(It has no chapters, cause it's supposed to be kind of like a movie I guess...just scenes. I'm so weird, lol.)

I hope you enjoy it, I worked hard!

May have violent and bloody content...a love scene, and minor cussing. The reason I say 'may', is because I have no idea what I'm writing, I just do it and don't plan. Because Dusty is kind of evil, the reason is that I don't like her. And I don't like Aleu either.

Scene 1-He Hit Me

Shila raised her head, and opened her eyes. As her vision cleared, she scented Suka was coming back in the cave. The large brown wolf shook the rain from his pelt. As he passed her, Shila scented something that clung to his pelt...The scent she had before she had her own pups. This alerted her, and made her jumps to her paws. Shila knew that Suka and her had been drifting apart...but she never thought he'd leave her for someone else.

"Where have you been? WHO have you been with?" She growled loudly, but was thankful her pup, Emma, was asleep in a chamber far from this part of the cave.

Suka flattened his ears. "Nowhere! Don't you trust me?"

"No," Shila growled flatly, "I don't. You've been sneaking off for days, and when you come back...You smell like...her."

He shook his head. "I don't sneak off, Shila. I just...go for a walk." He lashed his black tipped tail.

Shila snarled disbelievingly. "Yeah, right. You mean a moonlit walk with another girl."

That caught his attention, and he stepped forward, curling his lip. "Guys like me...have certain needs, Shila.."

Shila spit at him. "Needs? You're sick with them, then!" She growled at him and flattened her ears. "I'm your mate, you can't treat me like-"

Suka lost his temper, and he hit her face with his paw. She flew backwards onto the stone floor. When she looked up, the side of her face was bloody and she was looking at him in horror. He had never hit her before...

His hackles raised, and he leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Look hon, if this is going to work out, you're going to have to keep your mouth shut."

He raised his paw again when Shila didn't speak. "You hear me? You're gonna tell nobody, or you go."

She shivered and slowly nodded, her eyes wide. He snorted. "Good. Now I'm gonna go back, and I'm gonna enjoy my night off. Unless you'd like to be the girl I'm staying with?"

Shila quickly shook her head, and he must have got a kick out of that. He turned away and left the cave. Shila got up on her paws. What am I going to do...?

She started to pace, and tried to climb through another tunnel that lead outside. She heard someone bark, and she quickly jumped back. Suka's neck fur was bristling. "You going somewhere?"

The black wolfdog shook her head. "No, not anymore."

He clawed the stone floor. "Where were you going?"

"I wanted to see if the rain had cleared up, so I could go hunting. We're in need of some food...Emma doesn't drink milk anymore, and she needs some meat for breakfast tommorrow." Shila lied. She was-sadly-a good liar, and had been all her life. She never used it for bad reasons, thankfully, and she came up with excuses quick.

He nodded, partly convinced, and left for real this time. She hung around, and waited about an hour before she was sure he was gone. Whenever he left, he didn't come back until many hours later...and once it had been three days.

She shook all over, and let her head lean on a stone wall. She cried...This was unusual for her, and she couldn't stop. She had grown up around three brothers, and no sisters. It had toughend her up, and she rarely ever cried.

She left and went into Emma's chambers when she finally calmed down another hour later. She lied down beside the black wolf pup, and cuddled next to her. Emma curled up in joy, and snuggled closer to her mother. They soon fell asleep.

 

Scene 2-Enough

Over the next few days, Emma was beggining to walk and talk. She was learning so much, and her father was out all day and half the night with whoever he was getting his 'needs' from.

Shila was getting sick of it, and fast...

 

Scene 3-Get Out

Suka was circling Shila as she tore into her rabbit. Emma was toying with a mouse in the corner of the chamber. "I'll see you later then?" Shila didn't respond, and he flattened and ear, and nudged her.

"Hey, come on..."

Shila jerked around and looked him in the face, throwing her rabbit halfway across the room. "Stop it, ok? Look, I caught you! And I really don't think it's right for you to be putting me in this position, Suka!"

He jerked his head back, and stepped away. She advanced on him, growling. Emma looked up from the corner, close to tears.

"I won't be treated this way, not anymore, you hear?! I've had enough!"

He snarled and started to lunge at her. She was prepared, she had been for days, and leapt out of the way. He hit the wall, and staggered to his paws. "Don't make me do this, Shila..." He had blood running down his face, where Shila had lashed out at him as he passed.

