Chapter one
If you were suprised by the things your "freinds" had to say, would you still be freinds with them?
I stuided her eyes carefully as she took her first look into the room. What I was expeting to be a look of disgust and pure hatered, came out to a glimmering smileing sam.
" Oh, Jenna! It's so great your folks invited me to stay over here, while my family goes on there vaction. There such vacation hogs! It seem's like all they want to do is spend a cheerfull summer away in god know's where, and not even careing about me!" She paused to huff a breath, and carrired on. " Anyway's, I know your such a good sister, I can always count on you." She gave me a smile, her cheecks showing the tinyist but of blush. I gave her back a awkward smile, the right half of my pull off smile slumping to the left side.
Sam flatened her ears and gave me a confused look. " What is is Jenna? Is something wrong? Was it something I said?" She bit her lower lip, worry and something else I could'nt read in her eyes. " Oh no no! I replied. Dissmassing my cocky smile and replaceing a full one. " Are you sure? Beacuse if I said something that hurt your lil' feelings, you should let me know...now-" I cut her off. " I'm fine, nothing you said ripped at my pride, know let's go to your room and get you selted." She obeyed, and me leading the ways, decended to her room.
" Woah..." She said takeing a step back. We reached her room, and her eye's streached wide. I leaped onto a guestbed lineing the wall, and locked my gaze with her's. " So, do you want your self to sleep on the guestbed or on the-" "Guest bed will be fine she murmed, not letting me finish. " Now, where are your-" "Things?" She replied. I nodded. "Right behind me, she moved out of my way and I leaped off the bed and clamped her belongings in my mouth.
" I`ll lay them on the bed, and I`ll leave you to put the thing's away, if..that's OK with you?" She nodded and said. " Hey, umm, after Im done, would you mind if I could get a tour of this place?" "Yeah sure, I could even tour you around myself." I said as I skidded out of the room, sne smiled and I dragged myself out the front door.

I traced my footing to the boiler room, I hurried in and sat down behind Dixey. " But, as I was saying, she will never find true loe if she acts like that..." " Dixie dont, she is-" I scooted closer, dixie hadn't seen me yet, but Sylive squinted at me behind her shimmering brown coat.
"Dixie! Jen-ay in the boil-ay!" Dixie whipped around, her little body sqruching togather, she faced me with oval shape eyes. " Jenna, what did you hear?" " Nothing acutly...What were you two talking about?" Dixie exchanged a worried gaze with Sylive. "Should we tell her?" Dixie whipered. " I don't know..." Sylive said, eyeing me with a "you know it all' look.
" I`ll take anything, shoot." I said, imapacting my sentance by sitting down. Sylive sighed and looked the other way, laveing Dixie to tell the story.
" Ok, so we allready know about your sister being here....!" Dixie said, shiffting her delicate feet.
"Oh". I said. What a suprize, 2 gossip girls know of a new arrival.
" Well, we've put our head's togather and we gathered some deatils about your sister. Well, first off, in her home town she was known to flip off guy's, by dateing them first and well,...kills....them..."
" WHAT!?" I yelled. Apaled by what dixie chose to say to me.
" That's not all," Dixie said, dipping her head towrds me.
" One of her freinds tried on one of her "precious" studded coller's, and sam got on her about it and stole everything that her freind had, maeking her freinds life misseribale, and also sam did this recently!- ( She made her freind get framed for getting in trouble by knocking down all the items in her house worth meaning and digging her owner's ring in the garden's dirt."
" Oh yeah right. Way to go Dixie! You and sylive are allways the one's to gossip and hurt people's feelings! You guys are supposed to be my freinds? Not anymore! I know you guys are lieing, you won't see much of me with you anymore!"
"Jen, it's not what you think!" Sylive shouted paceing over to me.
" Oh yes, I know what I`m thinking!!!" I said, my face becomeing red.
I whipped around and rushed out the door, storming down the Nome alwways, tears rolling down my face. It blurred my vison, and I almost ran into countless animal and objects.
When I finnaly reached my house my checks were stained with tears.
I escoretd my self to Sam's room, I must of starlted her beacuse she jumped up and etched out a little cry from her mouth.
