us were the gem is." Niju said Steele looked at the pool of water as a picture started to appear inside the cystal water. It showed the birds eye veiw above Aleu and the others. "Balto!" growled Steele angerlily "He doesn't have the gem with him." Niju said as his eyes looked at the others. "Uhh Dusty is there to and  Aleu .....she has the gem!" Niju said "Should have know it was her." said the voice Steele had the darklook on his face. "I would like to be on your side now." said Steele The dark figure smile. "Wonderful Steele. Aleu is chosen to return the gem. She is our target." the dark voice said as the redness in it's eyes glowed.

     Aleu was letting the rain hit her on the nose and it became wet. She looked at the gem that still was on the chain around her neck. What did this "power" do. What was she suposed to do with it. Aleu knew ever since it had given her the power that the power was running in her blood that ran throw her vains. It was in her Dna but how would she use it. Aleu closed her eyes to sleep like her company, but her ears quitched to a noise she heard. Aleu's eye flew back opened as she lifted her head. " W ho is there?" Aleu called to the darkness Aleu got up to look for what see had heard. Something was there.

   Aleu scanned her blue diamond eye across the darkness that had be light earlier that day. "Hello?" she called to it "Hand it over." she heard It sounded like a voice of a male animal. Aleu turned just as something leaped onto her back. She strruggled to throw it off, but it was pulling the gold chain around her neck. It was strangling her as she moved trying to free herself. "Stop!" Aleu cried as the chain still was being pulled. Then the gem started to glow a light bluish color. Aleu heard word in her head echo....say acttalliu...say acttalliu (act-tall-e-uhh) Aleu knew that the gem was telling her what to do, so she said the words that echoed thought her brain. "Acttalliu!" Aleu cried. She eye drew behind her as she say a blue lightening bolt coming from her was electicuting the creature that had attacted her. Once it stopped the intruder had fallen off her brown furred back and was lying on the ground. "Who are you!" Aleu said as her boy and eyes started glowing a lightish blue color.

Jumper

    The intruder looked up at Aleu. "Who are you intrudor?!" cried Aleu as she eyes blazed with anger and  the red ring around her neck was soar. "I...I...'he said "Aleu!" cried Balto as he ran up towards his daughter along with Dusty, Jenna, and Kodi. "Aleu what happened?" Kodi said "This thing attacked me." Aleu said as her glowing eyes stared at the intruder. "Why have you done this?" Dusty cried to the intruder The intruder got up and looked at the group. "My name is Jumper." he replied to the others

      Jumper was a wolf with the younglook in his eyes and had brown fur with a white under side. His pattern was the same as Aleu's wolf pattern. " Why have you attacked my daughter?'" Jenna said angerly  "I was suposed to. I was sent to look for the gem and my master said I had too." Juper said shyly "So you did!" Kodi said "I didn't want to." Jumper said "We can't trust him." Balto said Aleu's blue color had faded back to the gem. She looked up at the sky with her blue eyes and saw that it was still night and the stars were still out. "We should take turned guarding until morning." Aleu said as she looked at Jumper. He smiled a shy smile at her that turned into a sad scared look.

    In the morning the group was around Jumper who was curled up on the dusty looking up at them. "I told you, I didn't want to do it." Jumper said "He hasn't done anything all night." Balto said Aleu stared at Jumpers blue eyes and huge wolf paws. "He sense to know that I have the power. We'll jst leave him here." Aleu said as she turned and paced away with her family and friend. "What...I..would like tojoin you." Jumper said Aleu and the others looked back at the brown and white wolf. "Are you just trying to get close to Aleu and the gem?!" Dusty asked "No. I want to help." Jumper replied and he followered them Aleu looked at him with a lookedm that said I don't trust you on it.

