The next morning, Humphrey and Kate were awoken by the morning light, and the warmth of the sun on their bodies. They got up, yawned, and stretched. They no longer felt sick. In fact, they felt great. Refreshed.

"Good morning, beautiful," said Humphrey to Kate.

Kate smiled affectionately. "Morning, handsome," she said. Then she remembered Blake from last night. "Humphrey, we better go tell the pack about Blake."

"Right," said Humphrey. He and Kate hurried off to her parents' den.

An hour later, after they had told Winston, Eve, Tony, and the rest of the pack to be on the look out for Blake, Humphrey and Kate went to the valley to meet up with Lilly and Garth for the days hunt.

Humphrey and Lilly had been taking some lessons from Kate and Garth on how to hunt and had even started hunting with them. They had both made significant progress, even though they still hadn't mastered all the fancy flips and spins Kate and Garth could do.

Lilly and Garth were already there. Humphrey and Kate walked up to them.

"Hi, Barf," said Humphrey to Garth.

"Hey, Coyote," said Garth to Humphrey.

Kate and Lilly rolled their eyes. Humphrey and Garth weren't being mean to each other. That was just how they always greeted each other now. It had sort of become their thing.

"Okay, lets get started," said Kate. They began sneaking through the tall grass in search of caribou.

They found a small group of caribou grazing together further down the valley. They began quietly sneaking towards them. Kate and Garth moved in front while Humphrey and Lilly followed their lead.

Garth crouched low in the grass, eying his targets, putting his entire focus on them. So he didn't notice as the grass underneath his paws suddenly began smoking… but Humphrey and Lilly noticed.

"Garth," whispered Humphrey.

"Quiet, Humphrey," Garth snapped at him. "I'm trying to concentrate."

"No, Garth," said Lilly, "there's something you should…"

"Both of you, be quiet," Kate hushed them. She then got up and pounced for the nearest caribou. But suddenly, she saw both her front legs stretch out like rubber towards her prey. Her eyes went wide. "What the h…" she yelled, just as she crashed into the caribous flank. The caribou panicked, causing all the other caribou to panic as well. They all took of running while Kate lay on the ground where she had fallen.

"Darn it," growled Garth as he pounded his fist on the ground in frustration, having not noticed what had happened to Kate's front legs. Suddenly, and without any warning, he burst into flames.

Humphrey and Lilly screamed and jumped back in surprise and horror. Garth looked at his completely enflamed body and began to panic, screaming, running, and rolling around on the ground.

"HELP! HELP! I'M ON FIRE! I'M ON FIRE!" he screamed as he rolled on the ground. Then suddenly he stopped. "Wait a minute. It doesn't hurt." As soon as he stopped panicking, the flames disappeared. He got up and looked all over his body. He wasn't burnt at all.

Lilly ran up to him, and Humphrey hurried over to Kate to see if she was all right. When he got to her, the first thing he noticed was her front legs. They were stretched out to twice their normal length. Kate was also staring at them, her mouth hanging open, too shocked to move or say anything. Before long, Lilly and Garth came over as well and stared at her legs along with Humphrey.

Finally, Humphrey spoke. "Kate, ar-are you okay?"

Kate looked up at him. "Do I look okay?" she asked in a hysterical voice. She moved her forelegs and suddenly they shank back to their normal length.

Kate got to her feet, shakily.

"What happened?" asked Lilly.

"I don't know," said Kate, as she looked at one of her forelegs. "They just… stretched out."

"Did it hurt?" asked Humphrey out of concern.

"No," said Kate. "That's what freaks me out the most."

"I was on fire and it didn't hurt either," said Garth. "I don't know how I caught on fire though."

"I don't know either, but you scared me to death," said Lilly.

They all looked at Lilly, but she wasn't there. She was just gone.

"Lilly?" said Garth.

"Yeah?" they heard Lilly's voice, but didn't see her anywhere.

"Where are you?"

"What do you mean?" asked Lilly. "I'm right here." Lilly was confused as to why they were all acting like they couldn't see her.

