"You two stay down here. I'll check it out." I got up and racked the slide on my gun and started slowly walking forwards. I suddenly heard a bush shake and pointed the gun that way.
"SHOW YOURSELF OR I WILL SHOOT!" I yelled. Suddenly, a wolf pup came out of it, looking scared.
"What were you doing in that bush!" I asked, still sort of mad.
"I-I was w-watching you walking th-though our territory." Said the small, red wolf pup still part way in the bush.
"What's your name?" I asked, still not sure.
"G-Garth..." he said, shaking in fear.
"Well, Garth, it seems you almost got killed!" Said Eve, walking up behind me.
"You know him?" I asked. Eve nodded.
"Yep, he's Tony's son. He's the leader of the eastern pack."
"Garth, you better get back home. This human was helping us." Lilly said.
"Okay. I'm sorry about all that." He said, getting up.
"It's okay. Just go home now." I said, putting my gun on my back.
"Okay..." he said, walking off.
"Okay, let's keep moving." I said. Eve and Lilly nodded and we continued walking home. After about two hours, we arrived back at our campsite. My mom & dad came outside to meet us.
"GUYS! You're back!" she said, hugging me. She let go and looked at Lilly and Eve.
"Who's this?" She asked, gesturing towards Eve.
"Mom, this is Eve, Lilly's mother. Eve, this is my mom." I said, introducing them.
"Nice to meet you, Eve. You have a very lovely daughter." She said.
"Thank you, and nice to meet you too. So, you are the humans that protected my daughter, I suppose?" Eve asked, smiling.
"Yes, Cody brought her home last night. She told us everything that happened, and we're very sorry." my dad said, coming over to us.
"Well, I thank you, very much. I told her to run while I fought off other wolves. Her sister came back this morning, but said she was going home with humans to get away from the danger here."
"Well, that is very nice to know. I'm sure she's very happy right now."
"Me too." After a little bit of silence, my mom asked, "So I suppose Cody told you how we'd like for Lilly to come home with us?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot about that. Yes, he did."
"Are you okay with that?" mom asked.
"Yes, I am. I am actually going to move to Glacier Park. I have friends and family there that I'd like to be closer to." she said, smiling.
"Oh, really? That's only about 45 minutes from our home. You can come by anytime you like." dad said.
"Well, thank you, very much. Lilly, are you going to be happy with them?" she asked, turning to Lilly.
"Yes, I would. They really care for me and I really like them." she said, smiling widely.
"Okay, then. As long as you're happy. So, when are you guys going home?"
"In just a few days. We leave Monday afternoon." dad said.
"Hm...That's I was planning to leave, too." Eve said.
"Really? Well, you could come with us, if you like." Mom said
"No, that's okay. I'm going to stop just before the border and visit some friends and let them know where I'll be now."
"Ok, that's sounds good. Would you like to stay with us until we leave?" mom asked.
"If it's okay. I don't feel safe with those other wolves still out there."
"It's no problem. If one of them comes, here we can protect you two."
"Well, thank you. So, what do you guys do here?"
"Mostly just sit around, enjoying the views."
"I was going to take my Jeep back up to some of the trails I found yesterday." I said.
"Well, if you do that, take the other tires for it." dad said, laughing a bit.
"Yeah, okay. Would you guys like to go? Might get to see some new scenery." I asked.
"Yeah, that sounds like fun. I've really only explored the valley so far." Eve said, smiling.
"I'll go too!" Lilly said, wagging her tail.
"Okay, let me get some food and water loaded up and we can go. It'll take about 15 minutes." I said.
"Ok, no problem." Eve said, laying down with Lilly. As I started packing up supplies, they were talking to my parents, laughing, joking & having a good time. After about 15 minutes, I told them we were set to go.
"Alright, just be careful. Remember to use that shotgun if you need to!" my mom said, waving to us.
"Okay, mom, got it." We set off towards the north and found a trail that went into the woods a bit and came back out to a great spot overlooking the entire park after a few miles. We decided to stop and enjoy it while the sun went down.
"Wow, I never knew the park was this large." Eve said, looking down at the valley.
"Yeah, mom. A lot of places we never knew about." Lilly said, smiling. After about 20 minutes, we started getting hungry. I got some dinner from the cooler I cooked before we left. Just some eggs and bacon. I divided it between us three. Eve and Lilly downed the bacon in no time.
"Wow, much better then raw caribou!" Eve said, licking her paws.
