Chapter 3

While Kate and Garth are teaching Ashley alpha skills such as hunting, how to carry a deer easier, and tracking. In hunting she cried when the rabbit died, she refused to carry the deer. Then in tracking she moaned "Ugh this is sooo boring...lets do something else like log sledding!" Garth who was very annoyed at her whining through out the entire lesson stood up and said "Ok if you don't like to do this go back to the den and go 'log sledding' AND LEAVE US ALONE!"

Kate stared at Garth then mouthed the words "Shut your mouth." Not noticing Ashley running away back to the den and buried her face in Humphreys tail, and said beteen sobs "G-Garth was mean to me because I hated to hunt." Ashley was startled by whose voice she heard it wasn't Humphrey it was female. The female voice said "Don't worry little girl...Whats your name?" Ashley looked up and saw a completely White wolf and she screamed and backed up. Startled by Ashleys screaming the White wolf started screaming too, Humphrey came running out of the den to the scene of a white and black wolf and white wolf screaming. Humphrey laughed at the sight, but when Ashley saw Hmphrey she ran and hid behind him.

"Lilly why are you to screaming" he managed to get out between laughs she replied with "She came running up to me, crying about Garth being mean to her then she screamed. The scream scared me so I screamed." He looked down at Ashley and then said "go with Lilly she'll help you i'm going to sleep so not much fun here." as he walked in to the den shaking Ashley off of him. Ashley then slowly walked up to her and said "Ashley." Lilly said "what?" Ashley stated "My names Ashley." Lilly wagged her tail as she thought "Finaly someone like me." Ashley noticed this as she smiled at her and thought the exact samething then broke the thoughtful silence by saying "Wanna play Fox Hole?" Lilly excited by the thought and said "Sure how do you play." Ashley said me and my brothers and sisters uesd to play this game. What you do is you one of us has to hide and dig a hole and hide in it then the other person has to find them. Sounds fun right?" Lilly nodded her head and said "im first though" Ashley smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lilly ran as fast as her legs could carry her and found a good big tree by the main den and dug a hole as fast as she could and hid in it and noticed it was quite roomy so she snuggled up and waited for Ashley to find her and in the time she sat there she noticed how dirty she got and heard Ashley coming and decided to scare her as she heard her get closer she jumped out only to find a big drooling bloody grizzly bear. Lilly frozen in fear she yelled "HELP ME!" then ran twards the den. In the distance Kate and Garth heard her and ran to see what was the matter as they got there they saw the bear and Lilly running away to the den Kate ran to save her sister. Garth followed suit and yelled go "Lilly run, me and Garth will handle this!" Kate then jumped on top of the bear biting it and Garth biting its legs making it fall and breaking one of its legs so he leaped on it during its vain attempt to escape.

The bear in one last attempt lashed out at kate and hit her and made her fall off and have three long scratches along her back as she passed out from shock she yelled "Get Ashley" Lilly hiding behind a snoring Humphrey (who was completely oblivious to the world around him was also having a dream about...things with kate.) ran to get Ashley passing Garth who was doing well against the bear to find Ashley still trying to find her she ran over a picked her up and ran back to the den Ashley in protest said "Hey you're supossed to hide and i find you not the other way around." Then ashley saw Kate laying on the ground bleeding and garth fighting the bear. When they got back to the den Lilly told ashley to stay in thbe den while she got kate Ashley nodded in agreement. So Lilly looked out to see if the bear was still fighting Garth. It was so she ran out to go get kate and pulled her back into the den and said in the process "You need to lose some weight sis..." as she pulled her in the den ashley walked up to her and cuddled up next to her and cried.

Garth was doing well on his own but with kates help it would have been easier to kill the bear. It swung at him and he doged it and leaped at what seemed like the only way to get to its neck and bit it. the bear leaped up in shock and fear as it tried to get him off of him the bear fell backwards in an attempt to hurt Garth but he leaped off of it as it fell back and lunged for the stomach and killed it and roared its loudest. All the birds in the area flew off and the crows cawed in shock as if the placed bets. Garth proud of his accomplishment he walked up to the den to see Humphrey waking up smiling as he said "What i miss?" not seeing kate. Garth lunged at him and said "I killed a bear and your soon-to-be wife almost got killed while your up here being lazy!"

