Chapter 12 The fall.
A/N: When you read this I have to apologize for the poor quality for a chapter like this.
Daniel and I walked through night over to the pack grounds to the leaders den. I was worrying the entire way. But there it was, the hill leading up to the den.
"Humphrey come here, I have a secret I need to share." Daniel said. I walked to him steadily trying to figure out what he was going to say in my head. He whispered something in my ear I would never forget.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes and it's basically a one time thing. So we have to use it wisely." He said.
"Well, let's go. You know what you're going to do?" I nodded. "Then let's go."
We walked up the winding hill and at the top the leader was waiting. He looked like he was to kill me right here and and now, but he didn't. He walked toward us he had two guards, one on each side of him. We stopped walking and the leader walked up to me. He stared me down in the eyes and I looked right back. Then he looked at Daniel.
"Now that you have turned in this rebel, you can have any whore in my den. I've got plans for this one." He said.
"Yessir thank you sir." Daniel said. At that moment the leader put a trick up my sleeve. I pulled Daniel close to me and said.
"I'm going to kill you." I said loudly so the leader would think I had nothing in mind. Then I whispered, "pick Chloe," to him. The leaders guards pulled me away from him. But he gave me a wink and walked inside his den. Then the leader walked up to me.
"So you try to kill my troops too. When I'm through with you, Death will be you mercy." He said getting up in face. His guards brought me up to his den and he went inside. I looked to the left of me and saw a cliff same as on the right. A minute later he returned with a human tool. It was big and had two sharp ends that would open and close.
"I'm feeling nice today, so if you can guess what I am holding, I'll make it less painful." He said with an evil grin.
"So either way I answer, you're going to kill me?"
"Oh so close, the correct name was bolt cutters. Humans use these to cut through hard objects. But I've found other uses." His smile got even wider.
"Alright so what's going to happen to me?" I asked questioning every decision I've made up to this point.
"I'm glad you, first I'm make sure you never have pups again then we'll go from there." He said. He started to line up his cutter with me and I realized it was now or never.
"DANIEL NOW." I screamed. All of a sudden a loud noise rang through the air and the guard to the left of me fell dead. The guard next to me was stunned so I used this to my advantage and kicked him in the direction of the cliff. I let his clumsy walk do the rest. The leader fell with his paws on his ears. And behind him was Daniel, with a small, 17 caliber, single shot pistol.
"Thank you Sergeant." I said.
"Don't mention it." He said.
We looked over to the leader who was getting up.
"You get the girls out of here, I'll take care of him." I said. He nodded and went inside the den, seconds later Daniel and all of the leaders girls ran outside and toward the border. I walked over to the ledge and let out a howl. This howl had meaning. Not even Daniel knew this but when I had told Frost to take care of Kate, I also told him about a sneak attack that would be ready at right about the time I howled.
There was only one thing left to do. I looked back and saw the leader getting back up.
"You should've killed me when you had the chance." He said. He jumped at my throat but I dodged it.
"You're pack is dead and you are in no position to argue. Surrender now and I'll let you live. Even with your unjustified crimes…" I said.
"Unjustified, there was no justice to begin with. You wanna know what was here before us, there was just four packs at each others throats 24/7, I just found a way out." He said.
"With enslaving your women and raiding all the other packs?" I asked.
"Yes. Now if your done I'd like to get around to killing you." He said evilly. He jumped at me again but this time I couldn't dodge him. Then I felt relived for a second when Frost and Hunter showed up, but just for a second.
"Hey Humphrey were wining…" Frost started.
"Take another step see what happens." He said putting his jaws around my neck. He put a little pressure on my neck giving me some difficulty breathing.
"Alright let's work something out here okay." Hunter said.
"Yeah you surrender I'll give you your spy." The leader said. I saw the two conversing privately.
"Hunter, Frost don't give in." I screamed.
"Humphrey there's no other way to win." Frost said. I looked around me and saw exactly what I needed.
"I see one. Tell Kate I love her and I'm sorry about what's about to happen." I said. "This is what happens when you fuck with me." I said to the leader. I could see Hunter caught on to my idea and ran forward to stop me. But it was too late, I already knew what I was getting into when I came here.
No ones POV:
Hunter sprinted toward Humphrey but it was to late. Next to Humphrey was a cliff face and he had only one more idea of how to end it all. He used his legs to push himself and the leader of the cliff. Hunter stopped running, he didn't even look down if fear of what he might see. Frost just stood in one spot.
"Did he just…" Frost started.
"Yeah…" Hunter said . Frost walked up to Hunter who was trying to conceal his sadness. But Hunter still had tears running down his cheek.
"It's okay Hunter. He did it to save all of us." Frost said.
"And we could've saved him if we'd of gotten here sooner." Hunter said.
"You don't know that." Frost said.
"I…" he let out a exasperated breath. "I guess your right, but Humphrey was the only surviving member of my family, he was my only chance of finding my parents." Hunter said depressingly. "But I still have Chloe."
"See there's a bright side." Frost said.
"Yeah, I guess." Hunter said. "I'm just going to take a look." He said. He walked over to the edge and looked down. It was a river. "It's a river, it's a river Frost. He might still be alive." Hunter said eccentricity.
"Hunter calm down, even though it's a river it's still about a three hundred foot drop. Nothing could've survived that. I'm sorry he's defiantly dead."
Hunter was depressed again. "No you're lying."
"How could I lie?"
"I-I don't know." Hunter said putting his head down. Frost walked over worried about him.
"Come on." Frost said. "Let's go home." Frost said.
"Okay." The sun was coming up finally. They reached the pack grounds of Hunters pack. Frost saw Daniel or Sgt. Daniel as he knew him. To Frosts memory he was the only one who knew about Daniel. Until he saw Daniels pistol hung low across his make shift holster. In all honesty his holster was just mated fur with room enough to accommodate his gun. Frost walked up to Daniel.
"So you told them?" Frost asked.
"I told them what they needed to know." Daniel said.
"I hope you know what your doing." Frost said.
"Hey I've had a plan ever since I left the USMC." Daniel walked away and a member of the resistance came up to Frost.
"Frost I have a damage report, five wounded and only one death." Frost was relived and worried at the same time.
"Thank you." He said. He walked away. But the next person to walk up to Frost scared him the most. It was Kate.
"Hey Kate, I need to have a talk with you about Humphrey."
PM me if you have an idea as to what should happen next.
