Well, I haven't had many people replying about the first story I posted, 'Dragon', but what I have had is good. I hope you all enjoy this one too. It /does/ contain explicit scenes of sex between late-teens.

Stories: Part One of 'Rite Of Passage'

It was a warm summer's night when fifteen year old Dave Wheeler

made his nervous first appearance at a meeting of the Secret

Moonlight Society. By tradition, the meetings always took place at

midnight, and so he came to be approaching the allotted meeting place

at a quarter to twelve.

He stumbled through the quiet wood, flicking his torch-beam from

side to side across the leafmould beneath his feet. He searched for

any hint of the flickering campfire which he knew to be somewhere in

the night. His heart beat swiftly, a clammy sweat oozing from his

palms and slicking the knurled barrel of his torch.

The weight of the heavy torch was comforting in his hand. It was

one of those big American jobs which double up as a club if the

circumstances require it. He started as an owl hooted mournfully off

to his right, and he jerked his torch over in that direction as his

heart and lungs went into overdrive.

He stood silently for a moment, and his stuttering heart finally

eased itself back into its normal rhythm. As the thundering of the

blood in his ears grew quieter, Dave thought he could hear muttered

conversation to his left. Dave sighed in relief and switched his

torch off, straining eyes through the gloom as he waited for them to

adjust to the scant moonlight which filtered down through the dense

foliage.

There, just a few yards away, he could see a faint light

flickering through the wood, between the gnarled and twisted trees.

He smiled lopsidedly, realising that he'd almost found the meeting

place. He switched the torch back on, in order to proceed more

safely through the wood. Before long, he could hear the soft voices

more distinctly, and he could see enough with the light of the fire

to switch his torch off again.

'Halt... Who goes there?' enquired a voice echoingly. Dave gulped,

steeling himself to answer the traditional challenge.

'D..Dave Wheeler.' he answered nervously. There was a small pause,

and then the voice spoke again.

'Speak the password.' the voice instructed sombrely

Dave wrestled with the pronunciation, wondering why in hell the

Society had chosen such a strange word for the password.

'Ou..Ouroboros.' he finally uttered. The voice, which sounded as

though it belonged to an adolescent boy, laughed and spoke again.

'Pass friend, and welcome to the Society.'

Dave muttered in gratitude, and wandered towards the clearing. He

could see the fire burning brightly, and hurried his pace. He

brushed between two ancient and mossy oaks, and finally joined a

Meeting of the Society.

Around the stone-rimmed fire sat six boys of around Dave's own

age, a few of them perhaps a little older. Dave recognised a couple

of the guys from school, including his friend Sam, who'd introduced

him to the Society.

Sam Winters stood up, and waved to Dave. 'Hiya, Dave. Let me

introduce you to the other members of the Society.' Dave nodded,

and smiled to each boy as Sam gestured to him, supplying names to

go with the faces. 'That's John, this is Joe, this here is Rich,

that's Jake, and last but not least, I'd like to introduce Brian.'

Each of the boys nodded and grinned as they were introduced to the

latest member of the Society. 'Everyone, meet Dave.' Sam ended the

introductions, gesturing for Dave to sit on the patch of ground to

his left. John, the eldest of the group spoke in a quiet yet clear

voice. 'I now declare this meeting of the Secret Moonlight Society

open.'

John looked around the circle of attentive boys. 'As Chairman of

the Society, I shall tell the first tale, and then we shall proceed

clockwise around the table as is usual.'

So saying, he plucked a handful of a whitish powder from a small

leather bag which lay at his feet. Wordlessly, he cast the powder

into the fire, causing a bright white flare. In the unnatural light,

strange forms and shadows seemed to caper gleefully in the clearing.

Then, as the fire died back down to normalcy, John began to tell

his tale. He spoke in a solemn voice, his tone carrying well across

the crackling fire. Dave guessed that John was about eighteen, a

tall lad with blond hair and green eyes. As he listened to the adept

speaker, Dave became enthralled by the unfolding story.

'Once, when the world was young and power thrummed yet in nature,

there was a man who wished to live forever. He was a dangerous fool,

and in order to fulfil his desire, he made a pact with the skulking

evil which even now lurks within the shadowy hearts of mortal men.

'He was granted his one unholy desire. Upon his death, this

foolish seeker of immortality rose once more to stain the Earth with

his dark presence. His was the power of Darkness, his strength vast.

And yet he was doomed never to view the pure rays of the cleansing

sun whilst he lived as an undead monster. His immortality was his

blessing and most of all his curse. For the immortality which he had

so craved came at the price of blood. Gallons of mortal blood,

several kills each night, the blood of mere beasts unable to sustain

his unholy flame of life.

'Without the blood, he became unto a walking corpse, his skin

withered and dry like ancient parchment. His eyes sank into the

long-toothed skull, his hands became feeble and twisted claws. Ahh,

truly the blood was the life, and so he cursed his maker for his

dark life. And yet, he was not willing to lose the immortality which

he had given so much for.

'And so, this first Vampire wept tears of blood as he drank from

human vessels in order to maintain his youth and power. He could not

limit the amount of blood he stole from his victims, falling into a

blood frenzy until his victims were entirely drained of their vitae.

Each bloodless corpse rose as did he, a legion of undead which

spread through the globe, a legion of darkness and horror.'

John paused for a moment, his luminous green eyes flickering over

each of the boys. 'What very few people realise,' he continued

menacingly, 'is that Vampires still exist to this very day. In a

small town somewhere in the American Midwest, people began to die in

strange circumstances. Autopsies revealed that the victims had been

almost totally drained of blood. The only clue to their deaths was a

small pair of pinpricks, directly over the jugular vein...

