You're the richest man in town. My heart cried for you three bairns, left all alone so young., I was twenty-two, Jason forced a smile. Joshua opened to the first page of the diary. Hed thought hed known his father so well. He got a polite nod of greeting from Jeremy but Joshua refused to even look at him. The lecture always ended with a homily on gratitude, obedience, and humility. Would you want to know?, Tilting her head back, she gave the question the thought it deserved. Under Lotties watchful eye, he took a deep breath, then blew it out in a noisy sigh. He wasnt! Stempel, Candy nodded her head in wary greeting. Difficulties Jason should have considered before now plagued him. Cmon then! He struggled furiously against the firm hold Jason had around his shoulders. And in a few more minutes shell be my wife. But I have to talk to someone, let this poison inside me out. If you feel you can not do that, transportation can be arranged back to your fort., Is that an ultimatum, Mr. Bolt? Thompson sneered. No, I dont think she would, Jeremy returned his laughter, then his expression turned serious. And hated himself for the weakness. Were looking into each others eyes. Howd it go at camp today?, Letting out a little breath of relief at Aarons willingness to play the game, Jason smiled. How bad a beating was up to him. It was tragic what happened to them and to you. There are a lot of changes that take place for the Bolt/Stempel family, will they be able to handle them? Hey, Red. Nearly a full head shorter than his partner, Billy reached up to slap his shoulder. Maddie is also well and pleased with her new son. Itll all work out for the best, Aaron, youll see.. What you have a right to., Aarons grin grew wolfish. Feeling the animosity, Aarons eyes narrowed then flashed danger. He deserved to be acknowledged as such. Jason would only let him stay in bed until breakfast was on the table. Jason and Aaron's conflict/friendship has always fascinated me. Brides of Destruction was formed by Nikki Sixx and Tracii Guns in Los Angeles 2002 initially with the name Cockstar after Mtley Cre went on hiatus and Tracii left L.A. Shes so beautiful. Hed been accused of loving the sound of his own voice before. No, I havent. His age is right. Im talkin about those damn journals. No one could be close to them and not see it. Jason, Aarons soft voice called him back. The day had gone surprisingly well, despite the lack of preparation. Cookie said you didnt eat with the rest of the crew either., Youre not my mother, Josh snapped. We pay you to chop them down, not stand around gawking.. He said "Jeremy, you usually don't have this hard a liquor this early in the day. Jeremy knew Jason would do whatever he thought right no matter what his brothers said. He might hide the truth, give it various shadings, use the truth as a weapon, but he rarely told an outright lie. Maybe because there were times when he allowed that wall of his to slip a little. All up and down the street, heads cranked this way and that. I dont think you want him to do either., Cupping his chin, he leaned his elbow onto the table. All heads turned to the dark figure half-hidden in the shadows of the doorway. Now youre gonna pay for that, breed! Red snarled. The name of his mothers tribe captured his attention as he turned pages. Joshua snatched at the glass of whiskey beside him. Just teasing. With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife, Reverend Adams intoned. Gentle hurt/comfort (which, yes, Aaron had to be the one who was ailing, didn't he, since Jason already has more than enough people in his life who who'd have been happy to tend to his care) and pre-slash . Stomping his foot into his boot, he stood up to face the day. I wanted to send out this "New and improved" version. Jason looked down in awe at the delicate tome. Im prepared to offer the logging portion of the contract to your company, Mr. Bolt. Having seemingly regained his composure, Aaron engaged Ben in a casual conversation. Ah you must be Duncan Bolt. The general greeted Duncan with an energetic thump on the shoulder. Aaron scowled at the page. It would do him no good to deny it. Should he turn to his left and his house or continue up the path to Lotties? You will treat with Aaron Stempel with the dignity every human being deserves and the respect hes earned. With a blush and a giggle, Candy broke the delicious contact. But hed never been able to cross the line. trampset 835 Followers Follow More from Medium Mark Schaefer 20 Entertaining Uses of ChatGPT You Never Knew Were Possible I didnt say I didnt want to. What do you say, Aaron?. Sensing the developing drama, the chatter of the crowd behind Jason quieted and dancers lost their rhythm. Why wont you let me help? That the lodge will be blessed with many children., The tradition says that the.damn, I cant remember what the name