Balto 5 chapter 7
"Were could those two have gone." thought Balto. "Hi Balto is Aleu still here?" asked Jenna as she walked up the plank onto the boat. "No, Kodiak and Aleu are both gone they must have left while I was asleep." replied Balto angry at himself. "Do you know were they went, are you going to follow them." asked Jenna a little nervous. "Yes I will follow them, and I have a rough idea were they might have gone." replied Balto thinking about the unfamiliar smell that he had smelt last night, but he didn't want to tell Jenna because she would just worry, even if it was a good reason to worry.
Balto walked towards the end of the boat that faced the forest and found Kodiak's and Aleu's paw prints heading into the forest.
"Ok, I will come with you then." said Jenna. "But, it might be dangerous and I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you." said Balto. "What could be so dangerous?" asked Jenna. "Well you see I um." stutered Balto. "Are you keeping something from me?" asked Jenna in a serious voice. "No, of course not." said Balto, but Jenna just stared into Balto's eyes, and he gave in to her stare. "Ok I am." admitted Balto. "You see when we went to see Aleu, Niju a wolf in Aleu's pack said that the southern pack wouldn't stop at anything to see Aleu dead and last night I smelt an unfamiliar scent." explained Balto looking down at the deck of the boat, not daring to look at Jenna. "What, ah they could be out there and in trouble and not known about it we've got to find them." said Jenna worried. "Ok, follow me." said Balto as he jumped of the edge of the boat lowest to the ground and started to followed Aleu and Kodiak's pawprints with Jenna close behind.
"Look will you just leave me to be alone I don't need to be baby sitted." growled Aleu. "But what if you run into any trouble what are you going to do?" asked Kodiak, Aleu thought about what Kodiak said. "Ok you can follow me, but be quiet got it." snaped Aleu.
Kodiak continued to follow Aleu as they walked through the forest. Just then Aleu pushed Kodiak aside behind a tree.
"Don't say a word." said Aleu quietly as she saw Kodiak was going to ask for an explination. "That's Aniak the leader of the southern pack she is the one who wants me dead." whispered Aleu just then Aniak stopped and sniffed the air for a while and then a smile appered over her face. "Aleu were are you....comeout wherever you are I can smell you." called Aniak, but Aleu didn't move. "I can see you behind that tree so you better come out you will only make it harder for yourself."said Aniak a few seconds latter. "Ok, have it your way Seward, Platinum get her." ordered Aniak.
(Description of Seward) Seward a wolf that lives in Aniak's pack not very bright but is very strong.
(Description of Platinum) pretty much the same as Seward, Platinum got his name from the colour of his coat.
Seward and Platinum came from behind them and forced them out, and Kodiak started to growl at them. "Don't be stupid you wouldn't have a chance." said Aleu quietly so they wouldn't hear her. "Looky here will you there are two little dogies." said Seward. "Good you know the saying the more the merier, lets head back to the pack we will keep them in the den untill we figure out what to do with them." replied Aniak. "Why don't you just get it over with here or arn't you brave enough." snarled Aleu. "Oh believe me I would give anything in the world to kill you don't you fret about that, but it is such ashamed that you are hurt." replied Aniak snickering as she led the way back to the den. "Just do what they want and you will live to see tomorrow." Aleu wispered to Kodiak. "Enough talking." ordered Aniak.
Aniak led the way to her pack and after a little while they were entering Aniaks lair.
"In the den you two." ordered Aniak indicating to the den that was beside them, and Aleu and Kodiak walked into the den while Aniak walked around the other side to the rest of the wolf clan. "Platinum, Seward guard the exit." ordered Aniak and they walked to the front of the exit and sat there. "Now what sis?" asked Kodiak. "I don't know but at least your still alive." replied Aleu. "Well I don't exactly want to spend my last few hours in this cave." said Kodiak. "What,are you giving up already?" asked Aleu. "No way." replied Kodiak. "Ok I have a plan." Aleu told Kodiak. "Hey meat head what about food." Aleu shouted to Seward and Platinum.
Seward and Platinum talked for a while and the Platinum left and went around to the back. "Now stay behind me Kodi." ordered Aleu as she walked to the mouth of the cave with Kodiak following close behind. "Get back now you two." ordered Seward. "Ok, wow look at that!" exclamed Aleu and Seward looked were Aleu had pointed with her paw, then Aleu and Kodiak made a run for it. "Hey come back here."shouted Seward.
