“Are you ready yet, Chris?” Anthony was packing up the pick-up truck with their gear for their camping trip.

They were meeting up with some friends of theirs, that was camping out for the week. The camper they had rented was attached to the back of the truck. He checks the ice coolers, till he could connect the camper to a power source.

“Coming!” Chris comes skipping out of the house wearing a pair of blue jean shorts and a cool tie-dye t-shirt, mirrored sunglasses and black tennis shoes. Carrying a bright pink gym bag.

Anthony just shakes his head. He has known Chris since they were in elementary school. He was a little shock when Chris told him, that he was transgender. Still, that didn’t stop him from being Chris’s friend. If nothing else, it strengthened their relationship.

Chris’s father, on the other hand, took it as a betrayal and put Chris in the hospital. He found Chris laying on the floor bleeding from his groin area. If he hadn’t called the police and paramedics when he did, Chris would have died.

Chris tosses her gym bag into the back of the truck “I’m ready.”

“Only one bag this time?” Anthony couldn’t believe it.

“Yes, only one bag. Your mom taught me how to compact and fold my clothes, so it takes up less space.” Chris grabs the small cooler from the truck bed and takes it into the cab of the truck with her.

“Remember, we have a four-hour drive ahead of us.” Anthony gets in on the driver side.

“I know. I’m wearing my poise pad.” Chris had bladder problems now thanks to what her father did to her.

Her father damaged her testicles and penis when he kicked her in the groin area. Her testicles had to be removed and her penis had shrunk.
She told the doctor that she didn’t want testosterone hormone replacement, but estrogen replacement. So, she was taking estrogen now and her body was filling out. As it was, her testosterone levels were low for someone her age. She always looked and had the mannerism of a girl.

She slips her tennis shoes off and put her feet up on the dash as Anthony drove. She had small feet and was short in stature. Plus, she just painted her toe nails a nice purple color. Anthony on the other hand was 6’ ft. tall and very muscular. He played football since they were in elementary school. She, on the other hand, was into gymnastics and on the swim team. She wanted to take ballet, but her father wouldn’t let her. She had a hard time convincing him to let her take gymnastics.

“So, who’s all coming on this camping trip?” Chris looks over towards her friend.

“Edward, Jimmy, and Bruce. They are meeting us there.” Anthony knew Chris and Jimmy didn’t get along very much. He was Bruce's best friend and where Bruce went, Jimmy normally went.

“Geez, four guys and one girl. What is a girl supposed to do?” Chris glances over towards Anthony.

“You’re not 100% yet a girl, Chris. Just try and get along with Jimmy.” Anthony glances towards Chris.

“As long as he doesn’t say hey fake girl, or faggot. Why does Bruce put up with him anyway?”

“Because they are cousins. Now, let’s change the subject.” Anthony turns the radio on.

Chris grabs her Fire Kindle and reads one of the novels she bought. The drive was stopped and go at first, but once they got out into the country. The ride was pleasant and traffic free.

“Horses.” Chris had spotted a bunch of horses as they drove by a farm.

“Do you know how to ride a horse, Chris?”

“Nope never rode one in my life. I wouldn’t mind learning though.” Chris glances over towards Anthony to see what he was thinking.

“Maybe we can go in a few weeks. I know a guy from work that owns some. He does trail rides on the weekend.”

“Sounds like fun. Did your boss give you a hard time about going camping for two weeks?”

“Nope, he was happy I was taking some time off.” Anthony was glad to get away for a while.

They make a pit stop at a Hardee’s for an early lunch. When Chris walked into the resturant, several local guys turned their head to look at her.
She put a little sass in her walk as she walked up to the counter to place her order.

“Behave yourself, Chris.” Anthony had seen Chris putting a sass in her walk.

“What? I’m only having a little fun.” She gives him a sweet innocent smile.

“Yea, right.” Anthony orders lunch for himself and for Chris.

They walk over towards a table where they could see the camper and truck. Anthony had gotten a chilly dog combo for Chris. He knew how
much Chris loved them. She also loved the foot-long dogs from Dairy Queen. He got himself a ¼lb. Thickburger.

“Let me freshen up before we leave.”

“Alright, don’t take to long.” Anthony watches as Chris heads towards the lady’s restroom.

He asked Chris once if he felt weird going to the lady’s restroom and dressing room once. Chris told him when he first did it. He was scared that someone would discover that he was a male, instead of a female. However, he slowly became comfortable going to the ladies’ public restroom and just had to remember to act natural.

After what his father did to him, he had no choice in the matter. He couldn’t pee standing up anymore and he didn’t want to wear a catheter either. So, he just pees like a female does.

Chris comes back out of the ladies’ room “okay, I’m ready.” She heads outside to the truck.

They finally make it to Sherando Lake, in George Washington and Jefferson National Park. Anthony gets the site directly across from the bathing house. He also pays for the one next to theirs, for Edward. They back the camper in and set it up. They hook the power up, so they would have power for it. Their cellphones were useless. There were canyon walls all around them.

“Well, our cells are useless.” Chris turns hers off and sets it on the bed she was sleeping on.

“It won’t hurt you to be disconnected for a while. Besides, I brought the walkie-talkie for when we go hiking and such.”

“Sounds good. When is Edward getting here?” Chris was thinking about going for a swim in the lake, they pass coming in.

“His last text said he was thirty minutes behind us.” Anthony checks his phone to make sure.

“Alright, I’ll get everything set-up for tonight.” Chris goes about getting the fire pit stacked with wood they brought with them.

She gets the steaks prepared, the salad chopped out and the potatoes covered in foil. She digs the paper plates and plastic silverware out, along with the cups.

“Are any of the beer or wine coolers cold?” Anthony looks over towards Chris.

“Yep, I packed some in the cooler last night.” Chris glances over her shoulder towards Anthony to see if he was getting one.

Anthony grabs one and opens it. He presses the can against his head for its coolness. He watches Chris as she is squatting near the fire pit.
Edward, Bruce, and Jimmy finally show-up. They back their camper into the campsite.

“It’s about time you got here.” Anthony walks over towards Edwards SUV with Chris trailing behind him.

“We had to stop for Jimmy to use the bathroom,” Edward told him not to get a large drink, but he didn’t listen.

Jimmy looks towards Chris “so what are you cooking us tonight?”

“You think I’m here to cook for you, Jimmy boy?” She raises her eyebrow.

“Don’t start you two.” Edward looks towards Jimmy along with Bruce.

“Fine with me.” Jimmy heads towards the camper and grabs the power cord to hook it up.

“I’ll get the pit going.” Chris heads over towards the fire pit and starts it.

“Got any cold beer?” Edward looks towards Anthony.

“Yep, got some real cold ones.” He heads over to the cooler and grab two beers out and grabs a wine cooler for Chris.

“Thanks.” As Chris accepts the wine cooler.

“Yea, thanks.” As Bruce and Edward accept the beers.

“So, what’s the plan tomorrow?” Chris was sitting in her chair.

“What are you thinking about?” As Edward sits down in a chair near her.

“The lake has an island in the middle of it and I am planning on swimming to it.” Chris had spotted the island out in the middle of the lake. She
was a good swimmer, plus the lake was fed by an underground spring.

“I thought you said we could go boating and fishing.” Bruce was wondering if he heard wrong.

“Yes, up at the upper lake and down at the lower lake, as long as your fishing permits are up to date. If you brought a blow-up raft, you better
have a life vest for everyone.” Chris did some research about the campsite before they left.

Jimmy finally comes over “where’s the beer?”

“In the cooler.” Chris watches as Jimmy grabs one.

Once the firepit was ready, Chris cooks the steaks to everyone’s taste. She sautéed some mushrooms and onions to go on them. She shivers
as the temperature starts to drop. It becomes pitch black outside with only light coming from other campers firepits and campers. The guys go through, three six packs.

“Well, I’m off to bed guys.” Chris gets up and staggers towards the camper. She drunk too many wine coolers.

“She really likes to flint her ass, doesn’t she?” Jimmy was watching Chris as she walked into the trailer.

“She’s drunk, Jimmy. What is it with you? Why do you dislike her so much?” Edward was looking at Jimmy with a serious look on his face.

“Because it’s a mockery that she tries to pass herself off as a real girl when she’s not.” Jimmy hated transgender people.

He had been drunk one night and some friends of his played a dirty trick on him. They had dressed him up as a girl and locked him out of his place. Several people found him outside his apartment door dress as a hooker the next morning. Jimmy never forgave his friends for what they did to him that night.

“Look, Jimmy. Chris is what she is and you better deal with your emotions towards her. She’s a good person and our friend. We grew up with her.” Edward was slurring his words as he spoke.

“Let’s take this up in the morning.” Anthony gets up and heads towards the camper.

“Don’t wake me till late.”

Edward and Bruce get up to head towards theirs.

Bruce looks towards Jimmy “coming Jim?”

“Yea, I’m coming.” Jimmy staggers behind them towards their camper.

Anthony walks in and finds Chris passed out on the sofa bed. He covers her up, as he heads towards the Queen size bed to lay down.

“Sweet dreams Chris.” Anthony heads to bed.

The Next Morning:
Chris wakes up and grabs her robe and slippers as she runs across the road and grass field towards the bathroom. She makes it, just in time as her weak bladder lets lose. If she had been a little slower. Her panties would have been soaked and she would have pee running down her legs.

She hated having a weak bladder, but because of the infections, she experiences from the dirty hunting knife her father had used to cut her testicles off with. She had to wear the poise pads all the time or the adult discreet underwear. She was lucky there was enough skin left to give her a smooth bottom.

Once she is done cleaning herself and flushing the toilet, she heads back to the camper. She could hear Anthony snoring. She grabs the holographic swimsuit she bought a few days ago and put it on. She grabs her sneakers, the beach towel, lotion, sunglasses and her huge beach bag.

Gone to the Lake for a swim. See you in four hours.
P.S. There are banana nut muffins in the cabinet.

She leaves the note where Anthony would see it. She walks up the road they took to come down to their campsite. She was munching on her muffin as she walked up the road. A few people were moving around as she passed them.

She saw the bathhouse where people could go and change into their swimsuit. They had showers inside where people could rinse off. She heads over towards the beach and set her things up. The lake looked so calm and beautiful. She couldn’t wait to go in and splash around. She slips her tennis shoes off and lay her towel out on the sand. The towel she uses to dry off was inside her beach bag.

She slowly walks out into the water. It was cold just like she thought it would be. She shivers as she moves deeper and deeper into the water it was slowly coming up to her waist. The nipples on her breasts were becoming hard as the water came up to her stomach.

“1,2,3,4!” As Chris ducks down into the water.

Her butt hits the bottom and as she is coming back up. She whips her head back, so her hair falls backward.

“Burr!! That’s cold water.” As she dives forward into the water and starts swimming around to warm up.

She floats on her back and stares up at the crystal clear blue sky. Her holographic swimsuit was changing colors as the morning sunlight
reflected off it. She liked it better then the swimsuit she wore when she was competing against others.

She spots the island out in the middle of the lake and starts swimming out to it. It would give her a good workout. She wonders what her life would have been if her father hadn’t done what he did.

The day she came out to her father, she was wearing a dress she had picked out. She had planned on going to a meeting with her counselor, up at the local LGBTQ center. She knew she was a girl when she was helping Anthony’s mom do laundry. She had picked up Anthony mother’s bra and liked how it felt in her hands.

She had stuffed the bra and a pair of panties in her pocket. While Anthony’s mother was making her lunch, she went into their bathroom and slipped the panties and bra on. The bra was a little big for her small chest and the panties were a little big, but she liked how they felt.
The next few months after that incident. She started buying her own things and wearing them around the house when her father wasn’t home.
She found a local LGBTQ center she could go to talk about how she felt.

Chris looks up and notices she wasn’t too far from the island. She had been swimming freestyle towards the island. She keeps on until her fingers touched the bottom of the lake and she stands up. She walks the rest of the way. Her arms were sore from swimming and stubbed her toe on the rocky bottom as she walks up the beach of the island and sits down.