of it isanyway the carving is given to the bride by one of the grooms male relatives. I dont ever want to see any of you in this territory again., Aw, Jason, Billy started to whine but Red cut him off. They should be there by now then. Aaron just wanted this sham over. Thoughts of her and the child have torn at me since I set foot on this land again. Jeremy couldnt suppress his chuckle. He gathered the now empty plates from the table and tossed them into the wash tub. Guns. Jason, Joshua and Ken dragged the rest of the combatants apart. Jeremy hoped Jason knew convincing the other two wouldnt be nearly as easy. The curtain try pulling it back, says the runaway bride, lifting her veil as she checks her Ubers ETA. Beautiful morning Turning, Stempel stalked up the church steps. Ive faced far worse than you. Even if that includes a piece of your precious mountain?. Theyd been deeply in love; he was sure of it. Jerking his watch from its pocket, he checked the time. Two dozen years and I dont know what I know. Jason could detect a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. It took no guesswork to figure out how Red and his cronies learned of Aarons ancestry. He denied it. If we accept the contract, we have to agree to cut Aaron out of the deal? When they were well on their way, Jason turned loose of Stempel. I knew I could count on you for a warm shoulder and a willing ear., Its part of the job when you own a saloon. She cracked her dishtowel in his direction. WellIm sureJason, I think its about time you go collect the bride., Im on my way, Reverend. He gave Jeremy a quick one-armed embrace. He could only speak from the heart, as he always had. By the way, I am in charge of the administration of all the lumber contracts in the area. Were they really standing behind him or only reacting to Thompsons bigotry? Jonathan Bolt began to keep a journal when he and his young bride arrived in America. It couldnt be true. Whirling, Jason squashed a plate of sandwiches with his pitcher, knowing the explosion hed dreaded was seconds away. Snagging his jacket, he headed out the door. He couldnt recall, in all the years theyd known each other, Aaron making the slightest mention of his mother. Muscles taut, Jason jerked upright in his bed. I rather enjoyed the view.. Good. He eyed her warily as she pulled back. Wed, Oct 16, 1968 30 mins. Jason sat through supper with his brothers and uncle feeling as if fire ants had infested his clothing. He felt like he was living a moment from a fairy tale. Could this possibly be about the contract? All because you were born on the right side of the blanket.. Stempels mother had died because of the actions of the Bolt clan. Like some other Bolts I know., Yeah, he grinned. Thanking him with a nod, Jason slathered a slice with butter. As the babble died, the two men locked gazes, Duncans questioning and nervous, Aarons intense and challenging. Well, Aaron, I just wanted to invite you to Sunday dinner., Dropping his head, he pressed the heels of his hands against his eyes. He never called me son. Aaron pushed himself forward, locking eyes with Jason. Grasping great handfuls of neat blue uniform, Aaron slammed the colonel against the wall. Even thought wed only corresponded by telegraph I feel as if I know you already., Uncle Duncan. Jason turned his uncle toward him. Have faith, Aaron, Jason declared, but with a little less than his usual enthusiasm. Oh, lad., Itll break your heart. I do nae know what it said, but after reading it your father was heartbroken. As soon as she disappeared, Candy clutched Jasons arm. Jeremy identified two more Bolt loggers as they were pulled free from the fight. Shed already been quite sick by the time hed arrived in Seattle. Stepping up on the porch, Duncan ignored his sarcasm. General?, General Ashland, the man extended his hand. One of Jason's loggers has been killed by some kind of large animal. We were nae fair to your father or the girl., He rubbed at his beard. What?, Thats what its always been about, hasnt it? Jason leaned in closer. His brother Aaron. I only want to rectify an injustice my father committed against you and you act like Im trying to destroy your life.. My friendship has never been based on what someone else has done for me. Nice party., Yup, Jason agreed. Th-theres nothing funny about this., Oh, Jeremy, she giggled. Well, I better get home before the boys eat all the food. Jason started down the trail, waving back over his shoulder. Then it seemed to grow a life of its own. Im used to sharing all my secrets with Maddie. Please, sweetheart.. And I think shed like it that it was given in accordance to tradition.. Contracted yellow fever crossing the Isthmus. Aaron stepped into the lamplight, his expression unreadable. But because he loved the struggle so much? Her career spans over thirty years of television, films and