Pain. It moved with pain. The rear limb dragged through leaves and dirt, refusing to bend the way it should. Dark wetness ran down the limb, marking the ground behind. Another wound burned along its side. Older. Deeper. Opened again and again. There were others now. Holes. Torn flesh. Metal had entered it. It had dug some of the hard pieces out with its claws. Others remained. They would be pushed out in time.
It knew pain. It knew the things that caused it. The hairless, featherless ones. Again. It moved through the darkness. Slowly. The mountain smelled different at night. Damp earth, moss, trees. It could sense the small animals hiding beneath roots and inside hollow trunks.
The hairless, featherless ones were gone. The female had smelled different from the others. Two males. Both had carried the things that made thunder and pain. She had not. But she had been there. Above. Near the stones. The stones. It clicked loudly. Nothing answered.
It continued. One leg, then the other. Dragging. It had been hurt before, it knew where to go. Inside. Inside was dark. Inside was quiet. Inside was safe. It moved toward home. Toward where those who belonged to the mountain rested. Nothing found it there unless it allowed it. At least until the bright, featherless flier.
It reached the clearing. Careful to avoid the terrible stones, it made its way to the edge and carefully climbed down the granite. What was usually effortless had become difficult. Still, it made it to home. Entering the cave, it stopped. Its head tilted. Something was wrong.
Click.
The mountain did not answer. It moved forward, causing pain to consume its body. Not the leg, not the other wounds. Everywhere. It screamed; the sound ripping through the sleeping forest, causing birds to erupt from the trees. It stumbled backward and the pain stopped.
It crouched, waited. The mountain remained before it. Home remained inside. It could smell it: the damp chamber, blood, bodies, stone. Safe. It moved forward again. Pain. It recoiled with a shriek, its claws lashing out and creating deep gouges in the wall. Home. Home was blocked. Same pain as before, but different. It knew not being able to get out. Not being able to get into home was new.
The mountain would not let it return.
It moved as quickly as its injuries would allow, returning to the base of the cliff. The forest quieted in respect for its presence. It screamed as its fury reached a peak. It struck a tree, causing bark to explode beneath its claws. Again. Again. Again. Until the trunk started tipping, falling to the forest floor with a loud crash.
Blood. It smelled blood. Its own. The leg was bleeding, the wound along its side had opened. It needed home. Home was quiet, home was safe. But home was closed. It lifted its head. The stones were above. It knew. The female: the one without thunder. The female had restored the prison. Only it was outside.
Click.
A sound came from the forest. It turned away; it would not, could not go there. Instead, it limped through the trees. Away from home, away from the moving water. The mountain offered other places. Dark places, rock, hollows; places where sunlight could not reach. None were home, but it hurt. It needed stillness, darkness. It moved deeper into the forest. Behind it, drops of dark blood marked its path.
On the mountain, seven stones stood beneath the stars. The small rock rested where it belonged.
It did not look back.
8:37 AM
Mike was on his back when he slowly woke up Sunday morning in Amber’s bedroom, the blanket tangled around his calves. His clothing was just a pair of boxer briefs. He carefully shifted, causing a faint sting in his chest. Four scratches ran diagonally across his skin, partially covered by adhesive strips. The urgent care doctor had cleaned the wounds and told him to watch out for infection. No stitches or serious damage. The vest had done its job.
Movement on the other side of the bed drew Mike’s attention. Amber. She was lying on her side facing away from him and reading a book, her thin-frame glasses perched on her nose and her chestnut hair in a ponytail. The blankets were off her body, revealing she was only covered by a gray camisole and a pink thong. Her butt-cheeks held his attention for a few moments, but it was her shapely legs that truly entranced him.
“Staring at my ass helping your morning wood?” Amber asked suddenly.
“Oh, um, no,” Mike cleared his throat. “I mean, good morning.”
She looked over her shoulder. “Morning, sexy ranger man. I’d ask how your chest is, but seems like you’re feeling just fine.”
“Can’t blame a guy for enjoying the view,” Mike said as he reached out and squeezed her butt.
“Oh!” Amber giggled, pressing her ass against his hand. “Someone’s feeling frisky.”
“Hey, I could have died yesterday,” he reasoned as his thumb caressed the soft skin of her bum. “Can you really blame me for wanting to feel alive.”
“No, I get it,” she replied, her green eyes sparkling. “I’m actually feeling some morning arousal as well.”
“Morning wetness?” Mike teased, his fingers brushing the waistband of her underwear.
Amber laughed. “You’re cute. And you should know I’m reading one of my romantasy books.”
“Getting less turned on,” he grunted.
“So you don’t want to hear the scene I’m reading?” she smirked. “Fine. I won’t tell you about the heroine getting DP’d by the two hot studs.”
Mike’s hand froze. “Whoa.”
“What can I say? I’m a dirty girl,” Amber scrunched her nose cutely as she wiggled her butt. “You ever done it?”
