"Well Scarlet.. it's me Matt.. we went to highschool together.. don't you recognize me?"

"Matt??" Scarlet repeated a bit under her breath. She looked quizically up at the chiseled faced man. "Honestly Matt, I can't picture who you were. Did we have a class or two together?"

"Actually Scarlet we had several, I was your lab partner in Biology and then in our Junior year I played Captain Bracket in the school musical "South Pacific", you had played Nellie Forbush".

"Oh yeah" she flirted back, "I remember you now".. Scarlet stepped back and took a sweeping glance over his tall muscular frame. I don't remember you looking this good, she thought to herself while she flashed a dancing smile his way.

He lightly took Scarlets elbow and led her towards the refreshments. "May I interest you in a cold glass of punch? He swiftly reached over the table grasping a plastic cup and clasped a napkin with an oatmeal cookie in his other hand.. offering them to her. "Thankyou" she said, admiring his manners.

The night slipped away and soon the laughter from the crowd quieted ... The DJ introduced the judges and the nominated young ladies to which one will be this years Annual Spring Princess... Scarlets attention was stolen by the DJ. She was so hoping that this year her name would be called. She silently crossed her fingers and tried to hide her anxiousness while patiently waiting ..

Efptoha slowly entered into the dance hall thru the side door. Hopefully nobody would notice his coming or going. They never did, all part of being who and what he was, just part of the wood work. Scarlet was talking to Robin in the far corner and Sally, like the mink that she was, was slowly stalking them. What ever Robin was telling Scarlet had both of them trouble and worried. Sally got a wicked look in her eyes and turned and left the building toward the parking lot. Robin then left, telling Scarlet that she had a taxi coming. Cory then came in and Scarlet headed toward him. Would Scarlet even talked to him.......

30. mars 2007, 02:10:25

After several moments of retching, Dan began to get hold of his senses. He slowly reopened his eyes to take in the scene around him. Cowboy hats, boots and belts with large gaudy belt buckles lay all around the floor. The soft spot he sank into when he fell into the room was a overstuffed mattress covered with rotting globs of food matter. Toward the wall lay a pair of gold candlesticks with 1/2 burned candles still stuck in them. He moved a little closer and picked up one of the candles and poked at the globs of rotted food. Cheesecake, yup, limberger cheesecake. Only Sarah Gerad, Sally''s mother, made such a cake. The smell was overwhelming.

30. mars 2007, 02:02:10

Sally's burning eyes that were fixed on Robin's throat. Even from the long distance across the parking lot, Sally could see the delicate gold chain around Robin's neck and the tiny 1/2 heart that hung from it. The forever friends heart that she and scarlet wore. She wanted that necklace and she wanted scarlet to be her forever friend. She would get rid of the only thing that stood in her way tonight. Things were progressing faster than Sally had originally planned, but she was excited by the challenge. When a taxi cab drew up to the curb in front of the country club door, sallys heart sank. Robin had not driven herself to the dance tonight. That would throw a monkey wrench into her plan. Sally had a brilliant mind and a new idea began to hatch almost immediately. She started the car and sped out of the parking lot and headed for Robin's house.

30. mars 2007, 01:35:19

Robin left Scarlet and was waiting out by the main driveway entrance for her taxi cab. The clouds were heavy in the night skies covering the moon from time to time as they shifted eastward, giving an eirrey atmosphere to the warm summer night. she felt the presence of someone watching her. she looked across the driveway to the parking lot but didn't see anyone in the cars even tho the parking lot was very lighted by the newly installed lights. maybe it was how the light lit up the night robin thought to her self. oh its just i am scared for my dad, she thought then memories of the times she had with her dad over the years had her in deep thoughts so she wasn't aware of

29. mars 2007, 21:49:38

Scarlet shook her head in disbelief and shock over Robins news and watched as she quickly left the barn.. She glanced around the room looking for Sally, yet was not surprised when she didn't see her.. The music of Tim McGraw flooded the room.. Let It Go.. OOOooOOoo oh yeah.. I know.. I know.. I know.. I've been forgiven.. gonna let it go.. Oh yeah.. I know.. I know.. I know.. Feet shuffled on the dance floor and Scarlet walked briskly to the front door.. Seeing Cory walk in without Dan Scarlet grew a bit suspicious.. She shifted on over to Cory asking where his brother went off to. "Well Howdy Scarlet I haven't seen Danny at all today.. Saw him last evening after bringing in the horses though. Isn't he here? He mentioned he was planning on coming out tonight."