'But my story does not end there. A few days after the burial of

each victim, their tombs were desecrated, opened to the outside

world. The official report drew the logical conclusion... that some

sick person had stolen the corpses for their own personal amusement.

What the official report didn't state was the chilling fact that the

tombs had been broken from the inside!' He hissed this last,

injecting the notion full of menace and horror.

'Before long, the town became deserted, all of the residents

either dead or fled. But by night, the undead population rose from

their places of daylight refuge, spreading the curse of the leech

further and further afield.' He paused again, smiling maliciously.

'For all you know,' he whispered sombrely 'I could be one of

them....'

His story finished, John passed the pouch of powder to Joe.

'W..wow.' Sam breathed uneasily. 'That was some story!' The rest of

the boys muttered their agreement. Joe cleared his throat, preparing

to cast his powder on the fire and begin his tale. Dave found that

he couldn't turn his gaze away from the next storyteller. He'd seen

him at school, and knew that Joe was a year older than himself. This was

the first time he'd really met the guy socially, however, and he

couldn't help but get a guilty erection at the sight of the guy.

He was shirtless, as it was a warm night, and the fire had raised

small beads of sweat on his smooth, tanned, skin. There was hardly

an ounce of fat on him, his muscles prominent and sleek.

Dave found his gaze travelling down Joe's body, his eyes lingering

at the perfectly sculpted abdomen, as he wished that he could caress

the shallow navel with the very tip of his tongue. His gaze

travelled down further still, and he saw a slight bulge in the

crotch of Joe's cutoff jeans. His smoothly tanned legs were muscular

and lithe, tapering down to sockless ankles inside spotless white

trainers, which Dave found incredibly alluring.

He looked up at the perfect body, drinking in Joe's face like a

man dying of thirst. His eyes were soulful and brown, his hair a

wonderful shade of charcoal black. In an extremely appealing

gesture, Joe absently brushed the loose fringe out of his eyes. His

nose was thin and perfectly formed, his teeth white and even. To

Dave's mind, he was fantastically handsome.

Then their eyes met, and a jolt of excitement passed through Dave

as Joe winked and then glanced down at Dave's crotch. He smiled, and

Dave felt his erection throbbing gently. "Nah, who am I trying to

kid?" he thought. "There's no way a good looking guy like him would

be interested in me, even if he was gay." In Dave's opinion, he was

too tall and lanky, too scrawny. He was all arms and legs, a

gangling youth with a mop of blond hair and clear blue eyes. In

actual fact, Dave had a pretty good figure. Not as muscular as Joe,

but not exactly a stick insect either. Joe grinned again, feeling

the same desire for Dave that Dave was feeling for him. But how to

let him know he was interested?

Joe cast his powder onto the crackling fire, and the flash of

white light made his eyes glimmer mischievously, glinting from his

smooth skin and sweaty black hair. Dave found his erection growing

even harder yet as Joe began his tale in a wonderfully smooth tenor.

'Three guys, about the same age as Dave and me went camping once,

in a place very much like this. It wasn't very far from the village

where they all lived, but it was far enough for the whole trip to

seem like an adventure to them. They pitched their tent as dusk fell

on the first day, finishing the erection by the light of the full

moon.

'They played around for a while, and then dined on sausages cooked

over the open fire.' Dave noticed that Joe had a slight Somerset

accent. In fact, he found his voice extremely sexy.... 'Well, after

supper,' Joe continued, 'they finally went to sleep, all of them

snuggled together in one huge sleeping bag.' Dave pictured himself

in a sleeping bag with Joe, and his penis began to ooze gently.

'They were all naked,' Joe went on, 'because they were all very good

friends and they loved to have fun and mess around with each other.

Their hot skin felt good next to each other as they went to sleep.'

Dave looked around the rest of the circle, and notice looks of

distaste from Rich and Brian. He pondered for a moment. All this

stuff about guys messing around? Joe almost /had/ to be gay! Dave's

heart beat rapidly at the thought. Joe caught Dave's looks as he

continued to spin the tale, and winked meaningfully.

'At around two in the morning, the guys were woken by a hideous

howling. Ben slipped his hand onto the large silver crucifix that

his mother always made him wear, muttering a small prayer. His wide

open eyes were already scanning the tent as the other two woke

moments after him, shivering at the terrible howling noise. The

three naked boys huddled together for warmth in the chill of the

night and their fear, as the spine tingling howl ululated through

the crisp night air. "I think it's getting closer!" exclaimed Steve.

biting his bottom lip in fear. They remained huddled closely

together, as whatever made the howling grew closer.....'

'Then, without warning, a growl was heard right outside the tent!'

Joe paused, the tension in his tale as taut as a tightrope. 'The

tent canvas was swiftly rent apart, as a huge brindled wolf lunged

at the three boys! It went straight for Ben, as Steve lost control

of his bladder in fear. Instinctively, Ben raised his arm to protect

himself.

'The wolf's eyes glowed redly in the darkness as its slavering

jaws reached out for the young man. He held his crucifix at arm's

length, in an instinctive show of faith. By a miracle of

coincidence, or perhaps just a miracle, the wolf impaled its eye on

the silver cross. A hideous stench of burning filled the tent, and

a mixture of blood and ichor spattered from the ruined orb. The

massive wolf left the tent at a lurching run, still howling as if in

pain. After a while, all was silent, and the three naked boys

huddled together, sobbing in the urine stained sleeping bag.'

There he was again! Mentioning the nakedness! Dave was sure that

Joe was trying to drop a hint. 'But the worst part of the boys

misadventure was yet to come. As the badly frightened lads walked

home, subdued, the next morning, Ben tripped and fell over an object

which had been concealed by a dip in the path. He turned back to see

what it was that caused his fall, and screamed. It was his mother.

