Chapter 9 The secret

I slept in a non-sleep on the sled. I dreamed of Clara, and Bran. I also dreamed of Moge. I dreamed of a happy event but couldn't really make it out. One of the Balkas would come over and make sure I was awake but it was like being awake but not. I saw images flash through my brain.



This was the scariest thing that had ever happened in my life, so I just figured my body was trying to escape reality. The sled came to a stop. I opened my eyes and the dream images faded. We were just camping again. Skart came up and said,



"Get up whelp"



I tried to get up but I was still so tired. I swayed but did as I was told. We walked over to Hark.

Hark asked, "You know that question you asked a few days ago ?" I nodded. "Now I can give you the answer. The reason we captured you is because we are looking for the one that was born this year who can control the Nost"

I said, "That's impossible. It's just an old story"

"No, it's not! Our leader Stella controls the power. She is looking for another wolf to stand at her side and help her"

"After the rude hospitality I've received, it would be amazing if anyone helped her"

"We need to keep you weak so that you can not run away or fight back"

"Nothing can make a wolf weak and you should know that"

"Oh . . . but we have ways"

I gulped.

"Take back the captive. I want him weaker than ever"

I growled as two wolves lead me back to the sled. They made me lay down and soon enough I was asleep again in the restless sleep.