Chris couldn’t believe she made it. She rests for a little while, before standing up and walk around the island. It wasn’t very big, but it had a few trees and a picnic table. The place was nice if you just wanted to stay and be by yourself.

Chris wishes she brought her cell phone with her, but it was back at the camper. There was a narrow area where she could walk from the island to the woods that ran beside it. She knew there was a path over there that ran down to the beach.

Once she was feeling energized, she walks back to the water and swims back towards the beach. She stops halfway to see how deep the lake is but couldn’t touch the bottom. She knew she was short, which meant the bottom had to be at least twelve to twenty feet deep. She makes it to shore and dries off. She wonders if the guys have gotten up yet.

Chris doesn’t bother with rinsing off at the lake but walks back towards the campsite. She’ll rinse off at the bathhouse across from the campsite. As she gets closer to the campers, she could hear several of the guys outside. They were cooking breakfast over the firepit.

“Hey, guys. How did you sleep, last night?” She walks over to the cooler and pulls the juice bottle out. She pours herself a cup.

“Did you have fun?” Anthony looks at the swimsuit Chris had on. It hugged her body and enhance her curves.

“Yes, I had a lot of fun. I swam to the island and explored it for a while. There wasn’t much there, but it does make for a nice place to have a picnic or to get away for a while.” Chris walks over towards the firepit and snags a piece of cooked bacon.

Jimmy looks at Chris as she stood nearby. He really couldn’t get over the fact that the person he once knew as a male, was now a female. He remembered the prank pulled on him by a few friends and how embarrassed he felt being found by the police and his neighbors.

Chris catches Jimmy looking at him “I see I have an admirer.”

Jimmy turns his head away and continues to cook breakfast. He didn’t know how he felt towards her, but he knew he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards her.

“So, are any of you guys going to go hiking today or are you going fishing?” Chris steals a few more slices of bacon.

“We talked about it and we have decided to go fishing today and hiking tomorrow.” Anthony knew the others were more interested in fishing than hiking.

“Well, if that is the case. I am going to go down and enjoy the lake some more.” Chris walks into the camper and grabs her thermos bottle. She walks back outside and fills it with some ice-cold water.

“Have fun, Chris.” Anthony watches as Chris sashay away.

“Come on, let’s finish breakfast and go catch some fish.” Jimmy was making himself a breakfast sandwich.

When Chris arrives back at the lake, there were a few people, but not many. She places her stuff where she had the first time down at the lake. She walks back out into the lake and enjoys herself. She was glad she could pee in the lake and not worry about having to run to the bathroom. Her bladder decided to cut loose while she was halfway back to the beach.

Once she was back on the beach. She heads towards the bathroom to do her business. She was lucky the only thing she had to do was number one. She finishes doing her business and clean-up. She heads back out to the lake and goes back to swimming.

By one o’clock her stomach starts growling. She reaches into her beach bag and pulls out a few fruit bars to munchie on. She still had some ice-cold water left in her thermos. She wonders how the guys were doing up at the upper lake?

Once she finishes her fruit bars and waits the require time. She heads back out into the water to enjoy herself some more. She wanted to get one more swim in, before heading back to her campsite.

Chris couldn’t believe the guys managed to catch some decent size fish. She looks at all the fish they caught up at the upper lake. Anthony had caught four fish, Jimmy caught three. Edward and Bruce caught a total of ten fish between the two of them.

“Hey Chris, would you mind cooking them for us tonight?” Anthony looks at Chris.

“I don’t mind. Any particular way you want them cooked?” Chris took cooking classes after graduating from high school and from Anthony’s mother.

“However, you want to cook them will be fine.” Anthony knew Chris was a pretty good cook.

“Let me take a shower and change my clothes.” Chris heads into the camper that her and Anthony were sharing and grabs some clothes.

She heads over towards the bathing building and takes a nice shower. If someone came in, all they would see is a woman. The only way they could see she wasn’t a woman, was looking between her legs closely. She still hasn’t had the surgery to give her an artificial vagina yet.

After her shower, she makes sure put her poise pad on. She needed to wear some sort of absorbent pad or underwear because of her weak bladder. After her father kicked her several times in her groin he managed to damage her bladder. While she was healing, she caught an infection and it weakened her bladder control further.

After getting redress, she heads back over towards the campsite. As she got closer, the guys were already drinking. She knew Bruce, Jimmy and Anthony were heavy drinkers. Anthony alone could put away a cube of beer by himself. Jimmy, she has seen him put away two six packs as for Edward, he could drink her under the table. That was why she only drunk wine coolers and fruity drinks.

Chris starts getting everything she needed that she brought with them for cooking fish. She knew the guys were going to do some fishing, so she wanted to be prepared. She wraps the fish in foil and put the vegetables in a pot to boil.

Anthony had already gotten the firepit going for her. Chris waits for the water to start bubbling, before putting the fish on to cook. As she is bending over to put the wrapped fish in the coals to bake.

“God Chris, watch your you put your big ass. I don’t want to look at your she-male ass.” As he swallows a gulp of his beer.

“Jimmy, watch you say to Chris. She is our friend.” Bruce had gotten upset with Jimmy for what he said to Chris.

“Oh, come on. It’s not like she’s a real woman. She’s just a she-male pretending to be a woman.” Jimmy takes another gulp of his beer.

Chris just turns around and slaps Jimmy on the side of his face. She was tired of his comments.

“What is your problem with me?” Her face was red.

Jimmy stands up out of his chair and gets close to her “people like you pretending to be a woman when you’re not. That’s my problem with you. All you fucking she-males are alike. You can’t be happy being born in the gender you were born in.”

Bruce and Anthony stand up to grab either person if they come to swings. Anthony knew Chris would lose to Jimmy if they got into a fistfight.

“Why don’t you fix your own damn dinner than.” Chris turns and walks off. She didn’t want to have to deal with this. Bruce and Edward should have left Jimmy at home.

Edward was going to run after her.

“Let her be. She’s pissed right now, and she’ll come back when she has calm down some.” Anthony knew Chris always took a walk when she was pissed.

Chris heads towards one of the short hiking paths that would take her around the different campsites. She looked it up when she was planning out the routes if they went hiking. She wishes that Bruce never brought Jimmy with him. Why Jimmy came along, she’ll never know. She follows the path and by the time it gets dark out. She regrets not taking a flashlight with her. She manages to make it back to the camper she was sharing with Anthony. The guys had moved over to Bruce’s campsite. She heads into the camper and notices Anthony had fixed her a plate and left it on the table.

She tosses it in the trash and changes clothes. Chris didn’t feel like eating anything when she was upset. She grabs a bottled water out of the refrigerator in the camper and drinks it. Afterward, she lays down on the sofa bed and falls asleep while reading a novel on her kindle.

Anthony comes stumbling in a few hours later and finds Chris sound asleep on the sofa bed. He also notices she threw the plate he made for her in the trash as well. He couldn’t blame her for being pissed. Jimmy should know how to keep his mouth shut and his opinions to himself.

He stumbles towards his bed and passes out still dressed on the bed. He starts snoring loudly and wakes Chris up.

Chris gets up and shakes Anthony “hey, stop snoring so loudly.”

Anthony just grabs Chris and pull her down to the bed. He holds her tightly to his fully clothed body. Chris tries to free herself, but Anthony just holds her tightly. She could smell he was drunk. She stops fighting him and just lay there, till he loosens his grip.

After a few hours, Anthony loosens his grip on her. She manages to free herself and move back to her own bed. She didn’t want Anthony to get the wrong message about their friendship. She didn’t mind sleeping with him, but she knew he wanted a genetic woman that he could start a family with.

She couldn’t sleep, so she walks out of the camper and just sit in her lawn chair. The cold mountain air felt nice against her warm body. She looks up into the night sky and couldn’t believe how many stars she could see. It was like looking at a river of stars.

Chris looks across towards the other camper Bruce, Jimmy and Edward were sleeping. She could hear all three of them snoring loudly like Anthony. It was a good thing that the other campsite next to them was empty.

She sits there and enjoys the night air. She thinks about her father and how he was able to get a reduced sentence. The lawyer he managed to hire, used a religious defense to say she was flaunting her sexuality and belittling him about his religious beliefs. Which she didn’t. All she ever said, was that anyone who believes in the crap the church was saying about the LGBTQ community. That they need to have their heads
examined. She had no problem with religion, but she did have a problem with people using religion to justify their personal prejudice.

People like Jimmy who had a bad experience with his former friends playing that stunt on him. She hopes that what happened last night, was what her vacation is going to be like. She heads inside the camper and grabs a pad. She felt as her bladder gave way and she started peeing in her underwear. She couldn’t help it.

She walks over towards the bathroom to clean herself and change her pad. She wishes the doctor would had be able to fix her problem, but they weren’t able too. The kicks her father gave her almost raptured her bladder. The infection she got while still in the hospital affected her recovery and weakened her bladder.

Chris just stays outside for a while and when she feels herself drifting off to sleep. She heads back inside and crawls under her blanket to warm up. She holds her pillow and just tries to sleep.

Day 3:
Chris wakes up and heads outside and over towards the portable camping stove. Anthony was still inside sound asleep. She starts fixing some breakfast for herself and Anthony. If the other guys wanted breakfast, they could fix their own.

Chris uses the oven portion of the camp burner to keep the food warm. She makes a pot of coffee as well. Once the food is done, she heads inside to wake Anthony.

“Hey, wake-up.” Chris shakes Anthony’s sleeping form several times.

When he doesn’t respond, she tries again. He doesn’t wake-up. She walks over towards the refrigerator and grabs a cold bottle of water and place it against his neck.

Anthony jumps when he feels something cold placed against him. He sits up in bed and looks directly towards Chris.

“Why did you do that?” Anthony was having a nice dream.

“Because you told me that you wanted to get an early start this morning. Breakfast is ready if you're hungry.” Chris heads back outside to enjoy her breakfast.

Anthony comes walking out and heads towards the restrooms. He couldn’t walk straight, and he forgot to put his shoes on. He stubs his toes on his way to the bathroom.

Chris just watches in amusement as Anthony stubs his toes as he walks towards the bathhouse. He should have put on his slippers by his bed. She continues to eat her breakfast and wait for him to come back.

Chris watches as the guys from the other camper come out and run towards the bathhouse. She knows they could use the toilet inside the camper, but they don’t. She drinks her coffee as the guys come back over towards her and Anthony’s campsite.

Edward volunteers to make breakfast for everyone who hasn’t eaten. He looks towards Chris to see if she was still pissed about last night. He knew she could hold a grudge if she wanted too.

Jimmy stays away from Chris. The guys chewed his ass out after she left last night. Edward told him if he says one more thing about Chris being a woman. He could walk home.

While the guys eat breakfast. Chris puts together a backpack filled with lunch, water, water purification kit and everything they would need while out on their hike. By the time she was dressed and ready to go, the guys were just finishing breakfast.

“Come on guys, we need to start moving.” Chris looks at them.

“We’ll be ready in a little while Chris.” Bruce cleans the dishes he used, while Anthony and Edward cleaned the area up.

Jimmy walked across the road and filled up the water containers. Jimmy just glances at Chris and notices she was dress in shorts, hiking boots, and a loose light t-shirt. She had her long hair in a ponytail.

By 9:00 am they managed to get going on the hike they planned for the day. The trail they were going to take, takes them by the upper lake and way up to the top of the ridge of the valley they were camped down in. Since Anthony was the experienced hiker, he leads the group on the trail.

Chris was walking behind Edward and Bruce was behind her. Edward was following behind Anthony as they hiked. They make small talk as they enjoyed the scenery. As they went higher and higher up the ridge. They stopped at an area where they could look down towards the campsite and loved the scenery.

Chris takes her camera out and snaps a few pictures. She loved the view and was enjoying it.

“I wonder what it would be like to fly over this area?” Chris would love to see what the area looked like from the air.

Jimmy looks towards Chris as she walked between Bruce and Edward. He still thinks she should have stayed a male, even if she looked pretty like he was. He still dislikes her and wonders how he could get revenge for her slapping him.

