Chapter 1

Bill :

Bill was looking through the waterfall at Sarah and Samantha, who was now fourteen. They had been coming to this area to camp, during the summer, for several years. They always camped naked and Bill was surprised at just how much Samantha looked like her mother. Yeah, he had seen her every summer since she was about five or so, but only recently realized that they were mother and daughter. At first he had thought they were sisters despite their obvious age difference. After all Sarah was only eleven years older than Samantha, but as he had fleetingly watched her grow up, he realized the similarities between Samantha and the girl he had once babysat so long ago. Now he saw what he should have seen earlier. Of course Sarah, at the age of eleven, only had puffy little swells on her chest. (Nothing much to look at.) Sarah’s puffy little chest mounds were now full B-cup sized breast, and had been since they started coming here to camp.

Samantha’s, not having gotten pregnant at such a young age, were just shy of a full A-cup. Had her mother not gotten pregnant so young, she might have developed at the same rate that Samantha was now. In fact they were within a few inches of each other in height now, Sarah being only a couple of inches taller.

Sarah:

Sarah had seen Bill across the fence a number of times when she went riding. She only tried called to him once, but he immediately ducked into the trees, and she never tried it again. She remained content to just admire what she could see of his body. Somehow she knew, though she didn’t know how, that he was always looking out for her.

The next day she and her daughter were going camping. She and Samantha had been coming to this camp site for nine years and, though she suspected that he watched over them even there, he had never revealed himself to them. This time she was determined to talk to him. She just didn’t know how she was going to accomplish it.

She decided to walk up to the waterfall and let the water flow over her. She had done this many times over the years. This time, however, something happened she hadn’t expected. She was standing under the waterfall, when her foot slipped. She began falling toward the pool below. The last thing she remembered was a pair of hands grabbing her then she hit her head on a rock and knew nothing more.

Bill:

Bill saw her slip. Without even thinking about it he reached out and grabbed her before she could fall into the pool. He pulled her into the cave he was in and laid her down on some soft dirt. He could see that she was breathing and uninjured other than a small bump on her head. He was about to pick her up and take her down to rest on the sand near the pool, when he was interrupted.

Samantha:

Samantha was swimming in the pool, when she looked up and saw her mother begin to fall. She screamed at the sight of her mother falling, but suddenly her mother began to rise once again. Instinctively she knew something was wrong and rushed to climb up to where she had last seen her mother.

She climbed up to the waterfall, but couldn’t see her mother anywhere. She assumed that her mother had fallen into the waterfall, so she stepped through as well. The sight that she beheld shocked her. Neither she nor her mother had ever tried to step behind the waterfall before, and to her surprise there was a cave there, though it was well hidden by a large rock. She walked a short distance into it and saw a man leaning over her mother. The man placed a hand on her mother’s chest between her breast for a moment. She was about to rush forward to stop him, thinking he might be trying not harm her. (She knew what had happened to her mother and how she had been conceived, neither her mother nor her grandparents had hidden that fact from her as she grew up.)

She had taken two steps in the direction of her mother when the man removed his hand. She stopped moving towards her mother and tried to hide behind another large rock, but wasn’t quick enough. The man had obviously heard her and turned his head to look at her. He said, “She’s going to be alright. She just hit her head on that rock,” pointing to a rock that stuck out from the top of the cave and helped to hide it from the outside. He went on, “I was about to take her out to the sandbar and let her wake up on her own. People accused me of a crime I didn’t commit and I had no way of defend myself, so I came out here to hide.”

Swallowing, Samantha said, “You were the one they accused when momma got pregnant with me. Aren’t you?”

“I guess so,” he said, “I’m Bill, by the way.” “I’ve heard her call you Sam several times but I assume it’s actually Samantha, right?”

Samantha smiled and said, “Yeah, I was named after my mom’s grandma.” Then she said, “Why are you still out here? Didn’t you know that the real man was caught and your name cleared?”

This was the first time Bill had heard of it and he said so. Then he added, “I haven’t had any contact with anyone since it happened. I didn’t know that I had been cleared of all that mess.” “I’ve been living out here. I’ve seen you and your mom coming out here to camp for years and I’ve kept an eye out the two of you. There was a man that tried to sneak up on the two of you a few years ago. I caught him and made him leave. He had taken a number of pictures of you and your mom out here and I suspect he was going to try to do more than just take pictures. I took care of it for you and made sure he wouldn’t harm y’all. I even destroyed his camera and pictures.”

She had heard that a man had been found beaten up by someone a few years ago, but he wouldn’t say who had done it. He just said that he’d been bird watching and didn’t see the guy who’d beaten him. Now she knew or at least suspected what had really happened.
