It's been awhile huh? My excuse this time is that ff wasn't working on my new phone. Couldn't get into the app and when I could I couldn't get into the doc manager. I just found my old phone today so here we go.
Kate's POV
We got in the car after a few minutes of convincing. Suddenly Mom's phone buzzed. She checked the phone and seemed to panic. "But there was nothing on the news about this. How could they miss that?"
"What's going on Eve?" Dad said worriedly. He glanced at the phone. Suddenly I heard the keys turn. Looking at Dad I saw he was scared. The car didn't start. He tried again, panicking. The car again didn't start. "Shit. We have to take your car."
Mom nodded opening the door quickly. She ran toward the door getting inside. We waited for her to unlock her door. Lily must've been confused suddenly hearing the door slam closed. I turned to Dad "What's going on?" I asked in fear.
Dad shook his head. "Somehow we or the news missed it. There is a category four blizzard coming straight toward our area. And it's coming fast. Once it hits I give your friend a solid fifteen minutes before he's gone. We gotta move fast."
My heart sank. We had no idea where he could be. All we knew is that he is in Jasper, which is a pretty decently sized city. It could take us all night to find him even if we had the time. We had about three guesses before he was a goner.
Mom arrived a few seconds later. We had to find him quickly. As Humphrey says, 'This is crunch time, clutch time'. I just hope we are clutch. "Let's check the house first."
Third Person
Humphrey was still under the bridge when he got the alert. He looked at it and shook his head. "Well, this is something". He deleted the notification. He grabbed the old blanket that now was way to small for him. Salty offered to give him a new one but he had refused. He put the blanket over himself. After completely covering himself he turned on his phone.
A few minutes went by when Kate heard the winds roar. It was as if the winds were angry and just screaming away their anger. They drove pass the bridge of Humphrey's father's death place. Over the edge, they could see a car starting to get covered in snow. With the car was a stone, which was barely visible thanks to the darkness of the night.
Kate started to think out loud. "Humphrey has to be somewhere where he could easily walk to the school. Most likely near his old house." she paused for a moment drawing a square of where Humphrey could possibly be in her mind. "That basically cuts us down to the park and mall right?"
Her parents nodded as they set their sights on the mall which was pretty close to the bridge.
It's getting extremely cold. Humphrey thought as he grabbed his bag filled with his clothes. He grabbed a bunch of his clothes and put them between him and his quilt trying to make himself warmer. It proved little to no use.
He looked toward his father's car, the destroyed vehicle that held so many memories. As he looked at the stone which read 'In Memory of Jose DaSilva, Don't drink and drive'. A huge gust of wind blew. Grabbing his blanket and clothes away. He shivered as he got up to grab his stuff.
The mall was a no go and so was the park. The three were losing hope now. thirteen minutes had gone by since the blizzard started. Where the hell was Humphrey? Why couldn't they find him? "The only place I can think of now is the bridge," Eve said. Nobody thought of it. That couldn't be the place Humphrey was. There was just no way. Or was it?
Winston nodded, "What do we have to lose?" Eve stepped on the gas pedal as they were on their way to the bridge. Kate knew it was gonna be a close call if they found him there. If not... she didn't want to think about that.
Humphrey was trying so hard to sleep but it was impossible with how cold he was. There was absolutely no way he was gonna sleep. Or possibly survive the night. He checked his phone, 11:27. Suddenly the worst happened. The wind blew away his only source of warmth again. It wasn't working but it was better than nothing. He got up but suddenly he couldn't feel his legs as he fell to his knees. Suddenly a car pulled up shining its headlights. Three wolves got out. He only recognized the golden wolf. "HUMPHREY!" is all he heard before everything went black.
Short again. I hope it was good though. Strong return? No? Okay. Anyway, I'll shut up and post this now. I'll see all you beautiful people in the next chapter.
