Only New Life, Can Defeat Death

This is another story; it was an idea that came to me when I watched Final Destination with my sister. I told my English teacher about my idea of writing about it, she said it sounded good. So let's hope if I can entertain you. It was in my head for about a month, and it popped back in my head when my brother wanted to see the new movie of it. Enjoy.

A pup and his parents had just woken up from their sleep and are now leaving the den.

"Stay by us ok?" The father asked his son.

"Ok, I'll stay by you." The pup responded with a sad tone.

"Cheer up Humphrey, we just don't want to lose you." Humphrey's mother replied while she nuzzled him. Humphrey's moods brighten up a bit, but he wanted to explore the world. Humphrey and his parents were taking a small stroll in the forest of Jasper Park when Humphrey ran away from his parents.

"Humphrey! Come back!" Humphrey's mom shouted. Humphrey dodged trees and bushes, leaving a small amount of dust in the air behind him.

"Humphrey, come here now!" Humphrey dad shouted as they began to chase after their son. Humphrey had a smile on his face when he left and turned around and saw his parents running after him.

"Ok, now just got to hide." Humphrey told himself as he looked around.

"Perfect." He whispered to himself as he ran inside a hollow tree trunk, waiting for his parents to pass by.

"Where did he go?" His dad questioned as he looked around for his son. His mom looked around, searching for their son, but then realized what their son was doing.

"He's doing it again." His mom whispered with a sigh. Humphrey was trying not to laugh, giving away his position.

"Where did he go? His dad asked with his voice raised at the word 'go'. Humphrey's dad walked away from the entrance of the log, exiting Humphrey's peripheral vision. Humphrey began to worry that his dad would find his fast.

"Here you are!" his dad shouted as he jumped over a bush. Humphrey almost fainted, but realized his dad hasn't spotted him.

"Hmmm, well, if he wants to be out here that's not good. A Southern wolf may appear at night, searching for some lone wolves." Humphrey's dad said out loud.

"No, no no. I won't do it again!" Humphrey pleaded as he crawled out of his hiding spot. His parents looked at him and shook their head in discomfort.

"You can't be running off to who knows where. You can actually run into a southern wolf." His mom explain to the pup.

"Come on, we spent enough time searching for your furry little butt that it's almost noon." His dad announced. The sun was almost noon, and it time seemed to speed up. The family of three was at their den, and just finished their meal.

"Hey dad?" Humphrey asked as he walked back in the den from disposing the bones of the caribou carcass.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Um, what are you going to…?" Humphrey stopped when he saw his dad give him an uneasy stare.

"Never mind." Humphrey said sadly as he walked to his part of the den that was the back. Humphrey walked in a couple of circles before lying on the compact dirt, drifting off to sleep.

"Gordon, why didn't you let your son finish?" Humphrey's mom asked with a serious tone.

"He keeps asking what I'm going to get him for his birthday. Its tomorrow, but I can't think of anything." Gordon replied with his ears slightly drooping.

"Then you should go and ask Winston about something to give him. Eve is going to have a pup soon, so I guess their already planning on stuff like that." She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"You know what? I'll do that. Thanks Krystal, uh, I mean honey." Gordon called back as he left the den. Krystal turned towards her son and walked over to him.

"Humphrey." Krystal whispered to herself. Humphrey was asleep, but shifted around, now laying on his back. Krystal watched her son roll over, and his mouth slightly open.

"Now's the chance." Krystal thought to herself as she walked towards the side and picked up a cherry color leaf with some brown liquid in it. When Krystal sat in front of her son, she realized that he had streams of tears escaping his eyes.

"Come on, don't let this opportunity slip by." Krystal told herself. She sighed before she slowly poured the liquid in his slightly open mouth.

The liquid slowly went down his throat, not waking him. When Krystal finished pouring the liquid she took a step back.

"Hope it works." Krystal whispered. Humphrey groaned, rolling over and laying on his side.

Winston's Den

Winston was placing his paw on Eve's stomach, feeling the pup inside her kick.

"I felt it again!" Winston said excitedly. Eve smiled and stood up slowly.

"I should be due in about a few days." Eve said as she rubbed her stomach. Just then Gordon ran into the den, panting.

"Gordon, what is it? Did something happen?" Winston questioned. Gordon held up his paw, catching his breath.

"I need to ask you something." Gordon replied once he caught his breath.