"Yeah, It's pretty good. This is nothing compared to some of the stuff we have at home in Montana." I said.
"Really? What else is there?" Eve asked. I told them about food like burgers, steak & ribs. All the stuff I knew they would love.
"Wow, sounds great!" Lilly said.
"Oh, it is." I said. "Well, we should be heading back now. Sun's almost down and never know what might be out here at night."
"Yeah, good point!" Eve said, looking around. We all got back in and started heading back. By the time we got back, my parents had already gone to bed since it was almost 11PM. I parked the car and we all got out.
"Eve, do you want to sleep inside tonight? It's a little warmer in there then out here. Not to mention safer." I asked.
"Yeah, I think I'd like that." Just then we all heard a loud howl coming from the valley.
"Nothing to worry about." She said. "Just a couple wolves at Howling Rock."
"Okay, started to get worried there for a bit." I said. "Come on, let's get inside."
We all walked in & I shut and locked the door behind us. "Lilly, where are you going to sleep?" I asked.
"Well, if it's okay, I'll sleep with my mom on the couch."
"Okay, come on." I said. They both hopped up on it and laid down. They fell asleep fairly quickly. I smiled at the view and went to my room to get my camera. I quietly went back to the couch and took a picture of them sleeping together. "Perfect!" I thought. Then I went back into the room to get ready for bed. The next couple days went by pretty smooth. Nothing tried to attack us.
Soon enough, it was Monday. My parents and I spent the day loading everything up and getting it ready to go. At about 3:30 that afternoon, we said goodbye to Eve and she started going south to the border to meet with her friends. We left shortly after and began the long drive home. I was driving my Jeep with Lilly in the passenger seat. I put together a playlist for the drive home. Lilly enjoyed every song on it. About halfway home, we saw a diner coming up and pulled over to eat dinner. We all got just a steak and soda. Lilly LOVED it! Then we continued home. About 10:30 that night we got home. My dad and I unhooked the RV and put the coolers and stuff up. We went inside to find mom and Lilly watching TV.
"So, found the TV already, huh?" I said.
"Yeah, it's kinda cool." she said.
"Well, tommorow, since I don't have school, I'll show you a movie I have that you'd probably like." I said, smiling.
"Really? What is it?" she asked.
"Can't tell you. It's a surprise." I said, laughing.
"Oh, alright...I'm getting tired now" she said, yawning.
"Okay, lets go to bed then." I said, picking her up. I walked to my bedroom and set her on the bed.
"OOH! Comfy!" She said, jumping around a bit. I watched her a bit and smiled.
"I'm going to take a shower real quick. Go ahead and get comfy wherever you want." I said.
"Okay." she said walking to the pillows. I went in and took a quick shower and dressed in a light pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. When I came out, she wasn't asleep yet. She was sitting there waiting for me.
"Hm, you smell nice. What is that?" she said, sniffing me.
"Oh, it's just some soap I use. It's called Axe Excite."
"Smells nice. Think I could use it?" She asked, smelling herself. "I haven't bathed since the attack."
"Sure, I can give you a bath real quick. Let me warm up the water first." A couple minutes later she walks in.
"Ready?" I ask. She nods and jumps in.
"Ooh, nice and warm..." she says.
"Yeah, sure beats ice cold water, huh?"
"Mm hm." I started washing the fur on her back, legs and head. After a few minutes, I rinse her off.
"Okay, all done."
"Not quite. Can you wash my stomach? It gets kinda sweaty."
"Uh, s-sure, I guess so." I said, nervously.
"It's alright, I trust you." She said, winking. She rolls over and lays on her back to allow better access. I start lathering the soap over her fur and stomach, making sure not to go TOO far down.
"Can you get just a bit lower? Lot of dirt gets stuck there..." she says, waving her paw over her lower regions.
"Are you sure? That's pretty close to...you know..." I said.
"It's alright, I don't mind. It's just a bath after all." she said, smiling.
"Okay, if you're sure." I start washing the rest of her body. I then hear her start moaning a bit.
"Wow, that feels good. Really relaxing..." she says, closing her eyes. After a bit, I rinsed her off and she jumps out. I grab a towel to dry her off. After that's done, she shakes her fur off to get rid of any extra water. We then head to the room for bed. She sleeps right next to the pillows and right next to my head. "Such a cute pup when she sleeps..." I thought. I finally fell asleep around midnight.
