Here's the real chapter ten this time! Enjoy it!


Humphrey POV

Everyone has fallen asleep. That is, everyone but me. I can't seem to bring myself to sleep. With all the bumps in this track there's no way I could get to sleep, but the main reason is I'm too busy worrying about whether or not the pack will accept us. I really hope that they will. Everything I have ever known is within the western territory. Of course it is, I grew up there.

I know all of the smells, all of the sights, and most importantly, Jasper is where all my friends are. I don't know if I could ever live anywhere else. Don't get me wrong, sawtooth is a nice place, but the smells of sawtooth are just that, the smells of sawtooth. The smells of Jasper are the smells of home. It's where I belong.

Another large bump shook me from my thoughts. I decided to walk to the open door to look at the near full moon as it was slipping behind a cloud. If this gets any worse someone's gonna end up falling o...

We hit a huge bump again and I wasn't braced for it. It threw me out of the car and onto the cold, hard ground head first. I felt the impact, then everything went black.

Kate POV

The cart jolted, ripping me out of my slumber. I looked to see if it had woken anyone else up, but all I could see was darkness.

"What was that?" I asked, mainly just to see if anyone else was awoken by it.

"Just another bump I guess." Paddy said after a few seconds.

"Anyone else up?" I asked into the darkness. My only reply was Marcel's snoring.

"I'm going to take that as a no." Paddy joked.

"Well, I guess I'll just go back to sleep then." I said.

"Goodnight Kate."

"Night paddy."

Humphrey POV

"Where am I?" I groaned as I sat up, raising a paw to my aching head. I turned to see I was next to the train tracks, then it all came back to me. I had fallen off the train last night. "Great, now what am I gonna do?" I decided to get away from the tracks. I didn't want to risk an encounter with humans. As I entered the woods I smelled that something was off. I looked around trying to find out where it was coming from. As I looked toward a group of pines. I saw a streak of silvery gray through the trees. "It's probably just nothing." I decided before moving on. I began walking again but only took a few steps before a wolf jumped me from behind.

"What are you doing here?" He snarled.

"I.. I was just passing through." I stuttered.

"That's what they all say." He growled. I tried to free myself, but as I started moving he knocked me out.

Kate POV

I woke up to the sun shining into my eyes. I turned away from it to see Marcel sitting over paddy, who was still sleeping.

"Morning Marcel!" I said cheerfully.

"Good morning indeed, and look who is missing it!" He replied pointing to paddy. "He is quite the heavy sleeper. I bet he could sleep through anything. Ah, but not me. I sleep so light that even the slightest breeze would wake me." He announced. I couldn't help but laugh to myself, remembering his snoring last night.

Then suddenly I realized "Where's Humphrey?!" Marcel swung around to face where Humphrey had been sleeping, hitting paddy's face in the process.

"What's going on?" Paddy asked after being woken by Marcel.

"Humphrey is missing!" Marcel informed him.

"He must have fallen off last night!" Paddy realized.

"Why would he have fallen off? It's not like this is a rough ride." Marcel questioned.

"It was last night." Paddy argued.

"No it wasn't! I would have been woken by it if it was rough." Marcel countered.

"Guys, this is no time to fight! We have to get off here and find Humphrey." I said.

Humphrey POV

I woke up with an even worse headache than last time. I looked around, expecting to be in the woods, but Instead I saw that I was in a den. I looked to the mouth of the den to see a silver-gray wolf watching me intently with his blue eyes.

He turned his head to look outside. "Mathew, he's up." I heard him say in the same voice as the wolf who jumped me in the woods.

Soon another wolf came into the den. He was bigger than the other wolf and had fur that was completely black, with the exception of the white lightning bolts on either side of his body and the thin white streak coming from the top of his head running all the way down one side of his muzzle, and bright yellow eyes. This must be Mathew, I thought to myself. "Thank you Athos." He dismissed the other wolf.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me.

"I really don't know." I confessed. "One minute I was on the train, heading back home, the next minute I wake up by the tracks, then he jumped me and, and now I'm here." I pointed toward to the silver-gray wolf.

"I see." He said gruffly. He just stared at me in silence.


A little bit of a twist, huh? What do you think of Mathew? He's my OC. Thank you to AthosRanoxy for Athos. Please review!
