CHAPTER 30
The Big Valley
by Douglas DD
This story contains sex between minor boys and teen-agers. If such things offend you, or you are not at least 18 years of age, then please don't read on. This story is not true, but who knows, maybe some day it will be.
The two groups of boys stood looking at each other. The Hakaanen boys said something, but of course Scooter and Douglas had no idea what it was. They didn't bother saying anything back. They just smiled and held their hands out.
"It works in the vids," Douglas told Scooter.
"I hope they saw the same vids then," Scooter replied.
"I wish we could talk to them somehow. We can't stand here forever."
"I wonder," Scooter said.
"Wonder what?"
"If thoughts are in languages, or are something else?"
"Huh?" Douglas wasn't quite sure where Scooter was going. Then he recognized the look of concentration on Scooter's face. Scooter was trying to send his thoughts to the alien boy just like he tried sending them to him. He could tell Scooter was thinking harder and harder. Finally he let out his breath. The two alien boys were still looking at him. Something had to be done quickly.
Douglas tried to make contact too. All he got was a small headache.
"What about both of us, Douglas?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not sure. Send your thought to me. Then I send it to the big boy on the right. Let's try it."
"We are from Earth. We come in peace."
The Hakaanen boy opened his eyes up wide. The thoughts were loud but Douglas could understand them. "I'm Bandar. Who are you? Where are you from? How did you get into my mind?"
Douglas heard it but Scooter fell down on his butt. His eyes were open wide and he moaned. Douglas bent over him.
"Scooter! My love! Are you okay!!??"
Scooter shook his head. "Wow. Yeah. I got hit hard by his thoughts."
"Did you understand them?"
"No. It was like noise. Send me another thought to send him, to keep it quieter."
"Send your thoughts back quietly. It is too hard and hurts us," Scooter send to boy in front of him.
"Scooter, as soon as you feel it send it to me. Maybe that will make it weaker and work the opposite of what we were doing."
Scooter set himself, ready he hoped for whatever hit him. He was concentrating on Douglas when a thought blasted him and shook him, but he sent it right toward Douglas. Douglas could feel the power of the thought but he held steady and it went through Scooter.
It is working, Scooter. I got it. I understood him. This is so weird. The thoughts have to go from me to you to him and then back that way. It's like my brain and your brain need to work together, but you can't understand any of it."
"I'm like a communications satellite or something."
"Exactly. Your acting as a relay. It's so weird."
They found out that the boy's name was Bandar and that he was called a Hakaanen.
Douglas decided to try more. "Bandar, I am Douglas. My friend is Scooter. We are from a distant planet called Earth. Our ship crashed here and we are lost and far from home."
"Just the two of you survived?"
"There are thirteen of us." Douglas thought it was too complicated to try to explain about the two different crashes.
"Thirteen? Where are they?"
Douglas wasn't sure whether to trust Bandar. Alex had suggested holding back a couple of guys in reserve in case there was trouble. But Douglas didn't want to split them. They might never find each other again. Whatever they faced they would face together. Besides, they had been through so much, it was time to stop, no matter what happened. And in the end, he really didn't have a choice but to trust the naked boy in front of him, so he held nothing back.
"Across the road in the woods."
"Tell them to come out. We won't hurt any of you."
Douglas turned around and waved to the woods. The bushes all moved and suddenly eleven boys came walking out, skinny, scared, with long matted hair, and even after swimming, still a little dirty.
"Welcome to the Fire Planet," Bandar said.
Douglas told the group what Bandar told them.
"We call it Inferno."
"Good name." And he smiled at the group.
The other Hakaanen boys came out from behind their bushes. They all sat in the grass and Bandar and Douglas continued to exchange thoughts. Bandar seemed to be the only one they could send thoughts to and he didn't seem to need help like he and Scooter did. Douglas told them the story of how they got to Inferno. And he found out why the Hakaanen had so few cars and no fliers and such. Bandar told how they had been cut off from their home planet for so many years.
This was a big disappointment. All the way to the valley they were hoping that whoever lived here could somehow find a way to get them home. Now it looked like they were trapped on Inferno for the rest of their lives. A lot of the excitement left Douglas. They had been through so much and gone so far, and it seemed like it was all for nothing. Now all they could hope for was that these people who called themselves the Hakaanen were really as friendly as they seemed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Robert Charles woke up suddenly, wondering who was beside him. He reached and felt the soft breast of the native girl. Oh man, he thought, was she ever good in bed. He figured she was thirteen in Earth years, but she sure knew her stuff. It was the best fuck he ever had. Well, second best. Somehow that little Matthew kid was the best. Gawd, what a tight little ass he had. Too bad that asshole Douglas left him behind buried in the sand. He'd love to have that eleven year old ass now.
