Hey guys! Here's a new story for you. Don't worry, I haven't abandoned my first story, I'm just a little stuck at the moment. Anyway, enjoy this one!
Humphrey POV
Hi. I'm Humphrey. I'm a wolf pup. I'm a week and a half old, I have mostly gray fur with a white underbelly, and my eyes are blue. Mom says that they might change color when I get older, but I hope they don't. I like my blue eyes. I live here with my dad, Mathew, and my mom, Jasmine. We live in a pack called Banff. Or at least I think it's called Banff. That's fun to say, Banff. Hehe. Anyway, mom has light reddish fur, all except her belly, which is white, and the tips of her ears, which are silver. My dad has completely black fur except for the two lightning bolts on the sides of his body and the little white streak running down his muzzle, and his eyes are yellow. They're both alphas, and I'm supposed to be an alpha when I grow up. I'm not so sure I want to be an alpha, though. I like to be able to play and not have to worry about protecting a pack or hunting. Like now, I'm sitting in my favorite place in the whole world. It's a small little cave next to our den. The opening is to small for mom or dad to get into it, but I fit just fine. I love to play in here. Once you get past the opening there's a lot of room in here. I come here to play, to think, and even to sleep sometimes if mom lets me.
"Humphrey, time for dinner!" Mom called to me.
"Coming mom." I replied as I left my little cave.
Mmm, that smells delicious. I love the smell of caribou. It's my favorite, and mom brought a whole bunch of it for us to eat. "I hope your hungry." She said as I came to the mouth of the den. Dad and mom were already sitting near where we always eat, waiting for me.
"Well, now that we're all here" he started. We knew what to do. We bowed our heads as dad said grace, then we dug in to our feast of caribou. After dinner, I asked mom if I could sleep in my cave.
"Oh please mom, can I sleep in my cave tonight?" I pleaded.
"Well, alright Humphrey, you can sleep in your cave. But make sure that if you get cold to come back into the den."
"Thanks mom." I said before giving her a big kiss on the cheek, then I darted outside. It wasn't quite dark yet, so I decided to stay out and watch the sunset. I've only seen it once before, and I thought it was the prettiest thing I ever saw. So, for the next half hour I sat and watched the glowing orange ball slowly pass below the horizon. Tonight's was even prettier than last time. The setting sun made all of the nearby clouds look pink, and the rest looked like a metallic silver. It was quite a sight.
After the sun had set, I went to my cave to go to sleep. As I walked toward my little spot, I noticed the moon was bigger and brighter than I had ever seen it before. Dad had said that it would be this way tonight. He called it a full moon. It sure was pretty. After staring at the moon for fifteen minutes I once again began making my way toward my cave.
I actually made it this time, and so I found a soft spot and curled up for the night.
Just as I started to nod off, I heard some one whispering. "Hey Humphrey. You in there?" The voice said. I was frightened by this, so I curled myself up tighter. Then something started tapping my head. Just as I was about to scream, the voice said "Oh good, you are out here." This time I recognized the voice.
"Oh, Josh, it's just you. You scared me." I said as I realized who it was.
"Cmon, let's go before we wake your parents up." He said in a tone barely above a whisper. He drug me out of my cave, then pointed. "This way." He said and we started walking.
Josh is my best friend. He has all white fur with blue eyes. His parents are alphas too, but like me he doesn't want to be an alpha. He'd rather keep playing like this all his life. We're always getting into mischief together. That's why we're best friends.
"Josh, where are we going?" I asked him as we walked into the darkness.
"I'm not really sure yet, but there's got to be something to do tonight." He said as we kept walking. We walked until we came to a den that was full of she-wolves. They were all our age and seemed to be having a good time, as they were all giggling. This must have been the sleepover we had heard about. "Hey, I know, let's go talk to them." Josh whispered to me as we neared the den.
"What? No! I have a better idea." I said as I started digging into the soft dirt.
"What are you looking for?" Josh asked apparently completely confused.
"These." I said as I brought a dirty paw to his face. I slowly opened it to reveal some slimy, wriggling worms. He started to laugh maliciously. "Are you thinking' what I'm thinking?" I asked him. He started digging in response.
After we had acquired about fifteen worms, we slowly started toward the den filled with girls. We crept up slowly as not to alert them to our presence. When we reached the mouth of the den undetected, we looked at each other and gave a nod. Then began the hail of worms. Instantly the girls started screaming at the sight of the worms as they came raining down, most landing on top of the girls. After a few seconds the scream were so ear piercingly loud that it was unbearable, and we had to retreat. As we left we were laughing our heads off.
"That was great!" Josh said between laughs.
"Much better than talking to them!" I mocked his idea.
"Definitely!" He agreed. We couldn't stop laughing. Even after the girls quit screaming we were still going. It wasn't until Josh's dad came out that the fun ended. But as soon as he spoke our laughter ceased and our joy turned to fear.
"What's going on out here." His voice boomed.
"Uh, well, we were, um, we were just..." I sputtered.
"Just picking on the girls?" He finished for me.
"Yes sir." I said as I lowered my head.
"Josh, get into the den." He said angrily. "And as for you Humphrey, you better hope your parents don't hear of this. Now go back to your den."
"Yes sir." I said quietly as I started back home. When I reached our den I slipped into my little cave and laid back down. I couldn't help but worry for Josh. "Ah, he'll be alright." I told myself after awhile then finally nodded off to sleep.
