Aniu reached her cave and collapsed sobbing. Her and Jasper's only son was now probably dead. Her wines and sobs echoed around the cave as she paused. Looking up at the sky she could see the northern lights but she looked at the stars. Remembering those nights she had spent with Jasper and then her son, Balto she swelled. A tear ran down her cheeks and she eased herself up. Slowly she walked to the mouth of the cave and there and then she let out a ginourmous howl of sorrow and pain. Then, she turned and walked back into the darkness of the cave.

Balto woke up, all he could remember was his mother launching herself towards him and then the dog that stopped her and a pain in his head. He looked around him. He also looked up and realised that he was in a cage! Startled, he got up.

"Mother!" he screamed.

"Help!" he bellowed out. 

Tears flooded his eyes, In his heart he knew noone could help him. He lay down and wept himself to sleep. But, when he was asleep a wolf named Carlos discovered him. Carlos was a kind wolf and he was black and blue. In the pack that he had come from Aniu was the leader. His brother, Niju had taken over the pack. Niju was leading the pack to do wrong things so Carlos decided it was his duty to bring back Aniu. Carlos came over to the pen to investigate Balto. The sent of human was strong but Aniu's sent still lingered.

"This is Aniu's pup!" he wispered to himself. (A shocked wolf he was)

Carlos knew what happend to wolf pups who came here and it wasn't pleasant! Luckily he knew how to open these cages. He knocked out the screws that held the door with his nose and opened the door. But he paused if he took this pup to the other wolves his sent would mask Aniu's and They would only be able to smell Carlos and Human. Carlos thought and rembered the kind goose Boris who lived on a boat wreck. Carlos quietly approached Balto, picked him up, and began his journey to the wreck.

Aniu stirred in her sleep. She was reliving the terrible drama that had gone on earlyer. Then through a calming mist Jasper walked up to Aniu and nuzzled her.

"Balto's okay, and he's going to be fine. but he will not be able to join the pack. But, you yourself must rejoin the pack. Havoc has happened and your guidence in needed you must reclaim your position in the pack before it's too late!" he clamed before vanishing into the mist.

Aniu woke with a start, but at least now she felt calmer. And she decided that in the morning she would rejoin the pack.

That morning, Balto woke to find a kind feathered face looking down at him. It was Boris the russian snow goose. Looking up at this feathered face, Balto realised that he was now going to be raised by a goose, but raised well. And also as Aniu journied she also felt in her heart that Balto was in good hands.