A little after two in the afternoon, they stop and have lunch. Chris had brought some MRE style meals that they could use water to heat the meal up. She also brought some snacks for them as well.

“Hey Chris, where did you get these meals from?” Edward was looking at the beef stew one he had been given.

“Turner’s Outdoors store. He was having a sale and I figure these would be good meals to have on our hiking trip.” Chris at first thought about making sandwiches, but they would be soggy by the time they stopped to eat them.

“Turner’s? I’m going to have to visit their store.” Edward loved stores that cater to the outdoors man.

“Hey guys, I have to pee. Can you give me a few seconds?” Chris felt some urine leaking out into her pad.

“Sure, I think all of us could use this time to do a pit stop.” Anthony knew he had to pee.

Chris finds an area where she could pee and change her pad. The only thing she missed being a guy about, was being able to pee standing up. Squatting out in the woods wasn’t her cup of tea.

She uses a wet towel to clean herself and her hands. She rejoins the guys. She knew where they were while she was doing her business.
It takes them a few more hours to get back to camp. Jimmy was limping from blisters he had on his feet, from his new boots. Chris takes her boots off and rubs her tiny feet. Her feet were smaller than the other guys.

She slips her feet into her soft slippers and starts on dinner.

Chris wakes to the sound of thunder and rain hitting the top of their camper. She looks outside, and it was pouring. She couldn’t check the weather, because they weren’t getting any signals being down inside a valley.

Chris grabs her raincoat and boots and head over towards the bathroom to take a shower. Her feet and legs were sore from their hike yesterday. As she stood under the hot water from the showerhead, she could feel her body relaxing.

She hopes it stops raining sometime today. Once she is done with her shower and slipping on a nice sundress. She heads back towards the camper she was sharing with Anthony.

When she gets back, Anthony was still asleep. Chris grabs some cereal and pours some into a bowl, along with some milk. She selects her favorite playlist and listens to some music, while she ate. She kept the volume low, so not to wake Anthony.

After breakfast, she pulls her Kindle out and starts reading a book she had already downloaded. Chris still had the music playing at a low volume not to disturb Anthony. She loses herself in the novel she was reading.

A couple hours later, Anthony finally wakes up and is sore. He could hear the rain hitting against the roof of the camper.

“Would you like some coffee?” Chris heard Anthony moving around in the back of the trailer.

“Yes, please.” Anthony sits on the side of the bed, trying to move.

His calf muscles were sore from yesterday. He could smell the coffee Chris was brewing for him. He glances towards her as she moves around in the small kitchenette.

“Hey, we have some donuts if you want some for breakfast.” Chris holds up a box of an assortment of donuts.

“Thanks.” Accepts his coffee and the box of donuts.

As he is about to open them “aren’t you going to have some?”

“Nope, I had a bowl of cereal two hours ago.” Chris just smiles at him and clean the kitchenette up.

“How long has it been raining out?” As Anthony bites into a chocolate covered donut.

“Since I got up and that was two hours ago. It’s slacked off some, but it puts a dampener on any outside activities today.” Chris walks over towards the door and looks outside. It was still raining outside, but it was lighter.

“Where is my raincoat?” Anthony looks around for it.

“In the closet.” Chris points toward the closet.

Anthony finds his raincoat and slips his shoes on. He grabs what clothes he was going to wear and take them to the bathhouse.

“Have fun.” Chris just watches from the doorway of the camper.

Chris knows Anthony is going to be a while, so she cleans the camper up. She hopes she can go swimming for awhile today. She pulls what they are going to need for dinner tonight and move it to another cooler to defrost.

Once Chris is done arranging things for dinner. She sits back down and watches a movie on her tablet that she downloaded. She does glance out the window occasionally, to see what was going on over at the other camper.

A smile appears on her face as she spots Jimmy and Bruce sprinting towards the bathhouse in the rain. She would figure that they would have brought raincoats with them or even an umbrella. She still wonders why Jimmy came along. He should have known she was coming along as well.

Twenty minutes later, Anthony comes walking back into the camper feeling better and dressed. He enjoyed the hot water from the shower and the cold mountain well water as well.

“So, what are we going to do today?” Chris wonders if Anthony had a plan.

“Well, if it continues to rain. We could visit the antique and classic car museum in Staunton, Va.” Anthony had wanted to visit it while they were on vacation.

“That sounds like a nice plan. Are Bruce and his crew coming with us?” Chris wouldn’t mind just it being her and Anthony.

“I was going to ask if any of them wanted to come along. We could take my truck or their SUV.” Anthony figures it might be fun for everyone.

Anthony looks at Chris and could tell she was still upset about Jimmy’s behavior towards her. Yesterday, while they were hiking, Jimmy made snide comments about her. However, she just ignored him and kept up with Edward.

“Fine! Let me know what they want to do.” Chris sits back down on the sofa and starts reading her book.

Anthony grabs his raincoat and walks across to the camper where Edward, Jimmy, and Bruce were to talk with them. Twenty minutes later
Anthony comes walking back in the one he and Chris were sharing.

“Jimmy didn’t want to go into Staunton with us. So, grab your raincoat and purse.” Anthony heads towards the room he was sleeping and grabs his truck keys and wallet.

Chris puts away her tablet and checks her purse to make sure she had two extra pads with her. She wishes a doctor, or someone would come up with something to solve her little problem. She grabs her raincoat and follows Anthony out of the camper.

She takes the passenger seat, while Bruce and Edward ride in the back seats. The camper was already detached from the truck, as they leave their campsite and head towards downtown Staunton. The ride into town was peaceful. Chris watches as they pass several small farms and old home.

“I wonder what it was like way back when you didn’t have all these modern conveniences?” Chris loved the country.

“You had to work just as hard and get up early to tend to your farm. I know they still do that but think about the machinery back then. It was animal powered, depending on when you are talking about.” Edward loved the country as well.

He was thinking about buying some land and put some horses on it. He was an outdoors type of persons. He liked kayaking, hiking, rock
climbing and white-water rafting, and canoeing.

They arrive at the museum and park. The rain was still coming down, but it was more like a mist that still put a damper on things. The museum building was an old Ford Dealership that was three stories tall.

They were greeted when they enter by an older man. He was dress business casual.

“Greetings, welcome to Elder Antique and Classic Automobiles. We have one of the biggest collections of antique and classic cars around.
Some of our cars are for sale if you find one that you would like to own. Please let a staff member know.” Mr. Watts would love to sell some of their stock.

“I thought this was a museum?” Chris looks towards Anthony.

“It is, but I heard from Ford that this place also sells cars as well.” Anthony leads the way as they start looking at the cars.

Chris just follows Anthony and the guys as they examine and look at each of the cars. Sure, there were some nice cars. One of them spark her interest it was a 1974 Volkswagen bus converted to a camper VW rebuilt motor 4 speed on the floor. She wonders how much it was going for. She notices the mileage on it was only 97,000 miles.

Chris spots a staff member and walks over to them. The color wasn’t too bad on the bus. It looked straight and well care for.

“Excuse me, how much is the VW bus?” Chris still had money from the lawsuit against her father and brothers.

Derek was watching a group of people walking around looking at the cars on display. When he notices a young lady with light brown hair walking towards him.

“What can I do for you, ma’am?” Derek looks her over.

She had moderate breast development and lightly tanned skin. Her eyes were hazel and were shorter than her companions.

“We were told when we enter that some of the cars on display are for sale. How much is the VW bus over there?” Chris points towards the white and cream color VW bus.

“That one is going for $30,000. It’s been fully restored with a 12-volt system and a bigger engine has been installed along with aftermarket A/C.” Derek hasn’t had many people inquire about that bus.

“You can’t come down any on it?” Chris had the money to buy it, but she wanted to pay a little less. Considering she was going to have it shipped to where she lives with Anthony.

“How much lower are you thinking?” Derek wanted to see how serious this woman was.

“Say, around $22,000?” Chris really liked the bus.

“I can come down to $28,000 if that helps you?” Derek $22,000was to low for that bus.

“It’s still too much, considering I’m going to have to ship it home. How about….” As Chris bat her eyes and show a little skin “$24,000?”

Derek notices she was flirting with him “I’ll come down to 25,000 and that’s as low as I can come.”

“Mmm, okay. I can pay $25,000. Do you know a good transport person that can transport it to my home?” Chris knew she wanted to ship it.

“Yes, I do. Let’s go and finalize the deal.” Derek leads Chris to a computer and seals the deal.

Afterward, the guys teased Chris about buying the bus. They had been permitted to look inside. It had been to be a camper, instead of a
normal bus.

“I can’t believe you bought a VW bus. We come up here for vacation and you go out and buy a vehicle.” Anthony couldn’t believe his friend.

“It was cute, and it will allow us to go on more camping trips.” Chris liked that it had been converted to a camper.

They leave the museum and head towards an Outdoors and Hunting store. Edward buys a few items he spotted that he liked. He also finds out where the nearest white-water rafting place is.

The rain lightens up some, so it is more of a mist, but it is still too damp to do anything. They have lunch at a little mom and pop diner. They had deer meat, bear, veal and normal steaks on the menu. The diner had a license to sell wild game meat.

Chris orders up a homemade beef stew, while Edward and Bruce order the bear and venison meat. Anthony has a steak for lunch. Chris was going to fix chill out on the firepit when they get back to camp. She had all the ingredients cut up and ready to be dumped into the chill.

After lunch, they visit the Hershey plant in Stuarts Draft, VA. It wasn’t too far from their campsite. Chris bought a lot of chocolate and knick-knacks. The guys bought some as well, but not as much as Chris.

They head back to camp. The lights were on in the camper Edward, Bruce and Jimmy shared. Chris took her purchases into the camper she was sharing with Anthony and went outside to see if she could get a fire going. She had to use a starter log to get the wet wood they had
collected to light. Once the fire was going, she puts the pot on the grate and starts putting the ingredients for the chill in the pot. Chris figures the heat from the firepit will cook the chill pretty good.

Jimmy watches Chris as he went about wearing a dress. He hates how Chris just flaunts how he is. Why he ever agreed to come on this camping trip, he will never know.

Bruce and Edward spot Jimmy watching Chris as she went about fixing dinner. They had contributed other items towards the meal. The two of them knew Chris was a pretty good cook and loved her meals.

“Jimmy don’t start on Chris again unless you want to end up going home. We’re getting tired of it.” Edward liked Chris and understood why
Chris chose to be a girl, instead of a guy after what her father did to her.

“I promise to behave myself. I still don’t understand why you guys are protecting him.” Jimmy looks at his cousin.

“Because we have known Chris longer than you. We know what hardship she has gone through. Now behave yourself, before I take you to the
nearest Greyhound station.” Edward grabs the case of beer he brought when they went out earlier.

All three men head over towards Anthony’s and Chris campsite for dinner.

“Come on slowpokes.” Chris was a quarter of the way up the switchback of Crabtree Falls.

They had left early after breakfast. They took Edwards SUV, instead of taking two cars. Jimmy had come along with them on this trip. He tried to keep up with her, but he couldn’t. She was a lot fitter then he was. Plus, she was enjoying herself as she went higher up the path.

Edward and Anthony jogged up to stand with Chris. They were waiting for Jimmy and Bruce to catch up with them. Bruce finally appears with
Jimmy a few minutes behind him. He looked to be a little exhausted.

“We can take a few minutes if you guys want too. We’re not that far from the top.” Chris couldn’t wait to get to the top of the waterfall.

“We can wait for a while.” Edward figures he could give Jimmy some time to rest.

Chris hands a bottled water to each person and some gorp mix. She especially likes the dry apples and peaches. The mix she made for herself, had pineapples, apples, bananas, and peaches.

Chris walks over to the lookout and looks at the waterfall as it cascades down beside them. She pulls her cell phone out and snaps a few photos of the waterfall. She would love to take some of the water back with her.

After fifteen minutes they start their way up to the top of the waterfall. Chris arrives first and then the others. She looks at the waterfall and smiles. she loved the view from the top of the waterfall.

