This is my first time uploading so just hang in there. I'm not the best speller and my new computer doesn't seem to have spell check so I have probably misspelled several words so I'm sorry about that. Other than that enjoy the story and leave me your thoughts.

The Forgotten
Prologue
~The town was in an uproar the people cheered and whistle. But they didn't cheer his name no. They cheered "BALTO! WAY TO GO BALTO! YOUR ARE HERO! LONG LIVE BALTO!" Dog and human alike cheered for Balto. Steelejust couldn't stand it why should they cheer for him that half breed that mangy MUTT! It just wasn't fair. He slunk away from they crowd and as he walked through the bitter snow he passed a fellow dog. He stood straight and proud he was still the big hero in is eyes but the other dog just ran past him as if he wasn't even there.
Watching it run into the crowd made his fur stand on end even more. He let out a low snarl. I'll get you for that you half breed I'll rip your fur of and leave your corpse for that mutt loving Jena. He turned and continued on his way back to the warmth of the boiler room, hoping to find some fellow dogs that still had there minds set on him being the hero and Balto the loser.
As he entered the boiler room he was met with snarls and glares from the dogs who had returned form the town. Before he had a chance to speak the one closest to him spoke. "Well well well what do we have here? Looks like Steelethe big brave dog himself" He snickered and jumped down from his perch. "You got a lot of nerve coming back here thinking your going to lie to us some more" A few of the other dogs got up and began to move towards him snarling. "Wait guys just hold on a sec" "SHUT IT Steele! We have had enough of your LIES" The dog all but snarled out that last word.
Snarling as they surrounded him the first dog barked, signaling the others into a furry of tooth and claw. Steelehad no chance, dogs lunged at him sinking there teeth into anywhere they could get a hold of Steeleyelped in pain and tried to fight back but he was pined down. Then the weight went away and he could feel a hand grab his collar. A man had entered the room with a stick swinging it around at the dogs who backed off, quickly retreating back to there spots by the fire. The man shook his stick as a warning to them. The dog closest who had started it all watched smugly, as Steelelimped out with the man.
As he limped by his side the man looked down at him his face was mean and angry. Steelecould tell he was upset and looked back down at the snow, he let out a soft whine at the slight pain from his wounds. He was then hit with stick the man held. Steelelet out a yelp at the sudden pain from the object. Only to be hit again and again until all he could do was curl up and whine with every blow. The man was furious and the smell of whiskey was on his breath as he bellowed out insults.
Steelebolted away from the mans grip making him fall into the snow. He didn't stop or even look back at him. He ran as fast and as far as he could to get away from him. As Steelerounded a corner he fell head over heals onto Jenna. He got off her and before she had a chance to speak he was gone. Running into the dark stormy night his body was quickly engulfed into the darkness. The last anyone would see or hear of him for a very very long time.
