Bella and Edward have met before, back in the 1930's. Bella is a Salvatore and is an 'old' kind of
vampire, although never got around to telling Edward. Now, over 70 years later, Bella is back as well as Edward. Will they love again, or will the love they once had be lost forever. Read to find out.
Banner made by Me
History Repeating
It was 1846 when my brother, Stefan Salvatore, and I were born, our other brother, Damon, was born in 1840. We were all killed in 1863 and brought back to life a month later. We are all now the older versions of vampires, the kind that burns in the sun and has fangs. Then there are new vampires, they don't burn in the sun and don't have fangs or the powers we have. We call them the newbies and we are the oldies. This is the story on how I fell in love with a newbie.
I stared out the window as my plane landed in Port Angeles, my new home for a couple decades. My brothers are currently living in Mystic Falls, Virginia, with their latest toy, Elena Gilbert. I feel so sorry for the girl, being tossed around by my brothers like a rag doll. She hasn't figured out it's all a game yet. I tried warning her, but she wouldn't listen to me, said Stefan wouldn't do that.
I used to live with them until the 1930s', that's when I met him. His name was Edward Cullen and it was love at first sight. We tried to ignore with the differences between us, he thought I was human, but it was impossible. Especially on my 18th birthday, which was really my 86th birthday. I was opening his mother and father's present to me when I accidentally cut myself, causing the youngest member, Emmett, to attack me. He was so quick that I didn't have time to react. I ended up getting hurt seriously, but of course it healed almost immediately.
Edward was convinced he was too dangerous for me, so he left me. After that I was in pain for many years. I went on the run and ended up killing many people and blaming it on gangs. The newspapers called it the gang decade (AN: I don't know if it was, this is just my imagination). Soon enough the newbies leaders, The Volturi, got involved and killed many of their kind thinking it was them, not my kind. That's when I realized it was time to stop and get a hold of my life. I went to live in Athens, Greece where I studied Greek mythology for 10 years. I then moved to Paris, France and got my masters in history; I remained there for 20 years. In the 1970s' I moved back to the United States, joined the Military, and became a general. I got my release in the 80s'and then roamed the country again, this time not killing. Throughout the 90s' I switched between living with my best friend Lexi and visiting my twin brother, Stefan, and my evil, overprotective, loving brother Damon. Then after that I decided to go back to school in Phoenix, Arizona. You may be wondering how I can go in the sun without burning, well I have a special ring. It was made for me in the 1860s' and protects me from the sun.
Now, after 80 years I'm back where Edward and I first met, Forks Washington.
Oh, oh, oh, how was I supposed to know that you were o-over me I think that I should go!
My alarm screamed out Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't) by All Time Low, telling me it was time for me to get up and get ready to go to school. I put on my shirt and some jeans and of course a ring that Damon gave me that was a snake, he says I am as fast and sneaky as a snake, and my Lapis Lazuli ring, and a gold necklace with a Pegasus on it. Edward had given me when he found out I loved Greek mythology. Gosh, I need to get over him; it was over 70 years ago.
I hoped nobody would recognize me; I looked the exact same although I had different hair.
Crap! It was 8:10; I have to be in school at 8:20! I ran at vampire speed to my silver Mustang and sped off to school.
"Edward! Come on, we are going to be late!" My sister Alice yelled at me from downstairs.
"Coming!" I yelled.
I ran downstairs grabbing the keys and heading out to the garage. Wow! It was 8:10; I'm going to be so late. When I got to the garage I saw my family already in the car waiting for me to get in. I finally got inside the car and turned on the ignition. Halfway there Rosalie said something that I would have never thought she would bring up.
"You were thinking about Bella, weren't you? That's why you were late getting to the car," Rose asked.
"What?" I asked surprised.
"You still miss her, don't you?" She replied.
"Rose, stop it. This isn't a good time," Emmett said.
That was the first time he ever sounded so serious. He should be serious about it, he almost killed her. That was over 70 years ago, she was dead now. My love, Bella Salvatore, was dead. The rest of the ride was very awkward and quiet. Finally we got to school and as I was about to pull into my regular spot some jerk, cut me off and stole my spot.
"What the hell?!" I yelled.
"Dude, calm down." Emmett said.
As if on cue I felt calm come over me and all the anger disappeared.
"Thanks Jasper," I said.
I found another spot and started walking to the front office when I saw something I thought I would never see again. Bella Salvatore was the jerk.
If you want updates just friend request me. I'm happy to update people on the story, and pleas tell your friends about this story.

Chapter 3
"Edward, what's wrong?" Alice asked.
"It's her, Bella. She's here." I whispered.
Small gasps erupted from my whole family.
"It's probably not her, she died years ago Edward. Your head is just messing with you," Rose stated.
My head began to wrap itself around the idea. It was probably just another brunette haired girl with dark brown eyes. Bella had been human, there was no way she could possibly still be alive, let alone look like a seventeen-year-old girl.
"We are going to be late, come on," Emmett said grabbing my arm.
This had to hurt for Emmett too. If it weren't for him my Bella would have been one of us by now; still alive not buried six feet underground. The first bell went of signaling one minute till first period started. We walked inside and went to our first class.
Classes went by slower than usual today, but soon enough it was time for lunch. Waiting outside of my class was Alice and Jasper. Both were hiding their thoughts from me and Jaspers eyes had gone from topaz to black.
