Chapter 54

Lars quickly got dressed, his heart pounding in anticipation. What does she have to show me?, he wondered, following her.

Violet led him to her father's chambers. She knocked on the door, as Kilwich let him in.

Instead of his usual trousers and robe, he wore a long silk gown, a wine-colored purple with silver trim. His long white beard gleamed in the candlelight, as did his beard.

In this guise, he resembled a wizard or a sorcerer, instead of the clan's healer. Lars felt a chill go down his spine. What's going on?, he thought.

"Lars, you must promise not to tell anyone about what you see here. The people in the village, bless them, they are conditioned to see this as evil, the devil's work. Do not tell a soul. Promise me", she said, violet eyes glowing with passion.

"I swear, Violet. I won't tell anyone", he vowed. And I won't, I love you, Violet, he thought.

Kilwich walked into a closet, retrieving a round bundle wrapped in a shimmering green cloth. He took off the cloth, revealing a large crystal ball.

He set it down on a stand, the shiny brass reflecting on the surface. Violet locked and barred the door, and rejoined them.

"This is the Clach Na Bratach. I look into it, and it shows me visions. I have yet to see a false vision", he said.

"Cool, you have a crystal ball. Fortune tellers have 'em", he said, wondering what all the fuss was about.

"Of course, Gypsies have them, but this is real. Father can see visions in it. The laird knows, but the villagers do not. The laird is not a fearful man, but if the peasants found out, there would be hell to pay", she chuckled bitterly.

"It has been passed down in my family for many generations. It is said to be a gift from the fairy people", said Kilwich.

He took a deep breath and muttered an incantation:

Ball of crystal
Of the all seeing orb
Part your mists
And grant me visions


The ball became less cloudy, as the glass became as clear as a window. "Wow", he murmured, obviously impressed.

The mists reappeared, and faded away, a scene coming into focus, as they peered closer. Lars was sitting on a large, cloth-covered chair in the parlor of a house. A box with a glass inside showed a sort of moving picture. A little girl with black wavy hair and vivid green eyes climbed onto his lap, as he hugged her.

"Daddy, I wanna see cartoons", she said.

"All right, anything for you, pumpkin", he chuckled, grabbing a long rectangular object and touching a button, as the glass changed to a brightly colored one.

Violet entered the room, a baby boy perched on her hip. "Lars, James just called. He wants to meet you tomorrow, it's a business thing", she said.

The baby smiled at his father, brilliant green eyes so like Lars'. "Hey little dude, wanna join us?", he asked.

The baby squealed, as Violet handed him his son. "I"m going to prepare supper. Be a good boy, Torben", she said, leaving the room.

The scene dissolved. Violet and Lars had surprised looks on their faces. We're married and have two beautiful children. And we're back in the future Hope swelled within him, an ecstatic smile on his face.

Violet was also stunned. What an odd room, and what was that box? And I have children? How wonderful, she mused.

"Violet, let's go back my room. There's something I really gotta tell you. Good night, sir", he said, leading her out the door.

Aha so the truth is slowly but surely beginning to come out here - awesome! This is certainly going to be interesting to explain, although Violet seems to understand about magic and whatnot so I guess she'll understand it... fabulous stuff!

That was really interesting
So they will go back to the future, if the vision was right.
I wonder what will happen next

Fuck yeah!!!! :horns:

I was wondering when the truth was going to come out! I loved the name Torben in this. I thought it was a nice touch for the kid.

I wonder how Violet will take it when she finds out that Lars is from a different time. This is getting really good. :dance

Chapter 55

Morag was seated on the bed, gazing at a book. She had found it in the pocket of Cliff's trousers. The book was like no other book she'd ever seen. It was quite small, the cover made of a shiny, thick paper.

Her eyes widened when she sat that it had over four hundred pages. The tiny print strained her eyes, as she lit another candle.

