others to kill. He decided he would kill Mell next, but wait till they discovered the blood on Balto's blanket.

Balto went home, and brought Doc, and a few other dogs that were going to be in the D.I.S. Balto ran up the little ramp to make sure everything was good so that he could bring the rest up. Balto then saw his blanket covered in Dypsy's blood. "What the heck!" yeled Balto. "Is everything ok Balto?" asked Doc. The dogs started to walk toward Balto. Balto began to panic. He lifted a board in the floor, and put the bloody blanket under it. Then before the dogs could see what he was doing, Balto sat on the piece of wood so it wouldn't pop up and reveal the bloody blanket. The dogs looked at Balto, and Balto had a creepy smile on his face."What's with the face? It is happy, but yet also disturbing." "Oh. I was making a face?..." said Balto. Doc looked down on what Balto was sitting on. "Balto, would you mind standing up for a moment?" asked Doc. "Um, well, i like sitting here. It is all nice and warm." "Get up now, or we will arest you and put you under the hospitial with Steele." Balto growled, then stood up. The part of the floor Balto was sitting on lifted up a little. One of the dogs went over and looked under it, and pulled out the bloody blanket. The rest of the dogs gasped. "Balto! Can you explain this?" Doc said, shocked. "No, i can't. I don't even know were the blood came from." said Balto. "Well, this is Dipsy's blood. It is the same collor that we found on the jerky bag." Balto let out a sigh. One of the dogs came over to Balto and said, "You are under dog arrest. Until we find out on how this blanket got covered with blood, you will be forced to be thrown under the hospitial." "No! I didn't do this! You have to believe me!" said Balto. "I'm sorry, Balto. But this is proof that you murrdered Dypsy." Balto was taken to the mill to see what should be Balto's fate. Once Jenna heard what had happened, she got as many dogs to come to the mill. "Balto, why?......" She thought.

Once Balto and the other dogs were in the mill, Doc began to speak. Mell was Balto's opponent. "Mell, what do you have to present us?" asked Doc. "Well, i have known Dypsy for a very long time. When i heard that Dipsy was murrdered, i couldn't dare come here. But i did so i could see what fate we should order Balto to. Now, Balto has no record of doing bad things. But we have proof that Balto murrdered Dypsy. Mel draged in the bag of jerrky, and Balto's blanket, and presented it to the dogs. "Now, we found this bag of beef jerky in the store. The blood on the bag matches the blood on Balto's blanket. That is the only proof that i have. I say we kill someone special to Balto for what he did to Dypsy, like Kodi or Aleu." "No! you can't do that!," yelled Balto. "After what i did to save the children here in Nome, and that i saved the pilot from the airplane, i don't understand why you would think i would do such a thing!" "I'm sorry Balto. But we have proof. All thoose in favor of Balto guilty, say I." Then almost all the dogs said I, exept for Jenna. Doc talked with a few of the dogs, then went to Balto. "Balto, we think it is only fair that you suffer the same pain that you caused Mel. We all know that you and Jenna are in love. Have you two reproduced lately?""That is so rude of you to ask that!" yelled Balto. "Say yes or no or we will have you executed here and now!" Jenna began to cry. "Fine... yes we have. We did this morning." said Balto. "Well, when Jenna's pups are born, we will have them killed. My order is final." "No!," screamed Jenna, "I wont let you kill my pups!" "Im sorry Jenna, but the desision is made. Balto, once we have killed your new pups, you will be banished from Nome for 3 years. Do you understand?" asked Doc. Balto looked up at Doc, then growled."Yes. I do." "Good. Now leave. Enjoy you last months here in Nome Balto. Im sorry it has to be this way." said Doc.

Balto left the mill, and looked for Jenna. He found her sitting on Bear Rock. As Balto approched her, she said, "Balto, i know you were telling the truth. But it is hard for me to believe that you were because of the blood on your blanket. Because of this, my pups will be born, then killed. Do you know how painfull it will be to watch my pups be killed? I don't think i can do this. But luckily it wont be our first pups." Jenna ran off, leaving Balto alone. "Who would do this to me?" Balto said to himself. Balto then felt a feeling of anger and hatred rage through him.

Jenna slowly became pregnant, and Doc went to check on Jenna to see if she had given birth yet. Steele watched his plan. "Exelent. My plan is working just fine. I will kill another to make Balto's sentence more permanent. Steele sneaked into town, looking for another dog. He then noticed the mail dogs come in. He saw Jenna come over to Kodi. When the 2 left, Steele went and followed Kirby. While Kirby was asleep, Steele bit into Kirby's neck, killing him just as fast as Dypsy. Steele draged Kirby's body to Balto's home, and laid it down on Balto's new blanket.

