Chapter six

Sonja yawned and got up from her bed and looked around. Where was Dan? She looked out the door to see Daniel outside staring at the sky. She went out and waited for a couple of minutes before saying "what are you doing?"

Daniel turned to face her "looking at the sky, what does it look like I'm doing?"

Sonja chuckled and looked up with him. Even though there was the morning, she could still see the moon. Was that what he was looking at? She dismissed it and went back inside. She had a dream last night of her and Daniel, they were on stage and they were both happy. Whether it was just a wish shown in a dream, or whether it would happen, or already has. Sonja didn't know. Daniel walked in and took off his hoody and sat down on the couch.

"done staring at the sky already?" Sonja said joking.

Daniel didn't find it funny. He just kept staring at the ground "Sonja... I think that something big is going to happen..."

"like what wolf?" Sonja said taking a step forward

"like a fight, a big one" Daniel said leaning back "one between two big dogs, but I'm not sure" He said reaching down and petting her "you now, I'm going to miss being able to do this!"

"who says you can't do it when we get back home?" Sonja said closing her eyes

"don't know Sonja" Daniel said leaning forward "anyway, I'm going to go wolf and meet you at Balto's boat okay?"

Sonja nodded and Daniel left to go to the cave. She turned around to see David just walking in the room, yawning.

"hey girl! Wheres Dan going?" he said "ah well, he'll be back...at least he better, I got work for him!" he said going into the dinning room.

Daniel finally got to the cave and became the wolf. This time hopefully he wouldn't get dunked by those bears. He began to walk to Balto's boat when he saw a big looking dog. He decided to ignore it and kept walking to Balto's home and eventually got there.

"hey Balto!" Daniel yelled running up the ramp to his boat "whats up?"

"you mean other than the sky?" Balto said smiling.

Daniel then noticed Jenna and Sonja talking about something.

"whats with them?" Daniel asked

Balto looked over "oh, well ever since Sonja came here Jenna has been like a mother to her, and now that she has a boy friend..."

Daniel cut him off "shes giving Sonja the talk?" Balto nodded "your not going to do the same are you?"

"no, I think you already know that stuff" Balto said "or do you?"

"Yea I know all about that stuff, I learned it from my ex girlfriends mom about fifty separate times" Daniel said getting up "now Balto if you'll excuse me"

He walked up to Sonja and yelled "TOLD YOU I WOULD SEE YOU!"

She jumped and turned around and pounced on him "DAMN IT DAN! DON'T PULL THAT SHIT AGIAN!" she yelled

Daniel sat there a minute with his back to the wood and said "you know this is really sexy Sonja"

She blushed and got off of him.

"sorry Sonja" Daniel said "anyway I saw some new dog, any one meet him?"

Sonja blinked nervously "yea, I saw him" she said

"Really what did he say? Whats his name?" Daniel asked excitingly

"his name is Dusk" replied Jenna "and he tried to make a move on Sonja"

Daniel froze "he what!"

"he tried to make a move on me, but I told him to take a hike and..."

"you are still the most B-E-A-U-tiful thing I have ever seen, I'm sorry who are YOU wolf boy!" the dog said

"the names Daniel tailraiser!" he replied

"whoa, kitty got claws!" he replied

"I'm sorry snot bag whats your name?" Daniel asked bearing his teeth

"HA!" He said "like your worthy to know!"

"this is Rust Daniel" Sonja said "this is the bastard that tried to make a move!"

Daniel lost it, he just snapped. He lunged at the dog who proceeded to bat him away with his paw and continue to move towards Sonja. This made Daniel even more furious and he charged Rust biting him on the ankle.

"So thats how you want to play huh!" Rust yelled "well try this on for size!"

He spun around causing Daniel's teeth to cut his skin, but also causing Daniel to spin backwards. Rust then jumped on him and bit his throat. Strugling Daniel attempted a move he learned as a human and managed to sloppily pull it off. He now had a couple of teeth marks on his throat though.

"how did you do that!" Rust exclaimed "thats impossible!"

Sonja watched in horror as Daniel and Rust fought. One by one they spilled blood. Biting, clawing, kicking punching, whatever they could do to cause damage. Eventually Daniel was standing on top of Rust and he made a move for his throat when he slashed his stomach first. Causing the worn out hound a great deal of pain. He then reached for his ear and said.

"don't mess with me or Sonja!" and got off of him.

What Daniel didn't see in his blind rage, was that Rust was hardly breathing. Sure Daniel was limping but Rust had a couple broken bones and was even bleeding in more places than Daniel.

"DANIEL WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Sonja screamed "THIS IS WHAT YOU DO WHEN I CAN HANDLE MYSELF!"

Daniel began to cower and back up as Sonja advanced "Listen! I'm all for defending yourself! But you almost killed him!"

"Sonja I'm...I'm" Daniel shuddered

"you're what? Not sorry? Glad? Hm!" Sonja said almost yelling

"I lost it Sonja... I'm sorry, consider me out of your life if thats what you want, or not, thats your call. But I'm still going back when I get the chance. And if you don't want too, than thats your call" and with that, he walked away.

Balto couldn't believe what he had just seen. Daniel had just attacked Rust! That wasn't like him, the Daniel he grew to know wouldn't have even thought of coming that close to killing another dog, let alone fight one. He watched him leave and looked at Sonja, she was crying. Rust got up and smiled.

"guess hes not man enough to finish the job!"

This made Daniel stop. He looked over and shook his head before going back to his cave, probably to change back to his human form.

"yea thats what I thought! So Sonja? Ready to get cozy?"

"back off Rust" Jenna and Balto said stepping in front of her "go home!"

"Fine, you'll regret what you missed out on!" he said limping off.

Balto watched the dog walk off. He went over to Sonja and began to talk. He then wondered if he should have talked to Daniel, or should go find him. He decided against it.

"you going to talk to him later?"

She looked at him and said "I don't know what I would say"

"how about you tell him what you think?" Balto replied

"because it might hurt him if I tell him the truth" she said

"no Sonja, it would hurt him to lie to him"

"well..." she began "I guess your right, ill go talk to him"

Daniel sat with his head in his hands. What had he done? Why did he go crazy? It didn't matter anymore, he had hurt his chances with Sonja, and not to mention everyone else. He laid back and listened to a soft voice.

"what where you thinking?"

"that I was doing the right thing" Daniel replied looking around to see Sonja sitting by the couch he was lying on.

"I'm grateful that you did that, but I'm also confused why you would do that so out of the blue!" Sonja said

"Sonja, I will understand if you want to break up now" Daniel said getting up "after what I've done"

"No Daniel, I just want a reasonable explanation" Sonja said getting up and putting her two front paws on Daniels side.

"Sonja, I was just mad that he would even consider doing something like that without asking you if you already had a boyfriend! Oh man I sound like and idiot...I can't explain it Sonja" Daniel said getting up "I'm going out for a bit, see ya later Sonja" And he left.
