Balto 5 chapter 8
"Quick in the forest."said Kodiak."Sorry my leg."apologised Aleu."That is ok I know."replied Kodiak. "Thank you Kodi."said Aleu."For what."asked Kodaik."For everything taking me to Nome and putting up with me."replied Aleu."Oh ok your welcome."said Kodiak."You see I have a little bit of pride,ok a lot of pride."said Aleu.
"We better be getting back to your pack."said Kodiak as he shivered."What's wrong?"asked Aleu."Nothing I just hate the tast of fish."replied Kodiak."Ok,hey look popa's been here."said Aleu."How do you know."asked Kodiak."Look at the footprints there to big for a husky but to small for a wolf and here are husky footprints with his so mom must have come too."said Aleu."Hey your right,and they lead right to your pack."replied Kodiak."Comeon we better find them."said Aleu as she led the way.
Aleu and Kodiak followed the footprints for sometime until Aleu stoped for a while then pushed Kodiak down an old riverbed then jumped down herself and signaled for him to be quiet.
"Someone's here."said Aleu as she heard what sounded like more than one person or animal walking through the forest close to them.
"Are you sure."asked Nava."Yes I saw there footprints."replied Balto."Then we better hurry who knows what that crazy Aniak will do to them."said Niju
"It's dad."Kodiak told Aleu."We better show ourselves then."replied Aleu as they took a look to see if it was their dad and saw that it was so they walked out of the creek bed and saw Balto,Jenna,Nava and Niju walking away from them."Hey it's ok we got away."shouted Aleu.
They turned around to see Aleu and Kodiak standing next to each other behind them.
"I am so glad you are alright."said Balto as he and Jenna came running up to them with Nava and Niju walking behind."How did you escape?"asked Nava.
So Kodiak and Aleu told them all about it as they walked back to Aleu's pack.
"I dought if those two could even get there own food."said Niju as they walked back."And I dought if Platinum will be platinum any more he will probably be black and blue by the time Aniak is done with him and Seward."said Nava, Niju laughed."Oh dad I forgot to mention that Steel is with the southern pack."said Kodiak."So that is were he went no wonder we didn't see him,but everything will be ok if he dosn't cause trouble."replied Balto."Now time to get down to the problem of making the hunters leave."said Aleu."Well I have an idea but it probably won't work."said Kodiak."Comeon lets here it ."urged Aleu."Ok my idea is that one of use might be able to sneak into there camp and take their provisions without being seen."said Kodiak."It might work but don't you think it would be taking a big risk."said Jenna."Oh comeon mom everyone has to take a risk sooner or latter."replied Kodiak as they stood out side of the cave that Balto and Kodiak had slept in a few night back.
"Well I better go since I can be very quiet."said Balto."Ok bye dad I hope it works."said Kodiak, Jenna walked over to Balto and rubbed his face with hers."Be careful."said Jenna."Aren't I always."replied Balto then he left."Mom you can stay in the cave if you like I know it's not very nice but atleast your out of the cold breaze."said Aleu."Ok thank you."said Jenna as she walked into the cave."Arora."called Aleu."Yes Aleu."replied Arora."If Jenna comes out tell her I went to do something."said Aleu."Ok."said Arora and went to do what she was in the middle of."Were are you going?"asked Kodiak."Well I'm not just going to stay here,I am going to follow popa."replied Aleu."Then I will come too."said Kodiak."Ok but you have to be quiet."replied Aleu and the two of them followed their dad's footprints that he left in the snow.
Balto continued to walk until he saw the hunters camp and then viewed it for a while from the forest and noticed that one of the two hunters were leaving for some reason."I better try and take some of there supplies."thought he walked up to the camp and grabed a tin of food and draged it of and came back for second hunter came outside of his tent and Balto quickly hid behind a rock but the hunter had a stretched then went back inside so Balto took a small tin box which had some bullits inside and then left
Balto came back yet again for some more of their supplies but as he was nearly there the hunter came out and saw him and quickly reached for his gun Balto jumped on the hunter knocking him down and nocked the gun out of his hand, but the hunter through Balto off of him and quickly stood up and grabed his gun stood back up and turned around to see that the hunter had him trained in his sights and was about to fire when Aleu came and lunged at the hunter but fell short of the gun because she still couldn't support all of her wait on her two back legs so bit the hunters leg instead, the hunter shouted in pain and fiercly shook his leg until he kicked Aleu off, and she fell into the snow and couldn't get back up.
Balto ran up to the hunter but the hunter hit him with the but of the rifle and Balto fell down in the hunter aimed his gun at Aleu and Aleu looked up at the hunter and saw he was about to shoot her so she faced the ground and closed her eyes tight as if she knew she was going to die. Balto looked and saw that his daughter was about to die and saw that he wouldn't be able to get to the hunter in time to stop him from shooting her but ran up to the hunter hadn't even time to jump before the gun went off.
