smiled and winked at him, and he knew I sensed what he was feeling. He really was in love with Joe.

Joe, however, had mixed emotions. He liked the contact with Chris, and he really liked the sex play, but he still wasn't sure if he was gay or not. Nonetheless, he kept holding Chris's hand.

AJ's mind was centered on watching for trouble, and thoughts of his little brother haunted him in the back of his mind.

"STOP!" Chris said sternly, but quietly. We all stopped and looked at him. "I hear something coming. It sounds like a ship," he said.

We all ran for cover in the trees and brush as fast as we could. While I was crouching down in the bushes, I suddenly remembered the cloaking device in my backpack. I took it out and told them, "Guys, get really close together, I mean like right on each other in a hug. I'm gonna turn this thing on, I just hope it works on all of us," I told them.

We all huddled close together, holding each other tightly, as I switched the device on with one hand and held the dog close with the other. The device came on, and we all disappeared from normal sight!

I could hear the ship getting closer and looked up to see the sunlight being blotted out by the massive object. This was certainly one of their bigger spaceships. AJ took his new sunglasses off and looked around. "I see a beam of some sort of light running over the town. It looks like they're scanning for something," he whispered.

I sensed something with my mind that I hadn't felt since the alien had been in contact with me, talking through me. "Guys, there's something else out there. I don't know what it is, though," I whispered.

AJ looked up in time to see another ship fly over at a high rate of speed, and it seemed to be disc shaped, just like the flying saucers of old that we have always heard about. AJ was the only one who could see this second ship, though, and so told us about it.

"Oh, FUCK!" he said. We were in the dark as to what he was concerned about, but then he said, "The monster's ship just shot it. It looks like its crashing that way," AJ said, pointing to the mountains in the opposite direction from where we were going. "You think it was more of the good aliens?" AJ asked.

"I don't know, could be," I answered, "it felt kind of like them."

The larger ship began to lumber off in the direction of the smaller ship, just as we felt a slight THUD in our feet.

"I think it just crashed. I heard it, but it's a long way away from us," Chris said.

Now that the ships were gone, I uncloaked us and we continued on to the mine. Had that been a good-alien ship that AJ had seen? Could there be survivors? Could there be tech in the wreckage that we could make use of? These thoughts ran through my mind repeatedly, as we walked home.

"Guys, I think that we're going to have to take a trip to find that crashed ship. There might be something there we can use, or need," said I to the group, "and there could be survivors that need our help," I added. Somewhat reluctantly, the boys agreed that we had to go.

"You're right, but right now all I want to do is get back to the mine. I'm starving," Josiah said, just as his belly growled. We snickered at the timing, but we had been gone all day, and it was already early evening.

We walked on and soon we were back at our makeshift home. We walked into the mine and dumped our gear, then unleashed Lucky. We all got ourselves something to eat, and then I stripped my clothes off. I had all eyes on my body as I took a wet rag and wiped the sweat off.

"You guys can always join me, you know," I said, sensing they were all watching me with rock hard cocks.

That was all the invitation Chris needed. He stripped naked and joined me in my rag bath. I washed his back off as his three-inch [8 cm] rod pointed away from his body. AJ smiled and then stripped as well. He walked over to his cousin and pulled him to his feet.

"Come on, Joey, it'll be fun," AJ said.

Josiah smiled and let his cousin unbutton his shorts for him. The boys continued undressing each other as I washed Chris's naked body off. When the others were naked, they walked over to Chris and me, so I began to wash all three boys at the same time. As I was washing Chris's back with one hand, I was washing AJ's chest with the other, and that's when I felt a hand encircle my hard 4 inches [10 cm]. I wasn't sure whose hand it was and I didn't care because it felt great. Only after reading their minds did I know it was AJ's fingers around my dick.

"That feels great, you know," I said in a low tone.

He smiled with his devil-like eyes, as my hand slid down from his chest to his hairless groin. I gently rubbed the tips of my fingers along the top of his stiff rod. That's when I noticed Chris and Joe in a lip-lock, kissing passionately. I leaned in by Chris's ear.

"Go for it, make each other feel great," I whispered to him. Chris led Josiah to the bed and gently forced him down without ever breaking their kiss.

I looked into AJ's exotic black eyes. Our faces grew closer and closer until our lips met in a light kiss. I sensed him thinking, oh my gosh, that's so good! as our lips touched lightly. I broke the kiss and smiled an evil grin at him. Sinking to my knees in front of him, I looked to the right around AJ, and saw the others already in a 69 position, sucking away at each other. I looked up at Adam's coal black eyes and he was smiling from ear to ear, waiting for what was to come. I opened my mouth and engulfed his stiff boy cock as he sighed with pleasure. I was finally going to finish what I had attempted before we were interrupted by the aliens.