"Why not? You could only hit me when I wasn't expecting it, right? Is that it?" She was leaping from paw to paw, itching for a fight now.

That got him. He lunged at her and they bowled into each other. They tumbled around the chamber, and she finally kicked him away. She got to her paws, blood pouring down her sides. She ran towards Emma, and picked her up by the scruff.

Emma was crying now, and shaking. Shila ignored this, and headed for the tunnel. She climbed through, and the last thing she saw before she got out was Suka recovering, and his stare burned into her memory forever.

She ran into the blizzard outside, and headed forward, keeping to the shadows. She went all through the night, and by morning the blizzard had stopped. She set Emmad own, and nuzzled her.

Emma shook, and spoke for the first time since yesterday. "I'm sad, mommy."

"Me too, Em...Me too..." They walked side by side into the open fields.

 

Scene 4-Welcome to Nome

Shila entered a small town early the next morning. Emma was asleep on her back, and Shila was staggering from her wounds...She was sure they were getting infected. To make matters worse, it was raining.

She finally collapsed in the snow. Just resting...Suddenly, a few dogs came into her blurry view. She blinked away the rain, and looked up. She jumped to her paws, and Emma shook herself awake, standing in the snow. She tucked her tail between her legs and stood near her mother.

Shila flattened her ears. A large golden/tan dog headed towards her, and tipped his head to the side. He muttered something to one of his buddies, and a few more dogs headed out of their homes through their dog doors. Shila lowered her head, neck fur bristling.

Soon, she heard them all growling at her, but some remained unsure, and some sympathetic.

A brown scruffy wolfdog pushed his way to the front. He looked at Shila. "Are you ok, miss?"

Shila blinked, and saw a red/white husky pad to the brown wolfdog's side. She gasped at Shila's condition, and turned to her companion. "Balto, look at her. She need our help."

Shila felt numb. She was standing infront of the most famous dog of all Nome...She'd only heard him mentioned a few times, by wolves passing through who stopped to ask permission to use her cave for the night. She had let them, and as payment, they told stories about Balto.

Balto took a step forward. "What is your name?"

She controlled herself, and took a breath. "Shila...My name is Shila."

Balto nodded and padded closer. "Would you like for us to help you?"

Shila nodded back. "Yes, please...If you could just find us a place to stay for a while." She moved her bushy tail out from infront of Emma, revealing her pup's unhealthy condition.

Balto turned to the red husky. "Jenna, go to the boat and get some blankets ready." Jenna took off as fast as she could, and a dog who looked similar to her padded forward.

"Let me help too, Dad." He blinked in a friendly way at Shila.

Balto flicked his ears. "Ok, Kodi. Let's get her to the boat."

Kodi padded forward and let Shila lean on him, limping after Balto, while he held Emma gently by the scruff.

Soon, they arrived at an old boat by the beach. The red husky was waiting by it, and ran forward to take Emma from Balto. She climbed onto the boat, and headed to a room inside it. Kodi nudged Shila forward, and she went on ahead after Jenna.

Jenna had lain Emma down on a soft blanket. The husky looked up at Shila. "Welcome to Nome," She said gently.

 

Scene 5-Through Kodi's Eyes

Balto looked at Kodi. "What do you suppose happened to them? Shila looked pretty beat up."

Kodi shrugged. "Whatever it was, they're in trouble. I can tell..." From the moment he saw her eyes, he knew something was bothering her.

Balto blinked and went on after Jenna. Kodi followed, wondering what happened to the two wolfdogs they had taken in.

The black female dog was standing up infront of Jenna. She looked quite embarassed with Jenna fussing over her and the pup. "It's ok...We just need to stay for the night."

Balto smiled. "It's alright, you can stay as long as you have to. Don't worry about it." He padded over and sat beside Jenna.

Kodi lingered in the doorway...Something was not right, Shila looked distressed and nervous, worse than any dog should ever be.

Shila flattened an ear, and shuffled her paws. "That's...very kind of you. Thanks."

Kodi couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Wolfdog or not, she was like a pure bred husky through his eyes.

Suddenly Kodi felt another dog by his side. He turned and looked at his brother, Dingo.

"Just had to come and see if it was true," He exclaimed.

Kodi tipped his head. "If what was true?"

"If there was another wolfdog besides us in town." Dingo muttered.

It was true, they were the only wolfdogs around. The rest were either scared of wolves or dispised and wouldn't go near them. It was no wonder, they were the only ones who weren't
