This is the fifth chapter. Have fun.

After a day of fun in the garden, the night awaited by Daniel came. The boy had an idea , but that was risky.

Steele and his "friend" entered the house. It was late so they went to bed.

Steele was tired after a full day of running, and he quickly fell asleep.It was perfect for a boy.

It took some time, maybe an hour, Daniel pretended to be asleep because he did not want to arouse suspicion of Steele.

"Okay now, just get out quietly." Daniel thought .The boy did it without any sound. Fortunately for him, Steele was not sleep on him.

He quietly dressed, went down the stairs and left the house. He went in the circle of the beach. After a short time, he saw the abandoned fishing boat, the one Jenna was talking about. "Balto must live here," Daniel thought. He walked quietly aboard the ship. He saw something moving under the blanket in the cabin. When he wanted to come closer, the board under his foot made a loud sound. Balto jumped up from sleep and jumped on the boy.

"Do not hurt me!" Daniel shouted. Balto took control when he heard a familiar voice.

"Daniel, what are you doing here?" Balto asked.

"I came to you ... I need your help. When I woke up in the boiler room Steele told me that you threw the pipes on me ... this is not true? " Daniel asked uncertain.

"I did not do anything to you at that moment, I just came back with a medicine for sick children." Balto answered.

"I ... I did not know, but then who is Steele? Is he my dog?" Daniel asked curiously.

"No, Steele is not your dog, he was the one who led the dog team in the expedition for medicine ... they got lost in the mountains ... I found them, I wanted to help them, but Steele refused to fight and fell off the cliff ..." Balto replied.

"That's probably where he got his wounds ... he said you hurt him." Daniel said.

"I did not even want to fight ... when he fell I decided to lead the team to Nome, probably then he did something to you, he needed a place to live." Balto spoke.

As they were talking, it was snowing outside. A very strong wind broke out and snowstorm began.

"I should go see what's going on outside." Daniel interrupted the conversation.

"You better not go that too dangerous." Balto replied.

"I will stay until sunrise and I will go before Steele wakes up." Daniel said.

The boy lay under the blanket near Balto. He felt safe as the first night with Steele.

Daniel fell asleep quickly. He felt comfortable even though he was sleeping on the floor.

...

Daniel woke up through the morning chill.

"Balto, I have to go, Goodbye." Daniel told Balto.

"Be careful, you do not know what Steele is capable of." Balto replied.

After a few minutes Daniel came home.

Silently, he climbed the stairs. He quietly opened the door. He saw that there was no one in the bed.

Steele was sitting on the desk looking out the window towards Balto's boat.

Well, well, well ... How was Balto's boat? "Steele said.

"I care for you, I look after you, and you go to this wolfdog." Steele continued, "You failed me ... you..YOU TRAITOR!"

Steele jumped off the desk and slowly approached the boy. Daniel stumbled back and staggered backwards.

"And I was beginning to like you ... I even wondered if I was doing well ..." Steele spoke disappointed, showing his teeth more and more. He walked up until Daniel was not against the wall. Steele's face was close to the boy's face. He looked into the boy's eyes. Daniel saw the rage in Steele's eyes.

"It was not like that ... Steele my friend ..." Daniel replied desperately.

"Too late to explain ... it will teach you obedience." Steele swung his paw and clawed Daniel's cheek so that blood began to flow.

"Ahh .. Steele, how could you ... protect me ... you were supposed to be a friend." Daniel replied.

"You will not be safe if you do not be obedient to me ." And besides, I do not need friends, and certainly not like you. " Steele replied looking and laughing at the boy's eyes.

"I thought ..." Daniel began.

"You were wrong." Steele responded and spat in Daniel's face.

"Stand up, kid." One more vice and it will end up worse for you. "Steele said while turning around. He returned on the desk and looked out the window. "And it could have been so beautiful ... but as usual, this stupid Balto must disturb me"

To be continued...

Chapter a little longer, it seems to me that it is important because it shows how really Steele is. Write your opinion.

I did not expect the next chapter to come out so quickly. It's because I've had so much time today. I think it's cool.
