The Call... Open to all

[LittleSprite]

Rhannon was 8yrs old when her parnents took her with them on expadition.. she was pushing thru the branches and trees her mom had told her to run.. she could hear the men's screams as they died...She hid for some time before emerging from her hidding place MOMMY.. MOMMY?? DADDY??

Not hearing them or any other sounds Rhannon slowly moved back twards the camp and there she saw it bending over them eatting them.. she didnt know what drew its attention to her she didnt remember making any noise maybe it smelled her fear... She screamed and Ran..

Rhannon sat up in bed whew just the dream again... she was safe home in bed where she belonged. Rhannon is 26yrs old and stands 5ft 4in weghing around 120 to 125lbs. She has long blue black hair and dove gray eyes.

There is a small thin scar along her tempel and sevral more on her right sholder and back where it looked as tho a wolf had bitten down on her sholder and used it as a chew toy. In truth it had been a jaguar that had done it but hey...

Looking at the alarm clock on the head board she groaned when she saw the time it was only 2:00 am pulling the covers up over her head she tryed to go back to sleep.

The next morning on her way to work Rhannon wondered why she had the dream it had been over 6yrs sence she had had it last, and had hopped that ment she was finnaly moving on with her life and dealing with it, but for some reasion it was starting over again..

She knew what the doctors would say.. that she needed to go back to the sight where her parents were killed and she had been attacked and face the problem head on.... for once she was beginning to think they were right.. maybe it was time to go back there.. she would need to hire a guide and her parents journals as well as some equipment.

Getting to work she went in and talked to her boss, she had continued into her parents field of archeology and her boss Tomas Hamilton had been trying to convince her to finnish that particular dig sence she had started... well he was getting his wish.

Amara arrives...

Amara was running late, as usual, though it never seemed to matter. She’d been working for Tomas Hamilton and hoping she’d be going on a dig but after 2 years she’d all but given up hope. She dashed in and prepared to stop by his office and offer another lame excuse but saw Rhannon in there. Hopefully, Mr. Hamilton wouldn’t notice today and maybe today she’d get lucky and told she was going to accompany someone on a dig.

She’d gone to school forever and studied archeology and had yet to go on a single dig. She tried to slip past the door of his office and head to her desk. The corner had originally been a good idea, but now as she tried to sneak her small curvy body and thick read hair past her boss’s door she cursed her little desk. She hunched her 5 foot 4 inch self over as far as she could, and scurried by the open door.

 

[LittleSprite]

One more thing Rhannon said before leaving the office, and smiled seeing the look on her boss's face he was like a kid at christmas who had gotten what he wanted most. I'd like to take Amara with me she's been in the office long enough and needs some dig time. she watched as her boss frowned but nodded his acceptance and waved her out the door as he turned to start preperations for their flight and gear.

Rhannon closed the door to the office on her way out and chuckled. Seeing Amara's curious look as she peeked around the corner Rhannon's smile got even bigger and she walked twards the other woman better get your gear dusted off hun your comming with me on a dig.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob Hamilton saw Amara trying to sneak by but didn't let on that he saw her. Beside Rhannon had already asked if she could take Amara
with her on the expedition, so there was no point in saying anything, beside. He didn't really mind it, she was a very good employ and he liked her.

He also didn't let on that he had planned on going himself. He had been away from the sights far to long and he started to miss it. He also was concerned somewhat about Rhannon and now Amara.

Robert Hamilton wasn't much older that Rhannon at the age of 36. he was 6' 4" at 195 lb. all the years he spent digging did him allot of
good, his body was well muscled and athletic, with black curly hair just below his shirt collar.

He had already all his gear packet but didn't really had time to tell Rhannon as yet.

"Hold it you two." He called out to both Rhannon and Amara. "I was going to tell you that I had decided to join you on the expedition.
Just didn't have a chance to tell you before."

 

[brokendarkone]

Excited

Amara jumped up and down in her excitement. She babbled on to herself more or less for a moment. Then she started gushing questions, "What will I need to bring? Where are we going? When do we leave? What are we studying?" When Rob Hamilton said he was going to it brought her back to being a little bit calmer though she so still beyond excited. She ran to her desk to call her mom, her D sized breast bouncing the whole way.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob was amused as he watch Amara fret up and down wondering what she should bring with her, and asking herself a while bunch of questions.

