Alpha & Omega

Chapter 12: The Silent Moment

I guess you guys are pretty mad at me for having Humphrey killed towards the end of the chapter. Well I just want to say that your welcome, I enjoy reading your angry reviews and it makes me laugh when you get upset. I know you have been waiting long enough to read more and I, too, also didn't want the chapter to end. I got into the typing nonstop mood but I had to leave it off with a sad ending. Enjoy? haha

It was getting late and the crowd slowly began to fade until there were only seven wolves at the horrible scene. Kate hasn't stop crying since Humphrey's last words came out of his mouth.

Flashback

"Do-don't worry Ka-kate I will always be with you, just…" Humphrey's eyes closed, "… never for-forget that … I … l-love…" Humphrey didn't get to finish when he laid his head down, resting it in front of Kate.

End of Flashback

It's been about four hours since the passing of a loved wolf. It was getting dark and the sun had just touched the mountains. Kate walked up and lied next to the deceased wolf that was her mate, and began to cuddle next to it.

Winston looked down upon his son-in-law and followed what Kate did. Lilly and Garth were next to follow, but Shakey, Salty, and Mooch walked away saying there last goodbye's to their friend. There was an awkward silence until Winston spoke up.

"We should bury him in the morning, He will be missed dearly, but will never leave our hearts, and he will be remembered for what he did." Winston said almost choking towards the end of his speech.

"He would never leave me, he said so himself, he would never abandon anyone." Kate said still crying. Garth finally spoke up and walked towards the body.

"He was like a brother to me; actually, he was the only wolf that I treated like one. He was a brother I never had and… and… I will miss him dearly." Garth said crying again, new tears streaming down his face.

Lilly couldn't even talk without being interrupted by her crying. Winston stood up slowly and began to walk away; Garth stood up and began to walk but stopped and turned around.

"You can stay Lilly if you like, but I can't stand to see him like that." Garth said looking at her mate.

"You can go I'll stay here with my sister a little longer." Lilly said trying to stop herself from crying.

"Ok, I'll be at the den when you get back." and with that Garth left with his head low.

Kate has been crying ever since her mate died and her eyes were blood shot red. Lilly walked to her sister and hugged her, crying intensively into her shoulder.

"I-I miss… him to-too." Lilly said crying harder. Kate let go of her sister and looked at her mate. Humphrey's body seemed to be moving, his left ear twitched and his tail slowly moved. Kate stared at the body shocked at Humphrey moving.

"Li-Lilly! Look!" Kate said pointing at the dead body. Lilly looked and saw nothing, When she saw his mangled body she turned away and started to pond the ground with tears in her eyes. Lilly was emotionally wrecked and the image of her best friend dead didn't help.

"Lilly, I saw him move!" Kate shouted.

"Kate, stop it!" Lilly yelled. "He's dead, he can't move, he's been dead for the past four hours! Just let it go!" Lilly screamed looking at her sister. Kate stared at her sister with a hurt expression on her face. Lilly felt bad for yelling at her sister and ran off into the forest.

Kate watched her sister run and turned her attention back to her mate. She stared at him and waited to see him move again to see if her mind was playing tricks on her.

"Come on Humphrey, Please, move again and prove that I'm not crazy." Kate said almost close to tears. Humphrey's body didn't move and Kate decided that that was it, she would have to bury him tomorrow in the morning. Kate was going to leave back to her and Humphrey's den when she remembered the scene left at the den.

"My mom was there as well before we came. What was she doing in there?" Kate thought. She walked to the den and noticed writing in the blood stained ground.

"Dear Humphrey,

This is going to be hard to tell you in person but I decided to write this to you. Your parents were murdered. The wolf's that murdered your parents were…" Kate couldn't read the names that were printed into the soil. "… I and Winston never meant to hurt you but we couldn't tell you, you were only a month old and your eyes were barely beginning to open. You probably don't remember this because of the accident you had while you were in alpha school. You were among the top best and passed the class with flying colors. But Eric pushed you a little too far with the test and you fell down the waterfall.

Eric rushed to your side and brought you to me and I saw that you were in the worst condition a wolf could possibly be. You had a large gash in your left arm with the bone sticking out. There was a rock that impaled you on your head with it still in. Eric carefully placed you on the ground and I immediately started to fix you. I was the pack healer but once I saw the condition you were in I stepped down and became the alpha you see today. I almost lost you but the worst that happened was that your memory was wiped clean. You couldn't remember anything and about after a year, you suddenly wanted to become an omega. I couldn't say no so I let you roam off making friends.

I am sorry for doing the things I have done and Winston Is also truly sorry for doing what he had done.

Eve.

Kate was trying to figure out what her mom wrote on the floor and began to put the puzzle together.

"His speed, strength, and abilities, Humphrey was determined to become an alpha!" Kate said out loud. She turned to walk towards Humphrey's body when she noticed he wasn't there. Kate stared at the spot where Humphrey lied and saw a message scribbled into the earth.

"Kate this is me, I am not gone, I am with you now, just following my last wishes and you will be with me. Forever." Kate looked at the message and began to think that the only way she was to be with him if she kills herself. Kate looked at the message and continued reading. "I want you to walk to the pond, and wash yourself; you must be dirty from crying so much. Next, I want you to get everyone in the western pack and tell them to follow you. You must go to the valley where tony announced the war and stand on the rock. I love you, never forget that.

Humphrey

P.S

Don't ask any questions and please follow my instructions. Eve has to be there even if you have to drag her, knock her out, or even tie her paws together, but she has to be there.

Kate didn't ask questions and took off to the pond and washed up before heading to her parents den and rounding up the western pack. Kate was at the feeding grounds and noticed all the wolves around her parents den. She could hear yelling and growling. Kate pushed through the crowd and walked into her parents den to see her mother crying and Winston shouting at the wolves to get back.

The crowd became silent as soon as they saw Kate.

"Dad I need to talk to everyone, now" Kate said

"Why Kate, what's wrong?" Winston asked. Kate turned from her father and looked at the horde of wolves waiting for her to say something.

"I need to let you all know that Humphrey is missing." The wolves all stared in shock at what Kate had said.

"I was going to walk home but I didn't want to leave him out in the open, so when I turned around he was gone. He wrote a letter in the ground saying that the only way I can be with him is if we all go to the valley where Tony made the announcement to take the valley and meet at the stone in the middle of it." Kate finished looking at the upset wolves.

"How is that possible, he is…" the wolf was cut short by Kate.

"He's not dead, if he was dead then how could he have written the letter?" Kate said walking to her parents. The wolves didn't say anything and waited for further commands.

"He said you need to be there too mom." Kate said seriously. Eve looked up and was going to hug her daughter but was cut off by Kate when she turned around.

"Even if we have to force you." Kate said walking out of the den with the whole pack with them.

30 minutes later

It was dark and the sun was now behind the mountains, the moon was appearing and shone little light to the valley. The western pack stopped at the valley and Kate walked forward towards the stone Humphrey said to meet at. Kate froze in her tracks when she notices a silhouette of a wolf was waiting for her. She took a defensive position in case the unknown wolf was hostile.

"What, you don't remember me? How sad."
