A/N. Hello, everybody! I'm back with the latest installment in the beloved Humphrey's Life 2! Last chapter, even though it was dark, seemed to have got some love from the fans, which makes me very happy. Honestly, I thought I was going to receive some backlash because of how dark it was, but I guess not. I'll tell you one thing, though; this story is going to get a whole lot darker. Trust me, last chapter (on a scale of 1-10 for how dark it was) was only like a four. It'll probably get all the way up to a 9. I probably have something wrong with me, or it's just because I have a dark personality, I really don't have a clue. Anyway, if you guys/gals were wondering or thinking, Humphrey WILL return to Jasper, just like it said in the summary. He's just probably not going to return to Jasper until like Chapter 8 or 9. I have this story planned out, so I want to keep it that way. Anyway, let's just hop right into this chapter. Oh yeah, this chapter's not going to be that long. Probably 2,000 or 3,000 words, hell probably 1,500+

FoxyGuy87: "ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Just pls dont make us wait so long for the next chapter"

Response: I would like to apologize for how long it took me to write the third chapter. I was just going through some stuff that I'd rather not talk about. Plus, I had a massive writer's block, which I am now out of. Anyway, you're not going to have to wait like four months for another chapter anymore. Winter Break is in a couple of days and I'm planning to write some more chapters for From Friends to Enemies and Humphrey's Life 2. Hell, I might start one of my upcoming FanFictions early.

Braeden: "damn dude this was dark as shit but it was still great. i never thought kate would try to do that"

Response: Yeah, I kind of felt guilty after posting that chapter. I thought that it might've been way to dark for some people, but you guys/gals proved me wrong, once again. I'm planning for this story to go even darker than that, so we'll see what happens. This chapter, however, isn't going to be as dark as it's just in Humphrey's P.O.V. for the whole chapter. If it was in Kate's P.O.V., it would've been dark.

Previously on Humphrey's Life 2. . .

Humphrey arrives into Charleston extremely late at night. He didn't think he could drive any further without going to sleep, so he books a hotel room for a couple of days. He goes to sleep, but that leads to an extremely disturbing dream sequence that he will never forget. In the morning, he eats breakfast that the hotel provides for its guests, goes to drive around town a little bit, and goes back to the hotel to watch some football. However, while he was watching football, he started to think about Kate, which is the number one thing he did not want to think about. To get his mind off of Kate, he goes to a bookstore, gets a book, goes back to the hotel, and cracks it open to page one. After reaching a certain page, he takes a break and watches some more TV, to which he falls asleep again. Meanwhile in Jasper, Kate is sinking deeper and deeper into depression. She's laying in her bed crying, but that's all interrupted when there's a sudden knock on her door. It was Lilly, which Kate knew what she was trying to do. She didn't feel like talking to anybody at the moment, but Lilly starts talking, making Kate a little angry. It was when Lilly mentioned Humphrey when Kate unleashed all of her anger out on Lilly. She tries to do something that she never thought she would try to do. Skip ahead to school, her second period teacher sends her to the counselor, which she decides to be obedient. While she's talking to Mrs. Hill, the school counselor, she tells her, rather quickly, about what has happened to her in the last few weeks. Mrs. Hill was at a loss of words, making Kate angry. She drives home. Once she's in her driveway, she notices a piece of paper tangled in some leaves of a small tree. It was the note Humphrey taped to the door when he left.

Now on Humphrey's Life 2. . .

Chapter 4: Adapting

Humphrey's P.O.V

I woke up to no sunlight this time, that's something I'm not really used to. Every time I would wake up it would be because of the sun, but there wasn't blinds at this hotel, there was curtains. That's just only one of the handful of things that I'm going to have to get used to in order to live a new life. I'm going to have to get used to having no company, I'm going to have to get used to budgeting money, well, I've been doing that, it's just that I've hardly ever did it. Yeah, I'm going to have to adapt to this new environment. I rolled over and checked my phone to see the time; 9:30. 'Shit, I better get up and go eat some breakfast,' I thought to myself as I put the same clothes I've had on for the last couple of days and went downstairs to eat some breakfast. They were serving bacon, eggs, muffins, waffles, pretty much a combination between the other two times I've eaten here. I grabbed a plate, shoved some food onto it, and sat down at an open chair right in the middle of the room. I really hope nobody notices how I've been wearing the same clothes for the past couple of days, hell, I hope they don't notice my stench. I haven't taken a shower ever since I went unconscious back in Jasper, and that's probably a-week-and-a-half. I grabbed my shirt and held it up to my nose, yeah, it smelled like a dog shit and puked on it. 'I need to start taking better care of myself,' i thought as I continued eating until I was finished.

