"Balto's Many Adventures;The Foggy Night"
A shrill cry was heard over all of nome,it was a cold foggy night the fog infact was so thick it u could not even see the stars out in the beautifull night sky.The blood chilling howl kept continuously ringing over the little little town,even though many people were in their houses asleep one little girl in paticular was up that night staring out her window wondering where the unusual howl was coming from.Now this little girls name was Rosie,her head was very red just like her fathers,she had fair skin and her eyes were a dark green,Rosie had always wished to be a musher,she knew she could be good at it she already had her future sled dog,her puppy Jenna,a beautifull red and white husky pup who was curled up and asleep on the rug right next to Rosie's bed.Rosie once again heard the blood chilling howl and tilted her head to the side confused.....then Rosie had an idea she wanted to go see what it was,Rosie quickly hopped off of her bed and slipped her snow boots then she put on her Perkka[a term for the type of coat that Eskimos wear]Rosie began to walk twards the door,her boots thudded on the wood flooring of her room.Suddenly Jenna awoke,she looked around franticlly twitiching her ears about for any unusuall noises or sound,Jenna quickly stood up and she looked twards the door to see it was open a crack...so slowly,very slowly Jenna crept twards the door and pushed it open gently with her nose.she found herself standing in a dark hall way with only her sense of smell to guide her,then Jenna heard footsteps walking twards the front door of the house,she scilenced her breathing and crouched down on the cold damp floor of the darkened hallway,Jenna closed her eyes tight as the footsteps kept approaching her and growing louder and louder...then she heard a frail weak voice say"Jenna,is that you girl?"Jenna opened her eyes to see a small red headed girl holding a candle in her hand.Rosie stared at Jenna then said"I was going to see where the strange howling was coming from,are you up to go see to girl?"Jenna tilted her head and put her paw on Rosies knee and gave her a little shove then she walked twards the front door and began to push on the door.the girl walked up to the front door aswell,Jenna whimpered quietly once she reliezed the door was bolted shut and no matter how hard she pushed on it,it would not open,her tiny paws scraped the door eagerly.Rosie quietly snuck twards the door and unlattached it,and opened it.Jennas tail wagged eagerly but stopped right when she looked outside she couldn't see anything everything was covered in a thick white mist,even the houses and stores were not visible.All was quiet and all that could be heard was the blood chilling howl coming from somewhere in Nome.Rosie stepped outside.her boots made a crunching noise in the snow with each step she took,Jenna followed cautiously behind her.Jennas eyes shifted side to side looking all about her"i may not be able to see but i can hear!"Jenna thought to herself.As Rosie and her puppy walked along the howling grew louder and louder,soon they could make out a strange shape in the distance,it was wide and made of wood,the howling could be heard very clearly comign from whatever the large shape was.Rosie swallowed and gripped her candle tighter and kept walking twards it.Jenna bent down and sniffed the ground vigerously,she lifted her head and said to herself"How odd...it smells like a dog has been here yet the scent is more pungent and fowl then a dogs smell."Rosie walked up to the strange object and scraped some snow off the side of it,To Rosies amazement she reliezed what she was looking at was a boat,then suddenly they heard the blood chilling howl again this time closer then ever it sounded like it was right beside rosie and her future sled dog Jenna....infact thats exactlly where it was......To Be Continued...
