Chapter 1
Ominous Morning
“I just can’t believe we have to go to school today, after that crazy storm and all.” I said staring out the picture window at the pre-dawn void.
“I heard the all the damage is south of the Base, trees are down all over the place wiping power out to most of the population down there.” Jessica really had no idea what she was talking about; she just parroted back what the TV had told her during breakfast.
There was a brief pause. Enough time has lapsed that I should have said something back but didn’t.
“Raina did you hear me? Raina…?”
But I didn’t hear my best friend only a slight pitch and whine coming from the 800mhz cordless phone as it moved away from my ear. I couldn’t stop staring outside into the darkness caught in some kind of trance. My arm fully relaxed, the phone rolled onto the living room sofa where the soft cotton and foam accepted it without a sound. Staring into the dark it grew more intense as if I could actually see something that normally existed only in our minds. It is hard enough to form a feeling into words, but I could see it. Captivated I felt warm, like light sunburn on a cool evening with the dearest of friends and family. “There it is,” I breathed, a fond memory formed in the dark like wisps of wind, then it became colder I felt the warm memories swept away truly gone and never to return. But that sense of foreboding and lose grew within my heart building upon itself until I could almost see the very manifestation of the past leading into the near future, and everything turned grey.
“RAINA!!!” the high pitch squeal of an impatient and spoiled little girl screamed on the other end of the phone.
Suddenly snapped back into reality I was very annoyed. I was climbing a great mountain in my mind and just before I reached the peak to peer into unknown this selfish little brat of a friend had to interrupt me!
Yessss,” hissing though my teeth like a snake. “But it doesn’t make any difference, because I’m not going to school today.”
“Wha… wait you cant do that if I have to you so do you!”
“But you don’t understand, my dad left in a hurry last night during the storm some emergency at the base, and he told me to stay here so that’s what I’m doing.” I spoke in a matter of fact tone that left Jessica stunned.
Raina’s parents had separated when she was very little. Growing up she lived with her mother and only spent the weekends at her dad’s house. They were both the best parents anyone could ask for. They split up because of her dad’s work at “The Base”. They had both worked at the base before Noreen’s pregnancy. Mitch was a High ranking officer, Noreen a lower level scientist and things had just clicked between the two of them. They kept it a secret for as long as possible until Raina that is; then everything came crashing down. Mitch came clean about the two of them explaining to his superiors how it happened. In an unprecedented decision they kept Mitch he was too important lose, but heads had to roll so they gave Noreen honorary discharge. Things got better for the two of them for a bit, they married and bought small mansion on a huge estate north of the base. Raina was the sunshine of their lives. As time marched on however activities intensified at the base requiring more and more from Mitch. One day Noreen took Raina and moved to an apartment in town just before she started elementary school; it was two weeks before Mitch knew anything was different. His work consumed him, he kept saying he had to be there to protect them that the others were pushing too hard and being too reckless, but it didn’t matter to her.
The “Base” was just that, a standard run of the mill no name top secret does-not-exist sort of thing the Army does; but no one really knows who’s up there. The surrounding towns knew it existed though, and they also understood it was not any normal training base. Soldiers had an unusual habit of going AWOL. The town’s folk had gotten used to hearing bits and pieces of unintelligible information from these soldiers who always spoke about project names and technical jargon. “Might as well been a foreign language he was spoutin’,” they would tell the investigators who showed up often before the towns’ people even saw anything of interest. Truth is in this little town people were just as happy to ignore and be ignored by things they didn’t understand. It had become a joke to most they used some of the project names they heard as a kind of light hearted superstition; when the wind blew hard or the winter was too cold they would say, “That’s the Arrow-Head project for ya!” But the Arrow-Head project was real and it was exactly as it sounds the absolute cutting edge of a long shot in the dark. Soon to hit an unknown mark no-one could have prepared for, not even Raina’s Father could prepare for what was coming.
I listened to Jessica’s silence knowing she was confused and trying to put the pieces together. I glanced out the window again searching for that feeling but it didn’t come only a cold chill which was odd considering how blisteringly hot it had been, and last night’s storm only made it worse by adding humidity. I realized the air conditioning was blowing right on my backside and with only a cotton pair of panties and a “Hello Kitty” t-shirt that was two sizes too small, I was a little chilled. I rubbed my hand across my belly my skin was tight and covered in goose-bumps; the AC had to go. I had my own personal thermostat in this part of the house and I headed over to it with thud thud thud of heavy footsteps on the thick plush carpet.
“Please Raina I don’t want to go alone.”
“Fine I don’t think daddy meant for me to skip school when told me to stay anyways.”
“Don’t joke around like that, it’s mean.”
“I’m sorry, but I found it terribly funny!” an evil smile crept across my face, “Well I’ve not had breakfast or anything so I’ll see you on the bus.” Truth is, I love Jess but sometimes she can be a real pain and right now I didn’t feel like talking much.
“What’s up your butt this morning?”
“Jessica… I’m sorry I just got up on the wrong side of the bed I guess, I’ll see you soon enough ok.” With that we said our good byes.
I was looking at the green numbers on the thermostat I didn’t feel like messing with it so I just hit the off button and it quickly flashed OFF three times on the green LED readout and went black.
