Prologue

A wolf stood on a mountain top looking down at the wide open land far below her. The wind wasn't blowing very hard that night. I wasn't snowing either. It was nearing the summer. She was looking for someone, waiting for the other to appear. The wind blew threw her coat of White fur. She heard the snap of a twig behind her, her ears shot upwards and she wheeled around. She saw a brown huskie standing there. She walked toward the Husky smiling.
"hay there Togan" she said
"Aniu, hi" Togan said smiling back at her.
"What took you so long?" Aniu asked
"Im a huskie, i cant climb a mountain as well as you can"
"next time ill wait at the bottom" Aniu said
"that's not neccesary" Togan said. The wind blew and Togan shivered.
Aniu scooted closer to Togan.
"Aniu, have you ever wondered if anyone found out about this?" Togan asked
"No, i try not to think of things like that" Aniu said. Tolgan nodded and Aniu leaned against him.
"Only thing that matters is what is happening right now" Aniu said and Tolgan grinned

Part 1

A wolf pup stood in the snow crouched down watching a White rabbit. About to pounce he heard a crack! and the rabbit ran. The pup growled in anger then turned around in the direction of the crack. He started towards it and then something jumped out at him. The figure held him down by his paws and his feet. The pup felt a warm tongue lick his nose and he opened his eyes. His sister, Kira, was smiling down at him.

"Hi Balto" Kira said licking his nose again.

"Get off me Kira" Balto said turning his head so she couldn't lick his nose anymore. Kira let him up and balto stood up shaking snow from his fur.

"What were you doing?" Kira asked.

"Hunting" Balto answered her.

Kira jumped on him again and they played for awhile then kira bit balto's ear and he yelped and jumped from her. Kira licked his nose again and balto growled then pounced on her. While they were playing and laughing a snow white wolf watched them. She chuckled as she watched the she heard the sound of someone approaching from behind. She turned around and saw the brown husky smiling at her.

"Hi Aniu" Togan said.

"Oh it's you" Aniu said walking over to him.

"Where's the pups?" Togan asked

"down there?" Aniu said nodding her head in the direction of the two pups playing together. Togan chuckled as he watched them.

Togan and Aniu watched them for awhile before they headed out to go fetch them. Balto spotted his mom and dad heading for them and he barked and ran towards them and jumped onto his dad's back.

"Hi dad, Hi mom" Balto said smiling as Kira climbed onto Aniu's back.

"Hay balto, you hungary?" Togan asked

"Starving" Balto said "I almost got something to eat but Kira scared it away"

"I didn't even know you were about to kill it!" Kira said angrily at Balto

"Hay yall two were just getting along 10 seconds ago" Aniu said smiling

"It's natural for brothers and sisters to fight" Togan said. Aniu chuckled and the continued on their way to their home.

When they arrived at their home which was the largest cave that could be found anywhere. Balto jumped off Togan's back and ran for the cave and Kira followed.

"Togan, there is food right?" Aniu asked looking over at Togan.

"yea. Ill go get it" Togan said then ran off.

Aniu walked into the cave and saw Balto and Kira waiting for them.

"Mom, wheres the food?" Balto asked

"Dad's getting it Balto" Aniu said sitting down. "He'll be back soon"

Balto and Kira became impatient while waiting and went back to playing when they could hardly wait any longer.

Togan had crept into the celler of a meat store and he was not looking for something large enough to feed his family. It wasn't very hard as he had taken food from here so often there wasn't alot of choice left. Togan simply grabbed the biggest piece of meat he could find and dragged it out of the celler and towards home.

"Who's Hungry?" Togan asked as he dragged the meat into the cave. Balto and Kira got to their feet and ran to the food. Instently they sank their teeth into it and tore large amounts from it.

"Easy, easy. Chew before you swallow" Togan said watching balto swallow the same time he was putting food into his mouth. "you'll choke"

"Don't worry dad" Balto said his mouth full.

"we need to teach you two better manners" Aniu said chuckling.

Once Balto and Kira had had their fill Aniu and Togan ate the rest of the food and by then the sun had fallen and Balto & Kira had fallen asleep. Aniu and Togan curled up together and fell asleep after a few minutes.