Naked. Dead. And she only had one eye.....'

Everyone congratulated Joe on his story. Dave caught his eye

again, and they traded meaningful winks. The bag of powder was

passed to Rich, and the now familiar burst of light filled the wood.

Rich began his story in a youthful voice, doing his best to sound

like Vincent Price.

'There are many tales concerning the undead. Legends of Zombies,

Vampires, Ghouls and sinister liches are delightfully creepy, making

us shudder at the cold horror of them.' He paused, licking his

lips briefly before continuing in a voice which was full of menace

and barely discernible over the crackling of the fire. 'But there

are other types of undead, some of which are even more dangerous

than the dreaded Vampire....

'Many years ago, when the Egyptian Valley of the Kings had barely

been raped by the greedy archaeologists, and the ancient mummies

were as yet slumbering in their stately tombs, an ambitious

Egyptologist was abroad in the desert like a wandering dervish. His

name was Al Khassim, and a greater cur and despot never lived. He

treated his assistants as little more than slaves, continuing to work

for him only out of fear. His burning ambition meant that no

desecration was too unholy in his quest for a legendary hidden tomb.

'The existence of this wondrous monument to a dead Pharaoh had

been described in ancient legend, and this most unscrupulous of

Egyptologists had decided that the honour of its discovery must be

his, no matter how many people had to die if they got in his way. He

felt that he was growing ever closer to the object of his feverish

search. One sun scorched day, he had his assistants dig once more in

the location he was sure of in his heart. After his men had been

digging for a number of hours, his black heart was quickened by the

dull sheen of sand pitted electrum. "Faster, you lazy curs!" he

instructed his toiling diggers, mopping his feverishly excited brow

with a red silk kerchief.

'The uncovered patch of electrum soon expanded, and to the

excitement of Khassim, revealed to be the capstone of a massive

pyramid. Khassim had found his target at last.

'Time passed. Several days later, a pathway had been excavated

through the golden sand. The sealed entryway to the monument had

finally been exposed at the bottom of the pit-like dig. A ladder led

down to the huge stone doors, flanked on either side by the huge

sand piles which had been concealing the pitted and scarred

pyramid.' Rich paused for effect, allowing the image of the

monstrous stone monument to linger in their young imaginations.

'Khassim sent his assistants away, unwilling to share the glory of

"his" discovery with anyone else. He descended to the bottom of the

excavated valley, as the desert wind puffed fine sand and grit into

his bushy black eyebrows. His eyes glinted with pride and joy, as

the fruit of several murders and incalculable bribes fell at last

into his outstretched hands. His trembling fingers touched the

hieroglyphs on the portal, stone carvings which had endured the

millennia.' With a sudden rush of flame, Rich cast a second pinch of

the powder onto the fire. He shouted: 'Pain! Incredible pain!

Searing pain shooting through the outstretched fingers which touched

the hieroglyphics.'

Everyone in the Society jumped as the fire seared white, and Rich

continued smoothly with his story. 'Khassim was flung backwards in a

burst of crackling energy which exploded from the seal, and before

his half blinded eyes he could see an afterimage of the fiery

sigils. It was a curse, a warning, offering a hideous fate for any

fool who should happen to break the seal and desecrate the tomb. As

his vision cleared, Khassim dusted himself off. "Curse, my foot...."

he growled, grabbing an axe as sparks shone from his eyes. With a

muttered curse of his own, he swung the axe at the seal. With a

sound like that of rolling thunder, the seal broke cleanly into two

halves, and the door which led deep into the crypt swung slowly

inwards.

'With an oil lamp for his scant illumination, Khassim ventured

further into the cool, dry tomb. His avaricious dreams were more

than met by the fabulous panoply of priceless treasures, some of

which Khassim would have killed for alone. His joy was only

partially overshadowed by the presence of continued curses against

desecrators.' Rich wet his lips with a can of Coke, leaving them

glistening in the firelight as he continued with his tale of grave

robbery. 'A few moments after he had entered the third chamber of

the tomb, his lantern was snuffed by an unfelt breeze.

'Khassim paused in the airless darkness, attempting to re-light his

lantern. "Gas!" he thought to himself, thinking of the dung-traps

which were used to produce deadly carbon dioxide traps in

some pyramids. But no, he could breath perfectly well, he just

couldn't light the lantern. Even worse, each match he lit did not

dissipate the gloom by the tiniest amount. Khassim's heart started

to clench in fear. He frantically tried once more to light the lamp,

but soon realised the futility of his actions. Angrily, he hurled

the lamp away.

'Nothing.'

He paused for a moment. 'Nothing, when there should have been the

sound of a glass and iron lamp shattering into pieces against an

impenetrable stone wall! The Egyptologist felt a cold shiver of fear

run down his spine as a pair of orbs glowed green in the

preternatural darkness. He felt his bladder relax and felt the warm

stream of urine as it flowed down his leg. A hissing sound

sussurated in the pitch-blackness. "Dooooooooooooomed...." The voice

came echoing in the dark and formless void in which Khassim found

himself trapped. With a faint gibbering sound, Khassim realised that

something frightful was moving towards him like a dark and

unstoppable train. He caught a glimpse of those green glowing eyes,

and felt the slashing of ancient claws as the dust of eternity

drifted onto his half-open lips. He felt himself sinking into the

dark black waters of death...

'A huge desert storm erupted that night, completely burying the

pyramid. Although a thorough search was made, neither Khassim nor

the pyramid were ever seen again....'

