Chapter 1: As the young ones leave their home
It is a quite and peaceful in the late afternoon, clear skies and warm sunlight burns our hearts with spirit. The caribous are grassing, birds are chirping, and the wolves. The wolves is readying for a feast, as Kate and Garth is hunting their last preys for the pack. Kate calmly hide herself behind bushes quite a distance with the caribous and Garth is hiding behind the trees 18 meters west from Kate. On the other side, is their mate Humphrey and Lilly with their position behind the caribou, readying for surprise attack. Time is on their hand, then Lilly and Humphrey jumps the two caribous, one each and grabs their back bottom side to slow them down. Reflect of Kate and Garth, they attack after the surprise attack and kill the prey perfectly just how Kate and Lilly's mother used to teach them. "Take those beautiful claws of yours, go for the throat, and don't let go until their body stop shaking".
After they kill their preys, Salty and Shakey helps them return the carcasses back to the food pile. In the food pile, they join Sweets, Candy, Can-do, and Hutch. It was a glorious day, because the pack kills 5 caribous that day. At the night, before the moonlight howl, the wolves are feasting and reuniting with their families. Winston is still ruling the pack, and along with him are Eve and Tony. Kate, Humphrey, Lilly and Garth are using this moment to reunite together and their family for the last time. At the moonlight howl, they are also howling together and fills the night with their beautiful song. But at the end of the party, Eve was bothered by something. She cannot let go their child that easy.
At the morning Eve woke up very early. She decided to check her child den. Through the cold nights, Lilly was sleeping on Garth's chest. And on the other side of the den, Humphrey was sleeping on Kate's stomach and her tail was on Humphrey's nose (yeah, I don't know). Seeing this, Eve tears begin to fall, which wakes up our four heroes. "mom, don't worry, we'll be fine" Lilly said to her mom. "But I never get to release my rage to those who did something to you if anything happen ever again". She replies. "Then we will do it, we will take our beautiful claws and rip their throat off" Kate and Lilly replies. Hearing that, Eve starts to feel proud to herself who was successful of teaching her child.
"Lilly isn't that violence right?" Garth whisper to Humphrey
"No, but Kate sure is(gulp)" Humphrey replies.
The young wolves are about to leave. Winston, Tony, Eve, Shakey, Salty, Sweets, Candy, Can-do, and hutch, gives them flowers and meat for their journey. After saying their tearful goodbyes, Kate, Humphrey, Garth, and Lilly starts their journey on their new path to the light. Leaving their families tear on their back.
Chapter 2: Their old Heroes
They begin their journey, wind and yellow skies is a sign of late afternoon. And they get no place to start their pack.. Birds are chirping around them, and a flap of a wing indicates a different type of birds are heading their way. They see two birds above their heads, one has a yellow color in it's feathers and dull orange beak. The other one has light brown feathers and dark brown feather around it's neck and upper wings.
"I rarely seen a goose flying with a duck, maybe this is even the first time" said Garth
"The goose is on the loose : )" Humphrey tried to joke (bad joke)
"Humphrey! That's Marcel and Paddy! Marcel! Paddy!"
"Who? Can I eat them?" Garth said.
"Eat them? No! they are the one who guide us home from Idaho!"
*flap flap* "Bonjour a tous, you *wulves heading somewhere" Marcel greets them
"aahhh, so you *wulfves has found your mate ah?"
"Yes, Marcel. This is Kate sister, Lilly" Humphrey introduce Lilly to Marcel and Paddy
"aahh madamoselle I can say that you are most beautiful"
"Thank you Marcel" Lilly Replies.
"And this is Garth, Lilly's mate".
"Bonjour, Monseour" and Garth replies: "uhh, hey there…"
"Lilly, Garth, this is Marcel and Paddy"
"So where are you guys heading?" ask Paddy
"We are trying to find a place where we can hunt, eat, and rest at cozy place where we can make our own pack" Kate replies.
"How about Yellowstone park? It's nice place, with trees and caribous and lake with weird feature on it. Yeah, it's been quite a while when we play there. It might be nice to go there."
"Yeah, great, so how do we get there, travel agent?"
"Remember canadian express? The train will take you through there too. You know the place where you can board do you? After all you once want to be the loner and coincidentally, another train is coming this way."
"Okay I know about it alright, listen guys, we need to keep our speed to reach the train, once we reach the corner of the track, we will see an opened train wagon, as soon as we get near it, jump!"
Humphrey explains to the pack.
