ME: Look guys, I only saw snippets of "Wings of Change" and some parts of the first movie and "Wolf Quest". So forgive me if I screw up or anything. I've got mass later, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to respond to any reviews. Some things might not make sense.
Life was easy in some regards for Aleutia "Aleu" Balto, but difficult in others.
Bridget Steele was one of them.
The daughter of a rival of her fathers and one of the best students back in Nome, Bridget never did have a place in her heart for anyone but Lieutenant General James "Jim" Steele, the Commanding Officer of Alaskan Command. The defenders of the final frontier
Although the cold blue-eyed girl never made efforts to get with Aleu, whenever she did it was deliberately difficult for her. Bridget was eager for all the credit for the success while doing everything to make Aleu take the fall whenever something went wrong.
Aleu had grown to hate Bridget. It was all because of their fathers. General Jim Steele was in line for a promotion, but Dad had came in. Whoever got the job wasn't Steele.
Just before leaving her home for the United States Military Academy in New York Aleu been slipped a file by her mother, a physchologist. She had read it and realized one thing.
Bridget was subjected to a daily barrage of verbal and physchological abuse from the day she could walk. Steele only wanted the best out of her. Maybe it was because her mother had died in childbirth.
But regardless of it, Aleu reflected on the plane ride, Bridget was not a monster of her own doing. It was pure pressure and parental manipulation.
They said power corrupted. And corruption of adults led to children molded in a cruel manner.
Bridget Steele was a girl whose innocence was crushed before she was 13 by her own father.
And Aleu did not know what it would take to repair someone so broken.
ME: Poor Bridget I guess. Steele never was that good of a role model from what I've read. This has got to be my darkest fic yet.
