Chapter 12:Competition

Balto and Aniu entered the den. "What shall we do now, Mom?" Balto asked when lying next to his mother. "We will stay so that you can say goodbye to Daro, and that you can see his fight ..." "But what then?" "... we will find that asshole who is called as your father. I will kick his ass for being such a dick and for not coming. And then he will have to help us." Aniu said and put his head on the front paws. "If dad is such an asshole, will he help us?" Balto asked. "He won't have a choice," Aniu said. "Mom! I can't believe it! How could Alpha say it all and banish you !?" Lisa said as she entered the den and immediately hugged her mother. "Don't worry Lisa. You can take care of yourself. Indi will help you, after all she needs you, and soon she will need you more." Aniu said when she nuzzled Lisa. "But how could Alpha do this to you ?!" Lisa said in anger. "You don't know Damis as good as me, exile is the lightest punishment ..." Aniu said. "Mom, but I don't want you to leave..." Lisa said. "Don't worry, Damis is angry but he'll pass, he'll let me come back because he needs me, and then I'll convince him to let Balto come back." Aniu said confidently. "But what will happen to Balto at that time?" Lisa asked. "I will lead Balto to your father, he will have to take care of him in time as long as Damis doesn't change his mind or stay alive." Aniu said. "But how will I know that I can come back?" Balto asked. "I'll come for you," Aniu said. "Okay mum," Balto replied.

"My God, what happened there? I'm so sorry, Aniu." Daro said when he entered the den. "Hi sweetie," Lisa said and kissed Daro's cheek. "Is there anything between you two that I don't know about?" Balto asked with smile. "Yes Balto, me and your sister are a couple ... I hope this is not a problem for you," Daro said when standing close to Lisa. "Problem? Of course not ... I'm glad you're happy," Balto said with a slight smile. "I'm glad you don't mind being a couple with your sister," Daro said. The incoming Damis interrupted a nice conversation. "Daro! What are you doing in the den of these exiles ?! You got your own den, take Lisa and go to sleep," Damis said when he saw Daro and Lisa in Aniu's den. "What?" Aniu asked surprised. "I am Daro's girlfriend, and from now on I live with him in a high position wolves district ..." Lisa said. "And Angela lives with Helles. Only you and your son are left here, fortunately not for long." Damis said. "Good night, mother," Lisa said and along with Daro went to their den. "You have always been important and necessary to me, but I realized that you were only disturbing me. I don't know how but I will try to make you never come back even if one of my sons takes over the leadership," Damis said when looking at Aniu. "... the same applies to you." Alpha said when he looked at Balto, and then he left without a word. "It seems we are alone," Aniu said and closed his eyes. "Yes ... alone," Balto said and fell asleep lying in his mother's fur.

The next morning

"Wake up Balto! It's already morning, the competition will start soon ..." Aniu said when she looked at the sleeping Balto. "I don't want to go there ..." Balto said with his eyes still closed. "I understand you, but Lisa and Daro are there and they need you to be there and cheer them ..." Aniu said and licked Balto's head. "Okay, mom, let's go," Balto said as he stood up and began to stretch.

When they left the burrow they saw that all the wolves were walking towards the northern border of the wolf valley. "Let's go sweetheart," Aniu said and followed the other wolfs.

"Hi mama, hi Balto!" Lisa said with a smile, she smiled though she knew that these were the last moments with Balto and probably with her mother. "Hi," "Hi sweetheart," Balto and Aniu replied. "Where is Daro?" Balto asked when he started looking around. "He went to talk to Helles," Lisa said in disgust. "I see him, he is coming towards us," Aniu said when she saw Daro. "Hello everyone," Daro said as he approached. "Hello Daro, how are you doing?" Aniu said. "I'm doing pretty well ... everything is easier since I have someone I can depend on," Daro said and nuzzled Lisa. Balto looked timidly at Daro with sadness in his heart at the thought of seeing his friend for the last time. "Do you already have a hunting team?" Aniu asked when looking at two young wolves. "I persuaded my dad to make option to start in pairs this year ..." Daro said. "... If it was possible, it would be a trio ..." Lisa said when she looked at Balto, who smiled slightly to show that he appreciated these words, although it hurt him that he could not take part and go hunting with Lisa and Daro. "Don't worry Balto. I promise we'll make up for it in the future." Daro said with a slight smile. "Yeah," Balto replied, still with a slight smile.

When Damis sat on the fallen tree on the border of the Wolf Valley, everyone fell silent. "Hello everyone! Welcome at the next competition for young wolves! This year, duets can also participate in hunting." Damis said and looked at Daro. "Okay, but first let all the young wolves come out and stand in the middle... go ahead and show yourself... *clears throat* but only real wolves." Damis said as he looked at Balto in disgust. "You know your teams. Now all you have to do is track down the animal and bring it here, dead." Damis said as he looked at the young wolves. "You must make it before sunset, or you will face the moon's punishment." Damis said and howled to signal the start of the competition.

Everyone set off in different directions to the north. "Daro wait," Lisa said when she stopped. "What is it, we don't have time," Daro said. "Most run north, some run west, so let's run east, there will be more animals for us." Lisa said as she watched everyone rush away. "It's a great idea, good that I have you," Daro said with a smile and started running east with Lisa. "Yeah, that's a great idea ..." Angela repeated as she and Helles watched Lisa and Daro run east.

