Hey, what's goin' on guys? Darkpelt117 here, and welcome back for another chapter of 'Cast of Sorrows', Originally by RetroApple. Uhmm… I honestly don't have too terribly much to say, except that I'm really sorry it took me so long to upload this. The reason behind it was because the laptop I was using decided that it would throw a temper tantrum, and it wouldn't work properly at all. If that weren't the case, then I would definitely have uploaded this chapter and the next the day after I did the first, so again, I apologize for the HUGE delay.
Um, besides that there's really not a whole lot to say, so let's go ahead and jump right into this!
"Once again, hello Internet! I'm amazed that people like my story, and I'm happy to say, "Here's the second chapter!" But before, I do that, I would like to thank the people who have taken time to read/review my story, and I really appreciate it. Really, thank you so much. I mean, I'm just a 13-year-old boy who has been reading this stuff for a few years, and I never thought I would write it. Then I did, and with low expectations, posted it. Almost 1 hundred words on this AN already! :D. Check out my profile to learn more about me and who I am. Anyway, thank you so much, and enjoy is the second chapter! (Alpha and Omega is property of Lionsgate)"
(Eve's POV – that night)
I was so mad! First the leader of the Omega's, Humphrey, has gone missing, whom I feel a strong bond with because I found him as a pup, roaming the woods, mumbling incoherent sentences about how he watched his parents, friends, and pack be brutally murdered in front of him. Then, about 1 hour later, our top Alpha, Hutch, reported my daughter, youngest and Omega, Lilly, missing. My husband, Winston, immediately put the pieces together(or so he thought), and is now sending out search groups. "Find her, and bring him to me for a little 'talk,' or I'll rip off your wolf hoods, and shove them up your own ***es!" I screamed at the departing groups.
They all stared at me, then quickly turned tail, running away while looking for a scent. I turned around to face Winston, who had a blank stare on his face, his eyes bulging.
"What?" I asked in a menacing tone. He then reacted, bringing me into a hug, saying,
"Don't worry, they will find her." It was then I started to break. Me, the Alpha female of the pack, started to cry. How degrading.
"I know we will," I sobbed. "I'm just so worried! If Humphrey did anything to her, I will-"
"Hey there," he quickly sprang into action this time, hugging harder. "I practically raised Humphrey with you. He is a good, honorable wolf, who would never hurt our daughter." I only sighed, enjoying the warm embrace, and hoping that my husband was right.
(Humphrey's POV – the next morning)
I slowly opened my eyes the next morning, and looked out of the open train car door. It appeared that we had slept in; the sun was at its midpoint in the sky, a time that humans called 'Noon.' As I got up and stretched, I looked over to see Lilly, peacefully sleeping in the corner of the car. It looked as though she had cried herself to sleep; the floor and her fur were stained with tears.
"Wow, she must be even more heart broken with me," I quietly said to myself.
I slowly padded over to her.
"Lilly, get up," I said. That did nothing; guess she is a pretty heavy sleeper. So I nuzzled her neck, honestly enjoying the soft fur.
"Lilly, get up," I whispered again. To my astonishment, she popped right up, panting. Then I noticed the sweat that had enveloped her, and her shivering.
"What's wrong, Lilly," I asked her.
"Dang! It wasn't a dream after all," she muttered after a while, looking down.
Then I figured it out. Her mind and body thought that yesterday was just a dream. I then brought her into a comforting, friendly hug.
"Hey," I said, trying to comfort her. "I wish that Kate and I could have been the ones on that rock, rubbing noses, and I wish that you and Garth were to do the same thing, right after us. Stupid pack laws, am I right?"
"I couldn't agree more," she said hugging back. For how long we sat there, comforting each other, I will never know, but in all honesty, I didn't care. The warm embrace was nice, and I loved Lilly like my own sister. In puppyhood, with Kate gone, she was always the one getting hit on by the perverted Omega's, some even women, and I was always the one there to comfort her. There would be entire days, just like this one, where we'd sit together, in each other's warm embrace, offering care, support, and love to each other. Then she did something I didn't expect; she licked my cheek!
"Thank you," she said a little more happily. "I really needed that. Just like 'ole times, eh?"
"Yeah," I replied, still stunned, "I was actually thinking of that just now."
She giggled, for reasons I will never know.
"So, where are we, Humpf?" she asked. I chuckled at the pet name that she gave me as pups.
"I don't have any idea, really; my original plan was to ride the train until it stops. See where it would take me, you know?" By now, the sun was beginning to set again, just as beautiful, if not more than before. Lilly and I both walked over and sat at the door of the train car. I looked at her, peacefully staring at the rainbow of colors.