He got up out of bed to take a pee. At least these weird people had modern plumbing. Some things they had were so modern and up to date, and some were so old fashioned. They were definitely weird. But if they wanted to kick some ass, he would help them, especially if that fucking Douglas and his group were on the receiving end.
He pissed and went into the kitchen. Vordkan was sitting there, wearing just a cloth around his middle. Robert Charles could see it was tented out. He's seen Vordkan hard and he was impressive. Robert Charles figured him at around seventeen. They were learning how to communicate pretty well. He figured out that tomorrow they were going to leave early to find the "Moonduster" and maybe some weapons. He wondered what they had planned for today. And what they had planned later for the wusses who lived across the hills in the big valley.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Matthew yawned and looked out the window. He could tell it was late and he had slept in. Enghar was sleeping next to him. Matthew petted the little alien boy's mane. He was amazed byhow much Enghar was beginning to mean to him. He was learning some Hakaan words, but somehow they could communicate without them.
He loved Enghar's mane. It was so soft and smooth. It felt like silk. And Enghar loved having his pointed ears touched..
He wondered when he would be able to meet some of Enghar's friends, and if they were like Enghar, who never seemed to be dressed, even when he went to school the day before.
Enghar lay there while Matthew petted his mane. The Hakaanen loved having their manes stroked. It was very erotic. And Enghar loved it as much as anybody. He could feel himself getting hard. He didn't know it or understand it, but he was falling in love with the sweet round eared boy. He turned slowly over and kissed him. Matthew kissed him back, deep and lovingly.
"Mattoo, ost lesha drey," he whispered.
"Engar, I love you," Matthew whispered back.
Without knowing each other's language, each boy instinctively knew what was said. On Earth or on Hakaan, love was love and couldn't be disguised.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Douglas was trading thoughts with Bandar when suddenly it was like Bandar's thoughts were breaking up, he could only get a few words and they were jumbled. Scooter yelled at him to stop.
"My head hurts. I can't keep going."
"Doing the thoughts is hurting Scooter. We have to stop for now, Bandar."
"Okay. We'll wait until Scooter is ready. My head kind of hurts too."
They stopped. Douglas could feel the strain too. He knew it must be doubly hard on Scooter, because he had to relay the messages both ways. Scooter lay flat on his back. Ryan brought him some water as Douglas put his arm around him.
"Are you okay, my sweet?"
"Yeah. I just need to rest. That was hard."
It's so weird, Douglas thought. Scooter can't communicate his thoughts with Bandar. I can't do it. But together we can. And the same with it coming back. It had to go through Scooter, and only Bandar could seem to do it. Well, at least they could communicate, and they were finding that these Hakaan boys were very interesting people.
They talked about what they had learned. And by the looks of it that was what the Hakaanen boys were doing too. The boys, except Bandar, who was older, looked to be between 12 and 15. Bandar seemed to be their leader. But he didn't look like he was bullying anybody, everybody just seemed to listen to him. The most amazing thing they learned was that sex between boys was looked at as being totally natural. Kids hardly ever wore clothes, and adults didn't wear them much either.
They noticed some of the Hakaanen boys seemed to be getting used to them. They were holding hands and kissing and hugging. Douglas could swear a couple of them, who looked around eleven, had a dry cum back by one of the bushes. The Earth boys held hands or hugged some, but they were too tired and hungry to do much more but get boners.
"Scooter, I need to tell Bandar something."
"What?" Douglas could tell that Scooter was very tired.
"That we need food. Or hadn't you noticed?"
Scooter thought about his grumbling stomach and looked at the group of skinny boys. "Only about every five seconds," he said with a little laugh. He took a deep breath. "Go for it."
"Bandar, it's been a long time since we had much of a meal. We are all very hungry. Do you think...."
"Don't say anymore. We can swim and make out some other day. Let's go take care of all of you."
Sending Bandar's thoughts is what took it out of Scooter. He could read Douglas's thoughts almost as easily as breathing. But going back and forth to Bandar was hard.
Sending wasn't so bad, it was about the same as sending to Douglas, it was just getting Douglas's thoughts and sending them just right took a lot of concentration. But getting Bandar's thoughts wore him out. All he got in his head was like static and it was loud. Sending whatever it was to Douglas was different from sending his own thoughts because he didn't even know what it was he was sending or if he was sending all of it. And he found out from Douglas that when he started getting tired Bandar's thoughts started to get all jumbled.