Kate waking up seeing the scene winced as she spoke "Get off of him Garth..." Ashley perked up and licked her all over and said "I thought you were dead kate never do that again!" Kate who got teary eyed said "I'll try not to...Ashey I need to sleep." Ashley said "ok ill let you sleep." while getting up and walking outside but ran back in crying because the bear was dead. Humphrey got up to get some water and told Ashley to come with him she said "ok but no where near the bear please." Humphrey nodded and they walked out to the pond in silence. Ashley broke the silence "It's all my fault...I made Lilly play the game and the bear hurt mo-I mean Kate." Humphrey studied her then stopped and then sat down and, said "No its not Ashley its no ones fault except the bear's. Don't hold your self responsible like that. Plus kates fine its just a scratch." Ashley still walking said "No the scratches can get infected and she'll get sick...plus if that doesn't happen then every one is still mad at me" crying softly. "No Ashley no one will I promise" he said looking up at the sky and saw the moon and said "Ok kiddo time for bed" as he walked over to pick her up to take her back to the den.

Kate woke up to find two leaves on her scratches and said "Huh...weird" as she pulled them off then Ashley yelled "No stop those'll help you heal." so she stopped and asked "how do you know?" Ashley looked embaressed and said "My mom taught me when i was a pup to help wolves." Kate thanked her and walked outside where the warm sun beat down on her as she covered her eyes to see Humphrey walking up a hill with Lilly and of course Kate being Kate she followed them to where they were going humphrey said "where should we go?" looking around and then lilly spotted something near Kate and said "Here" as she pulled out a log kate exhaled and acted like she was hunting a rabbit and said "hey humphrey what cha' doin?" humphrey startled by Kates voice He said "Christ you scared me uhh were just log sledding. wanna come with?" Kate said "sure got nothing better to do" as she hopped on the log in front of humphrey a thought came across his mind "we should get Ashley" then looked at lilly and said "Can you do us a favor and get Ashley for us?" lilly replied with a simple nod as she left Kate looked at Humphrey and said "What now?" This is how most of his sexual thoughts of Kate started. Humphrey said "What ever you want" just as he said that kate got on top of him and pushed a rock making the go down the hill at top speed. (not what he thought or wanted at the moment) they passed Lilly talking to Ashley.

Garth getting VERY annoyed with the fact that he has to dig a den by himself while the others did nothing so he walked up to lilly and said gently "Lilly will you come help me dig the den?" she was happy he asked her "yeah I'll help you. Bye Ashey" Ashley said sadly "Bye, Lilly" as she walked off laughing Ashley laid down in a grassy plain and wanted to have someone she could play with all the time. then she remembered Humphrey and Kate will probably play with her so she stood up and ran to their den and she said "Kate, Humphrey?" They were both laying down tired from "log-sledding" and kate said "we can't honney sorry. we're tired." Ashley looked down and said "ok..." and walked to Lilly and waited for them to be done and when they were Ashley wagged her tail uncontrollably as Lilly walked over and said "I can't play Ashey im so dirty im going to take a bath ask Garth he has nothing to do." as she walked off.

Ashley hoped for the best as she walked over to the newly dug den to an tired redish alpha and she walked very slowly. "uhh garth can you play with me?" she wispered Garth looked up and saw a sad little omega and she reminded him of his sister who died when they were pups. So he stood up and he noticed he towered over her and it was unfair, but he said "what did you have in mind?" as she wagged her tail wildly but stopped when she said "I didn't think i'd get this far...uhhhm how about tag?" he looked down at her and said "ok but im it" she ran and hid behind a tree and was quiet. garth of course knew where she was but he wanted her to have fun and said very stiffly "oh no where could she be?" she giggled and he hid behind the same tree as her and said "Got you!" and tagged her as she giggled and he jogged away and she had to run to catch him. Well you get the picture...

Lilly smiled as she watched them play and relized she wants pups but shook that thought off her mind. Garth would never want to have pups. So she continued her bath and dried off, then walked to her new den and went to sleep. Ashley who was having a good time got tired. So she told garth bye and walked back to the den to get ready to sleep. But when she laid down she heard Kate talking outside on the top of the den with Humphrey. She wanted to listen to them so she walked outside and tried to listen "What then Humphrey" Kate wispered. Humphrey sighed and thought for a moment and finally said "We tell her." Ashley wanted to know what was going on so she walked up behind them and said "Tell me what?"

DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNNNN WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?!
