Nuka and his pack were closing in on them. Humphrey and Lilly had nowhere to run. They were trapped.

"Give up," said Nuka menacingly. "There's nowhere to run."

Humphrey looked back over the edge of the cliff. He saw that way down below them was a slope, but it was to far down and he knew falling down there would kill them. He desperately scanned along the cliff wall to find a way that they might climb down. That was when he noticed an old log sitting by a tree stump on a ledge just a few feet below them. He got an idea.

"Lilly," he whispered to her. "On my signal, jump into that log down on that ledge below us." He gestured with his eyes off the cliff behind him.

"What?" she muttered back as she glanced behind her at the log on the ledge.

"Just do it. Trust me."

Nuka and the gray wolf and the red wolf beside him moved forwards towards them.

"Now!" Humphrey whispered to Lilly. He and her leapt backwards of the edge, and down onto the ledge below, landing in the log.

"Hang on tight," Humphrey said behind Lilly.

Lilly let out a scared whimper, as she finally understood what Humphrey was doing, and fearfully gripped the edges of the log as tightly as she could.

Above them, Nuka and his pack looked down over the edge of the cliff at them.

"You're crazy!" said Nuka.

'Look who's talking,' thought Humphrey as he pushed off with his foot and launched the log-sled over the ledge.

"Aaaaahhhh!" Lilly and Humphrey both screamed as they plummeted down toward the slope below. Their stomachs got that upset feeling one gets when going down a rollercoaster. Lilly leaned back so far that her back was touching Humphrey's chest. Humphrey prayed he had made the right decision.

They crashed onto the slope below and began sliding down the slope. The log protected them from the hard ground.

"Yes!" laughed Humphrey. Lilly was still screaming, but was gradually quieting down. Humphrey looked behind them. Nuka and his pack were still at the top of the cliff, watching them speed away.

Nuka growled as he watched the two omegas disappear out of sight down the mountain.

"Shall we search for them, your highness?" asked Tom, the gray alpha next to Nuka.

"No," he said. "Let them go. We don't need them anyway. They already gave me all the information we need." Nuka turned away from the edge of the cliff and walked over to a large rock and leapt up on top of it so the whole pack could see him. "My loyal pack members," he shouted. "Prepare to leave the mountain, for I have learned of a new home for us. A home rich with caribou. Prepare to travel north, and prepare for war!"

"Humphrey, are you sure about this?" yelled Lilly back to him.

"Don't worry," he shouted reassuringly. "I do this all the time."

Humphrey saw they were heading straight for some boulders. "Angle left," he directed, showing Lilly how to move the board with her paws. She did, and they slid past the boulders.

The trees were coming up fast, and Humphrey and Lilly were still a long way from the bottom of the mountain.

"Roll left!" Humphrey shouted. They shifted left and sped past a tree. "Roll left again!" They dodged in between two trees. "Now roll right." They did.

They continued sliding downhill, dodging trees and boulders as they went. They were starting to slow a bit now, as the land was beginning to level out, much to Lilly's relief.

Suddenly a stump came up in their path. Lilly saw it before Humphrey did. "STUMP!" she shouted.

It was too late. With a crash, the log-sled smashed into the stump head on. The log flipped up and over, sending Humphrey and Lilly flying.

"Aaahh!" They both screamed as they flew through the air. They landed on the ground next to each other with a thud. The log twirled overhead of them until it crashed into a tree.

They both groaned as they got to their feet.

"Are you alright?" Humphrey asked Lilly.

"Yeah," she said shakily. Then she let out a weak laugh. "That was actually kind of fun," she said.

Humphrey grinned, glad that she had enjoyed his favorite sport, and also glad that they had gotten away from that psychotic lion and his pack.

Suddenly Humphrey winced in pain. That was when Lilly noticed bleeding claw marks on his side where Nuka had hit him.

"Humphrey, you're hurt!" said Lilly, concerned.

"I'm alright," he said, grabbing his side. "It's not that bad."

Lilly was amazed that Humphrey had pushed her out of the way to save her from Nuka's attack and took the blow himself. She was becoming more and more attracted to him.

Then Humphrey remembered. "Oh, no," he said.

"What?" asked Lilly.

"Nuka and his pack are going to attack Jasper Park," said Humphrey.

Lilly gasped as she remembered too. "Oh, no."

"Errr," Humphrey growled in frustration as he realized that they had even unintentionally told him how to get to Jasper Park. The railroad northwest from where they were. It passed right by Jasper. "And because of us, he now knows how to get to Jasper," he said.

"What are we gonna do?" asked Lilly.

Humphrey realized they were the only ones who could do anything about this. It was up to them, two omegas, to try to save the day. "We have to get back to Jasper and warn the pack," he said, "before it's too late."

Lilly was doubtful. She didn't know if they would be able to get back to the pack before Nuka and his pack got there. She was also torn about going back to the pack after she had run away. On one hand she missed her family, but on the other hand she wasn't looking forward to seeing Garth, the alpha who had broken her heart. Humphrey felt similar to Lilly about Kate, but they both knew that the matter at hand was way more important than their personal issues.

Lilly nodded in agreement.

"Come on," said Humphrey, as he turned to start heading northward.

"Humphrey…" said Lilly.

He stopped and turned back to look at her.

Lilly spoke. "About what Nuka said back there in his den. It's not true. You're not a loser. You're not a reject. You're a really great guy. And don't ever think otherwise."

Humphrey smiled. "Thanks," he said, glad that she thought so. An awkward moment passed between them as they gazed at each other. Then Humphrey remembered their situation. "Uh… we better get going."

"Right," said Lilly.

They took off and started heading northward as fast as they could.

A/N: I seriously nearly cried when I was rereading this chapter and got to the part where Lilly say's "You're not a loser. You're not a reject. You're a really great guy. And don't ever think otherwise." How about you? Anyway, Remember; please feel free to give your ideas as to what you think should happen later on in the story if you want to. Take it easy.