"Paddy and I will also follow you from the sky. To keep you on track. Let's go"
Then Marcel, Paddy and Humphrey lead the other to the railways. Once they got there, they are adjusting their formation to four lines and their speed. Humphrey once again sees the light and shadow of him and Kate sitting together on edge of the wagon staring to the light. But this time he do not hesitate to jump to the train. Because he knows that Kate is with him, and he is with Kate, and they are with their most trusted guidance, and they are not the only wolf. They are with their heart. They have their hunters, their jokers, and their most beloved. So Kate and Humphrey are running gently, and besides them are Lilly and Garth also readying to jump. And finally they jump with their mates and lands perfectly in same wagon. Marcel and Paddy keeps up with them in the sky. And they all enjoys the view of trees and mountains glowing from the light of the warm sun.
Chapter 3: Colorful Journey.
Laughs, Jokes, Surprises. Those are the things which empower the bond of families, friendship, and love. And those are the thing which colors our little pack's journey to the Yellowstone park where they can expand their pack.. Cold breeze of the night makes Humphrey's bladder full. But he bare his bladder and cross his leg, because he didn't want to trouble the other just like last time(the cupcakes thingy). It's a full moon that night and the train is going pass a great lake, making the whole train exposed to the moonlight. Kate, Lilly and Garth noticed this and howl together. Humphrey use this chance and pee on the other side of the wagon. He aims his urine to the outside the wagon. He didn't realize that there is a human near the railway, and unexpectedly spray the human with his urine. The human exclamation directs Kate's attention so she turns around and she sees Humphrey lifting his right leg. Kate rolls her eyes and ask.
"What are you doing?"
"You know what I'm doing, hehe"
"Right, come on, howl with us together"
"Alright"
After their moonlight howl, Kate, Garth, and Lilly going to sleep. But Humphrey didn't, something bothers him.
"How could there be a human near the railway in the middle of the forest?" He ask himself.
Then he hears Paddy and Marcel wings flapping goes louder. When they reach the wagon where the wolves is resting, Humphrey greets them with serious face.
"Bonjoir monsieur, you wolves got to hide!" Marcel said in hurry.
"Wow what is it Marcel? Why in such a hurry?"
"We are arriving at a station. Every wagon will be checked and there will be some load exchange. If the humans found us, we are dead meat"
"Alright, let's wake up the others"
As Humphrey wakes the others up, the train wheels sounds frictions with the railways, indicating that the train goes slower. The wolves has gain consciousness and they are curious of what is happening.
"Guys, we got to hide. We are arriving at a train station, and they will check every wagon. If they find us we are doom" Humphrey warns them
"Okay, let's just get out while the train stopped and hide in bushes or something" Lilly suggest.
The train finally stopped, and the sounds of humans activity is a certainty. The Wolves are lucky, the station is only on the right side of the railways while in the left side, they can see woods and bushes. Without thinking further, the wolves jumps out of the trains and hide not deep into the woods.
Thirty minutes has passed and the train hasn't move yet. Tiredness puts Marcel, Paddy, and the wolves to sleep like a magic. No one awakes until the sun rises as high as a spear. Humphrey and Garth are the first one to wake up. And they soon found out that the train has left them far behind. Knowing this Humphrey and Garth stressed out. They quickly wakes up the other. The gang looked desperate. They do not know where they are and they do not know what to do.
"Bonjour wolves. Don't worry, Yellowstone park is not very far now. It will take some 2 hours walking" Marcel words cheers them up.
"I suggest we start walking and enjoy the view" Paddy strongly suggest.
So the gang start to walk to Yellowstone. Through the forests where the goose found their dream mates. Through foot of a snow mountain where they again find a group of bears and trying not to bother them. But they do, so the gang again plays tree-slide through slopes to escape from attacking bears(Humphrey sent regards to the bear's child). They also go through a small village where angry farmers chase them to prevent them to eat their sheep. Many obstacles they found in their path to Yellowstone. But they finally made it. Hunger tells them to hunt and eat first before they do anything else. The caribous are grassing so peacefully without any wolves hunting them down there. And so for the first time, the small pack hunts them down. They don't need much, so they only hunt one. And after the hunt, they pull the carcass to a wood, where Marcel and Paddy find the best place for the pack to stay. Dinner is serve, and the pack have a great meal, howl and sleep that night. So they ready to begin, their new lives at their new home.
Chapter 4: A New Home
The moon fades away as the sun rise up. Lilly wakes up and see Garth standing high outside the den. He looks worried, so Lilly approach him and rubs her head to Garth's side chest, hoping it will erase his worries.
"What is it Garth?"
"I don't know if this is a good idea, what if our pack didn't work? What if we failed?"
"Then we fail together. But why thinking of failing, we have a great team! If you are thinking of eating while we repopulate, you better get some teamwork up with Humphrey"
"I guess you're right, after all he is a good tactician"
"That's the spirit, now why don't we just take a walk?"
"okay"
And so, Lilly and Garth take a walk at the park. They found out where the water is, where the caribou herd usually grassing, and another spot to make another den.