Scarlet mumbled around a bit and offered Cory what happened earlier with Sally.. Scarlet decided to wait just a bit longer to see if there was a mix up and decided to hunt down some of her other friends.. She twisted a bit on her heel and intended on walking away untill she heard a soothing deep voice call out her name.. Looking back.. she looks into the deep blue eyes of a stranger.. "How did you know my name?" she demanded.

29. mars 2007, 16:51:09

Sally waited patiently as Robin lead Scarlet to a corner of the room. Private chat my ass, she thought to herself. Robin had never liked her and was jealous that scarlet at least was pleasant to her. The longer they talked the more vengeful sally became. Suddenly a plan began to hatch in sallys head. she bacame calm and peaceful. Yes that would work. She didnt wait for scarlet to come back, instead she ran out to the parking lot and got into her car. She would wait for robin to come out.

29. mars 2007, 15:40:50

Robin left the two Sheriffs and went on into the dance. Scarlett was talking to ...Sally!!! When Robin got up to them , she broke into their conversation to ask Sally if she could have a private chat with SR .

Robin and SR went over to a less crowded corner. "I just got a call from my home I must leave immediately my dad is having a heart attack, I already called a taxi. Becareful around Sally I just don't think she is as nice as everyone thinks. Bye.....

29. mars 2007, 09:05:20

Robin started to lead the handsome sheriff when they saw movement up ahead and to the left of them. Robin caught a glimtz of Minere , She called out to him. She knew Sally had had a good ten minute start and Robin didn't care if Sally heard them or not. Then she and Sheriff Bruce Bigones, as he had introduced himself as they walked saw that Sheriff Minera had turned back and was going towards the patio of the country club.

29. mars 2007, 03:09:40

Dan stood up slowly, his hands sinking uncomfortably into the soft surface of the floor he was thrown on. His hands disturbed the surface causing a fresh waft of that rotten smell. It was so dark and quiet in this place, It unnerved Dan. After he was standing, he put his arms out in front of him and began to shuffle along, grasping out for any vertical surface. When he reached a wall, he moved along it inch by inch, looking for a door. The surface was smooth and seamless, there were no openings or apparent seams. This thought frightened Dan more than he would ever admit. He turned from the wall and swung his hands through the air looking to touch any thing he might recognize. Suddenly he felt a chair dangling from the ceiling. a light? he pulled hard on the chain and a soft yellow light bulb came on. It took several minutes for Dans eyes to become adjusted to the new light. What he saw made Dan fall to his knees Retching helplessly....

29. mars 2007, 03:00:05

Sally knew that the source of her discomfort was leaving, she decided she would deal with that later also, right now she had to get back to the dance. She circled around the woods line until she came to the front of the county club.
As she entered the hall, she saw Scarlet by the punch bowl, giggling and acting all girly as usual. She made her way over to her, making a mental note on who was at the dance and who they were with.

Sally came up behind scarlet and tapped her on the shoulder. Hi Scarlet...

28. mars 2007, 15:26:03

With the girl starting to become more on edge Etphota started moving back. A small twig snap under foot. Fool, how could he be so careless. He took 2 quick steps into the denser trees and reached into his pocket. He quickly pulled a small vial of corn pollen from it. He took a pinch of it, if this person was a Frog-heart it would protect him. If not it did not matter. He quickly move back down the path. Besides maybe all she was doing was hunting a husband or 2. Leaving the small opening he hurried back to the cabin. Just to be on the safe side he would leave protection for Dan (Dan had always been good to Efphota, but Efphota could not take the chance and free him. Beside for now let the silly girl think that she was in charge, there were other matters to attend to). As Efphota got to the door of the cabin, he quickly took a small branch of Ghost Weed from his pouch and placed it above the door. A twig of a nearby Cedar to the right and a branch of Sage Brush to the left, he then made a small line of corn pollen in front of the door. If this girl was more than she seemed this would keep her out and Dan safe. Now back to the dance.

27. mars 2007, 22:51:02

Sally moved swiftly from tree to tree, keeping her eyes pealed for the man in the black hat, it would not be good for him to get to the clearing now, she had to intercept him and steer him in the right direction. She had only dealt with two men at the same time, once before. It turned out alright, but it was difficult to manage. She was nearing the woods end near the country club now and could hear someone shouting a name. Sheriff? well now, this puts a very nice twist on things. a Sheriff's wife, that would be rather nice. It would give her the status and respect she longed for. she moved cautiously forward and could finally make out the lights of the country club through the leaves. She saw movement a little ways from the edge of the woods. she strained her eyes to watch what was happening.

Suddenly she heard a snap, it was behind her, it was not loud, probably not audible to the average human ear, but she was not an average human....