He stifled a laugh when she ran and her big breasts bounce up and down. She was rather a very pretty girl a little to big on chest as she was only about 5' 3" 4" maybe, but the rest of her was worth a second look.

By the way Amara is my brother Tomas treating you ok. If hi isn't you let me know and I'll have a talk with him. He said teasingly

 

[brokendarkone]

Amara laughed quietly while she waited for her mother to pick up the phone, after a quick conversation and a little squealing on both ends. She hung up, she sauntered over to Rob. "You my friend should learn to keep quiet when a girl is on the phone to her mother. As far as Tomas goes we could stand to have sex a little more often and he could work on fulfilling a few of my fantasies but other than that we are fine."

She looked at Rhannon, "So what time is the flight?"

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob didn't move from were he stood as Amara talked on the phone to her mother. Rhannon had gone to talk to Tomas again about the sight that they were going to. He got a bit of a dirty look from Amara as he was talking while she was on the phone with her mother. He just smiled.

"You my friend should learn to keep quiet when a girl is on the phone to her mother. As far as Tomas goes we could stand to have sex a little more often and he could work on fulfilling a few of my fantasies but other than that we are fine."

He chuckled at Amara's comment. "I guess you've been hanging around with the wrong Hamilton Amara, if it's sex that you really like. Just let me know when you can't stand waiting fot it any longer". He teased with a soft laughter.

 

[LittleSprite]

Rhannon smiled hearing Rob's comments as he joined them. It would be good having him along, as he had been working dig sights longer than she had. In fact she was surprised that their boss hadnt had him head an expadition out to where her parents had died a long time ago.

Turning twards him as he got closer she grinned and said Glad to have you aboard know any good guides? I am planning on taking up where my parents left off In the Guatemalan highlands. I beleave it was a Mayan temple they were working on.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob took everything in with a good humor . He didn't get rattled much. He always believed that life was way to short, and one should enjoy it. I Rob's case it was to the fullest and if it was in the company of a woman or two, so much the better.

The truth of the matter was that it was his own idea to go along. He knew Tomas couldn't go, and being found of both Rhannon and Amara. He elected to go.

"Glad to have you aboard know any good guides? I am planning on taking up where my parents left off In the Guatemalan highlands. I believe it was a Mayan temple they were working on."

He smiled Rhannon's tease. "Rhannon you don't think for one minute that I would miss this chance do you? I mean come on girl. Being in the company of two gorgeous woman it's been my life's dream. He winked at her, there is if Amara ever decide what to bring with her. He laughed softly

 

[LittleSprite]

Rhannon laughed softly enjoying the easy banter between the two and knowing they would all get long great. The plane leaves at 5am tomorrow morning think you all can make it on time? she asked teasing them knowing that they would both make it just fine.

Looking at Amara she awncered her questions about what to bring, as far as ecentuals and gear and clothing.

Looking back at Rob she reolized that he was a decent looking fellow, but she had always been to focused on her work like now to really notice any of the men around her. Between that and being self conciouse about her scars she didnt really date much.

Rob i am not sure if we can bring a laptop with us i dont know how strong a the sattalite signal will be in that area so we will need to bring notebooks and such to record our findings ect. Tho when we get back were going to have to make sure to put it all on disc for safer keeping.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob was having a little fun with Amara, they actually never spoke to his each other, other than a Hi or morning greeting. He also was not in that office that often either. That didn't mean he hadn't noticed Amara or Rahnnon.

He always thought that there might be something between Amara and Tomas. Rhannon was a little distant with all men and could imagine why. She was not a lesbian that he was sure of. He wanted to ask her out a few times, but she always seam to get involved in to many things and was never around long enough.

That's a shame he thought. She's a very attractive woman, long back hair with a slightly blue sheen to it. and gray eyes that reminded him of a dove, and a little scar on her temple. Her loose clothing didn't do much to hide her athletic figure. her face had a very beautiful coloring and he didn't think she used any make up.

"Rob I am not sure if we can bring a laptop with us I don't know how strong the satellite signal will be in that area so we will need to bring notebooks and such to record our findings ect. Tho when we get back were going to have to make sure to put it all on disc for safer keeping."