"I'm going to take Jasper home. The new girl has a very interesting scent." Alice said whispering the last part so that I was the only I would hear.
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
"He needs to go home, now. Before he can attack her." Alice practically growled.
"I'll come too, school is unusually boring today." I said grabbing my jacket and binder from my locker.
"Fine," she said giving in.
After we all gathered our things and texted what was going on to Emmett and Rosalie we started towards the car.
"Going so soon," Mr. Greene said appearing in front of us.
"Jasper isn't feeling well so Edward and I were on our way to take him home," Alice smoothly lied.
Mr. Greene put his hand up to Jaspers forehead as if he were taking his temperature. This kid is fine, I would let them go, but after Emmett's little incident last Friday I think they should stay, he thought.
Great, all because Emmett had to be first in line to get Mac and Cheese, which makes no sense because he doesn't even eat human food, we weren't going to get to leave early.
"It's a lost cause, let's just go get food, Alice." I said giving her a look.
She quickly understood and began to pull Jasper back towards the cafeteria. I nodded at Mr. Greene and jogged back to Alice. When we reached the cafeteria Rosalie and Emmett were waiting for us by the door.
"Thought you guys were going to take off," Emmett questioned.
"Mr. Greene caught us and wouldn't let us go because of your Mac and Cheese incident," I hissed.
"Not my fault the school has awesome Mac and Cheese," he murmured.
"How would you even know?" I yelled frustrated.
He just shrugged and followed Alice and Jasper into the cafeteria. I stood there for a second longer and then headed inside. Walking in to the cafeteria was different today. There was a new scent, one that I knew like the back of my hand. I quickly turned my head and saw that the new girl was in fact Bella Salvatore.
Edward was here, that was the only thing I could think of when I first saw him. A few seconds after he walked in he turned his head and looked at me. The look in his face was obvious that he knew who I was, and was surprised to see me here, alive and well as a seventeen-year-old girl.
"Bella, you there?" Jessica asked shaking me.
"What?" I said irritated.
"As I was saying, this is Angela, her boyfriend Ben, Lauren, her boyfriend Tyler, Eric, and Mike. They're who usually sit here." She introduced.
"As I said before, I am Bella Salvatore." I said.
Lunch went on fine, yet it was hard for me to not to look at the Cullens. I could feel their stares on my back and I could sense the two new ones confusion. Jessica kept trying to explain that Edward was a lost cause and that she swore he was gay since he had turned down every girl at the school, including herself. I knew better than that. He probably was dating a girl living up in Alaska. I couldn't remember her name, but he often spoke of her and her several attempts to seduce him. That was back in the 30's, so she had had many decades to try and try again. By now she had probably succeeded.
Right now Mike, the boy with the shaggy blonde hair, was showing me the way to biology. Even though I knew route like the back of my hand, I was the new kid who had never been to this foreign place before. Once in the class everyone was seated, but me.
"Alright everyone, today we will be learning about cell respiration. Please open your books to 481 and try to follow along," he said writing in fury across the board.
"Mr. Banner, I don't have anywhere to sit, and I haven't been assigned my books yet," I said once he was done writing.
"Of course, I forgot you were coming today. Class this is Bella Salvatore, she will be in this class from now on so let's all welcome her open arms," Mr. Banner explained.
"Oh I would love to have her in my arms," a boy in the back said.
"Mr. Marks! Miss. Salvatore, take a seat next Edward. Edward, you know the drill." Mr. Banner scolded.
Edward slowly raised his hand never taking his eyes off me. It was like how we met the first time, only better. The first time we met was in the local park at the time. I was taking a stroll rereading Romeo and Juliet, and he was playing football with his brother. Not paying attention I walked right into in front of the football. Edward was there to help pick my things up, just like a young man should have been at that time in history. We discovered we went to school together and you can guess what happened from then on.
As I sat down I found Edward already had the page open and was pushed in the middle so that I could easily look on. Inside of the book was a folded piece of paper. I grabbed the paper and pulled in under the table to where Mr. Banner could not see.
Bella, we have to talk. Meet at my place after school? We are living at the same house.
I quickly responded. I knew you would say that, of course I will meet up with you. Looking forward to seeing Esme and Carlisle.
I passed the note back to Edward and watching as he folded it back up and stuffed it into his jeans. He looked at me and sent me one of his dazzling crooked smiles. Whenever we were going out he would intentionally smile at me like that to see how much he could distract me. It never failed to work.
Biology went on for what seemed forever, I had already learned this stuff a million times. I was distracted throughout the whole class by the thought of talking with Edward, I had some serious explaining to do and it would take a long time to explain.
My next class was gym and I wasn't looking forward to that either. Even though I'm a vampire and can easily do four times the amount of workouts they do, it was not easy to pretend to be out of breath and tired. I could become tired but only after hours and hours of constant work would I become tired.
"Bella! Do you want me to show you to the gym? It's my next class too," Mike offered. Something about this boy's personality resembled a golden retriever. Caring, sweet, loving, but could annoy the crap out of you.
"Sure Mike, lead the way." I said sarcastically.
Obviously he didn't catch on because he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and started leading me down the hall. I slowly took his arm off my shoulder and set it by his side. He looked at me as if I had committed murder. I shot him back a look that said, do it again and you're dead. He quickly backed off and kept his arm to himself.
