Kodi regained consciousness.
"Wow, I'm a genius aren't I?" Kodi said.
He's been a sled dog for a year and a half now, but this is the first time he's ever ran into a fricken tree. He got back onto his paws to hear some rumbling in the leaves. His ears perked up and he kept a solid stance. Keeping frozen, he heard the object move closer to him.
"Nope!" Kodi yelled as he went for a dead sprint.
Aleu heard a voice yell that feet away from her. Who was there!? Was it a fighter or a runner? Last thing she needed was a fight. She did need to open herself up, however. She hadn't gone for a run for a few days now. She looked over at the red blur, then chased it down.
"It's a fox! Those pests are all the same!"
She bolted after the red blur and eventually was on his tail. It was a male husky. It wasn't even a fox. She couldn't even keep up with him. He has a familiar scent. Wait a minute… she dug her paws into the ground to stop herself.
Kodi could sense his pursuer had given up. Never try to chase a sled dog! He'll outrun you any day! Now he should taunt his pursuer! He took a quick circle, then passed the grayish-brown wolf dog.
"HEY!" Aleu yelled.
Kodi got her scent. He came to a stop. That scent… why was it… could it be!? Kodi turned around and slowly made his way towards her. It was her! His lost sister!
"Kodi!"
"Aleu!?"
They inched closer to each other. They were reunited! They found each other!
"Is that you, Kodi?"
"This is too good to be true! I…"
They both formed a huge smile on their faces and let tears drop. They ran to each other and nudged each other.
"I missed you, Aleu!"
"I missed you too, Kodi! It's so great to see you!"
They cried their tears of joy into each other's shoulders. Thinking they wouldn't see each other again, here they are two years later.
"Where's the rest of your pack?"
"That's… I don't know. I lost them."
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that!"
"It's fine. How's papa?"
"He's great! So is mom!"
"What about good old Dingo?"
"He and I are butts to each other. That's how close we are."
"Saba?"
"She's not really the nicest of dogs. She's gotten stuck up the rich family that adopted her."
Alue couldn't believe her favorite brother was right in front of her. She didn't care about Dingo or Yukon as much as she did Kodi.
"Nunivat was the other sister's name, right?"
"Yup. She's living hell right now. You know how you didn't ever get a human? Well she got one, but he walked away from her."
"What's it like having a human?"
"The other four have pups. I'm the only one with a grown human. You'd get different answers from…"
She nuzzled on him. She couldn't be happier to be back home! She didn't want to go back to her pack! Her mate can take care of the pack. Somehow she wasn't pregnant. How though? They tried probably 3 times.
"Take me home, Kodi!"
"Will do, Aleu! Will do!"
"Tomorrow, though! I'm tired."
"Quite honestly, I was unconscious, so I g…"
She knocked him onto the ground. She held onto him tight! She wasn't going to let go and lose him again.
"Awkward…" Kodi said to himself.
He wrapped his arms around her. She rested her head onto his chest and neck. He covered her head with his.
Like old times! It seemed like just yesterday when they were cuddled up next to their mother with their other brothers and sisters. They were coming upon three years old now. For two years, they haven't seen each other. For two years, they have been cuddled up with others at night. Aleu with her mate, and Kodi with Kirby, Dusty, and Ralph.
"I love you, Kodi!"
"I love you too, Aleu!"
They both drifted to sleep.
