Kate's POV
We approached the creature slowly, me and a large group of alphas. It was unconscious lying on the ground in a large clearing in the forest, not making a single sound. We all thought it was dead, it wasn't breathing. It wasn't moving a single muscle. I took a good gander and tilted my head curiously to the side, taking in the enormous creatures physical features. I have to say it looked taller than a bear but was slender than one. It's fur was grey and black with a light grey under belly. It looked like a gigantic wolf with long ears and a really long bushy tail that made anyone who looked at it want to play with it. It was like four times the size of me at least. Strangely it looked similar to him. Bur he's been gone for two and a half years. I still mourn the fact that I couldn't say I loved him and still hope that he'll come back.
I then noticed that the creature had hands instead of paws on his forearms.
I started to slowly walk closer to it. "Kate don't, we're not sure if it's its dead or not." Winston said before continuing "It could be dangerous."
I took the warning and continued to move close but at a slower rate than before. But I became motionless as the creature took a deep breath, probably to regain it's breath because it wasn't breathing before. It roll over slightly before opening its eyes.
I gasped at the sight, the usual whites of the eyes were a dark grey and the iris were icy blue, it sent chills down my spine. He looked around before lifting his head and smiled
Confused and frightened, I mustered up the courage to speak. "H-hello"
"What...Yes, Yes!" He proceeded to roll on his back and start laughing and cheering quietly to himself, I was confused to say the least. "I made it, I made it back" He finished before his smile turned to a frown.
He stood up making us all socked because instead of standing on all fours he got up on his hind legs. And franticly looked around. "LANDIE" he yelled. "Why are you standing like that?" I asked, He looked at me a chuckled. "This is how my species always walks, its normal to us." He answered. I was still confused nonetheless but I nodded indicating that it was a somewhat satisfactory answer. Needless to say I was still scared.
He started sniffing the air and rotating his long ears in different orientations till they stopped and he turned his head with a look of shock on his face. It was difficult to see his face because he stood four meters high at least maybe more but before I could ask anything, he took off sprinting and came to the edge of the clearing and leaped over the other alpha wolves who were preparing to stop him. I was a little freaked out but we all ran after him.
By the time we got there, we were al panting but he was trying to pry open some sort of metal pod. But to no avail. No, No why wont you open!" He slammed his hand down in anger before quickly moving to a panel on the side of the pod. This whole pod looks like a piece of debris that fell from the meteorite that came down a few minutes earlier. I was now sacred confused and alarmed by all the events that have happened recently.
He moved the panel aside to revel a device shaped similar to an L. He pulled it out and pressed a button on the side before pointing it at the lock that sealed the pod. The device hummed which grew increasingly louder before making a beeping sound, but before I could query on what he was doing he pulled down on some sort of trigger causing a bolt of blue light to shot out and impact the hull of the pod and blowing the lock right off. He threw the device down and ran over lifting a hatch and reached inside. I tried to see what it was he was collecting but it was too dark and I was at the wrong angle. He lifted something large out. I gasped at what it was.
He lifted out one of his own kind out but it was female and had blue fur instead of grey and a stark-white underbelly. He slowly laid her down. She had a long mane like mine but it was dark blue, she was beautiful. I was actually a bit jealous.
"Please no! No, No, No!" He pleaded "Please wake up." He pressed one of his ears up against her chest "OK she has a heart beat and she's breathing no only if I could...what."
He lifted his hand and examined it. It was covered in blood. He gasped before turning to me.
"Do you still have a healers den?" he questioned. 'Still' I thought, I nodded "buts it's in a different location, we recently moved it to accommodate the larger pack size." The packs had united but under Garth's and Lilly's marriage
He then picked me up like I was nothing. I yelped but not in pain but fright because it caught me completely off guard.
"Lead me to it" he said in a now panicky grunt as he lifted the female on to his shoulder. I could now see a large cut going down his side and onto her back. He sprinted towards the den cluster while I lead him to the new healers den.
He was moving quickly, even though he was carrying me and the female. We arrived at the den and he put me down. He had to crouch to get in. Eve came rushing out from the back and saw me and the creature, she instantly went into protective-mother mode but before she could even touch him, he grabbed her and held her making sure that he didn't hurt her and she couldn't hurt him.
"Eve please help my mate" he pleaded. She looked over at me and said "How does he know my name" I shrugged and my mother cantered up to the female who was now lying in the middle of the den. I know that these two creatures were mates with one another. I noticed the male had a look of worry and panic on his face.
The male sat down and I notice tears forming in his eyes. I cantered up to him frightened but I thought to comfort him "Hey, its OK she'll be fine. I said in a desperate attempt to comfort him. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes and nodded.
"So do you two have names" I asked curiously about him and his mate. I was also looking to break the metaphorical barrier between our species.
She's Landie, my mate. You should already know my name" he said before returning his gaze back to the unconscious Landie.
I'm sorry but I do not believe we have ever met so I do not know your name." I said confused but in an accidental annoyed tone. He looked at me with even more sadness in his eyes but before realising something. "Oh yeah I forgot, I now reside in this form don't I, so I probably look a lot different" he said seemingly to himself. I stood there, head cock to the side confused out of my wits.
"It's me Kate" He said on the absolute verge of tears. 'How does he know my name?' I questioned in my head.
"It's me, Humphrey".
