Chapter 1: Prologue
A/N Thanks to NFS LOVER for giving me inspiration to make this story from his story 'High School'. Go check it now!
It was the graduating day of elementary school. A young Humphrey was eager to move on with his life and too see what High school was all about. 1 by 1, teachers called the graduating wolves names. "Shawn Ashe" the teacher announced as Humphrey clapped the hardest out of all his classmates. "Yeah Brother!" Humphrey shouted out as dead silence fell in the auditorium. As all of the graduating wolves names were called, they were asked to stand up. "Ladies and gentlemen, Your graduating class of 2012!" The teacher announced as every wolf threw their gowns up sky high.
At the end of the graduation party, they were greeted by their dad. "Dad!" The 2 wolves yelled in unison as they ran up to give their old man a hug. "How are my 2 new high school boys!" Their dad responded. The 3 'men' went out and partied all night. They finally decided that it was time to call it a night. "Alright, boys get in the car" As he opened the door to the backseat. As they were driving down the road, Humphrey and Shawn's dad handed them a briefcase. "What is this dad?" The boys asked curiously. But before their dad could respond to their question, another car had crashed into them.
Humphrey then woke up later on lying in a bed in the hospital. "Uuh where am I?" He asked himself as he tried to get up but couldn't due to pain in his ribs. A moment later, a female wolf had walked in the room. "Mom?" Humphrey asked as his vision was still not 100%. "Are you ok Humphrey?" His mom asked as she sat down next to her son. All of a sudden a knock on the door was heard and Humphrey's mom was called outside. Humphrey could see a bit through the transparent window on the door as the doctor handed Humphrey and Shawn's mom a paper which seemed like the bill.
Out of rage and due to the fact that she didn't have that kind of money, she left her kids in the hospital and ran away.
After a few hours of sleep, the nurses had brought Shawn in the same room as Humphrey. "Hey lil bro how are you?" Shawn asked. "Fine thanks" Humphrey replied. As if on cue, a male wolf had entered the room. "Are you guys ok?" The wolf asked. "Uncle Alex!" The boys said together. "I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your dad won't make it…." Alex said as he lowered his head. "Dad.." Humphrey said as tears ran down his eyes. "And another thing, your mom has disappeared" Alex said but this time with a happy tone. "Well I never liked her anyways" Shawn said with a smile on his face. "And she never really liked as" Humphrey added on. "So the nurses told me that this belonged to you" Alex said as he handed the briefcase to the boys. "I'll leave you guys to it, and for this day forward, I'm your legal guardian" Alex said as he left the room and closed the door.
Humphrey and Shawn opened the briefcase to see 2 metal boxes. Humphrey handed Shawn 1 box while he took the other. They played Wolf, rabbit , Turtle to see who would open their box first. Shawn won so that meant that Humphrey had to open his box first. Humphrey opened the box to find a letter and beside it another metal box. Humphrey picked up the letter and read it out loud.
Dear Shawn and Humphrey.
Hey guys it's your father here. I've written this letter and prepared this briefcase in the event of my passing. I also knew that if I died, that your mother would leave you. I'm so sorry for sticking with her, it's just that my boss is her father and he would kill me if I divorced her. I decided to give this to you on your graduation day because I thought that you were mature enough to handle this. I love you guys so much and I hope you succeed in life.
Love, Daddy PS: Boys, nice pics of Kate and Jewel on your laptop. Put harder passwords!
The 2 wolves were kind of embarrassed at the fact that their dad had known that they liked girls. Humphrey then took the smaller metal box and opened it. Inside was an even smaller metal box with a note on top of it. It read 'For your entire life'. Humphrey curious about the note opened the box and inside was a cheque for 5 million dollars along with $500.000 worth of cash. "Sweet!" The boys said in unison as they clapped each other's hands softly. "Let's just use it safely" Shawn said as Humphrey nodded his head in agreement. Now it was Shawn's turn to open his box. Inside was a map along with a key attached to it along with another metal box. Shawn opened a map of Jasper that had a huge circle around a road which read '27 Westwood Court'. On the key was a little note saying 'Don't scratch the house'. Shawn knew instantly that the key was the key to their new home. He then turned his attention to the other metal box. As he opened the box he saw some sort of garage opener and a note attached that said 'Use when you are in the house, and have fun'.
Shawn who had no idea, what it did kept it in his pocket. After they had put everything back in the briefcase, the nurse had come in with dinner and told them to take a rest and that tomorrow they would be allowed to exit the hospital.