"Uh, sure. Eve you stay here. This won't take long." Winston told Eve as he kissed her before leaving. Winston followed Gordon out of the den and watched as he sat by the ledge. Winston sat next to him and waited for Gordon to speak.

"My son's birthday is tomorrow, and I was wondering what you would give him, because I can't think of anything." Gordon finished with his ears drooping.

"Oh, uh, what does he like?" Winston asked so he could get some idea on what to get him.

"Well, he active, like to run, chases his tail, but I'm worried. We don't let him out often because he just has so much energy that he takes off. He wants to talk to someone else beside me and Krystal, he mentioned friends, but I'm worried that they might pick on him." Gordon explained.

Winston sat, taking in all the information about Humphrey.

"Well, I have an idea, but he would have to wait for it. He turns what, two?" Winston asked.

"One actually."

"And he's running and chasing his tail?" Winston asked, amazed that Humphrey is already active like a three year old.

"Yeah, why? What was he going to have to wait for?" Gordon asked with curiosity in his voice. Winston smiled and turned towards the den where Eve was laying down.

"He could meet our pup or pups were having. He seems friendly, enthusiastic, and built to defend. He could have a friend for his birthday." Winston answered with a smile. Gordon thought about it.

"Give him a friend, or ruin his first birthday? The obvious one of course." Gordon thought to himself.

"That sounds perfect, but I'm worried what he would do. He could hurt the pup, or pups." Gordon explained.

"I don't think he'll hurt them, if he does, I won't be able to save him from my wife." Winston, replied with worry.

"I'll take that chance. I want him to have friends, but the outcome is what worries me. We'll, it's getting late. I got to go sir, but I'll make sure to tell Krystal about his gift." Gordon thanked him and took off home. Winston watched him leave and turned his attention back to his mate.

Winston walked in and saw Eve asleep at the back of the den. Winston cuddled as close as he can to her, without outing pressure on the pup, or pups.

"Goodnight." Winton whispered as he kissed his mate's forehead. Winston was drifting off to sleep, but felt a kick on his stomach. He looked down and saw the pup, or pups, kick around, accidently hitting him.

"I can't wait, see you soon." Winston whispered as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Gordon's Den (Humphrey's Home)

Gordon arrived home and the moon was now appearing through the clouds. Gordon coughed from the outside of the den, alerting his mate he was home. Krystal walked out of the den, her light grey fur glowing in the moonlight. Her fur was almost white, making the color of her orange eyes stand out.

"Wow." Gordon whispered to himself. Krystal saw his amazed face and giggled. Gordon snapped out of his trance and focused on his mate.

"Honey, I got some good news." Gordon said with slight excitement. Krystal's ears perked up.

"What is it? Is it about Humphrey's birthday?" Krystal questioned.

"Yes, and Winston could give Humphrey the best present he could get."

"Aww, honey you shouldn't hav… Wait! Winston is giving him the present?" Krystal asked with a little anger.

"Well, Winston and I put 2 and 2 together and he said that when Eve has the pup, or pups, Humphrey could meet them, and maybe become friends." Gordon smiled weakly. Krystal nodded slowly and hugged him.

"Well that was thoughtful of Winston for doing that." Krystal pulled away.

"Humphrey's asleep in his part of the den. Wait, but isn't Eve having the pup, or pups, in a few days?"

"Winston told me about it and said it would be a late gift, but I bet it'll make up for it." Gordon smiled as he kissed Krystal.

"Wanna howl real quick? It's a beautiful night, like you." Gordon suggested. Krystal giggled and kissed him back.

"Never miss an opportunity." Krystal replied as she took a step back and lifted her muzzle, giving a loved filled howl. Gordon smiled and lifted his, merging his and Krystal's howls together and making the night even better.

Humphrey woke up from the sound of his parents howling. Humphrey looked out the mouth of the den and saw his parents leaning against each other. Humphrey felt light headed, but something in him snapped.

"I just wanted a friend to talk to, but no. They want me here so they could keep babying me." Humphrey whispered to himself, a single tear escaped his eye as he laid back down.

"I want to be like that when I grow up, being loved by everyone, making many friends, and having someone to share my love for. But I will do what my parents failed at. Paying attention to their child." Humphrey thought darkly, and falling asleep once again.

Gordon and Krystal kissed each other before walking in their den, calling it a night. They feel asleep next to each other, thinking about each other, and feeling each other's warm body heat, making them forget about their son.

Well that's chapter 1, and I will try to multi task with Aftermath and this story. Please review and let me know what you think of it so far.
