A/N: ok so here is chapter 3! To be honest it's a bit of a fillerchapter but whatever. So I apologize for that. But otherwise I hope you enjoy it. ^-^ oh and it's a lot longer than the last two so I hope that makes up for the boringness.
Dakota gave Nalu a stern look, reminding him of his promise from earlier. The dark red husky nodded in response and slipped away from the group.
He jumped over the garbage in an alleyway and purposely tipped over a garbage can. He was about to sniff over the contents when he heard the sound of big paw steps heading his way. He panicked and tried to run away but tripped over some debris and fell muzzle first into the trash. "Ugh...yuck..."
"What's up pup?" Nalu tried to get up too quickly and wound up slipping again. "Jeeze, just stop it. You're gonna hurt yourself." The speaker jumped over to him and nudged him back onto his paws. "Thanks Aleks." Nalu shook out his fur and wrinkled his nose at the smell. "Gross." Aleks gave him an amused look. Aleks was one of Steele's many children. He was a spitting image of his face however he was thinner and sleeker than his father.
"So what brings you-"
"Nalu?" Amox stood behind the garbage cans, looking over them. "Are you over there?" Nalu blushed under his already red fur and tried to move out of sight. Amox was in front of him before he could even think of a place to hide. "Hey I thought we were gonna go to your-" Aleks cut him off with an odd look. "Who's he?" Nalu flattened his ears and looked at his paws. "This is Amox. He came here with Alue." He looked back at Amox. "And this is Aleks. He's Kodi's..." he seemed to struggle for the right word. Aleks didn't bother waiting for a formal introduction however. "I am Kodiak's mate. Don't mind me." Amox smiled and nodded then turned back to Nalu who nodded. "I know, I'm coming I just needed to find something to eat before we headed that way." The rusty red wolf gave him a disbelieving look. "You find food out here?" Nalu looked around seeing nothing wrong with the trash he sifted through everyday to find table scraps or leftovers. "Um...well...yeah..." Amox sighed. "Oh no no no no. I have got to teach you how to hunt. This is ridiculous." Nalu kept his ears down. "Is it bad to find food like this?" Aleks rolled his eyes. Poor naïve Nalu didn't know a thing about survival. In all honesty if this wolf taught him to hunt it'd be an amazing feat. "Well no but wouldn't you like to be able to eat something that hasn't been sitting in a tin can for days?" he shrugged. "I guess, but you wouldn't want to teach me..." Amox frowned. "Why wouldn't I? You obviously listen well and can pay attention and those are both extremely good skills for hunting." Nalu blinked in response. "Well yeah but I'm too clumsy. I'd only get in the way." Amox laughed. "That's fine! I can teach you." Nalu laughed a bit. "Heh...I'm not really worth teaching." Amox smiled and jumped onto one of the trash cans. "We will see."
A few moments later they were gathered back into one group and were slowly making their way to the place where Kodiak and Nalu called home. Under one of the houses was a large dirty piece of cloth that hung over the torn out part that lead to the underground part of the house. Nalu pushed the cloth aside with his muzzle to reveal a surprisingly clean make shift home. He had a small pile of blankets that didn't look too dirty and a bowl filled with clean water. The hole in the side of the house allowed plenty of light to seep through. Saba looked surprised. "Oh." Dingo raised an eyebrow in questioning. "Oh?" she shrugged. "I just assumed it wouldn't be this clean and well taken care of." she shifted her collar on her neck to a more comfortable position. Nalu rolled his eyes. "Well I like things clean." Dingo still looked confused. "Why haven't you ever let us see this place before? We go over to Kodi's all the time but you never invite us over here." Nalu shifted on his paws nervously. "I don't like a lot of people here is all. Can we go now?" He looked up at them all with pleading eyes. Aleu smiled. "Okay we'll go." She made to head towards the door but stopped and turned around. "Hey! Let's go for a run on the beach!"
A/N: So yes there's chapter 3. We have a new OC named Aleks! (it's pronounced Alex by the way) He's um...interesting later on haha XD Sorry I won't give anything else away. Chapter four may or may not be updated soon I dunno yet.
