Chapter 1:
"Goodbye"
[The story takes place when Humphrey is boarding a train to leave Jasper Park and travel somewhere and find a new place to settle down. After everything has happened in Idaho, everything that he did with Kate, meant nothing to her, because she is getting married. When Humphrey hears that she has to marry Garth, he is devastated and decides to leave Jasper. He doesn't want to stay and watch the one he loves be with that muscle head, Barf, so seeing them together every day would kill him. Humphrey loves Kate and has tried to tell her, but she doesn't listen and it was to late.]
I started walking to the train when I heard footsteps behind me, I turned to look and saw Kate following me. "What do you want?" I said in an angry tone.
"Humphrey, why are you leaving?" she asked with a frown on her face. "Why can't you stay for my the wedding?"
"Because I don't feeling like puking, and because of what you did." I yelled. "What do you mean because of me?" she asked as she started to cry. "Because you broke my heart, you wont listen to me, and you just don't care. And I don't expect you to understand why." I said coldly. "You don't care about what happened in Idaho…we howled together, Kate!…I guess none of that matters to you, does it." I finished.
"Humphrey, why are you acting like this...Your scaring me. And of course I car…"
"I LOVED YOU, Kate! Why cant you understand that… I loved you, but you just..wont..listen!" I yelled. As soon as I said that, Kate lifted her paw and slapped me across the face, leaving three huge cuts in my face. Kate stood there motionless and started crying. I stared at her with shock at what she just did, and turned around and started running towards the train. Kate stood there crying.
"I'm sorry Humphrey." Kate whispered. I stood there at the tracks and waited for the train to come. I heard the train coming and prepared to jump. I saw an open train car and got in position and jumped.
As I jump onto the train, I sat down and looked at the place I once lived, where my friends and family are, I couldn't help but cry a little as I laid down looking out the train door and fell asleep.
Meanwhile…
Back in Jasper… Kate and Garth were starting there wedding. After a few minutes, they were on the last step of the wedding procedure and as Kate started moving closer to kiss Garth, she opened her eyes and moved her head back so they wouldn't kiss, then Garth opened his eyes. "Kate, what are you doing?" Garth asked.
"I…can't," Kate said. "I'm sorry…but I can't marry you. I'm in love with someone else." She said. She turned to look at her father, Winston, who nodded, for he knew why she didn't want to. Winston told Tony why she couldn't and Garth admitted to his father that he was in love with Lilly and wanted to be with her. Tony agreed and let Garth and Lilly get married so they could unite the packs. Kate told her parents that she was going to look for Humphrey and her parents told her she could. So she went to the train tracks to find Humphrey's scent and follow it. After a few minutes of sniffing the tracks, she found it and followed the tracks to find me.
.
Back at the train, I awoke to the sound of the train wheels riding over the tracks making a screeching sound. It was night out, so I must have been sleeping half the night. I stood up and looked out the train door and watched the passing trees and mountains. I decided I would get off and find a place to stay for the night, so I jumped and started looking around the forest to and maybe find out were I am. As I walked around, I looked at my surroundings to find a fallen tree or cave or something to sleep on, but when I turned around, I saw a dark figure, that looked like another wolf, so I crouched behind a bush and waited for the person to leave. I waited for a minutes and got up and saw that he was gone, so I stood up, but as soon as I did, I felt someone turn me around and punched me in the face, knocking me out unconscious. I woke up a few minutes later with a big headache. I looked around and found that I was in someone's den. It was dark, so I got up and looked around. "Hello, is anyone there?" I asked out loud to see if someone answered.
"What were you doing following me?" a male voice with a weird accent asked in the back dark corner of the den.
"Who's there? who are you?" I asked with anger and confusion in my voice. "And were am I?"
"You are in Toronto, Canada. And your in my den" he said.
"Who are you?" I asked again and before the voice spoke again, a male wolf walked out from the dark corner. He had black fur all over his body and red fur on his muzzle and front left paw, he had blue-ish green eyes, and he had a scar going from above his left eye all the way down to his nose. "My name is Blaze." he said as he sat in front of me.
