" My name is Angel."

"Loki."

"well its nice too meet you Loki."

"It's nice to meet you too, Angel." Loki and Angel walked off into the forest.

Chapter 2.

Irain walked slowly into town. He didn't take the same path as Loki, he knew that the path Loki had made was throught the forest and he feared the forest. His first mate and his son had been walking throught the forest on the way to visit him. The Forest was a dark and dangerouse place, and they had known that. But Irains mate had not cared this one particular time. She walked through the forest and cut straight through a near by wolf packs teritory. Unknowingly walking straight past a patrol of wolves. The pack was hostile to all that came near them, and so they killed the two Dogs they tore them to pieces. After what happend to his family Irain was so Broken he never realy had a heart for any thing. He was so depresed he almost died at one point. After he found Loki he thought maybe, Loki could help him mend the wounds in his heart. After time it worked, Loki became like a son to him. He knew that even Loki felt like he was Irains son. Loki had told him once before that he was the closest thing to a father he ever had and he was happy to know Irain. Over the past few months Irain and Loki became very close, Loki never realy kept secrets from him and Irain returned the honesty by keeping no secrets of his own. Even when Irain had found Trace, the most beautiful female since his first mate. Irain had told him the truth about about him and her, even though both Irain and trace had only just met and agreed not too tell any one just yet.

Irain's thoughts were interupted by and old friend of his.

"Rain, how's it going?" Irain looked to his side to see...

"Terry? hey buddy long time no see." Terry smiled.

"Yeah i'v been kinda busy. i just got back from another race. God i tell ya Rain, the races get more and more intense every year. Must be the old age." Irain smiled.

"Getting too old, hey old timer." Terry had a chuckle to himself.

" Very funny pal, your just as old as i am."

" Yeah, sadly i know."

" So where's the kid at?"

" Loki? he's out. said he was meeting his friends in town."

" Realy? i had just seen him. He was with some one else, and they where hedding back towards the shack." Irain furrowed his brow.

" He probebly forgot somthing. you know how kids are today."

" Yeah... real forgetful."

" Yeah, that kid would probebly forget his head if it wasn't screwed on..."

" Well i wouldn't go that far, the kids realy good at things he wants to be good at. Remember that fight two months ago when those bullies where attacking one of his Balto's Kids? Kodi i think it was, we had to rip Loki away from the kid. Remember he nearly killed him in a matter of seconds."

" yeah, i remember. Loki hasn't been in another fight simce then. I think he's to scared of what he could do if he got into another." Both terry and Irain smiled at the thought of the fight.

Loki Irain and terry where walking calmly through town. The entire town seemed quiet and rather at ease, no people running around, not even dogs where out at this point. The treo had come into town too meet up with some old friends of Terrys and irains. Old sled members, One of them was the great Balto himself. Loki was so excited to meet the legend he was jumping around and around like a kid would on christmas day waiting for there first presant.

Out of the blue Loki heard a whine, Loki stopped walking to listen. Both Irain and Terry didnt hear the whine and wonderd why Loki had stopped.

" Whats wrong Loki?"

" You didn't hear that?" Both Irain and terry shook their heads.

" Hear what?"

Loki took off down the alley way running full leg sprint towards the whine. when Loki reached the source of the sound he found Kodi fighting another dog with others standing around watching the fight cheering the Bigger dog on. The other dog was winning, he had Kodi pinned to the ground and was about to go for the throat when Loki Launched himself at the bigger Dog. The larger dog whent to the ground realy hard and Loki whent straight in for the attack. slicing and biting, Loki made the Dog bleed realy bad and just about whent for the throat when Irain and Terry scruffed Loki by the scruff and ripped him off of the Larger dog. The fight was over pretty much as soon as it started between Loki and the larger dog.

"Yeah the kid's a damn good fighter. I'm just lucky he hates fighting otherwise i'd never hear the end of all the conflict between him and another parents kid."Tery laughed about the last fight He had seen Loki in.

