Humphrey still kept is nose to the ground and air keeping watch for Kate's scent. His gray fur was now caked with mud and his nose was cold. Humphrey drew in a breath of the ice cold air. It burned his nostrils with every breath. He began to pant seeing his breath in the air.
"Where is she?" Humphrey wondered looking around hoping Kate was alright.
As Humphrey kept walking around the forest sniffing the air her scent began to wither. Humphrey had been looking for her for hours and finally had come to a highway. The roads were empty luckily so that Humphrey could cross without getting hit. He cautiously looked around making sure there was no cars or trucks. Humphrey lifted his nose and could smell a faint whiff of Kate. He began to run following the road hoping her scent would stay in the air.
"Please let Kate be safe." He whispered to himself still keeping vigilant to the road ahead.
Meanwhile in Jasper Park Lilly and Garth had just arrived back to the pack. Eve had quickly caught her daughter's scent and smiled and went to greet her.
"Hello Lilly dear, how's Kate?" She said with her normal creepy charming smile. Lilly hesitated for a bit but quickly smiled. "She's doing fine mom." Lilly said with a cheesy smile trying to hide her guilt. Eve could tell something was wrong and began to frown.
"Are you sure?" She said with a suspcious look.
"Of course!" Lilly yelled. Eve quickly turned her gaze over to Garth.
"Is this true?" Eve said in a low growl.
"Yes, she is." Garth said his voice a little shakey.
"You know, if anything happened to my Kate I would rip your flank from your bones." She said in a growl starting to bare her teeth at Garth.
Suddenly Winston caught sight of what was happening and stopped Eve.
"Don't you think that's enough dear?" He gently said trying to calm down Eve.
She soon stopped growling and smiled.
"I guess you're right." Eve said. "After all Garth is such a nice young male." She smiled.
Winston and Eve began to trot off.
"Phew, thank goodness she didn't find out." Lilly said letting out a sigh.
"Yeah I swear she was going to rip my fur off!" Garth laughed.
Suddenly Lilly's smile quickly turned into a frown.
"What's wrong?" Garth said with a confused look. "It's just, what if something bad happened to Kate?" She said looking at Garth her big indigo eyes full of worry.
"I'm sure She is alright." He said trying to comfort Lilly.
"I hope you're right." She said turning her back beginning to walk away.
He knew Lilly felt bad and decided to leave her alone.
"Please find her soon." Garth said looking towards the sky.
