What would I Have To Do To Love You…
TO ALL OF YOU WHO READ THIS ALREADY: JUST A GRAMMAR UPDATE AND A BIT MORE EXPLAINING ON MY PART. Alright guys, I did a minor grammar update since I found a few errors myself. I'm coming up with a good story to try and build off of this one-shot. Its all up to you so please let me know if I should go on with this story. READ BOTTOM TOO.
It was a calm and peaceful sunny day. Birds chirped songs all day long and animals bustled about as the day started its daylight hours. Jasper Park was a home to many, but the most interesting home of all was the pack of wolves in the vicinity. They never bothered humans much and tended to hunting as any carnivorous animal would, and summer was well on the way.
Humphrey, a once happy and very charismatic omega, was depressed and sad. He was obviously still trying to get over Kate, whom he loved…or still loves…or maybe even can't love. However Humphrey attempted to interpret it, it was still the fact that he loved her and simply can't live with himself if something happened to her. Humphrey was in his small cave-like overhang that he still considered a den. He wanted to shed a tear but couldn't. then he heard a stick snap. His ears shifted to locate the startling noise to find it was his friends. Salty, Shakey and Mooch had been over frequently since that day to try and cheer him up but that never happened.
"Humphrey?…Shakey spoke up.
Humphrey just looked at them then away. Then he looked at them again.
"Hey guys… what are you doing here?"
"We were just trying to send you word that lunch was hunted" Salty spoke.
"You know cause its good for you to eat…"
"I'm not hungry…"
"Well that doesn't matter…Cause…WOLFPILE!" Mooch surprised.
Humphrey smiled in slow motion as he saw all of them laugh and jump on him. They all clumped into a makeshift ball and were blurting out laughing as the four best friends plopped allover the place in a pile. Salty, Shakey and Mooch stopped when they heard Humphrey's familiar happy, joke-strewn laughing. It brought memories back.
"Hey you sure you don't want to eat?"
"Yeah…well you know what I will join you guys after a while ok?"
"Alright then we will see you there!" they called out as they left.
Humphrey smiled to himself. He can't forget his friends, or else there would be nothing left for him. That would probably make him want to-
"Humphrey? My cousin, Winston want to see you." Hutch called and walked from the woods.
"Huh? What?"
"You heard me, you better go up there cause I think its important."
"Alright, hey I heard food was here should I -"
"Go to our pack leader first, he told me to make sure of that too"
"…ok…" Humphrey walked from his den and Hutch went with him.
"Do you have any idea why?" Humphrey then asked
"I was instructed to not tell you however, cousin, you might like it."
There was a stroke of hope in Humphrey's eyes and mind for a second. Was it possible? Kate?…He pushed the thought from his head and forced himself to believe it was something else, what would that possibly be though? A flash image of Kate exploded into Humphrey's head for a second and disappeared. His vision returned and he realized that he could see her families den already. He looked off to his right and saw that everyone was gathered for today's catch. Most of them he recognized but didn't personally know.
"I will see you later cousin.." Hutch left for his take on the meal.
Humphrey continued to move towards the leaders' den. The scene was beautiful. On the path up a small and slightly steep hill, Humphrey could see the entire valley. The area below was a basin like valley where everyone was eating. Pine trees and a mass wilderness environment surrounded the area. There was a large path leading from this basin to a large, long gone river chasm that formed long ago. Humphrey made his way up the path and there was another flat plateau like area. As he walked up he looked up and saw a log the provided a bridge for the rocky cliffs that over watched the entire area. He knew where the den was already, he walked a sharp right and up towards the cliffs.
He could see the cave already. As he walked up to it he looked away and used his paw to knock a permission message. When he did so he heard the deep king-like voice of Winston acknowledge for him to enter.
"Come in." The pack leader Winston told
Doing as he asked, Humphrey stepped into the den.
"You asked for me? Sir?" Humphrey realized the much needed respect for Winston.
"Yes…I'm to ask something of you, important you see."
Humphrey looked behind him to see Kate eating some of the families own caribou. Eve looked up and eyed him suspiciously, and Lilly wasn't eating. Kate looked up.
"Ehem…why don't we go for a walk."
Humphrey snapped out of it and followed him out. He dared to not look back. When they stepped outside they spoke once more.
"Listen Humphrey…" Winston spoke and looked over the valley from the cliff.
"I know you have been suffering…for my daughter…"
Humphrey stood straight and listened to Winston.
"And I know you…well do I have to tell you?"
"No sir…you're…right…" Humphrey tensed.
" Well?…"
At that moment Humphrey could not speak. He froze. Either he was in trouble or he was in deep trouble. He was trying to make a sentenced when-
"I'm going get you trained to be a Beta."
"Sir?"
"Listen Humphrey, you don't need to worry…your secret is safe… I have seen it since she was a pup, you have done nothing but care about her by making her laugh and keeping her happy, then she gets married…I know it was like a nail to the heart but its pack law… but the best I can do for you is to get you trained as a Beta, then you can see her more…"
Humphrey stuttered…this confirmed no chance of being able to tell her…he would only fall in love over again and his heart would be shattered forever. He wouldn't be able to live if he got closer…it would only drive him farther from her than ever…
"…I'm sorry but I can't accept your offer…"
"Hmm…"
"I'm leaving the pack tomorrow. I know what your trying to do to help but I cant… it will only make me miss her more. I thank you though. She has been my drive to stay here and be the fun-loving Omega but she love someone else now, I wanted her to be happy, and it seems to me she is without me, my job here is done…"
"Humphrey listen-"
"No sir…I just can't anymore…it hurts to look at her."
