sending Boris spinning like drill into the snow.
“I tell you to run. Oy!!”
It didn’t take him long to reach the race track it still the same as before around the town center in oval shape. Balto always remembered his first race, the one for the sled team he was first, though they cheated on him for him to lose, but didn’t make it anyway.
On the edge of the forest a wolf stars out at Nome, wagging his tail slightly.
He could see Star, Nicky, and Kaltag starting up on the line. He walked up and far left where the race was longest. He could see Star walking up to him. Star why do always talk to me in every race.
“Hey, Balto!”
“Hey Star.” He replied to Star, he didn't much look at him, he didn't want to talk to him.
“Where have, have been? I haven’t seen you in days.” He heard Star's statement question, I've already had this conversation with Jenna, don't need it from you.
“I’ve just been busy Star.” He tried to leave the subject as he looked around for his mate.
Star looked down at Balto’s right paw, he noticed this and moved his paw away from sight.
“I guess the rumors are true.” Star said to himself.
“What rumors Star, what rumors?” Balto’s temper went slightly up, what did they come up with now?
“Well, since the howling people say you’ve been fighting wolves and uh howling ah um.” Star muttered not to sure of how Balto would react.
He twitched his ears why is it when there’s any wolf activity I’m somehow in it. Why I’m I a rumor, rumor, and rumors! Darn it all! He went in to his race position left paw in front as crouched down, just ignoring the thought.
“Eh, Balto?” Star asked to Balto, after a small moment he shouted his name.
“Balto!”
“What?!”
Star stunned by his yelling backed off. Finally. He heard the race keeper yelling.
“Alright musher’s get your dogs ready the race is about to begin." All the dogs went to there own race positions. He simply waited for the single.
Balto waited. The race keeper spoke again, “This is long race 12 laps!”
Balto smirked make 120 that would make this interesting.
The race keeper got his clock ready.
Jenna sat on the barrel as she did for every race with her friends but across from her was Celeste. Come on, Balto you can do this.
Boris sat on the fence. Why do I still sit here?
Balto went lower he was getting inpatient. Just star the race! He looked at the race keeper with a look of annoyance. The race keeper finely pulled race gun out. He turned forward. The gun fired all the dogs bulleted out.
He ran on the left side he gave a smirk and went to the middle moving in between the dogs causing some confusion. He after the first lap stopped. He went between the dogs for the first position. He gave a sigh, I wish it was like before were they pushed me off, then I would do things to get back in first. He panted as the race went on.
Star tried to keep up Balto, but he was at lest thirty feet ahead.
He kept track of the laps now he was on nine still in lead since lap two. The turn was coming up; he passed the turned and heard the howl of Hector. He put his paws in front of him to stop him self. By the twists of fate he stopped in front of where Jenna was watching.
He knew now he kept Hector waiting, Hector will only howl to me if I’m very late two hours at lest. Gosh. He let the other dogs’ race past him. He only blinked.
The voice made him perk up. “Go Balto!”
He turned to see Jenna now out of the places to stop it had to be here. “Hi Jen.” He said to her as he went off again. Sorry Jen, I got to bail the race Hector calls.
He caught up in the lap but stayed on the far left. Now to bail out on lap eleven.
Star noticed Balto racing differently he followed him.
Balto knew where to turn out of the race at the butchers shop past that lead out of Nome. He slowed down a little so no one would notice his bail out. He saw the butcher’s shop and turned quickly.
Star noticed this and tried to follow he turned and hit the shop dead on, the hit knocked Star dead out. Star fell down against the building sled down.
Star muttered. “We stars around Star.” Star lost his wake.
At the finish line the dogs finished the race. Jenna moved her eyes around looking for Balto. She waited a little waiting for Balto to finish. She felt a lump in her throat. Did Balto just leave?
Celeste looked around smirked as I thought Balto didn’t finish, but. She remembered how Balto was, he seemed loyal, but is has he really turned?
Jenna still waited her ears where now back she was close to tears. Celeste interrupted her thoughts
“Lets go he isn’t finishing.” Celeste said to her.
Jenna didn’t answer but got off the barrel, and went down the track. Celeste grunted and followed. Jenna looked at the track on followed the biggest foot tracks she knew were Balto’s. At the turn she saw at the end of it Star was knocked out.
“Star!” she exclaimed.
“What? Star?” Celeste said with Jenna.
The hurried over to Star, there star was getting to his senses slightly, very slightly.
“Star what happened?” Jenna asked star.
“Ho hooEh Balto, building, pain, wand beautiful stars now talking me.” Star muttered.
Confused, Celeste spoke, “Balto hit or pushed you in the building?”
Jenna had worried look, Balto did how why..
Star shook his head, “No way Balto never killed me I’m still alive. See.”
Now Celeste was really confused, “What?”
Star continued, “Boomer at five o’clock.”
Celeste spoke “What are you talking about?”
Boris landed next to Jenna, “Is Balto with you I didn’t see him finish?”
Jenna spoke softly, “No.”
Celeste was still trying to make since of star.
“Balto bail, follow, building.” Star said again.
Celeste lost her temper, “Did Balto do this?!”
“No, Balto bailed I tried to follow but rate of turn too slow then pain equals building.” Star said as he fell into the snow.
“Well that’s what we needed to now.” Celeste said to star, as she walked over to Jenna.
“I still don’t know what he meant.” Celeste admitted.
Boris looked at Celeste, “Well your slow, I was half listening and know what happened.”
Jenna was oblivious to everything, she just walked off.
Balto reached the forest, “Hector?”
The wolf came behind the tree he had a smile on his face. Hector is grey wolf yellow eyes, a little bigger than Balto.
“Welly, well isn’t this a surprise I never had to call you before Hero of Nome.” Hector said to him.
“Don’t call me that, it just took me a little to get here I was in race.” He replied to Hector.
“Well you called me for a reason right? You just told me to get here fast as I can.” Hector said to Balto.
“Well the first question I need ask you about.” He started.
“Wait, you were in a race? Did you win Hero of Nome?” Hector asked him.
“I told you before don’t call me hero, and no I bailed out to meet you. You said it was urgent.” He replied to Hector.
Hector looked down his ears moved a little back, “Don’t do that again..”
He was confused by his comment, “Don’t do what.”
Hector paused, “Don’t put me in front of your family, never put me front, you hear me.”
“Sorry Hector, I just put myself last.” He said to him.
“Then put ay least me at least of your things alright.” Hectors voice was dead strict. “Promise me, Balto of Nome.”
Seeing how series Hector was he agreed, “Alright Hector.”
“Now Balto about your question?” Hector asked him with a smile.
“Yes, well my question is about pups.” He stopped seeing his face. “Eh, Hector?”
Hector’s smile twitches, “About pups right..”
“Yes I sort of assumed you’re a father being a year older than me, Hector?”
“Yes about the pups eh, Balto I’m not exactly a father, well not yet.” Hector said sheepishly.
“Whhaat? You mean you’re a, a...” He stammered.
Hector laughed a little “Uh yeah, I’m waiting. No wait you mean, oh.” Hector gave a mischievous smile, “Getting a little moody?”
“No, like you are Hector I’m waiting.” He said to him.
Hector paused, “Ah..uh..hmmm, we got a problem.”
Great, just great hector, and I have the same problem, but maybe he knows how to handle it.
“Hey Hector, you now how to handle this thing don’t you?” He asked.
“You mean you worry? Or wonder unsure.” Hector asked.
“Yes very wondering about it.” He answered.
“Well I can’t really help you there?” Hector replied to him.
