Read Fanfic : Where The Heart Takes You

low sunlight he reached the end of town. He smelled wolves. They were close. Kodi, Shanti, Jenna, Boris, Kirby, Dusty and Ralph arrived. Before they could ask what Balto was doing they all saw two dark shapes in the open snowy area.

‘It’s them!’ Balto shouted and he ran after them followed by the rest. Kodi worried about having Shanti go there as well, but before he could do anything Shanti was already following the others and Kodi quickly ran after her.

‘Stop!’ Balto yelled. To everyone’s surprise the two dark shapes stopped. When they got closer they saw that it were two wolves.

Both wolves looked at them. The male was a dark grey with black paws. The female was white with brown paws. In a way she resembled shanty, but the colours on a different place. Shanti pushed through the crowd and stopped when she saw the two big wolves. Kodi stopped behind her. The female looked stunned and happy when she looked at Shanti. The male stepped forward to her. Kodi quickly stood in front of her. The male growled showing his teeth. Kodi responded with his own growl.

‘Give her to us!’ The male ordered. Kodi did not say a thing, but gently pushed Shanti behind the others with his paw. The male growled and the female joined him. Kodi stepped forward showing no fear, what the sled dogs and Jenna and Boris certainly wer showing now. Balto stepped next to his son and both nodded.

Where the Heart Takes You

Chapter five: Fight for Someone Important

Balto and Kodi faced their opponents without fear. Though Balto was a bit worried for Kodi. The tow wolves stepped forward again, Balto and Kodi not moving an inch. The rest behind them did however step back a bit giving them their space.

Kodi and Balto walked sideways away from each other. Kodi faced the male while Balto faced the female. Without warning the male charged forward and bit Kodi in the neck. Kodi howled in pain. Balto tried to get to his son, but was cut off by the female wolf. Both charged each other, the female biting Balto’s paw and Balto biting her neck.

Kodi struggled and got loose from the male. Before the male could attack again Kodi bit his back causing the male to howl in pain. He was more angry than before now and roughly turned around causing Kodi to let go and immediately aimed to bite Kodi’s chest. Kodi rolled over his back to avoid him and jumped up.

Balto and the female were continuesly trying to bite each other. She bit Balto’s paw and Balto bit her neck in return. This went on and on.

The others were looking stunned. They knew Balto could fight well, but never thought Kodi would be so good. Shanti looked stunned as well, but seeing these wolves she started to feel nervous. It seems as though they knew her and seeing she was found alone she got a bad feeling.

Kodi howled highly and the others saw blood pouring over his back from his neck. He had a deep teeth mark in his neck and the blood slid down over his back. Kodi stumbled to get up and even though he felt his strength leave him he charged at the male. The male easily avoided him and bit his back causing more blood to appear. Kodi dropped down on the snow leaving a puddle of blood on the ground. The male stood still for a moment before turning to the group.

Balto was still struggling against the female. He tried desperately to get to Kodi. He was so distracted the female knocked him of his feet. Balto pushed her away and immediately jumped at her and bit at her throat. She dodged it barely leaving a small cut across her throat. She growled angrily and aimed for Balto’s throat. Balto jumped over her and turned around quickly. Before the female had turned around Balto sank his teeth in he back. The female howled full of pain.

The male heard his mate and turned to see. He saw her drop to the snowy ground with blood all over her back, though not as bad as what he did to the kid he was fighting. His female gave him a look that said I’m fine and he turned to the group again.

Shanti shivered as the male came closer. ‘No!’ Kodi yelled weakly. Shanti was afraid seeing her “big brother” hurt. The male was a few meters away from her. Suddenly he howled loudly as Kodi had jumped on top of him and sunk his teeth in his neck while still standing on him. The female and Balto stopped their fight to see what happened. The male collapsed from the pain combined with the weight of Kodi standing on his back. Kodi jumped off of him and growled menacingly.

The female ran away from Balto and stopped by her mate’s side. She nuzzled him and he opened his eyes. ‘Toril?’ she asked worried. He answered with an angry growl and slowly rose from the ground. ‘I’m fine Myla’ He said back. The others were still staring at them. Toril turned his head around and looked at Kodi.

‘Not bad, kid’ He said a bit calmer. Kodi didn’t let him fool him and growled even louder. The male and female, now known as Toril and Myla, jerked their heads up as if they heard something. Seconds later everyone hears voices of humans.

Toril and Myla turn around ready to run away to hide when Kodi jumps in front of him. Balto and the others look shocked thinking, Is he crazy? He has a chance to get out of this fight! Toril looks angry again. The people of Nomearrive on the outskirts of town and see the dogs and two wolves. They gasp and without another second the two wolves jump over Kodi and run away.

The next morning Kodi lay the musher’s house with Shanti close by him. The other sled dogs were wandering around outside waiting for the musher. Kodi’s wounds had seemed pretty bad, but over night most of it had healed already.

The musher was pulling the sled outside and placed it in fornt of the post office. The sled dogs were already standing nearby ready to go deliver the mail. Kodi walked outside and saw them. Shanti was still a sleep inside the house. Kodi walks over to them not looking all to thrilled about delivering post.

‘Kodi!’ Dusty shouts as she sees him walking towards them. She runs over to him and dog-like hugs him. The others walk towards them.

‘Hey you okay?’ Kirby asks. Kodi weakly nods. The others notice he’s not very thrilled today.

‘You know, we have post to deliver. Isn’t that fun’ Dusty tries to cheer him up. Kodi loves his job as post dog. Surprisingly Kodi only looks more depressed at hearing this. The others look kinda worried.

‘Kodi? Don’t you fell well?’ Ralph asks. Kodi looks up at them.

‘Sorry guys. I just don’t feel like delivering post today’ Kodi says. After hearing this his friends look very concerned.

‘But you love your job!’ Kirby says not believing what he’s hearing. Kodi sighes indicating he doesn’t feel like discussing it now.

The musher calls his dogs and reluctantly Kirby, Dusty and Ralph walk to the sled leaving Kodi standing behind. The musher places them in their places and then notices Kodi walking back inside. The musher checks on him. As he enters the house he sees Kodi laying beside Shanti looking rather tired. He decides to let Kodi stay home and carefully closes the door leaving the doggy hatch open. Moments later Kodi hears the sled team rush past the window on their way to White Mountain.

Balto wakes up on his boat. He yawns and gets up. Boris is no where around. He sighes as he remembers last night. Slowly he walks off the boat. Before he took another step Boris crash-landed in front of him startling him badly.

‘Boris!’ Balto yells in surprise. Boris dizzily gets up. He then snaps out of his dizziness as he sees Balto.

‘Balto!’ he nearly yells. Balto looks a bit confused. ‘I think Kodi might be sick!’ Boris says. Balto’s eyes open wide.

‘What!’ Balto shouts in worry. Boris brushes the snow of his feather before answering.

‘He hasn’t gone with the other sled dogs to deliver mail. I thought that was worth some worry, I saw them when I flew not too high over Nome’ Boris said. Before Boris could check on Balto’s expression he was twirled around as Balto rushed passed him. ‘Wolves’ Boris says as he gets out of the hole that was created by his twirl.

Balto stops in front of the house of the musher of Kodi. He enters through the doggy-like hatch and sees Kodi laying with Shanti. Kodi is making soft sleeping noises as is Shanti. Balto smiles and softly goes outside again. He bumps into Boris who followed him.

‘Oh Boris, sorry I ran right passed you’ Balto apologises as he sees the ruffled feathers of Boris. Boris just brushes it off and together they walk away as Balto says Kodi seems fine.