I began slowly sucking on his stiff cock, as I heard the other boys sucking away, making slurping noises, and moaning. Then I let AJ experience some tongue play on the tip of his swollen dick. I whipped the tip with my tongue while I kept it in my mouth, sending him into overdrive.

"Oh, gosh, that's so great! Don't stop!" he moaned softly.

I tongue-lashed his piss-slit a minute more, before my hands found their way around to cup his tender butt cheeks. Once I had a good hold on his smooth buns, I began to slam his boy-staff in and out of my mouth at a fast rate. His hands wandered to the top and back of my head, I think more to steady him, rather than to guide my sucking. Almost there… I sensed him thinking, as he strained to hold back his orgasm. So, I began to suck at a fevered pace. He couldn't hold it back any longer and I felt his perfect dick pulsate and twitch in my mouth, as he moaned loudly.

"Oh, YES! OH! OH! AH! UUUUUNGGHHHHHH!" he uttered in spasmodic cadence, straining in his bliss. A few seconds later, he collapsed into my arms, exhausted, as I released his toy from my mouth, and stood up.

"Feel good?" I asked, speaking softly in his ear.

He smiled with his eyes closed, and nodded yes, while he was still half in orgasm land. Then I heard both of the other boys begin to moan deeply, as they were still sucking each other. It appeared they were both getting off at the same time.

As Adam lay in my arms, I couldn't help but rub his tender chest with my fingertips, making him smile. Then he opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Thanks! that was so awesome! I never thought it could feel so good," he said.

"Glad I could make it a good one for you," I replied. He hugged me and gave me another quick kiss on the cheek. Then we sat and watched as Chris and Josiah finish their fun. They each let the other's cock slide from their mouth with a popping sound. They both began to pant, breathing hard to catch their breath.

"How was it?" AJ asked.

"Great!" they both replied together, making AJ and I laugh.

Now that the younger boys had gotten their rocks off, I was content just to call it a night, but they weren't about to have any of that. Adam had regained enough composure to get up off me, and I went over to lie down by the other two boys on the bed. I laid down on the left with Joe in the middle and Chris on the right.

As I lay there with my still mostly hard cock pointing up I saw all three boys still looking at me and grinning. I sensed that all three had dirty intentions on their minds. In seconds, I was surrounded by three adorable, cute, naked boys, with Chris on my right, Josiah sitting by my feet, and AJ now kneeling to my left. I held out my arms to the boys in an invitation to join me in a big naughty group hug. They all did just that. They all lay down on the bed and snuggled up against me. The feeling of their naked bodies against mine seemed to change my mind about not wanting some cock attention as my dick began to stiffen up. Josiah's smooth tender body lying on top of me seemed to notice my hard-on first. He looked me in the eyes and smiled, then he sat up, straddling my thighs, as his boy-dick was now inches away from my own rock hard 4 inches [10 cm].

Within a second, I had three hands exploring and fondling my hairless cock and balls. I simply closed my eyes and let the boys go to work on me. My hands wandered down to find Chris and Adam's dicks now hard again. I began to rub them as they all three did to me. I sensed Chris had other things on his mind, though. I looked at him then, and said "Ok," as I read what he was thinking.

He smiled and said, "I thought you might want to do that."

The cousins Adam and Josiah looked at each other, puzzled. Chris got up and traded places with Josiah on my lap.

"This is what I was talking about, guys," Chris said, as he got up on his knees and pointed my hard cock at his love tunnel. He spit on his hand for lube, then wrapped it around my rigid cock. Once he was satisfied that I was slick enough, he began to slide down on my pole. Every little centimeter I slid into him was heaven. Adam and Josiah watched in amazement as they saw my dick disappear up into Chris's hole. A short time later, I was all the way inside of Chris, with my small sack resting against his crack. He began to rise up and sit back down rhythmically, riding on my dick like a jockey. It felt like heaven, since we hadn't done this in a while.

I rested my hands on his hips, guiding him up and down, as his sphincter pleasured my shaft. I soon moved both hands to his hard boy-dick and began to stroke him at the same pace as he was riding me. As I had let him impale himself on me, I had noticed the cousins moving to sit next to each other on our bed as they watched. I could sense Joe thinking, I wonder what that feels like. I also sensed Adam thinking, Man, I always wanted to try that, so I spoke for each of them, in between grunts.

"Try it, you two. Adam, Joe is wondering… what it feels like. Josiah, Adam wants to try it. Why don't you guys… try it together?"

They looked at each other and shrugged as if to say, why not. The only problem was, they didn't really know what to do.

"Ok guys, wait 'til we're done," I suggested, panting a little, as Chris began to ride faster and faster.

