The canine had a champion sled collar and smoke gray eyes. His paws were bigger then a dog’s. This canine looked at Kodi with apparent disgust.

 

 

 

 

                Kodi, if you’d like to fight then fight me, I’m not your family. I am Max. Max voice was strong and held much command.

 

 

 

 

                Kodi bared his teeth at this new canine. Apparently his parents and siblings knew him, yet Kodi had not once met him. “Fine!” Kodi shouted and jumped at Max.

 

 

 

 

                Max dodged each attack Kodi made on him. Kodi slowly ran out of energy as he continued to lash at Max with all his might but he would not go down. Kodi growled and finally managed to scrape his claws across Max’s side. He left nothing but minor broken skin. It didn’t even bleed.

 

 

 

 

               

 

 

 

 

                Max decided it was enough and jumped at Kodi. Kodi braced himself to intercept the attack but was thrown off guard at Max’s strength. Kodi fell to the ground and scrambled wildly to get up. He knew that once you were down you had little chance of getting up.

 

 

 

 

                Max growled fiercely. Kodi refused to show weakness until Max grabbed him by the scruff and crashed Kodi to the ground. It was then Kodi began to crack.

 

 

 

 

                Max glanced sideways at Balto and Alue then they jumped on top of Kodi and held him there.

 

 

 

 

 Max bared his teeth and took hold of Kodi’s neck.

 

 

 

 

 Kodi waited for the searing pain and the feeling of his blood.

 

 

 

 

 Slowly Kodi began to the pain and the feeling of his blood run down his fur.

 

 

 

 

Through his whole life Kodi had never been scared. Today he was. Max held him too tight but gently. Kodi finally broke and started to tremble in fear and tears coming to his eyes. His eyes quickly snapping back to crystal blue.

 

 

 

 

  Max waited another moment and Kodi began to whimper finally Kodi screamed n…no please don’t kill me!   Then Max ears perked then looked at Balto, he nodded then Max carefully let Kodi go and stepped off of him.

 

 

 

 

 With blood running very slowly down kodi’s light tan colored side of his fur staining and matching kodi’s blood red top half color.

 

 

 

 

Kodi opened one eye and the other realizing Max wasn’t on top of him. “h- Hey...” Kodi shuddered as he tried to speak to Max. “Wh- why di- didn’t you…kill me?”

 

 

 

 

Max stared down at Kodi. “Kodi, its wolf code. I know what you’ve been taught but it’s wrong. When someone shows defeat, you let them go. I’ve seen many things you’ve done, every murder you’ve committed, and every fight you’ve been in...Yes even buck...” Max said staring sternly into Kodi’s eyes.

 

 

 

 

                “You’re…a wolf?” Kodi asked still bleeding and laying on the ground in a submissive pose.

 

 

 

 

                Max put his paw next to Kodi’s slowly (to show he wasn’t going to hurt him) Kodi tilted his head curiously as he saw how much bigger Max was to him. “Yes. I am a wolf. And it is part of wolf code that I do not kill you in a fight where you’ve given up.”

 

 

 

 

Kodi’s family watched in surprised as Kodi actually respected Max. Kodi sat up and kindly stared and began to say I’m sorry but began to wobble then collapsed. The last thing Kodi saw was Aleu running towards him. Max looked at Kodi panicking. He looked at Balto and said I’m sorry I took it too far.

 

 

 

 

 No Balto said (standing next to Kodi) in reply you showed him what it was like to stare death in the face.

 

 

 

 

 Aleu propped Kodi up and looked at balto and said he’s not breathing!

 

 

 

 

 Max loaded Kodi on his back and they all raced to town.

 

 

 

 

 Balto looked at Aleu as they ran and told him to go get doc and meet them back at the boiler room.

 

 

 

 

 Kodi slowly came back to life with doc hovering over him and said welcome back.

 

 

 

 

 Kodi sat up and felt something on his neck and put a paw up to it and felt the bandage. ‘What happened’ Kodi asked as Max and Balto and Aleu and Dusty walked in.

 

 

 

 

 Kodi saw Max and backpedaled so hard that he tripped over his paws and fell to the ground.

 

 

 

 

 Max slowly walked towards Kodi. Kodi scooted to the corner of the walls and slowly sat there whimpering waiting for the kill.

 

 

 

 

 Max stopped and looked at kodi and said Kodi I’m not going to hurt you I wanted to see how you were after our little scrape. Max said Kodi I’m sorry for nearly killing you but there was no other way to get the point across.

 

 

 

 

 Kodi raced through his thoughts and remembered what happened.

 

 

 

 

 Balto looked Kodi in the eyes and said he is right if we had not done that you would still be killing.

 

 

 

 

 Kodi teary eyed said I’m sorry I just became addicted and could not stop.

 

 

 

 

 Balto walked over to his son and hugged him and said well at least it’s over.

 

 

 

 

 They all hugged Kodi and Max left and told Balto that if he ever needed help again just to howl.

 

 

 

 

 After Kodi’s ordeal Balto and Aleu left and Dusty stayed with Kodi just to make sure he made it through the night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because of where the bite marks were at Kodi was in stable but serious condition and needed to be monitored.

 

 

 

 

 But before Balto left he looked at Dusty and whispered for her to make sure he didn’t try anything again and if he did to kill him.

 

 

 

 

 Dusty looked at him stunned. But Balto he’s your son. Dusty said.

 

 

 

 

 I know said Balto but if that didn’t scare him straight nothing will.

 

 

 

 

 Okay said Dusty I’ll watch out.

 

 

 

 

 Good night then as Balto walked home.

 

 

 

 

 Dusty looked at Kodi as he lay curled up and sleeping. Dusty lay close by as Kodi slept just in case anything went south.

 

 

 

 

 Halfway through the night Kodi began to shiver because of the cold. Dusty woke and looked at Kodi and said Kodi is everything okay you’re shivering? Kodi looked at Dusty’s emerald green eyes and said I’m just cold that’s all. Dusty said well maybe I can help and she lay down across Kodi her muzzle next to his and said better? Kodi answered yes much better. And they both began to drift off to sleep.

 

 

 

 

 Meanwhile Balto couldn’t sleep and was worried that Kodi may try to kill Dusty. Balto finally drifted off to sleep and dream. But the dream Balto was having was a horrible one.

 

 

 

 

 Balto found himself running towards the boiler room and hearing Dusty scream and ran in to see Kodi’s teeth sinking into Dusty’s neck and clamping down and watching her die right in front of him and Kodi laughing wildly and looking at Balto with yellow eyes and said in a deep tone your next!

 

 

 

 

 Balto snapped awake and ran out the door racing to the boiler room screaming I’m coming Dusty at the top of his lungs.

 

 

 

 

 Mean while Kodi had the very same dream and saw himself murder Dusty and jumped out from under Dusty and screamed NO! At the top of his lungs with his eyes bright yellow.

 

 

 

 

 Dusty snapped awake and said Kodi what’s wrong?

 

 

 

 

 Kodi stumbled off Dusty and said teary eyed it was horrible I dreamed I killed you in your sleep. Dusty looked up at him and saw his eyes yellow and told Kodi it’s just a dream I’m still here and so are you so calm down let’s lay down and go back to sleep. Kodi looked at Dusty and said your right lets sleep.

 

 

 

 

 In the shadows balto saw up on the wall while Kodi yawned it looked like he was fixing to clamp down on Dusty’s neck. Just then Balto burst through the door saying in a booming voice STEP AWAY FROM MY HER YOU MURDERING DOG!

 

 

 

 

 Kodi looked at his