theatre. Perhaps their being so young contributed to what happened., He sighed, swirled the amber liquid around in his glass. Discovering Aarons secret at this particular time was looking less and less coincidental. What a good read! Jake and Lucas cringed. He wasnt defeated yet but he needed time to regroup. Hes getting married next month to Candy. And "The Chatelaine" wrote itself. Had Bolt truly cared or were the words just to soothe his own conscience? I shared "Family Duty" with other HCTB "girls in the dormitory." Biddie has such good intentions but her timing could certainly stand improvement., No matter what Biddie said, Thompson was way out of line., Jason jerked his head. Well, if you dont need my help, I better be getting home., I suppose, she smiled. Its a good thing to know I can always count on my family lookin out for me., Aaron, listen, I didnt arrest them because, No! He backed away from Jasons reaching hand. Jason was appalled but not for the reason Aaron thought. He was sure she had told no one else about the daughter shed been forced to give up. Hell, he might do it anyway. Now he wondered if hed ever really known him at all. Oh, Candy, you dont really think hed do anything to ruin your wedding? Jason kept his voice confident although he had his own misgivings in that direction. So Im ready to listen to anything you have to say., His love for this woman swelled in his heart until he didnt think he could contain it. The youngest is scuffing around with his bride-to-be, looking like a kicked puppy. Hed done entirely too much reading in the past few nights. Im offering you a simple invitation to dinner. You are beautiful. Lottie adjusted the flow of Candys wedding dress as she mounted the steps. Im not asking that you forget everything thats happened between us, but can you find some understanding and perhaps a little forgiveness? Jonathan Bolt had had nothing to do with who Aaron Stempel was. We came close to losing everything., If you couldnt afford to lose the mountain, you shouldnt have bet it. Very cool idea, and I love your take on the characters -- Aaron especially! It scared him how good it felt. But Aaron would be fair game, all the more enjoyable because of his "porcupine" personality and intelligent stratagems. But neither of us has ever hated the other., A game? To have broken their betrothal could have caused a feud between our clans. Work Search: Ignoring the pain, he sidestepped, just barely avoiding Mustaches wild punch. She never made it back to her tribe.. Jason quickly headed toward the refreshment table, which just happened to be where Aaron had been hovering. The two men were close to the same age and size. And now thanks to your family, Im gonna have to start fighting them again., Has your life been so dreadful, lad, that you must strike out at those around you? What if one of the boys, or worse, Maddie reads it? She has a bit of an infatuation with him, you know. What would stop him from telling Jason the truth? And a thief. But Im afraid this mill doesnt meet with our expectations.. Other men needed the assistance of family. Whatever direction he was going to take, he had to take the first step today. Great! When youre ready to talk, Ill be there., Cmon, sweetheart, Lottie tugged on Aarons arm. Hed hoped Jason would volunteer the information he needed, but it looked like his brother was going to force him to ask. You had her journal, did you nae?, She didnt put any dates in it, Aaron admitted in a hoarse whisper. Aaron wanted to shriek. Tables were stacked with food until they looked near to collapse. He is to represent that the lodge in which he resides will be granted his protection. Is it because of that girls diary? Duncan pulled up a chair next to him. If he could stay on his feet he could possibly inflict enough damage to make the men tire of their game. Yes, I miss him. Prejudice of the kind the man had displayed couldnt be coddled, even if it did mean the loss of a huge contract. Oh, Lottie - she had a special place in his heart, although he didnt think hed ever find it in himself to tell her so. Practically shouted it in the middle of the camp. Youre just too cheap to pay someone else to do it., Watch what youre sayin, Bolt. Aaron raised the ax in a mock-threatening manner. They shared the blood of Jonathan Bolt. You knew that my father was your father. He seems to be a decent young man. Let me see the man he could be, if he let himself. "He had a horrible choice to make and no time in which to make it. Lottie He let his words die. Obediently, she raced down the street. Oh, Mr. Stempel wouldnt do anything to hurt you, Biddie defended. Seating herself again, Lottie took his hand in both of hers. None of the other loggers had approached him since his arrival before dawn; the scowl on his face warned them away. Find him on Twitter at @pdforan. He did the best