A quick chapter before work :)

Chapter 99

The party was held on the front lawn in honor of Midsummer's. The traditional pole was raised, festooned with flowers and ribbons. Tables had been set up, the servants setting them with cloth and tablewear.

Bridget observed the scene, frowning. Father wants to announce my engagement today. I dread this, I do not like Simon at all, he worries me. He is too arrogant for his own good, and I do not like how he hovers about his bodyguard, Vagn, she mused.

"There you are, sister. Are you eager to see Simon? I hope I can court a woman soon", said Sean.

"Aye, I am very glad also, Sean", she said dryly.

"Good, but Father wants to announce the engagement. And I cannot wait to see Sonja", he said dreamily.

"So you have an eye for the laides, eh Sean? I understand, Sonja is a lovely girl", she chuckled.

Just then, a carriage pulled into the courtyard. It was similar to their own carriage, but with the coat of arms of the Jansen family, another of their father's partners.

The footmen opened the dor and a lovely young woman stepped out. She was tiny and delicate, her golden hair swept bck into an elegant upsweep. She wore an icy blue dress, accentuataing her surprisingly adult body.

Her blue eyes gazed upon him, as she flirtaciously lifted her fan, peeking out from behind it. "Hello, Sean. Lovely day, isn't it?", she giggled.

Sean blushed deep red, a shy smile on his face. "Uh, hello, Sonja. Very glad to see you again, he mumbled.

Sonja giggled. "Sean, let us go walk in the garden", she said, taking him by the hand.

Bridget chuckled at her brother's discomfiture. Her eyes widened when she saw Dave. He was dressed in tight black breeches, a white shirt and a red embroidered jacket, his long red hair falling past his shoulders.

"Who was the hot chick with Sean? He was redder than a tomato", he joked.

"That was Sonja, he fancies here. You look very nice, Dave", she whispered.

"Thanks, you look good enough to eat, baby", he drawled, as she blushed. Bridget wore a deep wine-colored silk gown with a low-cut bodice. The deep color contrasted with her fair skin, the low-cut top revealing her full breasts. Her dark hair was pulled back into a knot, a few loose curls framing her face.

"Baby, you look gorgeous. But you'd look even better naked", he whispered, a gleam in his eyes.

Bridget flushed pink. "I remember, Dave. Father wants to announce my bethrothal at the party. I am dreading this very much", she whispered.

"I know, Simon is an asshole. He'd better not hurt you, I don't like how he hangs with that meathead of a bodyguard. If I didn't know better, I'd think they were gay", he muttered.

"I know, it makes me uncomfortable", she shuddered.

"He'd better not hurt you, asshole", he vowed.

Dave is sooooo funny. :lol: I love how he told Bridget that she'd look even better naked.
I thought that her hair and wine colored gown sounded quite beautiful, but then again I don't dig naked chicks. :lol:
I also liked "meathead" I had a friend who's Dad used to say that.

Poor Bridget. It sucks that she must announce the engagement.

Oh man Dave is funny 'you'd look better naked' - classy :) This party sounds rather posh - and like it could end up being a lot of fun and excitement. Not to mention Sonja sounds like a total hottie, no wonder Sean is turning red :)

And Dave getting all possessive - this could hot up :)

Chapter 100

Dave nursed a glass of punch, standing off to the side. He observed the party, a knot growing tighter in his belly. At the dinner, her dad is going to announce her engagement, and I can't do a damn thing, he thought, taking a deep breath.

"Herr Mustaine, what is the matter?", asked Leif, his eyes wide.

"Nothing Junior, just some dust in my eye. There's plenty of hot chicks here, why don't you try to get laid?", he cracked.

"I do not see any chickens here", he said, puzzled.

"You know, girls. I keep forgetting you're not an American, Junior. Go find yourself a woman", he chuckled.

"I do not have a woman, Herr Mustaine. I do not have enough coin to court a woman", he said earnestly.

