I disclaim all ownership of anything related to The Dark Tower or Stephen
King. The only thing owned by me is Jeff D. Thank you. The setting is
this. Roland now takes turns in Susannah's wheel chair Eddie and Jake have
become addicted to Roland's tobacco. Jake has become distant and finds
himself using the touch to get information instead of just asking. Roland
is keeping something from Jake locked in the back of his mind and he knows
it's about him. (He and him being Jake) They are several wheels away from
The Tower when they come upon a small encampment in (one more thing. This
is set about 5 years later. They ran cross a lot of trouble in the
doorways of the cave. Roland's pain is a lot more frequent and devastating
Jake has become a strong young man and Eddie has become weaker in body
Susannah is the same person she was .. And her son.. The demon child has
become part of the Ka-tet he always feels the affects of his demonic side.
HE is half demon but seems to be quiet normal in appearance the only
physical feature is his fangs. )
Roland sat back in the chair, Oy on his lap, as Eddie silently pushes him. Jake now almost 17 looks over at their new companion, a small boy. He was about five in human terms but looked at least seven in size and in mind. Eddie looked down at his. son? Whatever. Susannah crawled along beside him. Jake stopped suddenly causing everything to stop. His voice. somewhat cruel now coughs out one sentence. "Roland you want something?" Roland looks up. "Aye, I was going to ask if Susannah wanted to ride in the chair." Susannah shook her head. "No.. no I insist." She finally gave in and Roland screamed as he stood up. "Aah..." Eddie lifted her and put her down in it. Eddie hoisted the kid upon his shoulder. Jake without a word began to push Susannah the only one in this Ka-tet-other then Oy- he cared for. Oy rode in the pocket of his poncho. They took to a rocky course through the middle of the barren waist land called Thunderclap. He took a big, deep breath. He could sense something big coming. Susannah remained quiet as she balanced a stack of wood on her legs another bit hanging from the pockets of her chair. From everyone else's backpacks bulged wood... clearly they did not expect to come upon a wood or a forest. The child looked around from his fathers shoulder. somehow young as he was knew this man was only his father by the relation to his mother. he knew not exactly who was his father. he just knew his blood father was responsible for giving him those. Those 'fangs' as the older companions called them. Later that night they made camp Jake struck the fire silently rolled him a cigarette and then rolled one and handed it to Eddie. He sat down beside the part-human child and Susannah. Roland sat back looking through the flames to Jake... Jake who had picked up a large thing of copper two years ago and used it to make each fire they made green. They were running out too. Eddie had tried his best to explain how copper did this to fire but in the end it was Susannah who told him what he wanted to know. He began to wonder about Jake.. It was said that a boy would come along strong in the touch and one close to him would discover that he was a mage to rival Maerlyn. Roland had begun to wonder if Jake was this boy. He had been wondering it ever since the death of young Benny Slightman. Jake looked over to the east and he stopped as his gaze hit a speck of light in the air. "Susannah do you see that? 4 or 5 Wheels away?" She looked up. "Yes there seems to be a town nearby do you see that Roland? Eddie?" They both nodded and the child still not able to comprehend most of their talk just occupied himself by playing lightly with Oy. Oy had long since accepted the kid into the ka-tet. Roland took a look of his own and nodded. "Yeah, I have a feeling about that place. we make for there next. but .. Don't you see something else . closer Eddie?" Jake looked up.. He knew what it was. "A way station." Susannah looked over at him. "You sure sugah?" He nodded and then turned to Oy. Oy was now lying down and he looked up sensing Jakes gaze. "We'll be right back. Oy come." "'ack. Come" He imitated him perfectly and followed the seventeen year old past the emerald green fire and far off into a small hole some many meters away. There Jake did something he thought he would never do after Benny's death. He leaned into Oy's fur and just cried. "Ake." Oy said quietly as if comfortingly and allowed it.