"Wait, I think I sensed something." Daro said. "What?" Lisa asked when she looked at Daro sniffing the ground. "I caught scent, scent of caribou," Daro said and started to follow the scent. "Great!" Lisa cheered. "Let's go, we don't have much time, and it may take some time to knock down a caribou," Daro said and started running, and Lisa followed him.

When they followed the scent they reached the mountainous part of the forest, they walked along the ledge on the left with a mountain wall and on the right the river a few meters below the ledge. "Do you see how romantic it is here? The whole ledge of flowers overgrown ... this beautiful river ... and this view of the mountains ..." Lisa said as she admired the surroundings. "Shhh Lisa, I know it's beautiful here, but I think we're approaching this caribou," Daro said and went into the bush. "Look Lisa, it's our lucky day ... we have an old caribou here, it won't be a problem to hunt him down," Daro said as he watched the caribou eat grass. "What is our plan?" Lisa asked when she looked at Daro. "I will run to his left and you to his right and then we will try to grab his throat," Daro said, Lisa nodded in response. "Three, two, one ... go!" When Daro shouted, he started running with Lisa on both sides of the caribou. Daro made the first attempt to knock down the caribou, but he failed to catch the caribou's throat, so he grabbed his skin on his stomach. Then Lisa bit the caribou's throat, and she make him fell towards her. Lisa backed away too far, for now shes hanging at the edge of a ledge a few meters above the river. "Daro! Help me!" Lisa screamed as she tried to return to the ledge. Daro leaped toward Lisa and began to try to pull her back. "Hold on!" Daro shouted as he caught Lisa's arm in his teeth. "Ahh! It hurts!" Lisa screamed. "Maybe I can help you?" Said Helles standing behind Daro. "Yes! Help me brother!" Daro said when he thought Lisa was slipping. "I've always wanted to do this," Helles said and pushed Daro and Lisa off the cliff into the river. "Thanks for the caribou pussies!" Angela said and started laughing.

As soon as they fell into the river, a strong current swept them away. Daro emerged to the surface of the water and looked for Lisa. "Lisa! Where are you!" Daro shouted in terror. "Daro!" Lisa screamed as she surfaced from water. "Watch out for the rocks behind you!" Daro said too late, Lisa hit her head on a rock and lost consciousness. "No, Lisa!" Daro shouted and started swimming towards the unconscious mate. "Lisa, snowflake... wake up!" Daro said when he approached Lisa. Suddenly Daro heard the loud sound of falling water. Oh fuck ... "Daro said when he saw the waterfall in front of him.

To be continued...

Okay, that's all for today, I will try to share the next chapter this week, but I don't promise that I will manage, if the chapter does not appear in the week it will be available next Sunday / Monday.

Yours reviews:

JustASteveGut: "Lookin' forward to the next one, and our future collaboration!"

I can't wait for that too! I just have to end this story, there are only few more chapters to go. :)

Titanflame: "So...at the moon festival Lisa and Angela will compete in a fight to the death. The tension is in the air.

Great chapter as always my friend."

Yeah, they will fight... but I'm not sure is any one will die... Thank you for great support!

Arika Koski: "Sad chapter ever. I frigging can't stand Angela or Damis! Angela should kill herself all she wants! Sorry I was mad because I can't stand these two and Damis is such a asshole with mental illness."

Yup, that's right, although I will tell you that initially Damis was supposed to be a good friend to Aniu, and he was about to make Balto stay in the wolf valley, but as I was writing I decided to make him a villain. Either way, I'm glad you're very involved in the story.

Whitewolf1224: "It was as I predicted!. Angela should be ashamed of her self to do this to her family, I hope that Lisa beats the living daylights out of her at the moon festival in front of her little pitiful boyfriend!. I figured Lisa won't kill her though because when Balto talks to Daro in ch1, he asked Balto if he wanted to see his sisters which insinuates that both of them are alive in the present world. I wonder though how things turned out after Daro became alpha? if Lisa became his mate and if Angela gets humbled or is still acting like a bitch. I wonder what the spirit being was that was going after Angela and helles? perhaps it's vengeful for what they both did in the past , it'll be interesting to see what will happen next.

Damis is a first class asshole, showing favoritism towards Jax's eventual kids when he could've helped Balto out too. A Part of me believes that Balto would've been screwed either way cause if his dad would've showed up then Damis most likely kills him anyway since he looks down on dogs, poor Balto though it's not fair to him or Aniu for Damis to discriminate against them like that

Keep up the good work! :)."

Okay, the first thing I have to say is ... Wow! Thank you. You are always very involved in my story. Whenever I publish a new chapter, I am waiting to read your thoughts or what you have noticed. To be honest, reading your reviews always makes my day better. :)

I know that Angela and Helles will be punished, but for now I do not know how... The life story of Lisa, Daro, Angel, Helles and others will be explained in the second part of the story.

As for Damis, you're right, completely, as I said to ArikaKoski at first, Damis was supposed to be good for Bato and Aniu, but I thought he was a better villain. To be honest, I didn't think in such a way about the option of what would happen if Balto's father came, but you can believe me that from the way I imagined him there is no option that he would come, he is a real asshole, I wonder what will you say about him, when I'll write chaper about that. Thank you so much!
