A Demon? – Alex’s story – Star’s thoughts

Star was running and crushing all trees on his way. Nothing was able to stop him. Scare in his soul still alive. Cos he saw in wolf’s pupil his, Star’s, face with strange horns. Demon? – he thought, nonsense, a fairy tale for small pups… But if not demon, who is he now?.. Star was shocked. When he looked back, he saw huge wings, like bat’s wings. It was so shocks, what he fell on the ground.

- You know, I always wanted to see you, Balto, - Alexander looked very happy, - And now I’m standing with you, on the street. Great!

- Well, can you tell, how you came here, and what is The Darkness Pack? – asked Balto, and looked at Boris. Suddenly Kaltag entered Balto’s boat.

- Hey, guys, have you seen Star? – ha asked, then looked at Alex, - hi-hi, you’re new down here?

- Yes, I am, - Alex answered, - Well, in place where I lived, were… permanent… hm… fight between pe… packs. And I’m not currently from TDP, I’m half-breed, part from TDP, and second from TNT pack.

- Just like me, - said Balto, - go on. By the way, what is TNT?

- The night truth – Alexander yelled, - Well, and all this time I was a leader of DTP, until that day we were surrounded by truth’s wolves, and two bears behind our back, - Alex began trembling, - Horrible reminds. And as soon as we get here, local wolves killed Ned… Well, and then you saved me. And I was unable to save anyone of them after all. I’m the only who survived.

- You’re poor guy, - agreed Kaltag.

- I think Star went to the lake, - said Balto, - I heard his screams, and something else… like another screams…

Star rose from the ground. New thoughts come into his mind. He recalled all things of his life – one piece to one, everything was accompanied with that cream-colored with dark spot face, paw strikes, and knocked out Star on the ground. KALTAG – his face appeared behind Star’s eyes. Star’s heart wished to have vengeance, and his brains were burning. VENGEANCE – one thing he wanted. But, he need to at back to Nome, in order to… kill? No, not kill, but MURDER Kaltag. He turned back, to Nome.

- Beware, Kaltag, - he said, - Evil draws close.

Then he run – run to town he called home, town called Nome.

Chapter 3

Revenge! – Missing in action – Escape – The arch-demon Trico.

It has begun early in the morning. Kaltag, Nikki, Steele, Balto, Alexander and Kodi were walking near Nome. Good spring morning was wrong place for something horrible. Birds were singing, small snow piles here and there, and walker’s laughing. They were talking, and haven’t mentioned dark shadow moving towards them…

Kaltag was the firs, who saw that shadow.

- Watch out, it’s something horrible!!! – He screamed, and then Star appeared from that shadow.

- What? Who are… you? – asked Kodi.

- My name is not matter, the matter is that @#$%^& freak, with a spot on eye, - said Star.

- I… I don’t… don’t… dontknowyou… - quickly said Kaltag.

- Really? And who you always bonked on head? – Star smiled with feral smile.

- S… Star? – Steele looked at small husky in past.

- No matter, I came to have revenge!!!!!! – Star’s eyes throw lightning, - Say your prayers, all of you!

- Well, - smiled Alex, - Dear Lord, give me strength to RUN LIKE A HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He even hadn’t completed the phrase, and everyone run who can where. Star angrily looked at the place where Alex was standing. It was empty.

- I’ll gonna get you all!! – Screamed Star, and run for Steele, - You’ll be first!

-He-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-elp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! – screamed Steele as soon as Star’s claws touched his tail.

Suddenly, a door of the house opened and angry man with gun appeared.

- Who… - he began, and stopped, - Steele!!! – He armed gun, - Take this you… - then he got that’s no human, but a horrible mixture of dog, human and bat, - You! Tried! To! Kill! My! Dog! Take! This! – He shoots.

- All right, butt head, - Star sipped his fingers, and bullet got out his chest, - Useless.

- Let’s get a hell out of here, - suggested Balto to others. Then they all run away. Star tried to follow them, but another bullet crushes into his back. He runs away.

Hour later Balto, Kodi, Kaltag, Steele, Alexander and Nikki were in the small cave.

- Twas Star? – asked Kaltag, - I can’t believe it!

- That stone he found may be infernal stone, - said Alex.

- Damn, what was it? – asked Nikki.

- Steele, are you OK? – Balto went to Steele.

- Damn, his hands… it burned my tail! – moaned Steele, - is it on it’s place?

- I think so, - answered Balto and sneezed: Steele’s tail smelt really burned.

- Nobody makes you believing he is Star, - said Kodi to Kaltag, - But it was his voice…

By that time Star crushed all trees on his way. He was almost mad. His plan failed…

- I can feel your feelings, young demon, - said voice somewhere inside his chest.

- Who are you? – said Star, - what are you doing in my chest?

- I’m Trico, the arch-demon, and a ruler of the underground.

- What do you want from me? – asked Star.

- Nothing important, - Trico continued, - If you’ll help me, I’ll help you.

- What must I do?

- You should find the Moon Gate Mountain, and then in this mountain you should find the Dark Glyff, the darkest Glyff, and the most darkest Glyff.

- What will be next? – Star grew impatient.

- You should find the dark gates somewhere in this mountains, and use those Glyffs to open those gates. And then I’ll help you to have a revenge.

- All right, I guess I have nothing to loose, - said Star, - I’ll begin it just right now.

He went to mountains, in order to take those Glyffs and open the dark gates and let demons enter this world and create a world of chaos…

Will Balto or anyone else stop him or not?
