Just A Dream?

Lilly let out a ragged cough as she struggled to breathe. It had been hours since they had stopped by the river and her condition was getting worse. Kate glanced over worriedly, making sure her sister was okay as she lay curled up on he cold metal floor. She softly sang a lullaby that her mother used to calm them down when they were pups. It worked, Lilly's breathing slowed down and she slipped into a deep sleep. This left Kate alone with her thoughts, she had never been this scared before. Scared for her sister's life scared for her own, worried she may never make it home. Now she was on the verge of tears but she held them back trying to be strong for Lilly. Her sister was lucky being an omega, having no responsibilities gave Lilly a lot of free time. Everyday Kate had a dozen jobs that needed to be done and by the time the sun went down she was exhausted, being an alpha wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Nonetheless Kate got up the next day and repeated her schedule again and again which didn't give her much time to lead a social life. For as long as she could remember the only friends she had were Humphrey and Lilly, but now they were growing closer and Kate was being pushed farther away. Which she didn't mind too much if Lilly was happy and most of the time Humphrey was driving her insane anyways. She was still affected by it though; it left her feeling utterly alone sometimes.

Kate thought things would change after meeting Garth at the Moonlight Howl, unfortunately he turned out to be a huge jerk who couldn't even howl. He threatened to turn the whole Eastern Pack against the West Pack if she didn't marry him. She would rather be thrown off of a cliff than marry that worm. Yet he frightened her, so Kate explained that she would consider it and would give him an answer in the morning. Garth agreed and left her trembling on top of the howling rock. Marry a nutcase or start a war that could last decades, either way her future looked pretty bleak. Lilly stirred slightly and raised her head opening her drowsy eyes.

"Humphrey...n-need find him, he...he's hurt." she moaned.

"Lilly I'm sure Humphrey is perfectly fine. He is back at, home..." she trailed off remembering that she may not ever see Jasper again. Lilly slipped back to sleep, back to her dreams. Kate followed suit and laid her head down trying to shut out the world as she closed her eyes.

Lilly had never dreamt like this before they never felt this real. She was soaring high above the clouds feeling the wind on her face, looking down on the jagged mountains springing up like teeth of a ferocious monster. A beam of light shot up from the forest, slicing through the night. Humphrey's voice called out to her like a whisper in the breeze. She glided gracefully towards the pulsing column of energy. As she drew closer Lilly saw the origin of the light, a lifeless body surrounded by blood.

"Humphrey no!" she screamed but nothing came out. Drifting down towards him tears formed in her eyes. As they dripped onto the injured omega's matted fur all of his wounds began to heal. Humphrey's eyes snapped open the moment she touched him causing Lilly to scream again.

"Lilly what are you doing here?" he asked taken aback by her sudden appearance.

"I should be asking you the same question Humphrey." she chided.

"Believe it or not I'm actually here to rescue you." he paused. "And I guess your sister."

"But what happened to you?" she implored.

"What this? Well, Garth seemed to think it was a good idea to push me down this here cliff. But this is nothing, luckily I didn't hit my head to hard. So I shouldn't be anymore messed up than I usually am." he joked flashing a smile. "But there is one thing I need you to do for me Lil'."

"I'll do anything." she begged pulling Humphrey in close out of fear of losing him. He wrapped his arms around Lilly and leaned towards her ear.

"I need you to wake up." he whispered softly.

Opening her eyes quickly Lilly sat bolt up right gasping for breath. She was in the middle of a dimly lit cave that was big enough for her to stand up in. Stalactites dripped droplets of water onto the cavern floor creating a light pinging sound. Lilly's mind raced, she had no idea of where she was or how she got here. Kate was nowhere in sight, she was all alone. Lilly attempted to stand but immediately toppled to the ground.

"Hey take it easy, you're going to get hurt even worse if you try that." a deep voice comforted. A large jet-black wolf stepped from the shadows moving towards Lilly. He had a slightly gaunt face with large grey eyes and scar just above his mouth.

"The name's Shade and don't worry about your sister, she's outside if you want to see her." he boomed, his voice reverberating off of the smooth walls.

"Lilly your awake!" Kate screamed embracing her sister who had just emerged from the darkness. Kate explained how Shade and his band of wolves had saved them from the hunters when they stopped to sleep. Lilly had no recollection of the event, not even the slightest memory but she did have a dream. A dream of Humphrey and how he had been hurt by, Garth. The name left a foul taste in her mouth. How could he do such a thing she thought, Humphrey is so innocent. After Shade had left to check on the other wolves Lilly told Kate about her dream.

"You expect that witless Omega to come rescue us? No offense but he'll die before he can get here." she scoffed.

"Would you rather it be Garth who finds us?" Lilly snapped. Kate made a disgusted face as she shook her head. "Cause he is still out there and he is probably looking for us, or more particularly you." Lilly finished, walking back into the cave leaving her alpha sister alone in the dark forest.
