The Lost Treasure Map Series

by V Bertolaccini

  There was only one object there and the black sphere and an attachment surrounding it, and he was surprised at the actual size of thing and the expense it might have cost, and wondered why he had not noticed, and he walked around it examining it, considering what it could be and what they would have used it for.

  Its black material still staggered him with its extraordinary energy pulsating through it, with its pure magnitude, more than anything he had encountered before, and he wondered what the hell it was doing, and who it had to belong to, and he wondered if they had discovered it like the alien object that had crashed in the wood, and it belonged to the government and military, and he shined his torch over it and studied bits of it in detail about it, and slowly examined its perfectly symmetrical black sphere central region for anything.

  He analyzed a region with markings and was sure that it activated it in someway and he touched it and it activated it and he wondered why!

  The whole sphere opened up and he stood staring at its inside in wonder, wondering what the hell it was! The whole thing and interior was like some fantastic deep sea craft that was so advanced he could not recognize anything. Most of it was black and there were flickering illuminations given off things he could not see, and for some reason he climbed into a type of seat at its center and sat examining what could be controls of some sort and something monitoring its function.

  It surely was not a bomb and he considered its function as a flying or space vehicle but could not recognize anything.

  He rested motionlessly, staggered at it, sensing something was going to happen, and considered getting out and he heard Dory and its opening shut, enclosing him away from the outside world, and he prepared himself for what could happen!

  Echoes of her voice and their last conversations haunted his mind. What the hell had he done? Why had he done it? Surely he could have avoided it!

  The thing seemed to turn hyperactive about him and power blasted through it and he prepared himself for something, but he never knew why, and he tried to check its basic function, which he tried over and over to gain proper awareness of. Why was it there and why was it sitting there waiting for someone to get into it and do something?

  It had to be a control seat he was in, but where were the controls to alter and deactivate it?

  He tried resting and ignoring it and felt sleepy, and casually wondered if he could be trapped there.

  When it activated for real he barely noticed anything. His mind was wandering through all the occurrences that had led up to its discovery, and him digging up the floor above, and him finally entering the mysterious chamber.

  Energy explosions blasted out across everywhere with so much force that it made his hair stand up and it even seemed to threaten to make space and time unbalanced or destroy it, and he wondered what damage Downing Street above would be subjected to!

  An explosion of blinding radiance left him stunned and he firmly shut his eyes but still saw it and he sat back calculating what problems he could face! From its intensity and colossal powers he sat firmly gripping the seat, keeping himself firmly against it, contemplating the dangers and his chances of survival.

  It was unbelievable and he wondered why he had even contemplated there not being real danger at one point, and it was his thought of it being an atomic bomb.

  He seemed to see glimpses through the object’s shell and saw that it was a perfect black sphere, clearly of highly advanced origins, for whatever it had been designed for, and that the sections that were at the side of the sphere had clearly been left behind somewhere, and he wondered where he was and if the building had entirely vanished.

  An immense whirlpool of shifting lines of energy formed and shifted strangely about its exterior and he studied it for a long time, and realized for a moment he never had any body or proper presence, and was something else, and some form of force formation! It was swirling through an outer vortex that replaced his reality with a mind-bending display of something that he could not recognize!

  The strange thing was he felt something else was there with him! Something else about him! Something controlling it and what it did! Though it was part of its existence seemed to be somewhere else!

  He frequently watched the sphere become entirely invisible and as though he was floating through something, with him invisible, and outside of energy formations, and he occasionally heard the sphere functioning and perhaps doing what it was supposed to.

  He realized things that could exist and that it could be controlled by telepathic transmissions and he wondered if it could create visions powerful enough to trick his mind, and he wondered why Dory wanted him to visit it so much!

  Silent roars of colossal power blasted out in the back of his thoughts and reality was a blur of swirling lights.

  Sickening lurches of the sphere shuddered through him as it located itself at different points in time, making vast leaps right across time, as it vanished and emerged in vast strange and mind-bending regions, emerging about him as though he were floating through places in the past as a ghost, as it checked and searched.

  With an accuracy and capacity inconceivable it explored time, and he sensed what it was searching for!

  Then startling views of normal space and time appeared everywhere, as the sphere completed its mission, and he lost consciousness as everything appeared and he emerged at a location in the past.

  Chapter 21

  The Alien

  Cameron awoke with strange sensations and flicked open his eyes to a peculiar and utterly unbelievable sight, with a hazy metallic bronze, which made him quiver, that never matched what should be there, and he remembered something with horror, and studied everywhere trying to grasp what had happened and how it could be there, and heard extraordinary sounds!

  His fingers probed the cold ground and he recalled it all before and he used his arms to clean his eyes and saw immediately he was lying in a farm field in the pool of muck again, surrounded by cows, and as he choked and spat out muck and dung he started to get on his feet, and wondered if he had been thrown back in time to his former self, and gasped and wondered what to do!