27. mars 2007, 22:44:12

Mineare moved toward the woods, hoping to catch up to the girl and boy, but he was distracted by someone calling his name. Sheriff bigones! Sheriff Bigones! he turned and saw a large muscular man with dark curly hair standing on the patio of the country club. He was waving to him. he felt drawn to do his duty and follow the couple, but something told him he needed to talk to this man also. His instincts, which made him such a good lawman, made him turn toward the country club. Soon he was standing in front of the man.

Sheriff mineare bigones? I am The sheriff of Armstrong County, This here pretty young thing Robin was just about to lead me out into those woods after you. I we may have some information to share with each other...... Can we sit down and talk?

27. mars 2007, 22:36:18

As sally turned to go back into the woods, she thought she felt someone watching her. At first she thought it might be the cowboy with the black hat, but he was to far behind them to have caught up yet. Besides this feeling was deeper. It was almost like it was in her mind. she looked around the clearing, straining her eyes to see any form of creature that might be hiding in the shadows. She couldnt see anything and finally gave up. She had to attend to other things right now. she moved back toward the woods, but never quite kept her eyes straight ahead of her....

27. mars 2007, 18:52:01

Efphota quietly watched from the shadows as the Wasithu known as Sally pushed the first Wasithu into the shed and lock the door. At least there he would be safe for awhile until he could release him later. But what about the second one. What did the she-devil have planned for him. And what was going on back at the party. Efphota was fairly sure that the woman and the first man had nothing to do with what was going on in the back part of the ranch. She and the second man -- maybe. And what were the 2 law man up to. Were they both clean or were they dirty. And what about the pretty Scarlet, would she even dance w/one sulch as he...........

27. mars 2007, 18:41:15

Sally giggled softly. These men are so easy to trick, she thought to herself. She could not linger as she usually did to hear the man inside scuffle about and call her name. she had to concentrate on the one following her......

27. mars 2007, 18:38:59

As Dan opened the door to the shack, he was taken aback by the smell that emanated from inside the building. It smelled of rotting meat. He hesitated a second and started to turn around to talk to Sally, when he felt a hard push from behind. Dan stumbled into the building, which was in total darkness. He fell flat on his face on a surprisingly soft surface. He heard the telltale click of a key turning into a lock and realized he was tricked.

Scarlet twisted around to speak at Robin and soon realized she stood alone.. she glanced up seeing her friend on the floor kickin her heels up to the music floating through the barn..

Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow
Giddy up, oom poppa, omm poppa, mow mow
Heigh-ho silver, away.

Elvira, Elvira
My hear's on fire for Elvira

Tonight I'm gonna meet her to hungry house cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the love I can
She's gonna jump and holler
'Cause I saved up two dollars
She's gonna search and find that preacher man.

Turning herself around and stepping just a few paces towards the snackarea she reached for a glass of punch resting on the counter. She no sooner had the glass to her lips when she felt her arm being tugged by none other than Jimmy Dean.. she let out a disapproving sigh and tried to focus on something else..

"Scar... Scar.. SCAR!!" Jimmy kept repeating while tugging at her elbow.. "Scar.. when are you going to return my calls? I have left several messages on your machine and had hoped you would have at least gotten back with me earlier."

"Jimmy, there is nothing more for me to say.. What is done is done. It's over. Nothing more. Finished.. now let me get on with my life.. and I suggest you do the same". Scarlet gulps the rest of her punch and tries to walk past but instead Jimmy grabs at her waist and tries to escort her to the dance floor. Ronnie Milsap's voice overpowered the air.

I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville
I found out those bright lights aint where I belong
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her
I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' home
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain

Scarlet's hesitation was left unnoticed and Jimmy's persistance won out. She found herself in his arms on the dance floor. Her fighting him only seemed to give him enjoyment and she quickly gave in, at least to a dance. They sashayed over past Robin and Gary. Robin gave an expression of puzzlement to Scarlet while she returned with a discusted look. Only a few mins more and she would find herself along the wall gossiping with Robin... at least.. she HOPED..

27. mars 2007, 17:52:17

Efphota slipped quietly behind the couple, as he followed, another man fall in behind the two. Now this was interesting. The two he could understand slipping away, but the third. As he ghosted from shadow to shadow, and from tree to tree they came to a battered shed that had a large smoke stack. What was the stranger doing? Following for what reason? He vanished into the shadows to wait and watch.........

