Steele sat there looking at himself as he heard the town cheer for Balto. He walked out of the boiler room, only to be confronted by his companions "Hey, guys" Steele said in hope they didn't completely hate him. They didn't say a word. They looked at him coldly and disgustingly, he could feel the hatred toward him. He looked at his paws with shame and walked away from them. He got to the hospital just in time to see Balto and Jenna nuzzling each other. This made him only feel worse. As he watched and accidentally made eye contact with Balto, Balto could see the destruction he had brought to Steele, Balto felt bad but was to caught in the moment to react. Steele slowly walked over to his master's house. He walked in and was greeted with a loud and swift "OUT!" from his master, not even his master wanted to see him "Listen here Steele" his master said coldly and sternly "this is all you have good luck, and do me a favor and never show your face around me again!" He said as he strapped a bag to Steele's side. Steele whined but his master didn't look at him again and just shut the door. That was it, Steel had no friends and nowhere to go. He cried a bit just sitting waiting for someone to stop and see if he was ok, but it never happened. He picked himself up and started walking to the wilderness. As he walked he felt more and more worthless, to him he was walking til he fell dead and that is exactly what he did. He walks for miles outside of town. When he was about 35 miles outside of Nome he looked at what his master gave him. He opened the small side bag and dug through it, in there, there was a bag of dog food that could last him a week if he rationed well and a large bag of water. He sighed and just dropped the things out of the bags. He wanted death to come at him already. He began to walk again. Days went by like months to Steele, he slowly became more dehydrated as the days went on he got in to a fight with a badger who messed him up, giving him multiple large and deep cuts along his body and finally after 3 days of walking with no sleep or water and blood loss he fell unconscious. He faded in and out as he was dragged by something. He could feel teeth on his legs as he was dragged "Just…….kill me…….already" Steele mumbled before slipping back into an unconscious state. He woke up next to a river with a grey and black wolf next to him. He got started and moved away, this in turn made the wolf wake up too. She turned to him "You need to drink" her voice was soothing to Steele in a way "Why did you save me, I'm worthless." He said with sadness in his eyes. She looked at him almost with a hateful look "Drink dog!!" She yelled. Steele didn't want to test his luck with her so he drank. Water in his system made him feel so much better in an instant, he didn't want to stop drinking until he drank to fast and threw up "Calm down you'll kill yourself if you drink too much" she said meaningful" Steele stopped drinking he got a better look at the wolf "Who are you?" Steele asked " I'm Lima and you are?" She said looking back at Steele as she walked away " I'm Steele" he said catching up to her "Well it's nice meeting you Steele, now come you need rest" she commanded while pointing her muzzle in the direction of her den. Steele was hesitant but followed. He limped into her den and sat down "wait here I will get our medic" she said from the mouth of the den. Steele sat nervously and patiently "They're just going to kill me" he thought to himself. Finally the medic walked in and examined him, putting moss on his cuts to serve as bandages Steele winced a bit when she applied the moss. She looked at Steele he was quite a large dog "what is your name?" She asked Steele "my name is Steele" he said proudly. She giggled "That's a handsome name" she said flirtingly "Thank you" Steele said with a smile. Just then the alpha of the pack walked in "Zulu what is the case with this dog?" He demanded "He seems to be ok Echo" she said sternly "good Zulu can you give me a moment with him" Steele gulped Echo was much larger than him and intimated him "Don't worry dog I ain't gunna hurt you" this did nothing to calm Steele "I'm Echo and I'm the alpha of this area you are welcome to stay as long as you like but you have to help around if you do" Steele weighed his options in his head "I think I'll stay a bit" he said making up his mind " that works for me we have a meeting in an hour, be there" Echo walked out of the den and disappeared into his.
