Chapter 2:

Kate Finally finished training. She went out to go find Humphrey. They had been hanging out a lot now. Kate found Humphrey in his usual spot, chasing his tail.

"Hey Humphrey. What are we going to do today?"

"Follow me."

Humphrey darted through the woods, Kate ran after him. He was surprisingly faster than her. After what seemed like forever they arrived at a large den. Humphrey entered the den and Kate followed. Kate saw a girl wolf with long black hair that was about the same age as her inside. "Kate, this is my cousin Cristina, Cristina this is my friend Kate." "Oh hi Kate." Kate felt a bit suspicious because she had never ventured this far away from her home. "So what are we doing here Humphrey?"Kate asked. "Well Cristina here has been teaching me how to hunt small animals, so far the best I caught was a bluebird." "Well that's amazing Humphrey" Kate said while smiling and leaning against him. "So anyways I was going to show you how good I am at hunting." Humphrey bragged. "So then lets go!"Kate said as she ran outside

It was starting to get dark so Kate suggested they only stay out for thirty minutes at most. Humphrey started chasing a squirrel. He came back and showed Kate, only to see that she caught 4 squirrels.

"Wow your fast" Humphrey said as he dropped the squirrel in the pile. "Your not so bad yourself." Kate whispered in Humphrey's ear. To Humphrey's surprise Kate then kissed him on the lips for 3 seconds. After she stopped Humphrey smiled and almost passed out. Kate blushed and then started heading back home. "Wait Kate, where are you going?" Kate sped up to a speed trot and Humphrey ran in front of her.

"What was that?"

"I'm sorry"

"No its not that I didn't like it its just that-"

Humphrey just realized that he told Kate that he liked the kiss. After that they were both silent on the way home.

Kate stopped next to a tree close to their dens.

"Humphrey..."

"Yea Kate?" Humphrey stopped in front of her.

"Do you... like me?"

"Well yea but... wait do you mean like or... love?"

After an awkward silence kate said "love"

All Humphrey could think to do after that was nod his head.

Kate ran up and hugged Humphrey. Humphrey looked up at the tree they were standing next to. Kate noticed Humphrey looking and smiling and tried to see what he was looking at. There was a heart looking shape carved in the tree.

Then almost simultaneously they both reached up and wrote with their claws "K + H"

THE NEXT DAY

Kate and Humphrey were walking together. "Kate, have you ever played Berryball?"

"No, whats that?"

"It's a game my friends Salty and Shakey made up. Mooch always carried a berry branch with him so one time Salty took one of the berries and started hitting it back and forth. That was pretty much how they made the game?"

"Thats sounds kinda fun! How long ago did they make that up?"

"About an hour ago."

"Oh. That was quick."

Humphrey took Kate on a shortcut through the forest to get to Shakey's den. By the time they were almost there Humphrey and Kate both tripped on a log. Humphrey fell on top of Kate in a Hugging position. They didn't move for a couple of seconds until Humphrey's friends Started laughing at them.

They both got up and smiled at each other.

"Hey guys can me and Kate join in?"

They were already playing Berryball before Kate and Humphrey arrived. Although mooch snatched the last berry and ate it just before they got there.

"Sorry guys, Mooch ate the last berry. I was just about to go get some mo-" Shakey said but then Humphrey called in "Kate and I can go get some berries. "

"Ok then"

Humphrey and Kate wandered into the forest. "Ok Kate you go look over there and I'll look over here." Kate left and Humphrey started looking. After about 10 minutes Humphrey came across a giant bush. He started to smell inside it but then he felt something like a nose touch his nose. He jumped back and heard a bit of a girlish yipe from the other side of the bush. He ran through the bush and saw Kate on the other side. They started laughing.

"Hey guys did you find any berries yet?" Salty called out, looking for Kate and Humphrey with Shakey and Mooch.

Humphrey heard him and they both ran to find him.

Salty looked up at a tree and noticed a heart. He looked closer and saw letters. "K +"

Humphrey jumped in the way and covered up the heart. "Hey guys." Kate called to divert their attention away from the tree.

Salty looked at Kate and then Humphrey. "What's going on?" He said with a confused look on his face.

"Oh nothing at all" Humphrey quickly said.

"Oh... okay then. There's some berries over there" Salty pointed out.

They went back to play Berry ball, Kate and Humphrey feeling very nervous.

Ok thats all for the second chapter, I'm thinking about adding a lemon for the third chapter. And sorry for the pathetic introduction for the new wolf. There's gonna be a lot of new wolfs but I'll make sure to introduce them better.