They look around and enjoy the instant meals Chris packed along with some more water. She looks at everyone to see how they were enjoying their meal. She noticed Jimmy wasn’t enjoying his. Like the others did.

“What’s wrong Jimmy? Don’t you like your lunch?” Chris had a beef stew one.

Jimmy looks over towards Chris “it wasn’t what I was expecting.”

“Next time we go hiking, I could make sandwiches instead.” Chris had everything she needed back at the camper.

After an hour of enjoying the view from the top of the waterfall. They head back towards the SUV. Chris was hanging back, so she could get pictures of the waterfall. Jimmy had found an old slim tree branch he was using as a walking stick.

The other guys were ahead of him and Chris. Chris was ahead of him. An evil idea pops in his head.

“Come on slowpokes. We’re heading back to the campsite.” Edward calls back to Chris and Jimmy.

Chris increases her pace and the next thing she knows, she trips on something and goes tumbling down the path. She tries to brace herself but failed as she slides down the switch back. She tries to get up, but her ankle and wrist were hurting her.

A sly smile appears on Jimmy’s face as he watches Chris tumbles down the switchback. He stays where he is, just watching. He doesn’t bother to go and help Chris as she lays on the ground.

Bruce turned back to see if Chris and Jimmy were coming. He notices Chris laying face first on the ground.

“Guys, Chris needs help.” Bruce runs towards her.

Edward and Anthony turn around and rushes towards Chris as she laid on the ground. Anthony kneels next to her like Bruce was doing.

“Chris are you okay?” Bruce held her hand.

Anthony gently picks her up off the ground and brush the dirt off her. He notices the cuts and scrapes on her body. She goes to take a step and winces in pain.

“Ow!” Chris uses Anthony for support.

“What is it?” Bruce looks at Chris with concern on his face.

“I think I sprained my ankle and wrist.” Chris wanted to get back to the car right away and put an ice pack on her ankle and wrist.

“How did you fall?” As Anthony picks her up in his arms and carries her.

“I think I tripped on a root or stone.” Chris didn’t see what she tripped on.

Jimmy comes down finally “are you alright, Chris?”

He had a straight face as he approached Chris and everyone. He carefully approaches the group.

“I’m fine. It’s my ego that took a bruising,” Chris felt foolish being carried in Anthony’s arms like a child.

When they get back to the SUV. Edward takes the emergency kit Chris keeps in the backpack she brought. He takes the ice pack out and put it on her wrist and ankle.

Chris pops a few aspirins in her mouth to help with the pain. She gets comfortable as she sits in the passenger seat. It doesn’t take them long to get back to camp.

Anthony carries Chris inside and lays her on the sofa she has been sleeping on. Edward comes in and checks her ankle. He has sprained his a few times.

“Fill a ziplock bag with ice and put it on her ankle, Anthony.” Edward was careful as he felt around her ankle.

“So, is anything broken?” Chris looks towards Edward for an answer.

“No, I think you just sprained it.” Edward takes out an ace bandage and wraps Chris’s wrist.

“I can’t believe I tripped on a root.” Chris felt foolish and embarrassed.

“It happens to the best of us, Chris. Why don’t you take it easy and I’ll make dinner for everyone today?” Edward places the ice pack on her
ankle.

“Thanks, Edward.” Chris smiles at him.

“Any time.” Chris watches as he leaves the camper.

Anthony looks at her “are you going to be okay?”

“Yea, I’ll be fine.” Chris shivers from the ice pack.

She pulls her fire kindle out and starts reading a book she bought.

Chris floats around on her inner tube at the lake. Her ankle was still wrapped up. It wouldn’t be healed for another a few weeks. The guys had helped her down to the lake and were enjoying the lake themselves.

They were out on the lake kayaking, while she floated around on her inner tube. Every once in a while, she would take a dip and swim around. Swimming didn’t bother her ankle that much.

She watches as the clouds drift overhead across the big blue sky. She spotted the guys out on the lake on the kayaks. They were seeing who was better on them.

Anthony, Edward, Bruce were really going all out. The three of them loved the outdoors and competing against each other. Jimmy, on the other hand, fell off his kayak several times. They had rented the ones you sat on top of, instead of inside of.

Chris smiles as she watches Jimmy fall into the lake for the fourth time this morning. He would be better off getting back to shore or joining her over in the swim only area. Chris smirks when Jimmy falls off his kayak again.

She closes her eyes and enjoys the peacefulness. Chris just floats around for a while. The next thing she knows, she is getting wet from a wave hitting her. She opens her eyes and looks around for who splashed her.

She spots Anthony floating near her “why did you do that?”

“Because you looked so relax. We’re heading back to camp to start lunch. Do you want to come or stay here for a while?”

“I’ll come back with you guys. So, who won between the three of you?” Chris had closed her eyes and didn’t see who won.

“I won, but just barely. Edward was second place and Bruce took third place.” Anthony knew he won by pure dumb luck.

The kayak he was using was a little longer than the others. The extra length gave him the advantage.

“So, what did you win?” Chris knows those guys always put up a prize for the winner.

“The loser has to buy the beer for tonight. Bruce is going to take Jimmy to the store and buy the beer.” Anthony was glad he wasn’t. He was
ready for a nice cold one.

“Cool, he can pick up some wine coolers for me. Wasn’t there an ABC store nearby as well?” Chris thought she remembered an ABC store
near the Food Loin they were going too.

“There sure is. I’ll have the guys pick up some Jack Daniel’s fireball and whiskey.” Anthony paddles towards the shore.

He helps Chris down to his truck and lets her sit in the passenger seat. While he and the others return the kayaks to the rental office. Chris
reaches into her beach bag and takes out the thermos cup she brought with her and take a sip.

Once Anthony gets back into the truck. They head back to camp. Chris changes out of her swimsuit, after taking a shower. She slips on a pair of shorts and a burgundy color tank top.

“I’ll make us some dinner for tonight.” Chris starts working on making homemade beef stew.

Edward works on making them lunch. He takes some steaks and huge potatoes he picked up on the way to the campsite. He cleans the potatoes and cut slits in the middle and add butter. He wraps them in foil and tosses them into the coals into the firepit.

Edward watches Chris as she moves from the picnic table where she had been cutting the vegetables for the stew. Since they have been camping, Chris has been doing most of the cooking for everyone and wanted to repay her for her efforts.

“Hey, Chris, who taught you how to cook?” Edward has known Chris since they were little.

“Anthony’s mom did. She felt I should know how to cook when they took me in.” Chris loved Anthony’s mother. She wished all the time that she had been born to Anthony’s family, instead of the abusive father she had.

“Yea, she kept getting underfoot in the kitchen. So, my mother put her to work, learning how to cook.” Anthony remembers his mother teaching Chris how to cook.

The first time she made cookies, she burned them. Even he could have done better baking cookies. She was lucky that his mother was a patient person. His mother even took to teaching Chris how to act more like a girl.

Thirty minutes later, Bruce and Jimmy come back from the store. They had the beer and liquor from the ABC store.

“Hey guys, I scored us some real moonshine,” Bruce asked an old man at the ABC store where he could get real moonshine.

The guy put him in touch with a person he knew. They met at a gas station and made the exchange. Bruce couldn’t wait to try it.

“Cool, let’s take a sip.” Edward was curious about how it tasted. He had tried some from a friend of his before.

“We also bought more ice for the coolers.” Jimmy dumps some beers and Chris’s wine coolers in their ice chest.

He gives Anthony the Jack Daniel’s he wanted. He pockets some mushrooms he bought to use on Chris. He was going to slip them into her stew and watch how she reacted to them.

They sit around eating their lunch and drinking beer or in Chris’s case, wine coolers. Occasionally, Chris gets up and check on the stew she was cooking in the pit. She makes sure it doesn’t burn and that it was kept at the right temperature.

The guys share the moonshine with Chris. She chokes on it as it burns her throat.

“Damn! That is some strong moonshine.” Chris was trying to recover from the sip of moonshine.

Chris’s bladder was urging her to go to the bathroom from all the wine coolers and fireballs shots she had. Edward helps her across the road to the lady’s bathroom. Sure, she could use the one in the trailer, but they agreed not to unless it was emergency.

“Hey, why don’t I serve the stew up?” Jimmy grabs a couple of bowls and starts serving the food.

He slips a few good pieces of mushrooms he managed to buy into a bowl meant for Chris. He made sure no one saw him put them in her stew.
He spots Chris and Edward coming back from the restrooms.

“I hope you are hungry, guys. The food is ready.” Jimmy hands Chris her bowl and another bowl to Edward.

Chris accepts it and sits down next to Anthony in her lawn chair. She enjoys the stew she worked hard to make for the guys. She takes a sip of her wine cooler afterward. She doesn’t feel the effects of the mushrooms in her stew right away.

Chris starts to get up to get another scoop of stew but falls back into her lounge chair. She was feeling a little strange.

“Hey Chris, what do you need?” Jimmy puts his bowl down.

“I was going to get some more stew.” Chris’s head felt light headed.

“Here, let me get it for you.” Jimmy takes her bowl and fills it with some more stew and slip some mushrooms into it.

“Thanks, Jimmy.” Chris was feeling light-headed and strange.

“Any time.” He hands the bowl back to her.

By the time Chris finishes the stew. She is as high as a kite. She was experiencing psychedelic colors and was looking kind of goofy.

Anthony looks over towards Chris “are you alright?”

“I’m fineeee….” Her words came out kind of slurry.

She tosses her head back to look up at the night sky “so pretty.” As she tries to grab some butterflies she was seeing.

“I think someone slipped her a mickey.” Edward was grinning at her goofy movements and reactions.

Chris tries to stand up and falls flat on her face. Anthony moves over to her and notices her shorts were wet.

“Edward, help me get her to the men’s restroom, so I can clean her.” Anthony puts his food down and helps Chris up off the ground.

Anthony notices she was so out of it. He has never seen her so messed up before. He and Edwards carry Chris over to the restroom.

Edward notices that Chris peed her shorts. She was acting so goofy while they carried her.

“Has she ever acted like this before?” Edward looks towards Anthony as they carried her into the showers.

“Never, she must have eaten something or drunk too much.” Anthony knew she made the stew and had seen everything she put in it.

Anthony knew, that she had added mushrooms, but they were the type you bought in the store. He starts undressing her.

“Can you hold her, while I get undress?” Anthony knew someone had to hold her while she was in the shower.

“No problem. What could had done this to her?” Edward had a firm, but gentle grip on Chris.

“Whhat aare you doing, Eddie?” Chris words came out slurred.

She could barely stand and was leaning against Edward. She had a goofy smile and look on her face.

“Trying to keep you from falling down.” Edward looked down towards her groin section and could barely see anything.

She had a decent set of breasts on her. However, she wasn’t his type. She looked too much like a person in their early teens and was too short.

“Here, let me hold her now.” Anthony holds his arms out for Chris.

“Here you go. While you're washing her, I’ll go and get her some clean clothes from the camper.” Edward hands Chris over to Anthony.

Once she is in his arms. Edward leaves the showers and stumbles back to the camper to grab Chris some clean clothes. He grabs a poise pad
as well since he knew about her bladder problem.

Anthony holds Chris under the shower to wash her. He would like to know how she became this messed up. He knows she knows her limits on drinking.

Chris clings to Anthony “IIii, ddiiddnn’t know you ccaarreed soo much.”

Chris looks at Anthony as they showed together. She was so messed up and felt nauseous. She passes out in his arms.

Anthony holds Chris’s passed out body in his arms. He turns the water off and let her drip dry some.

“Here, I brought you some towels.” Edward hands the towels to Anthony.

“Thanks.” Anthony dries his body and then Chris’s body.

Afterward, Edward helps Anthony slip Chris’s night clothes on her. Edward makes sure the pad was on correctly before he slipped her panties up her legs.

“I think we better not tell her I helped you undress and dress her.” Edward gathers Chris’s clothes, after rinsing out her pee soak shorts and underwear.