" I was just talking to Dixie and Sylive, and they said som things about you....Can I talk to you about them?"
"Oh, yeah sure." She leaped off the bed and sat next to me on the floor.
" Well, they said some mean things about you..." I confessed.
"Really what?" Sam said, her brown eyes shimmering from the light.
" Well, for one, when I came in there they looked disgusted. I don't know why, but when they both finnaly saw me, Dixi blurted out, what she called "the truth". She said, that you were known to flip off guys; then...kill them." I could'nt see sam's reaction beacuse my head was bent down, but I could sense she was mad.
" Then," I gulped not wanting to go on, but wanting to blurt the whole thing out to my sister. " One of your freinds tried on one of your collers, you got really mad so you snuck into your freinds house, knocked down anything valuble, then stealing her owner's ring, and burying it in the garden." I squeezed my eyes tight. Not knowing if a hurricane of meaanness would come my way, or a fistfull of shock. When I finnaly opened my eyes she wan't stareing at me, the other way, towrds the window acutly. But when I heard her talk, it was chocked with sadness.
" Jenna, umm, I think you should leave the room now." She said in almost a harsh voice.
I dipped my head. " It's understand....I`ll take you on a tore tommorow then..." I said, backing out of the room. When I changed my direction to go the other way, the door slammed so loud, it made me whimper.
Oh lord, what have I done?
As I turned the corner, in the direction of sam's room, I could hear faint crying...
Chapter two
If a new arrival shows up, would it hurt to interduce, or would eyes settle on someone else?
The rough pant's of my breath grew louder as I skidded corrners and allyways. My bandana flapped in the breeze, then, flipping into my face, covering my eyes from seeing.
Trying to get it off, my paws reached up, and I tumbeld down, landing directily "SMACK" into someone. " Ecxuse, excuse, m-me-" I stuttred as I shrugged off the biter snow hovering on my back like a blanket. " It's no problem at all." A handsome voice replied. I looked up to find a handsome tan husky smileing down on me. " In, fact," He said, helping to pull me up. " I saw you fall down that hill...If I were you I would probally have ended up right in this postion now!" I laughed and realizeing I was blushing, hid it quickly. " Oh, pardon me. Ecxuse me for not interducing myself. 'Name's Nick, I live in that house over there-" He guestred with his tail to a small cottage on the brink of a deserted snowy road.
"Oh," I said. I coul'dnt take my eye's off the husky. His head was turned, and I said: " Well, my name is Jenna. I guess I live a few blocks away from here..." I guestered with my tail too, my sassyness pulling off to be shyness afterwords. I looked down, blush smirking at my face once more. Nick spoke, bending his head to my leval. " Would you mind if I show my owner's place? My owner's love dogs, in fact he has a sled team, I am just a rookie this year, but , he call's me the best of the best." I smiled and I said back. " I would be delighed to."
I was suprised by how fast he was. I had to to take 2 breaks, and hehad to wait up for me, about a thousand times. When we finnaly reached his home it felt like I had ran on a huge race track. "Woo-wee." I breathed. He laughed softly, climbing up the porch and holding the screen door open for me. " Thanks," I said. He nodded and I fell back to wait for him. " Where's your owner? I asked.
"Hmmm..." His ears flared up as a low whistle came from another room. " Thats him." He said, egarly leading the way. As we searched the house for his owner, I took a moment to look at his house. Though it was small, it had 4 rooms. Plus, 2 bathrooms. Impressed, I promised myself I would explore later.
We aproched a tall man with a grey sweatshirt and sewatpants. He had brown hair, and a cheerry smile. He leaned down to pet me, and I wagged my tail. " Now, nick, who's this?" He asked. Haveing his cherfull smile into a sly one. " He finnaly got him self a gal'." He said to me. I barked out a laugh.
Nick shrugged. Apartnly emmbarrsed. He shifted away to another room. The man bent down and gently fliped a corner of my bandana, "Jenna." He read. Smileing again. " That's a beautifull name...Now, miss Jenna, would you like to go look for nick?" I nodded, allready turning in the oher dirstcion Nick went in my egarness. " It's OK with me, Ready, set, GO!" At the word go I charged in the direction my nose pointed. As my nose took scent's in, it was like a hurricane. The scents came from all directions.
