to admit that it was true at all.

“Very funny, Dusty,” Kodi said, trying to stand up, “Now, could anyone help me out?”

While they were trying to help Kodi, something that not so far from them was moving slowly, trying to stand up too, just like Kodi did.

“Hey, guys,” Dusty said, looking in the direction, “What is that?”

“What?” Kirby asked, “I don’t see anything.”

“It’s there, Kirby…,” Dusty answered, pointing to it, “There is something moving right behind it.”

True of what Dusty had said, something was moving. It wasn’t clearly what it was until it came and stood up. There, a beautiful white wolf with blue eyes was shaking her head, trying to get a clear vision from the collision before.

“It’s a wolf!” Ralph shouted, “What is she doing here?”

“She is kind of suspicious,” Kodi said, still looking at the female wolf, “Maybe we should ask her.”

Then, they were walking and moving closer to her, seeking some answer of the reason of why she was here.

“Hey, you!” Kodi asked, looking thorough to her, “What are you doing in here?”

“Yeah,” Dusty added, “This isn’t a place for wolves for hanging around.”

The female wolf just remained silent, looking at the other direction in order to find some answer through her mind.

“Excuse me, I’m asking you…,” Kodi said, impatient of the answer, “What are you doing in here?”

“Nothing,” she answered softly, “I was just walking.”

“Just walking?” Ralph asked, disbelief on her answer, “Are you sure? It’s kind of strange that there’s a wolf walking at here.”

The female wolf just glanced around and back, looking to Kodi and his friends.

“So, what if I was…,” she said, “It’s my business anyway.”

“Perhaps…,” Kodi replied, “Or there was something behind it. You even look more suspicious to me now.”

The female wolf, from patient became impatient due to what Kodi had said to her, making her to be such an investigate thing.

“What’s the matter with you?” she snapped back, “Just leave me alone here.”

“I can’t!” Kodi replied, looked angry at her, “You might do something terrible if I just left you here. Beside, I can’t trust the wolves.”

“Oh, yeah! And I can’t trust you too,” she said, gazing sharply to Kodi’s eyes, “Humans and dogs are just the same. They can’t be trusted very well.”

 

There was a moment of silence until Kodi began to show his teeth, assuming an attacking stance, his friend were just doing the same thing too. While they were ready, the female wolf was just looking them patiently, stood up and remained calm.

“So, this is it…,” she thought, “I must defence myself now.”

By the time she had been thinking, Kodi started to run and leapt to her, using a full power to knock her down. Instead of attacking, she just avoided his attack quickly by moved her body to the right and span around, using her paws to pinned down him. As a result of this, Kodi now was laying on below her while she still stood up and pressed her paws to Kodi’s back so that he couldn’t move.

“Don’t move!” she shouted, forcing his friend to stop, “Or your friend will be in danger.”

His friend by the way, stopped and shocked when they looked at her, beating Kodi easily for less than a second without any fierce fights.

“Hey, let me out of here!” Kodi shouted, struggling to release himself, “You can’t do this to me!”

“Of course, I can!” she said, pinning Kodi back off, “Beside, you attacked me first, didn’t you?”

The situation became complex now, Kodi and his friend were struggling to finish the problem while the female wolf was just wanting to end this pathetic fight. Eyes were gazing eyes, as much as everyone prepared the next move. It clearly became uncontrollable until someone shouted at the distance, far away from them. The voice that would finish it off.

“Stop!” someone shouted from the distance, “Stop this entire nuisance!”

When they all looked at the direction, they were seeing Balto, came down from the hill with Jenna at his side. The female wolf began to release Kodi from her grip, moving back from him.

“What was going on in here?” Balto asked to everyone, “Why you were fighting?”

Kodi started to stand up, glanced at the female wolf and back to his father.

“It was her fault, dad!” Kodi said, pointing to the female wolf, “She did it all.”

“Yeah,” Ralph said, trying to support Kodi, “She was pinning down Kodi and warning us to not get closer.”

“Is that true?” Balto asked, “You did all of it.”

“They were just asking too much. It made me feel uncomfortable,” the female wolf answered, looking to them, “Beside, he attacked me first. I just defence myself by pinning him down.”

“What?” Kodi snapped back, “It was you that…”

“Kodi!” Balto shouted, “Stop it! Just go back to the town and I will explain the entire situation by then.”

“But, dad…,” Kodi pleaded, “She was…”

“Kodi!” Jenna held him off, “You heard your father, now just go back to the town.”

Kodi looked irritated by the words, but finally, he knew he must listen to them.

