Chapter 2: Mark My Words
"How could this happen?" Thomas said while holding the stone in his hand. Kodi glared at Thomas. "You're the one who wanted to go down there!" Kodi shouted. "What would you do?!" Thomas shouted back. Kodi walked over to Thomas and got into his face. "I would have stayed out of it!" Kodi snraled. Thomas shook his head as Kodi walked over by the couch and laid down. "And what am I supposed to do about you? You talk now," Thomas said still sitting up against the front door. "Not my problem," Kodi answered now laying down his head on his front paws. Thomas shook his head. "Great! Just great! I have a talking dog and a Native American magic stone. Kodi laughed. "What so funny?" Thomas asked. "You are. Think about it! A talking dog that you have. If I was a human I sure would like to have one," Kodi said with another laugh. "Whatever man," Thomas said he stood up and walked over to his laptop.
"What are you doing?" Kodi asked now looking up at Thomas. Thomas opened his laptop and started searching. "I'm going to find out about these stones. Maybe there will be something on how to turn your voice off." Thomas said with a chuckle. Kodi growled. "Rude much," Kodi said laying down his head again. "Calm down I was just kidding," Thomas while typing. "You know I didn't ask for this. I had a great life in Nome and was about to settle down with someone I truly care about," Kodi snapped. "And I didn't need to ask to have my dad buy me a dog," Thomas snapped back. Kodi opened his mouth to say something but nothing came. Kodi shuts his mouth and looks away from Thomas. "If you don't mind me asking. Who is this someone you truly care?" Thomas asked kindly. "That's none of your business," Kodi said in a low depressed tone.
"Fine," Thomas said looking at his laptop. Kodi really want to talk about Dusty since he knew would never get to see her again. "Bingo!" Thomas shouted with hope in voice. Kodi lifted up his head and looked at Thomas. "What did you find?" Kodi asked now standing up and walking over to Thomas. "The Seven Stones of Wedow," Thomas said now looking into the Article. "Well with these Native American stones. All seven of them have unique powers," Thomas said reading the article. Kodi looked at the looked closer at the laptop. "The seventh one is the most unique one with the power to talk to animals," Thomas explained as he scrolled through the page. "What about the other six stones?" Kodi asked. Thomas looked down at Kodi. "I'm getting to that," Thomas said now looking back at the laptop.
"Okay the other six stone are like tools mostly," Thomas said while reading about the other stones. "What does that mean?" Kodi asked. Thomas looked in closer into the stones on the web page. "The first stone is a red stone and is believed when you blow into it, it heats up your body to keep you warm," Thomas explained. Kodi chuckled. "I guess that would come in handy in the hard snow storm. Thomas laughed. "Yeah I guess it would," Thomas said with a smile. "Okay the second stone is a white stone. Made to use to make light." Thomas explained. "Like a flashlight you humans use to see in the dark," Kodi added. Thomas turned and looked at Kodi. "Exactly!" Thomas cheered. "The third stone is a pink stone that lets you heal the injured," Thomas explained. Kodi nodded in response.
"The fourth stone is a blue is able to let you eyes spot footprints from hard snow or hard rain. Something like that," Thomas said as he continued on the web page. "With the fifth stone is a yellow stone that is able to let hearing increase. So you can hear things from far away," Thomas explained. Kodi nodded in response again. "The sixth and final stone before the seventh one which we have. It is said that it Is able to let you camouflage with the environment and the color of the stone black," Thomas said as he sat back on the couch and sighed. "Do you really believe these Native American stones can do this things?" Kodi asked as he looked up at Thomas. Thomas looked at Kodi and took a deep breath before answering. "Well this one sure worked," Thomas said holding the green stone in his hand.
Suddenly they heard a car pull to Thomas's house. Thomas got up and looked out the window to see who it was. "Oh shit. He's here! Thomas said with fear in his voice. "Who's here?" Kodi asked. Thomas took a step back from the window and looked at Kodi. "That Charlie guy from the cave!" Thomas said in fear. Kodi's jaw dropped. "What are we going to do?" Kodi asked now feeling scared himself. Thomas looked around the room in a panic motion. "Um… Um...Um…" Thomas tried to get the words out. "Do something!" Kodi shouted. "I'm thinking!" Thomas shot back at Kodi. "Think faster! Kodi snapped back. "You try to think faster!" Thomas again shot back at Kodi. Kodi growled with his teeth showing. "I least I can run faster!" Kodi growled. This was making Thomas angry. "That's because you're part WOLF!" Thomas shouted. Suddenly there was a knock and the front door with Thomas and Kodi looking at the front door in fear. "Great what's your bright idea?" Kodi said looking at Thomas.
Thomas looked at Kodi and get Idea. "You go hide and I'll act like my dad when I open the door," Thomas explained the plan as he walked over next to the door and grabbed his dad boots to make him taller and his jacket, hat and sunglasses to hide his identity. "You're going to open the door?" Kodi asked worried. "Just do as I say and go hide!" Thomas said as he placed his hand on the door nob. Kodi did as he was told without anymore arguing. Once Kodi was out of the room. Thomas opened the front door to see Charlie. "What can I do you?" Thomas said in a deep voice. "Sorry to bother you sir. I'm looking for a boy and a red and white husky. I believe the husky was a male," Charlie said looking at Thomas with sunglasses that covered his face. "No sir I haven't seen any boy or dog around here. I alone up here," Thomas said with his deep voice and a fake cough. "Alright then I'm sorry to bother you. I'll be one my way now," Charlie said as he started to walk away. Thomas then closed the door and let out a breath of relief.
"You can come out now he's gone," Thomas said as he sat down on the ground and sat against the front door. Kodi then came out of hiding and in front of Thomas. "What did he want?" Kodi asked. Thomas started laughing. "What's so funny?" Kodi asked with a serious tone. Thomas stopped laughing and looked at Kodi in the eye. "He was asking for us. This man will probably not stop until he gets this stone," Thomas explained with a chuckle and a shake to the head. "Yeah. we're wanted by him because of you!" Kodi snapped at Thomas. "Why is it my fault?" Thomas shot back. "Because you wanted to go in the cave and I tried to stop you!" Kodi said raising his voice. "You didn't have to stop me. You could have waited outside for me," Thomas said while crossing his arms. Kodi started growl again. "Mark my words Thomas if something happened to you I…." Kodi's words trailed off as he lowered his ears. "Never mind," Kodi said in a low depressed voice. Kodi looked away from Thomas and walked over by the couch and laid down. "What's wrong with you?" Thomas asked as he stood up and walked over to Kodi. "Nothing let's just call it a night and we'll figure out what to do tomorrow," Kodi said not looking at Thomas. "Alright," Thomas simply said as he laid down on the couch. Soon they both went to sleep resting for the adventure ahead.