"Nick?" I called. I stepped into a hallway, the hallway was dark with no lights. "Nick?!" I repeated, more scared now. " Need my asistance?" He said. Stepping out from a patch of darkness and comeing towrds the light towrds me, where the window shaved light in.
" Yes, I do need your help." I smiled. Stepping closer. "Would you mind showing me around your house...Also- can you please turn on the lights, I-" I squeaked. "I'm terrified of the dark..." He nodded. He jumped up, finding a switch in no time, and flicking it on. " Nick-er-ony at your service!" He said jumping back down. The lights flickered, and came on.
" Nick-er-ony?" I asked, giggleing to myself. He cocked his head to me as we decended our way into the deepest part of the house. " Yes?" He said. " I thought you said that your owner had a dogteam...Where are the dogs?"
" Well, the dogs, are from diffrent houses and parts of this area in Nome. They come here to get ready for races and train further. I talk with them, but not as much as I should. There really rude to everyone else sometimes...I just guess my owner was desprete." I nodded. Earse the idea of meeting new dogs, out of my head.
" Now, I am about to show you my room. So, do you think your ready?" "Yep." " Little missy, do you think your ready?"- He said in a darlin' country voice way out of toon. " Yeppers!" I replied. " DO YOU THINK U R RED-AY?" I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Sure!" I added with my way over cheesy country style voice. " I THINK YOU ARE READY LIL' GIRL, SO LET GET ON WITH IT!" He said pushing the door open.
" Good gravey." I breathed as my eyes met with his room. "Isint it great?" I nodded. My eyes were glued to the millans of trophies lineing his walls and in a small corrner of his room.
" You like?" He asked, padding up to one of his star trophies. " In the inside I`m speechless..." I murmered under my breath. He chuckled and waved me over to his trophy.
"This beauty I won for first place. It was a two dog race, just me and a gruff dog about twice the size as me, he was strong, fast...But not as fast as I was." He paused to smile and wink at me. " He kept pushing me to the side, trying to knock me off. But I reagined and I got infront of him. As he slowed I sped up, probally thinking me as a toy, he snapped at me, I was just inches away from the finish live, and he was smack dab in back of me...He almost got in 1st place, by 3 secnds mabye...But a news reporter said that I won, so I got my trophie!" I barked happiily for him. And after that he led my around his house, telling tales of it, and even suprie me about how old it was: 123 years!
When we stoped the moon was in full glow. " Geez, I have to go home. Rosie will be worried about me." I said to him. " How bout I take you home?" He offered. " That would be fine." I said, pushing up against him. "Brrrrr...." I intimadated. He smiled and said. " I dont want you a popsicle, so lets hury!"
I giggled and lead the way, my teeth chatting so hard, it made my whole body quake.
The porch light was dimming as I steped onto the hard wooden porch. "Thanks." I said. " For what?" He pondered. " For everything." I nuzzled him and then licked him on the nose. " I`ll see you tommorw!-I promise." He nodded, dazed by the love I gave him. He smiled and jumped off the porch as I headed inside.
" Look hows back?!" Sam said. Clearly dissaponted. She layed on the couch, watching rosie fiddle with her board game. " Sorry Sam. It just that..." " Just that what?" She said her ears turning towrds me. " I met this husky today in town, he showed me his house, his owner his trophies, EVERYTHING! He's perfect!" " Good for you." Sam said, faceing her back towrds me. " Geez Sam, I WILL take you for that tour tommorow. I`m really tired and all I need is some rest." Sam nodded and contuied to watch over rosie.
I shook my fur, letting the snow soak to the floor, and skidded to my room, my claws clicking on the wood. I climbed into my doggie bed, and let my eyes flutter to sleep.
Chapter- Three
If another set of eyes set on your loved one, would those eyes claim it? Or treat 'em like dirt?
