Chapter 1

JASPER PARK 1 YEAR AFTER THE 2ND RAMPAGE

"Lillian come here" Kate said to her young daughter who was getting into Humphreys fur ruffling it all up. "Awwwwwwww mom" Lillian said walking over to her mom "i was just playing around i wasnt bothering dad." "No she wasnt" Humphrey replied "she was just being a pup and having fun so let her be." Streak and Wilson came in after playing a game of tag the two had their hearts set on being alphas their sister Lillian was set on being an omega because she didnt care much for the killing and she already had a good arsenal of jokes. She and her brothers got along with practically everyone and they were already starting to look a little bit grown it was amazing how fast the past 9 months had gone. One thing had the pack in its grip today though, it was the one year anniversary of the creatures second rampage. It had started one year ago today and many people were still suffering because of thaty creature and of all things Winston. Kate and Humphrey decided that later today they would tell the kids about Winston and that he was their grandfather. Kate was still suffering because of her father and Humphrey hated him for it.

"Were the hell am I" said a female version of the original creature who had been wandering this area over and over again for the past damn year. Then she heard a voice that had been guiding her for that entire year and it said "welcome home just come a little closer and ill reveal myself whatever you do dont attack me or anything like that." The creature replied "OK i wont move my ass" she moved a few steps closer then stopped almost dead except for moving her head back and forth a little looking for whoever this was. She was a little surprised when a wolf that looked extremely wild moved out from a few small bushes and said with a voice matching her little advisor "well you met me now lets get out of here and ill show you around and we will discuss a plan i have to get rid of some infedels that have tried to kill me and will go after you." At first she was clueless but then she suddenly caught on and realised this was kill or be killed and from what she had seen herself as it was very possible for her to do so very violently.

The pups were playing in the plains under some supervision while Humphrey and Kate were waiting for the rest of the pack to arrive for the memorial speech to commemerate the deaths of all the victims. They were also going to tell the pups what had happend or their pups anyway since they were the oldest in the pack and would understand well. It didnt take long at all for the entirety of the pack to arrive at the meeting place just below the pack leaders den. Humphrey started out with "today we are here to remember the murder victims and celebrate the lives they lived and we are here to honor the three wolves that died while battling the creature and Winston." Kate now entered in saying "we will now have a moment of silence to commemerate the fallen." As soon as the moment passed Humphrey came in and said "The murdered are not forgotten they didnt deserve what they got none of them their lives were cut short by the greed of one and the rage of another and though they have been avenged they will never be forgotten." Kate entered again in saying "This one year has allowed the pack to grow but we have not recovered yet but the fallen would want us to be happy again so instead of mourning and crying we shall celebrate the life they did live and we will see the cup half full not half empty so please remeber that." Humphrey finished the rather short ceremony in saying "please rmember them by decorating their graves in is the best rememberance we can give." after that they finished with an actual prayer. They had picked up that trait from a group of camping humans that had prayed over their food and before they went to sleep. Afterwards the crowd departed and went to put flowers on the graves of the so many deaths.

A helicopter was flying over Jasper making a slight racket but not enough to really make anyone notice them. It was a group of humans that had been flying for nearly a year searching for somehing thought no one knew exactly what. The pilot and apparent leader of the group said "any sign of anything unusual" a guy looking through a pair of high powered binoculars replied "nope nothing whatever that thing is that got loose a year ago isnt down their i still say its dead by now though." It had been close to a year since a crew air flying some inbred experiment had crashed out of nowhere and landed less than five miles away from Jasper park. The people who ran the lab had came up with a reason for an evacuation of the park by saying the chopper had been carrying dangerous chemicals and the srategy had worked but nothing had been found. The expiriment had been a reproduction of a creature that had gotten loose around four months before that and it had nearly wiped out a portion of the wolf population in the Western side of Jasper but nothing had been found and the evac had been called off but searching had continued. In the following year their had been sightings of a werewolf creature in the area scaring the locals half to death but no serious evidence had been found. When a body of a half decayed werewolf creature had been seen in a nearby river everyone had said that the thing caught on film and in photos around Jasper was dead and yet they were still searching. One problem with their theroy though, that thing was about to show it was full of life.
