Native Chapter 10: Knowing The Truth

"Leo and Jaxson did what?!" Sierra screamed at the top of her lungs.

Balto, Jenna, and Nava made it home just in time to see Sierra leaving the fishing trawler. Steele was watching the kids while she went to check if Balto made it back. When he told her the news she went ballistic.

"Sierra calm down I'm sure they're safe." Balto reassured.

"They fell down a waterfall grandpa!" Sierra raged. "They could be dead or dying!"

"Calm down my dear." Nava spoke up. "The spirits have told me that Jaxson and your son are safe."

"Who is this cook?!" Sierra growled.

Nava flinched a little bit. Balto chuckled halfheartedly. The old leader probably hadn't expect Sierra to say that.

"This is Nava." Balto sighed. "He's the one that was leader of the pack your mom was in. When the pack migrated, she became leader while he stayed behind."

Sierra still growled but soon stopped. Sierra sighed and calmed herself down, "I'm sorry It's just a mother thing," Sierra said softly. Nava smiled and nodded. "I understand sweetheart," Nava said softy. Sierra nodded then looked at her grandfather. "Grandpa can I talk you alone," Sierra said as she walked passed him.

Balto nodded as she walked passed him he followed her outside.

When they were a good distance Sierra turned around to face her grandfather. She looked like she really wanted to say something. When she opened her mouth she burst into tears. Balto went right up to her and nuzzled her comfortingly.

"It's alright Sierra your brother will protect Leo." Balto consoled her. "His heart may not be in the right place right now but he loves his family."

"I know but I'm just so worried." Sierra sobbed. "Leo hasn't been to the outside world before. He's barely a few months old."

"I know that." Balto said. "But we have to put our trust in Those two. That's all we can do for now. Is your father still in the hospital? I want to talk him."

Sierra nodded. "He's been a little under the weather though," Sierra said. Balto turned to looked at Sierra. "It'll be no problem I think I can handle home," Balto said with smile. Sierra nodded. "Thomas is with him. Just letting you know," Sierra called out to her grandfather. Balto looked at his granddaughter and nodded before walking on.

When he got to the hospital entrance he was surprised to see Aleu. She looked like she was pacing.

"Aleu?" Balto said.

She looked up and smiled running over to her father. She tackled him with a big hug.

"Alright I get it you missed me!" Balto chuckled.

"Did you find them?" She asked looking very hopeful.

"I found them but then I lost them again." Balto admitted. "We ran into some trouble and we got separated. Don't worry though Leo is safe with Jaxson."

"Ok." Aleu stared at the ground in disappointment. "Are you here to see Toklo?"

"Yes i want to talk to him about the problem we ran into." Balto said. "I'll give you the details when we get inside. You and Toklo need to hear this together."

Balto and Aleu both walked inside the pets hospital. It was crowded filled with people inside yelling about how all their dogs were sick. "It's been like this for a day papa," Aleu explained. Balto nodded. "What floor is Toklo and Thomas on?," Balto asked. Aleu looked at her father. "Top floor which is the third floor," Aleu answered. Balto nodded and headed for the stairs.

Thomas sits in a chair about to fall asleep with Toklo. "Hey Thomas," a voice said where Toklo was laying down at. Thomas opened his eyes and looked towards Toklo. Thomas then sat up quickly in shock. "What the hell?!" Thomas said looking Toklo. Toklo's body was cover in blood with his rib cage poking out of his body. Thomas felt uneasy as he saw Toklo. Thomas walked over to Toklo and went to touch Toklo's head. Toklo's dead body jumped up and bit Thomas's right hand, "Thomas!" Toklo shouted . Thomas opened his eyes looking at Toklo. Thomas then noticed his hand was bleeding.

"You were squirming in your sleep so I nipped you." Toklo said.

"You call this a nip?" Thomas gestured to his fresh wound. "This isn't just a nip! You bit me!"

"Sorry." Toklo put his ears down. "I guess I got carried away."

"Yeah just don't make a habit of-" Thomas began.

"Toklo I need to talk to you about something!" Balto burst into the room unexpectedly. "Do you know someone by the name of Terry?"

"What did you say?!" Toklo barked in shock. "How do you know about Terry? He's been dead for two years!"

"I'm not so sure." Balto looked away. "He seemed pretty alive when he tried to kill me, Jaxson, and Leo. We barely survived."

Toklo couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Your lying!" Toklo shot at Balto. Balto raised one eyebrows. "What do you mean I'm lying?" Balto asked. Toklo growled. "My brother's dead!" Toklo screamed Aleu gasped. Thomas Stepped out of the room to go wash his hand. "Get out of this room now!" Toklo shouted.

"What happened to you hand?" A vet asked walking up to Thomas. "Oh it's nothing," Thomas answered. The vet looked at the door that Toklo was in. "Did that wolf bite you?" The vet asked. Thomas looked up at the vet and shook his head. "No he didn't," Thomas answered. The vet shook her head. " I can tell you're lying," the vet said.

The vet then walked towards Toklo's room. "What are you doing?" Thomas asked. The vet then puts on some white gloves and had a needle in her hand. "I'm going to give him some medicine he might be sick since he bit you," the vet explained.

Balto the lowered his ears. "Toklo I'm trying to help our family please let me help," Balto insisted. Toklo growled again. "Get out!" Toklo shouted. The vet then walked in with Thomas behind her. "No he's fine please don't do this to him!" Thomas said trying to stop the vet from giving Toklo the medicine.

Unable to take it anymore Toklo jumped out of the bed bandages and all. He ran out of the hospital towards the beach.

'It can't be!' He thought. 'It just can't be!'

It'd happened so long ago. He'd been young and foolish. Not a day went by when he didn't think about Terry. About all the mistakes he made. He was an embarrassment to his family. He killed both of his brothers. Toklo knew this. There was no way Terry survived that fire.

When he got to the beach he stripped off the bandages. He felt good as new. All the wounds his son had rightfully given him were gone. The waves were gentle against his paws.

"This can't happen it just can't." He said to himself.

"Oh but it is brother." A cold voice spoke. "And when I'm done with your friends and family you're next. I want to see you suffer for what you did to me."

Toklo's head looked around for the origin of the voice, but couldn't see anything.

"Kill me but leave everyone else alone!" Toklo howled.

"Hehe see you soon..." The voice faded out.

"Dammit!" Toklo snarled.

"I told you, you would scare him away!" Thomas shouted. The vet walked out of the room. Thomas shook his head and sat down in the chair. Balto put his head down. "I just try and try and nothing seems to work," Balto said in a low voice. Aleu nuzzled her father.

"There's one that we could try," Thomas added. Balto and Aleu looked at Thomas. "And what's that?" Balto asked. Thomas took a breath and say forward. "My friend Zack talks to the dead,"