" Jenna! Jenna! Wake up! Wake up! You wont belive what's happening!" Sam's shrill voice woke me from my groggy dream. "What, did you break a nail?" I teased. She huffed. "No. Jen, look-It's snowing!" "Yeah were in Nome, it does that," I said, trying to go back to sleep. " Come 'on I wanna go in it!" "It's cold..." I warned. She sighed. " Well, ecxuse me for trying to have fun..." She said in a snobby tone. " Well, maybye.." I said. Her ears perked. " Maybye means a yes, get up!" " Maybye does not mean a yes," I corrected. " In my world it does! Now get the heck up!"
" God kill me, " I said as I got up to face sam. " Come on, I said heading down the hallway and out the screen door.
A gust of air shoved me back. But sam didnt seem to notice the cold, and instead she plopped on the snow spreading herself out and bending her limbs. " You know, Sam your a dog, you can't make a Snow Angel, your just a dog." "Hmmm..." She said, standing up. " It's more, like a Dog Angel." "Mhhmmm..." I said, survrying her so called "dog angel". It looked like a clump of snow that someone wanted to make a fort with, but got knocked over and shredded. " HAHA!" I bluttered out. " Bah humbug" She said, steping away from the snow and on the porch. " Ready for are stroll?" I asked. " Yeppers!" She said allready bounceing onto her feet.
" This is the boiler room." I said shuffleing my paws twords it. " Can we go inside?" Sam asked. "Nope." I said, thinking about Dixie and Sylive. It was to late Sam flew in there, slamming the door shut right in my face.
When I finnaly got in there, noone was there. I looked arounf the bend, and Sam was no were to be seen. I sighedand went out of the boiler room. Thats what YOU get Jenna, frletting my know it all get infront of you...I thought to myself.
I truged back home. Not careing if Sam was wondering where the heck I was at, if she got lost, I wouldnt know, Would not care.
Just as I went up the slope towrds home, I saw 2 familer shapes down the hill, talking. I squinted my eyes. I saw the familer tan husky I adored, Nick, and?> ....Samantha.
I pulled my eye brows togather. I watched as Sam gently licked Nick on the ear. I growled loudly. I sprang down the hill, and sprang onto Sam. She yelped, and barked under my hold. " Jenna, what the Hell are you doin'?" Nick said, rushing over. " She was just talking to me, that's all!" 'Yeah right, I saw her lick you!" Sam curled up her lip. " So? What does it matter? I licked him? So what? You licked him last night!" "How do you know that?!" I asked her.
"He told me." She said, shrugging her shoulders to Nick under me.
" Yeah I told her...But I gave you a tore of my house!" He said, stepping towrds me. " That's not fair!" Sam wailed. She pushed me out of the way and got to Nick. " Mind showing me?" She asked. " I will, not right now," Nick said to her.
" Ok.." Sam said. She slyly smiled at me. I bared my teeh, ready to spring on her, but Nick yelled. " Stop! I have no idea what has gotten into you Jenna, but I dont like it...Maybye were not meant to be togather." I gasped and said. " We are, Nick! Bealive that!" " I WON'T!" He said in a voice so loud it scared me, I flung back, afraid. " Nick's gonna finish my tore." Sam winked. " Why?" I said in a almost pleading voice. " Beacuse he offered," She said, moveing towrds him and licking his head. He licked her back, and she nuzzled him.
" Go away Jenna," Nick said. Tears shimmered in my eyes. " No". I said, takeing a pawstep closer. " I said go away!" He said, angryer. "No! I love you Nick, and I don't-AHHHH!" He sprang at me, toppleing me to the ground. I realized for once in my life the word pain. My paw felt broken, and my tummy was bleeding. " Ouch..." I closed my eyes. When I opened them rough words crept in my ear. " I dont love you. I love Sam. If you dont leav I WILL KILL YOU." I shrank back my hearrt turning to stone. " Go," He said. I shook my head, wich was dumb of me beacuse I realized my head ached also. " Fine," He said. " Me and her are going." Nick said, turning around with a greatfull Samantha prancing at his side. I tried to follow them but pain slowed my down and I stoped. I hung my head, whispering. " The pain's to much."
Chapter four
Pain come twice in your life?
I dont know how long I layed there. It felt like yeard, but probally only a few hours. The moon was glowing and the stars were out.
To me, my life was ruined. And I could never go back to it.
