Katie's New Life Chapter 10: Family Reunion Part 1

Katie was on her way from the veterinarian after spending the night with Kodi and Jonathan to go to the boiler room, where the other dogs would be at when she heard the sound of dogs, more specifically, dogs she had never heard while she was in Nome. She looked towards the source of sound and saw what looked like four gray huskies about her age. Naturally, she went towards them to welcome them to Nome. When she got to them, she noticed that they all had quite familiar patterns and grey to black fur, but she paid that no mind.
"Welcome to Nome," welcomed Katie. "My name's Katie."
"Katie," said one of dogs, who had black fur, green eyes, and a fur pattern similar to Katie's. "That's a nice name. Reminds me a lot of my sister, before she ran away a year ago."
"Hmmm," replied Katie.
"In fact, you look just like her," finished the dog.
"Interesting," responded Katie, thinking that this dog might be one of her brothers. "You yourself look a lot like my brother Alan."
"Well how did you know my name?" asked the dog. "Unless you happen to be the same Katie…" Right then, it hit Alan on the head that the Katie he was talking to was his lost sister. "Are you the same Katie that ran away a year ago?"
Katie was now sure that this was her brother Alan, but now she just had to find a way to tell him that she was, in fact, his sister.
"Yes…I am," answered Katie.
"Well we all missed you," said Alan. "Me, Chase, Kristen, and Roderick," explained Alan, referring to him, another dog that looked like Alan except for light gray fur and brown eyes, a dark grey dog with a similar to Steele, and a dark grey dog with only a white muzzle, paws, and chest, all of whom were sitting behind Alan.
"So, how's it going sis?" inquired Kristen.
"Yeah, we'd like to know what it's been like since you ran away," agreed Roderick.
"I'll explain later," said Katie. "Right now, I want you to meet my friends.
"Okay then," replied Chase. The five dogs then started heading towards the boiler room where Katie know the other dogs would be.
Kirby, Ralph, Delilah and Jessica all were in the boiler room, chatting on their day off when Katie and four other dogs unfamiliar to them.
"Guys, you won't believe who I just came across," said Katie.
"Well who is it?" asked Delilah.
Right then, all four of Katie's brothers and sister walked in.
"Well who are all of these dogs," inquired Jessica.
"These are my brothers and sisters," replied Katie."Alan, Chase, Kristen, and Roderick."
"Well nice to meet you all," said Kirby.
Katie then introduced her siblings to her friends. They were all glad to meet Katie's friends.
"Nice to meet you all," said Kristen.
"And I can say the same for you," replied Ralph. Right then, Dusty gave him an evil glare.
"I wasn't just referring to Kristen!" shouted Ralph.
"I know," replied Dusty. "I was just messing with you." Right then, everybody laughed for a while.
"Hey Katie," said Delilah. "Don't you have someone else you have to show them?" Katie knew that Delilah was referring to Kodi and Jonathan.
"Oh right, I forgot about them for a minute," responded Katie.
"Forgot about who?" asked Alan, curious about who Katie was referring to.
"Yeah, who are you talking about?" questioned Chase.
"Just a few other dogs I know," answered Katie.
"Well can we go meet them then?" requested Kristen.
"Sure," replied Katie. Katie then led her siblings out of the boiler room.
"Bye guys," said Katie to the other dogs.
"Bye Katie," said the mail dogs.
Katie and her siblings were heading to the veterinarian's office to have her siblings meet Kodi and Jonathan. When the five dogs got there, Katie's siblings noticed what the sign above the building said.
"Hey, why are we heading to the vet?" inquired Roderick.
"It's a long story…" explained Katie as she led the dogs into the vet.
Meanwhile in the vet, Jonathan and Kodi were both lying down, Kodi being asleep. For Jonathan, it was boring when Katie wasn't around, so when Jonathan heard the sound of five dogs coming in from outside got his hopes up that it would be somebody interesting. He was excited to see that Katie was one of them the dogs he heard, but when he say four other dogs besides Katie, he wondered who they were.
"Hey Katie," greeted Jonathan. "Who are these dogs?"
"Oh, hi," replied Katie. "These are my brothers and sisters, Alan, Chase, Kristen, and Roderick," said Katie, pointing to each respective dog.
"Well nice to meet you all," said Jonathan. "My name Jonathan,"
"Thanks," replied Kristen.
"Hey Jon," said Roderick. "How'd you end up here, in the vet?"
"It's a long story…" explained Jonathan. "However, what happened was I ran away after I got depressed after I found out in a series of dreams about who my father was. Katie here, along with Kodi, who's the red dog next to me went to find me."
"But Kodi and I came across an old enemy of Jonathan, named Johnny,  who apparently wanted to do the same thing to me that Dad did to me, before I ran away," continued Katie, quieting down a bit near the end of the sentence. "But Kodi was there to defend me and helped fend off Johnny, but got miserably hurt in the process."
"I was thinking of ending my misery by drowning before Katie showed up. She tried to stop me from killing myself and almost drowned herself, but luckily, I came to my senses and rescued her," further elaborated Jonathan.
"Then Johnny turned up again. He and Jonathan had a fight and Jonathan won. Then we found Kodi, badly beaten and here we are now." finished Katie.
"Oh," responded Roderick.
"So who was your father?" asked Kristen.
"My father was a black Alaskan Malamute by the name of Steele," answered Jonathan.
"Oh my god," responded Alan.
"But doesn't that make you or brother?" inquired Chase.
"Half-brother," corrected Katie.
"But how could you believe that a dream would tell you who your father was?" questioned Kristen.
"Listen," started Jonathan. "A dear friend of mine once told me that dreams sometimes are a way of finding out things that you would have never known about otherwise, and that they should be taken seriously."
"Well I never would've thought that," replied Kristen.
"None of us would've thought that," responded Roderick.
Right then, the vet came, disrupting their conversation. He looked down and saw Katie, alone with four other dogs beside her.
"I bet you came with a couple of friends to see if Jonathan and Kodi here would be doing better?" said the veterinarian. "Don't worry, Jon here is being discharged today,"
Katie barked happily.
"However, it'll be a month or two before Kodi can leave," continued the vet. Katie lowered her ears a bit in concern, but she knew that Kodi would be taken good care of. Katie watched as the vet left the room before turning to Jonathan again.
"Well I guess I can finally leave now," said Jonathan. "Do you all feel like heading back to the boiler room to rejoin the rest of our friends?" Katie looked at her siblings, who all nodded before turning back to Jonathan again.
"Yeah, we all feel like it," replied Katie.
"Well let's get going then," responded Jonathan. All six dogs then left the vet and headed back towards the boiler room, where all of the other dogs would be.
