Beta is a timberwolf with a black fur and the leading commander of Balto's spirit army

Chapter 10: "Balto's wrath!"

The next morning Jenna woke up to the sunlight falling into the cave and onto her eye.

She looked over to her side and saw Balto and while giving him a gentle nuzzle she said: "Good morning Balto"

Balto didn't react so Jenna presumed he was still sleeping. "I'll surprise him! This morning I will get breakfast!" Jenna gave Balto a gentle nuzzle and walked out of the cave.

Balto faking that he was sleeping, wanted to give Jenna the oppurtunity to get breakfast for them. He saw Jenna leave the cave and stood up to go outside and drink some water from the stream that came out of the waterfall in front of their den.

When he walked outside he saw Jenna turning around and looking at him. After a few seconds Jenna smiled at him and turned to run of into the forest.

But little did they both know what trouble lied ahead.

After 15 minutes Jenna arrived in the forest and started to look for rabbits. But strangely enough after half an hour she still didn't find or saw any rabbits. She decided to stop for a moment and take a rest at a small clearing in the forest. Jenna lied down and closed her eyes. Something was sneaking up to her and before she heard him coming Bela bit her over and over again. Jenna wanted to fight him but the wounds she had from the biting were already taking their toll.

Jenna still stood on her legs when Bela ran at her and broke one of her legs. After this Jenna collapsed and blacked out from the pain.

Bela looked at her and thought: "Serves you well! You shouldn't had taken the side of that despicable son of Aniu!". Bela then lifted her on his back and said to himself laughing like evil himself: "Now the alpha's must decide to kill Balto! They will never forgive him for this!"

After saying this he started his way running back to the den-site.

Back at the den-site of Balto and Jenna, Balto began to worry. He already said to himself that Jenna obviously would take more time then himself, but this was taking too long even for Jenna. Balto walked outside and started following her sent. After a little while he arrived at the clearing and immediately smelled the sent of a second wolf. After investigating the smells a little bit more he recognized the sent of Jenna and of "Bela". Balto was getting more furious with the second. And then he saw some blood lying a few inch from him. He came closer and smelled that it was Jenna's. Balto started to growl and think: "This is al my fault! Jenna I'm sorry!". After that he started to run to the den-site knowing that he wouldn't get a warm welcome.

Meanwhile Bela was talking with the alpha's

"He did what?!" Caleb asked Bela furious. Bela smiled inside of him. "Balto attacked Jenna while she was sleeping!". "Get all the warriors together, NOW!" Caleb commanded. The warriors that guarded the den-site were sitting in front of Caleb and Bela. "I've bin easy on Balto but this is the limit! When you lay eyes on him around out den-site you have the permission to take his life!" Caleb commanded the guards.

Meanwhile Balto was arriving at the den-site.

Caleb saw Balto arriving and ordered the warriors to kill him. The warriors started to run at Balto but he was already aware of what was happening. Balto got furious when he saw Bela standing next to Caleb. He never wanted to use this on his own family and friends but now it was necessary. He let out a howl. A howl with so much fury inside it the guards got a shiver down their spine. Then they saw wolves coming from everywhere and one walked up to Balto. "What do you need us for my liege?" Beta asked. "Keep the guards and all others at ease until we left here with Jenna" Balto said. "Of course" Beta replied.

Caleb looked to the army Balto had and thought by himself: "This isn't a normal army of flesh and blood, this is a spirit army! How did he recruit these men?!" Bela was scared of this knowing that Balto could wipe them al from this earth with just one command. Balto walked over to the healers den and saw what Bela had done to Jenna. Balto was even beyond furious. His wrath was bigger than anything else!

Balto commanded Beta that the plans had changed. He said to Beta: "Go till I need you again because this fight will be mine, I want to fight the men of this pack who have hurt me and the one I love so much!". "As you wish my liege" Beta replied after bowing down for him. Beta let out a long howl and all the other wolves disappeared with him.

Balto turned over to the men of the pack and yelled in his wrath: "You wanted to kill me! Well DO IT THEN!" The men of the pack ran towards him. Balto turned into a male lion. This time the numbers of the others didn't matter. His fury would help him trough this fight. Balto then ran towards them roaring like hell was going to rain upon them! Balto did exactly what Bela did to Jenna. He bit them over and over again and broke some of their legs. When the guards were unable to fight any more Balto looked over at Bela and yelled: "You see these men?! Just see and wait, this is nothing compared to what I am going to do to you!" Bela looked at him scared out of his wits! Then Balto turned back into himself.

Balto knew that nobody would interrupt him to get Jenna. Balto walked over to the healers den and walked over to Jenna. Jenna who woke up looked at him and smiled. Balto looked at her and started to cry and couldn't look at her out of shame. Balto finally looked at Jenna and said: "Jenna I am so sorry! This is all my fault! I should have protected you! And now this happened!". Jenna looked at him and gave him a nuzzle and said weakly: "Balto this wasn't your fault! Seeing that you are here says a lot! You came here to get me even when the whole pack is after you! So don't give me that I am happy that you are here!" Balto looked at her and said: "Well I better get you to Devil! I hope that he is in his cave!" Jenna closed her eyes knowing that she will be save with Balto.

Balto pulled Jenna onto his back and walked outside. He looked at everyone and said: "You see what disaster you all brought on yourself? And who is responsible for this? It is not me! It is the one that stands next to Caleb! The one you became to trust over me: Bela!" Nobody dared to look Balto in the eye. Balto looked at Caleb and said: "I will be back with the evidence for my innocence! And then think about what I said!" With this Balto ran of into the forest with Jenna on his back.

Balto ran through the forest towards the den of Devil.

You see Devil had a den where he would stay when he was on earth instead of the spirit world. It was a cave beneath a big oak tree. When Balto arrived he heard a voice out of the tree who said: "My son! What is it? I don't think you just came to see your father?" Devil walked outside of the cave and was shocked from what he saw! "What happened?!" Devil asked. "Bela got Jenna while she was sleeping!" Balto replied his father. Devil's normal friendly face went dark with anger. "He started to say some things in old wolf that came down to this: "Why do they need to follow this son of demons called Bela? Why don't they recognize light when it stands right in front of them?" Devil turned back into his friendly self and said Balto to lay Jenna down in his cave. Balto did and Devil asked Balto exactly the same as he asked Jenna: "Balto please get some leaves for me will you?"

Balto ran outside and got some leaves and brought them back to Devil. Devil then put them onto the wounds of Jenna ands said to Balto: "Please stand back a little". Balto stepped back and when Devil said the old wolf words like he had done with Balto the leaves went ablaze and the wounds were closing. Jenna woke up and looked at Balto and said: "Balto I'm cold" Balto was glad that Jenna's wounds were healed. He walked over to Jenna and snuggled up to her to keep her warm. Jenna pressed herself into Balto even more and said: "I love you Balto!" Balto looked over to her and replied: "I love you too!" Balto laid his head on her neck and they fell asleep. Devil smiled at the sight and disappeared of to the spirit world.