“Yea, that might be a good idea.” Anthony carries Chris’s sleeping unconscious form back to the camper.

Edward holds the door open for them. He watches as Anthony lays her down and tuck her into bed.

“I need a drink.” Edwards heads back outside to grab a beer.

Anthony takes one more look at Chris and follows Edward back out. He looks around for Chris’s bowl but doesn’t find it.

“What are you looking for, Anthony?” Bruce was curious.

“I’m looking for Chris’s bowl.” Anthony looks at Bruce.

“Jimmy and I thought you guys were done, so we started cleaning up everything. Is there a problem?” Bruce wonders why Anthony wanted Chris’s bowl.

“I wanted to see what was in her stew. I think there might have been some bad mushrooms in it.” Anthony wasn’t sure.

“If there was, why wasn’t any of us affected?”

“That is a good question.” Anthony grabs a beer and takes a sip from it.

Chris wakes-up laying next to Anthony. She could feel his hard-on pressed between her butt cheeks. She knew she wasn’t naked under the blanket, because she felt Anthony’s hard-on pressing against the pair panties she was wearing. He had his arms wrapped around her waist.

She just lay there next to him wondering how she ended up in bed with him. Her head was still a little fuzzy from last night. She just wiggles against him.

“Stop it or your going to regret it.” Anthony tightens his arm on her waist.

“Promises promises” as she wiggles her butt some more.

Anthony moves his hand to her panties and slides them down. He slides his penis inside her ass and starts giving her, what she wanted. His hand slides up under her nightshirt and start massaging and playing with her breasts.

Chris didn’t resist when Anthony entered her. She closes her eyes and enjoys as Anthony pumps in and out of her. She moans when he starts playing with her breasts.

The next hour or so the two of them enjoys each other’s bodies. Chris lays naked next to Anthony afterwards pleased as a cat. She looked into his brown eyes and loved what she saw. She knew he has always cared for her.

She kisses him and feels as he holds her close to his chest and returns the kiss. She could feel his tongue explore every inch of her mouth. She was starting to get a little light headed from kissing him.

Anthony stops kissing Chris as he held her. He looks into her hazel eyes and could see how much she was into him. He tried to keep the friendship he had with Chris as brother and sister, but he knew they just crossed a line, he shouldn’t have crossed. He just holds her against his chest.

Chris just lays on his chest with her breasts pressing against his muscular chest. She listens to his heart as it beats.

“What am I going to do with you?” As Anthony kisses her again.

“Make love to me again.” As she wiggles against his groin again.

He makes love to Chris a second time, before he needed to use the bathroom. They use the toilet inside the camper, instead of heading to the other one. They do head over towards the bathhouse and take a shower together in the family section. Which they end up having sex again, since no one was inside the bathhouse.

By the time they were heading back towards their camper, Chris was walking kind of funny. She notices the other guys were up and about.

“How are you feeling, Chris?” Edward was concerned about Chris.

“Confused. What happened to me last night?” Chris starts gathering things to make breakfast.

“We don’t know. You didn’t start acting funny, till you ate the stew you made. The weird thing about it, no one else was affected by the mushrooms.” Edward was concerned about Chris.

He has never seen her naked before and after what he saw last night. He wonders if she had a vagina like most transgenders who had SRS surgery. He saw she had a woman’s bottom, instead of a penis.

“Do you recall adding anything special to your stew?” He was watching her.

“Nope, I didn’t add anything to it.” Chris wonders how some psychedelic mushrooms got into her stew.

Chris goes about fixing breakfast for everyone. She notices occasionally, Edward would give her a weird look. She walks over towards him
“okay, spill. You have been giving me a strange look this morning.”

Edward sighs “look, last night I helped Anthony with you, because you peed yourself. I saw what your groin area looked like and was wondering if you have had the operation yet?”

“No, I haven’t had the operation yet. The only reason my groin area looks like a woman’s is my father cut my testicles and penis off. He did such a butchering job of it, that it couldn’t be reattached. So, they just gave me a woman’s bottom when they did the surgery.” Chris has never told anyone about the night her father attacked her.

“So, does your driver license say female or male?” Edward was curious.

“Mine says female, because I am going to have the surgery required to have a vagina. My birth certificate still says male. So, until I have the operation to have a vagina. I’m still classified as a male.” Chris hated it, because her driver license says female.

“Well, if anything. There’s no way you could be mistaken for being a boy. Your body just doesn’t look right to be a boy’s body. Your hips and ass are too big for a boy.” Edward loved the curves she had.

“Thanks.” Chris didn’t mind his compliment.

Chris finishes fixing breakfast for everyone. She was moving around slowly and carefully because of her sprained ankle. She looks at the rest of the guys and wonders what they were going to do today.

As she sits down in her lawn chair “so, what’s the plan today?”

“Well I’m going down to the beach and enjoy it.” Edward figures Chris was going to go as well.

Jimmy and Bruce look at each other and then towards Anthony “we could do some boating and fishing.”

“Sounds good.” Anthony looks over towards Chris “are you going to be alright?

“I’ll be fine. I’m going down to the beach as well.” Chris gets up and heads inside the trailer to change clothes.

Anthony follows behind her. He just watches as she changes her clothes.

“You don’t have to sleep on the couch anymore.” As he walks by her and transfers her nightshirt to the bed.

“I know.” As a smile appears on her face.

She grabs her beach bag and walks outside to join Edward. He had already changed and had a small cooler filled with some snacks and drinks.

“You ready, Chris?” Edward tosses the items into the back of Anthony’s truck since Bruce, Jimmy, and Anthony were going to take his truck down to the lake.

“Yep.” Chris climbs into the driver seat and drives them down to the lake.

Chris and the guys enjoyed themselves down at the lake. They had a chicken fight with Chris on Anthony’s shoulder and James was on the top of Bruce’s shoulder as they battled. A few times Jimmy managed to get in some cheap shots, that he claimed were accidents.

When they stop for lunch, they head back to the campsites. Chris throws some steaks on the grill for the guys and herself. She also cuts up some onions and mushrooms and sautéed them.

“Bruce, how do you and Jimmy like your steaks?” Chris was looking over towards them.

“Medium well.” Bruce looked around for Jimmy, but he didn’t see him anywhere.

Chris was looking for Jimmy as well but didn’t see him. She sets his steak aside and fixes Edwards, hers and Anthony’s steak. Edward liked his slightly cooked and Anthony liked his medium well done. She liked hers completely well done.

The baked potatoes she had in the coals were almost ready. She grabs a grab a few paper plates and starts serving up the meals. She notices that Jimmy had come back from where he had wondered off too. She hands his plate to Bruce, so he could hand it to Jimmy.

“Who wants a beer?” Anthony was grabbing a beer from the cooler.

“I’ll take a wine cooler.” Chris didn’t like beer that much.

She liked wine coolers and hard liquor better. Chris hopes they still had a few in the cooler.

“I’ll take a beer.” Edward walks over to Anthony and accepts one.

“Here, give this to Chris, please.” Anthony hands a cold wine cooler to Edward for Chris.

“I will.” As he walks over to Chris.

“Here you go, Chris.” As he hands her the wine cooler.

“Thanks.” Chris accepts the bottle and opens it.

Chris passes out everyone’s lunch. She sits down in her lounge chair to enjoy her lunch and wine cooler. She watches her plate and when she wants some more mushrooms, she dishes them up herself.

After lunch, they go for a short walk around the lake. Chris was enjoying her vacation so far. She was a little ahead of everyone, with Anthony by her side.

“One more week to go, before we have to go back home.” Chris was enjoying the simple life up in the mountains.

She wishes she could stay here, year-round. She and Anthony stop to pick up a few stones to skip across the lake. The few stones she tosses, don’t go as far as the ones Anthony skips across the water.

“Dang it.” Chris looks towards Anthony with a pouty look on her face.

“Don’t give me that look. I’ve seen you skip stones before.” Anthony knew Chris sucked at skipping stones.

“Well, why don’t you show me how to do it properly?” Chris turns the charm up a little.

Anthony just shakes his head and picks a stone up “watch how I put a little flick into it with my wrist.”

He skips the stone across the lake. He turns around to look at Chris “see, that’s how you skip a stone.”

Chris picks a stone up and walks up next to Anthony. She pulls her arm back as he did and tosses the stone. She puts a little flick into it like Anthony showed her and watch as it goes further than any of the other ones.

“I did it!” Chris was jumping up and down. She was excited because of how far her stone went.

“That you did.” Anthony had a smile on his face at Chris’s excitement.

Chris couldn’t believe she did it. She skips over to Anthony and places a kiss on his cheek.

“Thank you.” As she grabs his hand and starts catching up with the other guys.

They make it back to camp and begin dinner. It was Bruce’s turn to cook. He was making fajitas and tacos for everyone. Jimmy was helping
with the cooking. He was cooking the Spanish rice and refried beans.

Chris walks into the camper and grabs a clean pad. She needed to change hers. She heads over to the bath house, instead of using the toilet in the camper.

By the time she changes her pad and freshened up, dinner was ready. She could smell the food as she got closer to the campsite. She walks over and starts loading her plate up from the spread that had been set-up on the picnic table.

Drinks are handed out as Chris makes her way to her lounge chair. Chris takes a bite of her food and enjoyed what she tasted. She takes a sip of her drink and it tasted like a mango wine cooler.

She loved the taste of the mango wine coolers and drinks about four of them. There was enough food for seconds. Chris goes back for seconds like everyone else. She had no idea that Bruce and Jimmy could cook like professional chefs.

As night descended, it got extremely dark around the campground. Chris looks up towards the night sky and notices that the moon wasn’t even out. The only light came from what fires were burning in the firepits at each campsite and what tiki torches or lanterns were being used.

They carry on into the night enjoying the drinks and making smores. Chris and Anthony helped clean the dinner dishes up and making sure all the pans that had been used were cleaned. Chris was feeling a little light headed and her bladder was urging her to go.

She gets up and heads towards the bathroom facilities. Chris was feeling so relax and could barely keep her eyes open as she sat on the toilet. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

A figure dressed all in black comes in and picks Chris’s unconscious form up and walk away from the bathroom. They didn’t even pull her shorts up. They just leave them there in the bathroom.

The person carries her out into the wood and hangs her by her arm from a thick tree branch. They start beating her with a leather belt, leaving welts and black and blue bruises all over her body. After an hour or so of doing that, the figure leaves Chris’s battered body in the woods.

When Chris wakes up from the drug that had been used on her. She hurt all over and felt sick to her stomach. She could barely move, and she had blood leaking out of her nose.

Whatever had been done to her, caused her pain every time she moved. Tears slide down her cheeks as she tries to stand. She looks at her wrist and noticed that they were red and raw. She shivers as a breeze blows by her exposed skin.

Chris tries standing but falls back down to the ground. Whoever brought her out into the woods had cut her feet and made it difficult to walk on them. She crawls on hands and knees on the path she found that she had been dragged in. Every moment was painful both physically and emotionally. She had no idea who would do this to her. The last thing she remembered was being in the women’s restroom.

She keeps following the path that had been made by whoever kidnapped her. She does stop to throw up. Whatever had been given to her, was making her extremely sick.

Once she finished throwing up, she continued to follow the path. Chris stops and lays down on the ground after two hours. Her knees were bloody from all the crawling she had been doing. All the injuries she had sustained from the beating she had been given were taking their toll on her.

Chris passes out from the pain and the drugs still in her system. She lays in the middle of the path that she had been following. Blood still seeps from the wounds that had been partially closed.

Campsite:
Jimmy had gone back to the campsite after having his fun with Chris. All the guys were still passed out from the drugs he gave them. He knew they wouldn’t be waking up till the morning time. He leaves everything where it had been when he had left and waits till the guys wake-up.

Early morning is when he hears his cousin Edward, Bruce wake-up first. The two of them look around camp and were feeling a little sick to their stomachs. Anthony wakes up a few minutes later and upchucks whatever is in his stomach. He managed to hit the firepit.

He looks around and could see everyone was feeling and looking like he felt. Anthony glances around one more time but doesn’t see Chris anywhere.