"I got both items covered Rhannon. I've packed a few notebooks and I'm bringing my laptop with a couple spare batteries."

 

[brokendarkone]

Amara smiled quietly to herself as she listened to the others talk back and forth. She made a mental list to get the things Rhannon was telling her to grab. She was so excited she was actually going on a dig. She couldn't wait to discuss at length with both her mother and Tomas.

She debated leaving now and going to pick things up. She new there was some stuff she wouldn't have at home that she would need. But instead she headed over to her desk to finish up some things and to hand off some of the artifacts she'd been reviewing. She could still leave early but everything should be fine.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob was looking forward to the trip, it had been a long time since his last one, and he also wanted to watch out for the two women. Amara was also new to the digging and she could use the help. She was very good at writing things down if the satellite was not available.

Rhannon was one of the best. She could do what she does best without having to look over Amara's shoulder. Rob could help them both when ever they needed, and look after some of the equipment that they might have to acquire.

 

[LittleSprite]

Rhannon smiled glad that Rob had extra batterys for the laptop and would make sure everything was in order. She left the office shortly after speaking with them to make sure her own gear, and tools were ready, 5 am was going to come around fast.

Rhannon tossed and turned again that night and woke up again around 2 am deciding there wasnt much point in going back to sleep she grabbed a quick bite to eat, and then went to the bathroom and showered. Taking her time and enjoying it simply because it would be at least a month or two before she got the chance to take another one, and it also helped to ease those damned nightmares.

The rest of the time they would be washing and bathing in the river near by the dig that her parents journal mentioned. Shutting off the water Rhannon stepped out and got dressed pulling her hair back into a long braid after brushing it out. She was going to have to remember to give Rob the Journal sence he was going to be their guide he may have need of it.

She wore a tan colored pair of kaky shorts belted at the waist a dark brown tanktop with what most ppl call a tan colored fishermans vest, but she found works great on a dig for carring tools, and other items because of all the pockets, and of corse hiking boots. Most of the rest of her clothing were simalar in style and color. She had also added a few pairs of pants and a rain coat just incase.

Looking at the clock she noticed it was now 3 am. Walking out to the living room she picked up her pack from the corner where she had placed it after making sure it was packed and picked up her tool case, and a large tackle box she had prepared as a first aid kit for emergency purposes.

Heading out the door she made sure to lock up the house and then loaded up the car. It would take her an hour and a half to get to the airport from where she lived so she should arrive around 4:30 or a little after. Which would give her time to get her things checked in and see if the others had arrived yet.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob made a list of everything that he felt they needed on this trip. He than checked every single item as he had them spread out on the floor. He completed that task than packed everything in one case, than went over his personal list making sure he had enough underwear and sox, so he didn't have to spend time doing wash. He couldn't stand wearing footwear without sox.

He listed shirts, one pair of long pants just in case it got cool, shorts, shoes and three bars of soap. He than decided to take one pair of hiking boots and a pair of runners, plus the ones he would be wearing in the morning. His laptop and note books where in the laptop case. his camera was always ready as he wouldn't never just put it away after he used it. He looked at the time and it was just before midnight.

His thoughts turned to Rhannon. He really didn't know why she just popped into his mind. Although he saw her often when they were back home, he never asked her out. He wondered why he didn't. He liked her more than any other woman he went out with. He smiled to himself picturing the expression on her face if he did asked her out. "I guess there's only one way to find out. I'll have to ask her."

He finished packing everything and put them by the door. By the time he took a shower and got ready for bed it was 1 am . Rob was an early riser but he still set the alarm just in case.

Rob took a cab to the airport as he lived just 20 minutes away. The cab got there as Rhannon was going through the door. He loaded his bags on a pull cart and went after Rhannon. He made it just before a group got right behind Rhannon.

"We should stop meeting like this or people with talk." He said softly into her ear.

 

[LittleSprite]

Rhannon jumped hearing some one whisper in her ear she hadnt seen Rob come in. Reolizing who it was she smiled. You scared me for a moment there... and your right but then if we didnt meet like this we wouldnt get much work done would we?.. she asked teasingly as she walked with him to have their luggage taged and loaded onto the plane.

