Private roleplay between me and CatluvsZuko for our characters Jade and Kit, will probably be turned into a fanfic.



Jade watched as she left town, never coming back. The thought of not getting to spend more time with her stung him. He fought the tears that were trying to form in his eye. Not knowing what would happen to her in Africa was horrible.

“Good bye Dinah” He said for the last time as he turned around to go back into town.

Days went past like nothing had happened, but this one dog felt like his life had been turned upside down. All he did was run with the mail, eat and sleep. Dogs rarely saw him in town anymore.

What would happen to him?

Year went passed and Jade was getting social again and had met a female dog named Aiyanna. She was a Shetland sheepdog and a very active one, could never stand just lying around and doing nothing. She was really polite to everyone and thought of everyone as equal. She was confident and full of love. They became mates and were deeply in love. They had a puppy together who got the name Lucky Clover. Jade couldn’t believe that he could be this lucky.

Jade was a mail dog in Nome and was the lead dog on the team, because he was well build and also had the stamina from his father. But he didn’t know that he had an enemy that was out to get him.

---------------------------
Jade had finally arrived home after a run to White Mountain to get the mail.
“Great work everyone” He complemented his team who were jumping around still full of energy from the run. Jade noticed few girls looking towards the team, he barely knew them well but he knew that one of them was Kit who he had spoken to few times before. He noticed she was walking towards him and he started to blush thinking she had noticed him looking at them.

“Hi Jade” said Kit, casually, trying to keep her voice friendly.

"Oh Hi there Kit, how are you?" Jade answered thankful for the friendly tone.

“Fin…” She was about to finish but was interrupted by a puppy that came running towards the team.

“DAD! DAD!” Jade turned around but not quickly enough to avoid the attacker who was now lying on top of him laughing.

“DAD! Welcome home!!!! Can you come with me?!? I have to show you something!” Clover spoke so fast it was hard to hear clearly what she said but Jade was already used to it.

“Clover please don’t jump on daddy when he is talking to someone…Now apologies!” Jade said in a warm voice as Clover looked down awkwardly.

“I’m sorry….” She looked up.

“My name is Kit” Kit said and smiled sheepishly at Clover who was now standing right in front of her and looking up.

“Can we be friends?” Clover asked suddenly surprising Kit.

“Of course we can” Kit said not wanting to disappoint her.

“DAD… can you come now!” Clover asked fussing around in circles.

“No honey, I’m talking to Kit go to your mother and ask her to go with you” Jade answered his daughter who wasn’t very pleased with the answer but decided she would do as he said.

“Sorry about that” Jade said as he watched after his daughter running towards her mother’s home.

Jade looked pleased. And took a quick glance in the direction Clover had gone.

"Yeah she is amazing" He said sounding like a proud parent.

"Ut would be fun for Clover if you babysat her some times, she seemed to like you a lot" Jade said with a smile thinking how quickly Clover had asked her to be her friend.

"Her name is Aiyanna, we met about a year ago" He said smiling and then realizing he sounded like he was bragging.

"What about you? have a mate or are you intrested in someone?"

"Hey there Utah!" Jade said with a smile.

"Yeah I guess you are right I should hurry up before she gets mad at me." Jade said faking a sad look.

"I'll see you soon hopefully!" Jade said with a smile and walked in the other direction when Kit and Utah had said their goodbyes. As he was walking he noticed it was getting dark he looked ahead and heard a noise in the distance. Something was coming running in his direction, it was a rather small thing and when it got closer he realized it was Clover.

"DAD!" She called with tears in her eyes trying to say something but the sobbing made it hard for her. Jade had started running towards her when he noticed she was crying.

"Clover, honey whats wrong?" He asked as she ran into his body at full speed. She hid in his fur trying to calm herself down so she could speak.

"Dad! they are hurting mom!" She said in a shaky voice.

"They are so many and they are being mean to her mom told be to run and get you because she needs help! please don't let them hurt mom more!" Clover said and started crying again. Jade could then hear more noise in the distance and his expression changed to horror.

"Clover honey go and find Ruby or Maggie and tell them what happened! I have to go help your mom" Jade was counting the seconds as he spoke but he didn't want to risk the life of his little girl and he knew that Aiyanna would say the same.

"I want to hel...." Clover was about to say but Jade shock his head and told her to be quick. Clover ran off in the opposite direction but Jade started sprinting in the direction all the noise was coming from. Jade slowed down as he got near the alley, it was a popular place for stray dogs. He could hear someone yelling but couldn't hear what was being said clearly so he got closer.

"YOU FOOLS! This isn't the dog I told you to attack!" Jade was now looking into the alley he could see about five dogs talking together and one seemed to be familiar. The leader was a dark brown dog with a black patch on his back.

"But this is the dog the little pup brought with her!" A blond dog said holding his head close to the ground and looking at the dog that had spoken before.

