Chapter Two

Kodi looks at Dark as they walk into the open. "Dark, who is this stranger you bring into our midst? Why did you bring him here?" Kodi looks at the large wolf that spoke to her. She replies without fear, and tells them everything. "So you are saying that he is lost and needs to get back to his house. Well, we can help, but he must do something for us first." She turns to Kodi and speaks. "You, what is your name?" Kodi looks at Dark, but she doesn't look back. "Uh, I'm called Kodiak. But everyone calls me Kodi." The large wolf smiles. "There is no need to be scared. We won't hurt you. You need to prove yourself worthy of our help. To do so, you must hunt with us once, and learn the ways of the wolf. Dark tells us that you also have a connection with Aniu. What does she mean to you?" Kodi looks at them and knows that this is the only way to get home safely. "She is my grandmother. My father is Balto." After he said that, he saw almost all of the wolves look at the ground, and the alpha walked up to him. "You are our guest. We will take care of you and bring you home, but first you will have to learn the ways of the wolf, Aniu or not." He saw Aniu sitting in the corner, and nodding. "I will learn the ways of the wolf. I will hunt with you and sleep with you. I will run with you and sing with you." The alpha smiles. You will like it with us, and you will be good at it." Dark walks up to him. "I will show you where you can sleep." Kodi follows her to a small open place, shielded from the wind and rain. "This is where you will be sleeping until you leave."

2 days have passed since he has met Dark and the rest of the pack, and he has hunted with them once. He is now sitting next to Dangora, the eldest wolf in the pack. "Your hunting is bad. You need to work on your sneaking. But you have the movements of a wolf. You might make a good member. But I feel you really want to go back. You miss your family and friends. When you go, consider visiting every now and then." Kodi looks up at the wise wolf. He respects her. She smiles and walks up to the alpha. They talk for a while, and Kodi decides to go to his sleeping area. "Hey, you're not going to sleep already, right? Alpha wants to see you." He looks to see Dark standing over him. He groans and stands up, following her. "He wants to talk to you about the last hunt."

Kodi wakes up with a shock. He sees Aniu standing by the bushes, so he gets up and walks over to her. "Kodi, you must leave now. Get as much distance between you and them. I would suggest following the coastline. It will bring you home." He looks at her as she disappears. Thinking about what she just told him, he walks over to the coast. He checks if everyone is asleep, and starts running along the coast. His training is helping him stay quiet. Running over the sand is harder than running over snow, but with every step he takes he notices it gets easier. He has been with the wolves for 5 weeks now. They trained him and treated him well, so he doesn't know why he has to leave all of a sudden. He snaps out of his thoughts by a loud scream, They've noticed he left. He quickens his pace, and hears how Alpha deals out orders. He keeps running, until he exits the forest and scratches himself on a branch. He hears footsteps behind him, and looks. "Kodi, is that you?" a familiar voice. It's Ralph. "Kodi, it really is you. I can't believe it. HEY GUYS, HE'S OVER HERE." Kodi sees how his father comes running towards him, before blacking out from exhaustion.

Ok guys, sorry is this one is a little shorter. This is the end of this story, I don't have a lot to say about the wolves it basically means he got trained nothing interesting.