“Okay,” Kodi said, began to turn around, “Bye dad, mom.”

With it, Kodi and his friend were going far from them, away from the trouble.

“So,” Balto said, taking a deep breath, “At least, nobody hurt.”

Then, the wind began to blow coldly, making them to shiver. They started to go back to Balto’ boat, a place that they could talk and shared everything in their mind, and to get a warm.

“I’m sorry for making such trouble,” the female wolf started, hesitated in her voice, “I was just looking my friend. Maybe, he is somewhere now.”

“Don’t worry about that,” Balto said, started to chuckle, “Kodi always looks like that.”

The female wolf began to smile too, looking around to find something.

“Well, if you don’t mind…,” she said, started walking away, “I’ll leave now.”

“Wait, Lani!” Balto shouted, stopping her, “I thought you were staying here now.”

The female wolf startled by the words. She didn’t know why he had already known her name, and why he thought she would be staying there now.

“What?” Lani replied, looking to Balto, “How do you know my name? And why I have to stay in here?”

“Your friend, Alex,” Balto explained, “He told me everything. He asked me if he and you could stay in here due to complicated reason.”

“Oh…,” Lani said, beginning to understand, “He did it.”

Balto just nodded.

“Thank you very much,” she said, looking at Jenna, “By the way, who is your friend?”

“I’m Jenna,” she said, introducing herself, “I’m Balto’s mate. And you have met Kodi, he is our son.”

“Mate?” Lani looked confused, “I thought dogs and wolves were having some significant different.”

Balto, for hearing this, was just laughing.

“I know that,” he answered, “We have found our similarities too. It’s love.”

“Balto,” Jenna became shy, “You don’t have to tell it.”

“But I did it!” he said, smile on his face.

They began to chuckle and nuzzled, showing that they really loved each other. Lani just stared to them, and then she decided to go out, taking sightseeing.

“Excuse me…,” she said, “If you don’t mind, I want to take a walk, just see the surroundings.”

Balto and Jenna became embarrassed, knowing that they lost themselves in the middle of love.

“Oh, okay,” Balto said, “We will see you later.”

Lani gave a smile then, climbed down and went out once again to the outside.

“Dogs and wolves,” she thought, shaking her head, “So, the world has changed.”

 

As far as Lani went out, checking around, someone was watching from far away, out of the distance. It was Alex, who was still looking around, examining something while standing at the cliff.

“Looks clear…,” he thought, “I thought they would be here first before me.”

He began to climb down, watching every step he took to get down from the cliff. When a shadow appeared above him in a sudden, he quickly jumped down, glancing at it.

It was a wolf, male with brown fur on all of his body, except black on his four legs. His eyes were black as same as Alex, but in vicious way. Alex himself could tell that this wolf wasn’t an ordinary wolf.

“Don’t be afraid!” the male wolf said, an evil grin on his face, “I’m not too dangerous.”

Alex scanned him, still looking him at the top of the cliff, giving him a summary of who he really was.

“I don’t think so,” Alex replied, beginning to serious, “You look more dangerous than what you had said before.”

“Well…,” he said, beginning to chuckle, “It seems you were cleverer than I thought.”

“So…,” Alex started, “You were sent here to kill him.”

The male wolf just shook his head, pretending it was wrong.

“Don’t say that…,” he said, his eyes became vicious, “I was sent to eliminate, not to kill. Kill is crueler, you know.”

“It’s same,” Alex answered him, “Beside, I can’t let you to do it.”

“Oh, don’t worry…,” he replied, starting to climb down to the place where Alex stood up, “Today isn’t the day. I just spy the situation first.”

Alex still remained calm, not wanting to be distracted by him. There was a moment of silence before the male wolf started to speak again.

“By the way,” he began, positioning himself in attacking stance, “How about do some exercise? I want to know how good you are.”

By the time he said it, he leapt forward to him, lashing a paws without wasting a time. Alex, instead of attacking, he chose to avoid it by jumping back, evading his paws that were so close. Then, he took a chance that his enemy had made, using his own momentum to tackle him, but his enemy was faster too. He blocked the attack just by using his paws.

“Good,” he commented, still in attacking stance, “You were better than I thought. You aren’t an ordinary guardian.”

At the moment, they were still facing each other. Then, he leapt forward again in a sudden. Instead of going straight, he jumped passing Alex to the rock behind him and pushed himself by using his legs, giving him more speed to lash his paws by the momentum.

“What the…,” Alex thought, glancing at him.

He knew he had a less time to avoid this one, so he jumped away from the enemy behind him. Instead of stumbled,