" Trust me, if Loki ever gets into a fight i realy dont think it will end out to well for the one who attacks him. Lokis a defensive fighter, he wont start a fight. And even if he did i doubt he would do it just because he was in the mood for a fight."

" Yeah, but if i let him he would kill others if they attacked him. Im just lucky he didn't take the wolf side of his temper. Other wise alot off people would probebly get hurt and he wouldn't be able to stay around here."

" Wait, the kids part wolf? so he's a mutt?"

" woah easy Tery. Is not the kids fault he's got Wolf blood in him. Remember Balto? he was part wolf as well and people treated him realy bad. Now look at him, he's the towns hero and he's the nicest guy i'v ever met. And i'm proud to call him my friend. Loki's the same. he's just a kid looking for a place in the world." Tery nodded his head.

"Yeah, sorry. I don't know why i said that." Irain nodded his head as if to say. 'Yeah right.'

" Look Tery, i'v got to go into town and meet Trace, i'll see you later?"

" Yeah, sure will. i'll pop around later on."

" Alrighty then. cya later."

" Cya Buddy."

Loki and Angel just walked into Lokis house, Loki had got the medical kit joseph kept in the kitchen cuboard. He pulled out a linnen bandage and placed it on the ground beside Angel. then he ran to the cuboard that joseph kept the towls in. ' For the blood.' Loki then walked over to the wooden dinning table Joseph kept his scissors on. He grabbed them and walked back to Angels side. He grabbed her leg with his paw and ran his paw around the wound, probing it for and damage other than the flesh wound he could see. Loki ran gis paw aboth the wound and felt a slight bump.

" Does this hurt?" Loki asked as he aplied a slight amount of presure on the bump.

" Owwww... Yes that hurts pretty bad. son't do that again." She smiled at him.

" Don't worry, i wont. not until i aplly the bandages any way. i think it's a little fracture. nothing too bad.you will be walking on it in a few days." Loki grabbed the towl and did his best to cleen up the blood, to save either of them licking it all up, it was a decent amount.

" Well, i hope your right. when i get home, Neyu is going to kill me." Loki looked up at him and rais his eye brow.

" And why is that?" Angel lowerd her head.

" He has strickly forbiden any of the pack to have any contact with a dog. he will probebly punish me a little for disobeying a direct order. As it is i'm not ment to sneak out of the cave so i can try to avenge my parents. If he finds out about that then i'm screwed." Loki stopped working on her leg and looked her straight in the eye.

" Why? what has he got against you leaving the cave?"

" Since my parents have died, both he and Nina have taken me in and treated me like ' family '. He just wants to protect me and keep me safe from the world. But i want to explore. I can't stay in the cave for the rest of my life. To tell you the truth you are the first Dog i'v ever met, and your not as bad as Neyu Makes you sound."

" Yeah... i'm not a pure dog." Angel tilted her head to the side.

" What do you mean, a pure Dog?"

" Yeah, i'm only half dog. Other half i'm a wolf. My Dad was a Dog, a husky. My Mom.... my mom was a wolf."

" What do you mean by Was?" Loki smiled for a second.

" As far as i know they're Both dead, i was told my father died before i was born, and My mom she was shot a couple months ago. Shot in the chest at point blank range, dead instantly. i watched the life leave her body. Her last words to me where 'Loki, i do love you, i just couldn't bare to see the resemblance between you and your father please forgive me.' just before she was shot. I hated her right up until she was shot, then i realised i did care about her. But it's too late now."

" geeeee, do you miss her?" Loki shook his head.

" No more than i did when i ran away." Loki finished up mending the wound as best he could. " There we're done."

" Thank you Loki, i owe you one." Loki shook his head.

" No need, just happy i could help the most beautiful girl i've ever seen." Angel blushed a little. " would you like me to walk you to your cave?"

" No, i will be fine. it would be best if Neyu doesn't find out about you not yet." Loki nodded his head.

" As you wish, Ma'am. Will i see you again?" Angel