27. mars 2007, 17:14:35

sally and Dan reached the edge of the wooded area, she glanced back and saw that the man she bumped into earlier was following them. This would work perfectly, she would get two with one blow.

she moved swiftly through the path by the lake that lead to her hiding place. Soon you could see the rustic brick chimney of the smoke stack. Hurry Dan, its just a little ways further she said.

Dan followed mindlessly, all he could think about was cory. When they reached the clearing in the woods, Dan saw a battered shed with a large smoke stack and wondered momentarily why sally lived in such a place. But those thoughts were fleeting. "where is Cory?" he asked breathlessly.

Inside, said sally, you go in first......

27. mars 2007, 16:04:40

From the shadows Efphota the half-breed Arapahoe Horse Wranger watched all of this take place. He notice both of the law man, the cowboys and the want-a-be being in their element. He wondered had did all of these fit together with what was going on in the back part of the ranch that laid next to the rez. Was it just chance that had brought all of these individuals together this evening. Or was there something more evil afoot........

Robin sat down by the barn door to get some of the fragrarent summer night breeze, she was very depressed tonight, her life was in a "standstill" and she was hoping someone would come in and 'would be the "One" to fill her dreams of love. She was causually looking around when she c aught sight of that darn Sally ushering Minere thru the trucks and into the woods. "what's she up to now?" She started to stand so she could get a better look when her left hand flew back and she heard a 'yipe'. She turned and looked straight into the chest of a very well built man. Her eyes turned upward and she looked onto the handsomest man she every saw. His eye were crystal blue and he had dark curly hair. "Excuse me there pretty lady, but the guy serving the punch said I might get you to point me out to Minere. I am the sherriff from Armstrong Co. and I need to get some information he asked for earlier. Its VERY URGENT. Robin came out of her daze and her adrenalyn started to flow, "why, he just followed Sally Jackson out into the woods, they were walking pretty fast , but here come with me I want to see where shes taking him in such a hurry, I just know she's up to no good."

27. mars 2007, 02:06:41

oops, supposed to be and THEN bolted away into the darkness. haha

27. mars 2007, 02:05:58

Mineare was curious about that girl. After he had caught her in his arms, she looked at him very seductive way and they bolted away into the darkness

. He wondered why he didnt know about this girl before now? He had to find out more. He decided to ask around about her.

27. mars 2007, 01:36:25

Sally watched as Dan walked over to Scarlet and began to talk to her. It was right that moment that she decided who would be first. She rubbed the onion extract into her eyes and scurried toward Dan and scarlet. Dan! Dan! she called. She ran up to Dan Matthews and grabbed his arm. Dan, your brother, he has been in an accident, you must come with me right away!

Dan turned when he heard his name being called and was surprised when Sally Jackson grabbed him arm. Cory? what happened to Cory?, he said in a strained voice. He was trying to climb over my back yard fence and ripped his leg open on a nail. I bandaged him and made him lay down, because he was feeling dizzy. You have to come with me right away!

Dan loved his little brother, Cory, more than anything and he didnt think twice about saying goodbye to scarlet and hurrying after Sally.

Sally knew that Dan was going to follow her and she felt a swell of pride at how good an actress she had become these last couple of years. He was falling very nicely into her trap.

26. mars 2007, 02:38:59

Cowboy Dan was lost in thought. This was the last place he wanted to be at the moment, he had other things on his mind. He pushed those thoughts aside and looked around the room. A lot of his friends were here and he knew he'd be glad he came later. He always felt better after being with his friends. As he walked about the room, he heard his name being called. He knew immediately who it was. She was the only one that called him Danny. Most called him Dan even though his given name was Daniel. He turned to look and saw Scarlet waving at him. She always brought a smile to his face.

"Hi Scarlet. Good to see you here tonight," he said. He walked toward her and removed his hat.

"So how is Scarlet doing tonight?" he said.

26. mars 2007, 01:19:08

Scarlet stood by the punch table glancing over the crowd.. nodding hellos and flashing smiles at the boys she recognized.. Just as Robin announced that Johnie was walking towards them Scarlets attention turned to him she was taken by his stroll. Scarlets hazel eyes widened and her lips opened into a dazzling smile. She tossed her head back allowing her golden ringlets to whisp past her shoulder.

Johnies smile made her melt and while she was mesmerized she failed to notice the red head approaching from behind.. The bubbly girl excused herself as she brushed on past both Robin and Scarlet and embraced Johnie. The young couple soon walked hand in hand over to the tables on the opposite side of the room. "Oh well" Scarlet sighed.. "plenty more fish in the sea I suppose". Glancing over at Robin she tried not to show her disappointment.

