Skye's POV

I had just escaped the hands of the humans who tried to hunt me down. I'm running in a forest from a place I remember. But when? I was looking for my sister, Jenna, who I've been taken away from.

Even though she was born in the city, I was born in the forest near the snowy areas where my father lived. I was eventually brought to the city where me and my sister lived fine until she got adopted by a human couple. They at first, never trusted me, but also felt bad leaving me alone so they let me be around them.

I'm so tired of trying to find home, I honestly don't wanna go back. It gives me more pain than anything, but I love my sister to much to leave without a trace...

I stumbled across the old boat where another wolf-dog by the name of Balto apparently lives. I never actually saw him, but I've heard some messed up stuff they say about him all the time.

I decided to go near and ask for help, maybe I can find Jenna again? The humans injured me badly and I need some medical attention for my muzzle and right eye.

"Hello?" I said quietly walking towards the boat, somewhat scared of the vibe it was giving

"Hel-" I got cut off from a force pushing me and pinning me to the ground.
Out of instinct, I pounced on the force and instead pinned them to the ground, baring my teeth and growling lowly.

"Who are you?! What was that for?" I barked/yelled at the canine who was now under me. He was mostly brown with a lighter underbelly with brown eyes.

"Woah woah woah. I didn't mean to do that, I'm very sorry." He said nervously as I skeptically got off of him to examine him.

"How do you accidentally pin somebody to the ground with so much force out of nowhere?!" I asked in an annoyed tone

"I'm surprised you let go of me... Thanks I guess." The dog spoke to me in a weird way, ignoring my statement.

"You don't seem like a threat. Anyways I was walking around here looking for help, do you know where I can find some?" I calmed down and sat down in front of the peculiar dog

"Help? What do you mean.. by that..." His voice slowly faltered as he took another look at me. My muzzle was bleeding slightly and my eye was scratched up, looking somewhat pale while a few drops of blood hitting the snow beneath our paws.

"Uhm. Sorry I don't know where I can find you help, but I might be able to treat you for a little while." The weird dog said with slight enthusiasm in his voice. Huh, he seems to like me. Strange.
"Well if you want of course." He quickly blurted out

"Well how can I know I can trust you? Yes you don't seem like a threat to me but some dogs.. They just aren't what they seem." I spoke slowly, remembering some hurtful things other dogs and animals have called me.

"Ok then. Uh.. Wait! Stay here and let me get you something!" The strange dog said as he ran into the boat, coming out seconds later with a blue bandanna.

He then slowly approached me and put it around my neck, not tying it but just letting it rest on my back and neck. After a few moments, a smile forced it way onto my lips as I walked towards the taller canine. I've never been given a gift before, so this just felt very special.
