Chapter 7: A new Feeling

Humphrey's Pov

I was running what felt hours nonstop towards the pack healers den with tears running down my muzzle and my left paw burning in pain but I ignored it and kept running until I arrived at the pack healers den, It was crowded with many wolves standing outside talking with each other wondering what happened, they all looked at me and started whispering among themselves but I ignored it and walked inside the den, when I was halfway in I got stopped by Winston.

"Humphrey follow me" he said to me with a sad voice.

He walked outside with me following close behind with my head hanging low, Winston saw the crowd of wolves outside and got slightly angry.

"Everybody go home or continue your duties I will explain everything later in a pack meeting" Winston said with a demanding voice.

Winston waited a few moments after everybody was gone and only us two where left in front of the pack healers den.

"How is he doing sir?" I asked worried.

"Humphrey I'm not going to lie to you and tell you the truth…Humphrey Garth might not make it" he said he's voice full of hurt and sorrow.

"No this can't be happening, he's going to make it" I said with new fresh tears starting to pour.

"Want to go inside and see him?" Winston asked me.

"y-yes s-sir" I said quietly crying.

Winston went inside and I saw Lilly, Kate, Tony and a few other wolves including the pack healers they all looked sad and Lilly's eyes were red a sign that she had been crying, after everybody left Winston and I where the only ones inside the den.

"I'll give you some time alone Humphrey and I will be in front of the den so nobody can come in son" Winston said walking outside.

I went deeper inside the den and saw Garth lying on the ground, dried up blood on he's fur around all the wounds at his sides, the sight of how he looked made me tear up again it's all my fault that he's dying if I hadn't yelled that stampede would have never of happened, I sat down next to he's bloodied body.

"I'm sorry Garth, I'm so sorry it's all my fault" I said on the verge of tears again.

I lowered my muzzle so I was next to his face and whispered into his ear.

"Thank you Garth for saving my life I will always owe you for that" I said whispering into his ear.

After that I started licking his fur cleaning it up it's the least I could do, I avoided the wounds to prevent from hurting him, it took me several minutes to fully clean his fur at his side, I couldn't help but blush a little at what I just did but it didn't last long as I remembered what Winston told me.

I started walking back outside where I saw Winston lying on the ground looking towards the forest.

"Winston, sir" I said getting his attention.

"Yes, Humphrey?" he said sitting up straight opposite from me.

"Can I ask you something?" I said nervously shuffling my paws.

"Of course Humphrey why'd you ask? You know you can ask me anything and everything" he said confused why I asked that question.

I moved until I was to his ear and whispered something into his ear, I sat back down and he just looked at me wide eyed, I looked at him nervously I saw him shake his head.

"I don't know what to say Humphrey…I-I just" he said but didn't finish his sentence.

He looked at me straight into my eyes and signed.

"Humphrey…you're like a son to me and I know you're feeling horrible about what happened with Garth and you blame yourself for what happened, right" he said in a sad voice.

"Yes, sir" I said nodding.

"I will allow it because I care for you Humphrey and because there's a possibility that he won't make it, I promise you I will keep this a secret between us and I will call for a pack meeting and inform them about Garth's condition and I will tell them to not come here until tomorrow morning" he said smiling weakly.

I just went up to him and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you dad" I said letting a few tears run down my muzzle onto his shoulder.

He returned the hug and after ten seconds of hugging I pulled back and started walking back into the den while he went towards the feeding grounds to begin the pack meeting.

Winston's Pov

I was walking already for several minutes until I arrived at my den, I sat down in front of my den and howled into the sky to call for a pack meeting, ten minutes passed and the last wolves finally arrived and sat down, Eve sat down next to me and they all waited for me to speak up.

"As some of you know there had been and accident this morning at the hunting grounds a stampede struck the morning hunting group" I said.

Several wolves gasped and others started shouting.

"What happened and are they okay!?" shouted a wolf from the group.

"Calm down everybody!" I yelled loud enough for them to hear me

Everybody went silent and I continued speaking

"What happened was the caribou they went after escaped and ran back to its herd and triggered a stampede and sadly Garth was caught in the stampede and is now in critical condition at the pack healers den" I said.

Everybody gasped just staring at me with concern and sad looks.

"I don't want anybody near the pack healers den till tomorrow morning, and when I say nobody I really mean nobody, that was it you're all dismissed" I said turning to face my mate.

"Honey I will be gone until tomorrow morning I have a promise to keep" I said giving her a kiss on the cheeks.

"Okay but hurry back we have some unfinished business" she said winking at me.

"I will" I said giving her a passionate kiss on the lips we departed and I stared running towards the pack healers den.

On the way towards the pack healers den Kate came up to me and was asking where Humphrey was and I told her he needed some time alone so she nodded and went back towards her and Humphrey's den to sleep.

I have been running for five minutes until I arrived at the pack healers den entrance and called out for Humphrey, he walked outside and sat down in front of me.

"Humphrey the pack meeting is over, I will be sleeping outside to make sure nobody goes inside and I have told Kate you needed some time alone so don't worry about her" I said smiling weakly.

"Thank you…dad" he said smiling weakly also.

"No problem Humphrey, go get some sleep son it's getting late" I said lying down.

He nodded and walked back inside.

"He will survive Humphrey don't worry" I whispered to myself.

Humphrey's Pov

I walked back inside the den and stopped next to Garth just looking at his body he's side rising and fall as he breathed in and out, I kept staring at him for several minutes until I yawned, I lied down next to Garth.

"I'm sorry Garth" I whispered before falling asleep next to Garth.

Well hello there again, looks like Winston and Humphrey have a secret hmm…I wonder what it is, poor Garth is dying by the looks of it how sad :( but I'm sure if u review he will have a better chance of surviving haha…but serious tell me what u think about this chapter and for those who haven't noticed yet I have been writing in a different style, tell me if it's better than how I wrote before, Till next time Humphrey d Omega.
