Read Fanfic : Where The Heart Takes You

seems fine.

Kodi and Shanti woke up and decided to go outside. They walked to the far end of Nome to play on the white plain. (other side of Nome’s outskirt then were the wolves were). They both didn’t feel like being in the town.

Shanti squeaked as she happily ran across the white plain forgetting all her troubles. Kodi just watched her for a minute until she squeaked him to join her. Kodi ran up to her and the two began throwing snow around from the jumping causing both to turn white. Shanty kept squeaking with joy a sound Kodi always liked hearing. They raced a few laps and Shanti jumped Kodi a few more times. Eventually they both lay down on the cold snow catching their breaths.

Kodi’s head jerked up as he heard footsteps, heavy footsteps. Shanti looked confused until she too heard it. She cowered a bit and Kodi reassured her. They stood up Kodi standing in front of Shanti. Then the man appeared who destroyed the window to let Shanti run of. Shanti shivered as she saw him. Kodi immediately took a defensive position realising this was the man who first began saying Shanti should leave.

The man grinned as he saw Shanti and Kodi. This time he would certainly scare Shanti out of town even though that dog was protecting her. The man closed the distance to about a few meters. Kodi growled dangerously as the man stood towering above them threateningly. Shanti stepped a bit back and Kodi was glad for it. He didn’t want her to get hurt. Then the man revealed a bronze pole. Kodi felt an unnerving feeling at the back of his throat, but stayed put. He’d risk everything to protect Shanti.

Balto and Boris walked through Nomewhen suddenly Stella rushed past them flying low. She abruptly stopped as she potted Boris and Balto.

‘Boris! Balto! Good to see you. There is a problem!’ Stella nearly yelled at them. Both looked confused and worried.

‘What is it?’ Balto and Boris asked simultaneously. Stella panted a bit.

‘I already informed Jenna. Kodi is in trouble at the other end of Nome. A bad man walked towards him and Shanti’ Stella said in one breath. Balto shot passed her while Boris grabbed her wing and pulled her with him after balto.

Jenna was running to the outskirt of Nome. Suddenly she heard a voice behind her. It was Balto followed by Boris and Stella. She waited for them to catch up and together they ran towards where Kodi was. When they arrived they did not look happy at the sight in front of them.

Kodi stayed put as the man pulled the bronze pole back. Kodi had made up his mind. He would fight to protect someone important. The man swiftly brought the pole forward, but before it could hit its target Kodi closed his mouth around it holding it in place.

Balto, Jenna, Boris and Stella gasped as they saw Kodi grabbing the pole. Inside they felt relieve that Kodi didn’t get hurt.

Kodi barely registered his parents being there as he was too busy. The man started pulling at the pole scolding loudly. Kodi felt the sudden pressure against his teeth and released the pole. The man furiously brought it back again and got ready to hit Kodi again. Shanti cowered. This time however Kodi was distracted for he sense something else around there. The pole hit him at the side and Kodi fell down flat on the ground.

Shanti shivered and squeaked in fear. Jenna, Boris and Stella gasped from shock, but Balto growled startling the others.

Kodi felt a serious head ache, but got up nevertheless. Shanti was cowering backwards and the man was closing in on her. Kodi though he was in pain jumped up and landed between Shanti and the man just as the man lashed out with the pole. Kodi got hit on the head and a little blood poured down his face. He felt down and gasped for air as his vision got blurry. Shanti howled for the first time, though it was a howl of fear.

The man gets ready to lash out again when a sudden growl sounds close by. The man turns around just as Balto grabs the pole in his mouth and jumps past the mans till holding it and pulls him on the ground.

Kodi managed to keep his vision from moving around and saw though it was blurry his dad growling angry at the man who was on the ground. Balto growls threateningly at the man’s face like he never growled before. The man cowered a bit before he draws a knife from his pocket and lashes out at Balto.

‘WATCH OUT!’ Jenna, Stella, Boris and Kodi yell at the top of their lungs.

Balto knows he can’t dodge it and looks in shock as it comes closer. It is just inches away from Balto’s chest when a sudden harsh force collides with balto pushing him out of harms way. The man misses and cuts through air.

Balto opens his eyes and sees Toril, the male wolf, slowly getting up. Balto himself gets up looking rather shocked. The man stands up as well and turns around. Kodi got to his feet as well. The man sees Balto, Toril, Myla and Kodi standing in front of him all four growling. The man looks actually scared now and runs off.

Shanti squeaks softly and Kodi immediately runs to her and nuzzles her gently. The two wolves look happy at this. Jenna nuzzles Balto having been so afraid.

‘So who are you guys exactly and what are you doing here?’ Stella asks since she hasn’t seen these two wolves yet before.

Toril looked at them and then at Myla before speaking.

‘I’m Toril and this is my mate Myla. We are alpha’s in our pack and the parents of her’ He says as he looks at Shanti when saying –her- . All of them gasp or just look shocked.

Shanti looks them both straight in the eyes noticing something familiar as she softly speaks. ‘My parents?’.

Where The Heart Takes You

Chapter six: Hidden Instincts Revealed

‘My Parents?’ Shanti weakly asks. The two wolves nod and Shanti feels an enormous weight on her heart.

The others understand what this means. She has to make a decision. Myla walks towards Shanti.

‘I know how difficult this is, but we want you to come back with us. We miss you’ Myla says like only a true mother can. Shanti keeps looking down debating everything in her mind.

‘Shanti, you don’t have to decide now. Take your time. We’ll come back later to see if you have made a decision’ Toril says. He and Myla then turn around and leave.

Kodi can’t stop looking at Shanti. Boris and Stella softly fly away while the sled dogs leave quietly as well. Balto and Jenna consider for a moment, but then they too leave. Kodi stays where he is with Shanti across him. Eventually she looks up and meets his eyes. She looks more than troubled and sad. Kodi almost feels the struggle inside her and comfortably nuzzles her. Shanti nuzzles him back and then runs off. Kodi knows she needs time alone and reluctantly leaves for the shed.

The sun was slowly setting as Kodi saw the shed in the distance. He heard voices from his team mates inside. Kodi walked closer trying to ignore his aching head and body from where he was hit. Kodi took a deep breath and walked inside. The instance he walked in the voices became loud to his ears and the headache forced him to close his eyes. The little blood he lost during the fight was already dried.

Dusty suddenly stopped talking causing the others to cease their ramble as well. They followed Dusty’s gaze and saw Kodi standing in the entrance with closed eyes and a painful expression on his face.

‘Kodi?’ Dusty asked worried. Kodi lifted his head and forced his eyes open even though the pain in his head was agonizing.

He saw his friends looking worried and smiled weakly at them as if reassuring them, though it didn’t work.

‘I’m fine, really’ Kodi tried. Suddenly his vision got very blurry and he started rocketing back and forth and sideways. He could barely hear his name be called with much worry before he felt himself fall