The next day as soon as Togan and Aniu had woken up Aniu woke the two pups up while Togan went to fetch more food.

"Where's dad?" Balto asked yawning

"out getting food" Aniu said

"Mom, when will me and Kira get to go hunting with dad?" Balto asked

Aniu laughed. "Soon" was all Aniu said

Balto and Kira layed back down and were almost asleep again when Togan arrived with breakfast.

Balto and Kira joined their parents in eating.

Around Mid-day Balto and Kira were playing in an open field when they heard some commotion in town. Aniu and Togan went to go look what the source of it was.

Togan, Aniu, Kira, & Balto ducked low then Balto stood up to see what was going on. Aniu put her paw on balto and pushed him down.

"Stay down" Aniu said in balto's ear. Balto did what he was told and afterwords when the commotion stopped aniu allowed the pups to play again. While Togan and aniu watched, aniu asked "do you know what that might have been about?"

Togan thought for a momen then said "im not sure but i think the town butcher was robbed"

"how do you figure that?" Aniu asked.

"well im the one that has been taking the food" Togan replied uneasily.

"So you've been stealing" Aniu said staring at togan who was looking at the pups.

"Yea" Togan said quietly.

Aniu thought for a minute then said "lets just forget about it"

Togan smiled at her and licked her nose. Balto and Kira had began to fight and kira was crying at a small cut on her cheek. Balto was appologizing to her. Aniu went over to them.

"What is it?" Aniu asked.

"Im sorry i didn't mean it" Balto said. While aniu calmed kira down togan took balto with him on a walk. Balto thinking he was in trouble said "I didnt mean it! i didn't mean to hurt kira. Honestly! it was an accident."

"calm down. Don't worry im not going to punish you" Togan said bending down and smiling at balto

"your not?" balto asked

"no, it was an accident and we all make those" Togan said

Balto watched togan for a minute then nodded his head. "i just hope kira will forgive me" Balto said sadly

"dont worry" togan chuckled "she's your sister, she'll forgive you"

"you think?" Balto asked

"yes" Togan said

Togan tried hunting that night.

He was uncussesful. The rabbit he had been hunting had darted away the minute togan had set his sights on it. Searching for something else to provide food he spotted nothing. After trying again and again, becoming more and more frustrated each time he rushed to the butcher's shop. In his rage he knocked down several crates and the noise brought the butcher. Holding a bloody knife he stared at togan.

"So your the thief" the butcher said. Togan nervously backed away and the butcher jerked the food in togan's mouth away and togan ran. The butcher watced togan go and saw the dog go up the Ice Point Cliff. Furious he threw the blood-stained knife at the wall where it sank into the wood and stuck. He then went to his store next door and grabbed his rifle from under the counter. Following the dog's path he muttered to himself "that dog is as good as dead. No one steals from me and gets away with it"

Panting togan climbed threw the thick forest of trees. Togan's legs were siezing up when he came to an end of the trees. Jumping over a dead tree log he landed in the clearing in which the cave where he and aniu lived was located at. The sound of young pup barks reached his ears and he smiled. It sounded as if kira and balto had made up.

Chuckling he made his way across the field. There was a crunching noise whenever he stepped on an occasional show patch. Aniu popped up infront of togan and licked his nose.

"Whats up?" Aniu asked seeing togans face.

"it's nothing, frustrated is all" Togan replied knowing aniu would see threw this lie. But to his surprise she chuckled and said "you have to be patient"

The butcher was creeping threw the thick trees by now and he was going as uiet as he could. Except for the occasional crunch from a leave he was silent. He continued on. Now he could here the sound of barking. It was close. He pushed a branch out of his way and with a loud CRACK! the brach broke off. Swearing he remained motionless. He waited a minute before continuing. He looked over a thick clutter of leaves, bushes, and thorns and saw the husky. But the husky wasn't alone. He appeared to be talking to a brilliantly white wolf. There was also two pups.

"Their wolves!" The butcher said under his breath and ducked behind a bush. He poked the rifle threw the push and took
