At The River Side

Lilly was walking on the path to the river. This morning she wake up and found that she was alone. Garth was gone and left no note.

Maybe he has a duty today. She thinks to comfort herself.

"But we are married! At least leave a note or something." Her complaint to the air. Of course, no respond.

"I wish he can have a day off. Then I won't be along now."

She HATE to be alone. Thought she was already used to it, she still HATE it.

The identity of the pack leader's daughter can really scared away most of the pups. That make she and Kate can only play with each other when they are still pups, until Humphrey came.

The scene they found Humphrey still printed in her head. A dirty wet new born pup lay next to two mangled adult wolf's body.

They believe those are his parent. Form the scratch on the bodies; they guess his parents are running away from something. But dead of losing blood, before his mother dead she gave birth Humphrey, but left his two brothers and one sister stillborn.

Then her father and mother adopt Humphrey, but never ask him to call them mother or father. They never told him about the horrible things happened on his parent, either. They just told him when he born they died. Humphrey just live with them like the kids from Relatives come for an overnight.

Since then they become good friend. Once they get older. Humphrey gets his own den. And found some same – sex friend to play with. After Kate left for alpha school, she becomes alone.

She keep thinking about the past, didn't pay attention on the walking. When she realized she is already at the edge of the river, she stops immediately. One more step she might be falling in to the river in a very funny way.

She look around the river to see has any one saw her. For her Relieved no one was nearby.

She walks in to the river. Start cleaning herself.

Then she fall back to her memories again.

In that three month she knows the true meaning of the lonely. And how cruelty that word can be. She asked to play with the others. In the beginning every things is normal. She run, climes, swim as a usual pups.

But when her mom threat the other pups about if she get hurt then she will do something horrible to them. It all comes to an end. Only some pups will asked to play with her.

She refused them. She just doesn't want the get hurt because of her. A month later no one except Humphrey would want to talk with her.

She starts to hide her face under her hair, don't want to late any one see her Recurrent tears.

Then she used to it. Not willing to put up her hair anymore.

"Lilly is that you?" a familiar voice wake her from her memory.

She look to the source of that sound, And saw her rain toward her.

Eve was on her way to find Kate and Humphrey. When she passes by the river, she saw a white spot in the middle of the river. Not sure what it is, she decided to find out. When she identified that white spot was a wolf. She blows up.

"What the hell are you doing in the middle of a river? And where the hell is Garth?" she yelled.

"Oh, hi mom." Lilly said. Walk back to the edge of the river. Shake her fur dry.

"Answered my question!" Eve yelled.

"Well I am cleaning up myself." Lilly confused answered. Not knowing that her mate's father had just pissed off her mother.

"What? Garth did anything to you?" eve yelled to her daughter again. She swears in her mind if garth did that thing before mating season. She will …

"No! Mom it is just a usual cleaning!" Lilly defend her mate. Wondering what did she said or what had she done make her mother mad.

"Oh, I am sorry Lilly. I shouldn't yell at you. I just…I just…" eve apologized to her daughter as soon as she find out she is pouring her anger on her daughter.

"You are just not in good mood. I know mom. It is okay." Lilly said, being considerate as usual.

It is sound weird that the reason that she have to being alone for one and a half month is because of her mother's over-protection. But Lilly just can't blame on her mother. Maybe that is because she is the one of the three wolf would like to talk to her during that time, or maybe because she already have Garth now. The passed things are not important anymore.

"Lilly, you are so considerate. Thanks you. By the way where is Garth?" Eve quickly change the topic. Don't want to think about that dangerous topic anymore.

"I though you are the one who arranged him to go hunt with Kate. Don't you remember?" Lilly said. She can tell that her mom is really strange today.

"Oh yes! I though they will be married today. "Eve said. That why she put him to the team today.

"Mom!" Lilly complained.

"Ok, Lilly if Garth cross the line remember to tell me. I will take care of him." Eve said. Remember about that boy's father.

Thought she didn't blame at her mom for the old things, but she think now is time to let her mother know her real feeling of her over-protective

"Mom I think I have something to tell you."

Ok! I think this can explain Lilly's behaviors in the movies. Actually I really like Lilly this character. She is always considerate, kind, lovely, and Pitiful. In my observation she will hide the pain in her heart, won't talk about it unless someone asked her. I love her very much. She will be play an important role in this story.

There is some of Humphrey's past in this chapter. There will be more. And the week end is coming. I think I can try to make more update.

Hope you like it.
