Chapter 7: Big Bad Pup.

It was early morning in the Simpson home. Kodi had begun his training to become a sled dog along with his friends and his enemy. Kodi knew that Metal was up to something because Metal had been extra quiet for the past few hours. Kodi walked into his master's kitchen to find his eight year old son sitting at the table. The young boy reached down to pet Kodi and then picked him up.

"Good boy Kodi. You want to go play?" The young boy said happily. Kodi barked in response and licked the boys face. "Okay boy, lets go upstairs and I'll take Metal along so you're not lonely."

Kodi's heart dropped out of his chest. He knew that if Metal was alone in a room with him, he would beat him up for sure. Kodi whimpered lightly and stayed in the boys arms, knowing that struggling wasn't in his best interest. The boy picked up both dogs and took them up to his bedroom. The boy set both pups on his bed and was about to play with them when Mr. Simpson called him downstairs. The boy ran downstairs leaving both pups on his bed. Metal gave Kodi a devilish glare and walked towards him.

"Metal, please, leave me alone." Kodi said desperately.

"I don't think so runt." Metal said. Metal slashed Kodi across the face as hard as he could and ripped a hole in his muzzle. Kodi curled up in a ball and whimpered loudly. Metal was about to attack him again when the boy walked in the room.

"Kodi, what's wrong?" The boy said picking up the small dog. The boy looked at Kodi's muzzle and walked out of the room with him, leaving Metal behind. As Kodi was carried off, he looked back to see Metal smiling evilly.

Mr. Simpson took Kodi in his arms and looked at his muzzle. Since Mr. Simpson used to be a vet, he knew how to treat such things. Mr. Simpson cleaned out the wound and wrapped a small bandage around his muzzle. Mr. Simpson was trying to figure out what could've happened to him but, when he saw Metal walk downstairs, he immediately knew what had happened and he called his son over immediately.

"Son, keep these two away from each other, they don't get along." Mr. Simpson said.

"Okay dad." The boy said.

Mr. Simpson picked up Kodi and took him to the training yard where the dogs were to start training. He put Kodi on the ground to get to know the new dogs around him. The dogs gave him weird looks and starting to make fun of the bandage on his muzzle.

"Hey look at him!." One dog said.

"He looks so funny!" Another yelled out.

Kodi started to tear up and he ran off to one of the corners. Metal watched as Kodi was made fun of and he smiled devilishly at the sight of it, his plan was working.

Kodiwolf321, you're up, Steelefan, out.

Steele sits in the doctor's office waiting for his master to show up. Steele layed there thinking of Balto wondering if they will ever make up, Steele then heard the door opening it was his master and the doctor Steele then looked away as his master walked up to the table with a frown on his face. "So what's the deal with him?" Steel's master asked the doctor looked at Steele's master. "Well looks like he twisted his ankle," the doctor said looking at Steele.

Steele didn't look at his master the whole time he was inside the doctor's office. Steele master then picked him up carefully and put him the truck. His master then jumped in the truck and didn't look at him but talked to him on the way back home. "Well Steele you really done it this time to yourself," Steele master said while backing up. The truck then stopped then they were on their way home. Steele looked away from his master again.

"I was about to let you get back on the team and this is what you do to me?" Steele master said Steele felt like barking in anger but where would that's get him. "Well I can tell you this… you're not going anywhere for a few days so that's that," Steele's master said and ended it there for the night.