"That sucks, neither do I ", he muttered under his breath. "You know, you look a lot like Junior, Leif. My partner's name is David Ellefson, and he looks a lot like you", he said, gazing critically at him.

"This Ellefson fellow must be kin. My sister is married to a man named Ellefson", he said, pointing to a couple.

The woman was in her early twenties and pregnant, with the same blond hair and hazel eyes as Leif. Her husband was enormous, tall and stout with strong muscled arms and legs, brown hair framing a beefy, red face. Next to them were a boy and girl, about four or five years old, with blond hair and hazel eyes.

"So that's where Junior got his looks. Lucky he doesn't look like that guy", he joked.

"Herr Mustaine, that is my sister Rycca and her husband Frey, and my niece and nephew, Elin and Bjarni", he said proudly.

"Cool, I'm an uncle too. I got three sisters, and I sometimes babysit my nieces", he said, a sad smile on his lips. I hope my nieces and all right, he thought, frowning.

"Ja, I have twelve nephews and nieces so far. I am one of ten siblings, and the youngest here. Our youngest brother Jens is in Scotland", he said.

That's Daniel's partner. Does everyone in his family look like Junior?, he wondered.

"How many people in your family, Junior?", he asked curiously.

"There is Mama and Papa, and my siblings and their spouses and children. Let me see, that is about forty or so people", he calculated.

"Damn, you got a big family. I have three sisters, and four nieces", he said.

"Ja, I know a family that has twenty children. Ours is small", chuckled Leif.

Dave smiled wanly at him. The idea of Bridget having that many children made him physically ill. I bet Simon gets her pregnant every year, that asshole. She's a woman, not a sow, he thought, frowning.

Just then, Lachlan cleared his throat, as everyone turned to look at them. "Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for coming to our Midsummer's party. My partner Thor Bergstrom and I would like to announce the engagement of our children, Simon Bergstrom and Bridget Mackenzie", he said, as the crowd cheered.

Dave felt ill, as though he had been punched in the gut. He let out the breath he'd been holding, his knees almost buckling under him.

Fuck, it's official. Now what?, he wondered, as tears stung his eyes.

Simon smiled triumphantly at the crowd, his hand possesively on his waist, as his bodyguard Vagn looked on impassively. Bridget felt numb at her father's words. It is final, there is no turning back. I do not want Simon. I love you, Dave, she thought, as a solitary tear fell from her eyes, but no one noticed.

Poor, poor, Dave. I really feel for him. Poor guy. He's not all that bad. I agree with this statement

Having like 20 kids is just wrong. At least I think it is. I hope that he can get her away from Simon. Maybe they can sneak off in the night?? It would be extremely romantic.
I'm eager to find out where you'll go with this. I'm sure that it will rock. :horns:

But poor Dave and Bridget :( ... Now when it's official it'll be even harder for them to be together :( But I hope Dave will follow Kirk's advice and won't give up... Maybe there's some way for them... I can't wait to see!
And it was so sweet when Dave worried about his nieces :)

Chapter 101

"Lars, why do you want us to go into the woods?", asked Violet.

"There's an older woman there, I swear she looks like she could be your mom. She looks just like you", he said.

"Lars, are you sure? Why would my mother leave us and go all the way back to Norway? 'Tis very far for a woman alone", she replied.

Lars said nothing, but led her to the cottage in the woods. Tarja was outside, weeding her garden, when she noticed them. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Violet, her lips parted. "Kaykaa sisaan", she said, leading them inside the house.

Tarja poured them each a cup of tea, then stared directly at Violet. Lars was right; the resemblance between the two women was astonishing. Tarja was older and had gray eyes, but the resemblance was unmistakeable.

"Are you my daughter, Violet?", she asked, speaking English with a heavy Finnish accent.

"Mother, is that you? But how, and why?", she murmured, the shock still in her voice.