The society murmured its appreciation of the story, as the powder

was passed on to Jake. Jake was about fourteen, at Dave's guess, a

slight youth with fine blond hair and blue-green eyes. He would have

been more attractive, thought Dave, if he wasn't permanently

frowning.

The fire flared once more, and Jake began his tale in a high

adolescent voice. 'There have been tales of strange creatures in the

world's seas for many years. Giant serpents which undulate beneath

the waves, cruising under the cold oceans. During the second world

war, our valiant submarines fought a clandestine war against German

U-boats and shipping in the Atlantic and Pacific. It was a dangerous

job, and the submariners were some of the most respected and medal

endowed members of the Royal Navy.

'The Royal Naval submarine HMS Narwhal was on patrol during the

winter of 1943. The Atlantic was bitterly cold due to frosty winds

blowing from the icecaps, and when it surfaced, icicles formed on

the subs' topsides. One morning, the atmosphere was tense as HMS

Narwhal tracked a German E-boat, running silently beneath the icy

seas. They'd been tracking the enemy vessel for most of the night,

when the unexpected happened.

'Depth charges descended through the water and found their target.

Somehow, the E-boat had become aware of HMS Narwhal, and now

tortured shouts and screams filled the cylindrical steel coffin.

Water rushed in to fill the breached bulkheads, and the submarine

began to descend to the distant bottom, as the water pressure slowly

increased around the vessel, caressing the steel at the same time as

crushing it. The emergency ballast was released in a frantic attempt

to surface, but this was to no avail. Resigned to their fate, the

shocked submariners prayed silently for their souls as the sound of

tortured metal shrieked in their ears.

'But then... there was a loud thud against the bottom of the

vessel, jarring the crew off their feet. There was a faint grinding

noise, but the popping and shrieking quieted and finally stopped.

"Sir!" exclaimed the crewman who monitored the depth gauge. "We're

rising!" The crew was jubilant as the submarine reached the surface.

The emergency pumps set to work and before long the sub was buoyant

again. The Captain rushed to the conning tower, eager to see what

had been the instrument of their salvation.

'He gasped at what he saw. Between his vessel and the E-boat were

four huge and mossy humps, which undulated towards the enemy vessel.

At the front he could see a towering leviathan of a creature, a huge

serpent with massive teeth and glittering eyes. It fell at last upon

the German vessel, and both boat and monster disappeared into the

sea, with a mere sprinkling of flotsam to reveal it was ever there.

The Captain smiled, and went below deck to supervise the repairs.'

Jake smiled, and took a sip of Coke. Appreciative murmurs were

heard around the circle, and then Jake passed the sack of powder on

to Sam. Dave glanced at Joe, and found him staring in his direction.

Noticing he'd got Dave's attention, Joe slowly ran a hand over his

naked torso, cupping his nipples and licking his lips suggestively.

Dave grinned and winked. Sam leaned forward, and cast the powder on

the fire, and as the flare died he began his tale.

'Hallowe'en is supposedly the time of year when ghouls,

ghosts and such are abroad. We treat it as a joke, but it has its

origin in the mists of time and should be treated far more

seriously....

'Jim and Nige were friends. They were as different as chalk and

cheese, yet somehow they managed to build a lasting friendship. Jim

was the daring, devil-may-care type, always taking risks and living

life to the full. Nige was far more sober, a quiet and bookish lad

who thought twice or even three times before taking any action. A

strange friendship, and yet it worked well. Perhaps Nige's sensible

nature offset Jim's daredevil one, and their friendship hovered

somewhere between the two.

'As in most towns, there was a large old house in Nige and Jim's

hometown, which was reputed to be haunted. Of course it was an

irresistible kid-magnet, a place of uncounted passage-rites. But

nobody dared to go there on Hallowe'en.. Except Jim.

Of course Nige was against the idea right from the start. "But

Jim!" he whined plaintively. "It could be dangerous!" Jim would have

none of it, and eventually he got Nige to agree through wheedling,

begging, ridiculing, and appealing to his admittedly small sense of

adventure. Reluctantly he agreed to spend Hallowe'en night

in the haunted house, and Jim was overjoyed. "Ya won't

regret it pal!" he assured the nervous boy. Nige sighed. "I

sure hope not..."

'Although he'd agreed to the venture, Nige was determined to

garner a little information about the ghost-ridden place before he

set foot in it. He went to the library on the 29th of October in an

attempt to find out something about the alleged haunting. The

results of his search made interesting reading. It turned out that

the old wooden building had once belonged to a wealthy and solitary

lady. The rumour was that she was a witch, using her supernatural

powers to blight the lives of those who crossed her. Well, these

rumours found the ears of the Witch Finder General. She was beaten,

tortured, and interrogated, and finally burned to death at a stake

in her own front garden. The legend stated that she walked from the

fire as her flesh charred and her eyes ran like tallow down her

cheeks and embraced the terrified witchfinder, carrying him with her

to the grave. The ghosts supposedly haunting the house were

supposedly those of the old woman and the Witchfinder.

'Hallowe'en night, the two boys told their parents that they were

going trick or treating, and as their hearts beat excitedly, they

walked slowly to the house. It was very old, the weathered timbers

looking weak, every pane of glass long gone. They entered the old,

ivy-covered dwelling through a bay window, and treading carefully on

the weak floor wandered around the ground floor. It was bare but

quite grandiose, with chandeliers hanging from the ceilings, and a

hint of fine decoration on the mildewed walls. Everything was

festooned with cobwebs, and the dust lay inches thick on the floor.

Nige's research had revealed that woman had been interrogated in the

library, so this was the room in which they decided to wait.