“Where is Chris?” Anthony sucks it up and looks inside the camper they shared.

He doesn’t see her in there. He comes back out and looks around the camp for her.

“Did anyone see, Chris, come back from the toilet last night?”

“No, I don’t think she came back last night.” Jimmy was playing it like he had been affected as well.

“Let me go and see if she is still in the toilet.” As he starts walking towards the restroom across from them.

“I’m coming with you, Anthony.” Edward runs after Anthony.

He was still feeling the effects of whatever drug they had been given. Something wasn’t right here. First Chris was given a drug and now all of
them. Someone among them was doing things on purpose.

Anthony walks into the women’s restroom and spots the shorts Chris wore the other day. Her shorts and the panties she had on were laying on the floor in the stall she had been in. He walks into the stall and picks them up.

“These are her panties and shorts. Now, where is Chris?” Anthony looks towards Edward because he had followed Anthony into the women’s restroom.

“That’s a good question. Why would someone drug all of us and take her?” Edward was curious.

“I don’t know, but they couldn’t get out of here without following the paths to the road in the dark. The gates are locked after sundown.” Anthony had done his homework when he chose this campsite.

That means they would have to carry her up some of the switchbacks. That would take almost all night to do.”

“Let’s check some of the paths.” Anthony and Edwards head back towards the campsite.

They see Bruce and Jimmy cleaning the place up. Anthony looks towards Jimmy and wondering why he wasn’t feeling the after-effects of whatever drug had been used on them.

“Bruce, someone has taken Chris. I don’t know who or why, but someone has taken her. Edward and I are going to go and see if we can find her. She might still be somewhere around these woods or pathway.”

“Alright, take one of the walkie talkies with you, so we can keep in touch.” Bruce wonders who it could be drugging them.

Edward grabs a walkie talkie and a first aid kit just in case she is hurt, and a backpack filled with water bottles. He looks towards Anthony “why don’t you grab a pair of her shorts as well. She might be naked since we found her shorts in the bathroom.”

“Good idea.” Anthony goes inside the camper and grabs a pair of panties and shorts for Chris.

Once he has them, he stuffs them in the backpack. He puts the backpack on and starts heading out to find Chris. Edward follows him as the two of them go and look for Chris.

When they are away from the campsite “who do you think it is, Anthony?”

“I think Jimmy is doing this. First Chris gets sick yesterday after receiving her stew from him and then it seems he drugged our food last night.
Also, he didn’t seem too effective by whatever was used on us.” Anthony was going over what he saw when he looked around this morning.

“What do you mean? You empty your stomach into the firepit. I felt like crap and I know Bruce did as well because he was slurring and stumbling around.” Edward had seen Bruce stumbled.

“Right, but did Jimmy seem affected by whatever was used on us? Did you see him stumbling or slurring his words or even throwing up as I did?” Anthony glances at Edward.

Edward had to think about what Anthony said and had to agree, that Jimmy hadn’t done any of that. But, why would he go to the extreme on poisoning them and hurting, Chris? Why did Jimmy have such a hatred towards Chris? Chris has never done anything to anyone and knew how much of a hard life Chris has had. She was lucky that Anthony’s parents took her in and raised her as their daughter.

For the next three hours, Anthony and Edward check the trails looking for Chris. Anthony was sure that whoever took Chris, would have to have taken one of the trails to get to the highway. As they were taking the last trail back to camp. Edward spotted a path and decided to check it out. It looked like someone had been dragged on the ground. He could feel Anthony behind him as they followed the path.

“CHRIS!” As Edward and Anthony run towards Chris unconscious form.

“Move her carefully.” Anthony could see someone had beat her badly with a strap or something.

She had marks all over her body and legs. Some of the wounds she had come reopened and were slowly bleeding. Anthony checks her pulse, notices she was still alive.

“We need to get her back to camp right away.”

“Who would do this to her?” As Edward picks Chris unconscious form up off the ground.

“I can carry her, Edward.” Anthony looks towards his friend with Chris in his arms.

“I got her. Let’s get her back to camp.” Edward starts heading back the way they came.

Anthony follows and was concerned about Chris. If Jimmy did this to her, so help him that he would return the favor back to him. Chris has suffered enough.

It takes them about half-n-hour to get back to camp. Edward takes Chris into her and Anthony’s camper. He strips her out of the ruined shirt she was wearing.

“Anthony, boil some water. I need hot water to clean her injuries. Also, my paramedic bag is in the back of my SUV. Grab that as well.” Edward was a volunteered paramedic.

Anthony rushes from his camper towards Edwards SUV. He opens it and grabs the bright orange paramedic bag from Edwards vehicle.

“Is there anything I can do to help, Anthony?” Bruce had seen the two of them running into camp and into Anthony’s camper.

“Yes, boil up some hot water for me.” He heads back into the camper.

Bruce grabs one of their large pots and rushes over to the water spigot and fill the pot. He looks around for Jimmy but doesn’t see him. Once the pot was filled with cold water. He takes back over and uses the two-burner propane stove to heat the water up.

Edward cleans the wounds with what he had on hand. He looks towards Anthony.

“Grab me that bottle of whiskey we started last night.”

Anthony rushes out of the camper and looks around for the whiskey they had started drinking. He spots it and takes inside “here.”

“Thanks.” Edwards accepts it and starts using it to clean Chris’s wounds.

Anthony stands back and watches as Edward tends to Chris’s injuries. He wishes he knew more in order to help Chris. After about twenty
minutes, there is a knock on the door.

Anthony opens the door and opens it. He spots Bruce holding a pot of boiling water.

“Here’s the hot water.”

“Thanks.” As Anthony takes the pot and sets it down.

Bruce sticks his head in “is she going to be okay?”

“She should be, Bruce. I don’t think we need to rush her to a hospital yet.” Edward had washed all the dirt and dry blood off Chris.

“I would like to catch the sob who did this to Chris. She’s never done anything to anyone to deserve this type of punishment or hurt.” Anthony was ready to kill whoever hurt his friend.

Anthony helps Edward clean and bandage Chris. Edward swore when he saw that Chris’s feet had been cut. The cuts weren’t too bad and wouldn’t need stitches

“That’s all I can do for her. The rest is up to her.” Edward starts picking up all the gauze and such that he used to clean Chris’s body.

Anthony tucks Chris in. He wanted whoever did this to her. He walks out of the camper and over to the ice chest and grabs a beer. He spots Bruce fixing some dinner and Edward cleaning his hands.

“Where’s Jimmy?” Anthony didn’t see him anywhere around.

“Don’t know. I haven’t seen him since you brought Chris back.” Bruce wonders where he had gone off too.

“Well, I want to talk with him.” Anthony chugs a beer down and when he finishes that one. He grabs a second one.

“I’m making some beef stew for dinner. Do you think Chris will be up to eating some?”

“I don’t know. Hopefully, she’ll wake up soon.” Anthony sits down and watches Bruce fix dinner.

Chris wakes up and sits up in bed. She was dazed and tried to scream, but her throat was still to sore for her to scream. She looks around, trying to figure out where she was. The last thing she remembers was seeing Edward and Anthony.

Anthony is startled when he feels Chris sit-up in the middle of the night. He looks at her as she tries to figure out where she is.

“Easy, Chris. You’re safe now.” As he gently tries to lower her back down to the bed.

Chris allows herself to be pulled back down to the mattress. She feels Anthony’s strong arms wrap around her. He wasn’t holding her tight, but enough gently enough like he did when they were younger, and she had nightmares.

Chris just stares into the darkness of the camper they were in and wonder why she was being beaten on. Who hated her so much, that they felt it was necessary to hurt her and leave her to die? She tries to close her eyes, but she couldn’t fall asleep again.

She just stays in Anthony’s arms and tries not to move as he slept. She slowly starts to fall asleep, as she relaxes against him. Chris holds tightly on Anthony’s arms as she slept.

Anthony wakes up early the next morning and notices that Chris was still sound asleep against him. He wonders why Jimmy did what he did. Chris hasn’t done anything to him or against him. He tries to remove his arm, so he could get up and go to the bathroom, but every time he did. Chris grip would tighten around his arm.

“Chris, I need to get up and pee.” Anthony could feel his bladder starting to hurt.

Chris loosens her grip on Anthony’s arm. She feels him get out of bed and listen while he uses the camper’s toilet. Every part of her body was still hurting. She jumps when she hears someone knocking on the camper door.

Anthony comes out after washing his hands. He glances into the bedroom to check on Chris and saw her looking nervous.

“Chris, it's okay. I’m right here with you.” Anthony walks over to the door that leads into the camper.

When Anthony looks outside, it was Edward. He opens the door to let him in.

“How is Chris?” Edwards walks in.

“She’s nervous and jumpy, Edward.” Anthony steps aside to let Edward come in.

Edward walks into the camper slowly and back towards the Master bedroom. He knocks on the wall separating it from the rest of the camper.

“Chris, it’s Edward. Is it okay if I come in?” Edward waits till he gets the okay from Chris.

Chris checks to make sure she was covered up, before answering.

“Yes.” She watches as the door opens.

Edwards sticks his head in first and a smile appears on his face. He saw what she looked like last night when he helped tend to her injuries.

“How are you feeling?” He steps slowly over to the bed and sits down next her.

Chris looks at him and throw her arms around him and hug him. She remembered seeing him before she blacked out.

“Thank you for finding me.” She hugs him tightly.

Edward wraps his arms around her and hugs her back “you don’t need to think me, Chris. You would have done the same for me.”

“Chris, do you remember who kidnapped you?” Edward and Anthony wanted to know if it is Jimmy or not.

“I can’t recall, who it was. One minute I’m in the toilet and the next I found myself laying on the ground in the woods with my pants missing.
When I stood up, I fell back to the ground, because of the bottom of my feet hurting. I was also hurting all over from being beaten.” Edward looks towards Anthony.

“I remember you getting up and walking to the toilet. I remember seeing you staggering towards the bathroom. We all thought you had too much to drink.”

“Why did one of you guys come and check on me, when I didn’t come back from the toilet? Did you guys think I was in there playing with myself?” Chris was upset they didn’t check and stop whoever it was that took her.

Edward and Anthony could hear the anger in Chris' voice “whoever drugged you, also drugged us.”

Anthony looks towards Chris, so she could see he wasn’t lying. All of them had been drugged so that they couldn’t interfere with whoever it was that took her. He and Edward still think it’s Jimmy who did it.

Chris looks at Anthony and then Edward. She could tell that they were telling the truth.

“I’m sorry guys.” Chris should know by now Anthony would do anything for her and so would Edward. He’s been her friend since they first meet at a monster truck rally.

“It’s okay Chris. Why don’t you take it easy and we’ll look after you or do you want to go to the hospital?”

“No hospital. My injuries aren’t that serious.” Chris didn’t like hospitals.

“Okay, you stay here in the camper and we will check on you.” Edward leaves the bedroom.

Chris looks towards Anthony “can you help me to the toilet, before I pee myself?”

“I think I can do that. The last thing I need to do is take this mattress outside to dry and air out.” Anthony carries Chris from the bed to the camper’s bathroom.

He lifts her nightshirt up and set her down on the toilet “I’ll be outside the door when you're ready.” As he walks out of the bathroom.

Outside the Camper:
Bruce spots Edward coming out of Anthony and Chris’s camper “how is she?”

“She’s doing better then she was when we found her. Have you been able to locate Jimmy?” Edward wonders where he went because this
wasn’t looking good for him.

“Nothing. I called all the people I know he hangs out with, plus my mother and his mother. No one has heard from him.” Bruce didn’t know why his cousin ran off.

“How much cash does he have on hand with him?”

“A couple of hundred. He pulled out some cash before we met up with you.”

“Alright, we can go out after breakfast to see if he is at the bus station or staying nearby in a hotel.” Edward figures there is no way Jimmy could have gotten far.

