Disturbed by the last visitation and the revelation of myself in the library in different times, I needed to find some way of making sense of all this and, especially, to see if I could figure out what I was doing in two places, two times. For I was convinced that I had seen myself in the library alcove, so I needed to know what had happened to me (him) back then, and whether she too had left her trace in that time, another veil in place, another place in time.
Puzzling on this, I wandered back up the long avenue to the hall where I lived. And I spotted the old guy who looked after the grounds - hey, he must be seventy if he's a day. He might even remember something - I'd heard that he had worked the grounds all his life.
"Hey, Mack, got five minutes for a chat?"
"Sure do boy, any excuse for a smoke!"
"Hey, how good is your memory of when you first started here? There's some weird stuff I've heard, wondered if you knew anything about it." I continued on with some of what I had read in the papers about Grace and her disappearance.
"Before my time, boy, but I do recall something of the aftermath." And then he paused, looking long and hard at me, "do I know you, son?"
"Don't think you'd know me, only been here this last year. But what do you mean, aftermath?"
And he went on tell me that many years after Grace had disappeared, and after her parents had died, the police caught someone who knew just a little too much about the girl's last known days. And even though they never found her body, they found enough evidence to hang him for her murder. Fuck, this was getting weird.
"What did they find?"
"Dunno son, but they found it in the clock tower, whatever it was. And here's the strange thing for ya, ever since they hanged the bastard, the fuckin' birds in this place have just been fuckin' odd as you like. Lots of 'em for a start, and weirdest damn breeds I've ever seen in this town. Know somethin' else? Damn clock tower had a dove cote in it, once."
Now this was seriously strange.
Amazed and disturbed by this latest information, I made my farewells to old Mack, and kept on up the avenue to the residential halls. As I left him, Mack called after me, "I do know you boy, I seen your picture, I sure as shit know you from somewhere. I seen you, boy."
Crazy old bastard, how the hell could he have seen me in a picture? I'd only lived in this city less than a year. I came from a small rural town in the north of the state, no way could he have seen pictures of me. Hell, I'd hardly seen pictures of me.
"Fuck this, I need a drink." So I turned back on my tracks and made my way back to the bar, which was on the other side of the quad from the library. It was dark now, with a bright three-quarter moon climbing the cloud whipped sky. The moon was so bright that it cast a shadow from the clock tower. And the words of old Mack rang in my ears, "damn clock tower had a dove cote in it once."
And then, with a rush and a flash of silver wings, a huge owl beat the air around my head, talons drawing a skein of blood from my scalp. Instantly my prick hardened and I felt a surge in my guts and in my balls, whoa, here we go, here she is again. And then one last conscious thought, "that's one fucking big bird," before my mind switched into blind acceptance and instinct. Because I had no choice here, she was going to manifest somewhere, and I was going to be food and prey for her silver incarnation.
Ten minutes later, somehow, I found myself by the back stair of the library, where the old metal fire escape climbed the building wall up to the base of the tower. Like a zombie I climbed the cold stair till I reached a door. This must be the old caretaker's apartment, deserted now. Carefully I edged the door open, hinges rusty creaking, old paint flaking. But at least it was dry. Moon silver light spread through the room, and there on the bed in front of me, there lay the long body of a naked silver-sheened girl.
She was stretched out on the bed in front of me, arms straight above her head, hands linked together. Her long torso, spine straight, swept down to the most glorious swellings of her ass. Long strong legs, firm thighs and fulsome calves, long feet with long nails on her toes. Lean and long, she had the muscle tone of an athlete. Edging closer I saw a magnificent mane of long silver hair, thick and waved like some silver pre-Raphaelite painting, spread rich and long over the pillow.
Edging even closer I could see on the nape of her neck a small triangle of silver hair, almost like soft short fur, running down her neck to just above her shoulders. And the trail of fur-like hair was repeated in the cleft of her ass cheeks, thicker there.
And I heard a soft voice, not fully human but not something else either, softly sigh, "caress me, heat me." So bidden, I was commanded. So I carefully climbed onto the bed beside her and knelt above her, the cloth of my jeans touching her legs.
"Flesh, hot flesh," the sigh repeated and again I was commanded. So I stripped off my clothes and again knelt above her, my hot balls nestling on the crack of her ass. Her flesh was cool but not cold, her soft hair silken against the hair of my sac. I began to gently circle my fingers and the palms of my hands across her shoulders and up her strong, firm arms. I could feel the strength of her muscles under her skin, taut flesh, tight flesh. My fingertips trailed hot lines over her skin, softly, gently, caressing warmth into her. I felt more than heard a soft purr in her throat, and her body rippled and relaxed under me.
Encouraged, I circled my hands lower, over her shoulders and the upper part of her back. Pulling her long hair away from her neck I lowered my mouth to the downy triangle of hair and felt softness against my lips. I kissed her throat and she turned her head so I could also kiss her cheek. Her eyes were closed and again she nestled down lower under my touch, softening and warming as I caressed her. My own blood was moving now, and the soft coil of my cock began to fill and thicken. And as I did so, she pushed her ass back against me and my cock straightened against my belly and against her back. The bar of heat between us filled and throbbed and we pressed hard against each other.
I shifted my way down her legs, which she opened just a little to surround my now red hard, purple headed cock, a small throb in the main vein on its top side, beat beat beat with my heart-beat. My hands and fingers were now a long caress up and down her spine, along the long muscles of her back, over the tight curves of her sides. And my lips and tongue traced a mouth hot, tongue licked trail over the knubs of her spine, savouring the soft buzz of the fine down along the middle of her back. Sighing now, her legs widened under mine, pressing the heart of her groin down against the heat of mine, heat filling the flesh between us and the hot wetness from her hot centre.
I was kneeling then over her calves and her long feet, and they held and stroked my cock and balls. I could feel the cold edge of her long nails edge against the length of my rod, iron hard now, heat pulsing, a tiny tip of moisture dropping from the slit. My tongue now reached the downy triangle of hair at the top crease of her taut, tight ass, and my hands gently eased each firm globe away from the centre of her.
