A week passed after the party. Tyler never came back to town since that day. Emerald was starting to worry. Rudy ,on the other hand, was filled with joy after Tyler left.

 Maxwell had taken a job to the store next to his so he could get extra cash. Now most of the time the house was empty so Emerald and Ruby would just stay and sleep or go out to see their friends. Ruby said to her that she

will feel better with her REAL friends.  One day While the two sisters went to see their friends something caught Emerald's eye. It was Rex ,an  friend of Tyler before Rex became a sled dog. He was a strong husky like Mac but much bigger with  brownish gray fur.

 Emerald ran to Rex as fast as she could. Ruby just walked to the werehouse were all the dogs hang out now.  Rex was walking toward his team untill he saw Emerald and saw distress in her eyes. "..Rex.." she said out of air. Rex's ears pointed down. "What's wrong?" Rex said in a concered voice.  "Tyler's gone. I haven't seen him in a week! Do you know were he is?! She said in a scared frantic voice."No. I' m sorry but I don't know were he is."

 Emerald was about to cry. "Where is he? What have I done?"she thought. Her eyes started to get glossy. "DDon't worry he'll be fine. he is a wolf. its his nature to survive". Rex reassured her. She smiled but she couldn't help it. 

In his den Tyler was depress for his humiliation. "I was soo close to kissing her. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!!!"He said with a sigh. "She thinks I'm weird now. I just wanted to show how much I cared more than a friend. I LOVE her!!

 "That is ssoo sweet." said a dark voice outside. Tyler's ears perked up. " Who's there?!  A female dog came out of the trees."Ruby!!" Tyler shouted. She was the last dog he expect or wanted to see. "What do you want ?" he said angerliy. "I wanted to make sure your visits were gone permanetly." she said with a smile. "What about Emerald. Is she-""She's already moved on. With Jack." "WHAT?!!?!!" Tyler screamed. "Yes. They are the cutest couple in Nome."

 "You're lying. I know you are!!! She hates Jack she told me!!!!" said Tyler. "Come and see for your self if you dare."Ruby said with a wicked smile and vanished to the bushes. 

The next two weeks Emerald was more worried than ever. Now everytime maxwell leaves the house, she goes out and looks for Tyler.Ruby couldn't care less for Tyler. All day and night she looked for him. Sometimes Maxwell had to go looking for her when she took too long searching.

 One day while she was searching near the forest , Jack appeared. He walked by her and said, " Hi Emerald!". "oh hi" she said and continued searching. "I know it was a shocking thing when I asked you out before so I forgive you for rejecting me." She didn't even look up. "Hey I'm talking to you!!" He said in a anger tone. She still didn't look up.

 "Still looking for that wid animal, huh?"he said "He is NOT an ANIMAL !!!" shouted Emerald. "Why bother looking for him? he's no good for you or anyone."  "Because I lo-  she paused "he's my friend." Jack looked at her and frowned." You love him don't you?!"he shouted. She looked down.  "I guess We're going to have to fix that."  " What do you-He went up and kissed her on the lips.

 Tyler an as fast as he could towards Nome." It can't be true." "she wouldn't" he thought . He ran to through bushes to a horrify sight . Emerald kissing JACK. "NO!" he thought. "Its true". Emerald backed away from Jack when she saw Tyler. " Tyler!!! This isn't what it looks li- but Tyler turned around and ran.

 "Oh no you don't. Not again!" she said And ran after him leaving Jack all alone and rejected again. 

Tyler felt anger but mostly betrayed. He was fast but Emerald was right behind him "Tyler stop!!"she said but he ran faster. She started to go faster but her paw bumped to a rock. she fell and bumped her head on a tree trunk.

Tyler heard a yelp behind him. "Emerald!" he shouted. Her paw was twisted and blood dripping from her head. He stopped and ran back to her. "I can't go back to town now". He said whlie he picked her up and put her on his back. "I'll go in the morning." he said. He went to his den, put Emerald down and started licking her wounds.

 It was dark outside but he went and caught a bunny for her to eat. He saw her chest rose and fell as she slept.hecurldhis body around her so she wouldn' t get cold.The he started to lick her wounds again then slowly he went slowly to her neck. Emerald moaned a bit and Tyler realized what he was doing and shook his head. he laid beside her."Even though we're not together I still have to protect her" He said as he closed his eyes.   

 In the morning Tyler rosed up early to get Emerald back to Nome. He grab her by the mouth and slowly put her on his back. He strated to pace himself then ran. He was slow enough for Emerald to stay on and fast to get to town.

 He finally reach Nome it was still early so  no humans were up. As he walked toward the vet , Jack with a huge group of dogs came out of nowhere and surrounded him. "I told you. He doggnapped her and now he injured her!" said Jack. "WHAT?!?!!" shouted Tyler. The dogs started to growl." Since you injured someone you are banished from Nome!" said Cod.
