Chapter 10. Arrival In Nenana
For the next two days Balto and Jenna traveled through the cave and the cave seemed to be endless.
The cave was infested with spiders Jenna fell on a human skeleton and a spider came crawling out of the skull making her have a nightmare about spiders that night and one time Balto fell into a spider web and he had spiders crawling all over him.
"Balto are we there yet I don't want anything to do with these spiders anymore." Jenna said.
"Jenna I can see a light I think we're almost there." Balto said.
Balto and Jenna kept walking toward the light hoping that it got them somewhere.
when they walked out Balto and Jenna squinted because they got used to being in the dark for so long.
when their eyes adjusted Balto and Jenna then saw a welcome sign and a town not too far from where they were standing.
The sign read: "Welcome To Nenana, Alaska".
"Oh Balto we did it!" Jenna said with joy as she nuzzled Balto tenderly.
"And we're now safe from those two monsters Steele and Elizabeth." Balto said nuzzling Jenna back.
After they parted from the nuzzle Balto and Jenna got back on track.
"Alright Jenna lets go find those friends of yours." Balto said.
Jenna nodded and she took the lead and the two dogs walked into Nenana.
A few minutes later...
15 minutes later...
The two reached a small blue shed which surprisingly working electricity
"Are you sure this is it Jenna?" Balto asked, examining the house
"Yup, this is it, it might look small but you'll adjust to it eventually." Jenna said smiling
"Alright, well here goes..." Balto said scratching the door
A brown doberman opened the door, and looked at Jenna, "Well hey there Jen! It's been too long, who's your friend?" the doberman asked
"Hi Diego, well this is more of my boyfriend and we were hoping to stay here for awhile, we have two dogs out to get us and we would just feel safer away from home." Jenna said
"Well that'd be fine with me! Hey Farrah, get over here!" Diego called out
Farrah walked to the door, "Oh, hello Jenna, what brings you here?" Farrah asked
"They need to stay here, they got two dogs after 'em and they'd feel safer here." Diego said
"Oh well that'd be just fine! We're gettin' lonely around here anyhow." Farrah said, welcoming the two into the house
"I can't thank you guys enough for this, how can we repay you?" Balto asked
"Well you could start by telling us your name!" Diego said with a smile
"Oh, i'm Balto, nice to meet you Diego!" Balto exclaimed, holding his paw out for a shake
"Nice to meet ya!" Diego said, accepting the gesture
"I'm Farrah, pleased to meet you Balto!" Farrah said
"Just set up anywhere you'd like, you can sleep in front of the fire or back in the corner, just wherever makes you comfortable." Diego said.
That Night...
That Night Jenna was sound asleep curled up in Balto's embrace, Balto however was wide awake.
Balto smiled as he listened to Jenna's deep breath.
"She looks prettier in her sleep." Balto said to himself.
"Hey Balto its nearly midnight what are you up doing this late?" Ferrah asked as she walked up to Balto.
"Well I've been thinking." Balto said stroking his sleeping girlfriend's soft red fur.
"About what?" Farrah asked Balto.
"Alright Farrah you can't tell Jenna about this." Balto said seriously.
"Are you cheating on her?" Farrah asked with an angry look on her face.
"What no I'm not cheating on Jenna, I'm thinking about proposing to Jenna." Balto replied.
"You mean you want..." Farrah started.
"Yes I want Jenna to be my mate." Balto said with a smile.
"Oh really congrats." Farrah said.
"Thanks still you can't tell Jenna about it I want it to be a surprise." Balto said.
"When are you gonna propose?" Farrah asked.
"I don't know yet but maybe sometime this week." Balto replied.
"Alright now you go ahead and get some rest." Farrah said.
"Alright then goodnight Farrah." Balto said.
"Goodnight, and Balto thank you for being a good friend to Jenna." Farrah said.
"Your welcome I was just doing what anyone could have done." Balto replied.
Farrah then left the room and Balto yawned he then rested his jaw on Jenna's head and he closed his eyes and he fell asleep after a long tiring journey.
Meanwhile back at Nome...
"Where have those two been? I didn't think they were serious!" Elizabeth said
"Looks like they were Liz, and now it's our turn for our next move." Steele said with an evil look in his eye
"What are you thinking?" Elizabeth asked curiously
"Well, they aren't the only ones who know good people in Nenana." Steele said
"Hmm, who are they Steely?" Elizabeth asked
"Well, they were a few of my old alleyway buddies who I hung out with a lot when I was just a pup." Steele said
"What are their names?" Elizabeth asked
"Jacob, another husky like me and Ryo, a grey wolf who has his own clan being put together." Steele said
"Sounds like good people to get our paws dirty with huh Steely?" Elizabeth said in an evil soft voice
"That's right Lizzy, more people to get our paws dirty." Steele said
"Lizzy huh? I like that name Steely, want to enjoy our last night in Nome for a little while?" Elizabeth asked
"I like the sound of that." Steele said, nuzzling Elizabeth.
A/N drewdog302: Looks like Elizabeth and Steele still have some of those ambitions in mind and I'm pretty sure you folks are shocked that Steele and Elizabeth are now boyfriend and girlfriend.
