stared at her in shock never expecting her to intercede, on the floor Balto looked up with a mixture of surprise and relief.
“Since where did you attack Balto? Why are you attacking your friend Steel?” Jenna asked narrowing her eyes.
“Was my friend Jenna. Not now, he is nothing but a filthy wolf half breed.”
“I cannot believe what I am hearing. We played together as pups, hours together on the beach and in the forest. You repeatedly defended Balto from your teammates.”
“I was a foolish pup back then I was wrong to be friends with that half breed, no Jenna I should not have done those things.”
“How can you say that? You defended him against your own father!”
“A mistake Jenna, my father showed me how wrong I was, he forced me to face what was at stake if I continued to be friends with a half breed.”
Jenna stepped back in shock as Steels words echoed in her ears, never expecting to hear such things from him. A look of confusion crossed her face unable to believe what she was hearing. On the ground Balto hung his head in shame. Around them the dogs in the circle grinned and nodded in agreement at Steel’s words.
“You’ve changed Steel, changed into a dog I do not know, a dog I never thought you would become” Jenna replied staring at Steel.
“No Jenna I’m still me the real me.”
“The Steel I know would not hurt Balto, the Steel I knew was his friend.”
“You need to see Balto for who and what he really is a wolf dog. You and me Jenna we could have something special I may be a year older than you but we could” Steel said smiling at her gently.
“I don’t, I cannot” Jenna stammered.
Looking between Steel and Balto Jenna suddenly felt as if everyone’s eyes were on her. Out of pain and confusion Jenna suddenly leaped over the head of one of the dogs, running away from them as fast as her paws would carry her. Seconds later Balto repeated her trick following hot on Jenna’s heals, nether shopping until they where the boats, both slipping underneath them. Both collapsed onto the snow, panting as they looked at each other both unsure what to say.
“I cannot believe Steel did that to you” Jenna whispered breaking the silence.
“It was to be expected he is Irons son and a pure breed husky” Balto replied.
“No Balto it is not to be expected. Steel was out friend he had no right to say those things to you. You have as much right to live here as we do.”
“He is still your friend Jenna, I am the one he has the problem with. He was right I am a half breed, I should not be friends with pure bred dogs like you.”
“Do not say that. You are my friend no matter what. I don’t care what Steel or anyone other dog says.”
“Face it Jenna we cannot be friends we were just fooling ourselves.”
“We made a promise to always stay friends no matter what, you, Steel and I we made an promise.”
“That was a dream, a promise made by foolish pups. I’m sorry Jenna” Balto replied hanging his head. “You should stay away from me I am nothing put a half breed being with me will only harm your reputation.”
With that Balto turned away from Jenna walking off across the ice. As he left Jenna collapsed, tears rolling down her face. Her heart ached with a pain she could not understand, unaware of what she was truly feeling for Balto. Lying in the snow Jenna sobbed her heart out. The after a while she felt a warm body next to her, looking up she saw her mother Fiona sit down next to her.
“Oh Jenna I am so sorry” Fiona whispered licking her cheek.
“This isn’t fair, Balto and Steel were my friends we had so much fun together as pups. Why does everything have to change, why can dogs not see past the wolf in Balto?”
“I am not sure Jenna some dogs fear wolves and we all know what humans think of wolves.” Fiona replied looking at her daughter. “Go home Jenna you need time.”
Climbing to her paws Jenna ran underneath the boats running home as fast as her paws would carry her. Reaching home Jenna ran straight up to Rosie’s bedroom finding Rosie sat on the floor playing with her toys. Seeing her Jenna ran straight into her arms, tears falling down her face as Rosie hugged her.
“Jenna has something bad happened?” Rosie asked.
Looking at her mistress Jenna nodded in reply. Walking over to a small bedside cabinet she put her paws on two pictures, both featuring herself and Balto.
“Something has happened to Balto and you, has Steel hurt Balto?”
Again Jenna nodded her eyes fixed on the pictures. One showed herself, Balto and Steel as pups on the beach all three grinning and wagging their tails. The second showed herself, Balto and Rosie playing together in the snow. Looking at the pictures Jenna cried bitter tears at ending of her friendship with Balto. Looking at Jenna Rosie’s heart went to her and to Balto wishing things were different. Together Rosie and Jenna sat together remembering the fun times they had had with Balto, both hoping at someday things would change, utterly unaware of what would happen in a year’s time.
