The Demon Star.

Introduction.

Ah, stars, galaxies, UFOs, planets… Who doesn’t dream about them? I’m about 15, and I still thinking about them. The star I like very much called Sirius. I hope, those… Sirians… will be friendly… very friendly… ;)… But I turned into nostalgic recalls, I’ll leave them behind. Anyway, trilogy is not about stars and galaxies, etc (god I like this word – etc!), It’s about things happening in order to save the world from horrible demons…

The prologue

Star was going here and there near the barn, but he didn’t enter it. He knew, what if he’ll enter it, he’ll be bonked, very hard, ‘cos last day he accidentally ate Kaltag’s food. And now Kaltag was almost crazy: Steele’s sled team was second once again. He thought it was Star’s fault.

Thinking this way, Star’s eyes suddenly saw something red falling down. And few moments later he got that that thing will fall right on the place behind his nose. He could only stand, everything happened in one moment…

CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Small piece of stone crushed into the ground just a few steps behind Star. He jumped back: piece was shining with red light. It must be hot, thought Star. Minuets passed, but stone was glowing the same as in time it fell. It’s glow become more intensive when Star went closer, and disappeared when he went farter. Star touched stone. It was cold. But a second later it become VERY HOT. Star with scream jumped back.

- Oh you damned stone you was cold! – he said, then listened, but it was silent.

- Hey, Star, - suddenly he heard voice behind.

- Arh!! – Star turned to owner of the voice and saw Kaltag.

- Well, Star, - continued Kaltag, - What du you think I’m going to do?

- B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bonk m-m-m-m-m-me… - Said Star, and a moment later he got a HEAVY strike on his jaw, and next strike pushed him face on the snow… Suddenly he felt strange hot inside – like he’s filled with liquid and this liquid will boil anytime. When he saw that Kaltag preparing to strike again, he screamed with a horrible note in voice:

- You freak what I did wrong?! Why do you always bonking me?!

Kaltag didn’t answered. No one can say what he was near to do with Star, only Balto’s sudden appearance saved him from vengeance. Then Kaltag went away, Balto helped Star to get up.

- Thanx, - Star smiled, - You saved my life.

- Ah, Star, newer mind, I’ve just heard your horrible scream. People may say, you’re screaming like a banshee.

- Who’s a banshee?

- Banshee… - Balto stopped for some time, - It’s a ghost of… you really want to know it?

- Go on, I don’t like mysteries, - said Star.

- OK, you’ve ask for it, - smiled Balto, - Well, it’s a ghost of a murdered woman.

Star fell on the snow. Balto smiled, then saw a red glowing.

- Hey, Star, what’s that?

- It’s my stone, - proudly said Star, - It almost fell on my head. Don’t touch it! It’s hot!

- Ah! – Balto put his paw on the snow, - really damn hot.

Star looked at stone and asked:

- Well, where we’ll put it, and how?

Balto has been thinking for five minuets.

- Well, we may use some kind of… hm… maybe stick…

- Wait, - Star disappeared in the darkness, and then appeared once again with stick, - Diz will be hood?

- And where you want to put it? – asked Balto.

- Somewhere in safe place – answered Star.

They decided to put stone in small pit they found in the forest. Strange, thought Star, why stick is not burns? His paw was still aching until the morning. However, he hasn’t got thing he had found. And this stone turned his life into different way…

But he newer could think about the same things, so, he went to the barn in order to sleep.

Chapter one

One-eyed wolf - the stone - Star’s transformation.

Early in the morning Balto was walking in the forest, and suddenly he heard screams for help. Voice was unknown, and it seemed, that owner was praying for his life. Balto ran to a voice, and thing he saw was horrible. Small wolf, with “black bandage” on his right eye, was fighting with two wolves, and it seemed he wasn’t in number of victors. Balto recognized one of wolves: Niju, the bully wolf from the Nava’s pack. The second was unknown. Small wolf tried to attack Niju.

- C’mon, smart guy, try to hurt me if you can! I’ll won’t give you my life without fighting!

- Do not be stupid, little fruck, - said unknown wolf, striking small wolf, - You may be brave, but we newer let another packs hunting in thiz area. So, you muzt die.

- You WILL die, - added Niju.