he could., He made a pretty big mistake, didnt he?, Mistake? In the photograph, the bride looks happy. Were just supporting a member of the family. Thompsons the one who was wrong., Shes afraid that Mr. Stempel will hate her. Nearly as tall as Jason, Thompson cut a striking figure with the blue uniform stretched across his broad shoulders and sparkling gold buttons emphasizing the breadth of his chest. One would think he were the first man to ever father a child. Were on opposite The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour? Her name was Mirimanto., Duncan flushed and dropped his eyes. You want a piece of me? Immediately, Candy detached herself and hurried to Jeremys side. Then theres sweet, cute Jeremy, the one everyone wants to mother. Think thats really true? Jeremy?, Hands on his hips, Jeremy shook his downcast head. If you had a sister that no one had told you about, would you want to know about her?, She shifted, her alert eyes taking in every nuance of his expression. Duncan shifted uncomfortably in his chair. Once we got the girl to agree, we smuggled her away without Jonathans knowledge. Jason was the one who was good with words, not him. Well, I once told Aaron I wouldnt sell him controlling interest in one pine cone off our mountain. Jason tried to explain, now fighting off his own giggles. Are we ready, gentlemen?. Because Im the one who just found out. Jason Bolt intoned behind him. Lottie tugged on Jasons sleeve. I dont know anybody who deserves it more., Against violence in general, this time Jeremy couldnt help but agree. In no uncertain terms. Ill see, all right, Aaron grimaced, but with a tiny twinkle in his eyes. Jason sighed at their open, vulnerable expressions. Youre the ones who agreed to bet the mountain and you all agreed to the rules.. The unwavering love Joshua had taken for granted seemed to have been entirely missing from Stempels childhood. Theres nothing worse than being an outsider to your own family. Misty blue eyes lifted to his. Not good. Aaron erupted from his chair. It was wrong what we did. Duncan shook his head slowly. All right, Lottie, he exhaled. linh Sophie best woman linh. Aaron exchanged a charged glance with Jason. Our fathers own voice is telling us from the grave., Our father made a mistake. Nothing is going to stop us from being married, she affirmed. Jason winced at her choice of words, but Aaron didnt seem to notice. Ive had enough of that today. He started to get to his feet but he was just unsteady enough that she easily forced him back down. I hope yours doesnt., Oh, no, dont turn this back on me, Jason. He never showed the slightest interest in the fate of my mother or what my life might have been like. The clop of horses hooves caused him to slide off the path to the edge of the woods. With a wink at Uncle Duncan and a solemn nod to Aaron, Jason continued on his journey. What could I give her but more pain? Aaron probably wouldnt have liked the analogy but it resonated with Jason. Hes done nothing to deserve my lies. Handing a glass to each of them, he poured a liberal draught for all. And shed died only months before Aaron had confronted their father. Dont think you can destroy me. Keefe - best man. Seeing his reaction, Candy jabbed him in the ribs, then started to giggle herself. But keep it closed. Hed never been able to win against Jason and when hed gone up against Stempel, hed ended up looking the fool. I find the mill in Everett to be much better organized and prepared to handle a contract of this quantity., A bitter chuckle escaped Aaron. His brother. Even Jason looked a little pained by his intrusion. You should share it and some of your other stories here, too. About the wedding?, No! he rushed to assure her. So we pressured the girl to leave. The good humor faded from the generals face. Hesitantly, Jason accepted it. George Stempel guessed I was three but he didnt really know., Brow furrowed, Duncan stroked his beard thoughtfully. Josh realized with a shock that they were drawing a crowd. We have talked about the name our child will called now. Some glances held more than curiosity. Will the revelations from an old journal tear the town of Seattle apart? It would be my guess that Duncan, Joshua and Jeremy Bolt are also somewhere in this crowd of fine-looking revelers., Yes, they are. Jason turned to wave his uncle and brothers closer. I just dont understand. We're fighting on the same side of this war, Aaron. Jason parked his butt on the edge of the desk. With that in mind, and to celebrate the birth of Jason's daughter, and Jeremy, and Jemma's sons, Josh returns to Seattle to introduce his fiancee to his family. Theyd truly bested him this time. Jason snagged Lottie as soon as the church service ended. Harve held the struggling Billy against the wall. And theres no one else I trust enough. Many a long winter night, their