Aleu and Kodiak ran as fast as they could but Aleu had to run slower than Kodiak because of her saw leg. Just then as they were nearly out of Aniak's lair a sentry jumped on Aleu and brought her to the ground, Kodiak looked around to see Aleu was caught and headbutted the sentry of and pushed Aleu with his shoulder to help her up. "Kodiak forget about me get out of here." shouted Aleu. "I will, but not without you." replied Kodiak. "Aw, how sweet I'm sorry to interupt, but back to the den." shouted Aniak with Platinum beside her. "Do what she said Kodi." said Aleu as she and Kodiak walked back towards the den. "Aleu stop." ordered Aniak as she walked over to Aleu. Slap, as Aniak knocked Aleu to the ground by slaping her across the face with her paw. "Now you can go with your brother." said Aniak, and Aleu walked towards the den.
"Now were?" asked Jenna. "I don't know there are lots of footprints and not all of them are Aleu's or Kodiak's." said Balto. "Ow, what if there in trouble." said Jenna nervously. "If the southern wolf pack has caught them then the best thing we can do is get Niju and Nava." said Balto. "Ok, but we have to hurry." said Jenna woried.
"What happened sis?" asked Kodiak indicating to the mark on Aleu's face. "Aniak hit me." replied Aleu, Kodiak stormed to the front of the cave and saw Aniak walking of. "Do you know who my dad is?" Kodiak asked Aniak. "Yes, Balto am I right." replied Aniak. "Yes, and surely you know that he will get Aleu and I out of here one way or the other." said Kodiak.
"Yes, I know, and that is what I am waiting for." said a familiar voice. Kodiak thought for a moment. "Steel." said Kodiak."Correct first go that must be worth a prize, but since I don't have any here the prize can be to find out what I am here for. You see Aniak and I had something in common we both wanted someone dead she wanted Aleu dead and I wanted your dad dead so I came up with the brilient plan of capturing Aleu but when I saw you I was soo happy because I now can kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes, I can get rid of you, and Balto, and she can get rid of Aleu and then she will rule the whole area it's a good idea." said Steel.
"Just out of shear curiosity how did you survive that fall from Eagle's Peak?" asked Kodiak. "Well as I was falling I looked down and saw a wolf underneath me, and then fall on it to break my fall, little did I know at the time that she was Aniak and we would have such a good idea that we would soon become partners in a plan to kill you and your sister and dad." replied Steel. "Can't you just drop a grudge once in your life?" asked Kodiak. "I will don't worry, after Balto is dead." replied Steel, but Kodiak just walked back in the den so he didn't have to listen anymore. "What was that all about?" asked Aleu. "That was Steel he has this grudge against dad and wants to kill him." replied Kodiak.
Platinum and Seward walked back to the cave and sat down infront of it.
"Hey what about food."asked Aleu."Aniak said that since you tried to run away you can go without, that ought to drain the energy out of you." replied Platinum.
Night came and Platinun and Seward waited for their food to be brought to them then a wolf came with some fish and placed them infront of them.
"Fish fish fish that's all we eat." complained Seward. "Well at least it's food since there aren't many caribou around here." replied Platinum. "I'm going to talk to Aniak." said Seward and then he left while Platinum started to guzzle down his fish.
"Hey I think I can get some food for us." said Kodiak as he walked to the end of the cave and slowly took the three fish from beside Platinum which belonged to Seward and then walked back to Aleu with the fish. "There are three so you can have two." said Kodiak. "Thanks." said Aleu. "That's ok." replied Kodiak as he quickly at his fish before Seward came back.
Aleu had just finished eating the fish when Seward came back. "Ok smarty pants were are they." demanded Seward. "What?." asked Platinum. "The fish, dah." replied Seward angrily. "Well you said you didn't like eating fish all the time so what does it matter to you." said Platinum. "You ate them, why you."said Seward then they started to fight not paying any attention on Aleu or Kodiak. "Kodi lets get out of here while their fighting."said Aleu.
Aleu and Kodiak both silently walked out of the den and past Seward and Platinum and raced towards the forest, but Kodiak had to slow down for Aleu again because of her leg.
And that is what happened to Steele in my first story, getting interesting hey.
