her," smiled the man.

 "Okay then, Brokk. You leaving tomorrow than?" said Nick shaking Brokk's hand.

"Yup, you guys can keep her for today to say goodbye, and I'll pick her up tomorrow morning," smiled Brokk walking out the door, "I'll also give you the money tomorrow."

                Hung sat next to his father's den. He was waiting for his father to come back from the late night patrol. He was curious about the "humans" his father talked about. He can tell that they were dangerous in the way his father wanted the pack to go to their winter hide out. Hung watched as all the other wolves went in their dens for a good night rest. He watched as his brother, Rogus, and a couple of other wolves went on the poles to watch for outsiders. The pack's beta, Brigain, went inside his father den, which is where the beta also sleeps.

                Soon Hung saw his father walking in the camp. Hung wanted to just leap over there and ask him, but he knew that wouldn't be a good idea. He waited for his father to walk in his den and then he fallowed. The den was a warm den. It had a little waterfall inside that was as sparkly as the stars at night. It smelled like fresh grass, which is what Hung always liked about this den. Hung sat next to his father with curious sparkling eyes.
    

"If you keep staring at me with those wide blue eyes someone might think you are still a pup," chuckled Kona.
 

     "What are humans?" Hung asked.
 

                When Brigain heard that word he got up and walked over. He sat right next to Kona and looked at Hung with serious eyes, "I don't think you should know."

      "Brigain, he should know. After all he is the heir of the pack, he has the right, " said Kona.
 

     "But he is still a pup. Once he gets curious he will go out and see for himself what they are," growled Brigain.
 

     "I am not a pup. I am three years old now. I have a right to know what a threat to my own pack is. If you do not tell me I will go myself to see how dangerous they are, and what they are," answered Hung with a serious look. 
 

     "See, he is already talking like a true leader, and he hasn't even started the training,” laughed Kona.

                Brigain stared at Hung. He never really did like Hung. He pushed him to the limit, he even gets in trouble sometimes. He is an old wolf, but he always wants the fellow pack members to work until they cannot anymore.
 

    "I want to know," Hung said staring into his father's eyes.
 

 "Very well," sighed Kona, "Humans are these creatures that are very smart. If they come and hunt us they have these long hard sticks that shoot pellets out. If the pellets hit you there is a great chance that you will die. They also sometimes come on these flat small trees and have dogs carried them, “explained Kona.
 

 "What are dogs?" Hung asked.

"They are like us, but they serve those humans," spitted Brigain.

 "Yes. They hug up to them and always seem so happy with them even though they hunt and hurt us," sighed Kona.

                 Hung walked out of the cave. These humans seemed like animals. Why would these dogs help those hurt animals that are almost just like them? His father had said not to tell anyone else in the pack. He thought that it would be better that they don't know that there is a big threat to them. Hung took this all in, but didn't know what to think. All he knew is that they had to go to the winter hide out tomorrow morning.

                Rachel jumped onto the back of the truck. She really didn't want to leave her family, so she was sad. She looked behind her as the car started to leave. She saw her mother crying and her father trying not to. To make them feel better, Rachel smiled and waved goodbye. She knew that she will see them in a year. Rachel yawned when she was far away that she couldn’t see her parents. She curled up and slept on the blankets in the truck.

                When Rachel woke up from the jolt of the car she saw that she was on a small land. She looked around and saw tones of sled dogs around. She guessed that this was where the sled teams trained. She heard about this island before from Balto. It is called Ready Island. It’s to get the sled dog teams ready to race for big competitions.

                Brokk put a leash on Rachel and chained her up next to a brown and white male husky. He smiled at her and started to eat his food. Rachel looked at the other team mates. There was a brown male husky, a white female husky, two red male huskies, and a male black Alaskan malamute. She learned that their names were Brownee, Lulu, Jack and Mack and Cizor. She smiled at them all and laid down on the soft snow. She didn't know what to say since she wasn't all great at meeting new people. She saw food in the bowl in front of her and found out that she was hungry. She started to eat her food when she saw white husky legs in front of her. Rachel looked up and saw a strong muscular black and white husky who has piercing blue eyes. Rachel gasped and stood up straight.
    

"Well I am," he smiled, "My own daughter, here on Ready Island. I would have thought one of your brothers would be here, but I guess at least since you have my blood in you it's alright."

"What do you mean alright?" asked Rachel.
 

 “Girls racing, psh, that should have never happened," smirked Steele walking off with a couple of other dogs.
 

                Rachel could feel the blood in her veins. How much did she want take a bite out of her own father. She hated his stuck upness, and all the things he did to her family. How dare he call Rachel his daughter? To Rachel she only had Balto as her father.
 

"You're related to that freak?" asked Lulu coming up.
 

"Sadly," growled Rachel, "I rather I wasn't."
 

"I don't blame you sis," said Brownee, "That is was bad dog."

"Tell me about it. He only cares for one thing. And that one thing is to be the best sled dog and pass his

Genes down to any girl he can get his paws on," growled Rachel.

“Seems like you know that pretty well," said Jack.
 

"Yeah, I saw my fair share of him flirting with girls," sighed Rachel.
 

"I would hate to be his pup," said Mack,
 

"Yeah, you would," said Rachel turning her back.

                Hung picked up the young pup and put him on the rock. Right know him and his pack were heading to the winter hide out. The hid out was two or three days away. The pack was use to this by now and had no problems with this. His pack members usually have the strongest leg muscles there are since they live on a rocky surface. The pups usually whine and never stop until they are sleeping or at the new place. He watched his pack carefully. Since he found out how terrible humans were and their tamed wolves he was more cautious. He didn't want any of his other pack members finding out.

                 "Haysen, Krow, Birk," said Kona swinging his tail. The three walked up to him. Haysen was a dark brown and cream wolf. He was built up strong and tough. Krow was Hung's twin brother. They were very close. Krow looks almost like Hung, but lighter in color. Birk, he was a quite type, and almost black in color, "You three come hunting with me. Hung, take care of the pack."
 

                Hung nodded to his father. He nugged his little puppy sibling, Kur, to a little den he dug under snow. His mother soon followed. He looked around at his small pack. There were a total of ten members. His sister Mari was pretty much the same color as him, but smaller. Keeko and Dula were from a pack that got killed from bears. They had family members in this pack once, but they got old and died. They were lighter than normal and had white instead of cream, but they made good pack