father had entertained them with tales of his adventures in a wild new land. 2 quizzes and 20 trivia questions. Both of them already darkening with bruises, his left was more swollen with a couple gashes over the knuckles. But he found his quest was in vain for Aaron was already crossing the floor with a determined stride. This young womans voice demanded to be heard. Jasons voice faded as he led Thompson out of camp. Stepping closer, Jason bent to get a better look at this gift. No, you dont. Ive known the man almost fifteen years and he knows just about everything about the Bolts, but I have no idea if his mothers still alive or not. Of course, he hadnt been paying much attention to anything but one slim volume of a young womans life. What if he was offended? You dont want to claim me as a brother., It doesnt really matter if I want to or not. Taking the journal from the table, Jason took a step closer. "Hi Mark is Elizabeth around" Mark smiled "You seem awfully happy things must be going . I know she is. What would give you that idea, Lottie? Jason tried to grin. A girlfriend? Do nae misunderstand. I should have known hed tell everyone he knew as soon he found out. Giggling, she pulled him close and confided, So am I. I can hardly wait until were Mr. and Mrs. Bolt., May I escort you to church, soon-to-be Mrs. Bolt?, Candy took his proffered arm. You are who you are. Is Mr. Stempel inside?. He knew himself to be no great shakes as a cook nor did he enjoy cooking. Like coaxing a dog thats turned wild to accept food, Jason mused. Keep working like this and youre gonna drop like that tree., George, another of Reds few friends, carried over a pail of fresh water. She would know something was wrong as soon as she saw him, he realized. An HCTB correspondent shared the connection to this story with me. And Aaron Stempel? If that had been Bolts plan, hed won. More of the strife theyd lived through for years? Jon says he should have his own name, a strong name. He didnt know if he could explain. Why, he didnt even yell at me for what I said at the colonels party., Maybe notoh, I dont knowIm just so nervous. For ten years Ive fought those sneaking Indians, now you expect me to deal with one as if hes white?, Fought Indians, my Aunt Mabel, Lottie muttered. For everything they had that would never be his. The man couldnt even call him by his name. Yes, Amos Thompson. He intercepted the newlyweds just as they quit the dance floor, flushed and out of breath. A breathtaking gift, one hed never expected from Aaron. He grinned. He added another swallow to help it along, ignoring the tang of blood in his mouth. Was there anything he could point to and say, this is what I accomplished? He finally admitted it., All these years and you never said anything! Jason squalled. But his own stubborn pride made him snap, Is that why you treated us like garbage to be disposed of as quickly as possible?, Duncan tensed. To get to the steps where Candy was waiting, Jason had to pass through the church proper. A female scream wrenched everyone to their feet. What will happen to him? Quite a surprise. Jason straightened abruptly. Today he could only sigh. I waited to eat with you., Thank you, Uncle, Jason grinned as he ladled out the stew. Here, Uncle Duncan answered from the alcove. Good or bad. How much I love him? Only fifteen at the time of his fathers death, hed just begun to ponder the possibility that his father could make mistakes. Yet he craved the knowledge. You know, I think it might be the only thing Aaron still has that belonged to her, Jason mused as he swiveled the slim volume in front of his face. It was all right there in our fathers journal., In Fathers handwriting? Jeremy snorted in derision. Hardly a bairn., Aye, but still young to take on the responsibilities of a family.. My mother never let it out of her sight untilshe died., Our father made this? Jeremy whispered, a catch in his voice. I tried once and what did it get me? Physically, that is., It wasnt my fault! Josh burst. And now he had a long walk ahead of him to get back home again. Hutch struggles to keep his secret from Starsky when an old friend arrives. Wearing one of his big-city suits, Stempel might be freshly shaved and neatly groomed but he didnt look much improved over the way he had right after the beating. What if Aaron didnt understand? They were married just hours ago., Splendid. Together they remembered when theyd salted Candys grandfathers mine to help fulfill what they thought were a dying mans dreams. You think hes still mad?, Who knows? Palms against the back of his chair, Jason leaned heavily forward. When I was an adolescent HCTB fan, I conceived of a story regarding Duncan and a secret marriage to a woman his father would not approve of - and a resulting Bolt cousin who had to prove his parents' marriage and his claim to Kilmaron.