  His mind searched for the real problem and wondered if he had lost his memory over again. But he had not! He proved his memory was the same!

  He searched the entire landscape and recognized a distant road over to his left side that he knew was Floors Road, where the wood, Floors Road Wood, was with the well with the jewels, with the field Rudolf Hess had parachuted in over at the opposite side of the road, and a bright blue building further down was Linn Products, with the wood beside it where the alien had crashed into in the middle of the night, and again he wondered why the entire scenario of him waking in the pool of mud had been repeated!

  He crazily scared the cattle away from him everywhere and he fought to remove muck and water away from his sight while trying to pull his embedded legs out of mud, and he realized again that he had been asleep in a pool of stinking mud!

  He searched deep in his inner pocket and found his phone with ecstasy, and checked the internet and date and was amazed that he had traveled back in time and was in the pool of muck at almost the same time as before, and realized it was actually before he had originally awoke there, and realized that if his former self still existed there that he would soon end up there.

  He realized he might be able to find his true identity and what had happened, and he cleaned himself as best he could.

  What had really happened? Who was he? And he realized he could solve the mysteries!

  What form of occurrence had taken place that could create such a scenario and he struggled to force his mind to grasp something and to find a plan, and he realized that he should leave there.

  As he rushed away he heard cars on the A726 road behind him, and realized that the taxi driver would be there soon, and moved away over to the wood with the well.

  He was annoyed and ecstatic and he kept wondering what the sphere was and how the hell he had been dumped in the pool of
mud, and spotted a farmer watching him on a tractor and trailer in the distance and remembered him.

  Once at the well in the wood he checked it had been discovered and saw two people coming towards the wood and rushed away over to a hiding place behind a tree and watched them, with amazement.

  All the unanswered questions went through his mind! What would it really be like meeting himself? Who was it with him, and how did he end up in the pool of muck with his memory gone?

  When he saw them he was surprised! One looked like him but he realized he was David Cameron the Prime Minister, who was there to find the treasure, and he realized that he actually was his twin brother, and he watched the other man but he could not recall having seen him before, and he really grasped his attention as he realized he was a soldier and wearing an army uniform.

  He recalled the Prime Minister had made an agreement with the three soldiers as he could not find the treasure, and they had found the well for him, and they were searching the well for the treasure for him.

  Yet he had not seen the soldier before at the army camp, which was up passed where Hess’s plane had crashed, where the army had set up tents to look for the alien crash site!

  He was strange and moved and reacted strangely as if he knew him but never, and he watched him move right up to where the well was, where he could hear him, and listened intensely.

  At the side of his eye, like a hallucination, he caught sight of a strange translucence cat formation emerging from the well and they both froze unable to move, and he watched the soldier alter and look like him and the Prime Minister, and he realized that the alien had altered his past and him into having a similar character and name, as it was not able to properly merge them together, as it did in its own universe.

  He watched it merge the Prime Minister and the soldier together, into one person, and he watched the remaining human with amazement, and he finally watched it put itself into him, and hide away in a condensed form in his atoms, in a partially dormant hibernating state, and he realized his true identity.

  He was a combination of three individuals, and he realized why, and that the alien could see the future, and had seen its own death, of it an immortal extremely advance interdimensional extraterrestrial that had lived for millions of years, which it had never faced any form before, and it was a main entity of its species and of vast amounts of species of its universe, which had been sent in reply to a contact message on a peaceful mission, and that it had to return to its universe to warn them of this universe, and its dangers!

  It had invented and perfected a system of carrying out scenarios and finding what their results were, and it had worked through immense millions of future scenarios until it had found one that had worked, which allowed it to survive and leave the universe.

  Cameron realized his full identity, and realized he was mainly the soldier that he had seen, and that his originally life had been empty and that he would profit greatly from the agreement, and Cameron decided to accept it, and so did the Prime Minister part of him, until the interdimensional extraterrestrial left, and it intended to allow both of them to profit from the agreement.

  As Cameron stood staring into the horizon, slightly stunned, he realized the truth, and he realized that it had been the alien all along that had been behind everything, and he realized the army had suspected him as being in contact with it as the army was far more advanced now at the detection of it, and they had detected its presence from him, but it had not been powerful enough to have them react and that they had only monitored him, and they had also detected the Prime Minister’s in him from his DNA, which they had taken from objects he had at the army base.

  They had not touched him as he was the Prime Minister and he would not have been able to do the things the alien wanted without him the soldier.

  The three aliens had been sent to make contact and capture him on behalf of their race, and he recalled their reaction to him when they detected the alien within him, and it had managed to get rid of them, without him knowing, as it had used its powers to do it!