"I'm Humphrey, and why am I in your den?" I asked.
"Well… I knocked you out unconscious cause I thought you were trying to attack me." Blaze said.
"No…I was only trying to find a place to sleep. I'm not from around here, so I don't… wait… were did you say I am?" I asked, wondering if I am were I think I am.
"You my friend, are in Toronto, Canada. Why, have you heard of this place?" he asked with confused look.
"Ya…this is were I was born." I said. I told Blaze about how I used to live here in Toronto. I told him about Japer Park and my adventure in Idaho, and I told him about Kate, and why I left Jasper.
"Wow Humphrey…I'm sorry to hear that." he said, then we were silent.
"Well, I better go, I still got to find a place to sleep for the night." I told him as I stood up to leave. "Well you can stay here for the night, it's the least I can do for knocking you out." Blaze said and we both started laughing.
"Well ok, thanks Blaze." I said. "Tomorrow, If you want, I can help you find a place to stay." Blaze said.
"Ok"
"Da, but I should tell you the rules about living out here." he explained to me about the territories each wolf has, and that there are only 3 wolves living out here, one to East, one to the West (which is Blaze), and one to the North. "No one lives in the Southern territory, so you'll have that one will be yours." Blaze told me. "And lastly, you can't trespass on anyone's territory…except mine. because well, to be honest, I consider you my friend, and it does get a little lonely out here." Blaze said with a smile.
"Well thanks Blaze, and me too." I smiled back. I've just met a person with a really weird accent, and I still don't know what he's speaking, who knocked me unconscious, brings me back to his den, then is nice to me and decides to help me by letting me stay with him for the night and is going to help me find a new home. "This must be my lucky day." I thought. We both laid in the den and talked for a while. I told him what Jasper was like, and about my friends and Kate. "So why are you a lone wolf?" I asked.
"It's a long story." he said. "Well I got nothing but time." I replied and he started laughing. "I guess your right." he said. He started to tell me about were he came from, I asked him what his accent was and he told me he was 'Russian' or something. I thought it was a weird name and still couldn't understand what he said sometimes and he would laugh at my confusion. Then he told me that he used to be an Alpha SPEZNAT, the top and highest ranking in the pack, back in his old pack and that he was son of the pack leader, Untihel, who was leader of the Southern pack. Blaze told me his father banished him because he attacked his father's personal assistant, Ivan. "Ivan is a traitor to my father's pack. He was secretly giving information about our Alpha squad rotations and our SPEZNAT teams rotations and guard posting shifts. I went to tell my father…but he wouldn't believe me. Then one day I was in the feeding grounds and I saw Ivan walking into the woods alone, so I decided to follow him. I followed him to were he apparently met with a high ranking Alpha from the North to give Intel. When they were done, I followed him back to the main grounds, but before we got there I jumped him in an attempt to make him tell my father the truth. We fought, but my father found us fighting and ended it. I told him what I saw and Ivan disagreed, of course, but my father still wouldn't believe me." Blaze sighed, then continued. "And instead of a punishment, he banished me and told me I could never return." he finished with sadness and anger on his face.
"I'm sorry to hear that Blaze, I cant believe your own father wouldn't believe you." I said. "But I know how you feel. Nobody wants to listen to what I have say…especially Kate." I growled. We sat in silence for a moment, then Blaze broke the silence with a yawn.
"Well it's getting late, I'm gonna get some sleep. Goodnight." Blaze said before he walked back inside and laid down to sleep. "Goodnight" I said back as I laid by the entrance to sleep. I started to think about Kate and what she's probably doing now that she's married to Garth. I started to cry a little, but not loud enough to were Blaze could hear me. We laid there in silence for a while before Blaze spoke up again. "Hey Humphrey." he said as he looked at me.
"Yea Blaze." I answered.
"You loved her…didn't you?" Blaze asked, I assume he asked cause he probably herd me crying.
I looked over at Blaze and stared at him for a second with a frown, then looked back at the night sky. "With all my heart." I told him. I laid my head down and drifted off into a deep sleep.
