Instead of stumbled, they met in the midair. His enemy, by the way, still kept lashing his paws, almost hit Alex on his muzzle. Luckily, Alex spun himself while still in the midair, using his own paws to make a scratch to his enemy face.

Then, all they knew was the situation became silent again. No sound was heard. Still, two wolves were standing from what was happened before, gazing at each other. His enemy face started bleeding a little.

“Interesting,” he said, starting to lick his own face from the blood, “You’re so powerful. I guess this job won’t be an easy one.”

“You have already known that,” Alex said, “Now, leave and never come back!”

“Sorry, I can’t do it,” he replied, “Beside, my job is far from done.”

They still stood up until the attackers turned around, leaving an evil grin and vicious gaze.

“I’ll be back soon,” he said, “Goodbye, Balto’s Guardian.”

Without wasting a time, he quickly ran and disappeared by the time that snow was beginning to fall down. Alex was still thinking about it, that someday he would come back to finish his job.

“Whatever you do…,” he thought, deep in his heart, “I will be right here. I will protect Balto, even I must lost my own life.”

Then, he started to go back, trying to forget of what had happened while still struggling to overcome it.

To be continued…