In gym we had to practice our volleyball skills while the boys played a game of basketball. I never understood either game, they both seemed pointless yet so many people enjoyed it. Soon enough the torture was done and over with and it was time to go visit the Cullens. I ran and vampire speed to my car anxious to see Esme and Carlisle. They had always been the parents I never had. I started down the road to the house that belonged the man I was in love with.
A/N: No school today so I had time to write more. Updates should be slower than this from now on, but I'm no Alice so you never know. Anyways hope y'all enjoyed, it's not my favorite chapter, but sucky chapters are a necessary for a good story, I think. Review! Love y'all- Bella Willow
great chapter, love it!!!
another great chapter =)
it's too good..keep updated..

Spokane City Council Approves Budget
By Steve Jackson
Monday night the Spokane City Council voted 4-3 to freeze the city general fund budget, largely accepting the recommendations of Mayor David Condon.
Condon proposed a $161 million general fund, a budget that will eliminate19 police officer positions that were vacant. It cuts the on-duty firefighting force from 61 to 58 and removes the first-response firefighting capabilities of Fire Station 9 on the South Hill.
It also eliminates the arts, and weights and measures departments.
Councilmember Amber Waldref was one of the three council members who voted against the budget.
Waldref said she was disappointed council members also rejected a one percent property tax increase, saying that increase would have specifically gone to address public safety funding.
Councilmember Mike Fagan voted to approve the budget, pointing out that the city has more financial headaches on the way.
While Jon Snider was critical of giving pay increases to some administrators while at the same time making layoffs, Mayor Condon said many of those getting raises are taking on significantly more duties because of other management positions that were eliminated. He said seven management positions were eliminated by his budget.

The Ulu Camii or Great Mosque. A new building that - apart from the minaret - looks a lot like a modern cinema. And when one enters it has that aspect too: nice carpets, stairs leading up to the central room. It gives a feeling of luxury, and the ornamentation is of a high quality. It dates from 1997.
The doors to the main hall have great - traditional style - details.

Sales Management Trainee Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
Very thorough process consisting of 3 rounds of interviews. many of the questions are redundant but I think what they're really looking for is consistency and personality. The second round is the most rigorous consisting mostly of situational questions, "tell me about a time when..." they're looking for very specific examples so make sure you come prepared with lots of details.

Sales Management Trainee InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.Interview Details
I applied for the sales management trainee position. I received an email to set up a phone interview within a few days. The phone interview is just basic questions about your driving record and experience, and mostly explaining the position, hours and salary. They will stress the fact that you are expected to work at least 48 hours a week.
The first in-person interview was with human resources. She was very pleasant and made the interview go very well. She asked a lot of questions about how I would react to specific situations and wanted to get a general view of how well I could think critically and communicate. The interview lasted an hour. I did a lot of research on the company and wrote answers to several questions, so that I would have something to reference. In order to make it more natural, speak slowly, eye contact, and allow yourself some pauses so that it doesn't sound like you're reading off the answers you typed the night before. I could tell she was happy with the answers that I gave because she would smile and reiterate the points I hit on the nail. In the end, she explained the management trainee track and invited me to do a second interview. I called her back that day to let her know I wanted to move forward and sent a thank you email.
At the second interview, I went to the actual branch I would be working. I met with the area manager and branch manager. The branch manager asked me some questions and took me around. I met all of the employees and had a brief conversation with one of the them. Then, I was taken to the office where I was interviewed by both managers at the same time. They asked me SEVERAL questions, very similar to the first interview but more in depth. I could not read them very well and it was very intense but I answered all of the questions as best as possible. They explained more of what the job actual entailed and were very up front about the good and the bad. They told me they would get back to me. I was there for a little over 2 hours. I didn't get their cards so I did not send a follow-up email but I received a call two days later to set up the third interview. After the second interview, I felt much more relaxed because I'm sure they wouldn't send you to a third interview with the regional manager if they didn't feel confident that you were a good candidate.
The third interview was with the regional manager. He was very welcoming and made me very comfortable. He asked maybe only 1 interview-type questions. I assume he knew that I'd already been asked those questions already. He seemed to want to know who I really am and whether I would be a good fit for the company. Furthermore, he really wanted to make sure I was in it for the long haul. I answered him genuinely and showed my interest. He stopped at about 30 minutes and told me, he thought I would do well and offered me the position. I accepted and sent him and the HR manager thank you emails.
The interview process was very intense and took two weeks from beginning to end and everyone was very kind but straightforward. I didn't experience any intimidation tactics or mind games. Just be confident, do your research, anticipate questions, eye contact, show interest, speak clearly and relax!Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in July 2014.Interview Details
1st Interview you will meet with a Talent Acquisition Manager. You will basically review your resume and they may ask you about specifics of certain jobs you had held in the past. I was offered a second interview right on the spot.
2nd Interview- You will meet with a Area Manager and a Branch Manager at the possible site you will be working out. This process usually last about two hours. The first hour you can observe and make sure to ask a lot of questions. Many of the employees went through the same process that you are currently going through. The second hour of the interview will be the time where they really drill you about your resume. They will ask you for specific situations.
I would not say the interview is very difficult, but it is not easy either. They really want to make sure you can handle the difficulty of the sales position.