"You hungry?" Ask Garth
"well… But I don't want the caribous left over from last night"
"We can hunt some squirrels or something. Let me tell you how. Squirrels is a good climber, but they are a slower runner than we are. So all you have to do is keep them away from trees or jump them when they are still in lower side of a tree."
"That sounds easy, why don't you give me an example?"
"Okay here I go, see that squirrel? It is trying to find a nut. I'll go get it"
The squirrel didn't notice, and it is about to take the nut. And Garth surprise it from behind, but the squirrel notice that, so it ran away to the nearest tree. But before it can reach even the vertical part of the tree's wood. Garth grabs it with his opened paws.
"see? piece of squirrel"
"Wow, you're amazing, okay I'll try"
Lilly finds another squirrel biting peanuts on the ground. Like Garth teach him, she is readying an ambush behind tall grasses. Without hesitate Lilly runs towards the squirrel, and the squirrel also ran away. Smartly, the squirrel make an acute change in direction near a slippery soil. And Lilly didn't notice so her legs couldn't change her direction. But her head is already on top of the squirrel, so she use it to catch the squirrel with her mouth. A spray of dirt covers his nose, mouth, and cheeks when her jaws make contact with the muddy and slippery ground.
"How do I do?" Ask Lilly
"Wohow! You have excellent reflex, good job. Here let me clean the mud for you" Garth replies as he approach Lilly and cleans her fur with his nose and tongue. With blushing face, Lilly push her nose to Garth's nose and rub it.
"Thank you honey, I love you"
"I love you too, uhh Lilly" Garth ask while he stares the ground
"Yes honey?"
"If we want to make a new pack, we better start it soon, to… you know, strengthened our pack"
"Are you asking to do it with me now?"
"Well, not now, but… soon"
"I am okay with it honey, how about tonight?" Lilly replies and lean to Garth's chest. They enjoy their prey's flesh while they lean to each other watching the sun slowly rest itself behind a mountain. The day is finally dark, and our cute couple head up to the second den site. And they are having the time of their lives. Back to the den, Kate look at the moon and worries. "Where are Lilly and Garth" she said to herself. "Stop worrying about them Kate, I've picked up their scent and they are fine" "Yes, but Humphrey…" "Come on Kate, why don't you trust your own sister and her strong mate they will be fine" "how do you know they're will be fine? When did you track them anyway?" "Ow come on, now you don't trust your own mate? Come now Kate, trust me" Humphrey smiles wide to Kate. "haha, okay, who can argue with your smile" "Good now, let's have some fun before we're sleeping" "Okay, let's go *giggles*"
Few days past normally, until Kate and Lilly aren't feeling well. So they decided to stay at the den together while Garth and Humphrey hunt down breakfast.
"Hey sister, what's going on with you?" Kate ask as rubs her nose to Lilly's cheek.
"I don't know Kate, I feel something is wrong with my belly."
"Really? Me too. Say, what did you do with Garth that night spending the night separately with us?" Lilly starts to smile and her face is blushing. "Well, it was quite amazing you know…" Lilly answer and somewhat wink, to hide her embarrassment. "Wait, you didn't…do…that….with.." "Wait! You did that too right?" "Well you did that too!" "And you did that too!" The girls exclaim themselves as they rouse and sit. Finally they laugh hysterically together.
"Owh, Lilly, you're kidding me right? Where did you do that? And told me you really did that with Garth." "Well yeah duh, who else can I do it with? And we find a secret den in the forest, and you do it here?" "Hahahaha, well yes, I did it right where you are sitting right now" "Really? Eww" Lilly rouse and change position. "Nah I am just kidding, heheh" "So Kate, how was it?" "What it? It, it?" "yes, you know what I am talking about" "Well it was amazing, he…did it…amazing…" "I know, indescribable right? We can't let our young audience know how it was, they are still too young" (Well, you are also young Lilly).
The two girls continued their laugh until, Garth and Humphrey came up after the hunt.
"Bad strategy dude, you gotta think of something else" Garth says with his mouth partially open
"I know, but good thing is we did get quite a size"
"Yeah, but you almost hurt yourself. Not to mention that funny accident"
"hahaha, yeah, I laughed at myself." Humphrey enters the den. "Well you girls having a fun quality time together I see." Humphrey's words makes the girls laugh even louder. "Did I say something? Something on my face?" "Don't know, everything is seems okay" Garth replies.
"No Humphrey, it's just that we were talking about you two"
"Ow, now it's just disturbing, forget about it. Let's dig in!"
"Okay! Bon Apetit!" The wolves, enjoys their breakfast and the warm sunlight. Lifting their heads feeling the morning blight filled with hope.
