Forgotten Memories.

Unknown

I have spent a lot of my time in these woods. I love the outdoors. There's nothing better than the cool breeze and the smell of pine and sage brush or the smell of the water in the river. That's what I love about being here so much. Just all of this is my happiness.

I was here for the week to go hunting and get the food stores back up. Plus, getting the furs for clothes and bedding. I may not like people much, but I like making things with the resources I find and selling them at the annual fall festival in the coming months. So I'm always staying busy with the farm and out here when I have time to come do the hunting and trapping. They are my favorite things going on in my life.

I was getting firewood stacked when heard then saw a 4-wheeler zipping on the road above me. I thought what the hell nobody is allowed here on my property without permission there are signs posted, so I decided I'd go find out who the hell was trespassing on my property, I walked up to the road the way the 4-wheeler went, and eventually I found it, but no people was around, so I waited around for them to come back.

40 minutes later and still nothing, so when the sun started disappearing behind the mountain top I left a note stating they were trespassing and if they were still there in the morning, I'd call the law. Leaving the note on the four-wheeler I set off for my home well cave at the moment. But I made it my home for now. I've been building a cabin on the ranch, and it should be ready to roof within the next few weeks and I can just use the cave for hunting stays. Yeah, that's my plan for now anyway.

By the time I reached the cave, it was dark outside. I went through the hidden back entrance as it's closer than going around the rocks or down the cliff side to the main entrance. This is faster and easier. I entered feeling prickly like there was a presence there, but it was dark, so I couldn't really see any thing just felt it, I kept going wary of the feeling I was not alone. I ended up stumbling over that damn rock I've tried chipping out before I kill myself with it the damn thing anyway.

I heard a sharp intake of breath and stopped, frozen shît there was someone in here. fûck I couldn't see anything, I didn't know what they wanted or who they were. Slowly, I went a bit closer. I could see a small frame sitting against the wall with the lightning flashing inside. A woman. Hmm, "Why are you hiding in my cave?" I asked. In my deep baritone voice, I saw the silhouette jump as if I scared her. She let out a scream so loud my ear drums vibrated wildly. She stammered,

"I..i...I don't know, I just found it for shelter from the night I'm.... I'm sorry! I didn't know anyone was here, really. I meant to harm!" she thought I'd kick her out. I'm sure! I noticed it was difficult for her to move, so I asked, "Are you injured?" Did you fall? as I walked closer. without thought I grabbed her arm.

She jumped and yelped. "It's ok," I said "sorry I didn't mean to scare you. Come with me, I'm sure you are thirsty and hungry, "she nodded. But realizing it was dark, she said "Yes I am OK." I went to help her up but had to move my hand down her arm to her hand. Taking it in mine, I felt the heat spread through me.

I helped her to stand up. The way her legs were shaking, and she wobbled, reminding me of Bambi and how he couldn't walk. I smiled at that thought. I asked, "Are you ok to walk?" she said yes and took a few steps. She stumbled, so I grabbed her waist quickly to support her with my chest to her back. "Are you sure you're alright with walking? You're hurt. Let me carry you."she said no, she just lost her balance and continued. God, she smelled good this close to her. Damn stop it William, you can't think like that she is hurt and scared.

I was brought from my thoughts by her moving. She made it 4 steps and almost fell again. I kept hold of her hips. She was breathing like she ran a marathon."You are a stubborn little one. I see. Let me help you, please. I promise no ulterior motives here. I just want to eat soon", she nodded her head, and with a chuckle, I scooped her up bridal. She held around my neck for dear life, damn she's so soft. When I got closer to the living alcove, I was able to see more of her face, even with the cuts and bruising. She was so beautiful, my hell. She was gorgeous.

I set her to her feet and made sure to steady her before leaving her to stoke the fire. When I was done setting the kettle up, I turned to see her looking around. Man, I wanted to hug and kiss her and tell her it was OK. That I wouldn't let anything happen to her anymore. I don't understand this feeling . As I looked up, I saw her face was bright red. It made me smile. Maybe I wasn't the only one struggling with my heart in my throat. I said," Sit, I'll clean you up and make some food." I pointed at the big stump I hauled in to make a chair out of to sit while I went to get a bowl and rags.

