The Way Home

Chapter 1

He was stuck in the arctic snow. He had no idea how he got into this mess. He heard a growling coming from the cave. A wolf - no it can't be! His brother, could he have been eaten?!? Dash was hoping he could stay hidden but the growling came nearer!



Chapter 2

Dash was lonely in his hometown. The only person he knew was his brother Leo. He never got to see his mom and dad because they were working all the time. Him and his brother loved exploring outside the town. Every other arctic fox never went outside the town because they were always at school, but Dash and Leo were home learners.But they never were learning because they were always playing outside the town. One day they were playing where they usually played. They we’re walking and talking about weird stuff about humans. As they walked they heard a rumbling from a mountain nearby they saw an avalanche! They ran for their LIVES! They would be safe in the town. But Dash knew that the avalanche was just too fast. If he and Leo could just make it. The avalanche hit them and everything went black.



Chapter 3

He felt a pull and then cold snow hit his face. He woke up and found himself lying on the snow with more snow all over his face. You saved me, he said thank you. Your welcome Leo said. I think we are lost. Looks like it said Dash our tracks are covered up. No! said Leo we’re lost and we’re never going to find our way home! This is bad! Dash said. It is almost dusk and we are going to have to build a burrow to survive. He had studied arctic survival. You start digging your strongest.and what are you going to do? Leo said. I'm going to search for some food. Oh no! you don’t! you stay here i might get eaten by a wolf or you might be eaten! Fine! Said Dash. I think you're right. Come on and help me dig, said Leo. They finished the burrow and made sure it was hidden and not able to collapse on them while they were sleeping. And when they were ready they went to find some food. On their way they found a rabbit. two in fact. Leo was good at hunting so he got them in one swift movement.

They went back to their burrow. It was hard to find at first but eventually they found it. They went in. and had a nice dinner. The wolves were out now so they hoped their burrow was hidden enough. And they found themselves asleep. It had been a tiring day.



Chapter 4

Dash woke up to the sound of thumping overhead. His brother was still asleep. Then more thumping interrupted his thoughts. It sounded like footsteps then it suddenly stopped! He had no idea what time it was. He decided to look outside. What he saw was truly terrifying! Three wolves full grown.

Then next thing he knew he was getting dragged out of the burrow and thrown to the cold ground. ooh some fleshy fox here to eat. Said the biggest one. And a nice burrow to sleep in. He started going in. NO! Dash cried MY BROTHER IS IN THERE! Ooh another little fox to eat. He started going in more. but he only made it in a bit before he was shoved out by a growling fox. It was Leo! He scratched the wolf's face. The other two wolves left Dashes

side and helped the one wolf. Leo came over. Are you okay he said. I think so. Dash said.

I heard some yelling outside. but then i saw you weren’t there so i decided to check on you.

I'm glad you did. Dash said or i would have been a wolf's dinner. I’m glad your… a growling

Interrupted their conversation. It was the wolves. They were ready to attack.
