Chapter 11 The Nost

"Three more days"

I woke up and looked around but the only wolves close were out of earshot. Yet, I could hear them.

"Three more days until we reach base"

"Yes!"

"I can't wait, my feet are killing me"

I was astounded. I tried to wake up Moge but he wouldn't wake up! After a while I bit his ear. He woke up to that. Moge eased back.

"What's the matter" he asked.

I said, "Can you hear those wolves over there"

"No"

"Seriously ? !"

"Yeah, I can't hear them . . . whats the big deal?"

"Tell me the story of the Nost again"

"What?"

"Just do it"

So, Moge told me. The answer hit me right away but I waited for Moge to figure it out. Moge thought about it . . . and thought about it. Then his eyes lit up.

"You don't think . . . do you ?"

"YES . . . I think I do"

"They're searching for the wolf who has the power"

"I know . . . that scares me"

"We mustn't let them find out . . . or . . . or . . . or . . . we don't know what will happen"

"Moge, all we've got to do is act natural . . . we better try to get some more sleep"

"I feel that's the only reason that we're still alive . . . the sleep"

I had a dream then. I dreamed of a family. I saw me, a she wolf and several cubs. I wondered "Is this the power of the Nost?" I kept on dreaming. It turned dark and it was blurred.
