"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Chapter IV: Some secrets shouldn't be kept
Dingo woke up early to prepare for the journey to find and kill the person who made his sister's life hell. Dingo was sitting there, looking off in the distance when he heard someone walking up behind him, he quickly turned around, "Who's there?" dingo saw it was just Ember, "Oh, it's only you, what are you doing up this early?" Dingo asked. Ember smiled, "I could ask you the same thing silly, it's just now dawn, why so early?" Dingo said in his mind, "Damn, of all people she had to ask, I just don't want her to come along and get hurt let alone have her worrying about me. Maybe I should tell her? No, I just don't want her to worry so much." Dingo put on his best fake smile and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I had another dream and was about to go see Boris." Dingo lied. "Looks like Boris was right, every dream does have a meaning. Come on, let's go see him."
Ember and Dingo set off to Balto's house to find Boris and tell him about this mysterious dream that Dingo kept having for two nights now. But, little did Dingo know of the mistake he just made.
(Kodi's POV)
Kodi woke up about 15 minutes later and looked around to find Dingo so they could start the journey, "Hmm, he isn't here? Surely he didn't leave without all of us, especially Saba. Maybe he's outside?" Kodi said to himself. Kodi went outside hoping that his brother was out there, "He isn't out here either? He couldn't have gone to Dad's." Kodi quickly spotted some paw prints in the snow which led north, "That jerk! He did leave without us, time to get Saba and Yuke up and go find him!" Kodi went inside the shed and woke Saba up first, "Huh? Oh, good morning Kodi, is it time to go?" Saba said still half-asleep. "Apparently so, Dingo left without us!" Saba jumped up, "What?! He'll die if he goes alone! My owners carry a shotgun with them, they'll shoot him for sure!" Saba said, worried for her brother. "Well then let's wake Yuke up and let's go! We can't let him die, we almost lost you had we not found you, and we can't lose Dingo now that he has a mate and pups!" Kodi walked over to Yukon and woke him up, "Kodi? What's up, is it time to leave? Where's Dingo, I don't see him anywhere?" Kodi quickly said, "Dingo left without us, come on! He'll die if he goes alone according to Saba!" Yukon woke up fully and ran off to find Dingo with the others.

Balto's House
07:45 a.m.
"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Dingo and Ember arrived at Balto's house and saw Boris cleaning the deck as always. Dingo walked up the ramp and called out to Boris, Boris heard him and turned around to greet them, "Oh, hey boychick. What brings you here, having dream again?" Boris asked.
"Yeah, only this time Kodi, Yukon, and Saba were running with me." Boris knew what this was, "I knew it, your dreams are foreshadowing something, are you going anywhere with them?" Dingo sighed and thought to himself, "I knew I'd have to tell her sometime, I hope they aren't awake yet." Dingo explained the situation to Boris.
Ember quickly butted in, "Dingo, why didn't you tell me? I would have offered help to you, why'd you lie to me?" Dingo felt ashamed but knew in his head he only did it to protect her, "Ember, I'm sorry I lied to you, but I didn't want you getting involved in this one, I almost lost my sister, I couldn't think about losing you too." Dingo started to tear up, Ember licked the tears off his face and said in a soft voice, "Dingo, I know you want to protect me, but what would happen if I lost you? Who'd take care of the pups?" Dingo thought about it, "At least they'll still have you, if I'm killed then my brothers and sister die with me, I just don't want you to get hurt is all." Ember wanted to go, but she couldn't because of the pups, "Alright, I understand, but promise me one thing. I want you to come back alive, if you die then I die." Dingo nodded and they headed back to his mom's house

Jenna's House – Shed
08:11 p.m.
"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Dingo and Ember walked inside of Jenna's shed when they noticed that Jenna was the only one inside, "What? Where'd they go? Surely they didn't leave already!" Dingo said panicking, he thought to himself, "Dammit! Why didn't I just tell her in the first place! If I didn't lie to her this wouldn't have happened!" Ember looked worried and asked, "Dingo, where'd they go? If they left by now, they must already be close to Nenana." Dingo said, "Yeah, we need to go, NOW!"
The two ran off following Kodi, Yukon, and Saba's trail. Only time will tell what happens next.