In the end I did not pursue a 3rd interview because the job did not align with my interests, but I have heard that the 3rd interview is with a regional VP and this is the time where they do background checks and try to learn more about your personality.Interview Questions

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months - interviewed at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in February 2014.Interview Details
Fairly extensive process that began at a college internship fair at my local university. I handed my resume to the table attendant at the fair and later received an email requesting a phone interview. After the phone interview with a woman in HR, she asked if I could then meet her a month later for a one on one interview. After asking some questions relating to my experience in sales and just comfortable questions about my life and experiences, she said they would like to schedule yet another interview another month later with my local branch manager which I have yet to have. Seems like it would be worth it in the end if offered a position.Interview Questions

Ruk, the Hero
Well, this campaign is winding down, and much has happened for Ruk. Figured I would update his appearance with the swanky new weapons and armor he has managed to obtain. He's also a bit scruffier as his beard has had some time to grow back, but it seems those shaving scars will never full heal.

Story Time!
**So, over the weekend I decided to try my had at writing a fantasy based, tentacle themed erotic story. Below is the result of my sick experiment. Hope you guys enjoy! :) **
Durgrin felt like he'd been following the pitch black tunnels of the Wild Dark for years now. In truth, it had only been a few days since he was cut off from the rest of his mining crew after the earthquake that had caused the cave-in, leaving him trapped, alone, on the wrong side of tons and tons of rubble and stone in an unexplored tunnel network.
The absolute darkness didn't bother Durgrin; the young dwarf's eyes saw the tunnel around and ahead of him as clearly as a human could see in a well lit room. It was the burning ache in his stout, muscular legs from his near constant march though the Wild Dark that bothered hm.
"Can't be much farther now," he said for what must have been the millionth time. Saying it aloud, filling the tomb-like silence around him with the sound of his own voice helped keep the panic at bay.
He knew through that strange sense, that unexplainable connection all dwarves had to the Stone, that he had been travelling in generally the right direction, back toward Radatharn, one of the seven Holds beneath the Rimespire Mountains that made up the Republic, and Durgrin's home. Frustratingly, however, none of the wild tunnels or passages he'd traversed yet had deposited him anywhere familiar.
The dwarf blamed his inexperience, his youth. At forty-five, Durgrin was just a few years into adulthood and only recently a full citizen. If he'd been a short lived human, he'd have appeared roughly in his early twenties with short cropped black hair, a full, shortly trimmed black beard, and crystalline green eyes. He'd only joined this gemzyte mining crew last year. Though it had done wonders for his body, strengthening and broadening his already burly arms, shoulders and torso, it had done little to expand his knowledge of the Deepdark. The crew stuck to well-known gemzyte deposits, seeing little need to strike out further so long as their established deposits remained productive.
Durgrin reached his calloused hand down to the small mithril flask at his hip, a gift from his father to celebrate his Majority Day, and took a quick, shallow sip of the lichen ale contained within. The potent brew just barely moistened his parched mouth and throat. The flask had less than half a finger's width of ale remaining. He'd be out of liquid soon and had yet to come upon any sources of water in his wanderings.
"Can't be much farther now." The millionth and first time.
As if the Immortal Stone itself had heard his words and taken them for a prayer, Durgrin caught the faintest tell-tale damp scent of water coming from farther up the tunnel. He quickened his pace, gritting his teeth against the surge of weary pain that spiked in his exhausted legs.
Not far ahead, the tunnel opened up into a modestly sized chamber. He heard the beautiful trickle of water almost immediately. There, off to one corner, a thin stream leaked from a small fissure in the ceiling.
A burst of renewed hope sent Durgrin running, splashing through ankle deep water across the cavern, ignoring the aching protests of his legs. He ran past a flat, rectangular stone table of some sort, barely registering its presence except to avoid it as he ran. Within moments, he stood directly underneath that blessedly cold little trickle.
Durgrin sighed as the dripping water wet his hair, then his upturned sweat and dust covered face. He opened his mouth, holding out his tongue to catch as much of the sweet water as possible, gulping down each refreshing mouthful.
He stood there for several long minutes, quenching his thirst. His desire for water sated, Durgrin stepped out from under the stream and shook his head back and forth like a hound, spraying droplets in every direction, and finally turned his gaze to fully survey his new surroundings.
Slowly walking the circumference of the cavern, he began to find the tell-tale signs of worked stone. This wasn't a natural cavern like he had blindly assumed at first, but some sort of unbelievably ancient ruin.
The floor of the chamber was flat, near as he could tell, though it had flooded to ankle deep. The leak in the ceiling must have been draining for decades, if not centuries, given the size of the chamber. The ceiling was natural, unworked stone and rose about twenty feet high.
The most peculiar thing about the chamber, however, was the long, low stone table that rested in its center. Durgrin guessed that it had been hewn from the living rock, perhaps a stalagmite back in whatever distant age that this chamber had been wild.
The young dwarf slowly circled the slab, gazing curiously at a series of horribly faded marks carved along its sides. Despite the terrible condition of the engravings, Durgrin was almost entirely certain they were no form of Dwarvish.
What was this place, he wondered. The slab vaguely resembled a somewhat larger version of the stone beds that the vast majority of the less wealthy citizens of Radatharn used, Durgrin included. The parallel suddenly drove home just how exhausted, in both mind and body, the young miner really was. He felt weariness seeping through him, just as the ankle deep water had seeped into his heavy boots.