Scooter noticed the Hakaanen boys starting to get up. "What did he say?"
"He said something like...let's eat."
They all went back across the road to get their back packs. The Hakaanen let the Earth boys have the wagon to ride in. They walked or jogged along behind. Two of them ran ahead to tell the adults in their village of their discovery.
Bandar's village was at the opposite end of the valley from Enghar's village. There were a dozen villages in the valley, plus two larger towns, including was the capital city of the valley. A lot of people lived on their farms. And there was also the Shkah in the smaller valley over the north hills.
Other than the mayor of the village, the people of Bandar's village knew nothing of the finding of Matthew, so when the wagon full of Earth boys approached the village, they were totally amazed. Now word was going to be spread fast. It was a lot harder to keep thirteen boys secret than it was one boy.
The boys were taken to the center of the village and into a large building. The building was the village school. The boys were taken to the cafeteria. Some adults showed up with food, and pretty soon a meal was being cooked up. And before they knew it, for the first time in weeks, they were sitting down to a hot cooked meal made with fresh meat and fresh vegetables. On top of that they had salads made of delicious fruits and vegetables. They ate until their stomachs hurt.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Enghar showed Matthew his crutches and gave him some quick lessons on how to use them. Matthew could get around on his own now, which made him very happy. The two boys went outside into the sunny backyard. Enghar brought a couple of games out. The electronic games were all old. Inferno had no way to make new things. Everything new had come from Hakaan, and now they were cut off. The electronic toys were hand-me-downs. Sometimes the parts from worn out ones were used to keep another game going. But most of the games and toys now were hand made ones. All of the things the Hakaanen had were wearing out or being kept for special uses. Every day they kept their radio on hoping to get a signal from a ship coming in from Hakaan.
The game they decided to play was kind of a combination board and card game that was simple but hard. Simple enough that Enghar could teach it to Matthew without having to use words, but hard enough that it was full of all kinds of strategy. Matthew looked at Enghar. He couldn't believe the feeling he had for him. He wished his friends and his big brother were here so he could share everything with them. He was so happy and warm and sad at the same time. As much as he was starting to love Enghar he wished deep inside for his friends, and way deep inside to be home with his parents. As bad as they were sometimes they were still his parents. He never thought he would miss them like this. "I wonder if they miss me?" he thought suddenly. He shook his head trying to get the thought out. The scary thing was, they just might not.
Matthew wasn't very good at the game. Enghar won every time, but they both could see that Matthew was getting better. Enghar sometimes would show Matthew what he should have done right after he made a play.
After the game they worked on learning words. Enghar was trying to help Matthew learn the Hakaan language. Enghar had heard his parents talk about having a retired teacher start coming in to teach him to speak. Enghar figured it would be easier if Matthew knew some words. Matthew was smart and a quick learner. Already he could name dozens of things. If this was going to be his home for the rest of his life, he figured he better start learning how to live here. And if everybody was like Enghar and his family this was a pretty cool place to be. Already he had gotten more hugs and little kisses from Enghar's parents than he had during the last three years from his own parents. They treated him just like he was a member of their family.
Enghar won one more game. But it was closer. Matthew liked the game and knew he would be equal to Enghar real soon. Enghar gave Matthew a kiss, and they put the game away. They moved to a two person seat and sat and hugged. It didn't take long for more to happen. Enghar's mother saw them making out through the window. She turned away to give them their privacy. She smiled. It looked like her son had a friend, lover, and maybe a brother. Now if they could just find out where he came from and how he got buried under the sand.
If she could find who did that to the sweet boy in her son's arms she would tear his eyes out.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vordkan and Robert Charles were each on a unicorn. Robert Charles had ridden horses on Earth and riding a unicorn wasn't much different. Vordkan was showing Robert Charles how to use the swords while riding a unicorn. Robert Charles picked up the idea quickly. He was hitting and slicing melons riding and hardly ever missing. The Hakaanen did this as sport. They hadn't fought each other for centuries. But as far as the Shkah were concerned that was going to end. They were going to have their beliefs win out. And they were going to get all the technology back. The Hakaanen in the valley wouldn't know how to fight. If Robert Charles had the weapons he described to them then the fight to get the big valley under their control would be a short one.
Robert Charles went after another melon. Whack! Perfect! Right in half. Damn he was good. He wondered what kind of reception the boys were getting from the Hakaanen. He hoped they were being treated like the pieces of shit they were. He didn't know much about the Hakaanen, but they must be pretty awful people if they were hated so much by the Shkah. Already, in a couple of days, he was learning a lot. And he would soon be learning more.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The mayor of Awanstor was on the radio talking to the Governor of the colony. He told him about the boys that were found by the lake.
