Chapter 20 Moge and the Nost

I sat down. What was going to happen to me now? How was I going to escape? I lay down. I couldn't sleep. I whined to myself. The echo bounced back. It whined and I whined louder. I whined till it was so loud I had to stop.

I rolled over and bumped the wall. I let my mind wander. I felt something. What was it? I dug deeper. I recognized it some how. It was very familiar but not. There were three of them. I recognized one of them. I-it was Moge! I reached into his mind.

Moge help me. They have me in some sort of chamber. They even hooded me so I can't tell what's happening or where I am. Please help me. I'm sensing I'm one floor below you.

OK we'll be right there.

I let out a snort of relief. I waited. I heard rock moving. Then I heard a sequel of terror. Immediately I shot out of my head and searched for the owner of the squeal. It was the white wolf. I looked through there eyes. There were no stairs! The eyes looked at Moge. Moge was looking down. Moge called out to me. All of a sudden there was a crack and the piece of rock that Moge was on slid into the hole.

I rushed back to my body. I sensed heat I walked over to it. I touched something. It was Moge. I reached for his mind.

Moge are you still there?

Yes little brother. Sorry I didn't protect you. Like I promised Dad what seems so long ago.

What?

Yeah Dad asked me to protect you. It was his last wish.

Oh, Moge I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I-I ... wish... I.....

It's OK. Sorry you can't even see me.

I felt so bad. How could I help Moge? There was nothing I could do. I was hooded and not even a year old. I felt for Moge's flesh against my paw. I touched him and stayed that way. Then I felt a hot glow. I started to feel tired again. All of a sudden I felt Moge move. He stood up.

H-how. But, how can you get back up.

It must be the Nost. Tuff you must of discovered another power level to the Nost. Hold still for a second. I'm going to try to bite through the rope.

I stood still. I felt Moge's teeth around my muzzle first. I felt a sharp pain as the rope was cut. Then he moved to the one at the neck of the bag. He cut that one to. The bag fell away. To reveal Moge.

"Moge" I croaked, "Moge, I missed you so much"

"I missed you to but how do we get back up do you suppose"

"Let me try with the Nost"

"What"

"Maybe it can move stuff also"

"OK, go ahead and try"

I reached with my mind. Trying to recreate the stairs. All of a sudden there was a scrape of stone and the stairs were there. I yipped with joy. I raced up the stairs but stopped as a sudden pain went up my legs.

I struggled the rest of the way up. When I reached it I saw the two wolves with my own eyes for the first time.

"Moge who are these two?"

"These are your brother and sister, Gart and Salka"

"What but I thought they died"

"They did too but Mom pulled them back at the last second. She was busy making an attachment to the den to get away. Mom's fast thinking saved them"

I looked at Gart and Salka. I shivered.

"Hi Gart, Hi Salka. Nice to see you again"

All of a sudden Salka the white wolf broke out.

"I missed you too Tuff' said Salka in a sweet cheery voice.

Me and Salka nuzzled. I looked at Gart. He stared back.

"Tuff" said Gart in a rough voice, "I-I really missed you. We didn't know what happened to you and Moge. After we were brought to the cave we meet Moge. When we realised it was him. We bombarded him with questions. He told us the whole story. You have been through alot"

"I missed you to. Oh we better get going before we get caught"

"Yeah" they all agreed.

"I'll lead" said Moge.

So we all followed Moge out. When we got outside it was still cold.

"What is this stuff Moge" I asked.

"It's called snow"

"Oh"

We ran on. Out of the sight of the mountain. But soon we found out we were being followed.