Chris couldn’t believe that they couldn’t find Jimmy anywhere. They had gone out in Bruce’s truck t look for Jimmy. They had stopped at some of the hotels near the campground to see if he checked in there. After that, they went into town and went to the Greyhound bus station to see if Jimmy took the bus, but ticket agents hadn’t seen him there.

They stop at Wendy’s for lunch. Chris was watching the parking lot from the table they had gotten. Anthony made her sit, while he stood in line with Bruce and Edward. She watches as a woman with three kids tries to get them to behave.

She sighs as she turns her attention to Anthony and the other guys. She still couldn’t figure out why Jimmy would do what he did to her. She never did anything to him. It was like what her older brother and father did to her, all because she wanted to act and was going to wear a dress in a school play. Tears started leaking from her eyes as she tries not to cry. She already cried enough the other day.

She wipes the tears away and blows her nose. Chris checks her face with a compact mirror from her purse. She notices her eyes were red and puffy from crying. She takes a wet napkin out of her purse and wipes her face. She carries a few because of her bladder problem.

The guys come back over and sit down at the table. Anthony sits a chicken sandwich down in front of Chris along with fries and a large Frosty.
He knew how much she loved Wendy’s frosty.

“Thanks, Anthony.” As she unwraps the chicken sandwich.

“Any time.” He bites into his triple-decker bacon burger.

“I can’t believe we can’t find Jimmy.” Bruce takes a bite of his hamburger.

“I know. You don’t think he got a ride from a trucker, do you?” Edward has been thinking about that.

“It’s possible or he could have gone to a used car place and asked to test drive one of their cars. He’s done it before when we were younger.”
Bruce recalls the time when they went looking for a car and Jimmy asked to test drive a truck on the lot he liked. They didn’t bring the car back till after the place closed.

“I called Alex and Jason and I asked them to keep an eye out for Jimmy. I told them what we suspect he did to Chris and they were pissed.” Edward knew Alex and Jason liked Chris. They thought of her as their little sister.

“I just want to know why he did it? I’ve never done anything mean to him unless he started it.” Chris looks at the guys.

“All we can think of is how his friends dressed him up like a prostitute and locked him out of his apartment. He was embarrassed when the cops came and were going to arrest him.” Edward recalls that day.

“Still that’s no reason to hate someone because they are different than you. That’s also no reason to drug them and beat the crap out of them and leave them in the woods to die.” Chris was pissed.

“We know Chris. All we can do now is find him and make him pay for what he did to you.” Anthony could see Chris shiver some.

After they finish lunch at Wendy’s. They take a cruise along Skyline Drive. They pull over when they spot a black bear foraging. He was away from the highway, but they could see him walking near the tree line.

Chris takes her camera out to take a couple of pictures of him. Once she was done taking pictures of the black bear. They continue down the
skyline and stop again to take pictures of the view. She was still nervous, but the guys were always near her. She has an accident and they have to stop at a place for her to change her pad and underwear.

Once she was done cleaning herself and wearing a new pad and panties. They continue heading back towards their campsite. By the time they get back, it was dark.

“I’ll cook us some dinner.” Bruce starts building up the firewood in the fire pit.

Chris watches Bruce as he gets the firepit going. She looks up into the night sky and watches as clouds drift in. She loved seeing a river of stars in the night sky.

She goes back to watching Bruce as he fixes dinner for them. He gets some rice going and takes out two bags of frozen stir fry vegetables and cooks it. He had cooked some strips of beef before he added the vegetables. The bag came with two sauce pockets. He adds them in and stirs the vegetables and meat.

Anthony fixes Chris a plate first and hands it to her. He also grabs a wine cooler for her as well from the cooler. They had picked up more beer and wine coolers.

“Thanks, Anthony.” Chris opens the wine cooler and takes a sip from it.

TA Truck Stop, Ashland, Va.:
Jimmy had managed to hitch a ride from a truck driver heading south. The truck driver dropped him off at TA truck shop, where he got a hotel room from the hotel across the street from the truck stop.

He has been watching the news to see if there were any reports of what he did to Chris. Nothing, about what he did or anyone finding her showed on the news. Which meant that the guys at the campsite must have found her. He threw a fit about that. He wanted her to die. She was a freak that shouldn’t be allowed to live.

He hears his cellphone ring and notices it was his mother. He ignores her call. He knows if he answers the call, she will either chew his ass out for doing what he did to Chris, which Bruce would have told her, or she will tell Bruce and them where he is. He called a friend of his that belongs to a church group that was against gays, lesbians and transgenders to come and pick him up. Why he even agreed to come on this camping trip, when he knew Chris was coming was beyond his reasoning. He thought he could enrage her and turn the fellows against her, but that didn’t happen.

Later in the evening, there was a knock at his door. He looks through the peephole and saw that it was his friend Roman. He opens the door and steps aside “come on in, Roman.”

Roman comes walking into the hotel room. He stood about 6 ft. tall and was a little older than Jimmy. He had all sorts of tattoo’s run up down his arms and what you could see peeking out of his t-shirt. He was wearing a faded pair of blue jeans and military-style combat boots.

Jimmy knew Roman normally carried a .357 magnum revolver with him. Once Roman was in his room, he shuts the door behind him.

“So, did you kill her?” Roman turned around to look at Jimmy.

“There’s been no word on the news yet of her body being found.”

“Then that means you didn’t succeed, Jimmy. You know Mr. Kellestine isn’t going to be happy with you.” Roman looks at Jimmy with a disappointed look on his face.

“Look, why does he want her killed? I mean, I have no love for her. I think people like her need to be sent to a mental hospital. They are sick and shouldn’t be allowed to be in general public.” Jimmy really meant what he said, but he wanted to know what Mr. Kellestine want her dead?
What did Chris do to him?

“Ours is not the reason why ours is to do or die.” Roman just look at Jimmy. He had orders to kill him if he didn’t accomplish his task.

After he killed him, he was supposed to do the deed himself. He had to admit, that he enjoyed the last transgender person he killed. The bitch lasted a week before it died off. The police still haven’t found the body yet.

“Look, they are still up at the campsite. I can ambush her up there in the woods. Did you bring a hunting rifle with you?” Jimmy figures he can make the shooting of Chris look like a hunting accident.

“Yeah, I brought the rifle with me. It’s stolen, so it can’t be traced back to you.” Roman had taken it from a hunter that had stopped at the same gas station as him. He checked the rifle, to make sure it worked properly.

“We’ll head back tomorrow morning. I’ll make up some excuse or something.” Jimmy had to figure something out to lure Chris out.

Chris tosses and turns throughout the night. A few times she sits up in bed. Anthony wraps his arms around her and comforts her. He hasn’t seen her like this in a long time. The last time Chris had nightmares, is when his parents took her in. She had just gotten out of the hospital from the surgery she needed to repair the damage her brother and father did to her.

He holds her close to him after he manages to get her to relax. He could feel her shiver occasionally, as she slept. He wonders what Chris’s life would have been like if her brother and father hadn’t done what they did to her.

He finally drifts off to sleep, just as raindrops start hitting the roof of the camper. He feels Chris snuggling closer to him. He opens one eye to look at her, before closing his eyes and letting sleep take him.

Chris wakes up around noontime. She notices that Anthony had his arm wrapped around her as he slept behind her. She could feel him press against the back of her body. She could tell he was wearing a pair of boxers, but she could feel his manhood pressed against her panties.

She listens to his light breathing as the rain hit against the roof of their camper. She reaches over for her cellphone to see what the weather was going to be like but couldn’t get a signal because of the mountains surrounding them. She felt safe in his arms. She was still worried about Jimmy.

She feels the pressure of bladder and knew if she didn’t get to the toilet soon, she’ll pee her pad. She extracts herself from the warmth of the bed and the safety of Anthony’s arm and heads towards the toilet quickly. Just as she lowers her panties and her butt hit the toilet, she starts peeing. She sits there and wonders what she should do about Jimmy. Should she call the cops on him or wait to see what his next move is? If she told the cops, what proof does she have that it was him that beat her up and not someone else?

While she is sitting there doing her business, she hears someone knocking on the door of the camper. She finishes up and rushes to the door. As she opens it, it was Edward and Bruce standing outside and getting wet.

“Come on in guys. I’ll wake Anthony and tell him you’re here.” Chris steps back to let the guys in.

“Thanks, Chris.” Edward enters first, followed by Bruce.

“Why don’t you guys make yourself some coffee, while I wake the bear.” Chris walks back towards the bedroom.

Bruce leans next to Edward “you know if I didn’t know that Chris wasn’t a true genetic girl. I would want to fuck her, just to see what she is like in bed.”

“Trust me, I think she would be more then you could handle.” Edwards has been with a transgender person before and loved the person.

He was a little disappointed that she didn’t trust him enough.To tell him the truth about herself. He had to learn that the person he loved, hadn’t trusted him. If she had told him, instead of finding out form someone else, he wouldn’t have felt so mad towards. He found out a couple of weeks later, that she had been killed in a drive-by shooting.

To this day, he still regrets walking away from her. She only did what she felt was right for and didn’t want to be reminded about her past. He walks over to the coffee machine and brews some coffee.

Chris kneels on the bed and tickles Anthony’s nose with a strand of her hair. She watches as he swats at it. She does it again and watches as he swats it again.

“Anthony, its time to get up.” Chris places a kiss on his cheek.

She watches as he doesn’t move.

“Fine! I know what will get you up.” She reaches under the blanket and into his boxers and Squeezes his manhood.

He pulls her down to the bed and roll on top of her “don’t start something, you can’t finish.” As he places a kiss on her lips and hops off the bed towards the bathroom.

Chris just smiles, as she gets up and slips on a pair of shorts. She heads back towards the kitchen to fix some food.

“Have you guys eaten this morning?” Chris looks towards Edward and Bruce.

“Nope, not yet. We came over to see what yours and Anthony’s plans were for today.” Bruce had slept in late and he knew Edward had as well.

“Why don’t I make something for all of us.” Chris goes about fixing lunch for all of them.

Anthony comes walks out of the Master bedroom, dressed. He walks over and fixes himself some coffee.

“Have any of your relatives or friends heard from Jimmy?” Anthony looks over towards Bruce.

“Nope, no one has heard anything from him. Where ever he is, he is being cautious.” Bruce would like to know where Jimmy ran off too.

Chris was listening to the guys, while she fixed lunch for everyone. She wanted to know why he did, what he did to her. True, neither one liked each other, but she has never been mean to him on purpose. It has always been in retaliation for what he said or did to her.

She finishes making lunch and set everything out on the small table. Once everything was set on the table “help yourself, fellows.”

The guys noticed Chris set out everything for them to make burritos for themselves. She makes two for herself. As they sat in the camper eating. Chris gets the poker chips and playing cards out and has them sitting nearby.

She looks outside their camper and saw the dark clouds overhead. The rain had slacked off some but was still drizzling. She figures they would be better off staying inside today.

As for Jimmy, they were going to have to wait to see what his next move was. She hopes they can capture him and turn him over to the police. She cleans up the leftovers from lunch and put them away.

She sits back down and starts pass some chips out and get ready to play cards with the guys.

“Come on guys, we need to hurry if we want to be back by nightfall.” Chris adjust her backpack as she stands near the picnic table waiting on the rest of the guys.

She was feeling better and had her ankle wrapped up. She took some aspirin for the pain.

“We’re coming.” The guys finally come out to join Chris.

Anthony look at Chris “are you sure, you’re up to this?”

“I’ll be fine.” Chris grabs the walking stick she brought back with her from Crabtree Falls.

They head into the woods and find the map of the route they were going to take. It was going to take them up to the ridge top and around the ridge and back down again. The toughest part was going to be getting to the ridge top. That was going to be a rough path up.

Jimmy was hiding nearby watching the group. He was hidden in the woods near the campsite. He had been waiting to see what they were going to do. He watches as they headed towards a trail. He had a map of the trails around Sherando Lake and saw where he could ambush them.

He heads in that direction. He figures if he moves swiftly, he could beat them to the area. Jimmy was excited about this and felt thrilled. He wonders if this was how hunter’s felt when they went after their quarry.

