"What?" Misty said standing up "yall are moving?"

"no we're just going to visit" Kalgorn said smiling

"Oh" Misty said sitting back down "thats great"

"I know we leave tomorrow" Kalgorn said sitting down next to her.

"whats this i hear about leaving tomorrow?" came Dukes voice.

Kalgorn jumped away from Misty trying to look innocent.

Duke chuckled and came around the corner.

"Duke get out of here" Kalgorn said aggrivated

"what's this i hear about leaving tomorrow? Who?" Duke said

"Me" Kalgorn said

"where are you going" Duke asked

"anchorage. So is my family" Kalgorn said

"yall are moving?" Duke asked

"No were just visiting" Kalgorn said standing back up.

Duke left. Kalgorn headed toward Misty again. Misty chuckled and rolled over onto her back.

Kalgorn curled up with Misty on the porch and the two lay on the porch for several hours.

Back at the Cave aleu was still chuckling about what elijo had just done when Kenti, Silver, Snow, and Diamond had to go to a wolf meeting. Aleu was told she couldn't go since she wasnt part of the lead wolf group. She wondered around the cave and saw the same tall, thin, well built gray wolf she had seen everywhere else. He was very handsome and Aleu thought about walking over to him and talking to him. It was the wolf that made the first move. He walked over to her. Aleu could tell he was nervous.

"Hi" he said

"Hi" Aleu said

"my name is Platinum" He said

"Im Aleu" Aleu said

"i haven't seen you around her before" Platinum said sitting down

"well i haven't been able to come her lately" Aleu said

"why not?" Platinum asked

"Parents" Aleu answere simply

"arnt they wolves too?" Platinum questioned

"no, well my dad is part wolf" Aleu said

"Oh" Platinum said.

"So i can only come here by sneaking out of town" Aleu continues

"where do you live?" Platinum asked

"Nome" Aleu answered

"ive heard of it before" Platinum said

"well its not far from here" Aleu said "its just ouside and like 10 minutes away"

"o now i know where ive heard of it before. Some disease was making everone sick and a dog named Balto brought back the medicine after the original sled team got lost" Platinum said

"Yea Balto is my dad" Aleu answere chuckling.

"is he really?" Platinum asked

"yea" Aleu chuckled

"Platinum get over here" came the voice of a white wolf.

"Kento what is it now" Platinum asked

"There is an intruder in this cave. I just got word of a dark gray and brown wolf that was seen sneaking in from the rear entance." Kento said in a serious voice

"ill get right on it" Platinum said. He then turned to Aleu "ill see you around aleu nice metting you"

"bye" Aleu said

She wondered how they were going to find the intruder. There was alot of dark gray and brown wolves in this cave. Even as she looked around she saw a wolve sneak from behind a large pile of rocks to a room that led to the 2nd level. He was dark gay and brown. Was this the intruder or just another wolf? If it wasnt the intruder then why was he sneaking around. Aleu decided to wing it and ran after the wolf. She turned into the room ran up the to the 2nd level and looked around. The dark gray and brown wolf was walking up more levels with a pup. Aleu jumped over some of the pups and ran to catch up with the wolf. She cought up with him and growled. The wolf looked behind him saw aleu and took off running. Aleu knew this had to be the intruder. She ran up several more levels she now saw she was on level 30. Very high up. The cave that had origanally been the wolves home was just above them. Aleu looked around what could this wolf want with a pup. Aleu saw a brown tail swish out of view and she ran after it. When she tuned she saw the wolf was still there. The pup had been set down and he was cowering in fear.

"what do you want with that pup?" Aleu growled

"none of your business" the wolf said and kicked aleu. Aleu fell to her side and then got up and jumped at the wolf. The wolf side stepped and aleu landed on the ground. The wolf grapped her by the neck and threw her back. Aleu rolled over several times and she felt her legs go over the edge of the level. She clawed at the ground felling herself sliding further off the edge. The wolf sank its claws into Aleu's paws and she howled.

"goodbye wolf" the wolf said and let go. Aleu felt herself start to fall but then out of nowhere Platinum grabbed her. Platinum pulled aleu up part of the way before the wolf kicked him. But Platinum had pulled her up far enough. She pulled herself up on her own and then jumped at the wolf. Aleu hit him in the side and he fell. Aleu landed on top of him and held him down.

"Got him" Aleu said smiling. Her heart still pounding in her chest.

Kodi was out in the forest near Nome when he got the whiff of another dog. He wondered who it might be. He turned around and saw Duke.

"Hay Duke" Kodi said walking over to him.