Morag closed the book, looking at the front cover. On the front was a picture of a serpent-like creature, green and scaly, its' glowing eyes reflected in the candlelight.

"The Cthulo Mythos, by Master HP Lovecraft. What sort of book is this?", she asked aloud, starting to read.

Morag was so engrossed in the book, that she didn't notice the door opening. "Morag, are you all right?", asked Cliff, walking over to her.

She looked up, green eyes wide. A dull flush crept up her cheeks, when she realized she'd spent the whole day reading.

"Cliff! I forgot everything, I didna make supper", she wailed, getting up.

"Morag, that's okay. We'll have dinner at the pub, my treat. So I see you found my Lovecraft book. I was looking for it", he chuckled.

"I was going to wash your trousers, but I found the book. I like it, very scary", she giggled, eyes dancing with mischief.

"Cool, not many girls like Lovecraft. And what did I tell you about doing chores? You have to rest, you need your strength for the baby", he chided gently.

"Cliff, that is so sweet of ye. When I was pregnant with Daisy, I still did a lot of chores, and I was tired all the time. I that is why Daisy was so weak", she whispered.

"Morag, don't worry. This is gonna be a healthy baby. After supper, we'll read it together. You can get as scared as you want, I'll be here to protect you", he boasted.

She giggled, kissing his cheek. "Aye, ye will do that, Cliff. But what if we scare the bairn?", she asked mischieviously.

"It'll toughen it up a little. I love scary stuff, been reading Lovecraft since I was a kid. Didn't hurt me any, look how I turned out", he joked, as they both laughed.

Awesome. Morag is sure a lot smarter than I am. I fell asleep after reading two paragraphs of Cthulo. :lol: :lol: :lol:
This fic is much better. :)

I wonder if the book may give Cliff away. For some dumb reason when I read the first sentance I thought she had found his checkbook and was going to go spend his money. :lol:

Chapter 56

"So Lars, you come from the future", said Violet. It was a statement, not a question.

"Yes Violet. Everything I told you is true. I hope we don't get burned for this", he chucked weakly.

Lars had led her back to his room and told her everything. Violet was surprised, shocked, appalled, and excited, all at once. The future sounds so marvelous. I want to see it, she mused.

"It sounds so weird, you walk through a stone circle, and end up two hundred fifty years in the past. If I didn't know better, I'd say Cliff spiked our drinks with acid", he cracked.

"Acid?", she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's this liquid, when you take it, you have visions and crap. Tried some once, but didn't care for it, I saw a lot of scary crap. Cliff liked to take it, he also smokes a lot of pot. You know hemp, marijuana", he explained.

"Some boys smoked hemp and got really ill. They were coughing a lot, giggling and their eyes were red. They also smelled terrible. How could anyone smoke that?", she asked, rolling her eyes.

"They smoked bad shit, wait 'til you smoke the good shit", he joked.

"Lars, in the future, what is the medicine like? Are people healthier or sicker? Do more babies live?", she asked.

"Yeah, doctors treat cancer with drugs and surgeons perform operations on the heart, brain, whatever. Hardly any babies die, unless they're really sick, and many people live to be old", he replied, seeing the wonder on her face.

"I would sell my soul to the devil himself to see that. Lars, I also assist the midwife, Annie. I have attended many births in the village on the farms. Many of the women are in terrible pain, and sometimes the babies die because they are too small or weak. In the future, these babies live?", she asked incredulously.

"Yes. That's a bummer, though. I think you'd make a great nurse, Violet. You love to help others, and kids like you. It must be a Virgo thing", he joked.

"Virgo? What is that?", she asked.

"You were born in September, right? We had a lot of fun that night. Anyway, you were born under the sign of Virgo, in the horoscope. Virgo represents the virgin. They love to help others, and they make great nurses, teachers, stuff like that. One of my aunts is a Virgo, she's a nurse at a children's hospital", he explained.

"You think so? And what is your life lie?", she asked.