'They sat on a sheet they had brought with them, to avoid getting

the dust on their clothing, and they settled down to wait. Before

long, they began to feel restless, uncomfortable on the hard wooden

floor, impatient for something to happen. Distantly, they could hear

the town clock striking twelve.

'Suddenly the temperature of the room seemed to drop. The two boys

shivered, huddling close together to share body warmth.' Dave felt a

faint throbbing in his underwear at that thought. He winked at Joe,

who smiled winningly. "I must be /really/ horny tonight..." thought

Dave. 'Then, a frosty white light seem to fill the room, shimmering

like a reflection on the surface of a lake.'

'As the two boys shivered in their fear, the spectral shimmering

began to solidify into a translucent image. Before long it was

discernible as a woman sitting in an old fashioned wooden chair, her

hands bound. She had a fine and intelligent face, her eyes

glimmering with that intelligence. Her ghostly form was limned with

a pale blue light as the boys watched fearfully. A ghostly trickle

of blood ran in a rivulet down the woman's cheek, and her right eye

had been blackened, and still she appeared defiant and aloof.

'Both of the boys jumped as another ghost entered the opulent

library, slamming the ghostly door behind him. The second spectre

was a tall, stooped man with hawkish features and malevolent eyes.

His spirit seemed outlined in blood red. His long coat flapped with

the speed of his long strides as he walked over to the restrained

woman. His mouth opened, and his voice could be heard like a

faint breeze. "So witch, are you ready to confess to your foul

deeds?" The woman gazed at him defiantly, spitting in his face. She

too spoke, and her words were stronger. "The only crimes that I have

committed are the healing of the sick, the helping of the

despairing, and the service of God, pathetic little man."

The male spectre growled and slapped the aristocratic woman on the

cheek, snapping her head violently to the side. She glared defiantly

at him, the evidence of her previous beatings apparent on her face.

Jim, watching intently, noticed that Nige, the normally

unadventurous boy, was muttering "This shouldn't have happened, it

isn't right!" under his breath, and clenching his fists. Steeling

his courage, Nige began to walk over to the ghosts.

'"We shall see how defiant you are when you burn at the stake,

witch-woman." Nige was approaching them now, as Jim desperately

tried to call him back. Nige's face contorted, and he screamed

"Leave her alone!" The world shifted.

'All of a sudden, the two spectres became solid, the room

returning at once to its former glory. The Witchfinder looked aghast

at the sudden appearance of the boy. The witch merely smiled

knowingly. "What Satanic trickery be this?" exclaimed the horrified

Witchfinder, backing away from Nige. Jim had passed unconscious in

fright, and so was blissfully unaware at what was going on. Nige

continued to advance on the Witchfinder, his eyes blazing anger and

hatred. Nervous, the much older man backed away. With a 'Zzzzzzing!'

he drew a sword from the handle of his cane, waving it nervously at

Nige. Nige halted, and raised his hands palms outward to the

Witchfinder. "Begone to where you belong!" he called, in a voice

that was not entirely his own.

'With a gesture, Nige caused a hole to open beneath the feet of

the Witchfinder General, who sank downwards into the stench of

brimstone with a hideous scream. Nige gestured again, and the hole

closed. He gestured a final time and the witches bonds fell away,

her wounds healed. She stood, touching the young boys' shoulder, her

eyes full of love and twinkling merrily. "You have done well, my

great, great, great Grandson." And with that, she vanished.

'A few days later, Nige went back to the library. Somehow the book

had been changed. The supposed witch managed to escape, and the

Witchfinder vanished without trace. The witch became a great healer,

her memory much revered. And the haunted house was derelict no

longer. Instead, Nige found himself living there with his family,

and it was as it always used to be. The only explanation they

could think of was that the potent Hallows magic had hurled him

back in time to confront the Witchfinder with his latent witchcraft.

And only he and Jim could remember the world as it was before that

fateful Hallowe'en night....'

As they congratulated Sam, he wordlessly passed the pouch on to

Dave. Dave gulped. What was he going to come up with to follow the

others? Should he include a gay theme? The others were waiting

patiently, but he had to begin soon.... Whoomf! The fire erupted,

and Dave began his tale.

'Um, in a small town something like this, there was once a

mysterious rash of disappearances.' he thought frantically for a

moment, almost enjoying the challenge. 'All those who went missing

were cute looking young boys.' At that, Joe grinned at Dave, and

licked his lips raunchily. 'The cops had no leads, no bodies, and

the case seemed insoluble. Fifteen year old Carl was disconsolate

when his fourteen-year-old brother Mark went missing. They were as

close as brothers get, often showing affection and love for each

other in public which other boys would have been too embarrassed to.

Through his bitter tears he vowed to find Mark, and the person

abducting young men in his area.

'His search began the very day after Mark was taken from him.

There were no obvious clues. and before long Carl was depressed by

his lack of results. He sat on a bench in the park and began to cry,

memories of his brother overwhelm him. He sat crying for a while,

and was suddenly startled by a hand touching him on the shoulder.

Gasping, he turned to see whom the hand belonged to. Perhaps Mark..

But he was disappointed. It was an elderly man touching him, one of

the town's many tramps from the looks of him.

"What's the matter, boy?" he asked, in a kindly voice. There was

something familiar in the old face, and in the tired voice. "Do I

know you, sir?" asked Carl. The man sighed and shrugged.

"I dunno." he replied. "I lost my memory somehow... First thing I

remember is waking up on that bench over there..." Carl frowned.