"We don't see you," said Garth.

"What?" Lilly looked down at herself. To her surprise, she couldn't see herself either. "WHA… MY BODY'S GONE!" she shrieked. She was starting to panic.

"Lilly, just calm down," said Kate.

Garth put a paw out where he guessed where she had been and started waving it around until he felt it make contact with something soft and furry that he couldn't see. "Lilly, is that you?" he asked.

"Yes," she said, feeling Garth's paw on her shoulder. "What's happening?"

"Lilly, your body's not gone, we just can't see you for some reason," said Kate.

The feel of Garth's paw on her shoulder kind of calmed her down a little. Suddenly, Lilly slowly faded back into vision.

"Lilly, we can see you again," said Humphrey.

"You can?" Lilly looked down at her body, once again visible, and sighed with relief.

"So what's happening to us?" asked Garth.

Kate looked down at her front paw. Then she extended it out in front of her like she was reaching for something. Suddenly, her arm began to stretch, extending forward, quickly becoming twice as long as it was supposed to be, then three times as long, and then four times as long before Kate pulled it back to normal length.

Kate looked at them all. "I think… we might have… strange abilities."

"I believe the correct term is… super powers," said Humphrey, unable to believe this was happening. "Garth, try to catch on fire again."

"What?" exclaimed Garth like Humphrey was crazy.

"Come on. You said it didn't hurt," said Humphrey.

Garth thought for a moment. Then he said, "I don't know how."

"How did it happen the last time?" asked Kate.

"Um…" thought Garth. "I don't know. I just burst into flames."

"Were you thinking anything or feel a certain way?"

"Well, he looked a little mad," said Lilly.

"I was a little frustrated," said Garth.

"Try getting mad again," said Kate.

"Okay," said Garth, taking a step back from them. "Here it goes." He closed his eyes and made an angry face. A few seconds later, he burst into flames again. "HOLLY CRAP!" he shouted, but remained standing there, flames completely engulfing his body.

Humphrey, Kate, and Lilly stared at him. They could feel the intense heat coming off his body.

"You know, this is actually pretty cool!" said Garth, starting to like it.

"And it doesn't hurt you at all?" asked Kate.

"It doesn't even feel hot," said Garth. Suddenly the flames disappeared and Garth stood there, looking completely fine.

"Okay," said Kate. "So Garth can catch on fire, I can stretch like rubber, and Lilly can turn invisible."

"But how did this happen?" asked Lilly.

"Yeah," said Garth. "I mean, how did we all suddenly get these abilities."

Kate didn't have to think for long. "It must have been that purple stuff that got on us from the train," she said. But then she realized something. "But Humphrey got that stuff on him, too." She looked at Humphrey. "Have you been experiencing anything weird?"

Humphrey thought for a moment. "No," he said. "I don't think so."

They began trying to figure out if Humphrey had any abilities. He tried getting angry or emotional, but nothing happened. He tried stretching his limbs out, but they stayed the same. After this, they started wondering why Humphrey was the only one who didn't seem to have any abilities.

"Do you feel any different?" asked Kate.

"I think I feel something," said Humphrey. "Although it might be hunger related."

They all sighed.

"Maybe you're immune or something," said Kate.

"Yeah, maybe," said Humphrey, a little disappointedly.

"I just realized something," said Garth. "That Blake guy also got the stuff on him. I wonder what's happened to him."

"Well, lets just hope he's also immune, like Humphrey," said Kate.

Meanwhile, out side of Jasper Park, Blake was walking by himself through the woods. He still felt sick and weak, and his breathing was coming in shallow gasps. Water was running off his body like it was a hundred degrees out, except that he knew wolves didn't sweat.

"What's happening to me?" he choked to himself. Then he instantly stopped as he started coughing and began hacking up water out of his mouth. Then suddenly his legs collapsed underneath him and he fell to the ground with a splash as his entire body suddenly burst into water and went all over the ground. Then all that was left of him was a puddle of water in the dirt.
