Legend Of The Black Dove (Part 3)

"Outlaw Peril"

As the coach approaches, the Black Dove grabs the under frame
Of the coach, with his amazing strength climbs on the driver's
Seat and brings the coach to a halt by pulling the reins.
He turns the coach back to where Rex Murphy is standing
And continue their journey. Hours later they stop to rest at the
Golden Anchor - a tavern in the coastal town of Southerly.

It is getting dark and they manage to get a room to spend the night.
It is a peaceful town overlooking the sea. Everything seemed to be
Quiet as Rex Murphy secures the Golden Coach for the night, but in
Darkness Jack Wild and his men had followed the coach and plan to Steal it while the town is asleep. The Black Dove and Rex were
Ready to turn in for the night when they are startled by a woman's

Scream. In a flash the Black Dove is on the scene,and seeing a girl Being assaulted, he takes quick action and grabs the assailant and Overpowers him. The Man is then tied up and held prisoner in the Tavern. The girl seemed to be alright and tells The Black Dove
She is the publican's daughter and she was grabbed by this man

Who would not let her go. While this is going on, gunshots ring out And the Golden Coach appeared to be missing. The Black Dove notices The coach leaving the security compound along With three men Following the coach. The Dove and Murphy rush in pursuit of them
And a chase begins, the coach gathers speed and drives out of town.

Minutes later they all arrive at an abandoned gold mine. The Outlaws Unload the gold under fire and put it into a rail cart. Two of the Outlaws push the rail car down tracks into the mine, the remaining
Two men are holding off the Dove and Murphy, they run inside the
Mine to join Jack Wild and his accomplice. Rex and the Dove, rush in

After them in an attempt to rescue the gold but they come to grips With the Outlaws and a shot is fired which creates a cave-in in the Mine trapping all the men. Seconds later a rumble is heard from the Ground caused by an earth tremor. The Dove goes after Jack Wild who Intends to shoot the Black Dove with his pistol, but they both fall Into a large open pit of Stalagmites.

Will either man survive these sharpe limestone pinnacles?
Are the other men also doomed?...
Find out in the next exciting part...."The Imposter"

Hi Shadow. I kept my word and produced part 3 of my serial poem, I have actually written part 4 with the dramatic outcome, but it is under wraps till next month. I sometimes amaze myself with these story scripts, I guess it comes to watching those old serials from way back, I will continue this serial along with my normal poems, you may have noticed I formatted the story more like a poem than before, I will call this genre the Serial Poem,seeing they have no actual genre for this. I am so glad I delivered for you and the others, and I will keep using my inventiveness until the last part is completed. bouquet
