Black & White:
Lilly was running as far from Garth's den as possible. She remembered the train her sister once told her about. Kate had said that she and Humphrey took it when coming home from Idaho. Lilly decided that she was going to take the Canadian Express.
Vincent was running as fast as he could to catch Lilly. Vincent was much faster than Lilly usually, however it seemed Lilly had a strong drive to outrun her pursuers. Although Vincent understood why she would run away, he knew he had to catch her before she did something reckless.
Kate and Humphrey were doing their best to keep up. Unfortunately Humphrey was much slower than the others. This weighed Kate down.
"Come on Humphrey! We won't catch Lilly if you don't pick it up!"
"Did you forget I'm just an omega? I'm trying my best here."
"So is Lilly!" exclaimed Kate.
Humphrey simply scowled and tried even harder to keep up with them.
Vincent was becoming more frantic as Lilly slowly faded from view.
"LILLY! COME BACK LILLY!" screamed Vincent.
Lilly could hear their calls, and while she felt quite guilty, she chose to ignore them. She couldn't turn back and face Garth.
Lilly caught sight of the train tracks and she could hear the slight hum of the approaching beast. With that Lilly decided to run towards the train rather than wait. She didn't want to risk the others to catch her.
Kate could hear the train approaching.
"Oh shit!" said Kate
"What's wron- oh no. That can't be the train." said Humphrey, in an obviously exhausted tone.
Vincent also could hear the train and he turned his frantic run into a record-breaking sprint. Vincent was running fast then anything Kate or Humphrey have ever seen.
"I hope Vincent doesn't kill himself." said Humphrey, trying to lighten up the heated moment.
"I hope Lilly is ok..." said Kate, completely ignoring Humphrey.
"Oh come on Kate, you know Lilly will be ok! She can handle herself and you know it. She just needs to let out her sadness." said Humphrey.
Lilly watched as the train came around a bend. She was thinking about her life here in Jasper. She wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.
"I'm going to miss everyone. My friends… My family… but I can't stay here with Garth and that bitch Megan! I must leave…" Lilly said to herself.
Lilly decided that she needed to leave. With that she jumped in an open train car.
"I hope I didn't just make a mistake…" was the only thing Lilly could say.
Vincent arrived at the train tracks, about the same time Lilly jumped on the train, and he turned to look for his friends.
'Where are they' Vincent thought to himself. 'More importantly were did Lilly go?'
Vincent realized something. Why wasn't he following her scent?
Vincent put his nose to the ground and tried to sniff out the direction Lilly went.
"Lilly went down the tracks, toward the train… She must have jumped on!" Vincent said out loud.
Kate and Humphrey approached Vincent.
"Did you lose her?" asked Humphrey.
"No, I found her scent go down the tracks. I think she went to get on the train. We should wait here and get on when it passes by." said Vincent, who seemed to have calmed down a bit.
"Good idea!" said Humphrey.
"I hope your right…" said Kate, who seemed to be getting worried about her sister.
'I have to be right, I can't let Lilly leave. She is the most important wolf I have ever met. Losing her would kill me!' thought Vincent.
Vincent laid down to regain his strength after his vigorous effort to catch Lilly. He had a few minutes before the train would arrive so he thought it would be a good idea to have some stamina left incase Lilly ran away again.
The train was roaring along the tracks and was fast approaching Lilly's pursuers. However, she didn't know that they were going to follow her onto the train. She had acted too hastily to plan her actions. The adrenaline and hate running through her body made her act the way she did.
When the train came into view of Vincent, Kate, and Humphrey; Vincent hastily got up and shouted for the others. He knew they only had one shot and if they missed the train, Lilly might be gone forever.
The train made its fast approach towards the group and Vincent reared back to enter the only open train car. The others positioned themselves further down the track so they could also jump on. Vincent jumped up and landed successfully in the train's belly.
Kate was next and she also reared back like Vincent. Just like his athletic attempt, she gracefully leaped through the air and landed perfectly in the car.
Humphrey was last and unlike Vincent, Humphrey wasn't very coordinated. He also tried to rear back and leap through the air like a majestic lion; however he ended up with a face-full of steel when he collided with the door on the opposite side of the train.
While Humphrey was writhing in pain, Vincent and Kate decided to check out the train car to look for Lilly. Vincent spotted something white burrowed in the corner of the car. He went to investigate it when he noticed it start to move.
"Lilly, I know that's you. Please come out and talk to us." pleaded Vincent.
The white object simply growled in return.
"Lilly, we just want you to be happy. I love you." said Kate in a caring tone.
The object began to move and slowly stepped into view.
"Please don't bring me back there…" pleaded Lilly.
"I won't make you do anything Lilly." Vincent said compassionately."I just want you to be happy."
"I can't go back to that place! Just let me leave and sulk on my own…" said Lilly.
Lilly was obviously very depressed and Humphrey, who had just recovered from his accident, came up with a brilliant plan.
"Road trip?" said Humphrey.
"Huh?" the others said in unison.
"Well I think we could all afford a vacation. Why don't we leave jasper for awhile?" suggested Humphrey.
"That's a… Great Idea!" shouted Kate.
"I agree! It would be nice to get away for once. Are you okay with that Lilly? said Vincent.
"Of course! I can't wait to explore the world!" said Lilly, who finally seemed distracted from her troubles with Garth.
"… Where are we going to go?" asked Kate.
"Well… I could show you guys my home if you would like. However it is a long journey to south Florida. It might take some time before we come home to Jasper." said Vincent.
"Well I'm all-for-it!" exclaimed Humphrey and Kate.
"Great! The train heads south in a few miles so I think we should get some sleep before we start our big adventure." said Vincent.
"Good idea. Goodnight guys!" said Humphrey, who was followed by Kate.
The two snuggled in the corner, because it was quite a cold day due to all the cold rain and wind.
"Well goodnight Lilly. I'm glad we were able to talk you into running away." said Vincent, who was obviously tired.
"Me too! I just hope they don't worry about us too much back home." said Lilly.
Vincent chuckled and laid down in a spot near the rear of the car, opposite Humphrey and Kate. Vincent had tendencies to shy away from others, even when sleeping.
Lilly saw this and followed him. She wanted to sleep near him, because she felt safer around him. She loved his presence.
As the night pressed on Lilly became cold. She eventually gave up her subconscious battle and walked up to Vincent. As a sleep-walking zombie, Lilly snuggled in close to him and fell into a deep sleep.
Vincent tried to fight back a smirk but he couldn't.
'Lilly is mine now Garth. I'm going to make sure nobody hurts her.'
With that Vincent lost conscious, as the happiest wolf in the world.
