Dingo's musher yelled. The sled team set off to Nome.

As the team left White Mountain, Dingo, Dana and Yukon knew that the safety escort was going to follow. Sure, Forrest and Winter were seen running near the track.

''Good luck!'' Forrest and Winter yelled as they escorted them.

''Alright, I'm not sure if this happened or I just heard Forrest?!'' Rico asked.

''Maybe it just happened.'' Vincent said.

The sled team was progressing well on its' run. Shira and her pups remained unseen, meaning that maybe she was bluffing after all.

Then they reached the cliff part. Dingo saw something like a peeking rock in the snow and managed to avoid it.

But Yukon didn't see the peeking rock and his tripped hard across of it.

''AAAHH!!'' Yukon yelled upon hurting his paw. But what followed immediatelly was something that no one, but absolutely no one, expected.

Yukon's loose harness snapped, causing him to slip out and hang on the cliff. The team immediately stopped.

''Yukon!'' Dingo yelled. ''Hang on!''

But then, Yukon lost his grip and fell down. Dingo and the others all looked in shock and Yukon screamed, but immediately after, it sounded something like puffing.

Dingo looked down and was suprised at Yukon fell only 4 meters below! It looked like as if the snow pile saved him.

''You okay, Yukon?'' Dingo asked.

''I'm fine!'' Yukon said. ''I'm not hurt!''

''Come on, boy!'' Musher yelled. ''Climb up!''

But then, another sound, something like shaking was heard. Everyone looked in confusion.

''What was that?!'' Fiona asked nervously.

''Dingo!'' Yukon yelled. ''RUN!!! GO!!! GET TO NOME!!!''

''What?!'' Dingo yelled, but then he realized that the avalanche was happening.

''I'll get to Nome! Trust me!'' Yukon yelled. ''Now go!!''

Dingo mushed immediately, catching the musher and the other dogs except Dana by surprise.

Meanwhile, just a little bit earlier, closer to Nome...

''Galena, wait!'' Kassan called her, while being followed by Harath.

''Guys!'' Galena said. ''Please, you don't have to do this.''

''But we can't disobey dad's orders!'' Harath said. ''He'd be mad at us if he saw us without you!''

''Calm down!'' Galena said. ''If you think that I wanna be with Tayer, you're wrong!''

Kassan and Harath said nothing. They didn't know Tayer well, yet they were told that he was as dangerous as Steele and the others.

''Let's not think about Tayer, please.'' Kassan said.

''Right.'' Harath said. ''Let's wait for mom and dad here.''

''Okay.'' Galena said.

Then, some shaking in the distance was heard. The triplets looked in the distance and saw snow rumbling down the cliffs.

''Avalanche?!'' Harath asked.

''Oh, no! Please no!'' Galena said.

''Mom and dad are supposed to get through there!'' Kassan yelled in panic.

The triplets immediately rushed to there, hoping that the worst wasn't going to happen.

Meanwhile, back at Dingo...

''Faster!!'' Dingo yelled in panic.

''We can't!'' The others yelled. ''We should have waited for your brother to get back!''

But as Dingo was about to say something...

A large snow piles poured out of nowhere from the cliffs above. The whole team looked in horror and as they were about to scream...

The team was snowed under, and no one managed to scream in horror. But there was someone who watched in horror.

Yukon saw the team being snowed under. He climbed on the snow pile and started digging nervously.

''Dingo! No!'' Yukon cried. ''Dana! Anyone!''

He realized that he couldn't dig the whole team out so he ran to the nearest rock, climbed onto it and howled several times.

''Come on! Come on!'' Yukon cried in fear.

Meanwhile, back at the triplets...

''I hope they made it!'' Galena yelled nervously.

Then, they heard someone howling in panic. Did that mean that the team was snowed under?!

''Who was that?!'' Harath asked.

''It was uncle Yukon!'' Kassan screamed. ''Oh no!!''

The triplets rushed to the rock where Yukon howled. Soon they saw their uncle rushing towards them.

''Uncle Yukon!'' Galena screamed. ''What happened!?''