"Kodi i just found out something about you" Duke said

"oh and what would that be?" kodi asked walking out of the forest and Duke followed him.

"Kalgorn just told me yall are going to Anchorage" Duke said

"what!" Kodi said "we're moving away!" and without waiting for Duke's reply he took off to find his parents.

Duke had to be lying. What were they moving for? Kodi thought as he ran looking for his parents.

Kodi saw Kalgorn on a porch to one of the houses in Nome and also noticed he was also curled up with a cute black and white husky. Kodi would have went over to them on a regular occasion but he wanted to find his parents to much to take care about this right now.

"Kalgorn" Misty said

"hmm" Kalgorn replied opening his eyes

"have you ever wondered how you got this white mark on you back?" Misy asked

"ive had it since i was born. Thats just the way my fur grew. My parents dont even know why" Kalgorn said.

"its an interesting mark" Misty laughed

"You like it?" Kalgorn asked

"yea" Misty said

Kalgorn felt misty lick his cheek. He lifted his head up and smiled at misty.

"im going to miss you Kalgorn" Misty said leaning against Kalgorn

"ill miss you to" Kalgorn said resting his chin on misty's head.

Kodi skidded to a halt infront of the boiler room. He walked in and saw the room was empty. He then went out to his dad's boat and found only alot of wood and snow. He was getting anxious wondering where they were when he heard their voices.

"are you sure you know the way?" Jenna asked

"Yea ive been that way several times" Balto said

They were obviously talking about the trip. Kodi ran over to the next street where he heard them.

"Kodi hi" Balto said

"Dad, Duke just told me that we're moving to anchorage. Please tell me its not true" Kodi said panting slightly

"its not but we are going to anchorage. just a visit" Balto said looking curiously at Kodi

"Why!?" Kodi said exasperated

"Its a treat. Kalgorn has always wanted to see more of the world than just Nome and i thought it would be a nice family trip" Balto answered

"O but do i have to go?" Kodi asked

"yes, it wouldnt be a family trip if you weren't with us" Balto said. "really i thought yall would like it."

"kodi calm down we're only staying in anchorage for a week then we're coming back." Jenna said

Kodi took a deep breath and sighed "alright" Then walked away.

It was nearly nightfall and still no one had seen Aleu.

"balto im worried you think she got lost or got hurt?" Jenna said as the sat out in the warm summer night

"Aleu does seem to stay away alot. I hope she doesent take this trip news like Kodi." Balto said

"i hope she shows up" Jenna said

"Aleu will be back. Nome is safe enough" Balto said

"i know but its just she has been gone since morning and i dont even know where she might have gone. You don't think she ran away do you?" Jenna said

"i hope not" Balto said now worried too.

Aleu Tired and shaken from her near death encounter was now safely back on the 1st level. She hoped she never had to go threw that again.

"Alleyou" came elijo's voice

Aleu looked down at the pup.

"shouldn't you be on the 2nd level" Aleu said smiling

"i dont know" elijo said smiling up at Aleu

Aleu picked up the pup and set him on her back. "you caused alot of trouble earlier today" Aleu said

"i had fun" elijo said

"so did i" aleu said

"where are we going" elijo asked

"im going to take you back to 2nd level" Aleu answered him

"do i have to go back?" elijo asked

"yea you have to stay there" Aleu said in a comforting way

"i hate that place, ive lived in there my hole life i want to see more" Elijo said

"maybe you don't have to go back just yet" Aleu said stopping "i can take you around and show you what this place looks like"

"yea" elijo said standing on aleu's neck and his paws on her head.

Aleu took elijo around the cave and elijo fell asleep about half an hour later. Aleu chuckled looking back at the pup asleep on her back. She walked back towards the 2nd level and was almost there when Kenti showed up.

"Aleu what are you doing with that pup?" Kenti asked

"taking him back to the 2nd level" Aleu said

"is that the same pup that caused all that trouble earlier today?" Kenti asked looking closely at elijo

"yea his name is elijo, He got out again and he fell asleep so im taking him back" Aleu said.

"fine but you should try not to be seen too much, you dont know what it looked like when i first saw you" Kenti said walking back into a seperate part of the cave.

Aleu climbed up to the 2nd level and set elijo on the ground. She smiled at him as he slept on then left.

Balto lay on his back in the boiler room as he slept. Jenna was already up. She couldn't sleep. She kept wondering where Aleu was. She was thinking of going to go look for her when Aleu walked in eyes closed.

"Aleu!" Jenna said running over to her

"Hi mom" Aleu said

"Where have you been" Jenna asked "you've been gone all day"

"i know, I was with
