Balto's
Origin
by BaltoWolfDog
It was a cold winter night in Nome Alaska. The year was 1922, and a young Husky named Diamond was running away from the town. Her master had abused her right from the start and she'd had enough. She ran away to meet her mate, a wolf named Wild Spirit. They met at their favorite spot, a hill with some colored broken bottles on it. Diamond brought her master's lantern and they sat together and watched the beautiful colored lights shining on the cliff. Then it happened. Diamond was ready to have her puppies. Wild Spirit dug a hole for her in the side of the hill so nobody would find her. She curled up in the hole and waited. Then the puppies were born! A bunch of adorable grayish-brown wolf/Huskies. They named the first one Balto, the second one Timber, the third one Jewel, and the fourth one Aurora. When they were two months old, their mother took them out to that hill. She showed them the lights and said "I want you to show your children this trick someday. Tell them to pass it on through the family from generation to generation."
Just then, Wild Spirit ran up to them. "The humans are after us! Run while you can!"
But it was too late. The humans came and shot Diamond. Then they saw the puppies. Wild Spirit growled at them trying to protect the puppies. The humans shot at him but he doged it. They managed to shoot the puppies. They all lay there motionless. Wild Spirit ran away. When the humans left, he came back and cried as he looked at the lifeless bodies of his mate and children. He went back to his pack. Just after he left, a Russian goose landed to see what happened. He thought they were all dead but just then, Balto started breathing. He whimpered and tried to get up. Seeing that the puppy was dying and in need of help, Borris took Balto to an old wreck by the shore. Two months later, Balto was exploring the town. Three puppies led by a black and white Husky came up to Balto.
"Who are you?" Said Balto.
"I'm Steele and these are my friends Nikki, Kaltag, and Star. Who are you and where did you come from?"
Said Steele at first not sounding very threatening. Balto came closer and said "I'm Balto. My mother and brother and sisters were shot because my mother ran off and mated with a wolf."
"You're half wolf?!" Steele yelled "Nikki, Kaltag, Star, GET HIM!!!!"
They all started kicking snow in his face until he ran away.
"Someday I'll show them!" Balto said to himself.
Two years later in 1924, a new family moved in. They had a little girl and a beautiful red and cream Husky. The most beautiful dog Balto had ever seen. He watched as they loaded their stuff off of the sled and into the house. Their dog looked around. She saw Balto hiding and walked closer to meet him. He started backing off and she said "Wait! Don't go! My name is Jenna. Who are you?" She said .
"I'm Balto" He replied "Do you want to..."
He was interrupted by the man calling out to Jenna," Here Jenna! Here girl!" he said.
Jenna turned and walked up to the house. Before she walked in she said "Bye Balto". One year later in 1925, there was a sled race and Balto was rushing out to see it. Well, you know the rest...