Oh My Goodness!! look who is here!! Scarlet points through the crowd and soon is shuffling through them as she tries to grab cowboy Dan's attention.. Oh DAN!! Danny!!

Robin slips around trying to keep up..

22. mars 2007, 00:17:58

Oh! Lookie there Scarlet, Johnnie is coming our way!!!!!!! I wonder if he will ask ME to dance! He is so totally awsome in that Black Stetson. Did any of you see him in that Rodeo riding that huge Bull of Buckey Lewis's Uncle Mack down in Pine? He won the record for staying on that Bull! THAT BULL has thrown so many riders. IO heard that Sallys dad lost a big deal of money on that ride! HE THOUGHT FOR SURE THE BULL WOULD WIN!! I hear that her dad might have to file bankrupcy too.

21. mars 2007, 22:03:46

Mineare Bigones was surprised to feel the thunk on his left side and even more surprised to see the scrawny young girl that made it. He instinctively grabbed out to break her fall and caught her by the waist. Her frame was tiny and she couldnt have weighted more than 100 lbs soaking wet. She wasnt unpleasant looking, but no beauty either. Her dark blond hair looked greasy although he could smell the shampoo remnants of freshly washed hair. "Whoooa, slow down young lady, Wheres the Fire?"

21. mars 2007, 21:56:21

Sally watched as the three bitch's strolled past her, with their noses high in the air. She saw the sudden nudge Scarlet gave Robin when Johnny Walker came into view. hum, Sally thought, Johnny huh, well he will be the first to go. Sally walked swiftly toward the back parking lot, her mother was helping with the food at the hoedown so she had access to the back door. She slipped silently into the barn and turned quickly to the right. THUNK she ran right into a tall muscular man standing in the hallway. Sally looked up into his face and apologized profusely. This man was remarkably handsome. He wore tight fitting western jeans, shiny black snake skin boots, a pearl button western shirt and a black cowboy hat, that sat slightly ajar on his head of thick black hair. He had the bluest eyes she had ever seen and a slightly rough looking completion.

21. mars 2007, 21:48:04

Sheriff Bigones pulled the cruiser into the spot marked "authorized personal only". He looked around to make sure no one was watching him and quickly got out of the car and hurried away from the police car, so no one could see where he came from. He slipped into the back entrance of the barn and began his work.

21. mars 2007, 06:52:57

Oh wow Robin,.. Look!!.. there goes Johnny now, Scarlet grabs her elbow and motions toward the Street lamp,.. I always did think he was such a cute one.. She quickly brushes off the wrinkles from her skirt and blouce, then reaches into her purse to clutch onto her ID and lip gloss.. She briskly runs a brush through her hair as she repositions the side mirror to reflect her youthful face. Finally, she smears the gloss smoothly over her subtle lips as she purses them into a silent kiss and stands ready for the group.

Oh my! she mumbles under her breath.. its Sally.. what the heck is shhhhhhhhhheeeeeeee doing here? Snubbing their noses a bit in the air the girls walk swiftly past..

21. mars 2007, 01:38:26

Sally leans against the post, scowling as she watches the popular girls get out of the cars. They were giggling and laughing like children. Those girls were the only thing that might stand in her way tonight. Luckily she had a plan for them.

20. mars 2007, 04:29:45

Emne: Re: story cont

Scarlet finishes brushing her hair and dawbs some lip gloss on.. *beep beep*..

She quickly rushes out the front door, excited about her evening out. The Annual Spring Hoedown was always a favorite event for the young ladies of the area.. for this is the time of year when the new Ranch hands would be around town having fun before the steady work of summer consumes them. And, it was also a time when the town would crown the Annual Spring Princess..

Hey all!! Scar quickly pushes out while she flings herself into the car and shuts the door..

The girls pulled up and parked along the curb. Pastel lights are swaying in the gentle breeze and the barn music blares over the speakers hung from the park lamps.. The girls look at each other giggling anticipating a nightful of fun..

19. mars 2007, 15:30:10

Emne: story cont

Sheriff Bigones sat at the table, newspaper clippings, magazine articles & books spread all around in front of him. He swiveled in the chair and began perusing through the microfeish records again. The Ranch had to hire 10 new men again this year, he had to get to the bottom of these mysterious disapperances this year.

19. mars 2007, 15:08:41

Emne: Murder at the Spring Thing

The Air smelled of Cherry Blossoms and Fresh Mowed grass. Sally took a long leisurely breath, relishing the rebirth of spring. Her thoughts were on this evening. Tonight was the Annual Spring Hoedown. There would be lots of new cowboys from the ranch attending. maybe this year she would find the right one.