"They sound like the boy that was found in the desert. Now we kind of know the story of how they got here. Amazing that a group of boys can do what they did. Pilot a space ship to a planet, land it, and make it through that hell desert to find a this valley. I'm not sure I believe it all. There has to be some adults involved," the Governor said. "How did you find this all out? Do they know our language?"
"No. Apparently they just communicated somehow with Bandar. They were vague about that."
"Okay, if there are adults involved, then where are they. We need to be very cautious and watchful here. I am suspicious of these boys."
"I don't think any of our young ones could do what they did," they Mayor said, ignoring the Governor's remark.
"We spoil our young ones. They are soft. Life here, even with our things breaking down, is soft and easy," the Governor said.
"Maybe. But we had the same soft life. We seem to be doing okay."
"But how long can the valley survive if our machines break down?"
"We can still make parts from other machines. And Grendon says in five more years we won't need the machines running all the time. The atmosphere won't be all we want but it will stay steady if we run the machines half the time. But we're not there yet."
"Let's hope we never need to find out what life is like without those machines running," the Governor said.
"Now comes the question if we tell those round eared boys about Mattoo, the lone boy?" the Mayor asked.
"Why not?"
"We're thinking maybe they are the ones who left him to die under the sand. Our boys say they seem really nice, but they are aliens. We don't know how they think."
"How could young ones act like that? Even the Shkah don't act that cruelly."
"They are aliens. We don't know how they think. Maybe they act nice and are cruel to each other. I think we should wait until we learn more."
"Okay. I agree then. I'll let the doctor and his wife know. They will have to tell their son before he lets Mattoo know. He might become fearful if they are like you think."
"Thank you, Governor. Maybe this is all for nothing, but I don't want to see harm come to that young one. From what I heard he could easily be Hakaanen by the way he is acting around the doctor's little one."
They hung up their phones. "And how long are the phones going to last?" the Governor thought. Everything is either wearing out or being taken apart to make parts for the atmosphere making machines. They weren't supposed to be on their own just yet. They still were depending on supplies from Hakaan, supplies that they haven't seen in 25 years. He wondered what was going on now on his home planet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bazel and Arkron were discussing their trip to the desert; how much water to take, how much food and how much they could trust the alien young one. A couple of other Shkah men were there. One of them thought killing off the alien was a good idea. As soon as they got the weapons, use one of them on him. But he was voted down, they might need him later. And Vordkan seemed to like him. Finally, as much as they were different, deep inside the were still Hakaanen and they weren't that cruel and sneaky. But they all admitted they didn't really trust the alien boy.
They figured out that the boys who had come to the large valley had kicked Robbachass out of their group, and mostly because he tried to be a firm leader. Well, the same thing happened to them. They got kicked out of the great valley because they tried to be firm about how to use the machinery and technology they had left after the robot ship came with its message. So they felt like they had a lot in common with the alien boy. But they weren't sure how he would react when he saw his own kind. Whose side would he be on then?
The Shkah man who had talked about killing Robert Charles came up with an idea they liked. While Robbachass was leading Bazel's party to their crashed ship, they would kidnap a couple of the alien boys. They should have no trouble learning where they were, and Hakaanen never guarded anything, so the whole thing should be easy. This would be a good step in their battle with the big valley. The Shkah mostly messed up Hakaanen farms on brief small raids. Now it was time to really make them think. And they would be less likely to react hard to an alien boy disappearing than to one of their own being kidnapped.
From what Robbachass said the party should be gone for a week. The unicorns travel fast, but they had to find the crash too. That would not be easy. They figured that with a couple of days to plan and do some spying, they would do the kidnapping in four or five days. When Robbachass came back a couple of his own kind would be prisoner here. And how he reacted to them and treated them would say how much they would trust him. It might even tell whether he would live or die.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The thirteen boys were kept together in the gym of the school. Cots were brought for them to sleep on. Bandar told them that the village council was going to take care of them for now, and that the council for the whole colony was going to meet in a couple of days to decide what to do. For now they could all stay together in the gym. They would do anything they could to make them comfortable.
A table of treats and drinks was laid out for them. The cots were all set up. Even some kind of vid machine was brought in and Bandar showed them how to use it. Bandar was becoming pretty important since he was still the only one who could communicate thoughts with the Earth boys.