The "bed" lacked basic cushioning and covering, not to mention anything resembling a pillow. Even so, after days of curling up on the rough Wild cavern ground, for a restless hour or two of troubled sleep, a flat and rubble-free surface looked like the most comfortable thing in the world.
He slid onto the waist high surface, bent forward and removed his thick leather boots with wet squelches, turning them over to drain the collected water. His hairy toes had shriveled into pale prunes.
He set his boots on the slab then lay back, stretching out his arms and legs. He let out a deep sigh which echoed briefly throughout the chamber, leaving only the soft, constant trickle of the leaking water.
The sound was soothing and Durgrin found his breath deepening, settling into a relaxed rhythm. He found himself gazing up at the ceiling and noted something odd.
Directly above the slab upon which he rested was a natural hole about as wide around as Durgrin was from shoulder to shoulder. He could tell the hole went deep, his dwarven eyes unable to pierce the blackness that loomed within. It made him anxious about what strange tunnels and passages he may have to traverse upon waking. He found himself longing for home and the simple comforts of his normal life.
The young dwarf rolled onto his side and curled up, resting his head upon his meaty forearm in place of a proper pillow. He closed his eyes and despite his surroundings, despite his situation, lost and alone in the Wild Dark, sleep soon overcame him.
He had no idea how much time had passed, but Durgrin slowly awoke to an odd tickling sensation upon his bare shoulder. Thinking it to be some kind of pesky cave insect, he groggily moved to swat the bug, or whatever vermin it was, away.
Instead of some wandering insect, Durgrin's hand swatted something heavy and dangling that swayed away from him. Confused, he swiveled his head, and his bleary eyes widened in surprise.
At first, he thought some kind of thick, bizarre vine or root had somehow snaked down the ceiling hole to brush against him while he slept. That is, until the sickly green thing twitched and swung back to brush Durgrin's shoulder again and began moving, its blunted and oddly puckered tip lightly running in questing circles over his bare skin.
His breathing quickened, eyes wide with fear. He had no idea what manner of beast this tentacle belonged to; only that he had no desire to find out.
Durgrin stared transfixed as the thing lightly explored the mound of his shoulder. He was frozen, his heart racing with instinctive, animal terror. The tip of the fleshy tentacle was warm and soft to the touch, that strange little pucker leaving a glistening trail of some clear fluid that reminded Durgrin of thick saliva wherever it touched.
A scraping, slithering sound ripped his eyes away from the tentacle grazing his shoulder and back up the hole above him. His breath caught as a second tentacle leisurely snaked out of the opening, its tip flicking at the air like a cave adder's tongue as it lowered, growing ever closer to where Durgrin lay.
It was too much, terror overwhelmed Durgrin all at once and like a frightened animal, he tried to bolt, tried to throw himself off the slab and run for the tunnels out of this cursed place, never looking back. One foot barely swung over the slab's side before the tentacles lashed out, quicker than striking serpents and wrapped his wrists in their viselike grips, pinning him back down onto the stone. He struggled feebly, but his arms might as well have been welded in place.
"No, please! Let me go!" he cried out, his voice echoing back at him.
The tentacles tightened slightly and Durgrin feared they meant to snap his bones. They simply held on, however. Firmly, yes, but not painfully, not crushing him. Adrenaline was surging through him and he kicked his bare feet out desperately. Two more fleshy tentacles slinked out of the ceiling, arched and hovered a brief moment before snapping around the thrashing dwarf's ankles, similarly pinning them so that he was held, arms above his head and legs flat and slightly spread.
His brow beaded with sweat and his powerful chest heaved, rising and falling rapidly as his breathed hissed out from between clenched teeth. He couldn't believe this was happening; this had to be a nightmare. He was still asleep he had to be! Please, Blessed Stone, let this be a nightmare! Let me wake up!
Durgrin watched in ever growing horror as a writhing mass of tentacles squirmed and swelled out of the hole above him, some thinner than the four that held him, others much thicker. They writhed in the air, their movements terrible and mesmerizing all at once. Slowly, two tentacles lowered towards him, swaying languidly. He tried to force himself flatter against the slab, unthinkingly trying to get back from those approaching limbs.
The two appendages lightly touched their tips to the exposed skin between the waist of his breeches and the bottom of his sweat-stained, sleeveless shirt. The soft touch brought a gasp from Durgrin. He feared that at any moment, the horrible things would plunge into his flesh, or perform some other horrible act to end his life. He gasped again as the tentacles instead slid up under his shirt, blindly slithering up over his abs and up onto his hairy chest, tickling him and causing him to shiver involuntarily in his bonds. The tentacles slithered over the firm mounds of his pecs, coiling and uncoiling around them.
To Durgrin's horror, he felt a stab of arousal as the tentacles under his shirt seemingly fondled him. But, that couldn't be right, could it? No, this was some mindless monster that at any moment would somehow devour him. The thought caused him to cry out when the questing tentacles suddenly convulsed, ripping his thin, tattered shirt from him, exposing his powerful body to the writhing mass above. Slowly they rose from him, hanging a few feet in the air, the bulk of the mass lowering and growing more still. Durgrin got the sick feeling that the thing was appraising him with some unknown sense. The whole mass suddenly shuddered, quivering, the four limbs holding him in place tightened slightly and then relaxed. They did not, however, let the dwarf go.
The puckers on tips of the two tentacles that had shredded Durgrin's shirt began to dilate and then contract, oozing that strange clear fluid. It beaded so thickly that it began to drip, warm droplets splattering onto the dwarf's exposed stomach. The main bulk of the tentacles began to writhe again, and the two dripping appendages lowered towards him. They lay against the flat of his belly and began to slither up once more, the tips leaving a glistening trail upon his skin. He shuddered with a mixture of revulsion and poorly suppressed pleasure at the sensation. They traced the lower curve of his pectoral muscles before sliding up to trace wet circles teasingly around his soft, pink nipples.
Durgrin shuddered again, inhaling sharply and arching his back against his will at the sudden pleasure. His deep inhale became a gasping moan and he convulsed as the puckers latched onto his nipples, sucking and tugging on them repeatedly, clear goo oozing out from the tentacle tips and dribbling down the sides of his pecs. They filled the cavern with an obscene slurping noise as they nursed upon the dwarf's sensitive nubs. His head lolled back and he groaned repeatedly, his horror momentarily forgotten by sheer pleasure.
He could feel his cock hardening, straining against the confining fabric of his breeches. It jumped in response to twin probing sensations entering the leg cuffs of his breeches and slithering over his hairy shins, up past his knees and further up along his thighs, causing goose bumps to explode over his skin. The two new tentacles that had invaded his pant-legs continued to squirm, sliding to his inner thighs and moistly caressing the sensitive skin it found there. The wet tip of one tentacle grazed the underside of his balls in its exploration and his cock jumped like it had been struck by a lightning bolt, pleasure shooting though his groin. The other tentacle took notice of his member and wrapped around the engorged organ, forcing a strained grunt from the dwarf. It began to flex and coil around the Durgrin's cock, slithering up and down.
Durgrin's back arched, and he tried to rock his pelvis into the tentacle's cock-fondling, but the two limbs holding his feet flat in place made it difficult. He was breathing heavily now, not in fear any longer, though that same animal panic still stirred faintly in the back of his mind, but from the pleasure being inflicted upon him. The fact that he was held at the mercy of this strange beast, helpless, only heightened his arousal. He allowed his eyes to close and rolled his head to the side, pressing his face against his firm bicep. He could smell his sweat in his armpit, mixed with the strange indescribable smell of the tentacles' juices oozing from their tips as they continued to mouth his nipples. The combination was overwhelming and he felt his balls tightening and his cock swelling as the fondling appendages brought him close to the brink of orgasm.
Durgrin's groans of pleasure transformed into a desperate whine as the tentacle encircling and massaging his cock retracted, leaving his member moist, but unfulfilled. His disappointment lasted only a moment before the two tentacles in his breeches convulsed sharply, ripping the pants to shreds and pulling the remnants from the startled dwarf. He now lay completely naked, exposed beneath that entrancing tangle of tentacles. He felt himself blush, his body flooding with shameful heat. Durgrin was no stranger to sex, but this was completely different, and the mixture of shame and wanton lust he felt at this moment had his thick cock hard as the very Stone that birthed his race, its heavy weight causing it to lie nearly flat against him, smearing his belly with his own precum.
He now had eight tentacles on his body, the four holding him pinned to the slab, the two suckling upon his nipples, and the two resting upon his thighs, slithering almost lazily. It was then that a new tentacle squeezed out from the main mass and lowered deliberately towards the dwarf's groin, its convulsing pucker copiously dripping with clear fluid. It arched down, the opening at its tip touching the head of his cock; circling around the smooth bulb and spreading its goo. Durgrin gasped at the slick touch, his cock twitching momentarily away from the tentacle before it snaked back to continue smearing the dwarf's member.
Just when the teasing was about to drive him mad, the pucker expanded and the tentacle forced itself down, squelching moistly as it sheathed Durgrin down to his base. The dwarf cried and then moaned as the tentacle took in his throbbing cock, its fluids glistening as it slid back, nearly releasing the member before plunging all the way back down into his curly black pubic hair. In a matter of moments, his balls were soaking with the tentacle's ooze as it fucked itself on him. The sloppy, wet sounds from his cock and nipples filled his ears, thundering in his brain. He writhed mindlessly as much as his bonds would allow, trying to rock his hips and buck his cock deeper into the slurping tentacle as it sucked his engorged member.
He wasn't prepared when his orgasm ripped its way out of him, almost painful in its ecstasy. He threw his head back, arching his back and crying out into the surrounding darkness. The tentacle hungrily slurped up his erupting seed, convulsing and pumping faster as it swallowed all he had to feed it. After what seemed like a short eternity, he slumped back against the slab, sweat and the tentacles' ooze coating his body as he took deep, ragged breaths, his eyes half closed.
The tentacles nursing his nipples continued their merciless pleasuring of his sensitive buds, but the limb that had milked his cock began to slowly, gently retreat from him, sliding wetly up his shaft and sparking pleasure through him as it slipped free, letting his spent, meaty cock slap down onto his belly. It continued to twitch and throb as some of the hardness left it. As the tentacle retracted back up into the main host, a transformation came over the whole as Durgrin peered up at them. The tentacles' color changed from a pale, sickly green to a deeper, more vibrant hue. The tentacles holding his wrists and ankles seemed to flex with renewed vigor. He watched, wondering if consuming his seed has caused this change in the beast. Somehow, it now seemed more vital, more alive.
