Yellowstone: The Train Station

 Anicka Perez Lansing's brother Benito mysteriously disappeared when he got a job as a hand on the Yellowstone Dutton ranch. But now it's been over a year and his family has not heard from him. he's disappeared without a trace.

Anicka made a bad marriage and  knew it after he beat her. She ran out in the middle of  the night with bare feet and her pregnant cat. Instead of sticking around for more, she returned home to her widowed mother. Her mother called the cops and it only took one look for the cop to realize how bad she'd been hurt. After he leaves, her mother takes her to the hospital to be examined to make sure she'll be all right.

The family huddles together to decide what to do. Her mother Paola and brother Ramon can support her for a few months, but both are shocked when she announces she is going to look for her beloved Benito.

His last known address was the Yellowstone so that is where she intends to start. She rides but not well enough to be a ranch hand. She can cook and muck stalls, that could -be enough to get her hired for something.

She can't wait soon to leave Texas and finds herself driving her father's old truck and heading up north. She had to leave her beloved cat behind, but her sister insists on giving her a half-grown German shepherd puppy to keep her company.

She gets to Montana and insinuates herself with the Duttons who offer a job mucking stalls. Soon, she hears about a mysterious place they call the "Train Station" and wonders if that is where her brother ended up. 

The Duttons seem to have accepted her, but she is cautious, using her fake names and telling no one who she really is. She has a phone she uses to call her family but keeps it hidden.

Something is coming, she can feel it, and wonders if it has anything to do with the mysterious 

Train Station.

 I originally wanted it to be a Ryan/OC story, but Travis made his presence known and took over.

 

Originally titled "The Ghost Girl Chronicles". If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room.

Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey.

The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around.

Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room.

Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to  kill little girls, and his sister Kit

 Coralee Dutton is the youngest daughter of John Dutton's older brother Benjamin. John inherited the ranch because he was a rancher while his brother wasn't. There are no hard feelings, Benjamin is happy with his life and he loves his brother.

His daughter is the farmer of the family. She also has been showing horses since she was young and has gotten quite good at it. She is at the ranch because John wishes to buy her a top quality horse to show and he's asked Travis Wheatley to pick some out  to show her.

Beth has always hated Coralee. Coralee is younger and prettier and resembles the tragic Elsa Dutton. She also does not have Beth's drinking problem and tries to stay out her way, drunk or sober.

Travis has had his eye on Coralee for a long time.  He wants to go out with her, hell, he wants to sleep with her but she means more to him. He's a playboy and a rogue and he knows it, but maybe he could change his ways if she just gave him a chance. He's older and feeling the need to settle down and Coralee could make him change his ways.

Readers: I know ranching, I know horses, I studied equine science. Our instructor used to hire us out to his friends to drive their cattle for them. I participated in a cattle drive celebrating the San Antonio trail. This made this story more fun to write

This does not fit into any particular season, except when Travis shows up. I think Taylor Sheridan is hot and I like the character he plays

Mary grew to love him, bearing him two children, but she is left unprotected when her husband dies of the sweating sickness for Henry has now tired of her.

 I don't like the kind of vampire story where they come and take over and enslave humans or whatever.  I like my vampires to live unbeknownst in the human world going about their lives and business. My vampires don't keep human slaves, though they might be in love with one!

For many years rumors have persisted that there are caches of gold, precious stones, and unguents that tomb robbers had dropped or hidden in their haste to escape the guards that watched over the Valley of the Kings. Roma Wilkes-Emberly thinks her father believes these rumors are true and is determined to find them.

Ardeth-Bey is the son of a sheikh of a Bedouin tribe that is friends with Wilkes-Emberly and his daughter Roma. Roma does not like Ardeth Bey, though she grew up with him, she finds him overconfident and arrogant. The fact that he is handsome only makes it worse.

Wilkes-Emberly has asked Ardeth for his help. He wishes him to accompany his daughter through the desert on a secret errand. Neither Ardeth or Roma are eager to do this, but her father is both evasive and persistent. Ardeth agrees, but on the condition that they will catch the boat at Minya for the remainder of the journey to Cairo. 

Roma knows that something is wrong and she suspects that they will be transporting something valuable and will be a target for thieves--or worse.

Yes, I am showing off my knowledge of archaeology, Egyptology, Valley of the Kings, and Egypt in general