I headed back to my room to gather some cloths for the day. It’s been so hot the past week I wanted to wear my short skirt. Daddy would kill me if he knew I even had it, but Jess and I got it at the mall about a month back and it had hid at the bottom of my dresser. Not that he would have noticed, he hadn’t been around much lately. He tried to make it home every night no matter what but it was often late and I pretended to be asleep when he came to check on me. The past month had been hell on him I really felt sorry for him deep down inside, but it was also a great opportunity. We had a maid for the house and the various grounds keepers so I couldn’t get too out of control but I could certainly get away with this. I slipped it on in front of the full size mirror. The skirt was a dark charcoal grey and pleated. The school dress code mandated all skirts be at least fingertip length when you hold your arms down by your sides, this barely came past my wrists I would have to be careful not to moon the world. It made my legs look so long and lean. I wasn’t one of the so called “attention whores”, but wearing this I could see why those girls liked it.
I was the quite girl; I made excellent grades and never really got into trouble. People called me a goodie two shoes or teachers pet and they got angry when I messed up the grading curve. I would turn a few heads today I would make sure of that. Thinking of the guys at school looking at me with those prying eyes almost willing a gust of wind into existence just to get a glimpse, I blushed and got a little turned on; I started to get moist.
I took the skirt off and grabbed some other cloths and tossed then into the bathroom. I was hungry and headed downstairs to the kitchen for some breakfast still in my panties and t-shirt. As I walked down the stairs the natural motion caused a rubbing between my legs on the already slick lips, and the feeling was intriguing. My teenage hormones racing, I felt my heart rate quicken. I reached the bottom and didn’t want the feeling to stop I put my weight on one leg and lifted the other pushing my knees together then rubbing my thighs together clutching the ball at the end of the banister a little too hard. I had only recently begun to feel such things; it was exhilarating to a degree that frightened me.
A loud whine and scratch took my attention to the main door. I had let Sid out last night and he didn’t come back in when I called. Sid was my two year old Great Dane. Dad got him to protect me when he couldn’t go out with me walking the estate, and Sid was big enough to back a bear off all right. He nosed his way in faster than I could open the big front door his hard nails clacking against the hardwood floor. Sid came in and shook as if he were wet then immediately turned hunched down a bit in his playful puppy way and pounced me. I have been his true companion since he was born, and with my father away most of the time, and the natural hate of the house and grounds keepers he truly loved and bonded with me. Sid now stood taller than me with his paws on my shoulders licking my face I squealed and tried turning away to miss the brunt of the literal tong lashing tossing my brown hair this way and that. Sid had grown much larger than he understands, it won’t me long till he knocks me over, which of course will make the game even more fun. I got him down and bent over patting my thighs acting like I would pounce him. He backed up hunched down again with his from paws outstretched and coiled on his back legs like he were praising me only he was jumping side to side in a very loud clumsy calmer of commotion. Then I said the magic word: Food. Sid shot past me in a speed that still surprised me to see inside the house. He went running into the kitchen where his feet had no more traction on the tile than the wood. I heard a loud crash as he hit the flimsy folding pantry door. Sid was really getting to be a bit much lately.
I fed him two big cans of food where he slurped it and what seemed like a half a gallon of water too. I walked over to the refrigerator got the bagels and set them on the counter went back for the cream cheese. I stood there looking down at the bottom drawer and smiled a little pretending I was wearing my short skirt, I bent over leaving my legs as straight as possible arching my back and lifting my put up as I went down for it. I playfully bumped my butt side to side as pulled the drawer out. As I reached in I felt a bump bump of a pointy dog snout right on my butthole! Squealing and startled I jumped forward into the fridge hitting my head on the shelf and nearly knocking the milk off. Sid jumped back as if to protect me, not understanding he was the reason for it. I pulled myself out of the fridge and turned sharply and stomped one foot on the ground while pointing toward my room, Sid understood this and sulked up the stairs to go to bed.
I ate myself a bagel and banana while watching the morning news. It was still early in the morning too early to be up, but Jess and I had gotten up to see if we had school or not after that horrible storm. There was damage all over Northern New England especially south of us around Long Lake. A local radio station here had been struck by lightning starting a fire needless to say it would be out for a while. Our school had been untouched; funny how these things work.
I started back up to my room thinking about just going back to bed. It was so early. Why did we have to get up this early to see if school was out or not? Why not just get up like regular? But alas here I am with two hours to waste before I meet Jess at the bus stop, or maybe I should call her back? I was a little tough on her. I think I’ll just take a long bath and some extra primping for my skirt’s debus. As I reached the top of the stairs I felt like I had stepped into an oven the heat and humidity combined to make it feel ten times hotter. Walking into my room I saw Sid asleep on the floor at the foot of my bed.
I went in to the bathroom and began running some water. I took my panties and shirt off while looking in the mirror. I had beautiful long brown hair that I felt was my most attractive feature. My breasts were still developing, my girlfriends kept telling me; they were much smaller than most “boob crazy” guys liked. I wanted bigger ones like women on TV had. I technically wore an A cup but sometimes I tried to stuff it and wear a B cup. My breasts are very firm and stay in place just fine, I only wear a bra to make them look a little bigger. I think it has something to do with how skinny I am, almost five foot four inches tall and just under a hundred pounds albeit still growing. I have nice wide hips and guys seem to go crazy over my butt. I was not really sexually interested in guys, but I did like to see them interested in me none the less. I loved to flirt a little and watch older guys squirm too. I didn’t have a boyfriend and certainly hadn’t had sex yet, and didn’t plan to. One girl in my school had gotten pregnant already; her parents took her out for home school. I swore that wouldn’t be me.