Bandar was hoping to maybe have some sex with the strange looking visitors some day. Even though they looked strange, with rounded ears and no manes, they also looked very sexy. But he knew it wouldn't be tonight. He could see that they were tired and a little scared. But he was hoping it could happen soon. If you change the ears and add a mane they didn't look any different. And more than one boy thought the Hakaanen had a sexy look too.
After Bandar left, Douglas called a meeting of the whole group.
"Well, guys, we're here in the valley. Warm and fed and comfortable. And still kind of lost it looks like. The question is what do we do now?" Douglas said.
"You mean you don't know?" Jeremy asked and everyone laughed. They knew what Douglas meant.
"I know this much," Douglas said. "We can't let them split us up. We might never all find each other again, especially if we get moved out of this village. This valley isn't huge, but it's big enough to get lost in."
"But do we have a choice?" Mike asked.
"I don't know. I don't know what they are like. The kids are nice, awesome in fact. The adults have treated us great. But that is just this village. Who knows what this colony council is like."
The twins were snuffling some. They had been upset since they figured out there was no way off of the planet and no way back to their parents and family. Right now all the wanted was some house to live in. They looked around the gym and knew that this wasn't it.
"We just have to tell them," Alex said. "At least we're lucky and can communicate."
"And what if they act like adults and don't listen because they think they know what's best for us?" Travis asked.
"Then we do the best we can to hang together. Is everybody with me on this?
Until we find out more, we don't let ourselves get split up. We hang together even if it means running off to the woods. I mean we survived a desert with no food and water. We should be able to make it in some woods." Douglas looked at the group waiting for an answer.
"I'm with my love," Scooter said.
"We're with you," Mike and Alex said.
When they got done four of them didn't agree. They wanted the wandering and moving around to stop now. Jordan, Braden, and the twins voted to go wherever they were asked. The vote was 8-4, with Douglas as leader not voting.
"If we do get split, are you going to stay with us?" Douglas asked.
"We need tonight to think about it," Braden answered.
"Fair enough. And the rest of us will have to think if we want to leave you four to yourselves. All of us think hard. We got here by sticking together through hard times. Let's not let what looks like good times tear us apart. We still have a lot to learn about our hosts."
They went to their cots. Nobody was surprised when the cots were put into pairs. Scooter and Douglas. Alex and Mike. Travis and Ryan. Braden and Jeremy. Stevie and Jim. Jordan was by himself. The only thing he was wishing for was some of his dad's vodka. He wondered if the Hakaanen had alcohol. The twins, Drew and Drake, had their beds close but not together.
The boys were fed now. They'd had water. They were pretty clean. Tomorrow, it was promised, they would be very clean since the showers would be unlocked in the morning.
And most importantly, they were very horny.
Drew could hear the noises of kissing and sex. He was very hard.
"Drake, I want to show you what I learned."
"What's that?"
"Just slide your bed over."
Drake did. Drew put his hand on Drake's dick. He couldn't believe he did that, but after being around this group it seemed totally natural instead of totally weird.
"It's this." And Drew started to stroke his twin brother's little cock.
All thirteen had an orgasm before an hour had gone by. For three of them it was dry. And for one it was his first ever. Nobody had thought of including Jordan, who jerked himself to a dry cum. Ten of them slept in each other's arms on the double cots. Only Jordan and the twins didn't. The lights were out and the breathing deep as the boys slept in some kind of a bed for the first time since their last night on the "Starkeeper."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The council members and the mayor were busy with a conference phone call.
"Then it's agreed," the mayor said. "We have the homes set aside. Tomorrow afternoon we move them to families in this village, the neighboring village, and the farms. We have enough places now for them to stay. This will be hard on them for now, but until we can figure out what to do with them, it's all for their own good."
"I agree. We'll try to let them get together, maybe on weekends," the councilman who had been put in charge of taking care of the boys said. "But having them in a home for now is the best thing for them. We'll move them after lunch with Bandar's help. I'll talk to him tomorrow morning."
The councilmen and the mayor all hung up knowing they were doing the best thing for the young ones.
The boys were snuggling close. Douglas loved the feel of Scooter's arm around him. He couldn't sleep. He was worried about them being split apart. He knew it wasn't the best thing for them right now. They'd been through too much together to get broken up as soon as they found safety.
Matthew was in Enghar's bed this time. He missed his friends. He was missing his parents less and less, and he was loving his Enghar more and more.
Robert Charles was sleeping alone. They would be waking up before dawn. He was ready for the trip. And ready to show the Shkah that he was with them. He hoped they could get to the laser guns. He couldn't wait to have one in the faces of Douglas, Alex, and Mike.
