she would of started to do the same thing to another dog so I made sure that the #@!$ would never again hurt anyone and I killed Stacy because it was for our plan but it failed anyway and for the fact that I wanted more blood, finished Zeeke who was now still crying.

Balto looked at his son in disbelief he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

I-I-I- think it is best that l kill you to-to save you from hurting anyone else my son, said Balto.

No!, cried Zeeke,

I’m going to be a father and you a grandpa and mom a grandma I won’t leave my unborn pup’s to the mercy of the world and the team I will protect them with my life!, cried Zeeke.

He lunged at his father and before Balto could react he found that he had cut’s and wound’s almost everywhere and that Zeeke had on of his paw’s on his throat.

I won’t let you kill me or anyone for that matter I will live and so will my mate and my unborn pup’s and now I will leave you here for I still want us to be together so mark my words I will return and when I do you mom and all of the rest of my family will finally be rabid,

He finished and to Balto’s surprise and horror.

Zeeke picked him up and tossed him from the room.

Balto smacked his head on the hard cement and the last thing he knew before he blacked out was two figures that had come running up the stairs and the two voices calling out.

Dad!!!

Come on lets go, said Zeeke to Sasha.

Then they both opened the door and ran out onto the stairs and down them and into the dark snowy forest that lay ahead of them.

Some have escaped Chester into the forest, said Lance.

Well we have to find the, said Chester a bit distracted.

What’s the matter, asked Lance.

My own brother and daughter and a devoted team member went with them, said Chester. Lance looked shocked then just behind them a fatal injured rabid dog began to laugh.

Boy Chester toy really are as stupid as Carver said, said the dying dog.

What do you mean, said Chester who had swung his head around to look at the dying rabid.

Well to put it this way do you remember when your daughter and brother made their entrance, said the dying dog Chester looked confused.

What do you mean by entrance, said Chester the dog looked like he would die laughing.

Didn’t you notice while the other hostage’s were terrified your beloved’s and friend were as clam as if they were just walking down the street when a blizzard that just by some luck lasted for a week hit and only your devoted team mate turned up, said the dying dog.

Chester’s eye’s widen in shock horror and sadness as what the dog said sunk in.

Their rabid all three of them are rabid, said Chester in a small voice.

Yes see what happens when you get the wrong dog’s you get them angry ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-h-, the dog laughing caught in his throat his eye’s glazed over his head slumped onto the floor and he was silent when Chester looked in too the dog eye’s their was no light there the dog was dead.

Help us Chester my dad’s hurt and my be contaminated with rabies, said a voice Chester turned around to see Kodi and Dingo hauling an unconscious Balto over their shoulder’s Chester barked for some help a man came over checked out Balto patched up his wounds and then gave him the toxin then he picked up Balto and took him outside.

The work continued for a while healing the wounded and killing the rabid when the work was done the human’s left the bodies in there and set fire to the whole factory.

Come on Sasha were almost there, said Zeeke they were now running through the woods to the spot to meet the other’s in cause anything went wrong when they got their they saw 10 member’s of the pack Zeeke and Sasha slipped in and were silent.

Blast those rotten dog’s, said Karla.

We just lost almost all of our pack to those rotten dog’s and let’s forget those human’s all we have now is me, our leader Carver Zeeke Sasha Max Trix Garth The Brother’s Grim and Fitz, said Karla in a angry voice just then Zeeke had an idea.

We can still get them all for I remember that my cousin lead’s a pack of 3 hundred wolf’s and if we can gain control, said Zeeke.

Then just started to laugh.

We will be almost invincible and I think I can gain entrance all I have to do is get in pass a few test’s get to guard her and then challenge her to her place as leader and win if all goes well I should be the new leader, said Zeeke in a sly voice.

Why Zeeke that-that just might work you crazy sick pup that just might work, said Carver in a happy voice as the team made their way back to Nome and once there they settled in for the night Balto had a dream where his mom came to him:

Balto my son you must save Aleu she is in grave danger your son Zeeke is alive and is plotting to do her great harm you must save her and her pack or Nome is domed!

