A Final Goodbye
I wrote a story in my English class and it seemed really good. My teacher liked it and she said that I should write stories about anything that was on my mind. I took her advice and this is one of my stories that I wrote. This is about losing someone you love. Please Review, it shows me that people care and that they have opinions on my writing. I don't want anyone to feel sorry, but if you do, thank you. I changed my story so it would fit in this category so it will be slightly differently than the original I wrote. This takes place at the end of the movie, after the stampede, if Kate didn't get a chance to admit her love for Humphrey. Please enjoy.
Humphrey just saved Kate, Winston, and Tony from the stampede of caribou and Kate was hit in the head. Humphrey jumped over her, shielding her from the hooves of the caribou with his body. After the dust cleared, Humphrey moved away from Kate's body and watched as she slowly stood up. Humphrey felt dizzy and stood up to walk, but fell to the ground unconscious.
Winston ran over to his daughter and looked over her to see if she was alright.
"I-I'm alright. What happened?" Kate asked, rubbing her head.
"You were hit in the head and fell unconscious." Winston's eyes grew wide when he realized that Humphrey shielded her.
"Humphrey!" Winston shouted as he turned to see Humphrey on the ground, bleeding from his cuts and from his ears.
"No, no, no! Eve! We need to help Humphrey!" Winston shouted as he lifted Humphrey's limp body on his shoulders and took off to his den. Eve was right behind him along with both the Eastern and Western Pack.
Winston ran into his den and placed Humphrey on the ground. Eve ran in with leaves and some medicine herbs. Eve instantly began to work on Humphrey, trying to save his life. Kate walked into the den and sat down with a confused look on her face.
"What's wrong with him? Is he going to be alright?" Kate asked. Eve ignored her daughter and began to place the herbs on Humphrey's cuts. When Eve was finished she stepped away with a sad look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Kate asked. Eve looked at Kate and walked past her. Kate stared at Humphrey, cuts and dried blood over his face, coming from his ears.
"Winston, Humphrey's in a coma." Eve said in a sad tone. Kate heard the conversation between her parents and tears started to pour down her face. Winston walked in the den and sat next to his daughter and Humphrey.
"Kate, is he the one you love?" Winston asked. Kate wiped her tears away and looked at her father.
"Y-yes, I love him. But now he's in a coma and he will never know that." Kate said as new tears came down her face. Winston hugged his daughter and looked at Humphrey.
"Thank you, Humphrey. For what you did for my daughter." Winston said as he hugged his daughter tighter, tears now slowly making their way down his cheeks.
"I… love… you." A raspy voice answered in the silence. Winston and Kate looked around and saw that no one was in the den but them.
"Kate." The raspy came again. Winston and Kate looked at Humphrey and saw that his mouth was open.
"Humphrey?" Kate asked as she wiped her tears away. Humphrey didn't respond, but just laid their on the ground, breathing slowly.
"Dad, did you hear that?" Kate asked. Winston nodded and pulled Kate outside.
"Kate, Humphrey is in a coma. That means he could come back at any time. Hopefully he would come back to us soon." Winston explained. Kate nodded and walked back in the den.
"Kate, honey. Are you in here?" Eve called out.
"Yeah. I'm with Humphrey." Kate responded. Eve walked next to her daughter and sighed.
"I don't know how long he will be in the coma, but he will need food and water while he's out." Eve told Kate. Kate nodded and watched as her lover is in a coma.
2 Weeks Later
Kate has been taking care of Humphrey for 2 weeks since he's been in a coma. Kate has been thinking that he will never come back, making her lose hope. But, every time she would think that, she would remember what he said the first day.
"I… love… you."
"I love you too." Kate said to herself.
2 More Weeks
Humphrey still hasn't come back and Kate started to get the feeling that Humphrey was gone. Kate would occasionally cry to sleep with Humphrey next to her. One day Kate woke up to find out that Humphrey was gone.
Kate started to get excited, that he was finally awake and ran out of the den to see where Humphrey was at. Kate looked around, but couldn't see him. Kate sniffed the air trying to get a scent and found one. Kate was building with excitement and followed the scent.
Kate followed the scent to a river, but lost it. Kate looked around and saw movement off in the distance. Kate ran towards the movement and jumped out. What Kate saw made her want to cry. The Western Pack was getting ready for Humphrey's burial. Kate saw her dad sitting next to a small hole, and walked over.
"This is it? This is where it ends?" Kate asked as she sat next to her dad. Winston nodded and looked at his daughter.
"His burial will be tomorrow. I'm sorry Kate. This morning he was cold. He must have been dead that night. I'm sorry." Winston said in a sorrow voice. Kate scanned the area and saw Humphrey's body next to the hole.
Kate started to tear up and walked towards his body. Kate sat next to his body and hugged it. His body was cold, almost freezing. Kate didn't want to let go but she had to. Kate sat up and looked at her first love.
"I love you, and will miss you. But we will be together." Kate said as she walked away. The day turned into night and the pack was home, sleeping early for the burial tomorrow. Kate woke up early in her parents den and began to cry silently.
Kate walked out of the den and sat at the edge. The moon was shining, leaving a silver glow across the valley.
"I love you." Kate said to herself as she began to cry. Kate has been crying for about 10 min. before she stopped and saw that the dirt beneath her was now mud. Kate looked at her mom and dad sleeping in the den peacefully and looked at the ground.
Kate was at the edge for about 5 min. before she walked down and headed towards where Humphrey was being buried. Kate reached the burial and saw that Humphrey's body started to decay. Kate walked towards his body and lied next to it, crying.
"I love you. I want you here with me, but I'll see you soon. I promise." Kate said as she kissed his cold lips. Kate got up and walked towards the valley where Humphrey shielded her. Kate sat in the middle of the valley and looked up at the moon.
Kate inhaled and exhaled slowly, calming herself. Kate breathed in and gave a loud bark. The bark shattered the quiet night, alerting the caribou at the top of the valley. Soon the caribou started to jump, and then finally gallop down the valley, towards Kate.
Kate smiled as the caribou got closer and closer to her.
"I love you all, see you soon Humphrey."
Oooo! What's going to happen? Come back later and find out. PLEASE REVIEW