''I need help!!'' Yukon screamed. ''Your parents' team was snowed under!''

''NO!!!'' The triplets screamed in horror, rushing to the cliffs. ''MOM, DAD!!!''

''Wait!'' Yukon ran behind them. ''We need to get help from Nome first!''

Yukon rushed to his nephews and niece and caught up with them. Then they together reached the snowed area.

But when they reached the area, they saw someone there. Someone who was panicking nervously and possibly trying to rescue the team.

Chapter 41: Shira's Past
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Yukon, Galena, Kassan and Harath arrived at the place where Dingo's sled team was snowed under, they saw a young green-eyed black husky frantically digging.

All four recognized the husky. The boys looked at him madly, while Galena looked at him, totally surprised.

''Tayer?!'' Galena asked. Tayer looked at them.

''Galena?'' Tayer asked. ''What the...? What're you doing here?''

''What're YOU doing here?!'' Yukon asked.

''Can't you see that the sled team was snowed under!?'' Tayer asked.

''Our dad's team is snowed under here!'' Kassan yelled.

''What?!'' Tayer asked. ''Help me then!''

''Why don't you leave then?'' Harath asked angrily.

''Do you really think I'm doing this for you?!'' Tayer asked. ''The team's in trouble!''

Galena looked at surprise that her friend was helping her parents while her uncle and brothers were looking suspiciously at him, slowly approaching him.

''I found someone!'' Tayer exclaimed, pulling up an unconscious red husky. It was Dingo.

Tayer put Dingo gently on the pile, clearing the snow and ice off him. He seemed that he did care for Dingo, as he tried wake him up.

''What're you doing?'' Yukon asked. His tone changed from angry to pity.

''I'm checking if he's alive!'' Tayer said, rubbing his back. Dingo coughed a bit, barely opened his eyes and fell asleep again.

''He's alive.'' Tayer exhaled in relief. ''Come on, there's more to rescue!''

Tayer started digging the new hole. Yukon, Kassan and Harath looked at Tayer surprised. The son of the villain who kidnapped them and their cousins was helping them.

Then, Kassan joined Tayer in digging the hole. Afterwards, Harath and Galena joined.

''Are you sure you're not doing this to impress us?'' Kassan asked.

''Of course not.'' Tayer said. ''I just don't want to see other dogs die.''

The males looked at Tayer with more pity. The question was, if they told anyone that Tayer helped them, was anyone going to believe them?

''Another one!'' Tayer said, pulling Dana on the surface.

''Mom!'' Galena yelled. ''Mom! Wake up!''

Same as Dingo, Dana coughed a bit and fell asleep. The triplets were looking in despair at their parents, not sure if they were going to make it.

''How many are there left?'' Tayer asked.

''Three, and the human.'' Yukon said. ''I was in that team, but my harness snapped and I managed to get myself on safety.''

''Then let's dig them out!'' Tayer said, digging a new hole.

''You do it!'' Yukon said, running to Nome. ''I'll get the rescue team!''

Tayer and the triplets looked at Yukon running towards Nome. None of them couldn't believe that Tayer was actually doing a good deed.

''Tayer, how come you be here?'' Galena asked.

''I had a big fight with my family yesterday.'' Tayer said. ''I ran away.''

''How come?'' Harath asked.

''My mom is mad because I'm not like my dad.'' Tayer answered. The triplets noticed that Tayer cringed upon mentioning his father.

''And that's why you ran away?'' Kassan asked.

''Yes.'' Tayer said. ''And I am not going back to them.''

''Then where are you going to live?'' Harath asked.

''Somewhere in the wild, far from them.'' Tayer said.

''Tayer.'' Galena said. ''Come with us, to Nome.''

''What? I can't!'' Tayer said. ''Can't you see that your family and the other dogs despise me?!''

''You should come with us.'' Kassan said. ''Uncle Yukon'd prove them that you wanted to help us.''

''If you say so.'' Tayer said.

One hour later, Tayer, Galena, Kassan and Harath managed to dig out
