Ch.14- A Wild Rush.

A/N: Hey everyone, here's the next installment. I am sorry for the super long time that I haven't updated. I was on vacation out in Panama, and WiFi isn't as available there as it is here. Enjoy!

Humphrey's POV:

We rested under the tree for the whole night. With our bodies well-rested, we continued to travel on. Thankfully, the scent of Jasper Park was getting stronger, so we knew we were going the right way. We kept following the scent of Jasper park and realized that in our way was a very steep hill, and we were at the base of it.

"Uh oh..." Lilly whispered as she tried to find the peak, craning her neck up. "Humphrey, what's faster, around it or through it?" She asked me.

I analyzed the hill. It was very steep and wide, so both ways looked very annoying to go through. As I kept scanning the hill, I noticed that trees dotted the hill, and a thought popped in my head. "Through it," I told her. She was obviously confused at my answer because going around it would've been less work. Before she could answer I stopped her by putting my paw on her lips. "Trust me, we'll be fine," I comforted. And again, before she could reply I stopped her. This time I kissed her. We held it for a long time, when I finally pulled away, her fur puffed up, obviously taken back by my smooth move. She agreed, and we started to make our annoying journey up the mountain with a devious grin on my face.

It was a nightmare trying to get up the hill. The incline was almost too much for us. There were times when Lilly lost her footing, but I caught her before she could fall. We slowly scaled our way up the hill, and I could tell Lilly was questioning my reasoning for climbing instead of walking around in her head. After a grueling three and a half hours, we finally made it to the peak. Now Lilly will discover the method to my madness.

Lilly's POV:

I really am worried about Humphrey. Something isn't right. He knows it's shorter going around, so why the hell are we climbing? Thanks to him I was saved from a couple of falls but we wouldn't even have been in this situation if we took the easy way out! I wonder what's going on in that brain of his. We finally made it to the top, only to find an even more treacherous way down. "Humphrey, I'm sorry but this isn't a good idea, really. Are you OK?," I asked him as I looked behind myself. Oddly, he wasn't there. I called out his name again as I turned my head back. He was nowhere to be seen. I started to feel afraid. He didn't fall, did he? I didn't hear anything, and he was quiet for the whole time. I kept looking around, getting more frantic by the second and then Humphrey popped out behind a tree and scared me. I jumped and screamed when he popped out, he was then laughing on the ground. "Don't do that! I was scared you fell!" I scolded. I was still mad and started to walk away until Humphrey came around and wrapped his arm around me. "I'm sorry babe, I just wanted to brighten the mood a little," He said softly. He then apologized for his little joke. He looked at me with those eyes like gems and I just melted. I could never stay mad at him. He's irresistible. "Well, I guess we'll make our way down, yay..." I said, putting a sarcastic emphasis on the yay. Humphrey stopped me before I even took a step forward. Before I could protest his move he started walking in another direction and motioned for me to come along.

Humphrey led me to a tree. "What does a tree have to do with us going down?" I asked him. "Patience, young grasshopper, you'll thank me for this afterwards," he said in a weird accent while casting me a wink. He then turned to the tree, and he started clawing the tree. Now I knew that Humphrey lost it, but I just waited. I decided not to say anything. I then took a closer look at what he was doing, he was carving a pattern into the wood. He drew out an oval like shape and then started to deepen the lines he made. Before I knew it, he then grabbed the top of his design and ripped it clean off the tree. I was still clueless on what he was doing. He then started shifting the weird piece of wood to the edge of the other side of the hill. He then seated himself on the wood and looked at me. Apparently, to him this was natural. "So, what are you waiting for?" he asked me. He then confirmed that we were sliding down the rest of the hill. "Let's log sled!" Humphrey shouted.

I made my way to the log nervous. I never did this before, all the other omegas at Jasper thought those guys were idiots, but I'm pretty sure they were actually jealous of them like me. I climbed on to the log carefully. I was excited and scared for my life at the same time. I finally get to know what it's like! "OK, for the safest ride, please follow my instructions as we're going down," Humphrey explained to me. "Roger that captain!" I replied.

"Oh and Lilly?" Humphrey asked. "Yes..." I slowly answered. "You might wanna hold on to me pretty tight, just don't claw me to death," he explained with a chuckle. He didn't have to tell me twice. I grabbed him tight, and he liked it. "Let's go!" Humphrey shouted as he pushed off, our little log ride has begun.

We soon began to pick up a lot of speed, my fur was blown back. This was amazing! I shouted with joy as we raced down the hill. Humphrey gave out the usual commands of lean left or right to dodge boulders in trees. We almost hit a log ramp too fast, but Humphrey put his legs out to slow us down. We landed with a hard thud, but we were OK. "You like it?" Humphrey shouted as we continued to pick up speed again. I just buried my face into the back of his shoulder and kissed it to let him know I was having the time of my life. We were so free and on top of the world, nothing could stop us, until a boulder did. Humphrey was too busy talking to me that he didn't notice a huge boulder right in front of us. "Shit," I heard Humphrey say. I screamed in panic as we were rushing straight towards it, but again, Humphrey saved the day. Right before we crashed, Humphrey screamed for me to scoot back, which I did after I let go of him. After that he scooted forward while putting out his right foot on the grown, spinning the log sideways. He screamed for me to jump, and I did right before impact. I landed on the ground, but it still had an incline, so I kept rolling for a while. I heard a violent snap and a scream from Humphrey. I don't think he was as lucky as I was. I got up, and checked myself. Thank God I only had a couple scratches. After evaluating my condition, fear gripped me and I rushed to look for Humphrey, scared to find out that not all of his bones will be in the right place...

A/N: Hey everyone. Again sorry for having taken so long to update. I'll try to post more. There was hardly any WiFi spots in Panama. Hope you're still alive, and I hoped you liked this chapter. See ya for the next one. :)