"Master Ulrich, thank you for bringing me my daughter. Violet, it is a long story", she said

"You see, my father was a trader from Turku, Finland. He moved us to Aberdeen when I was a young girl. Your father was studying at the university there. We met and fell in love, but my father did not approve. My father was a rich merchant, and your father was the healer of Clan Mackenzie. My father did not think he was appropriate for me.

I became pregnant, and your father and I fled back to the clan's lands. There I gave birth to you. We were happy, but my father came. The laird had to give me back, as we were not wed.

Before we parted, I gave your father a blue pendant. My father's mother was reputed to be a witch, and the necklace is a family heirloom. You were to receive it when you left Mackenzie lands", she said.

"So the old far knew. So Violet, this means both your parents have psychic powers. Wow", he said in awe.

"You must bring the rest of the group here, along with Master Mustaine. I must show them something important", said Tarja.

"So did you send Mustaine here too? What about that hippie chick?", asked Lars, puzzled.

"That hippie woman must be a link between your time and ours. Perhaps she was a powerful witch as well", she mused aloud.

"Yeah, there's witches in our time as well, but most of them aren't really witches. They just say that to freak people out. Stupid Dave, always thinking with his dick", he chuckled.

"But why was he sent back as well? There must be a reason, God's will is not enough. There has to be something bigger than this", said Violet thoughtfully.

I can't wait to see how this is going to pan out. It's very mysterious indeed, and I'm very much wondering about who this modern hippie chick is.
I wonder why they were all sent back.

You're a great writer with a badass imagination to come up with this. There are so many different twists and turns, and it's the stuff like that which keeps the reader coming back for more!! :horns:

Thanks Ashley :blush: Some people say I have an overactive imagination, this is what happens when you read too much and don't have a sex life :wink Warning, the chapter contains questionable content.

Chapter 102

"So Ulrich, this crazy old chick wants to see me? Maybe I'll get some answers out of this", grumbled Dave.

"Dude, don't speak about Tarja like that. She's got real powers, and she might get pissed at you. Be on your best behavior", warned Cliff.

Dave felt a shiver of apprehension go down his spine. This feels weird, like some fucked-up version of Fantasy Island. All we need is Tattoo, he thought sardonically.

Tarja stood in the doorway. She wordlessly led the group into her house, putting the kettle on the stove.

"Good, you have all come and you brought along Master Mustaine.", she said, pouring them each a cup of tea.

Dave looked into his cup, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. I got a strange feeling about all this. I hope this isn't anything bad, he mused.

Tarja swept the cloth off the crystal ball, as she faced them all. She cleared her throat, murmuring the incantation. The mists parted, as the scene slowly came into focus:

James and Lars were in a hotel suite, along with several groupies. They were all drinking and snorting cocaine, laughing uproariously.

"Hey baby, why don't you suck James' dick, and I fuck you?", giggled Lars, obviously high.

The girl gazed at him with wide reddish eyes, snorting a line of coke. She then followed his instructions, as the other girl giggled drunkedly.

"Now it's your turn, baby", drawled James, swigging from a bottle of scotch.

"Uh, I don't know James", she slurred, obviously intoxicated.

James growled with anger, and slapped her hard. Lars just grinned as he forced himself on the intoxicated woman.


Both James and Lars were shaking when they saw the vision. "What the fuck? That was us? But we've never done cocaine or gotten that fucked up. What the fuck?", muttered James.

Tarja wordlessly tapped the crystal ball, the mists reappering, then parting again:

Dave sat on the edge of his bed in his apartment. He had a needle in his hand, filling it with freshly-cooked heroin. He tied the tourniquet around his arm, and inserted the needle into the vein.

He sighed with pleasure as the drug entered his system, a blissful smile on his lips. Suddenly, he began to twitch uncontrollably, his eyes rolling back in his head. His mouth was open, but the only sound that came out was a gurgle.

Just then, the door burst open and Junior barged in. He cradled Dave's head in his lap, as he reached for the phone and dialed 911.