"BUT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KILL HER FATHER!" Jade then realized who it was, Jason Aiyanna ex mate. Jade ran into the alley at a full speed infront of Aiyanna who was lying still in the corner.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?!" Jade growled and didn't take his eyes of Jason.

"THIS IS THE ONE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET!" Jason growled and his comrades came charging towards Jade. He wasn't strong enough to hold them off so they were easily able to hold him down. Utah came into the alley and ran towards them. Jade was able to get himself free when they were distracted by Utah's income. Jason yelled and pointed towards Jade. But Jade was too quick and was able to jump on Jason before he could respond. Utah fought the other four but they got the better of him and pushed him to the ground and held him down. Jason was a strong dog though he didn't have the speed Jade did, so he was able to push him off and sat on top of him and dug his claws into his skin.

"See her lying there! SHE is dead! It's not like a big loss, she couldn't even give me puppies!" Jason said in a mocking voice. Jade struggled hard but couldn't break free. He noticed that Utah had been knocked to the ground and couldn't break free either.

"Don't worry these fate were for you so you will be with her soon in hell!" Jason said and a laughter escaped his mouth.

"Who is there?!" A voice called coming closer to the alley many footsteps could be heard walking in the snow.

"***** it!" Jason said not wanting to be caught so he made a run for it without saying anything to his comrades, who all scrambled after him as they realized what was happening. As soon as Jade was free he ran to Ayianna.

"Ayianna, honey please wake up!" He said nuzzling her but there was no respond. Few dogs that had called before had arrived in the alley and Utah was explaining what had happened.

"Aiyanna...?" Jade said his ears falling back, he couldn't hear a heartbeat anymore.

Jade lay there over Aiyanna's body all night not wanting to leave her, not wanting to let her go! Jade had asked Utah to bring Clover to her aunt Ruby, he would tell her in the morning.

"Lets hope so!" Ruby said in a low voice and hugged Clover. Everyone knew that she hadn't made it but they couldn't say it to a innocent child.

"Thanks for your help" Ruby said to Utah and Kit as she glanced over her shoulder at Jade who lay now beside Aiyanna's body.

"Clover honey you will spend the night with me!" Ruby said trying to fake a cheerful voice. Clover gave a small hopeful smile which broke everyones heart who saw it. If only she knew...

----------

Days passed and Jade had turned into a ghostlike person. Clover was sent between Ruby and Maggie but one day neither could babysit her so they asked Kit to take care of her for one day.

"Hi Kit!" Clover said happy but it was easy to see that the sadness wasn't far off.

"Hi Clover want to play with me today?" Kit said trying to distract her like the rest did.

"Can we see dad today?" Clover asked hopefully and Kit couldn't find it in herself to deny it since the poor thing hadn't seen her father for the past days.
They found him at home lying on a blanket in the corner of the room.

"Dad..?" Clover said and her voice was about to break as she ran towards him. But jade didn't answer her he just turned his head around. Clover ran back to Kit!

"Kit dad is sick!" Clover said and started to cry. She thought that was the reason he couldn't see her.

After playing for a long time on the shore digging for shells and running away from the waves that hit the shore, Clover suddenly stopped and looked up at Kit.

"When is mom coming back? I miss her!" Clover said and her ears fell back as she let out a small whimper.

"Me and mom often went to the beach to play, I wish she had gone with us today but Ruby said I couldn't see her anymore, why is that?" Clover really hoped for answers from Kit. She was of course her new best friend forever. Both Ruby and Maggie had told her that her mother had to leave and her father would tell her soon why but he was sick and Clover wanted her mom to take care of him.

"I...I don't understand" Clover stuttered and tried to put the things together in her head. She then looked up at Kit and Utah with tears in her eyes.

"Is she mad at me? doesn't she want to see me anymore?" Clover sobbed and looked around confused.

"I didn't know that they were going to hurt her, They asked me to bring dad with me but he was busy talking to you so he told me to ask mom. They promised they would show me the beautiful stones they had found if I brought dad but when I came with mom they were angry and started to hurt her. I didn't know they were going to do that!" Clover had started to speak in hurry it was all so confusing for her that she started to cry even more.

Clover followed Utah to to beach to play in the waves. She had already started before Utah arrived after her. She looked up and noticed that Kit wasn't there anymore but thought there was a reason behind this so she kept playing.

-------------------

Jade lay still at home his thoughts kept reflecting the things that had happened.

"She can't be gone!" he whispered but deep down he knew he wasn't right. He had been to late, he hadn't been able to save her! But Clover had been saved though.

"Clover?" Jade looked up in a shook his mind had been blurred for the past few days. He had no idea where Clover was, how she was feeling. The truth hit him in the face. He hadn't been there for her when she needed him. He quickly stood up and ran to the door but as he was about to exit Kit stuck her head through the doggy door.

"Kit?" Jade asked in a surprise
