Dax the metalhead - I'm not sure how to spell Anaiu's name, and I thought this looked right :). I'm gonna stick with this spelling for now until I find out for sure that it's spelled the other way, but thank you!
Melee Master1 - I'm glad that you like this story, but when I looked at your profile there wasn't anything in there about you liking Balto. Did you just now start to like it? Well, anyway, I'm glad you like this, and thank you SOOOOO much for putting it on your faves!
On to chappie 6! Oh, and I finished my Phil of the Future fic, so I'll have more time for this one now. Enjoy!
Chapter 6
With every ounce of his strength, Balto struggled to his feet. He fell a few times, but he eventually got up and started a slow walk.
After about five minutes, he began to walk normally. With the images of all who loved him, something deep inside him told him to keep going. So now, he ran.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Steele and Aleu were trying to find shelter.
"There are no dang-blasted caves around here? You have got to be kidding me!" Steele said angrily.
"Are we gonna freeze?" Aleu asked worriedly.
"Well, I won't. But YOU might if I find just enough shelter for me."
Aleu growled at him with a cold glare that made Steele turn away. He had to admit to himself that he was a little afraid of her.
Finally Steele found some shelter. Luckily, it was big enough to hold them both.
They settled in and then Steele said, "Well, looks like you lucked out, half-breed."
"Yeah, I... guess I did," she said as she looked down at the snow.
Steele looked at him with hurt in his eyes. But he shook it off soon after and he laid down on the very opposite corner of the cave. Aleu went to te other side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balto decided to find shelter for the night also, so he found a very small cave that was connected to Steele's and Aleu's. But none of the three knew this yet.
Balto was a bit afraid to be in the cave alone, but he braved it out and he laid down at the very back so he would be safe from any harm. He fell asleep within a matter of a minute.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Steele, can I ask you a question?" Aleu asked.
"Depends," he replied, his eyes still closed.
Aleu just came out with her question. "What do you think you're gaining from this?"
Steele just looked at her a bit uncertainly.
"Why are you kidnapping me? Do you think this is any way for my mom to fall for you?"
Steele's eyes grew wide. It was as if she could read his thoughts.
Aleu just looked at him, awaiting her answer. He said nothing. She just looked at him with sad eyes, and he gazed back. She turned away and tried to go to sleep.
"Just something to think about, Steele."
They both said nothing more.
End of Chapter 6
Okay, sorry it was REALLY short, but I didn't really have any ideas, so... yeah. Review, please!