Balto woke suddenly from his dream his mom had come to him again and this had been the most shocking visit yet and the shortest one.

Balto turned his head to look out of the glassless window in his boat the sun was beginning to come up he sighed stretched got up and deiced he was going to go tell Jenna about his dream and hear her advice on it while Balto headed for Jenna’s while another wolf/dog was making his way to a cave where he knew his sister Aleu and her wolf pack was at.

When he got there he was not surprised to see two wolf sentries at the entrance.

Stop state your name and why you are here, said one wolf.

I am a humble wolf who would like to join this pack I here from rumor that the strong-kind-and wise Aleu lead’s here and my name is Zeek, said Zeeke.

That is true and I will take you to her now ”hey Dash come here and take my post”, said the other wolf.

Zeeke felt a feeling of glee and relief pass over him for his dad had once told him that one from his first litter went to live with Aleu and relief for he knew Dash would not recognize him for he had left before he was born and there for did not know what he looked like.

Then a wolf/dog that Zeeke took for Dash for he to had never seen him came to the cave entrance.

I’m here John and it look’s like we might get a new member right, asked Dash to the wolf that had asked his name and he had given a false one just in cause his non-understanding dad had came here and told Aleu.

Yes that’s right now you can come with me, said John.

He entered the cave and Zeeke followed without a word.

When he entered the cave he was surprised to see that it was a lot larger from the inside then it looked on the outside.

John continued to lead Zeeke deeper into the cave until they came to a small entrance to what looked like a cavern with no back for it was dark in there.

Wait here, said John.

Zeeke did wait John entered the cavern and it suddenly lit up and their was some whispered words from what Zeeke could here then the wolf called John said, you may enter now.

Zeeke entered the cavern he saw that it was kinda small but he said nothing.

You must be Zeek I’m Aleu, said a voice in the back.

Zeeke turned and saw his sister in the back of the cavern her coat gray just as his dad told him it was.

I’m told by John that it is your wish to join our pack is that correct, said Aleu.

Yes that is correct, said Zeek showing respect for her the leader and the clan by lowing his tail and lifting his head up thus exposing his throat.

Aleu is pleased that this wolf is showing her the respect that is due.

Have you been in a pack before Zeek?, asked Aleu.

Yes I well I was until two month ago that was, said Zeeke lowering his head a bit to show his fake sadness but not to much for he need her to think he was a proper wolf.

What happened tell me please?, asked Aleu in a gentle voice.

I was chosen to protect the alphas along with some other’s but I was given the highest command out of the other’s that were chosen and everything was going great but as I learned nothing lasts forever then at least some thirty human’s attacked us they used all their new weapons on us we were fighting the best we could but we were losing so the alpha male Carver or Mr. Carver as we called him some times ordered me to take his mate and flee through the back entrance I of course listened and took her then left and on the way to a small cave that was used for emergencies only she got caught in a trap I managed to free her and with a slight limp in her left paw we reached the cave when we got inside I offered to clean her wound but she said:

No!

So I did not instead I went to the entrance to stand guard while she staid in the back we waited for hours but no one came then it was very late in the day when I turned around and walked to the back intending to tell her I would go get something to eat for us I turned around the big rock that hide her from view of any enemies incase we were attacked she would be safe back there and saw her laying down with her eye’s opened I cleared my throat but she took no notice of it I looked into her eye’s and saw their was no light in them a sudden and sad though came to me I lowered my head to her left paw and sniffed it I caught the smell of poison that human’s put in meat and leave out for us she was dead.

I felt like I had had failed her some how but I will never know for I stayed their and waited I could not return for he had also told me before I took off that I was not to return her until he himself or another one of our pack came to get me and his mate I waited for two weeks but no one came so I gave my respect’s then left I was going to come here for in my clan I heard rumors of you and thought that I would start over here and that is my sad story, said Zeeke making fake tear’s appear in his eye’s throughout his fake sad story.

That is indeed a very sad story but if I may ask how did she get poisoned?, asked Aleu.

I guess from the trap for on our way to the cave and on my way here I saw many trap’s I went and smelled them and found the smell of the same poison that took the alpha I was expected to
