Life With Kate: Chapter 1: Meeting Kate
Hi, my name is Chris. This is the story of how I met someone very dear to me in my life. It all started last summer. My parents and I decided to go to Jasper Park, Canada for a week after finishing the national trapshooting championships. So we loaded up the RV and crossed the border to Jasper. After a couple hours or driving and me watching Alpha and Omega on my iPad, we finally arrived at the campsite. The site was brand new and was near a beautiful valley. We parked next to a trail that leads into the woods. I immediately wanted to go and explore, but my dad and mom made me help hook up the RV to the electricity and shit like that. After doing that, I was ready to explore. "Dad, can I go look around now?" I asked. "Alright with me, but be careful, there have been some wild wolf sightings near here. They said you can take a small weapon to protect yourself. Why don't you go get your .9 mm?" my dad told me. "Ok!" I said. I loved carrying the 9 mm with me. I felt like someone from Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2. So I ran into the trailer, grabbed my gun, and went off into the forest.
The forest was beautiful! The air smelled so nice and it was cool from the shade of the trees. I walked down the trail singing the theme song from that new game "Shadows of the Damned" it was sung by the lady who sings the songs from the Silent Hill series, which I am a big fan of. I have every single one and pre-ordered Silent Hill: Downpour. So anyway, I was walking along, humming and singing the song and I grew tired after a while. So I decided to sit under a tree and take a rest. I put my gun on safety so I would not accidentally blow my nuts off and relaxed like time completely stopped. That's when I heard growling. I sat up and held my gun close. Thinking it was a wolf, I turned the safety off, waiting to face whatever was making that growling. After a second, It stopped. I put my gun down but just as I did, the bush next to me started rustling. I aimed the gun and waited. "AH! Don't shoot!" a voice cried. I immediately put my gun away and looked into the bushes. It was a little wolf pup, well, she looked like she was going to leave her pup years soon anyway. She had light brown fur with a white underbelly, and the most beautiful golden eyes. "Hey there little guy." I said. "Guy? I'm a girl!" she laughed. I was shocked. "D-did you just talk to me?" I asked in disbelief. "Uh, yeah. I'm Kate by the way." she said. That's when I recognized her, it was Kate from the movie. "Wow! Your Kate from Alpha and Omega!" I said. "What? Whats Alpha and Omega?" Kate asked. I pulled out my iPad and showed her the part from her puppy hood. "Hey that's me!" she said, wagging her tail. "Yeah, and your sister Lilly too!" I said, pointing to her. She then saw Humphrey on the screen. "And there is Humphrey!" I laughed. "Wow! What is that thing?" she asked, pointing to my iPad. "This, Kate, is called an iPad. They are really cool!" I said. "Yeah they look cool!" Kate laughed. That's when I heard my dad calling me. "Aw, Kate, I have to go." I said. "Will you be back?" she asked. "Of course. Ill come by tomorrow." I said. "Cool! Its nice to meet you uhhhh..." "Chris." "Ok! Nice to meet ya Chris!" She said, running off. As I watched her go, I smiled, knowing I made a new, and unlikely friend.
So over the next few days, I would sneak away from camp to go visit my new friend Kate. We talked and I taught her to play fetch. I even gave her a few hunting tips and she gave me some after I found out we both loved to hunt deer. I told her how a rifle works and how we can see things far away with a scope. I even told her how we spray stuff on our clothes to block our scent. "Wow, you humans are pretty tricky." Kate said, "Yeah, hunting is fun." I said. Kate then looked at me with a serious look. "Have you ever killed a wolf?" she asked. "Well, the only time I would ever kill a wolf is if he attacked me or someone I loved. It happened once. I felt bad too. Dont get me wrong I was just trying to protect my cousin." I said. "I buried it later." "Well, that's understandable. Your a good kid Chris." Kate said. "I wish we could hang out every day like this." Kate said. That's when I remembered we were leaving the next morning. "Actually Kate, I would love to do that too. But I go home tomorrow." I said. She looked up at me with sad eyes. "Where is that? Far away?" she asked. "Yes, VERY far. I may never see you again." I said, feeling a tear run down my cheek. "No Chris! I don't want you to go!" Kate hugged me, crying. I wiped the tears from her cheeks and smiled. "Kate, no matter what, wherever you go, what ever you see and do, I will always be your friend. I will come back for you." I said. Kate stopped crying and looked at me. "Promise?" She asked. I nodded. "I promise." *Cue the "Promise" song for Silent Hill 2* With that, my dad called me to go to bed. Kate licked my cheek and I kissed her on the forehead. With that, she walked away, crying. I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked to the RV.