Chris was finding the trail a little difficult, but she wasn’t going to stop her. She looks at Edward and Bruce. They were ahead of her and Anthony. Anthony had hung back to help her on a few climbs.

They continue up the trail. They were almost to the top of the ridge. Chris’s calf muscles were screaming at her.

“Guys, once we reach the top. Let’s take a break. My calf muscles are screaming at me.” Chris could feel the burn in her calf muscles.

“No problem, Chris. We’re almost to Turkey Pen Ridge Trail.” Edward had the trail map with him and was looking at it.

“Thanks.” Chris holds digs her walking stick in and follow Bruce and Edward.

“You know, I could get used to living out here. It’s so peaceful and beautiful.” Bruce looks around at the woods as they continued up the path.

“You say that now, but how about when the roads are covered up by snow and such?” Chris hated driving in snowy weather.

“That’s why God created snow chains and snowmobiles.” Edward loved the outdoors.

“You saw what happened the last time we went skiing. I hit myself in the mouth.” Chris still couldn’t figure out how she managed to hit the inside of her mouth without breaking any teeth.

When they finally reach the top. She leans against her walking stick for support and was trying to relax. Maybe she shouldn’t be pushing herself as hard as she was, after the ordeal, she went through. She grabs a cold-water bottle from her pack and drinks some of the water.

Edward munches on a beef jerky strip he picked up at Food Loin when they went. Bruce and Anthony were doing the same thing as Chris and drinking from their water bottles. It wasn’t hot out, but it did feel good for the water to be going down their throats.

“Come on, let’s push on.” Edward puts the empty wrapper in his pants pocket.

“If we must.” Chris follows Bruce and Edward.

They follow the trail map for the next hour or so. Every once in a while, Chris or one of the guys would stop and take pictures of some Eagle’s flying or some deer or fox they spotted. Chris couldn’t believe how nice the clear blue sky looked.

“God, this is so beautiful.” Chris was enjoying their hike.

They continue, till they come to the halfway mark. Chris locates a nice spot for them to sit and enjoy some lunch. Instead of the MRE’s, she packed last time. She made sandwiches and packed some fruit cups as well.

Jimmy spotted Chris, Bruce, Edward and Anthony sitting in a clearing enjoying some lunch. He looks through the scope at Chris.

“This is almost too easy.” As he pulls the trigger.

Chris was raising her bottled water to her mouth when it exploded after the sound of a gunshot. She dives to the side, as another bullet hits right where she was sitting. The guys had moved as well.

Edward reaches for his backpack and unzips it. He had packed his handgun this time. He didn’t know when Jimmy was going to strike, but he wanted to be prepared just in case. He fires back in the direction he figured the shots were coming from.

Jimmy hears gunshots and several of those shots landed near him in the trees. He spots Edwards with a gun firing towards him. He fires off several shots. The first one missed, but the second one hits Edwards in the right shoulder.

Chris was laying flat on the ground. Anthony was lying next to her. Several bullets whiz over their heads and hit the trees behind them. She spots Edward peek up and fire a gun. She didn’t know he carried a gun. The next thing she sees is Edward being hit in his right shoulder. He falls face forward towards the ground.

“Is that Jimmy firing towards us?” Chris pees her pants from being frightened.

“I don’t know. Bruce, how is Edward?” Anthony was concerned about his friend.

Bruce looks over towards Edward and notices he was moaning. He could see where the bullet existed Edwards body.

“He’s still alive. It might have gone through.” Bruce couldn’t tell.

Jimmy gathers his stuff and moves. He didn’t want them to be able to shoot back at him. He didn’t know Edward carried a gun.

He moves quickly to get away from them. He’ll have to think of another way to get at Chris. He walks away and heads towards another trail that will take him back to the road.

After a few minutes, Chris moves over towards Edward to check him out. She could see where the bullet exited his shoulder.

“We need to get him back to camp.”

Anthony takes his shirt off and was about to use it, to bind his wound.

“Here, use my pads to help stop the blood.” Chris digs into her backpack and pulls out three of her pads.

She hands two of them to Anthony. She realized that during the excitement, she had an accident.

“Thanks.” Anthony accepts the pads and places them on each side of the bullet hole.

He uses his torn shirt to secure them in place. He makes sure they are tight, before helping Edward stand.

“Chris, are you going to be okay if we hustle to get back to the camp?” Anthony was concerned about Edward and Chris.

“I’ll crawl if I have too.” Chris picks Edwards backpack up.

“Let’s move it, people.” Bruce helps Anthony with Edward.

Chris follows behind the guys as they carry Edward down the trail they took to get where they were. Anthony and Bruce were setting a fast pace. Chris could hear that Edward was in pain.

It takes them half the time it did to get up to the trail. Chris runs towards the camper and grab Anthony’s car keys and dash back outside with them. She presses the remote to open the doors.

Anthony helps Edward into the SUV. Chris hops into the back seat with Bruce. Anthony stops at the gate guard to the campsite to let them know they might be back late.

Anthony heads towards the hospital as fast as he can. He runs through several stoplights and almost causes a few accidents.

“Anthony, are you trying to kill us?” Chris couldn’t believe how reckless Anthony was being.

Anthony just smiles as he steps on the accelerator. He pulls up to the emergency room and helps Edward out of the SUV and into the
emergency room.

It was late in the evening by the time they left the hospital. The gunshot wound Edward received had to be reported and they told the Staunton police what happened. That included what happened to Chris as well. The police officer taking her statement did give her a weird look but continued taking her statement.

So, they got a hotel room for the night. They stopped at a pizza place and picked up a few large pizzas. Edward and Bruce were going to share a room with her and Anthony.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I am going to take a shower.” Chris heads into the bathroom and strips out of her clothes.

Chris steps into the shower and lets the water cascade down her youthful figure. When she reaches in between her legs and feel what was left of her birth defect. She wishes the hospital had removed the damn thing. It was a reminder to her of the events that made her the way she is.
Why couldn’t her brother had finished the damn job.

She stands under the shower for a while and once she was done. She dries off and slips her shirt back on. She had some clean panties in her backpack that she took with her. She wraps the towel around her waist, so the guys aren't bothered by her appearance.

Chris walks into the room and noticed Edward was passed out. The damage to his shoulder wasn’t life-threatening. Bruce was enjoying his fourth bottle of beer and Anthony was laid out on the bed. She walks over to her backpack and take her spare pair of panties out and slip them on.

“You know, you don’t have to cover-up, Chris. We don’t care about your defect.” Bruce only saw Chris as a woman.

“I know, but I’m still a little shy around you guys.” Chris removes the towel covering her waist.

The shirt she had on was long enough to cover her bottom. She crawls into bed, next to Anthony.

“What are we going to do about Jimmy?” Chris looked towards Bruce.

“I don’t know. I never thought he would go this far to hurt you or any of us.” Bruce takes a swig of his beer.

“Well, tomorrow is our last day here. I have to be back at my suck-ass job, and I know Anthony has to be back to his job as well.” Chris hated her waitress job and her private security job.

Some of her customers weren’t that bad, but she hated being on her feet all day long. As for her security job, she was inside a building with nothing to do. She was working unarm and was bored.

Chris grinds her butt against Anthony’s manhood. She feels him squeeze her breast as he pulls her closer. She slides her panties down, as she feels him slide his boxers down. Throughout the night he makes love to her. A few times he has to place his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet.

After their loving making, Anthony holds Chris tight against his chest. He could tell she was sound asleep. As he falls asleep holding her. He knows they have just crossed that friendship line.

When morning comes around, Chris stumbles out of bed and head towards the bathroom. Her bladder was ready to release. She was half asleep as she opens the bathroom.

“Hey, it’s occupied.”

Chris looks up and saw that Bruce was on the toilet “sorry, Bruce.”

Chris closes the bathroom door. She goes back and sits down on the edge of the bed. She crosses her legs and tries to hold it until Bruce
comes out. Her bladder was ready to release its load when she hears Bruce flush the toilet. Just as he came around the corner from the bathroom, she rushes by him.

“God, Bruce light a match next time or warn me next time.” Chris drops her panties just in time as a waterfall squirts out.

She loved feeling the semen from Anthony drip from her ass. She wonders if natural women experience the same thing from their vaginas. Once she was done, she cleans herself and heads back out to get ready to leave.

She does stop and kiss Anthony. She loved feeling his manhood in her ass last night. They check out at ten o’clock and head back to the campsite. On route, they stop to buy some more beer.

When they arrive back at their campsite “I’ll get lunch going after I put these in the refrigerator in the camper.”

Chris carries the beer they bought towards the camper and just as she opens the door. There’s a loud sound as she falls backward with the bag that held the beer damage and a red spot forming on her chest.

“Take that, BITCH!” As Jimmy stands in the doorway looking down at Chris.

Bruce, Edward and Anthony look over towards Jimmy’s voice. He was standing in the doorway of Anthony’s and Chris camper, gloating over her prone body. Chris was on her back, on the ground with cans of beer spraying her, washing her blood onto the ground.

Bruce grabbed his hunting knife out of his sheath and tossed it at Jimmy. It hits Jimmy in his right shoulder. Anthony tackles Jimmy and shoves him back into the camper. People were gathering around them. Edward was still feeling the pain medicine he was on.

Three rangers come over to see what they could do to help. Two of the rangers was trying to stop the bleeding from the gunshot wound. The third ranger went in and found Anthony with his hands around Jimmy’s neck, choking him to death. Bruce was trying to stop Anthony from killing Jimmy.

Bruce managed to pull Anthony off of Jimmy. The Forest ranger places Jimmy under arrest. Sirens could be heard coming down towards them. An ambulance shows up and transports Chris to the hospital.

She spends several hours in surgery. The bullet had bounced around inside her chest and done some damage to her right lung. When she was done in surgery, they transfer her to ICU unit 3.

Anthony stayed with her and was asked by the police what had happened. He told them everything. Which matched what he told them when Edward got shot.

After the police leave, the doctor working on Chris comes out and looks at him “she’s going to pull through, but she lost half her right lung. The bullet bounced around inside her rib caged.”

Anthony felt sorry for Chris. First, she loses her penis and testes and now she loses half her right lung. “can I see her, please?”

“Yes, but don’t stay long.” The doctor turns around and heads back through the double doors.

A nurse escorts Anthony up to the ICU floor and to the room Chris will be in, while she recovers. Anthony walks in and looks down at her sleeping form. She looked so peaceful and felt sorry for her. Chris could be a little childish and flirty, but she didn’t deserve to be shot and lose half a lung.

Anthony gives Chris hand a little squeeze before he leaves. He pulls his cellphone out and calls his mom to let her know what has happened. She sees Chris as her daughter, ever since they took her in after what her father and brother did to her.

His mother said she would inform Jimmy’s mother about what he did. Anthony’s mother knew Jimmy’s parents were going to take it hard. The thing that bothered Anthony, Edward, and Bruce the most, was what caused Jimmy to snap like he did.

Anthony heads back towards the campsite and arranges to stay a little longer. Bruce was going to go ahead and take Edward back home.
However, he did want Anthony to let him know how Chris was doing.

Anthony and Chris Home:
A week and a half later, Chris was released from the hospital. She had been visited by Anthony’s mother and her relatives she was still on good terms with. Her doctor gave her a list of instructions she had to follow.

She pets her favorite cat from among the three that lived at the house. Sometimes, she wakes up from nightmares from the shooting. She still wanted to know why Jimmy shot her.

“How are you feeling, Christy?” Dana comes out to check on Chris.

“I’m doing okay, mom.” Chris keeps petting her favorite cat.

Dana sits down next to Chris “are you sure, sweetheart?”

Dana rubs Chris’s back. She prefers to call Chris, Christy instead of just Chris. She felt Christy was a better female sounding name for Chris.

Chris rest her head on Dana’s shoulder. She has been the only mother Chris has ever known.

“I’ll be alright, mom.” Chris closes her eyes.

Dana wraps her arm around Chris's shoulder and holds her close. She loved Chris and felt sorry for the hard life she has had.

“I know sweetie, I know.”
