Anaktuvuk Forest, Alaska

"Uggh! Where is Xavier, he was supposed to be here an hour ago?" Aleu asked herself, "Maybe they're on their way, for now I guess I'll explore a bit before he gets here." Aleu said, starting to walk around the forest

Before long, Aleu came across a very familiar smell, "Hmm? What's that smell? Eww gross smells like blood!" Aleu said, following the scent, and before long, finding a dead wolf, "Oh my goodness! What happened to you?" Aleu ran up to the wolf, placing her paw on her neck, "She's dead, who could have done this?" Aleu asked, looking around, discovering a set of paw prints leading to a den, "A den huh? Looks pretty big, let's see which clan lives there." Aleu said, walking towards the den, she took a peek inside and found the clan having a meeting, "The Anaktuvuk Clan? Wonder what they're meeting about?" Aleu asked herself, and listened in, "Tonight, we make our way to Nome! We will have our revenge for Silva, starting with this Balto character and his daughter who we have captive in our cells as you all know!" Skye said, "Balto?! As in dad, and his daughter, Saba?!" Aleu asked herself, and listened in to hear more, "Sir, I don't see why this is necessary!" A wolf spoke out. "Hush! Or you will be joining Saba in the cells!" Skye said, "Then take me! I will not take part in such actions!" The wolf said. "Take him away then!" Skye shouted to the guards, who came and brought him to the cells. "Knew it! They have Saba captive here, and now they want dad and mom dead, I've got to go warn them!" Aleu said running off, "But wait, what about Saba? I can't just leave her here!" Aleu said, turning back, going to the side of the den where the group started to leave. Aleu snuck her way into the den, and peeked around the corner of the hall of where the cells were, "There she is! Now how do I get her out?" Aleu asked, unaware someone was behind her, the wolf tapped her, "Miss, aren't you supposed to be going with the…." "YIPES! *slap* don't scare me like that!" Aleu jumped and slapped the wolf across the face. "Well damn lady! You don't gotta slap me!" the wolf said, "I'm sorry, I jump when I get scared." Aleu said. "Well, you should head out with the group, I don't think I've seen you around here before? What's your name?" the wolf asked, Aleu took a second to think, suddenly the world around her went gray, "Huh? Am I thinking hard again? I must be, oh! I have to take this time to think, let's see, if I tell him who I am, he'll call security since I'm not from this clan, but I have got nothing so just telling him will be my best bet." Aleu thought, the world returned to normal around her, "My name is Aleu, I'm new here." Aleu said nervously. "Well, alright, but Omegas usually stay behind so go ahead and return to your assigned places." The wolf said, "But wait, you haven't told me your name yet?" Aleu said, "I'm Silk, the Alpha's brother, so naturally I'm an Alpha, so I'll be out tonight, I'm surprised Skye hasn't introduced us yet or told me about you?" Silk said. "He said that he had um important business to take care of tonight and he wouldn't get to introduce us yet." Aleu said, "Well, important business isn't right per say but I guess for now it works, I don't agree with what he's doing tonight but I guess since I'm Alpha I have to deal with it." Silk said, "Just out of curiosity, what is it that he's doing?" Aleu asked, "Well, you know how there's an Alpha Male and Alpha Female for each pack right?" Silk asked, "Yeah of course." Aleu said, "Well you see, his mate, or the Alpha Female if you like was killed last night by hunters and their dogs, and he believes that by capturing every dog and killing their loved ones he comes across, he can get revenge on the hunters for what they did to Silva, nobody else agrees either, but they'd rather kill than be killed, same here so I have no choice." Silk said, "That's awful! I see a red husky in the cells, who is she?" Aleu asked, "Oh, that's the one who's family he's attacking first, her name is Saba, I had originally planned on letting her loose and saying she escaped in the morning but I have no choice now, and if she's seen escaping, Skye will kill her on the spot." Silk said, Aleu went grey again, "These people are going to kill my family and have my only sister captive, I don't know whether to kill this guy right here and now or to lay low and free her later once I stop these guys, no, if I kill him now then I'll be killed on the spot, plus all I need to do is kill the leader and the group will have nowhere to go without a leader." Aleu returned to normal, "Is she able to be visited with?" Aleu asked, "Well, without the leader here, the den is left only with Omegas, so you've got my permission to do so as second in charge if you'd like." Silk said. "Alright, they're calling roll, you should probably go huh?" Aleu asked, "Huh? Oh yeah, but maybe I'll talk to you when I come back!" Silk said, "Whew, glad my little cover works, now to go free Saba." Aleu said to herself.

Aleu made her way to the holding cells and spotted her sister, "Saba!" Aleu said to get her attention, "*gasp* Aleu! What are you doing here?" Saba asked, "I'm here to free you and save mom and dad." Aleu said. "No, you can't free me yet, the guard's coming back any minute now and if he catches you and me escaping, he'll kill us both!" Saba said, "What am I supposed to do then?" Aleu asked, "For now go work on saving Mom and Dad, I'll be fine until they get back, you've got to hurry Aleu!" Saba said, "Well, alright, I'll get it done, trust me." Aleu said. "I know you will sis, I have faith in you, now go! Save our family!" Saba shouted as Aleu ran out of the den and made her way to Nome. "I hope she can do it, otherwise I fear it may affect the future, at some point, but I believe in her, after all, she's my sister." Saba said to herself. Joel came back, "Who were you talking to?" Joel asked, "Another one of the Omegas, just don't worry about it." Saba said, laying down in a corner, going to sleep. "I don't want boss to kill her family, but at the same time, I can sympathize with him about how he's feeling, I just hope this ends up happy with nobody hurt." Joel thought to himself

(Aleu's POV)

"Alright, now which way home?" Aleu asked herself, trying to remember the way home, "I remember! I need to head South, but it's going to take me 3 weeks to get there since it's halfway across Alaska, so hopefully I get there before they do." Aleu said to herself, "Because if I don't, I have to kill every single one of them." Aleu said.

and I don't want to have to do that, not again…
