"Humphery, do you really think that the Northern Pack will accept our pack's peace treaty?" Hutch asked nervously. It had been ten minutes since he and Humphery left the meeting with the North pack head Alpha. To negotiate the new boundary of the two pack's teritory. And he had a bad feeling that somthing wasn't quiet right with how the meeting went.
"I don't think there pack is stupid enough to refuse." Humphery replied confidently,"I mean, the united Eastern and Western pack is almost twice the size of there pack. And there is still suposed to be two or three major heards of Caribou in the north anyway."
"That maybe true but the Nothern pack is manly alphas. So we may outnumber them in total wolves but in the case of number of alphas they may be evenwith us." Hutch replied."And don't you think it's wierd to just end the negotiation without an agreement being made?"
"Hutch, come on man you always get like this after a negotiation with an other pack. Every thing will be just fine. I honestly couldn't think of one reason why they wouldn't accept. Hey, if it will make you feel better we can make our way to the river to make anyone tracking us lose our scent." Humphery replied. Starting to get annoyed at the way his second in-command was acting.
"That sounds good to me."Hutch nodded in agreement. Then he and Humphery turned off the game trail they were on and started making there way to the river. But Hutch just couldn't shake the feeling in his gut that they were being followed. Hutch stuck his nose in the air to see if he could smell the sent of any wolf that might be following them. But could only smell the sweet smell of pine trees and midspring breeze. He then closed his eyes and listened intently to see if he could hear another wolf making it's way through the same underbrush he and Humphery were treking through. Humphery turned and looked at Hutch and saw that he was intensly listening for any signs that they were being followed. Humphery immediatly saw an opertunity to scare the crap out of Hutch. Humphery quickly dived into a bush to his left. Hutch was shaken out of his self-indueced trace by the ruffling of bushes to his left. He then realized Humphery had disappeared."Humphery!" Hutch yelled while franticly swinging his head back and forth searching for the missing Head alpha. Humphery chuckled lightly to himslf as he saw his friend go into panic mode. Humphery tensed his muscles and waited for Hutch to turn his head away from his hiding spot. Hutch thought he heard something to his right as he shifted around he exposed his side to Humphery, who quickly sezied the opertunity."RAWWRRR!" Humphery yelled as he lept through the air towards Hutch. But being as highly trained as he was Hutch saw the attack out of the corner of his eye, he side-stept and mule kicked the unknown wolf in the side, sinding him sprawling to the ground. Hutch then faced his attacker and reliezed it was Humphery.
"Geez Humphery. How many times are you going to try and jump me like that? You know one of these days I might just bite your throat and kill you before I realize it was just a prank." Hutch said. As Humphery picked him self up of the ground rubbing his side.
"Geez Hutch. How many times are you going to fall for me disapearing?" Humphery said in a mocking tone."Humphery you may be an alpha on the out-side but on the in-side your still an omega."Hutch replied chuckling."Guilty as charged."Humphery joked back. Hutch chuckled."Hey I think I hear the river up ahead. Let's go!" Hutch exclaimed picking up his pace. The river was in the middle of a large clearing srounded on both sides by towering pine trees. When they both made it to the river they stuck their maws into the river and savored the crisp cold water of the river.
"Man I love the way the water tastes this time of year." Humphery exclaimed as he lefted his head out of the water. Hutch nodded in agreement."Hutch isn't this the river that runs along the eastern boundary of Jasper?" Humphery asked. Hutch looked at the river and then surveyed the area for any landmarks that would explain where they were."Well from what I can tell it is."Hutch replied."Why?" "Hutch come on you've got to see this."Humpery said, as he raced of down the river bank. Completly oblivious to the fresh wolf tracks and slightly disturbed brush on both edges of the clearing. As Hutch chased after Humphery he noticed the paw prints littering the ground.
And the bad feeling in his stomach returned. Hutch doubled his pace to warn Humphery of the impending danger. As he rounded the corner he saw Humphery sitting by the edge of a cliff where the river turned into a waterfall."Humphery we don't have time for are other wolves around here we have to go."Hutch warned.
"Your not going anywhere." replied a stern voice behind them. Hutch and Humphery both turned around in time to see three dark grey and black wolves of the northern pack emerge from the brush."What are you doing here?" Hutch replied sternly but calmly."We are here because we aren't about to give up some of our territory to a bunch of Eastern dogs." said the larger of the three wolves."Hey! Our pack is twice the size it used to be so we need the extra land!"Humphery shouted back."And anyway there is still plenty of prim hunting ground in the North. So what makes our territory so special?" The three wolves looked at each other, and the wolf in the middle gave Humphery a evil grin."You just don't get it do you? We dont want your territory for the hunting ground." The wolf said "We want it because you have it!" And on cue five more wolves emerged from the brush to there left. "Ok so what do you want with us?" Humphery asked trying to figure out what these wolves' intentions are." What do we want?" the first wolf mocked as some of the other wolves lightly chuckled to them selves." Your lives. We were thinking about taking them." As he said that the other wolves started closing in on them in a tight semi-circle. Trapping them with there backs to the cliff and the raging waterfall to there left."Humphery on the count of three I am going to draw there attention while you make a run for it."Hutch wispered to Humphery." No Hutch. I'm not going to let you die trying to protect me like that. We will fight them together." Humphery whispered back."No there is to many of them, we will not last five minutes in a fight."Hutch said back."Then we will jump into the river and go over the waterfall there is a deep pool at the bottom so the fall shouldn't kill us." Humphery replied." Are you crazy?" Hutch asked Humphery. seriously doubting that plain would work."Enough talk. ATTACK!" yelled one of the enemy wolves. Then all the enemy wolves swarmed the two alphas. Humphery quickly grabbed Hutch by his skruff and threw him and himself into the river. As soon as they entered the river the raging current swept them over the edge and down into the pool below.