She looked so beautiful sitting the- WAIT WHAT!? Did I just think that Lilly is beautiful? I mean, she's not ugly, but Kate's the one for me. Then again, she did just stomp on my heart, but, is it O.K. to think of someone like that right after that happens?
After another couple hours of me arguing with myself, staring at the sunset, I finally figured out my feelings for Lilly. Kate was a childhood friend, but never as good as Lilly. In the mind of a child, you would always go for the prettier one, and that's exactly what I did. Lilly and Kate today are equal, in my opinion, Lilly being the cute, fun loving Omega, and Kate being the athletic strong Alpha.
However, looks are not just it now that we are almost all one year old, one tenth of the average wolf's lifespan. I see that now. Even as a pup, Lilly had a more fun personality, and a hilarious sense of humor, while Kate, I hate to say it, always seemed like 'the dumb blond.' She laughed at my jokes, but never like Lilly did, and Kate trying to even make a joke was… embarrassing to say the least.
Besides, all Kate ever cared about was staying strong, hunting, and 'responsibility,' just like most Alphas in the Western Pack. Lilly, on the other hand, was always funny, caring, kind, compassionate, and beautiful in her own ways, and in that moment, I realized I'd been wrong my whole life.
I was wrong to ignore Lilly in my later adolescent years while I was trying to win Kate over, and I was wrong to even believe that Kate was the right choice. All my life, I'd been chasing false hopes. Lilly was the one for me, and I realized, I had always LOVED her; I love her like a sister, like a best friend, and as a mate. I love her to death, and I would put my life on the line to save hers.
Smiling to myself, finally getting my thoughts straight, I looked over and saw that she had fallen asleep, leaning on me. Her head fit perfectly in the crook of my neck. We even fit together. My right leg was falling asleep, sadly, so I had to wake the sleeping angel up. "Lilly, wake up," I whispered, lightly shaking her. As she opened her eyes, I saw those amazing magenta orbs, and knew I was making the right choice.
"Hello there," she said, yawning.
"Hey, how was your nap," I asked. "I'm sorry I had to wake you up, but my right leg was going to sleep."
"Don't worry about it, your neck is pretty comfy," she replied, giggling. I chucked.
"Hey, check out the moon, it's almost full."
"Yeah, it's pretty beautiful, Humphrey."
I then decided to test her indirectly.
"Hey, Lilly, would you like to howl with me?" I asked. She pondered that question for a moment.
"Sure, why not, right?" she replied. So I began, trying to match the melody I howled with Kate, a love song with us wolves. She was clearly amazed with my voice, as I heard an audible gasp. Then, she came in, and ho-ly crap was her voice beautiful. Our emotional howls matched in perfect harmony, sending our sorrow and happiness to be sitting next to each other out into the night sky.
After we finished, we looked at each other, and both had a happy, bright look on our faces, smiling.
"That was-" I began.
"AWESOME!" she finished. We then shared a laugh. When we looked at each other again, I saw a look of pure joy on her face. She then did something I would have never expected, in a million years: She kissed me. Not a lick or peck on the cheek, but a kiss right on the muzzle. It took a few moments to register, but then I began to kiss back. For how long we kissed, I do not know, but it was the most amazing, passionate kiss I had ever experienced, and we broke after what felt like an eternity later, only for air.
We looked at each other, our faces expressing pure passion and love.
"I love you, Lilly," I said.
"I love to, too, Humphrey," she replied, crying tears of joy. We then kissed one last time, and lay down to sleep.
"Well, I'm on the road with you, now," I whispered to the tired angel, "and I wouldn't have it any other way." She and I fell into one of the best sleeps we have ever had, I'm sure of, with smiles on our faces.
"Wow, I really didn't think I would expand it THAT much. Almost 4 pages in Microsoft Word, and about 1560 words of story! But I hope you guys like the second chapter, and there will be many more to come. To be honest, this is what I think should have happened in the real story. Kate and Garth seem like a lot more of a couple, and same with Lilly and Humphrey. More to come and thanks so much for reading and reviewing. Peace, and xSHADOWDAWN out!"
So anyway, guys, as the original note says, this is the end of this chapter. I hope you doods enjoyed, and if you did, head over to RetroApple's page and read his other story, give him some comments on what you think, and don't forget to Follow & Favorite him and his other story. Maybe give me a Follow&Fav as well if you think it's deserved…
And as always, I will SEE YOU- *points at the audience* …in the next chapter. BYE BYE-E-E-E!