  It had put the black sphere and chamber beneath Downing Street to take him back there, through time.

  He watched the earlier version of himself at the well and him vanish and appear at the pool of muck, over in the distance, and he watched him fall in the pool of muck, which he had thought of so many times, and he turned away.

  He even realized why it had crashed there, and not near where the contact message had been sent from, as it had detected the Prime Minister was there, where he had been looking for the treasure on his own at the time, and it had recognized him as a main leader of the world at the time, from transmissions it had instantly detected on its arrival.

  It had detected him nearby after it had crashed into the wood as it had arrived at the edge of the wood, where it had also turned into a translucent ghost form to hide, and it had watched him, and his attempt to search for treasure at a nearby gravestone, and had watched him over days, monitoring what he did, as it had used many disguises and invisibility to hide itself away, hiding itself in humans, analyzing them and finding ways to remain undetected, seeking a proper plan and way to survive.

  Cameron looked over at the well and realized that he could check the well now, and wondered if they had the ropes there, and he recalled that he went down into it after he had appeared at the pool of muck and army base, and he moved over to it and studied it and removed the covering over it, and searched about him and road, and realized he would be happy for the alien to leave, but realized it had protected him and helped him with many things.

  While he stared into the well he realized it was as though he could see in infrared in it and saw into its deep depths and he watched a large spider crawl up its side from its web, move to a hiding place, and he wondered why he had not realized he had so many powers.

  Chapter 22

  The Treasure

  Cameron could hardly believe everything of the past weeks and it was as if was in one of his dreams and it was astounding that he was hunting for treasure on his own in an ancient well.

  While he entered the well he embarrassingly heard a shout and scream away in the distance and spotted himself up at the pool of muck waving over at the farmer on his tractor, and he swore to himself, realizing how stupid it looked now, and watched himself crazily removing mud from himself, and ignored it, and studied the well with one of the torches he found there, and swiftly fixed the harness around him, getting ready to go down, and closed the top over the well better, and heard a car race passed on the road.

  It was an incredible situation, and he could not realize what the full outcome was! He had once argued that there was nothing there and he had also been the one that had insisted there was and had convinced them that there was something buried away there.

  He was determined in finding what was there and he swiftly lowered himself into the well.

  As he rushed down air currents made strange sounds, and it sounded as if he was hearing it in its real form, and he was sure he heard insects scurrying over rocks and into cavities, and he listened to his breathing with types of echoes there.

  He wondered what was happening to him as his body seemed to be altering to something he could not quite grasp, and he wondered how far his hearing could alter, and if he would alter into something else, and he was sure he now had sixth senses in places he never realized.

  He realized that he would some day soon have to get use to being normal again, and wondered what the effects would do to him, and he listened to how mind-bending sounds were!

  His breathing rushed through the shaft with a fury that was stunning, and no matter how he tried to shake it off and contemplate how it could happen it never altered and he started ignoring it.

  Clouds of powdered dirt came down on top of him as he hit the ground at the bottom of the well, swirling through thin beams of light in gusts of air, and he felt heat from the air.

  The well was strange now and looked as if it had been filled
in, but most of it had not been dug yet, and he swiftly checked the walls of the well to make sure he had not made a mistake and realized that the wall with the metal box was not buried beneath the ground.

  He realized that Hess must have found the well and thrown the treasure down into it, and perhaps not even known if it was a well! There was little on what was there and he realized why they had such a bad time searching.

  He recalled all the faint lines on the map, and scribbles, and was sure it was a map drawn quickly and was almost incomprehensive! It was a map of there and had a mark on it that was where they were digging.

  He had considered having it dated and having it compared with Hess’s writing, to get who had written it.

  He suddenly removed his harness and threw the rope away from him and started examining the surrounding well wall going around him and examined it in detail and recognized the part of the wall, covered in a thick layer of dried muck.

  When he pulled chunks of it away he eventually found a black slab embedded in the dried muck, and that it looked like some form of shiny black stone, measuring a foot by half a foot, and it interested him greatly and he wondered why they had not properly searched the whole wall first, and realized how careless they were.

  He grasped it furiously, and felt the weight of it, and it seemed too light now, and he wondered if he imagined it!

  He was sure it had been on the ground at one point and that the well had been flooded and it and the muck had become embedded on the wall.

  Cameron cleaned the muck from it and found its keyhole, and proved the metal box was locked, and for fifteen minutes he patiently used a piece of wire to unlock it and successfully did it while examining the hole they had been digging.

  Clouds of powdered dirt came rushing down and some swirled about through the well in torch beams as he raced to pull the rusted metal box apart, and as he examined a hammer and chisel on the ground it started shifting up and he wondered if he had made a mistake as he now recalled examining the pieces of glass and was sure he proved that they were, and he wondered what the outcome of it would be.
