Chapter 10: To Be or Not To Be
Humphrey P.O.V.
He was waking up, or I was. I don't know how to say it, so I'll just call it him for now. He was waking up. It was strange, I saw everything through his eyes, and it felt like it was me, but it wasn't. I could feel my legs, but couldn't control them; I could feel my eyelids, but couldn't make them blink. It was such a strange feeling. He was waking up, and I couldn't stop it. He was just now on the outside, and now I was on the inside.
"He's getting up!" I heard a wolf say.
"Wait!" he said. "Don't, I'm still in control!"
"How do we know that?" one of them said.
"Get Kate and Winston, they'll be able to tell." he said.
"No, don't do it!" I shouted, but nothing came out in the real world. I was nothing to them. I was just witnessing everything going on. I might as well be dead, all I could do was watch in horror as he tricks the other wolves into thinking it's me.
Shut up Humphrey! Just relax and watch it unfold.
I couldn't do anything as the other wolves talked it over and brought him over to the alpha den; atleast they had many wolves around him, including Garth, making sure he doesn't do anything.
They stopped him outside as Kate, I could hear, was crying as she came running out. She stopped in fear that he would do something, but she quickly noticed the guards around him.
Michael started, "Excuse me miss, but Humphrey woke up and said that we could tell if it was really him or not if you talked to him."
She was confused by his statement. "How do you know about that?" she said as she started to wipe tears from her eyes.
"Winston told us while you went running after Humphrey." he explained. "Now, before you keep asking more questions to me, how about you see if this is the real Humphrey or not."
"Okay" she said. "Umm… what's your name?"
"Humphrey, but I think you'll need to ask something more than that Kate."
"Okay, well, what joke did I say to you on the train when we were just arriving back?" she said with a smirk.
"You said 'do you have to go again?'"
"Umm, close enough. How about…" she paused, "Do you love me Humphrey?"
I started yelling even though no one could hear me, "Yes Kate! I love you! I will always love you no matter what!"
Then he said, "I'm sorry Kate, I used to love you, but it's too late now."
She started to cry. I thought that she was believing him, and crying that he/I didn't love her. She then did something I'd never expect, and I now love her much more for this.
"He isn't the real Humphrey, he is lying to get close to me." at this, the other wolves grabbed him/me and held us down tightly.
He was surprised as well, "No, it's me Kate. I just don't love you any more. You can't kill me for that."
"The real Humphrey would love me for no matter what, you are an imposter that has taken away my Humphrey, give him back!"
"Well darn, you exposed me, but your Humphrey is gone. He is gone and he will never see you again."
"Stop!" I yelled.
"Shut up Humphrey!" he said.
"What did you just say?"
The other me had made a big mistake.
"I said for you to shut up!"
"No, you said for Humphrey to shut up!" she then started yelling out to me. "Humphrey! I know you can hear me, beat this bastard and come back to me, I can't stand to be here without you."
I started to try, the other me and I started to have a mental fight. I'm sure to others it looked like I was constipated for how hard I was trying to fight this demon that had taken me. I was yelling out to Kate hoping that I could get something out.
After what seemed like hours of fighting, I broke him enough to say three words:
"I love you."
How was that? After last chapters reviews, I decided that I'd like to do each chapter in Humphrey to Kate's Point of View. So in other words, I'll be doing one chapter in Humphrey's P.O.V., then Kate's in the next. Anyways, R.&R., PM me any ideas or thoughts to happen next in the story, and read for enjoyment.
