Hello everyone. I just wanted to say that i've gone through this story, updated all the old chapters so they don't have so many gramatical errors or breaks in the flow of writing. I've also added another chapter which you can go to with the link below.

Here is a small excerpt if you don't have time to read the whole chapter. Hope you enjoy, and please comment.





"Jenna, please try and calm down." Balto pleaded from the back of Jenna's shed where he lay unobtrusively on a beat-up old mattress. Slowly Balto's eye's drifted from the left to the right across the shed, watching Jenna gradually pace across the room.

Outside there came an indistinct sound from somewhere in the distance and Jenna flashed to the door and peeked through the crack she had left in it. Realizing nothing was out there; she turned and resumed her manic pacing.

"I am calm." Jenna protested as she looked over at Balto.

Balto looked back at her with an inquisitive tilt to his ears.

Jenna ignored her mates look with a shake of her head and continued her quiet, meditative, walking. She walked from one side of the shed to the other; her head hung low and her eyes hollow with thought. When she reached the far side of the room she looked up at the wall, as if she had never seen it before, and turning on her heels, she resumed walking.

Suddenly she turned her eyes on Balto. "But you should be the one up here pacing. I expect you to do most of the talking you know?"

"I know." Balto replied. "I have what I need to say right up here." Balto raised his right paw and touched his head just below his right ear. "I just don't see what you're so worked up about? This is going to go fine. We tell him that the Steel from the story he heard when he was a pup, was the Steel we saw in town today." Balto paused and watched his words work on Jenna. But it didn't seem to have any effect. "Then we tell Kodi not to talk to Steel or any of Steel's friends again. It's as simple as that" Balto finished.

"I hope he'll listen." Jenna said in a hushed tone. She closed her eyes and truly wished Kodi would listen and do what they would say.

Here's a link to the next chapter in the story which i just put up. Hope you enjoy.

Hello everyone. Just finished another chapter. Yes it took me a long time. Anyways, here's an excerpt, followed by the link to the new chapter. Enjoy.

Kodi's eyes stared fiercely out on the world, but nobody was home behind them. In front of him Jenna and Balto stood side by side, Balto slightly behind and to the left. Jenna looked to be going on and on about how unintelligent Kodi was for doing such a stupid thing. Balto sporadically shot in what appeared to be a supportive remark, but for the most part he just scowled and shook his head in dissatisfaction. What ever they were saying, Kodi didn't catch a word of it as he bowed his head and gave quick agreeing statement under his breath, "Yes mum; I got it; Understood."

It wasn't that Kodi didn't pay attention to some extent. He understood what they were saying on a relative level. But facing them with his new persona in this instant seemed as far fetched as running a team of badgers to the moon and back. He had just beaten his own funeral, which made him feel ecstatic in a certain way. Finally, after what seemed an eon of continuous monologue, the one sided battle began to wind down.

"-We'll talk with you more about this when you get back from the mail run, if you even go that is. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Simpson throws you off the team forever after what you did. Kodi you bit him! You attacked your master! You're lucky you're still standing. Not many dogs are standing where you are." Jenna paused to catch her breath. She looked indirectly at Balto, wanting him to say a little.

"I just don't know what to say Kodi. I don't know what's gotten into you these last few weeks? I mean, I feel as if I hardly know you." Balto said without much exertion, as if the words were too tender to utter unless he did it lightly. His face said he didn't really expect an answer in return.

This was good, since Kodi didn't really have an answer he wished to voice. He didn't want to tell his parents, or the team, about Steel and what he had taught to him this morning. Kodi also didn't wish to tell them what he knew about Kirby and his conniving ways.
