A Journal of my immortal life

Chapter 14 A Visit to My Old Hometown

Dear journal: Today I slipped out of the house when Black Hawk went shopping. I went for a drive something inside of me kept telling me to go to Fort Sumner New Mexico. New Mexico is a state that I haven't been back to in years. Well since I became immortal. So I listened to my heart and drove to Fort Sumner New Mexico.

I went to where I was shot down by Pat Garrett back in 1881. The maxwell place is gone now. In it's place is a stone that reads Henry McCarty alas William H Bonney alas Billy the Kid died here killed by sheriff Pat Garrett July 14th 1881.

After I left the place where the maxwell ranch had once stood. I drove to the graveyard at Fort Sumner. I parked my car on the side of the road across from the graveyard. I got out of my car and walked to the place where Tom O'Folliard and Charley Bowdre and I were buried. The only difference is that I am not in that grave.

I read the names on the headstone. I said a prayer for Tom and Charley. I stood there lost in my memories. Yes I had lost all track of time. I didn't even notice that it was starting to rain. I felt the rain falling on my shoulder.

And I knew that I had to leave the graveyard. After I left the graveyard and walked back to my car the rain was getting harder. I got soaking wet by the time that I made it back to my car.

I started my car and drove back to the Flamel house. I can hear Black Hawk now Billy you are on complete bedrest what do you think that you are doing? Just look at you you are all soaking wet.

When I made it back to the Flamel house and parked my car and locked it. I went inside the house and found Black Hawk there waiting for me.

He wasn't none too happy with me. At the moment he looked at me and said " Billy you get your butt up to your room and change your clothes you are soaking wet. " and what do you think that are doing leaving this house when you are on complete bedrest?"

I didn't answer Black Hawk back I just went up stairs to my  room and changed my clothes. I sat by my window and looked outside. Lost in my thoughts and memories.

Then Black Hawk came into my room and put his hand on my shoulder. And said Billy I am sorry for yelling at you like that. But when you go off like that and don't come home until after dark we get worried about you.

I know that you miss your past and the friends that you had in your past. But all of them are dead now and you don't know if Chavez is immortal or not. And Billy for your sake that he immortal.

You have new friends now and we love and care about you. Billy don't forget that.

Well I guess that Black Hawk is right. And Chavez if you read this story I hope that you are immortal.

This is Billy Bonney sighing off for now