I could tell he was getting close to orgasm for the second time tonight. Less than a minute later, he moaned loudly, "Oh, FUCK!" as I felt his sphincter clamp down, hard, on my dick. That was all the extra urging I needed to send me over the edge, too. I felt the tension inside rise, as the contractions caused my dick to pulsate inside him, when I burst into my own dry orgasm.

"OH, GOD, CHRIS!" I yelled out, as I forced my dick in him as deeply as I could. He collapsed, lying on my chest in a sweaty heap, as I kept bucking in and out of him, finishing my orgasm off. Then I collapsed, too.

We lay there for a few minutes, sweating, and holding each other, as my cock went limp and slid out of his boy-pussy. He then looked directly into my eyes and smiled.

"Thanks, dude, that was great!" I told him, and I kissed him quickly. Then I smacked him on the butt to let him know to let me up. Now it was time to school the cousins a bit.

"Ok guys, you two ready for some real fun?" I asked.

They both smiled and Adam nodded, yes. They decided that since AJ was a few months older, he would get to go first, and Josiah would receive. I told Joe to lie on his back and raise his legs up by his chest. Then I had AJ get in between his legs, and on his knees. I got into position next to AJ to show him what to do. Since the boys were only about three inches [8 cm] long when hard, it wouldn't be much of a problem to just slide into each other without a lot of adjusting. I took my finger and rubbed it across Joe's pucker, making him shudder in delight.

I could hear him thinking, ok, that's new, and then I began to rub it and work my finger in slowly. It took no time for him to relax enough to slide my finger all the way in, finger fucking him. I sensed he was enjoying it so far. It was now time for the real test. I positioned AJ where his pecker was lined up with his cousin's sphincter. I took hold of his shaft half way down and maneuvered it as I told him to push forward gently.

He pushed a bit more, and the head of his smooth mushroom-shaped head slipped inside. Now that the head was in, I let go of his rock-hard dick and let him push in the rest of the way by himself. In seconds, Josiah's smooth ball sack was pressed against Adam's tight belly.

"You ok?" AJ asked his cousin.

Josiah smiled and said, "Oh, yeah, go ahead."

With my guidance, Adam began slowly to withdraw his boy meat 'til just before the head slid out, then push all the way back in. He did that a few times slowly, with me guiding him, until he got the rhythm down and was doing it on his own. He fucked him slowly, as his hand found its way down onto Joey's dick, and began to stroke him, just as I had for Chris.

Not long into the session, I read their minds. Oh my gosh, this feels better than I ever thought it would, AJ was thinking. Oh wow, it feels so good in me. I can't wait to do him next, Josiah thought. The boys loved boy on boy sex and wanted it more by the second. AJ's pace began to pick up, as he was now slamming his little cock in and out of his cousins' hole, and he was breathing heavily.

"Oh, god, Joey!" he moaned, loving the feeling.

Then, "UUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHHH," Josiah grunted, as his second orgasm hit, just from the feeling of his cousin's cock inside of him, hitting that oh-so-sweet spot.

As AJ felt the effect of his cousin's orgasm, he felt his dick being squeezed by Josiah's sphincter. A few more pumps in and out and he felt his own orgasm begin to wrack his body.

"OH, JOEYYYYYYYYY!" he screamed this time.

A few seconds later, AJ collapsed on top of his cousin, just as Chris had done on me. They held each other until they regained their senses. While holding each other, Adam slid out of his cousin's pucker, and now they were in a sweaty, loving, embrace.

"Thanks, bub, that was awesome," said AJ to his cousin, and he kissed him on the cheek.

"You guys up for switching now?" I asked. I already knew the answer, but I let them say it any way.

"No, I'm done for now. I can't do anymore," Joe said, exhausted.

"You sure? I'll let you, if you want to do me now," AJ said.

"Yeah, I'm too tired now. It felt really good, though. How about if I do you tomorrow? I don't think I got the energy to go again tonight," Josiah said.

AJ kissed him on the cheek again and agreed. They lay there for a while longer, just holding each other like what they were, the only blood family they had left.

Chris and I decided to wipe the sweat off our bodies while the other boys rested. As we cleaned ourselves up, I looked over and saw the cousins had fallen asleep, holding each other in a loving naked embrace. I knew right then that they would probably die for each other. They seemed more like brothers than cousins, and were even closer now, after tonight.

Chris noticed, too, and smiled. Then we decided to join the cousins in the bed. I turned the lantern off, then lay down on the left side of the bed, and snuggled up to Josiah's back, and Chris did the same on the other side with AJ. We pulled the covers up, and I felt Lucky lay down on the bed at our feet. We were truly exhausted and tired after today's events. I, for one, would have a hard time trying to find peaceful sleep tonight, but the others were soon snoozing like babies.
