The Stand: The Lost Journey

Book One: Captain Trips June 16- July 4

�Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win�
-Crowded house

Chapter One June 17

Riverwind is the place to be, in Pearl Mississippi. To many people Traveling down thew nearby Interstate, it is nothing more than a place to rest. Many Businesses flourish in this part of Pearl including a Movie Theater, Cracker Barrel, and a Baskin Robbins; and on hot southern summer days like these, you need all the ice cream you can get.

�Can I get a double scoop of Vanilla,� A short woman with brown hair asked, �Sure,� Jeremy replied, he walked over and took a small cone out of it�s holder, and went to the Vanilla Ice Cream. The lights in the store reflected in his dark brown hair as he bent over to make the perfect scoop. When he finished with the scoop he walked back and handed the cone to the lady, with a hint of relief in his brown eyes. �Nicole did you ring her up?� Jeremy asked the dark headed Hazel eyed beauty at the register. She nodded her head yes. He smiled as he handed the cone to the lady who then turned to leave.

�God, Is that finally the last one?� Jeremy asked Nicole, �Yeah, I didn�t think we�d get them all. When that movie let�s out, I think they all want a scoop of Ice cream.� Jeremy leaned against the bar, tired from the large amount of customers that just passed through. It was the first time in twenty minutes he stopped and rested, he imagined the other eight people in the store felt the same.

�Jeremy, I don�t know what I am going to do.� Nicole said to him as he walked over to wipe off the counter. �Well He was a jerk Nicole, forget about him, I am sure your mom will understand.� �But Jeremy, my mom really liked Aaron.� Jeremy thought a moment, �Does your mom know?� Nicole looked at him startled, and nearly screamed �No, Why would I tell her that?� �She likes him Nicole, he did give you a black eye, and I personally think you should tell her, before I hurt that jerk!� Jeremy said defensively, �Your right� Nicole responded, �But I don�t see what the matter is anyway, I am not in love with him and I am not with him any more. Not to mention I like someone else.� Jeremy was taken back by this piece of Information, �Who?� He asked, �Like I�d ever tell,� Nicole responded with a laugh. �I know,� Jeremy said with a smile, �Daniel Huntings� Nicole laughed, �Looks like the Ice Cream has done gone to your head. �Uh-oh, Nicole said, �Another movie just got out.� �Back to Work� Jeremy replied.

Chapter 2: June 18

The cornfield smelled wonderful, Jeremy noticed this fact as he walked down the rows. �You be come�in soon now chile,� a voice in the distance said. �Who are you?� Jeremy yelled, �Mother Abigail Freemantle.� Suddenly the warmth of the cornfield was gone. He stood in fear as the smell transformed in to the smell of death, the corn too transformed, he was now surrounded by dead bodies. �The time is near,� a voice echoed. Jeremy was now running jumping over bodies, he tripped and fell catching himself just above the rotting corpse of, Nicole. The corpse opened her eyes, no longer hazel, but red glowing, �Your time is ending,� the corpse said and maggots fell out of her mouth, Jeremy started to scream.

Jeremy woke up screaming his heart was racing and he noticed rather unpleasantly that he was wet with sweat. His alarm went off, he jumped startled at the sudden appearance of music,
�Baby, can you dig your man?
He�s a righteous man,
Tell me baby can you dig your man?�
�Jeremy, calm down, it was just a dream� Jeremy said to himself. He then cut of the Alarm clock and went to take his morning shower.


�Nicole, what are your plans for this weekend?� Jeremy said as he sat down on Nicole�s couch, �I�m not sure, Jeremy, I was wondering if it would be ok if I stayed with you until my mom and your grandma returns from the business trip, I�m worried that Aaron may try to hurt me.� �Nicole, what makes you think that?� Jeremy said trying to make his voice sound calm, �He called me last night at three a.m. and said he was watching myself and he should have killed me when he had the chance,� Nicole said as she started sobbing. Jeremy walked over and wrapped his arms around her, �Come on let�s go get your stuff, I know Grandma will not mind you staying the two weeks, and I�m you�re your mom will not either, We�ll tell them when they call.� Jeremy said as he and Nicole went to pack her stuff.

They had just finished packing when a white Ford pulled into Nicole�s Driveway, the door opened revealing a tall boy with prominent ears. �Where the do you think your going?� Aaron said with hate flashing in his eyes, �You�re not going anywhere with that idiot.� Aaron walked over and pushed Jeremy onto the ground. Nicole in a sudden burst of protectiveness kicked Aaron in the *beep*; Aaron startled fell to his knees in obvious pain, �Come on Jeremy let�s go now,� Nicole said as she helped Jeremy up. They grabbed her stuff and ran to the car, as they drove off Aaron yelled, �Run You cow, Run with your little boyfriend, I�ll kick his butt right after I kick yours.�

One of the Neighbors noticed the commotion and called the police, they arrived to find an empty house with tire marks where Aaron spun a tire as he left.