"Like I said, my dad is Torben Ulrich and I was born in Denmark. My family moved to California when I was fourteen, that's where I met James. We formed Metallica and later on we added Cliff and Kirk. We were touring in Scotland, when we wound up here", he replied.

"How do you get back?", she asked, a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Violet, I'm taking you with me. I love you, I don't wanna leave you behind", he said, embracing her.

"Lars, did you say that? I love you too", she replied shyly.

"Hey, good to know. I guess we go back the same way we came in. Or wait until the sky is red and the moon is blue. But I wonder what the others will say? They're gonna want to bring their women with them", he mused aloud.

"Yes, and what shall you tell the laird? He knows about the Clach Na Bratach, but this may be going a bit far. My father, though, he might be more sympathetic. After all, he did show you the Clach", she replied.

"Yeah, we gotta speak to your dad", he murmured.

Violet took the news very well. I wonder what her Dad will say, and what the other girls will say.

Lars made me laugh when he said that they smoked the bad shit. :lol: :lol: Funny Lars.

I wonder if they all will go back, or if some of them will stay.

Since I'm feeling generous, here's another chapter for you guys :)

Chapter 57
Several Weeks Later

"Kirk, today's your big day. After all this crap, you guys are finally getting married", cracked James, clapping him on the back.

Kirk blushed, his dark eyes merry. "I know, finally. It felt strange having a chaperone everywhere, but the laird doesn't want me to compromise her. After all, a little waiting never hurt", he chuckled, adjusting his tie.

"Dude, you look fine. Mary's probably as nervous as you are", said Cliff.

"I want to look my best. This is a big wedding. I mean, it's in the castle, with his own priest and the everyone's invited. I hope I don't fuck this up", he muttered.

"You won't screw this up, Hamster. Just don't faint, and enjoy the reception, then you can fuck her brains out. Hopefully the entire castle won't hear you", joked Lars.

"Very funny, you little troll. Why don't you find Violet and get laid?", retorted James.

"Hey, she's with Mary, doing girly-girl shit. That's for after the ceremony", he joked, winking at them.


Meanwhile, Mary was preparing for the wedding herself. "Miss Mary, you look so beautiful. Kirk shall be pleased", said Elsbeth, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Yes, he will not be able to resist ye, I wouldna be surprised if he got a bairn in yer belly right away", giggled Morag.

"Morag, Mary is a lady. 'Tis rude to speak like that", admonished Jeanie.

"Jeanie, I do not mind. Your cousin has a point, I am looking forward to that as well", she chuckled.

"Miss Mary! Do not speak of such things", chided Elsbeth, shocked.

"Elsbeth, it is not as though Kirk and I only play guitar together. That was wonderful", she sighed, her cheeks pink.

"Well, he'd better not take your virtue then. The laird will be very disappointed in him", she admonished.

"Ladies, if you are done, I would like to speak to Mary", said Violet.

The women left the room, as Violet and Mary were left alone. "Mary, there are things you should know about the wedding night..."

Mary cut her off. "Please, Violet. I am still a virgin, I shall be able to vouch for that later. But I have been intimate with Kirk, but we did not do everything. It was wonderful, I cannot wait", she giggled.

Violet's eyes widened, her lips turned upwards in a smile. "Mary, you surprise me. So how was it?", she asked, her eyes dancing with mirth.

Mary's eyes became dreamy. "We lay nude and he kissed me all over. It felt so wonderful, is the rest as wonderful?", she sighed.

"Yes indeed. There will be a bit of pain at first, but then it is so wonderful. I would not be surprised if you did not leave the chambers for days", she giggled.

I agree with Maggie. That line was most funny indeed. I have seen people faint at weddings.
For some reason when I read this chaper I keep thinking of this old Irish song called She Moved Through the Fair. I think because it mentions wedding, and this takes place in Scotland which I guess is close to Ireland.


I'm glad that Mary has a good friend like Violet to educate her about the wedding night. :wink