- Then c’mon, c’mon, and you on the hill, to! – Small wolf looked at Balto.

- Whadda? – Niju turned and faced with angry Balto’s face, - DAN!!!!!!!! SAVE ME!!!!!!! HERE’S D.I.A.B.L.O!

- AAAAAAAAAAAAA!! – Dan, the second wolf run away like a hell, and Niju followed him.

Small wolf looked tiny near huge pine tree, but he was ready to fight even with all hell’s demons.

- Down, boy, - said Balto to wolf, - I don’t want to fight with you. I want to be friend. Or you can’t get? I’ve came for your screams.

- It wasn’t my screams, - said wolf, - Poor Ned, he was my best friend, and those bstrds tore him apart… Poor thing…

- I’ve newer thought they can kill… such weak person… - mumbled Balto, then he nuzzled wolf’s nose.

- I’m not weak, I’m tired, - smiled wolf, - Hey, what’s your name?

- I’m… Balto, - said Balto.

- Balto?! – Gasped wolf, - good god, you’re that famous Balto? Oh, I turned away from theme. I’m Alexander, the last from The Darkness Pack.

Suddenly he fell down.

- God, I’m so tired, so tired, can you help me to find a safe place? – said Alexander.

- Of course, I will, and I can give you a living place in my… well, boat.

- I suspected something like this.

Few days later Alex, as Balto called him, tuned into not high, a bit smaller then Balto, but rather strong wolf. Balto was surprised and a bit scared: his new friend was one-eyed. Left eye was normal, but on the place where should be right eye was nothing. There wasn’t even an eyehole – just short black hair. And all other was just like Balto: the same colors, the same size of paws, the same long tail. But his eye… was grey-colored. Grey-colored and mindfully.

That day Balto with Alex went to Nome, just for meet with Jenna. Alexander was going and looking around. And accidentally he punched huge Alaskan Malamute.

- Oh, you, - Malamute turned to Alex’s face.

- Oh, me, - smiled Alex.

- Steele, leave him alone, - said Balto, looking backwards.

Steele growled something like “god damn you wolfdog”, and went to his team. Star waved to Balto.

Jenna was waiting Balto near the big log on the Nome’s borders. When she saw Alex, she thought, that Balto been chased by him.

- Balto, is he chasing you? – asked she.

- Nope, of course, - smiled Balto, - Jenna, this is Alexander, or Alex. Alex, this is Jenna.

- Nice to meet you, - said Alex and nuzzled Jenna’s face. Jenna also nuzzled Alex’s face.

They were talking about everything: about weather, about pups, about people, and so on. Suddenly Alexander looked up and gasped:

- Wow, guys, look at that red line in the sky!

- One more meteor, - said Jenna, - few days before I saw one. It fell somewhere near barn. I think so, - she added.

- Strange, - guessed Balto, - Star said, that his stone fell behind him.

- And how his stone looked like? – asked Alex, - Can you describe it?

- The only things I can recall, is it was hot and glowing, - Balto looked at Alex.

- Nice one, - said Jenna.

- Eah, really nice, if we’ll take in count he still alive, after that meteor fell just behind his head – smiled Alex; - Do you think it’s strange?

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Star went to take one more look on his stone. It’s glowing drew him to it. He was looking on it for hour. And then this nightmare had begun. Two wolves tried to attack him, in order to take his “treasure”, as he thought. He took it into his mouth, and run. And, if you don’t know, roots have very bad habit to get under your legs if you are not looking on them. So, this root was also included. Star stumbled over it, fell and hit his jaws on the ground. This accident created tongue motion, and Star… swallowed his stone. While he was lying on the ground, wolves reached him. Star suddenly got that those wolves want to eat him, and it’s over, now no one will got where Star had gone…

But as soon as wolves reached him, they stopped an looked at Star with a horror in eyes. This moment Star fell a hellish pain… Each inch of his body was tearing apart, he felt he’s changing… his muscles grew, become stronger… front paws fingers stretched…

Now he stand up on two paws – like a human, he got hands, and he had mighty muscles. Once he looked at wolves, and suddenly saw his face in wolf’s pupil. He was as scared as he newer been. He run away with screams, which freeze soul…