“A threesome? No,” Mike answered.
“No, not that,” she laughed lightly. “Anal sex.”
“I can’t say that I’ve ever done that,” he replied.
“Well, it’s probably fifth date material, but I might be interested in letting you do me in the butt,” Amber waggled her eyebrows. “Would you like that? Sodomizing your sexy librarian while she screams?”
“I-I would,” Mike stammered, swallowing weakly.
Amber put her book down and turned her body to face him. “Good. I’ve enjoyed this morning chat, but now I need a cock in my mouth.”
Without bothering to wait for a response, Amber pulled down his underwear and lowered her head. Mike released a groan when he felt her warm mouth surrounding him. His hand grabbed her ponytail as she started bobbing her head, making wet slurping and sucking noises while passionately sucking dick.
Pulling her mouth off him, Amber tugged off her camisole while Mike removed his boxer briefs. His hands massaged her breasts while she pushed her thong down her legs. Mike sucked and licked her boobs as she flung her underwear away, leaving them both fully exposed.
“I love these tits,” Mike husked, his tongue flicking her nipple.
“Mm, your mouth feels good, baby,” Amber purred, her hand at the back of his head. “Yes, lick my titty!”
Holding one boob, Mike sucked on the large mound while sliding a hand between her legs. Amber groaned when Mike started to finger her wet hole, her body writhing beneath his touch. He switched to the other tit, rubbing her clit as her pussy flooded with moisture.
He kissed up to her mouth before trailing his lips to her ear. “I’d offer to let you be on top this time, but I’m not sure my chest could take it.”
Amber laughed. “Wanna do me from behind?”
“Sounds fun to me!”
Keeping her glasses on, the sexy brunette wasted no time crouching on her hands and knees. She wiggled her butt to entice Mike while looking over her shoulder with a self-satisfied smirk. He responded by getting into position and lining himself up with her entrance. Holding her hips, he threw his head back and groaned as he pushed inside.
“Ah, fuck!” Amber groaned, her hands gripping the sheets. “So deep!”
“So tight,” Mike replied.
With a firm grip on her hips, Mike started a steady thrusting motion that felt amazing for them both. Amber was panting, her breath ragged as her tits swung beneath her. He looked down, watching her pussy swallow his tool with each pump. Amber’s moans were music to his ears, and he kept up a predictable pace, bringing her to the peak.
“Oh my God, I’m gonna cum! I’m gonna cum!” Amber announced, her mouth hanging open as she looked straight ahead and screeched. “Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, fuck me!”
“I can feel you,” Mike gasped as her vaginal walls rippled. “I can feel you cumming for me.”
“I wanna cum more!” she gasped out. “My arms! Hold my arms back! Please!”
Reaching out, Mike grabbed Amber’s elbows and pulled her arms back. His grip slid lower until he was holding her wrists, supporting Amber’s entire upper body. Her ponytail hung down her back as Mike started slamming himself into Amber hard and fast. Her boobs were slapping against each other as Amber went wild.
“Yes! Just like that! God yes, give it to me!” Amber moaned passionately. “Fuck me! Fuck my pussy! Fuck, fuck, fuck!”
Mike’s face was red, sweat pouring off him as he relentlessly thrust into Amber. Her glasses slid down her nose as her breathing grew more ragged. She came several times in rapid succession, her pulsating walls triggering Mike’s release. He held himself deep inside as his cock throbbed, his balls releasing their contents into her.
They collapsed in a sweaty heap.
Mike rolled off Amber, his softening manhood slipping out of her. “You’re so bossy.”
“I like having my arms pinned,” Amber blushed slightly as she pressed herself against him. “I appreciate that you can follow directions.”
“They were fun instructions,” he said, wrapping an arm around her. “By the way, your butt looked very appealing from that angle.”
“With sex this good, I may give up my ass on the fourth date instead,” she laughed, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Your chest okay?”
“A little sore but it’s not bad,” Mike answered. “The vest definitely worked.”
“Thank God.”
“Harper will have to get me another if we’re going back out there,” he commented.
“We’re going back out there?”
“We have to kill that thing,” Mike stated firmly. “It’s hurt and we don’t think it can get home. We’ll meet with Dan and come up with a plan.”
Amber grimaced. “You’re right. I keep seeing Emma’s face. What was in there ... it was a nightmare.”
“We’ll get them back to their families,” Mike promised.
Amber nodded slowly. “She was just lying there.”
Mike didn’t say anything, waiting for Amber to gather her thoughts.
I’ve spent years studying people who died hundreds or thousands of years ago,” she eventually said. “Burial sites, skeletal remains, artifacts. You learn to look at them scientifically. Still respectfully, but scientifically.”
“Yesterday was different,” he concluded.
“Very,” Amber sighed. “I knew their names, Mike. I knew what Emma looked like when she was happy. I saw her engagement photo.”
