jenna
"no i know balto is still alive and he's coming" jenna said but even as she said this she knew there was no way of knowing for sure. She couldnt be sure weather balto was even near. But those dogs had said he was only a few minutes away so he had to be near.
Suddenly she heard a loud howl. He ears darted forward.
"balto?" Jenna said
Steele looked out of the mountain and smiled. He ran to the mouth of the cave and said "get ready boys here he comes"
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Balto ran around a corner and found him in another clearing.
"more ice?" balto said and took several steps forward. Solid ground. well snow anyway so he ran forward and saw the tracks led to a cave. Jenna had to be there. So did Steele. He felt a hot surge of anger so deep he Howled. he saw steele appear at the entrence to the cave and Balto sped up. Then out of nowhere 9 dogs jumped on him. He was pinned down and they all started slashing at him and biting him. He felt a searing pain in all four of his legs. Balto couldn't do anything but lay there and take all the cuts and bites they were giving him until they suddenly stopped. Balto tried to stand up but as soon as he put weight on his legs they seared with pain again. All four of his legs were broken. He fell to the ground and went unconsious.
When Balto came back to consiousness he heard the sound of struggling and choking. He looked up and saw Steele had his jaws clamped over jenna's throat. Jenna already seemed close to giving out. Something happened to balto when he saw this. His pupils shrank and he felt a great surg of energy. Then suddenly without knowing how he had done it he found himself standing over Steele his jaws closed around steele's neck. Balto closed his eyes and thought back to all the pain and suffering he had caused him. All his anger at what steele had just done formed into a large amount of energy inside balto and it all went straight to his jaws and balto felt his teeth sink throught steeles neck and steele stopped struggleing. Blood rushed over baltos teeth and nose. He fell to the ground again and looked over to jenna. She wasn't moving.
"jenna?" balto said
She remained motionless.
"Jenna" balto said more firmly. Jenna didnt say anything but her tail moved. Balto sighed in relief and "o thank god" he said closing his eyes.
Jenna stood up a few minutes later and walked over to balto. He was barely recognizable.
"balto" jenna said
"im still here" balto said
"stay with me" jenna said
balto smiled.
"balto we've got to get you some help" Jenna said
"It's too late for me jenna. I cant go anywhere all my legs are broken" Balto said
Jenna glanced at balto's legs and saw that they were oddly bent and blood stained.
"Dont worry ill get us out of here" jenna said
"jenna just go home with out me its too late for me" Balto said
"no its not. I- i love you too much for you to die" Jenna said
Balto smiled "what can you do? Only way i could get home is if someone carried me.
Jenna remembered something steele said and at first she wanted to forget it again but then relized it could save Balto's life.
Steele had said they were near white mountain. Jenna looked up and saw a mountain.
"white mountain" she said
Balto coughed.
"balto im gunna have to leave you for awhile. Im gunna go get help" Jenna said and ran off up the path towards white mountain.
Balto watched jenna take off then closed his eyes. There was no point. He would be long dead by the time she got back. Balto had a flashback of his last visit to white mountain.
*Balto was running around with his brothers and sisters. His parents were watching them smiling then suddenly a gunshot fired. Balto who had been nearest his dad ran into his dad's arms. Then balto relized his father was dead. His dad's head fell foward and covered balto. Balto started to cry. He heard several barks, growls, gunshots, and dogs whining. When balto finally crawled out of his dads arms he saw his mother, brothers, and sisters were dead*
This flashback brought tears to balto eyes. It had been so long since he had last thought of his parents. At least he would be with them soon. He rested his head against his arms and waited for his death.

Jenna was panting as she ran up the mountain. The mountain was steep and she slipped often. She got back up and pushed harder everytime. When she finally found level ground she almost fell again. She saw the town of White mountain. She ran into town looking for help.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Balto could no longer feel his legs or tail. He knew the end was near. Only a few minutes.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
jenna rushed up to a sled team panting. That stared at her as she tried to talk and catch her breath.
"hay get your breath then talk" the brown husky said
"I need your help" Jenna said still panting
"whats the matter" a red one much like jenna asked
"A friend of mine is freezing and badly hurt. He cant walk i need your help please!" jenna pleaded
"lead the way " the lead dog said
Jenna ran off the direction she had come and the sled dogs followd.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Balto Howled as the numbing cold crept over his back. He then heard the sound of several dogs panting and a sled. "jenna?" balto thought
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
They reached the bottom and jenna showed them to balto. The dogs gasped as they saw Balto.
"what happened?" the one that looked like jenna asked looking from steele's dead body to Balto"
"nevermind ill explain later we have to get him back and warmed up" Jenna said.
"this might hurt" the lead black husky said as he and 3 other dogs picked him up by his legs. balto felt nothing. His legs had gone numb a long time ago. The set him down on the sled and they ran all the way back up to white mountain.
Balto was carried into a boiler room and set down in front of the heater. He shuddered as he felt the warmth wash over him. Then he felt the pain of his limbs when he could feel them. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

When balto woke back up he felt someone dabbing something wet against his side. Whatever the stuff was it stung and balto growled.
"its ok boy this will make you feel better"
Balto could no longer feel the pain in his legs. He saw that they had been put in casts. He sighed and layed his head down as the lady finished her work. When she got up and left Jenna came in.
"balto" Jenna asked
"over here" Balto said
balto heard her walk over to him the felt her start to lick his cheek. He smiled.
"how you feeling?" Jenna asked
"better" Balto said
Jenna smiled. The door opened again and the sled dogs came in.
"hay how you hanging buddy" The dog that looked like jenna asked
"Great" balto said. "thanks for helping me"
"no problem, We still havent introduced ourselves" A black and white husky said
"Im Kini" the Brown Husky said
"im Jols" The black and white dog said
"im Alex" The reddish, orang dog said
"im Kalid" The brown dog with white spots in front said
"and im Justin" the dog that looked like jenna said
"im balto and this is Jenna" balto said
there came the sound of a whistle and the sled dogs had to go.
"bye" balto said
"c ya balto, Bye jenna" they all said and left.
Jenna lay down next to balto and went to sleep with him.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
By the time Balto's legs had healed He,jenna,kini,alex,jols,kalid, and Justin had become really good friends. Balto hated the fact that he couldnt go around town with them but they still came to see him as often as they could. Finally one day balto woke up and the lady that had put the stinging liquid on his cuts had come in and taken the casts of baltos legs. Balto stood up and took several steps. He smiled and then went outside. Just outside he saw the sled dogs and jenna.
"balto your legs arn't in the casts anymore" jenna said smiling
"yep just got them taken off" Balto said smiling
They went around town talking and when jenna led balto away from the sled dogs she said "balto its great that we made some friends but ive got to get back to Rosie she will be wondering where i am" Jenna said.
"I know" balto said "we'll leave in the morning"
The next day when balto woke up jenna was already up and she seemed to be ready to go.
"jenna ready?" Balto asked yawning
"yea" jenna said
"lets go say bye to the guys" balto said
"alright" jenna said and they went to the house outside town where a house was. This was where Kini, Jols, Alex, Justin, and Kalid lived. Balto barked several times and they came out.
"what?" Justin asked
"what are yall doing up so early?" Kalid asked
"we have to be getting home" Balto said
Jols frowned "o well i guess this is goodbye then"
"dont worry we'll meet again. Me and jenna might come visit sometime" Balto said
"we'll see you two soon. We have a mail run to Nome all the time" Justin said
"alright i guess we'll see you then" balto said
"bye"
"c ya guys"
Balto and jenna left. Balto lead the way and soon they arrived at the ice.
Jenna started to walk onto it but balto pulled her back.
