Chapter 11: The same close death.
Humphrey woke up to Blaire's tail brushing his nose. It brushed his nos lightly and he was about to sneeze. He caught himself before he did and held it. Then exhaled slowly. He quietly got to his feet and walked to the entrance of the cave. It was still raining but not as hard as last night. He knew they had to keep moving, even through this storm. He looked back at Blaire who was still sleeping. Her tail was wagging and she had a smile on her face. She must be having a good dream. He sat down and stared out into the rain watching it. His chest felt someone had stabbed it.
He looked down at his chest but didn't find any wounds. So he guessed it must have been how he slept. He continued to watch the rain fall. Time seemed to slow down. The rain drops continued the fall but moved slower. Humphrey was able to see the drops clearly as if someone had took a picture of it. Time sped up again and the rain sped up.
"What the hell?" Humphrey asked himself confused at what just happened.
Blaire stirred and looked at Humphrey.
"Humphrey?" Blaire asked.
He turned around to face her.
"Good morning, you sleep well?" Humphrey asked putting a smile on his face.
"Yeah, did you?" Blaire asked while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"I slept fine." Humphrey answered.
Blaire got to her feet and stretched.
"You ready to go?" Humphrey asked.
"Yeah, lets go." Blaire answered and walked out into the rain.
Humphrey followed her and they continued on their way. Water puddles were everywhere and the ground was muddy. They walked in silence their ears still hurt a little from last night lightning strike.
"Our hearing isn't so good. We have to be careful and strain to hear." Humphrey thought in his head.
Lightning rumbled in the black clouds in the sky. Humphrey looked up at them. Rain started hitting his face. Soaking him completely. Blaire was trying not to get wet, but failed in the attempt. She slipped on the mud and crashed into a puddle of mud. Humphrey tried to hold in his laughter, as he helped her back to her feet.
She cursed under her breath as Humphrey helped her up.
"Nothing is funny Humphrey!" Blaire said trying not to laugh herself.
"Yeah, ok." Humphrey said laughing a little.
They continued walking through the rain, getting muddy and soaked from top to bottom. Blaire became impatient and took off forwards.
"Blaire, wait! Thats not a good idea!" Humphrey yelled after her.
Blaire didn't hear and kept running. Humphrey tore after her and slipped getting mud in his face.
"Damn it." Humphrey muttered and wiped it off.
He looked around for Blaire. She was nowhere in his sight.
"Great, fucking great." Humphrey groaned then started to search for Blaire.
The rain started to fall harder and his vision started to decrease. He could only see 2 feet then mist.
"HUMPHREY!" Blaire's scream pierced through the storm.
It came from somewhere infront of him.
"I'm coming!" Humphrey yelled and took off forward.
He dodged trees and slipped in mud. Mud now covered his body. He finally broke from the trees.
"Where are you!?" Humphrey yelled out.
"HUMPHREY!" Blaire screamed.
Humphrey ran forward and almost fell. He skid to a stop in front of a drop. He looked down and saw Blaire hanging on to a root that loooked like it was going to break any second.
"Think Humphrey think!" Humphrey whispered.
He looked around and saw some vines.
"Well then, that's familiar.." Humphrey whispered before running.
He took off and jumped at the vine. He latched his teeth to it and held. He swung around till he was right behind Blaire.
"Grab hold of my tail." Humphrey tried to say but it came out in a muffled voice.
Blaire realized what he said and bite his tail and held on. Humphrey's eyes widened the second she bit.
He held his grip on the vine and took the pain. He started to swing and Blaire started also. They swung back and forth, back and forth. They picked up momentum and Humphrey swung Blaire to safety.
Humphrey's grip gave out and he fell..
