Chapter 3 : Hidden Friendship and Mistakes

Garth's heart stopped when he heard a familiar voice near him.

"Oh no, no, no, no." Garth repeated in his head, trying to stop his tears. He quickly got control of himself and cleared his throat.

"Garth? You out here?" Tony said gruffly. He came out of a nearby bush and saw his son.

"Uh... Yeah, Dad. I'm right here..." Garth said, trying to act normal. He turned around and smiled shyly.

"Ah, There you are, Son." Tony walked up to Garth and patted him on the shoulder, chuckling.

Garth chuckled silently and lightly pushed Tony's paw off him. He wiped the spot where Tony touched him with his paw.

"So, How has it been with Kate?" Tony asked, curiously.

"Oh, Fine fine. " Garth sighed. He turned his head slightly to the side and looked at a bush sadly. Whenever he heard the name, Kate, He couldn't help but think of Kate's childhood friend, Humphrey.

He closed his eyes slowly and focused on his memories instead of listening to Tony explaining something to him about the peace of the pack.

Line Break

(Flashback)

The grey wolf pup giggled as he walked along the fallen leaves and smiled when they crunched under his paws.

It was a young version of Humphrey.

This was a past image of the start of a hidden friendship.

Humphrey tilted his head and sniffed at the air, curiously. It was a new scent to him.

This place didn't smell like his home in the west. It smelled... Hmm... Well, New.

Humphrey carefully walked into the forest and watched his surroundings.

Not knowing he was heading east into the Eastern Pack territory.

(Fast Forward 10 Minutes)

Humphrey whimpered as he tried to remember his surroundings. Nothing was familiar to him. The trees looked scary. The atmosphere was different. He didnt catch one scent of his pack.

"Hello?..." Humphrey whispered sadly.

He yelped when he heard a branch crack not far from him.

"AGH!" Humphrey yelped again. He whimpered and curled up into a ball.

"Please... Who's there? He whined.

He yelped once more when he heard scraping on a tree.

"PLEASE!" Humphrey yelped.

Suddenly he heard high pitched chuckling and laughing.

"Your a bit of a scaredy cat, aren't you?" A young voice said.

Humphrey raised his eyes in alert and circled around.

"Hah hah hah hah hah, Your yelp was so hilarious! I'm surprised your not half banshee!" The voice giggled again.

Humphrey scowled and growled. He was about to kick this mysterious voice's ass.

He turned around when he saw a young brownish-orange wolf come out from behind a tree.

"Hahahahahahahah! AH! PLEASE! DON'T EAT ME! PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING! I'll YELP TILL I BLOW THE WORLD'S EARDRUMS!" The wolf said, doing an impression of Humphrey.

Humphrey rolled his eyes. "Bit overdramatic..." He thought.

The wolf laughed a few more times before walking up to Humphrey, grinning.

"Soooooooo... Hi! My names Garth! What's yours, Sir Yelper?" Garth asked.

Humphrey growled again. "My names Humphrey..." Humphrey said gruffly.

Garth yipped happily and circled around Humphrey. "Soooooo... Where are your parents, "Huffphrey"?" Garth asked, happily.

Humphrey's ears dropped at that question. "Ummm..." Humphrey cleared his throat and whimpered.

Garth stopped circling Humphrey and his smile disappeared. He carefully walked up to Humphrey's face and looked at him in concern.

"Uh..., Where are they, Wolfy?" Garth asked worriedly, even though he aleady knew exactly where they were.

Humphrey whined and looked at Garth sadly. He was sure that Garth already knew.

"Oh... I'm sowwy..." Garth whimpered and curled next to Humphrey.

"It's okay..." Humphrey said sadly but still curled closer into Garth.

Garth put his ears down but eventually, an idea popped into his head.

"Come with me! Come to my pack family!" Garth said happily.

Humphrey's eyes widened at Garth's outburst.

"Uhhh..." Humphrey said shakily.

"Come on! I- Uh... They! I meant they will love you..." Garth said sheepishly.

Humphrey blushed at what Garth almost said. Did he really mean..."It was just a mistake, Humphrey. Let it go." Humphrey thought.

Garth tilted his head and his eyes widened, waiting for Humphrey to answer.

Humphrey was about to say no but he couldn't say no to that face.

He sighed. "Okay..." He replied.

Garth barked happily and ran around in circles.

Humphrey chuckled softly and watched Garth run around.

Suddenly, Garth ran up to Humphrey. He pounced onto him.

"Agh! Garth! What are you doing?" Humphrey yelped.

Garth chuckled and put his paw on Humphrey's paw.

"Just a little sign... Friends forever..." Garth said happily.

Humphrey blushed slightly but smiled.

(End of Flashback)

"Garth? Garth? Hey, You there?" Tony asked.

Garth opened his eyes and turned to his father.

"Oh... Uh... Yes... Uh, What were we talking about?" Garth asked.

Tony looked confused at Garth.

"Uh... Okay. We were talking about that incident that happened a little while back." Tony said.

Garth's eyes widened. "Oh no... He's not talking about..." He thought.

"That incident that happened near the tracks..." Tony said.

Garth whimpered softly. He raised his ears when he heard what his father was doing.

He was actually laughing. Not a slight chuckle. This was real laughing. It sounded evil. Revenge like.

Garth scowled to himself and bared his teeth away from his father.

His father was fucking laughing at Humphrey's suicide!

"Heh heh heh, I guess that wolf finally got what was coming. That fa* deserved it. Garth, Aren't you glad I kept him away from you when you were kids?" Tony said.

"THATS IT!" Garth screamed in his head.

Garth raised his paw up and smacked Tony across the face with his claws out.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING SAY THAT!" Garth screamed.

A/N: Dun dun dun! Another slight cliffhanger!

The flashback wasn't normally gonna be in this chapter but I really wanted to show Garth and Humphrey as pups. I can just picture them playing together :D.

Also, I used a little bleeper on... well that word, because I just really hate saying it :(.

Till then! - Shadow