I went back to my room and grabbed my keys so that I could drive to the nearest clothing store and buy some new clothes. Nothing fancy, just casual. Hell, fancy clothes are probably like over $200 anyway. As I was walking to my car, I looked to my right and noticed a man walking dead towards me. I swiftly got in my car and locked the doors. Turned out the man just had his car next to mine and was just going somewhere. 'God, why do I have to be so paranoid?' I asked myself as I drove out of the parking lot and to the nearest clothing store. The only problem was that I had no clue to the whereabouts of this clothing store. I grabbed my phone and asked Siri, "Directions to the nearest clothing store." The result was a clothing store all the way back in Jasper. I tossed my phone on the passenger seat. "Fuck you, Siri." I said as I was just going to try and find it myself. "That wasn't very nice." Siri said as I shook my head and continued to look for Jasper.

It took me about thirty minutes before I finally spotted a clothing store out of the corner of my eye. It was pretty far away from the hotel, but hey, I'm not complaining. I walked inside, went over to the men's section, picked out random outfits, paid for them, and was off back to the hotel. 'Maybe I can watch some more Riverdale,' I thought to myself as I drove down the long road back to the hotel. It was about another thirty minutes until my destination was in sight, except this time it was different. There was a helicopter shining a light into one of the many rooms. It wasn't my room, thank the Lord. Drug bust, maybe? Did they find somebody who was living on the run? I don't know. I'm just happy that they weren't coming after me. I pulled into the driveway, shielding my eyes from all the dirt that was flying everywhere considering the helicopter was landing. I got out and sprinted back into the hotel with my bags in hand. Once I was inside, I walked over to the doorman, or doorwoman considering she was a woman, and asked her what the hell was going on. She told me that one of the state's most wanted criminals was staying here. Damn, thank God he didn't come near me.

I sighed in relief and went back to my room. I laid down on my bed, stretching out my worn-down body in the process. "Maybe I could stay here a little longer. I seem to be adapting very well. . ." I told myself as I picked out "Under the Dome" from my nightstand and began to pick up right where I left off.

Nobody's P.O.V.

He lays still on his bed, motionless, looking as if he was a mannequin at a JCPenny's. He feels as if he's been in this cell for centuries, just waiting until his time is done. Since he was a minor, his jail time was retracted to 58 years instead of 70. Nobody supported the judge's final decision, hell not even his family considering he murdered them in cold blood a couple of weeks ago. He was disappointed with himself. He hated the fact that he let Humphrey beat the shit out of him, for the fourth time in a row. Now look at where it's got him. He should be on the run for murdering people in cold blood, not in prison. He sits up on his bed, fingernails cutting into his palms because of how hard he was clenching his fists. He was angry, but not at someone, but at hisself. He screams out, throws his cot to the back wall and punches the wall as hard as he could for about thirty seconds before a guard bangs on the bars with his baton.

"HEY, DO THAT AGAIN AND IT'S A WEEK IN THE HOLE FOR YOU!" The guard yelled as he banged the bars again with his baton and continued with his patrolling duty. It was a maximum-security prison, so there's little to no chance that he can ever think about escaping this place.

He shoves himself against the wall and sinks down towards the dirty ground. He couldn't stand himself. Sometimes he'd even wished that he got the death sentence, he was so disappointed with himself. As he thinks about how he let himself down, his cellmate, nicknamed "Cutter," says, "I feel your pain, man. I feel it."

"You have no idea. . ." He manages to say as he puts pressure on the blood that was pouring out of his knuckles. Maybe he shouldn't have punched the wall that many times, ten times is enough.

Cutter chuckles to himself and says, "Ah, but I do. Anyway, I bet you just can't wait to get out of this place. Hell, I've been in this cell for twenty years." The person that was bleeding from his knuckles agreed with Cutter's comment. He really wanted to get out of here, except not for the reason because he hated it here, but because he wanted to kill Humphrey. Kate wasn't his priority now, it was Humphrey.

He laughed a little, laughing at the image inside of his mind. It was Humphrey with a bullet-hole in his head and a pool of blood surrounding his body. "Yeah, you're right about that. . ." He trailed off as he started to think of more ways to kill Humphrey. He wanted him to have a slow, painful death; not a fast, humane one.

Cutter got up and looked out of the bars trapping them inside. "Well, Garth, you're not gonna have to wait too long."

Garth picked his head up. "What're you saying?"

"We're busting out of here."

A/N. Aaaand that will conclude Chapter 4! Man, even though it was short, this chapter was extremely fun to write. Wow, I actually feel proud of myself. I haven't felt that since I finished Humphrey's Life. Anyway, I would like to say Merry Early Christmas to all of my supportive, amazing fans. I probably won't have time to post a new chapter, or story, on Christmas considering I'm gonna be pretty busy, but I'll see what I can do. Also, what did you guys/gals think of that ending? I loved writing that part, hell, I've always loved writing those parts. Also, I will be posting the newest chapter of From Friends to Enemies soon, so watch out for that! Anyway, I'm just gonna wrap it all up by saying, review, favorite, follow, or all of the above. Any of which is highly appreciated!