 

[Cobra2004]

You scared me for a moment there... and your right but then if we didn't meet like this we wouldn't get much work done would we?.. she asked teasingly.

Rob thought for a moment about what she just said, and wondered if there was a message in the there. They were both
a little early, so why not try and find out if there was one. After the luggage's where gone he asked her.

"Rhannon seem that were here early and Amara is not here yet. How about having a coffee together. I don't think I remember ever
having a coffee with you.

 

[LittleSprite]

Rhannon smiled as Rob asked her if she would like to have coffee. She couldnt remember the last time she had gone out and shared a cup with anyone, and this would be the first time she and Rob had ever actually sat down and had a chance to get to know one another.

Yea that would be great i'd love some, and we've got some time to kill before boarding, So what do you do aside from work? She asked walking with him to the air port lobby to place there orders.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob took a deep breath when Rhannon agreed to have coffee together. She almost looked pleased to be with him even if it was for coffee. Perhaps now was a good time to really get to know each other.

He smiled at her. "I don't really do all that much. I do allot of freelance photography beside writing some articles on archeology. That's one reason why I'm not around all that much. That's something I would like to change, it would nice to be around more often." He looked into her eyes when he said that.

"Rhannon I never see you out with anyone and I'm sorry if I'm prying, I don't mean to. I've wanted to say this foe a while now, but things seam to get in the way every time. I would love to see you outside work if it's ok with you. I'm now sure this was the right time to say that either."
He looked at the surprise on her face as he thought.

 

[LittleSprite]

Rhannon was surprised and glad that he was interested in her. She had liked him too from what she knew of him around the office and when they had travled together before. She had seen some of his photos and articals and had often read them.

I would like to go out with you, and get to know you more..but i have to be honest up front and warn you. Your right on one point i am not sure this was the best time, but i am glad you asked.

The reasion i keep my self wrapped up in my work is because, when i was younger and my parents had been killed.. well i had been scared pretty badly on my sholder, and back.

Between that and nightmares most guys i've gone out with have simply left. she said not wanting to scare him off but letting him know that she would understand if he left her too in the end.

 

[Cobra2004]

Rob was waiting for Rahnnon to say she would think about it, but after her answer he let out a big breath of air.

Seeing that you said yes Rhannon. I think it was the right time, don't you think. He said smiling.

Rob never knew anything about what happen to her, and obviously she didn't tell Tomas about it either, or Tomas would've mention it to him. He looked at her little scar and wondered if that's when she got it. I'm sorry to hear that Rhannon I had no idea about any of this.

"Did you get this little scar then also." He asked as he ran his finger gently on her temple. "Maybe one day you let me see your shoulder. It doesn't seam to bother you Physically, or does it," he asked.

Once you get to know we Rhannon. You'll see I am not like most guys you've met.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Rhannon smiled softly as he traced her scar.. No i was eight when it happend. Which is the reasion for the nightmares i think.

It took a long time to heal, and the sholder tenses up once in awhile but other than that its just not pretty to look at is all. she said making as light of it as possable. She didnt remember much about it after the Jaguar attacked accept waking up in the hospitial and talking to the doctors..

She did remember that they were confused as to how she had survived when everyone else had been killed. Her personal theroy was that by the time it got to her it was full.

She didnt say any of this out loud how ever she smiled and took a drink of her coffee. Your right tho it is the right time... i need to start living again. she said putting her coffee down and taking his hand.

Seeing the time she knew they would be calling for them to board soon and she wondered where Amara was as she hadnt arrived yet.

 

[Cobra2004]

Somehow he sensed that Rhannon was very conscious of the scar she now had. She was a very lovely woman after all. Rob was not one who worried about those things. He looked into her eyes and somehow he saw her in a different light. He was actually very attracted to her

Rob covered her hand with his and leaned towards her, when she didn't move back he kissed her lips softly. The touch of her lips sent electric shocks through him. He saw her looking at the time and wondered if she was thinking what he was. Where was Amara. She should be here by now, they would boarding soon.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Finnishing her coffee Rhannon rose as the call for there flight to board came over the come. She looked around once again for Amara. Not seeing her she looked at Rob Well i guess all we can do is hope she makes the flight before it takes off.. If not we'll have to hire more crew once we land. she said she begain walking with him twards the metal detectors they would have to go threw before boarding.