         "He's a trater Steele." Niju cried toward Steele "We should have know he would turned on us." said the dark voice "Master how do we get you the gem?" asked Niju "You have to destory Aleu, but also Balto because if Aleu dies, he will want to com plete the jouney." said the voice "Why just use the gem you have. The gems are the same?" said Steele looking to the dark shadow in front of him "Mine has no power. It is nothing but junk. Aleu's is the true and first Wolfdog Gem. Hers is the real one." the voice replied with hate in it's glowing red eyes "Find her!"

        Niju and Steele walked back over to the pool of water. Aleu's picture was in it along with the other. "I have an idea to destoy Aleu." said Niju as his wolf gem started glowing blood red. It flew into the pool of water. "This with crush her."  "What will?" asked Steele with wonder in his dog eyes "Just watch the water Steele." Niju replied

 Chapter 6.

The cracking Mountain

        Aleu and the others were climbing up a hugemountain that they had been climbing for hours. "This really is huge." Jumper said Aleu was getting tired of climbing as the small rock pebbles were sticking into her huge wolf paws. She see climbed one paw slipped from one of the edges of the leage. "Uhh.." she said "Aleu grab my tail." Jumper said Aleu put her teeth around the wolve's brown and white tail. Jumper helped pull Aleu back up. "Thanks Jumper." said Aleu said Balto and Jenna looked at eachother with happiness in their eyes. "Man this climb ishard to climb." Dusty said "It's a mountain, Dusty." Kodi replied to Dusty correcting her "Oh really." She replied back with some attitude Then the moutain started to shake. Aleu felt pebbles hitting her on the face. "What's happening!?" Jenna yelled Aleu looked around saw the cliff was cracking around her.

    The rock was cracking around Aleu. It pushed itself out of the mountain and was floatings in mid air. "Niju." Jumper mummered to himself The rock then dropped from the invisible air taking Aleu and with it. The ground under her opened up like  the mouth of an animal. "No!" screamed Dusty along with Kodi.  Jumper releaes his grib on the mountain side and flew towards Aleu. Jenna watched as her flesh and blood was falling and the one who attacked her had was going for her.

      Aleu felt the wind in her fur as she fell toward the hole in the ground miles away from her. Aleu didn't hear a echo in her head from the gem. Would this gem let her fly. Nava told her it would only let her use it at surtain times. It seemed that this wasn't one of those times. Then she heard it. Say  safty steel, say it. Aleu said it  as she closed her eyes waiting for her death.

      Jumper was still flying towards her, following her towards her death. The gem was still around Aleu's neck. It started glowing a faint light heavanly blue. Then a  noise came from it, like a heart beat of love and scaredness. From the gem came a huge circle that was pale and lifeless. If flew towards Jumper and went right throw him. He felt funny, like his bones and body were completely made of Steel, and nothing could break then. Aleu finally had vanished into the deepness and darkness of the hole. She opened her eyes to see Jumper coming with her.

    Aleu and Jumper were still falling and Aleu knew what was about to happen. Her back hitt a ledge coming out of the side of the hole. She expected pain but..what a minute she felt no pain in her back....or spine, she seened completely unharmed. Aleu heard a thud and knew that Jumper had landed on the ledge "Aleu!" he cried Like Aleu she didn't have any pain or damage. Aleu looed up as the hol close. Then another ledge hit Aleu's brown furred back and this time she stayed on the dusty ledge. Still nothing had hurt her. It was like her bones had become steel after all. The hole that Aleu and Jumper had fallen into had closed up like an animals mouth after in had swallowed it's meal and was whating to digust it. They were suronded by nothing, but darkness.

Chapter 7

The Cave

      "Aleu are you ok?" Jumper called as it echoed "Yeah." Aleu echoed back "W...were are we?"" Jumper said "Light!" cried Aleu The gem glowed with the color of the bright yellow firery sun. It shot a ball of light up into the center of room and flew toward the top. It light up everything and Aleu saw were they were. Aleu and Jumper had fallen into a huge cave with rock, water and stalagtites hanging from the top. Aleu looked down to see the cave was deepeer. It was nothing, but darkness. "Aleu, I think there's a path up here."
