Wow, I've lasted ten chapters on at least two stories. And they all suck! Exactly how do you guys read this? I reread this and the errors I couldn't even believe I missed them like oh my! Anyway here is TBOL #10 enjoy!

Humphrey's POV

I've been in here for about a week now. It's Monday all over again. At least I think it is. I can't do much here. When I first got here wolve's who were like ten times my size just gave me a "warm welcome!" They said "So buddy your in here for burning your house, and killing your parents! Bet you think you're cool! How about a warm welcome!" After that, I got beat up. I was taken to the infirmary after by another person. Of course, I was in Juve but I mean I'm a 14-year-old pacifist who a 17-year-old wolf who looked like he lifted 1,000 pounds a day. The wolf who brought me became my best friend in here. His name is Gerald. Just like me, he was wrongfully accused. His trial is tomorrow and I wish him luck.

He is in transit to Ottowa since his trial caught their eye. Salty visited me and said that things are looking good for my trial as they haven't found any good evidence. They are looking at the security camera my Dad bought. I remember that week. We practically had food since he bought that. Anyway if they can see the footage that they are trying so hard to repair it will clear my name, maybe. I hope they can recover it. My trial is on Wednesday. I had been cooking for money. I had bought a book to pass the time. The book is called Elsewhere. It's about a girl who is dead and now lives in Elsewhere. The book has a lot to it. Many lovable characters, a unique storyline, and a mixed emotion ending.

Right now I'm trying to sleep. I've done everything I was supposed to today and I don't want to read. I've got nothing to do. I heard a knock at the door. "Come out of there buddy, people are here to see you!" The voice was similar. It was Officer Hobbs, he is probably my favorite officer here. He actually believed me when I told him I didn't kill my parents. He has been kind to me since I've been here. I walked out with a smile. "Ahh, there we go, You got a great smile bud. Come on let's go." We walked through the hallway. As we were about to make it to the phones he said: "Hey don't worry about Wednesday man, You'll be proven innocent, nothing so far can really work against you."

"Thanks, Officer H," I said as he made me feel a little more relaxed. We made it to the phones and I saw Kate and Salty there. "Hey," I said with a smile. I was so happy to see them.

The greeted me back. Salty decided to get into the meat and bones "Well it seems like so far you'll be fine due to a lack of evidence. They can't find anything. Everything they have found is completely irrelevant!" he said a little cheery.

"I think the fact that this is a case is completely stupid!" Kate said in a loud whisper. I had to agree with her. Salty and I nodded our heads.

"Yeah it is but I mean I think they did it as a precaution or something," I said trying to be optimistic about this whole situation.

"It hurts to see the bruises on you," Kate said looking at the bruises I had received by that guy. The bruises still hurt. I also had a black eye and my leg feels weird. I don't think it's sprained but it's definitely a little busted. I can walk or, rather limp but, it hurts sometimes when I move it.

"Yeah, they hurt!" I said with a chuckle. I don't want to feel sad right now. "Anyway, how's school?" I asked.

"Well, the school is half and half. Some of them are being smart knowing you wouldn't do something like that and others are blinded by fear and spreading hatred about you. The people who are hating you are going after me, Shakey, and Mooch for it." Salty said a little frustrated.

I felt so bad. Since I was accused they had to suffer. "I'm sorry Salty," I said Resisting the urge to cry.

Salty told me it was okay. We talked about what would happen after I got out. They said that I wasn't gonna be able to live back at Salty's. That meant I was most likely gonna have to stay at a foster home.

The thirty minutes of our talking was up and I was escorted back to my room. I decided to get some rest. Tomorrow was my day before I went to the Jasper courthouse.

Wednesday

I'm in the courthouse. We have to wait for my lawyer (paid by Kate bless her soul) and the prosecutors. (Forgive me if I used the wrong label). Once the rest arrived plus a cameraman the bailiff started. "All rise". Once we all stood up he continued. Everyone was in a formal suit or dress. "Please welcome to the court the honorable Judge Ms. Henderson". Once he said that an elderly wolf came into the room.

She got in her seat and said in a loud voice "Court is in session!". After that everyone sat down. "Prosecutors, you may say your opening statements," the judge said.

A man got up. I don't know who he is but I know he wants me in jail so I reasonably don't like him. "Good Morning your honor, jury-" he started looking from the judge, to the jury, and back at the judge. "We are gathered on this fine day for the case of Humphrey DaSilva. He has been accused of destruction of property and murder! Now I will not state that he is guilty but I feel it is likely that he may be, in fact guilty. Today's session we hope to prove that statement. Thank you for listening to our opening statement"

The judge only nodded. She did not seem amused by his statement. "Okay Defendant please, your opening statement".

My lawyer was Michelle Kelly. Kate had told me that she was the best in the business. "Good Morning your honor, and to you, jury. My client has been accused of not only murdering his parents but also burning down his own house. I am here to prove that these accusations are false. Though the evidence is slim it is enough for us to prove this poor child's innocence. Thank you for your time, your honor"

The judge again nodded, she wasn't amused by us either. I felt a bit of panic set in. "Prosecutor first piece of evidence or any witness?" the judge said.

The prosecutor stood up with a smile. "I would like to show you two pictures. The pictures show two dead bodies. This first one is now a bit of bone and a whole lot of ash. We confirmed this to be the father. Now you can barely see there is a knife covered in a bit of ash. This was the weapon used to kill the father. Now the second picture is of a woman. She has a knife on her back and is in the front yard. Once again a knife was used. We broke down what we think happened," The judge paid close attention to what this man was about to say. They showed me and the lawyer the picture. I felt so sick when I had seen them. I was barely able to hold back the gags before but this time I just couldn't. The people moved on and the prosecutor continued.

"We feel that on the night of September 6, 2018, a Sunday, Humphrey DaSilva came home at about 6:55. He got inside in what we guessed was an angry mood. We believe that he got two knives and killed his father. His mother ran out of the house and he chased. She only made it to the front yard until she was stabbed in the back. He then proceeded to try and hide the fact he did this by lighting the house on fire" he said. The jury seemed to have bought it.

The judge had a different look on her face. She looked confused, "Okay, you told me a likely story. Though I see two huge problems. The mother was still found outside and how could he light the house?" she countered.

The prosecutor's face seemed to turn red. He stuttered, "W-Well we haven't figured that out". The judge seemed to not like his answer.

"Defendant, you have any witnesses or any evidence?" Judge Henderson said. I looked at my lawyer hoping she had something.

She gave me a relaxing look. She stood up calmly and stated "Your honor I would like to close this case. Earlier today some footage was recovered that will shut this case closed and prove my client innocent."

Okay, I wanted to make this a little different but what I had thought of was really fake so I changed it. This is still a little fake but it's better. I hope you all enjoyed reading or listening to this chapter and I'll see you beautiful people in the next chapter!
