Ok i'm almost done with the fic "Pic of the litter" and I have chaged the plott around alittle(you'll find you when you read it) But right now I need you to think of the ending here is a teaser:

Those words stung Zeeke. He turned around “Are you sure?”
Malt slowly nodded, He saw a few tears drip from her eyes. For the first time in his life he felt petty for a human.

A race of teams was being held in town. Who ever made first retrieved the medicine from Anchorage. The race was to White Mountain and back to Nome.
Zeeke looked for Kodi and his team. He planned on running along side them and winning. For Malt and for her girl, for all the others who needed it.
The gun sounded and the dogs set off, so did Zeeke. He was out of site but stayed near. It was hard to keep up but it could be worth it in the end.
Since the unusual storm they had the snow has been nothing but ice and slush making it very hard to run. Zeeke ran on a hill along Kodi’s team. He kept hearing noises though. He often looked out of the corner of his eye. Something popped out from behind a bush. Zeeke jumped and fell down the slippery hill. He landed in front of Kodi’s team. Kodi gasped and forced himself to stop causing on of the dogs to bend their leg and break it.
In desperation the musher put the dog in the basket and hooked Zeeke up.

Surprisingly Kodi’s team made first. That’s the advantage of being on a mail team. The dogs were praised while Zeeke ran over to the hospital and looked into the window that Malt’s human pup lay in.
She was lying in be asleep with Malt lying on the floor next to her. Don’t worry; I’ll get you that medicine. Zeeke thought and ran to the boat.

Hours later Byte ran to the boat and over to Zeeke.
“Zeeke! Zeeke get up.” Byte panted
Zeeke’s head shot up. “What?”
“We need to leave now!”
“Now? I thought we were leaving tomorrow.”
“I know but there was a death, we need to go now. Hurry!”
Zeeke jolted up and the two ran over to the team.

***

They set off without hesitation with the musher repeatedly calling out “hike!” Zeeke tried his hardest to stay focused but at the speed they started at and the speed that they’re going made him dizzy.
“Are you ok Zeeke?” Byte called
Zeeke nodded and became more focused. Hang in there kids. Zeeke thought he was especially doing this for Malt and her girl, Jamie.


Chapter 10

“Are we too late?!” The musher asked as her ran into the hospital of White Mountain. Dusty rested her head on Ralph’s shoulder.
“Will my boy be ok?” She asked
Ralph liked her on the cheek as a comforting reply.
The musher and one other person walked out holding the meds. They hitched it onto the sled and they set off. Hours later they reached Nome, Zeeke was....

Ending 1:
About to pass out. He was to tired and out of breath. Just a little more. He thought Do it for the kids! Zeeke dained confadence in himself. He was going to make it! The dogs ran faster and faster with eager and excitment. The people rushed out of their homes. Zeeke smiled he did a great job for a first timer. To run on a team was a dream come treu for him. His heart beated rapidly with energy.
Suddenly there was a pain in his chest. He fell to the ground. The dogs infront of him tumbled.
"Woah!" The musher called out. He walked over to Zeeke and looked at him. He noticed blood spilling out of his jaws, he rested his head on the wolf/dog's chest. The musher pet the hybrids head and closed his eyes.
"He's gone."
He un-hitched Zeeke and lay him in the basket. "You did good." He said
the Musher got the dogs back in their place and with a soft "hike" they slowly troted home.

Ending 2
smiling at the hard work he had done. As they neared Nome he could see the people running out of buildings. They reached town and were praised though Zeeke didnt except it. He walked over to Malt who was standing at the hospital door.
She didnt say anything to him instead she smiled and nuzzled him.
"I'm sorry" she sniffed "I'm so, so sorry." Zeeke felt her tears on his fur. He forgave his sister for being the way she was to him for the past year and a half. He only wanted to hear kind things from her and it wasnt until now that he wasnt the runt of the litter anymore, he was the pick of the litter.

*sniffes* The 1st ending is very nice. For some reason I really like that one. I don't know why.. Maybe because it enveys a lot of emotion.

Yeah i like the first one better also

Thanks I love sad endings but I didnt know weather or not Zeeke should make piece with his sister or he'd die. The two were on an even scale so I let the readers choose. ^^

I'd say the first one! It's sad and it will leave his sister in peices..I like the first better. Good job!
