Chapter 10: The Adventure
Its just another day in the pack household but something is stirring in Vienna's mind as she rushes about the house looking for something, Everyone assumes that what ever she is looking for must be of great value to keep her going this long.
"What are you looking for?" Pam asks holding a sleeping child in her arms
"I am looking for a map" Vienna says lifting a pack of papers.
"A map? Why don't you just look on the internet?" Cyrus says.
"Because this is a map..to buried treasure" Vienna exclaims as she opens a portfolio
"Yes I found it!" she yells jumping up and down with excitement.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go look for this so called treasure" Hawk says snickering at the idea of treasure.
"I am sure we can handle this while, Mana them are at work" Travis says
So off they Go Pam, Shamus, Hawk, Travis, Cyrus, Sam, and Jonah out of the house locking the door and in the direction the map tells them where to go. After about 15 minutes of walking they come to a nearby cave.
"So please tell me who's treasure does it belong too?" Jonah asks looking over at Vienna
"It belongs to the legendary nightmare" Vienna says taking a step towards the cave looking inside.
The pack begin to walk inside the cave as Vienna begins to tell the tale of nightmare. They can see nothing except the little light that their rundown flashlights are able to provide for them, luckily it is only the afternoon
"Legend says that nightmare was the only name that he went by because he was the greatest thief in the whole state, he never could be caught and was always striking at night, he robbed more than 7 thousand dollars worth of priceless things, and people that seen him said that they had nightmares for a good week" Vienna says coming to a cut in the cave.
"Which side do we go too?" Vienna asks shining her light at the pack.
"Weft" Shamus says finally waking up from his nap clapping his hands.
"Should we trust him?" Cyrus asks hesitant about the decision
"Well do we really have a choice? And even if it is a dead end we can just turn back around and come back here and take the other side" Sam says heading left.
They continue to walk down into the cave deeper, as Shamus begins to make boo's and growling noises before laughing and clapping his hands. Ten minutes later they see a faint light up ahead, thinking that that should be the end of the tunnel they begin to make haste and speed walk towards the light, When they do they end up in a round area with signs of anywhere else to go.
"Oh great dead end, well lets go…" Jonah then turns to go back out but it seems that the entrance that they came just disappeared.
They begin to panick and think about yelling but are afraid of causing a cave in that is until little shamus laughs nodding his head and then opening his mouth. And to the packs wonder and amazement he seems to be holding a note that causes the room their in to shake causing the wall to their right to cave in. The pack now even more dazzled and confused at how Shamus did that just blow it off and walk into the new open room. They walk in and notice the room is filled with children drawings, and old stuff all layed out and a chest in the middle of the room high on a ledge.
"Great how are we going to get that?" Jonah exclaims irritated a little
Little did they know robbers who also heard of the legend was not far behind they open the chest and noticed it is filled with 100$ , 50$ and 20$ bills all nice and crispy. They are all stoked at what they found but Shamus see's something that caught his eye and picked it up in his hands and held onto it for dear life.
Just then the robbers came in and startled the pack
"Looks like you helped us find the treasure, now give us the money and none of you will get hurt"
Jonah nervous but being the eldest male who their steps forward hiding his fear he speaks.
"Oh yeah, what are you going to do?" he says as bravely as he could
The Robbers just pull out their guns and holds it point blank at the pack, the pack realizing that their life is more important than the money just sighs and hands over the chest of money.
Pam then notices the paper in Shamus' hand and takes it from him and opens it up, her eyes widen as she calls for the packs attention.
"listen to what this note says, it was from nightmare himself"
You think that the money was my greatest treasure? Well you're wrong, my greatest treasure wasn't the money but the roof I put over their heads, the food I put in their stomachs, the beds I let them sleep in, and the smiles I put on their hearts, My greatest treasure is that I was able to make a difference in this world for people who felt that the world gave up on them, I gave them strength, and a new beginning, I would do it all again but it seems a new chapter of my life is to be made, I never thought that being this young I would be able to make a difference, The greatest treasure cannot be bought or found, the greatest treasure doesn't start with a map, I will let you in on a little secret the greatest treasure starts…and ends in the heart-Nightmare
"Well this note is right, the greatest treasures do start in the heart, because as of now Shamus is a whole year old" Pam says smiling at her son
"I had the greatest treasure from the first time I met her" Jonah says wrapping his arms around Vienna from behind. Kissing her neck and smiling.
"Our greatest treasure was joining the pack" Cyrus and his brothers all say in unison.
The pack all look around when they hear the sound of a flute playing,
"There is only one person that plays the flute" Pam says looking up and smiles as she sees Mana sitting near the opening of the cave playing his flute with his eyes closed and his hair blowing in the October breeze.
"I see you found our treasure" Mana says keeping his eyes closed.
The Pack all just gasp at what they just heard.
"You mean you are nightmare?" Jonah asks in sheer shock.
"Not me..we are nightmare" Mana says as Koa and Aaron walk into the cave holding one side of the chest each
"How can that be though? Nightmare is just a legend?" Vienna says
"No we are very much alive, we just made it too the point of being legends" Koa says dropping his part of the chest.
"We started at the age of 10" Aaron says dropping his part of the chest.
"But how were you able to?" Pam is all she is able to say because when the pack looked up Mana was gone and when they went to ask where Mana went, Koa and Aaron were both gone too.
A/N how was that chapter of the story? Will Mana them return to the pack or is there something more deeper about the head wolves? What does the future hold for Jonah them. Please stay tuned, also I might not be able to post chapters as fast as I used to because I got a job now so please bear with me.