"Help my friend, I think he O'd. Please send an ambulance", he cried.

David continued to hold his head in his lap, rocking back and forth. "Dave, you're going to be all right. Just hang, buddy", he murmured.

Several minutes later, the paramedics arrived, taking him out on a stretcher, and speeding towards the hospital.


"What the fuck? Dave, were you doing heroin?", asked Lars accusingly.

Dave hung his head in shame. "Yeah, I did it a few times. I've only been using for several weeks, though. I'd never get Junior hooked on that shit, though", he mumbled.

"Fuck, you O'd. That's pretty bad. So Tarja, if we had stayed in 1985, all this bad shit would've happened?", asked Kirk.

"Yes, Master Hammett. That is why you were sent back, otherwise you would have ended up like that'', she replied.

"But there must be something else as well. Tarja, are you a witch?", asked Cliff.

"My mother had powers. I did bring you back for your own good. And Lars, you have made my daughter very happy. I shall want to see my granddaughter", she chuckled.

That chapter was awesome. This story is coming together nicely. The one thing that I still wonder is what do the present day people think happened to Metallica and Dave since they don't seem to be around anymore. Did they ever exist in the first place?

This story gets better and better. I am very happy that you have an overactive imagination. It makes good reading for me. :dance

Chapter 103

Dave lay back in his cot that night, his mind reeling from the visions. I can't believe it, if I had stayed, I would've O'd? Did I make it, or am I supposed to be dead?, he wondered.

He had an image of himself lying in a coffin at the funeral parlor. His mother, his sisters and their families, his friends and bandmates were seated in the pews, as the priest read the eulogy. His mother dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief, as his nieces looked on, bewildered. His sisters cried openly, as Junior tried to comfort them.

Dave touched his cheek, surprised to feel the tears on his fingertips. Fuck, I was dead, and I totally fucked up. Mom, Junior, everyone misses me. If we ever do get back, I'm never touching that stuff again, he vowed.

He got up from his cot, making sure the coast was clear. Dave quickly made his way out of the house and over to the meadow.

Bridget was waiting fro him there. She was clad in a long white dress, her hair loose and flowing, crowned with a wreath of white roses. She looked like a bride, waiting for her husband.

"Dave, are you all right?", she asked, concern in her blue eyes.

He sighed, taking a deep breath. He then told her of the vision in the crystal ball, his voice shaking with fright.

"My goodness, how terrible. So you are from the future? I had thought you were joking. So Tarja sent you back, so you would live?", she asked.

"Yeah, it looks like it. I can't believe I got that fucked up. Man, I fucking O'd, and I'm not sure if I made it or not. That is so fucked", he murmured, his head in his hands.

He looked up, a deep sadness in his hazel eyes. "Bridget, I come from a very fucked up family. You see, my dad was an alcoholic who beat up my mother and us kids. He left us when I was a kid, and Mom had to take two jobs to support us all. My sisters got married to get out of the house, one of my brothers-in-law beat me up for listening to Judas Priest", he said.

Dave then told her everything from living on his own, to being fired from Metallica, to his drug use. He looked away, tears in his eyes, as though he expected her to be disgusted.

Bridget embraced him, kissing his cheek. "Dave, that is terrible. Yes, you have done bad things, but you are not a bad person. Your father was an evil man, but you obviously love your family. I have seen you with Annaly and the other children, you are not a cruel man, there is much goodness in you. Dave, I forgive you", she murmured.

He smiled tentatively at her, making him appear boyish. "Thank you, Bridget. I thought you'd run away. I mean, you've never heard anything like that before. Thanks a lot", he whispered.

"Dave, je 't amie", she whispered.

"Je t' amie, Bridget", he replied, kissing her lips.

I loved how Dave opened up to Bridget about his past. It was very very sweet.
I hope that she can help him come to terms with everything. They seem very good together, but I know that Simon is still lurking about. :angry I can't wait to see what will happen next.
