Chapter 12: The Journey
Darwin and Rosie . . . 10:00 P.M. (9 hours until dawn)
It's been a while. Rosy and Darwin haven't heard any screams for a long time. Rosy is starting to worry about the others. If Sam made it. If Mike made it. If Chilam made it. If anyone made it at all. Darwin was scared too. His sister is all he has left. He doesn't want to lose her. He's like Balto. He wants to keep what he loves safe, along with Rosy. He won't give up on her no matter what. It's what Jenna would've wanted.
Balto, Kodi, Suka, and Chilam's wolves sat together. Waiting for the others return.
"Have you girls seen boris?" Balto asked. "You girls were the last ones who had him."
"I didn't eat him." Sierra said. The girls shook there head as well, even though that wasn't what Balto was asking. "He might be back at the town. Who knows."
"What will we do?" Suka asked Balto.
"We head to the white mountains. Where Suka's pack went. It may have a clue on how to stop this madness." Balto said to the others.
"Your pack was there?" Kodi asked Suka.
"No, it's a place we visited a long time ago. A couple months I think. But we saw this stone tablet and I think it cursed us. We've been losing members one by one. Until it was no one left but my mother, the leader and me. The Wendigo's were killing us. It killed our leader, my mother . . . told me to run. Run until I was safe." Suka hung his head down. "I'm the last one left."
"They were all killed by one thing?" Sesi asked. Suka shook his head. "If they were all killed by the wendigo then there must be another reason. Why are they after this wolf pup? What does he have to do with anything? What does killing him achieve?"
"I don't know." Suka said.
"Going to that mountain is the only way to find out how he's cursed." Balto said. "We need the kids to follow us. We need to have them know where we're going."
"We can't go outside" Sierra said. "The Wendigo's may be waiting for us. We need another way out."
"Look. We may not have a choice." Balto said.
Balto walked to Rosy. He licked her face and she giggled. He grabbed her coat and pulled her up.
"What is it?" Rosy asked. Balto saw a map of Alaska pinned on the wall. He scratched on the place they needed to go. "The white mountain."
"Does he want us to go there?" Darwin said.
Balto was scratching Rosy's leg softly. Like he was agreeing. Rosy scratched his ear and looked at the map. He trusts Balto, just like Jenna does. She believes Balto wants to take everyone there.
"We need to go there Darwin." Rosy said. "Balto may know where everyone is going. Or maybe where we can find where the monsters are taking our family's."
"Okay. We may have to make a run for it. So be ready." Darwin said getting up.
"Should we leave a message in case Sam or anyone gets back. Let them know where we are going?"
"Yeah. I think I saw a marker in here somewhere." Darwin went to go look.
As they opened the gate, they saw the town on fire. They were upset. Darwin wrote a sign for whoever comes here. It says . . .
Move to the white mountain
That should lead Sam, or anyone there. Let's just hope the Wendigo's can't read. The Wolves walked and the kids caught up to them.
Later that night . . .
Kesuk was looking for his owner, he was howling, but no howls came right back to his ears. He was about to leave but heard a goose. It was Boris, he was calling for help. Kesuk rolled his eyes and ran over to help him. He pulled him out and he sprinted out of the town. Into the snowy snow storm. He placed him down.
"The four girls, where are they?" kesuk asked.
"They left me!" Boris yelled. Kesuk sniffed around and picked up a scent, a minty scent leading to a short bunker. A marker is what he smelled. He read the sign and grabbed the goose.
"Come on. I know where to go." Kesuk said grabbing him by the neck.
"You need me?" Boris said.
"Yeah. To fill my stomach if I get hungry." Kesuk replied making the goose shake. "I'm not serious. I hate geese." Boris sighed. "I don't know, I never tried geese." Boris showed an angry face.
He wasn't sure who he even enjoys being around. Kesuk, the bears, or the girls.
"Where are we going?" Boris said.
"The White mountain. We need to go there." Kesuk said.
Meanwhile . . .
The sign was still on the wall of the bunker. A hand touched. Sam knew who's hand writing it was.
"Darwin." She said. She looked at the others. The Journey was going to be long, but worth it.
To be continued . . .
