Okay, I plan on doing another update sometime soon after this to compensate for the short chapter. Aldo the oc's will take a much further backseat after this chapter. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Alpha and Omega. Except for the O/C's.
Ran Into Issues
Humphrey had just disappeared into the eastern territory after witnessing Eve demolish several alphas.
Having a small head-start he knew it would be best to continue, hoping that Eve's wrath would die down soon.
"That was too close" He dashed past several tall pine trees, delving further into the eastern woods. Though it was night time it was still late enough to catch the moon high in the night sky.
He was unfamiliar to the eastern woods, he had never truly been past the borders on their side.
After several minutes of straight running he came to a stop behind a dense collection of trees, though he couldn't tell where he was from what he could see it was rather safe.
"Okay I'll be safe here" he look around and saw nothing but trees. "I've got to go back sometime, but with Eve on a rampage I've got to lay low."
"Yeah us too," said a voice from just behind the trees.
Humphrey jumped in shock backing into a tree, he had been caught on eastern territory.
"I told you not to give us away" another voice soon followed, deeper in tone and louder as well. A deep tan wolf stepped from behind the tree. Slightly ruffled fur and deep teal eyes were all that Humphrey could see.
"I-im sorry for intruding, I'll just be-." Humphrey saw the opportunity to run but was cut short by several wolves appearing from around the tree, he had bee a bit careless in scouting the area.
A slender grey wolf stepped closer to him and stared at him intently "He's gonna be trouble if he calls his pack over."
The tan wolf merely nodded "We can't allow him to do that. Sorry about this eastern guy."
Humphrey panicked and waved his paws at them "Waitwaitwait, I'm not an eastern wolf."
The wolves paused for a moment and looked over him, they didn't know any eastern wolves.
"Well how can we be sure" one of them said, curious to find out if he was friend or potential foe.
"HA, thats incredibly easy guys" one of the wolves practically ran up to Humphrey's side and sat down next to him.
This wolf had a very light grey coat with a faded stripe running down to his tail, and almost crystal blue eyes and looked rather cheerful.
"Okay here's the test," the wolf leaned in close to Humphrey's ear and gestured as if to whisper.
Humphrey leaned in and awaited whatever test he could take to get out of this mess.
Taking a deep breath the wolf yelled out "WHAT'S YOUR NAME."
The tan wolf shot him a glare "Tori I told you to stop yelling, we're trying not to get caught."
"H-humphrey, my name is humphrey" he said aloud trying to cover his ears.
Tori grinned and patted Humphrey on the back "See guys he's not an eastern wolf at all."
He got several confused looks "How does that prove he's not an eastern wolf?"
The wolf chuckled a bit and tried to put on a serious visage "If he were an 'Eastern' wolf his name would have been Lee," he stated matter-of-factly.
The other wolves merely shook their heads or gave him an 'are you real' look.
"Well, since he's no help" the tan wolf pointed to Tori 'We must ask, are you an eastern wolf."
Humphrey was taken aback by the sudden change and shook his head.
With a sigh of relief the wolf continued his questioning "Okay then what are you."
Humphrey's situation caught up to him "Well I'm a western wolf, and I'm just kind of running for my life, or what may be left of it."
The wolf looked a bit puzzled as to whom he wold be running from "Running from the eastern wolves I presume."
"Them, no, but something far worse, and who are you all?" Humphrey said cautiously.
The wolf smiled a bit knowing that they were okay for now "Oh, right sorry, we're a nomadic pack."
One of the other members the grey wolf stepped forward and began to speak as well "We're here because we got a bit lost and our temporary shelter fell in on us."
The wolves looked a bit saddened about the statement.
The grey wolf looked around at them and saw how down they were "Well Humphrey we're traveling, and if you wanted you can join us."
Eve was chasing him and he was in unfamiliar territory. He was given a second chance, and would be much safer at that.
Humphrey smiled "I could use a little trip."
"Good, we could use repl-, I mean member, so let me introduce us." the wolf stood and walked next to him.
He placed a paw on his chest "My name is Vincent or Vince for short, I'm their leader, alpha rank."
Then Vincent started pointing around "The grey wolf there is Jake the scout, he's one of my betas," Jake smiled and waved at them.
"Theres Ophelia and Clarissa our healers, omega rank" he pointed to two nearly identical deep auburn wolves idly chatting with each other.
He pointed to an unusually yellow colored wolf who was watching the area "Terrance our navigator, he's also a beta."
Vincent pointed to a pair of wolves that sat in silence, one of them almost looking asleep. "The black wolf there her name is Melissa, she's an omega" He leaned in and whispered to Humphrey "She doesn't interact much."
"That's cause she's a robot," Tori yelled cheerfully with a wide grin.
Vincent shot him a look but didn't disagree.
"And the brown wolf sleeping next to her-" He looked at him with a bit of despair.
"His name's bob, he's really old and doesn't speak a lick of english" Tori shouted cutting of Vincent "I'm his translator."
Vincent took a deep breath and looked on with disgust "And 'lastly' as you well know this is Tori, omega rank and-"
"Vincy's little bro"
"I told you to stop cutting me off"
Tori simply smiled while Vincent turned back to Humphrey "He's got… issues," he finished angrily.
Humphrey questioningly looked at the strange wolf, out of line and constantly causing trouble. He kind of reminded him of his puppyhood days.
Vincent took a few steps away "Anyways, Humphrey we're going to find a good place to stay for a while."
"Sure I'll tag along until things cool off"
"Garth Lee Wolf, get your alpha tail over here and help me" Tony yelled still unable to get up from the pain in his back.
It had been a rough time for the eastern pack. They had to deal with Eve for a matter of minutes, but even that was too much for them to handle.
Their alpha rank members were hurt in more ways than one. Tony was down, several of his best were beaten by another member of their pack. That wolf that beat them was used by Eve as a weapon nonetheless.
It was terrible for them, but it did stop their fighting for the time being.
"Coming dad." Garth tore down the cliffside and reached his father as quickly as possible.
Once there he went to work helping his father.
"We need to start taking care of the injured" Tony said concerned for his pack "AAh- don't lift, just Roll."
He thought back to his order to attack Eve and was lucky that she only went this far.
Garth took notice of what Tony said and began to nudge him to roll him from off his back.
"Winston," he shouted "would you mind… h-helping us for a moment."
With several attempts to get his father up Garth simply placed his paws to his side and shoved Tony. Instead of getting up Tony rolled off the edge of his cliff.
"Um, dad you okay" Garth hurriedly peered over the ledge, gritting his teeth at his mistake and hoping it went unnoticed.
Winton and Kate looked on, the western wolves had mostly left by now and they and Lilly remained.
Winston merely shook his head, knowing helping them would be the right thing to do. "Kate," Winston said still looking at Garth "We've got to help them before this gets worse."
As if on cue Garth jumped down from the ledge, accidentally dislodging a rock and causing a howl of pain from Tony.
Kate shook her head as well "Yea, come on Lilly."
Moonlight came crashing through the canopy of the eastern forrest.
Eve casually strode over the borders without even so much as looking back.
"Ah, such a nice time of the year to be out" she said with a somewhat upbeat tone.
She got a quick sniff of the air, she could smell her target near. It was too close for her.
She always had a good time hunting and it would be a shame to give chase just yet, but how far could this omega go?
"Oh well" A twisted smile appeared on the wolf's face as she delved further "Let the hunt begin."