There was definitely something familiar about this guy... Where had

he seen him? "And you can't remember a single thing before that?"

he asked bemusedly. "No, not a thing." sighed the tramp. Carl felt a

voice nagging in the depths of his mind. He felt sure he knew this

guy. The tramp yawned, stretching his arms, and Carl got a good look

inside his mouth as he did so. He gasped, and lifted his hand to his

face in shock. In his mouth was a chipped tooth... chipped in

exactly the same place as Mark had chipped his a mere day or so ago.

The flare of recognition came again, and this time, Carl recognised

the young boy hiding beneath the facial structure of an old man...

It was Mark!

Dave paused for a moment, licking his lips. He was thoroughly

absorbed in his tale now. '"My God!" cried Carl, recoiling from

Mark. "What the fuck happened to you?" The old man who was still his

brother looked dismayed. "I already told you, I don't know!" Carl

gasped, almost hyperventilating in his shock. "But you're my

brother! And you're supposed to be fourteen years old!" Mark shook

his head, looking at the kid oddly. "You're crazy, kid. How could

that be true?" Carl shook his head, tears spilling from his eyes.

"I don't know... But I aim to find out."

'Carl took Mark, who protested all the while, to a place deep in

the woods, where he hoped to spark a memory in the man of the boy

he'd once been. "Don't you remember anything? Nothing at all?" Mark

shook his head, sighing. "No, I can't remember a single thing." Carl

racked his brain. This was a little different than a disappearance..

someone had aged his brother. But how could they do that? And who

could do that? He desperately tried to think. Where had Mark been

the day before he disappeared? With a flash, it came to him. Mark

had been to the new doctor's for a physical check-up... and he'd

vanished the next day. "That could be it!" he cried jubilantly.

'"Mum, I don't feel too brilliant." Carl said, sitting at the

kitchen table with an untouched dinner before him. "Could you please

book me an appointment with the doctor for a check-up?" His mother

looked concerned, and nodded. "Ok, Carl. I'll get you booked in for

as soon as I can."

'The doctor's surgery was a sterile place smelling faintly of pine

disinfectant. Carl reported to the receptionist, fear making his

stomach clench painfully. He really didn't feel too well at this

moment... The receptionist greeted him kindly, giving him a plastic

card with a number on it. "Just take a seat and wait your turn." she

advised. Carl nodded, muttering a brief thanks before going into the

open plan waiting area. There were a couple of other people before

him, both of them elderly, and coughing in deep hacking spasms.

After a wait of about ten minutes, it was his turn to go into the

doctor's office. He slotted his card into the hole which went back

to the reception, and wandered along the plushly carpeted corridor

to the office.

'He knocked, and a young voice called for him to come in. He

pushed open the door, and entered the starkly modern office. The

young bespectacled doctor looked up and grinned. "Do take a seat."

Carl did so, his gaze drawn to the doctor's eyes. They seemed old...

Much older than he looked. On the desk was an apothecary bottle of a

greenish transparent fluid. "So what appears to be the matter?" the

doctor grinned predatorily, it seemed. Carl made up some hokum

about headaches and nausea. The doctor nodded, that strange grin

again on his face. "Well, I just need to take a blood test..."

'The doctor unwrapped a sterile syringe, and swabbed Carl's arm.

Something was wrong... You didn't take a blood test when someone had

a cold....

The doctor jabbed the sharp needle into Carl's arm, and then began

to pull back the plunger. Carl gasped in shock. The stuff coming out

of his arm was the same green as the stuff in the bottle. This was

it! He was somehow extracting his youth!

'Carl pulled away from the syringe, surprising the doctor, and

spurting a fine spray of blood as the needle was withdrawn. Somehow,

he was filled with strength, and he turned the syringe on the

doctor. A white light filled the room as the syringe filled with

concentrated green youth. The doctor aged before his eyes, becoming

a truly ancient man, and finally disappearing into dust. Carl

grabbed a load of sterile syringes, took the apothecary bottle, and

then ran swiftly out of the back door before he could be stopped.

'He injected himself with a tiny amount of the youth, replacing

that which the evil doctor had stolen. He found the elderly Mark,

and gave him a full syringe full. Before his very eyes, he became

younger, eventually back to his fourteen year old self... and naked.

The large clothes he'd been wearing fell away as he turned back, and

he threw them away in disgust, hugging his brother tightly.

'They injected the other vagrants who'd suddenly appeared. There

was just enough of the youth to return each of them to their true

age. The parents of the missing children hailed it as a miracle when

their kids were returned to them... And perhaps it was.. the miracle

of one boy's overwhelming love for his brother.'

Dave smiled, rather pleased with his story. The Society gave him a

round of applause, and John smiled. 'Not bad for a first story.' Dave

grinned at Joe, feeling his erection returning as he gazed on the

slick perfection of his body. feeling somewhat dazed, he passed the

bag on to Brian, not noticing the look of hatred which he gave him

as he did so.

Brian cast the powder on the fire, and the light made him look

cruel, frowning as he began his tale. 'There were a couple of queer

bastards once who lived in a town a bit like this.' Dave winced,

sensing that Joe was also uncomfortable with it. 'They were real

perverts, having sex whenever they could, in all sorts of perverse

ways. They were about the same age as Joe and Dave, and they did it

all in secret so they didn't get caught for underage sex.' Dave

didn't like the way this tale was going.

'Well, one of their favourite places to carry out their perverse

sex acts without being caught was this old house. Nobody ever went

there, it was one of those places that's supposed to be haunted.

Well, they were out trick or treating one Hallowe'en night, and they

got horny. They went to the old house, all the time stroking one

another through their trousers, as they talked about the filthy

things they were going to do.