Then Humphrey realized that he should leave due to the growing disturbance but decided he would leave today…why not cut losses and tell the truth. Humphrey sprinted and glanced off of Winston. He ran into the den and looked at Kate in her eyes. He stopped. Those eyes…golden and full of fire and energy…he spoke in front of the whole family.
"Kate…I have wanted to tell you ever since I knew you existed…I Love You…"
She blushed and looked away, smiling. Lilly giggled. Eve snarled. Kate looked at him into his eyes and she gasped, believing him.
"What did you say to my daughter?" Eve growled
"Technically you have two, so why don't you just call her by her name, and Yeah you heard me, I LOVE YOU KATE, nothing stops that from being true!"
" Humphrey… I-"
"I'm going to rip out your jugular and eat your-"
Humphrey rushed to Kate and arched his head around her neck- the wolf way of hugging and as he pulled away their noses rubbed and touched. Kate was shocked by the lightning fast surprise but…enjoyed it…
Eve was frozen in anger. Humphrey looked at her then to Kate and sprinted out of the den, as he did so Winston looked at him and spoke
"I'm proud of you but I hope you can run fast"
Humphrey Sprinted down the hill/path and looked behind him. Eve was growling after him and was catching up fast, Humphrey spotted the crowd by the caribou and jumped through them, as he glanced through wolves alike, he could tell he was slowing Eve down. Cause he could hear her running into other wolves in pursuit. He continued to sprint and saw the river chasm and made a run for it. Eve was still gaining on him. There was a split moment where he thought about fighting or jumping as he made his way towards the drop offs of the no longer flowing river and decided it would be suicide to attempt a fight with the pack leaders wife. Eve was practically eating Humphrey's tail. THIS IS GONNA BE CLOSE! the drop off started and he jumped.
Humphrey was flying for about four seconds and braced for the ground, when he landed he tucked and rolled to absorb impact, he learned to do this from constantly forgetting to hold on to a sled of bark and falling to a close death. However when he got up to look around for Eve. This is when he saw her sprinting at him ten feet away. He attempted to sidestep her but failed, the result was her face smashing into his side causing immense pain and perhaps a broken rib. He crumpled side ways and she jumped on him and she asked him once more.
"What did you say to Kate, my married daughter?" Eve Growled
"That I love her, with every amount of happiness, lust, and brainpower I have!"
Eve smashed her face into his front left arm, and only then did he realize that she was ripping and tearing and eating. He screamed in ultimate pain as he felt his side being consumed by one of his own species. Eve didn't stop. Her muzzle was digging deeper as she used her teeth to shred through Humphrey's flesh. Humphrey could not move. He was in so much pain he couldn't scream or move. A crowd formed around the losing fight, somewhere he heard Kate.
"MOM STOP!"
There was a push on one side of Humphrey and Eve was not stopping at all. Her face was covered in blood and blood itself was everywhere. At this moment, Humphrey stopped. His vision blurred as he began to bleed out. His eyes didn't blink and he was looking up and not shifting at all. He couldn't feel anything now… it was going red In his vision then something happened that he never experienced before. He blinked and was seeing thousands if not millions of images of Kate including memories. Then…hatred.
Humphrey felt a spike of hatred, rage, and purified anger. My road. My lonesome road… my road to the divide… can't end…like this…somebody…tell me… what do I have to do… somebody screamed in the background indicating to everyone that he had died but didn't. out of the corner of his eye, Humphrey could see Kate trying to cry. Then a spark flickered…he didn't feel anything except rage. Rage…and even more rage. He looked at Eve whose face was almost into his arm and side and push with all might and got her off. As she bounced off the ground she looked up in surprise. Then looked at everyone and everything. The blood. The amount that was on her once golden body shocked everyone and she felt like it was that worst most gruesome thing to do to someone for the simple reason that they had acquired a love for Kate…since childhood
At this moment Humphrey stood up on all fours un affected by his arm it seemed. He charged for Eve who attempted to sidestep it, she was successful but had not expected him to juke back around and jump on her. She became pinned. Humphrey, not himself anymore as it seems. Used his paw and smashed, thrashed and clawed until he felt too weak. He got up, leaving the wounded Eve and struggled toward Kate who was amazed but mournful of the two that were involved in the fight, there was blood everywhere and still coming from Humphrey. She realized the situation and rushed to him. He crumpled over as she did so and tried to speak.
"Oh my God! Humphrey!?"
"…Kate…Why?"
"Don't speak, your gonna be fine" Kate looked up to the spectating crowd.
"Somebody help me with this!" Kate yelled. No one did anything.
"Please!"
"Kate, what was… you said to meh…me?" Humphrey coughed.
"No…you can't die, please! I love you too!" She took his paw and held it.
"I figured… that…" Humphrey clenched his eyes closed in pain and looked up
Kate was looking at him in tears. Those eyes. Such torture they use to be…
"Find….Revelation 21:6….yeh…need to…read it…my….den" Humphrey clenched in pain once more the raised his head to Kate
He pushed enough to where they kissed on last time, then Kate felt his paw feel limp…she looked at him, he was still looking at her.
"My lonesome road of happiness…joy, and…laughter ends…nowwwwwww….."
"No….Please no…" There was nothing she could do. She closed his eyes…and cried.
She howled the recognizable tone the defined death…
Three Years Later…
On a hill a tall proud Alpha knowned as Kate stood looking at the ground. She was looking at a burial. On it she read every month the revelation on the piece of paper she found in the den those years ago:
Revelation 21:6
I am Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life, freely.
She shed a single tear, and left the park, to travel her lonesome road to the divide.
