Chapter 20: Excuses

Chapter 20 up. 20 more to go, man this seems to go by pretty fast, but I am posting a chapter a day. So this may take me a month to finish.

Last Chapter

The sun was now high in the sky, shining its warm full heat rays across the valley. Humphrey and Kate were walking towards Kate's parents den when Eve, Lilly, and Winston were all mad. Eve saw Humphrey walking towards them and shouted his name.

Present

Humphrey and Kate were walking and Eve walked over to Humphrey with hate in her eyes. Humphrey saw the hate and assumed that Lilly told her what happened between them. Humphrey took off for his life, with Eve behind him.

"Why is he running?" Eve asked herself. Seeing Humphrey turning to run away from her, Eve got furious and gave chase. Humphrey tried to run but couldn't due to his accident on his side and fell.

Humphrey fell to the ground with a yelp. Eve ran to his side and saw Humphrey covering his face. Kate was close behind her.

"Why were you running away from me?" Eve asked aggravated. Kate walked next to her mom with a questioned look.

"You're going to kill me, that's why." Humphrey whimpered.

"For what? You didn't do anything wrong. Did you?" Eve asked with a serious tone. Humphrey didn't respond and Kate stared at her mom. Eve took note and notice that Humphrey was shaking.

Eve grew furious and kicked him in the stomach with lightning speed. Humphrey yelped in pain at the contact that made him roll over laying on his back. Kate stared in shock at what her mom was doing.

"How dare you mate with my daughter! Mating season isn't here and you have the nerve to rush her!" Eve yelled stomping on his stomach.

Humphrey yelped and his wound opened up on his side, blood oozing out. Kate ran and tackled her mom from the back and pinned her away from the whimpering wolf that was bleeding.

"Mom! What are you doing!" Kate yelled at her mom.

"How dare you talk to your mother in that tone! He mated you before mating season even started and you're defending him!" Eve yelled back under Kate. Wolves over the western pack saw the battle and watched as if were a show.

Winston heard the yelling and recognized one of the voices to be Eve's. Winston peered out the dens cliff and saw three wolves. One was bleeding and one pinning down another. Winston rushed down the slope and saw Humphrey bleeding.

Lilly followed her dad and saw Humphrey bleeding as well. She ran to his side and saw a puddle of blood, slowly growing bigger. Lilly reached a panicked state and ran to the onlookers.

"Someone go get Sally, Reba, and Janice. Now!" Lilly yelled. The onlookers stared in shocked at Lilly's attitude but didn't move.

"Lilly, what's the problem?" Janice asked running through the crowed.

"Humphrey is bleeding and it won't stop. He needs your help before he dies." Lilly said turning around and rushing to her friends' side.

"Come on Humphrey, stay with me." Lilly said taking hold of his paw.

"Kate, let Eve go." Winston ordered. Kate did what her dad ordered and got off of her mom.

"Eve, why did you attack Humphrey?" Winston asked pulling her aside.

"Humphrey mated Kate before mating season came." Eve said looking at her mate with hate in her eyes.

"Eve, I miss calculated the time. It started sooner than I expected it. It started just the other day." Winston said looking down.

"If that happened then why aren't I in heat?" Eve whispered.

"I don't know, but didn't the thought of being in heat cross your mind? Remember when you were in heat, you almost raped me until I finally broke down and submitted to you." Winston said bringing up the past.

"Humphrey!" Kate screamed once she saw the puddle of blood, now a pool around him. Janice tried to patch up the wound but the extreme amount of blood made it hard to grasp the leaf.

"I need help here!" Janice yelled. Kate sat next to her and asked for instructions.

"Here, put pressure on that wound. I will be back shortly with some herbs." Janice explained as she took off into the forest. Kate placed her paws on Humphrey's side and he screamed in pain.

"Humphrey, I'm sorry, but I have to do this to keep you from bleeding to death." Kate said tears welling up in her eyes.

"Li-Lilly, why did y-you tell E-Eve?" Humphrey asked, voice scratchy.

"Humphrey, I didn't tell her. I told her about Garth leaving me." Lilly said with tears too in her eyes. Janice ran back with the blue-ish green leaf and placed it on his side. Humphrey howled from the agonizing pain.

"That should do it. It might take a while for the bleeding to stop but he will be fine." Janice said wiping her bloody paws on the ground. Humphrey laid on the ground, blood soaking his fur, and messed up.

"Where the hell is Sally? She should have been here?" Janice asked looking around.

"E-Eve." Humphrey said slowly looking around. Eve heard him call her and she turned around. The on-lookers walked away from the scene and back to what they were doing.

"Yes, Humphrey?" Eve asked in a quiet voice.

"Can we t-talk somewhere, pr-privately." Humphrey said slowly standing up. Eve nodded and was going to help him but was stopped by Kate, who walked next to Humphrey, in case he fell.

They walked into Winston and Eve's den and Kate carefully laid Humphrey down on the ground. Kate had blood on her side where Humphrey constantly leaned against her.

"Kate, can you bring Lilly and Winston? We all need to talk." Humphrey said in a solemn voice. Kate nodded and left. Within seconds, Lilly Winston and Kate walked into the den and sat around Humphrey, ready for what he was going to say.

"I called you here, to ask for permission." Humphrey said in a calm tone.

"What's the permission?" Winston asked with his eye brow raised.

"I would like to see Eve kick Garth's ass, and…" Humphrey said before he was interrupted by laughter by Eve.

"Of course you can watch, come on let's get a move on before it gets too late." Eve said standing up.

"I'm not finished." Humphrey said making Eve sit back down.

"… and, to ask if…you would let your daughter travel with me back to Saw tooth National Park, Idaho." Humphrey asked looking at Winston and Eve for their approval.

"Humphrey, I don't mind, but I'm worried about what might happen to and from their." Winston asked worriedly. Humphrey looked at Eve for an answer and noticed that she was looking down.

"Eve?" Humphrey asked.

"I will allow it, but when were you planning on going?" Eve asked.

"By at least the day after tomorrow. We could have help from Marcel and Paddy." Humphrey said remembering their two bird friends.

"Humphrey?" Lilly asked speaking up.

"Yes."

"Is… is it alright if I can go?" Lilly asked looking down.

"He's going to say no. Why did I even ask?"

"Yeah it's fine. You need some fresh air to forget about Garth. Only if it's alright with Winston and Eve?" Humphrey said looking for the two approvals. Winston hesitated for a little at the thought of his two daughters going with Humphrey.

"Humphrey is the nicest boy, he would never let them out of his sight."

"Yes, I will allow it." Winston came to a decision.

"I will allow it too, but Humphrey, if something happens to any of my daughters I will…"

"Tear off my ears so I can't hear myself scream, tear out my eyes, shove them down my throat so I can your claws tear my carcass open, or rip me limb from limb and scatter me across the vally. Am I right or am I right?" Humphrey asked in a tired voice.

"Uh, no, you forgot the part where I rip your manhood and…"

"That's enough. He gets it Eve." Winston said stopping the gruesome threats.

"Ok, but for right now I want to see all those threats be put into action on Garth." Humphrey snickered evily.

Sorry for the somewhat short chapter. I wanted to leave the chapter of kind of mysteriously, if you know what i mean?

So what do you think of Humphrey's actions? Will Kate and Lilly be safe on their trip back to Idaho? When will they see Marcel and Paddy, will they see them in Idaho or what? Find out nxt chapter.