'They arrived at the house, and they went up to the old bedroom,

taking all their clothes off to lie on the sleeping bags they'd

brought previously. They were right into the sex, grunting like

animals, when something caught one of their ears. The younger one

stopped his bestial fucking of the older, and said: "Did you hear

that?" The older one replied that he'd heard nothing. "Just fuck

me!" he said.

'What neither of them knew was that something malevolent was

waiting for them in the old house on that night... The young one,

his cock buried deep in the arse of the older one, was about to cum.

Suddenly, the rutting queers were bathed in a red light, and his

penis suddenly wilted to a limp thing. "I heard something!" he

whispered, his heart beating quickly. Just then, the older one heard

him gasp and scream, as a massive black talon came through his

chest, blood exploding in gouts of red gore. He screamed too, as the

head of his perverse lover was struck from his body, flying through

the air to leave a full stop of blood on the floor as his body

collapsed to lie next to it. "Jesus!" screamed the doomed queer, and

then everything went black....'

Dave shuddered. Was this guy a homophobe or what? He was worried

by the fact that he'd said the guys in the story were about the same

age as he and Joe. Did he suspect? Did he know that Joe was gay? He

shivered, and noticed that Joe was also looking uneasy. There was an

embarrassed silence for a few moments, then John cleared his throat

as Brian passed him the bag. 'Um, I think that story wasn't what we

like to hear, Brian. I've warned you about this in the past....'

Brian screwed up his face, and launched himself to his feet. 'Jesus!

But you let queers into the Society!' He glared at Joe for a moment

before stalking off. 'As chairman, I declare that Brian Kennedy is

no longer a member of this society.' The others all nodded, and Dave

felt relieved. John put the small sack of powder into his rucksack,

and then declared the meeting of the Moonlight Society closed. The

fire was snuffed with a bottle of water he'd brought with him, and

the members dispersed, talking about the stories as they wandered

through the wood. Dave lingered, and so did Joe. Soon, they were the

only ones left in the clearing.

'So, where abouts do you live?' asked Joe, breaking the silence.

'On Gilmore street.' Dave replied nervously. Joe grinned, his face

lighting up. 'Cool, I live about five minutes walk from you.'

He smiled again, stroking his chest absently. 'In fact, you're on my

way home. Wanna walk home together?' He stood up, brushing dirt from

the seat of his cutoffs. Dave smiled, unable to believe his luck.

'Yeah, that'd be great!'

The two boys began to walk through the wood, Joe still shirtless.

Dave found himself admiring Joe's torso as he walked close beside

him, loving the look of the muscles rippling beneath the tight skin.

Joe noticed the looks, and grinned. Dave suddenly felt embarrassed,

and looked away. 'No need to be embarrassed.' assured Joe. 'I like

you too... Look, why don't you take off your shirt too, you must be

really hot.' Dave grinned, his erection raging, and slipped his

cotton tee-shirt off over his head. 'That's better.' grinned Joe.

Dave agreed, loving the feel of the cool night air on his slick

skin. They could see well enough by the light of the moon, and the

pale silver light accentuated each muscle on their torsos. Dave

glanced down at Joe's crotch, and noticed a distinct bulge in the

fabric of his denim cutoffs.

'Hmm.' mused Joe. 'I'm still too hot.' Saying this, he undid the

button on his cutoffs, slid down the zip, and stepped out of them.

Dave couldn't believe his eyes. Now Joe was dressed only in a sexy

pair of boxer shorts. He grinned, nonchalantly slinging his shorts

over his shoulder and walking on with them making a dark patch on

his moonlight-paled skin. Joe mock-sighed, shaking his head, as Dave

admired the taut buttocks revealed by the fabric of his boxers.

'It's no use, I'm still way too hot....' And with this, he slid the

boxers down and off. His penis sprang forth as they slid down his

legs, and Dave found his heart pounding as he admired the naked Joe,

whose trainers looked even more sexy against the nudity. Joe smiled,

and put his hands on his hips. His penis was around eight inches

long, Dave guessed, larger than his own six inches. The foreskin

almost completely covered the wide penis, only a small patch of pink

glans visible beneath the fold of skin. His testicles were large and

heavy, hanging low in the slightly hairy scrotum which Dave longed

to feel in his mouth. A dark vee of pubic hair surrounded the base

of his penis, the only hair on his wonderfully smooth body apart

from that in his armpits. Joe noticed the appreciative glances.

'That's much better.' he sighed, moving his hand to languidly hold

his hard penis. 'Why don't you join me?' he asked. Dave grinned,

rapidly stripping off the rest of his clothes. 'I thought you'd

never ask.' Dave was thinner than Joe, and less well muscled, but

there was a breathtaking beauty there nonetheless. His penis, while

not as large as Joe's was perfectly formed, the foreskin teasingly

revealing a glimpse of his head.

His testicles were a little smaller than Joe's, but eminently

suckable. A small amount of fine pubic hair clustered around his

penis, and his body was smoothly perfect. The dark ovals of his

nipples stood out in contrast to his pale skin, and Joe felt an urge

to take them in his mouth. So he did.

Dave felt intense pleasure as Joe bent down to take the nipple in

his hot mouth. Gently, he nipped at the bud with his teeth,

thrilling Dave in a mixture of pleasure and ecstatic pain. He

circled the round teat with his tongue, tasting the sweat and

masculinity which had collected on Dave's skin. Dave held his head,

guiding it over to the other nipple, which he spent time

pleasuring. Dave sighed in the pleasure of it as the woodland breeze

caressed his skin, and Joe looked up. 'Nice?' he asked. Dave just

nodded, overwhelmed by his feelings for his lover. Joe leaned

forwards, and Dave felt the pressure of another mouth on his own,

the tongue probing at the crack of his lips. He surrendered, parting

his lips for the delicious invader, allowing Joe to take his mouth,

tasting the warm chocolate of the young mouth, feeling saliva flow

and mingle between them as they shared each other's air. Dave ran

his hands up and down Joe's back and sides, thrilling to the feel of

the taut flesh beneath his trembling fingers. He found Joe's

buttocks, holding and squeezing them as the lover's kiss seemed to

stretch on into eternity.