Durgrin felt the two tentacles resting on his thigh shift, beginning to slide down to his knees where they wrapped around him, holding him like the others and then to forcing his legs upwards and spreading them open, exposing his balls, taint and quivering asshole to the creature. The cool air felt good on his goo slicked nether regions. Several thinner tentacles lowered and began to teasingly caress the firm twin globes of his ass. His whole body shuddered as the feather light touches traced slimy circles around his smooth butt cheeks, moving ever closer to the sensitive center.
The dwarf moaned and whimpered, once again pressing his face into his raised bicep and inhaling the heady scent of his own underarm musk. No one had ever paid attention to his ass before in lovemaking. The new sensations made his head swim, and to his surprise he found himself craving more. He tried to arch his ass higher up towards the tentacles and they responded, a particularly large and heavy specimen lowering and sliding under his back, propping him up, drawing him closer to them.
The smaller tentacles began tracing up and down the agonizingly sensitive crease between his ass cheeks, slicking it so heavily with their fluids that the slime began to run down his spine. He moaned loudly every time one of the slick limbs would brush against his tightly puckered ass hole. The tentacles that were clamped to his nipples began to pump more eagerly. He heaved his pecs up into them, an awkward movement considering how he was curled up on himself, but it seemed to urge them on, their suckling grew more and more intense, fluid continuing to dribble over and coat his admirably rounded chest muscles.
The small tentacles teasing his ass seemed to tire of his crease and moved their points to his hole, causing the dwarf to cry out as several slick tips began to prod and flick the outside of his tight knot. It puckered involuntarily and he heard it squelch with the tentacles' accumulated juices. He struggled to raise his ass higher towards the tentacle mass and the appendages holding his knees and ankles responded to him, raising him higher so that his hole was sticking straight up. "Do whatever you want with me," he sighed.
Durgrin continued to watch as a new tentacle, thicker than any he had yet seen emerged from the main tangle. It was about as thick as a human thigh, tapering down its length until it was about as wide as Durgrin's not-so-thin wrist, and seemed oddly stiff compared to these other pliable appendages. Its warm goop streamed down onto Durgrin's ass hole and flowed down his back. Once the tentacle was fully in view, it appeared different from the others and ended in what looked like a mushroom with a piss-slit, the blunt head was thick and perfectly circular, mounted on a rigid stalk that was ribbed all the way along its length. He immediately knew this to be some prodigious sex organ.
He gazed wide eyed at the revealed cock as it continued to drip a steady stream of its fluid onto his exposed hole. It twitched every now and then, poised to enter the dwarf, to fully consummate their aberrant union. His pulse quickened in worry and lust. He had never had anyone inside of him, not even his own fingers before. But, the continued erotic torment of his nipples, and the rush of this whole experience drowned out his fears.
"Yes! Stone, yes! Enter me," he moaned, having no idea if this writhing collection of tentacles could understand. He desperately hoped they could at least understand his intent. The dwarf's outer hole had already been liberally soaked and the small tentacles began to prod at it more forcefully, working the slime deeper into him.
A moment later, the bonds holding Durgrin tightened a bit more and he gave a surprised yelp as he was lifted bodily into the air and suspended underneath the wavering tentacles. Those holding his knees and ankles began to spread his legs farther apart, and a thick tentacle emerged to wrap firmly around the dwarf's midsection aiding to hold him aloft as the knee-binding tentacles pushed his legs back, fully exposing him once more.
The little tentacles had been prodding shallowly at his hole for a while now, but began to press even deeper, some tugging at the ring, gently trying to stretch it out for what was to come. The tentacles latched to his nipples sucked faster and harder. Durgrin was breathing heavily and moaning this entire time, though his eyes remained fixed on that otherworldly beautiful member hanging from among those tentacles. And then, it began to lower. The dwarf's eyes followed it until the head disappeared from view between his legs.
All at once, the little tentacles retreated, leaving his hole lubricated and stretched, contracting and expanding in anticipation. That's when he felt it, that soaking, blunt cock head pressing against his most sacred of entrances. Even prepared as the tentacles had tried to make him, Durgrin experienced a moment of panic. It still felt too big-
It popped into him with an obscene wet slurp and Durgrin threw his head back, screaming in shock, jolted by the weird mix of pain and pleasure as this aberrant cock slid into him a slow inch at a time. His ass hole felt like it was going to rip apart, the feeling extending to the dwarf's whole body as the creature shoved thirteen ribbed inches of itself steadily into him. His body shook and he tried desperately to get his ass to just relax, to accept this invasion, but it was all too much. It was a blessing when after a long while of simply resting, holding still within him, that the member began to slide out, pulling back gently, slowly.
Durgrin began to breathe a sigh of relief until suddenly his eyes went wide as the creature pumped its cock back into him, ramming itself deeper than before. To Durgrin's surprise, the discomfort slowly began to fade after the first few slow strokes of the massive penis. Soon, he found himself enjoying it, that lusciously ribbed cock began to slide easily in and out of his liberally slime lubricated hole, and the creature itself began to pick up its pace, probing in and out, faster and deeper. The dwarf was enjoying this, crying out in ecstasy with every thrust into his deepest reaches.
He had shut his eyes as the tentacled cock ravaged him, plunging him deep, hard, and fast. He was practically screaming with every movement the thing made as its head and shaft ribs rapidly massaged his prostate and the suckling puckers latched to his nipples like they were a part of his own body sucked and slurped and tugged furiously. It was all too much, and without any direct stimulation upon it, his cock exploded in another powerful orgasm, showering his chest and belly, and even lightly splattering his lips in his own hot cum.