Mike rubbed her shoulder.
“And those bones...” she whispered. “Some of them might have been there for centuries. Who were they? Did anyone ever look for them? Did their families know what happened? How many people disappeared on that mountain before someone built those stones?”
“Maybe the families built the stones,” he suggested.
“Maybe,” Amber said.
“Eric would’ve been happy we found them,” Mike sighed. “He’d have insisted on getting the bodies out as soon as possible.”
Amber looked up at Mike. “You miss him.”
“Yeah.”
“You don’t have to pretend you’re okay with everything,” Amber told him.
Mike turned toward her. “I know.”
She leaned in and kissed him.
“Thank you,” Mike said with a smile when she pulled back.
“For what?” Amber asked.
“Being here.”
Amber glanced around her bedroom. “It is my apartment.”
“You know what I meant,” he laughed.
“I did,” she smirked. “You ready for breakfast?”
“How about I make you an omelet?”
“Damn, you know how to get a lady to spread her legs,” Amber giggled.
“You’ll need the energy for round two.”
Amber sat up, her naked body on full display. “Please. I could out-fuck you any day.”
“Challenge accepted.”
1:42 PM
“Seven,” Sheriff Dan Harper said as he leaned back in his chair, staring at the computer monitor.
Mike and Amber sat in chairs placed on the other side of the desk in the sheriff’s office. Like Harper, Mike was in his uniform and had his sidearm. Amber and Mike were leaning over to look at the image on the sideways-facing screen. It showed Emma Sinclair against the cave wall. Even after seeing her the previous day, the image on the computer was still overwhelming.
“Seven of our people trapped in there,” Mike added with a sigh. “Eleven dead.”
“Eleven dead recently,” Amber corrected quietly. “I couldn’t even begin to estimate how many older remains are in there.”
Harper rubbed his face and changed the image to one Amber took of the bones. “Any chance some of those bones aren’t human?”
“Some might not be,” Amber answered. “Those skulls are definitely human.”
“Did you notice the bodies, Carter?” Harper asked. “Flesh intact. It isn’t eating them.”
“Makes me wonder what it’s doing,” Mike sighed. “And if it doesn’t eat people, is it eating deer?”
“Maybe it doesn’t eat?” Amber offered. “I mean, we have reason to believe it survived alone in that cave for centuries. No food.”
“Why does it collect its victims?” Harper questioned.
Amber shook her head. “I don’t know.”
The image changed again. More bones lay scattered across the cave floor. Some were partially concealed beneath loose stones, while others were complete skeletons. A few of the skulls were cracked. There was also a rusted metal object beside one of the skeletal hands.
Harper pointed to it. “What’s that?”
“Remains of a tool,” Amber said. “They must have had it when holding it when Gerald took them.”
“How old?” Harper asked.
“Couldn’t tell you without a closer look.”
“Guess,” Dan grunted.
“Sheriff, if you want me to make up an answer, I’ll go with 1742.”
Harper sighed. “Point taken.”
“The corrosion suggests it’s been there a long time, but that doesn’t tell us much without knowing the exact material and environmental conditions,” Amber sighed. “That much rust? If it’s been in that cave all this time, sheltered from the elements; possibly centuries.”
“That fits with what we know,” Mike said.
“What we suspect,” Amber immediately corrected.
Mike sighed. “We suspect The Thing in the Mountain killed Native Americans hundreds of years ago. Then it was imprisoned.”
“That’s the theory,” she agreed. “We’re talking about a period that predates any records you’re likely to have.”
“And we don’t think this creature is responsible for any of the other missing people around Deer Ridge?” Mike asked.
“Not likely,” Amber shook her head. “So far, our theories seem mostly-correct.”
“Plenty of missing-person reports over the years,” Harper added. “But no more around Deer Ridge than anywhere else in the Adirondacks.”
“Let’s talk about the footage we have,” Mike suggested.
Amber nodded. “The good news is that the controller saved the video feed. Everything transmitted before Gerald destroyed the drone is still here.”
“Quality isn’t as good as the original recording would have been,” Harper said while clicking through images. “That was stored on the drone’s memory card, which is presumably on the cave floor right now.”
“The important thing is that we got what we needed,” Mike said.
“Did we?” Harper questioned.
Amber looked at him. “We found the entrance and we confirmed the creature uses it. Not only did we find the missing victims, we also got footage of Gerald inside his lair.”
“His lair?” Mike frowned. “Maybe we shouldn’t assume its gender.”
Amber giggled.
“Anyway,” Harper sighed, “we also found out it really can’t cross water. How’s your chest, by the way, Carter?”
“Just some scratches, no stitches,” Mike confirmed.
“He’s been very brave about it,” she smiled.
“I’m surrounded by children,” Harper deadpanned.
“I’m twenty-four,” Amber reminded him.
“Not helping your case, Bennett.”