They broke the kiss, and they stared into each other's starstruck

eyes. Their hands began an intimate exploration of each other's

body, no part remaining secret or undiscovered. Joe found Dave's

body with his tongue, roaming over the warm landscape of his flesh,

tasting and scenting the things that made Dave what he was. He

scooped out the shallow navel with his tongue, rimming it with the

very tip as he knelt before Dave. 'Lower!' he gasped, guiding Joe's

head down as his penis oozed with slick precum. Joe grinned, and

took the very tip of Dave's penis into his warm cavern of a mouth.

Dave couldn't believe the sensations, the first time anyone other

than himself had touched his most private organ. Joe sucked softly

on the foreskin, before sliding his tongue between the skin and the

delicate glans. Dave shuddered, rising to his toes as Joe held the

tip of his penis in his mouth and stroked his thighs. Joe could feel

the tensing of Dave's muscles as he shivered uncontrollably in

ecstasy. Joe teasingly withdrew from the penis, and lowered his

mouth to Dave's testicles. He licked the smooth scrotum, feeling the

balls quiver as they were pleasured. He took them into his mouth one

at a time, rolling them around his tongue and soaking them in warm

saliva. He returned to the slightly throbbing penis, holding and

squeezing the base as he took the head once more into his mouth.

Dave groaned, his breathing becoming faster as he neared the brink.

Joe slid the whole of his breathtakingly beautiful penis into his

thirsting mouth, feeling the warm head nudge the very back of his

throat.

Dave felt himself losing it, knew he wouldn't be able to hold the

orgasm back for much longer. The feeling of his penis sliding in and

out of Joe's mouth was incredibly sensuous and amazingly

pleasurable. Then Joe began to squeeze the base between his fingers

and slide them up and down a little, at the same time as sucking and

tonguing the beautiful penis. Dave arched his back, stabbing his penis

even further back into Joe's throat, and finally releasing

spurt after spurt of pearly semen into the waiting gullet. Joe

swallowed every drop, feeling the semen sear into his stomach. He

slipped the still-hard penis from his mouth, kissing the tip and

then wiping it against his eyelids and smooth shaven cheeks. His own

penis throbbed with desire, precum oozing from the urethra as he

kissed Dave again, stroking his back and sides. 'Jesus that was

good!' moaned Dave. Joe smiled. 'Good.' he replied. He reached down

with a finger, penetrating Dave's tight anus. Dave gasped, arching

his back as his penis came again to full mast.

Joe smiled. 'May I?' he asked, pointing to his jutting erection with

his other finger while Dave squirmed on the pleasure of being

invaded. Dave nodded, but then said; 'Only with a condom..' Joe

nodded, and grinned. 'I brought one because I knew you were going to

be here...' Dave was stunned... Joe had been interested in him

before this evening?

Joe withdrew his finger, and asked Dave to kneel on the soft

leafmould. He fetched his shorts, fishing a small silver packet from

the pocket. He also had a tiny tube of lubricant. He quickly rolled

the condom on, and smeared half of the KY on his rubberclad shaft.

He felt his balls aching painfully as he prepared Dave. Kneeling

behind him, he smeared the rest of the KY on and around his anus. He

slid a finger in as Dave gasped, penetrating easily. He added a

second finger, making Dave gasp again. 'Is that OK?' he asked. Dave

moaned. 'Oh that feels goooood!' he replied. Joe grinned, and added

a third finger, stretching the muscles around Dave's anus to prepare

the way for his invasion. After the addition of a fourth finger and

no complaints from Dave, Joe decided that Dave was ready. He took

the fingers out, and Dave moaned again... 'Take me! I want you in

me!' Joe prepared to acknowledge Dave's request, kneeling close

behind him and touching the very tip of his sheathed and lubricated

penis to the puckered opening. Dave sighed as Joe's penis began to

enter him, and Joe gasped. Dave seemed to clasp at his organ as it

entered, clenching his muscles around the smooth invader. Joe slid

it in further, and now Dave felt the tip probing deep inside him,

stimulating his prostate gland and raising him to ecstasy. Losing

control, Joe slammed the rest of himself into Dave, causing a slight

moan of utter pleasure. He began to thrust and pump, feeling Dave's

tight passageway surrounding him utterly as an owl haunted

mournfully in the distance. The leaves rustled beneath them as he

took Dave harder and harder, reaching in front of him to hold and

stroke his penis. 'Yes!' sighed Dave, totally absorbed in the

feeling of Joe's penis sliding to and fro deep within his secret

depths, near another orgasm. With a sudden moan, Joe shuddered,

ramming his penis in as deep as he could, the condom filling with

bursts and spurts of semen at the same time as Dave spent his load

into the carpet of leaves. They collapsed together, Joe's spent

penis still deep within Dave. 'Don't take it out.' he sighed. 'I

like you in me.

Joe nuzzled the back of Dave's neck, smelling the scent of his

boyish masculinity, and never wanting to be apart from this

wonderful lover again. As they rested in a dreamy half snooze, both

Joe and Dave realised that they had fallen deeply in love.

Deep in the trees, a shadowy figure watched the comsumnation of

their love, and his eyes burned with a hatred which seemed to sear

the very night... -- Richard Bellingham. -- 'Remember the truth that once was spoken:
