Aniu would you mind telling me another story about when I was trying to run away from you?” Marty said. “Oh alright,” she stood up. “When you ran away from me you ran straight into the woods, I followed you in the woods and I saw you lying next to a tree. My guess was that you ran into the tree and got knocked out. I pulled you onto my back and carried you all the way here onto my boat home. Then you finally woke up.” Aniu chuckled. Marty stood up slowly trying to find the exit off the boat. “Well, thanks for not eating me. But I better go now my friends are probably waiting for me.” He said. When he was about to get off the boat he found it hard to leave her. “Are you going to be safe here alone?” He asked her. “I believe so.” she replied. She looked sad to see him go. Even Marty found it hard to leave a wolf. “Oh by the way how did you know my name and what was that you were doing around my home?” He asked her. “I was listening to your conversation with your friends. Then waited till you guys fell a sleep so I could find food around your home.” she said. He was finally satisfied that his one question was answered.  He thought that most dogs would insult her and run or fight if they found her. But he still had to go home. “Aniu I have to go home but will do you that I visit every so often.” He really wanted to know. There was a slight pause. “Sure Marty why not, it would be nice if you could.” she smiled. He excitedly left the boat and trotted home. He felt better that at least he could still see her. “MARTY!” yelled Nuke. He pounced on Marty, hurting all the sore muscles in his body. “Where were you Marty? We were looking all over for you!” Nuke cried. “I was just taking a walk around town! Please don’t freak!!” Marty lied. He didn’t want his friends to know that he was good a friends with wolf that might have saved his life from the freezing. “Sorry Marty I was just afraid you know. It’s just dawn and you don’t if wolves are wondering around.” Nuke said. Marty frowned. There wasn’t a whole lot to change Nuke’s mind about wolves. “Hey Marty, you had us all worried.” Dawn mentioned. “Ya, Marty, You even had the boss worried.” Binky said. All of his friends gathered around him asking him questions. He never replied though. “You guys are too worried about me! You guys were never like this! Why now!” Marty blurted. He was angry. But how was not easy for them to see that. Dawn stepped up towards Marty. “Marty we were worried about you so much was because of two reasons. Tiger was just sold to a couple a shooters. The people don’t know it, but all the dogs do. And the shooter is looking for wolves. And because your so big and strong like a wolf, they might mistake you for one.” she said. She was extremely concerned about Marty wellbeing.              

            The next VERY EARLY morning he went to see Aniu. “Hi Marty!” Aniu pounced happily towards Marty. “Hi Aniu.” said Marty. BANG!!!!!!!! Aniu’s and Marty’s head whirled around in the direction the sound came from. “Over here Dave! We got one! That’s a big load of fur!” said a voice way back in the distance were the sound came from. “Aniu run!!!!” cried Marty. “Marty what’s the problem?” asked Aniu. “Aniu run!! It’s the shooters!!!!!!! GO RUN NOW!!!” He yelled. A large black blur of enormous amount of wait jumped on him. Aniu ran away just in time and her white coat perfectly blended her in with the snow so she couldn’t be seen. “Oh hello there farty. I’ve been waitn’ for this moment for a long time, and I’m not so sure about you but, I’m glad it came true.” He chuckled. Tiger’s owners were far back and so were the guns’ which was good. Tiger did not expect something to come out of Marty. Marty had pushed himself up into Tiger’s chest blowing Tiger way off balance. Then Marty stood over Tiger and bit at his head. Tiger howled in pain he never expected. The same sized dogs rolled and bit at each other until Marty slipped. Marty lied on his side staring up at Tiger. Tiger was aiming for Marty’s neck and Marty shut his eyes. He felt no pain and thought he was dead. But he heard other growling of Tiger in the background. He opened his eyes to see Aniu had just saved his life. He stared at the fight opened eyed and mouth. She got a hold of his ear and tore it. Tiger screamed. Aniu growled loudly and stared to run after Tiger He ran like crazy in the other directions. Aniu came towards Marty. “Come on Marty run! Follow me!” she yelled. Marty followed running after her in the snow. She blended so well with snow that he found it hard for him to see her.  They ran far away from Nome, and he wasn’t sure if he would ever return home. They slowed down to a stop and both breathed heavily. “Where are we Aniu?” He wondered. “I don’t know Marty, but let’s lie here until morning.” she said. Aniu lied down in the snow and shivered. He knew he wasn’t a whole lot of warmth but he could try. He lied right next to her warm and furry body. She looked at him with a weary smile. He had a feeling that Tiger was going to the town dogs how he had tried to save Marty but Marty got blinded by the snow and fell of a cliff or something. He would obviously deal with it later. He soon fell asleep next to Aniu.

 

Around 9:00 in the morning~~

 

                  Marty slowly woke up hearing “oomph” in the distance. He turned his head in the direction of trees. Nope, he thought, nothing there. He got up and nudged Aniu. “Aniu, Aniu wake up.” he said softly. “What Marty what’s wrong?” she said quietly. “Well, I need a tour guide through this area and well, you’re my only tour guide he said smiling. She smiled back at him and got up. She then froze with a hard face. She looked behind Marty into the area of trees. “Come on Marty. I know a place that has shelter and is safe.” she sounded confident in her and walked away from the trees. He looked back at them. He had figured out that something in there was watching us. He a quite growl in that area and spun around. Something had pounced on him. “Marty!!!!” Aniu cried loudly. “Just…*choke*… run.” Marty gasped for breath. Something was choking him, and then he was free and breathing air. Suddenly, pain covered his head as something was pinching his neck blacked out.

 

(Now through Aniu’s eyes.) ~

 

            She saw everything, frozen struck. Marty was attacked by the same dog she fought yesterday. His owner grabbed the back of Marty’s neck and pinched the back of it. And now, he wasn’t moving, his eyes were closed, lying there limply. Tiger looked at Aniu, just realizing his second worst enemy was standing right before him. Tiger growled and stepped forward. “Shut up you mangy mutt.” said the owner. He obviously cou8ldn’t see Aniu and wasn’t happy with Tiger from the previous days. She couldn’t think straight and for some reason she started running in the opposite direction, towards the boat. She just kept running, never stopping until she reached her destination.

            She collapsed on the boat deck breathing hard. She felt heavy and sick. She fell asleep quickly.

 

Three days later-

She woke up with a groan. She felt even heavier then before. She got up slowly and walked over to the shore off the boat. She caught a fish and started eating it. By the second bite she felt sick to her stomach. She went towards the boat, leaving the fish behind.  What is wrong with me? She wondered. Once again she fell into a peaceful sleep.  Months went on by without Marty by her side. Everything was the boring same ole same ole. She felt a huge pain in stomach and her legs. It started to hurt worse. She cried a little for Marty and suddenly the pain died down. She heard a whimper. She lifted her head and looked behind her. There were three little balls of fur cuddled together. She smiled. One was a dark cream with white; the other looked just like Marty except lighter and slightly different Facial markings. The third had white paws and a gray tone color all over its body. She was proud of each one of them. She got up and cuddled around them. She wished Marty could see how beautiful they were. They were to her.

 

3 weeks later-

The gray one with white paws was named Luka. The one that looked like Marty was Balto. And the dark cream with white was Nia. The most energetic was Balto, the trouble maker was Luka, and Nia was the quite one. When Luka was out and Balto, Nia and Aniu were at home until they heard a gun shot. “No!” Aniu jumped up “Stay here. I will be back.” Aniu yelled. “Wait, mom!” Balto cried. But it was too late; Aniu had already jumped off the boat running. (Aniu) Aniu searched all over for Luka but couldn’t find her. “Mom!” screamed a familiar voice. Luka was running towards Aniu panting hard. “Mom I’m scared. Something was chasing me and at first I thought it was Balto it was too big.” then Luka started to sob. Something jumped from behind a tree towards Aniu. Aniu lifted her big paw and swiped the face of the creature. It tumbled and got up. It snarled and growled, then stopped. It’s faced relaxed and stared at Aniu. “A-Aniu?” it said. “Step into the light.’ Aniu said strongly. It stepped into the light. “Marty?” she said. “Aniu.” Marty smiled. “No mother!” Balto screamed. Nia and Balto came running and growling towards their mother. They started growling at Marty. “Children, its O.K. It’s is just your father.” said Aniu. They stopped growling and walked toward him. “Wow Balto, he does look like you.” said Nia. “Ya he does.” Balto had
