Here is the rewrite! I hope you'll like it!
Humphrey's POV
I'm hiding and holding my breath. Can't let them find me. I let the others out as well which when you think about might not be a great idea since it automatically made them notice. I had to though. I couldn't let those innocent souls go through whatever they'd make them go through. Suddenly I heard a few screams. My heart stopped and I felt my body freeze up with fear.
Another scream this time female was heard. She sounded like she was young. My guess is that was Michelle the 7-year-old brat from my village. Don't get me wrong I love her like my sister but man she has an attitude. I pushed that out of my mind remembering my situation. More screams were heard. I heard some struggles followed by stabbing. That caused me to break a few cold sweats.
Another scream. Then a male scream followed by a stab then followed by a boy's scream of sadness and fear. "WHERE'S THE LAST ONE!?" I heard a rigid voice yell out. Fear set in. Everyone was caught! No, no, crap. What do I do? Run for it? Run for it.
"Hey boy! Where are ya!? If you don't show yourself then I'll start slicing throats!" I heard someone shout followed by the sound of multiple wolve's laughing.
I stood still. I then heard Michelle scream again. I walked to see what was going on. I saw her with a man in a uniform having a dagger to her throat. "You got 10 seconds before she goes bye-bye!"
Michelle struggled and screamed. "HUMPHREY PLEASE SAVE ME! HELP ME PLEASE!". I couldn't let them kill her. I ran out of my hiding place.
I said nothing and put my hands up showing that I surrendered. The men in uniform smiled evilly. They tied us up and threw us in the carriage. I saw the hopeless faces around me. I saw the tears in the children's eye's who saw their relatives killed. I thought about what happens now. Finally, a woman spoke to me quietly. "I can't have my baby go through the torture they'll put us through." The parents who remained looked down with their hopeless faces and nodded.
I looked at the children. I saw the pure faces ruined by the gore they were just exposed to. I spoke to them. "When I untie you I want you all to quietly get off the carriage. Then carefully go to the bushes. Once you can't see the carriage run like the wind towards your villages. Okay?" The answer was a bunch of nods. I kept trying to untie myself. Unable to I looked at Michelle. She nodded as she sat behind me and started to untie me. Once she did I looked at the parents. "We need someone to go with them." The parents talked and came to a verdict that the woman who spoke to me earlier should. In the agreement, I untied the children. Then I untied her and then one by one they got off the carriage.
I saw them go to the woods. I looked at the last two remaining. Michelle and the woman. I hugged Michelle and told her to be nice to everyone in the village. I then looked at the woman. "We're counting on ya," I said. She gave me a hug and got off. Seeing them out of sight I sat back down.
I once again saw the other hopeless faces. They all looked down. None of us could be ready for our torturous future. We were scared. I know I'll most likely be executed for freeing the others but I don't care.
Thinking this my eyes grew heavy and everything went black.

I woke up to the sound of feet slamming on the pavement. I saw people come into sight. One started counting. When he was done his face grew furious. "WHERE ARE THE OTHER 14 PEASANTS!?" he slammed his fist on the wood of the carriage. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?"
He grabbed a random man and threw him out. He picked him up by his raggy shirt and screamed "HOW DID THEY ESCAPE!?"
The wolf feared for his life. With tears in his eyes, he looked at me. "It w-was him. They were able to escape because of him". The wolf in uniform followed where the eyes led which was straight to me.
The man walked in and dragged me out. He threw me to the ground. I covered my face as I fell. Rolling over I saw the wolf's face grow angrier. He jumped out and picked me up with his left hand. I had finally noticed the scenery. We were at the Kingdom. Right next to the castles gates. I saw many wolves staring. The last thing I saw was that the sun was rising before I felt massive pain in my cheek for a moment, then only saw black.
Kate's POV
I'm going to my first auction today. I'm so excited! I'm going with father and mother while Garth and Lily will be in charge of our recently united kingdom. We are going with the peasants that our men caught. As I exited I saw our load of peasants. We had a few good ones. Some small some strong. We were gonna make a huge profit. We went on our way to the meet up held in the Southern Kingdom. They are under the rule of King Landon Fultz VI. He is known to be a cruel and harsh king.
I looked out the window of our Royal Carriage. I saw the many trees and beautiful sun. It would be a long ride to the Southern Kingdom. I could hear the faint sounds of struggle from behind us. I knew it was the profit struggling to break free. I don't understand why. They should be happy to be the reason for our huge profit today.
I heard the sound of hooves stepping and wheels turning as we slowly kept moving. Mother and father looked at me. Father spoke "Kate this being your first auction we won't let you have full power in the trades. But we will give you 5 gold coins so you can buy what you think will help our community" Gold coins are super valuable. (Translate 1 gold coin=1 million dollars). He gave me the coins and I excitedly grabbed them, I held them in my hand. I started to think of my plan.

Humphrey's POV
I woke up to see a huge room. My face really hurt. I noticed a huge chair and a man with a crown on it. I was in the presence of the vile King Fultz. I saw the men in front of me were the ones who captured and brought me here. The king smiled noticing I was awake. "Alright let's hear what happened!" He said in a cheery voice hiding his true nature.
One of the men spoke "S-Sire it wasn't our fault. This thing somehow freed our catches. We had many more. We had exceeded your wishes then he ruined it. The ones it freed are long gone." he said with fear echoing in his voice.
The king only smiled. "Ohh really! Well, you should've been more aware of what happened. I think you were trying to hurt my profit. ALL OF YOU SHALL BE EXECUTED AFTER THE AUCTION FOR TREASON!-" The king's face filled with rage as he looked at me. "As for you. If you aren't sold you will be tortured to death!" he calmed down and smiled evilly. "Get these filthy peasants out of my sight."
The men screamed. Them knowing that their lives would soon meet their end. I was taken to a dark place below the castle. I saw many men. They took me past them. The men carrying me said "You get the special treatment" and laughed.
I think this is a good place to end it. What's this special treatment? I hope you all enjoyed this one and I'll see you guys in the next one!