That's when he felt the tentacles embracing and pleasuring him go rigid and a massive egg shaped lump rapidly traveled down the creature's penile tentacle. Durgrin felt a hot, wet eruption deep inside of him as another lump shot down after the first, then another, and another until he lost count, the creature mindlessly pumping its seed into the dwarf's ass. After the fifth or so spurt the tentacle's cum could no longer be contained and spilled heavily out of Durgrin with each successive spurt, splashing into the water below them. He didn't care; the blissful heat that was filling him, combined with his own orgasm had his head swimming, his thoughts a pointless blur.
It was more than Durgrin could handle, he felt darkness creeping in at the edges of his vision, the room around him and undulating tentacles above fading from sight, sound growing distant. His body went limp, muscles slackening as the appendages continued to hold him above the slab. His last memory before drifting from consciousness was the slow suction of the tentacle member unsheathing itself from deep within him.
His eyes flew open as he felt his whole body shaking, being jolted awake by a rough calloused hand on his naked shoulder.
"Durgrin! Can you hear me, boy," someone was yelling at him, the deep voice becoming more distinct as Durgrin returned to his senses. His eyes focused and the bearded face of a middle aged, flame haired dwarf filled his vision, the face pinched in concern.
"Anthal," Durgrin asked, his voice cracking as he spoke his crewmate's name. "What…? how...?" He felt the stone slab beneath his side where he lay curled up on himself and realized his was naked. He tried to sit up, but his thick arms felt weak as a newborn, shaking as it struggle to raise him up.
The dwarf, Anthal, slid his hand under Durgrin and helped right him. He winced suddenly as soreness lanced through his ass as he settled into a sitting position.
"Are you alright, boy? You're shivering. Goda, your coat! NOW!" Anthal held out his hand, and Durgrin's eyes followed. Several other dwarves stood behind Anthal, all of them looking worried for their newly found comrade. A brown haired dwarf slipped his long overcoat off and tossed in to Anthal's waiting hand, the ginger dwarf then draping it over Durgrin's naked frame, covering the younger dwarf's shame.
"H- How did you find me?"
Anthal chuckled with exasperation. "Well, it wasn't bloody easy! You should have stayed put, you cloud addled fool." He reached up with his meaty hand and tousled Durgrin's unwashed black hair. "Time enough for that later; let's just get you out of here." The red haired dwarf put his burly arm around the younger dwarf's shoulders and helped ease him to his feet, leading to rest of the waiting crew.
One of the other dwarves shoved a flask to Durgrin's lips and sharp smell of lichen ale filled his nostrils. "Drink up, lad!"
Durgrin drained the flask greedily, nodding his thanks as the other dwarf pulled it back. He felt several meaty hands slap him affectionately on the back as he was lead among them, guided back through the tunnel that had brought him here. He was saved. He was going home! He felt his lips pull in a wide smile, relief washing over him as he took comfort in the voices of his companions, in their presence, in the feel of Anthal's arm around him. He was no longer alone.
As they entered the tunnel, leaving this strange chamber behind, Durgrin couldn't help but steal a quick glance back over his shoulder, his eyes darting up to that yawning hole above the slab. He didn't waste time wondering if the whole thing had been a dream. He was naked as the day he'd been born, and his ass ached from the intrusion of that monstrous cock. He knew that it, all of it, had truly happened. To his shame, he felt a spike of sorrow for leaving. Despite the horror of this whole ordeal, he couldn't deny that he had loved every moment he'd spent at the mercy of those tentacles.

Have been contemplating the human heart;
how delicate it truly is ( Beautiful really,
when it opens like a flower to embrace itself)...
But what is it made of? Not the one that pumps blood thru
our bodies, but the ethereal heart; what does it consists of?
i think of the many stories of people who have died and
come back; how they say they go towards the light and feel
immersed in cosmic love. Are they walking right into the heart
of consciousness? And could the heart of consciousness be the
heart of God? And is that what our hearts are made of too?
Are they one and the same; Heart and Consciousness?
Consciousness and God? Is that the God that is within?
Think about it? When we are feeling our hearts, what is the
heart essentially? Where are those feelings coming from?
Again i think of how delicate the heart is; my own heart in
particular. i remember once i said to Brit "some things we just
don't get over". Like for instance, my father (among many fine
outstanding attributes) was a pedophile and that caused great
damage to my heart. i truly believe i am quite content today
flying solo as a result. Now Shirley would say i created it all in
order to navigate thru it all to arrive at just this place of
contentment. But while that notion resonates with me, it also
prompts me to wonder just how far back the damage goes?
How many lifetimes back does it go?
Or is it that we are all one heart and the damage is collective
for the myriad reasons; from the myriad harmful things
happening all at once? And what we feel in our hearts is
every heart. Perhaps that's what empathy truly is? Feeling
the cosmic heart.
You may say to me you don't have these troubles; your heart
is fine. and that's fine.
But what i'm realizing is (tho i am at peace and quite content
with myself these days) my heart is still broken and has been for
a very long time. Just an observation. No prayers please. i'm fine.
But if you should be inclined to share some revelation you have
about your own heart? or some revelation you have about the
cosmic heart? Well now, that would be grand. Soft Grin...
Joy and Light,
((((((( A Wish for All )))))))