When I came back, I poured the warm water in from the kettle and started cleaning the cuts she had on her face. I asked her what happened, and she told me what she could remember. I was surprised by what she said and before i replied, I heard walking and voices. I shot up and grabbed her from behind. Covering her mouth and walking backward to the small room. Whispering for her to stay there and be quiet, she nodded, and I let her go. When I faced her, she was scared to death. I told her it was OK and to wait there, and the name Bambi slipped out. Oops, but she didn't seem to care.

I ran from the room to the outer area and was met by three men, 2 in uniform and the other in black clothing. I asked what they were doing in my cave, they were surprised anyone was in here with them. I told them this is my private property, and they were actually trespassing.

The uniformed men said they were looking for a girl who was lost, and they had seen tracks that were near here, and thought she may seek shelter here, I played it cool. Not giving away anything, I asked what she looked like and was shown a picture of her.

It was my bambi, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, only different. I'll protect her with my life. OK, stop not now, William s**t!! That girl scattered my brain," Um.. Yeah, I've never seen her before, but I'm only here about a week out of a month for hunting, but if I see her, I'll call the law or inform you." The biggest of the two in uniforms stepped forward and said, "If you see her detain her and call us not the law, " as he handed me a card. I took the card and looked at it. Hmm, what does a busy company want with this girl? so I asked. "Is she in some kind of trouble? Why are you looking for her in the woods? I don't know what she would be doing out here. You're all city dwellers, so I don't get it." the man with no uniform says to me." That's not your concern. The only thing that should happen is that you hold her if you see her and call immediately understood!"

"Yeah, sure," I replied, thinking, fûck you, dude, I get the feeling he did this to her, and she got away from him, hmm.. Asŝhole if he did, I'd kill him myself. Breathing to calm the raging storm inside of me, "Well, if that's all, I was about to make supper. Please leave my property tonight, or I'll be forced to call the law." With that, I walked away a short distance and waited to make sure they left the cave and were gone by the time I went back to her, so I followed them till they were away from the river entrance.

I waited for a few minutes and headed back inside. She was sitting on the floor with her head on her knees. She looked up, and all I saw were the big fat tears marking her pretty face. I went on instinct and grabbed her. "Hey, hey, it's OK. I got you, Bambi, it's OK." She started sobbing, saying. She can't! what?? She can't, no! No! She is not going anywhere!, so I stopped her talking. "No sweet girl. You aren't going anywhere. Whether you remember anything or not, you are not going anywhere. I'll help you figure this out.

C'mon let's finish cleaning you up". I held her small hand in mine as I led her out to the stump chair and sat her down using the rags and the bowl. I cleaned her face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, and legs. When I was done, I went and emptied the bowl and refilled it with clean warm water and set by her and told her I'd get clothes to change into if she wanted to clean up. She nodded yes, so I went and got her a shirt and a pair of my boxers and left them for her.

I told her "I'll be back," and went to get wood and maybe give her enough time to wash and change. I walked to where I had left my cut-up wood and stacked a good pile before heading back. I dropped two loads and brought the 3rd inside. She should have had enough time to clean and dress. Oh, hell, I was so wrong shît! "I'm sorry I didn't"__ she cut me off "No..no I'm sorry I was waiting for you." ohh, well damn that shît went straight to my c**k fûck! No, no, don't think like that! "Yeah, what do you need?" I replied, Her face flushed,"Can you help clean my back? There's umm.. Cuts um I can't reach." Clearing my throat, I slowly walked to her, noticing how she held the shirt I gave her to her chest. When I reached her, she handed me the rag she used and turned around.

Omg, this woman is going to kill me. She is so sexy, even with the cuts and bruises, she's beautiful. When I touched her I felt like I was electrocuted, electricity flowed through my body straight to my c**k fûck now I'm hard as a rock and I need a distraction as soon as I get the cuts and her back clean. I left her to dress, and I went to empty the bowl and get more wood shît What am I going to do? I can't have her like this. She's scared and alone and confused. I say, "I'm going to start the food. I looked at her standing there groaning. I said," Dress! Bambi, please." I pleaded. She giggled as I walked out.