When Doc went to see if he could find Balto, he instead found Kirby. Laying dead on the blanket. Doc ran and got all of the dogs in the town to come over and look. While Balto was returning home, he noticed tons of dogs at his home. "What's going on here! Leave my home!" Doc draged Kirby's body to Balto. "Oh no. Not again." Balto thought. "Balto. This has gone far enough. Leave the town now. Balto saw Jenna come over. Once Jenna saw Kirby dead, she said, "Balto, i cant believe you anymore. I'm sorry. Don't ever come near me ever again! " Balto noticed Kodi and the other mail dogs behind her, looking at Balto with sad eyes. "Jenna i--" Jenna interupted, "Dont speak to me Balto. Who are you going to kill next? They are already going to kill my pups when they are born. So who are you going after next?!" Jenna began crying, and she ran off. "Dad, im sorry" said Kodi. "Balto, from this moment forward, you are banished from Nome until the day you die. Now leave!" Balto ran from his home, and toward the woods. He had no idea of where he was going. Balto sat on a hil and began to howl, mourning his old life. "Who would do such a thing to me?" Balto asked himself.

While Balto was sitting on the hill, he heard wolves howling. "Maybee i can join their pack. I was already banished from Nome..." said Balto. He began to cry. He noticed the wolf pack running through a valley. "I can't believe what has happened. After what i did for Nome, they shung me, and Banish me. Jenna hates me now, along with Kodi. How could my life get so screwed up, and who would do this to me?" said Balto.

The wolf pack changed direction with a sharp turn, and now heading for Balto. They were howling as they ran, which frightened Balto a bit. They circled him. Cutting off all routes to exit. "What do you want? I didn't do anything to you." said Balto. One wolf steped forward slowly. "Papa? Is that you?" "Aleu?" "Yes. It is me. But it is I who can't believe it is you. Why are you sitting here, and not with my mom in Nome?" asked Aleu. "Well, this is hard to say. I was banished from Nome. I was accused of murder. Your mother hates me. Along with Kodi." Aleu stepped back, shocked with sorrow. "Im sorry, papa. Who is Kodi?" "Kodi is one of your brothers. Don't you remember him? You were howling and Kodi came over and said that he wanted to get a human, and chew on their socks. Don't you remember, Aleu?" "No. I don't. Im sorry for what they did to you. We came here so i could see you." said Aleu. "Well, i am happy to see you. But i think it is at a bad time. I am never aloud in Nome ever again.

Aleu's pack stayed with Balto for a few days. "Balto, did you realy murder the 2 dogs?" asked Aleu. "No. Someone else did, and the dogs are blaming me for it. I just can't believe they would do this to me after what i did for them," Balto began to cry a little, "The worst part is that even Jenna hates me now. Along with my other children. You believe me, don't you Aleu?" "Why should i have a reson not to believe you. I know you would never do such a thing papa." Aleu howled, and Balto joined her.

Back in Nome, Jenna was sitting with Kodi. "Kodi, why would your dad do such a thing? I have known balto for over 3 years, and i know he shouldn't have done that." said Jenna. "Mom, i don't think Balto murrdered Dipsy and Kirby. Someone is blaming him. It can't be Boris for two resons : Boris is a old snow goose, and that Boris went on vacation with Stella. I wonder were he is right now." Kodi finished what he was saying, and went somewere into town, leaving Jenna alone. A tear rolled down her face.

It was almost nightfall, and Balto was sitting on the mountain which he showed Jenna the plane last year. "Mother, please tell me who has done this to me." he said. He thought nothing would happen, but then white fog surrounded him. "My son, i can't reveal alot to you. But i can reveal this. The one who has done this to you was someone you voilently hated....." The fog then cleared, and Aleu came up behind him. Dad, my pack and i are leaving to Nennana tomorow morning. I was wondering if you could take me to see my mother." Balto knew she was despratly wanting to see her mother. "Aleu, i am sorry. But i can't, i was banished. But since you realy want to see her, we can go very quickly." Aleu's face filled with joy. "Yay! I get to see mom, i get to see mom." Aleu was hoping around like crazy. "Aleu, please stop that. Now, if you realy want to see your mother, we must go now."

Balto took Aleu down the mountain, and into Nome. Balto and Aleu sneaked quietly through alleys, and any possible route they could take without being seen. Balto and Aleu were finaly behind Jenna's house. "Now, Aleu, go in, say hi, and hurry back out. If they catch me, i am dead meat." Aleu hurried inside, and left Balto outside. Balto noticed the dogs coming toward Jenna's house. "Jenna.... Her pups... Oh no..." Balto
