Humphrey's P.O.V.
I Opened My Eyes To Another Day, Another Day Of Running Away From King. I Swear Once Me And The Others Can We Are Going To Kill Him And Everyone Else That Wiped Out Our Pack And Avenge It. As Usual Emily Was Sleeping Next To Me And Was Smiling In Her Sleep. I Carefully Got Up To Avoid Waking Her Up And Walked Out Of The Den Me And Her Had Constructed Yesterday And Headed Towards The River Where We Played Last Night. I Began To Get A Drink From The Water When I Heard A Twig Snap. I Instantly Recoiled Back And Thanks To Instinct Got In A Defensive Crouch And Looked Where The Sound Came From.
"Who's There" I Called But No One Answered. After A While Of Waiting I Decided To Go Back To The Den But I Decided That Since I Might Be Being Followed That I Wouldn't Go Straight Back To The Den In Case I Was Being Followed. I Ran Through Thick Foliage, Doubled Back On Myself To Throw Off My Scent Trail, And Walked In Random Directions As Well. Eventually I Made It Back To The Den And Saw Luke Walking Out Of The Den To Get Some Fresh Air.
"Luke" I Called.
"What's Up Humphrey" He Replied.
"We've Got A Problem" I Said And Explained About What Had Happened At The River.
"Okay Let's Wake Up The Girls And Then Decide What To Do" He Replied.
"Okay" I Agreed. We Then Walked Inside The Den To Wake The Girls Up And I Explained What Had Happened At The River.
"I Think That We Should Get Out Of Her As Soon As Possible" I Added.
"I Agree With Humphrey" Emily Added.
"Me Too, It Could Be One Of King's Wolves For All We Know" Luke Said. After We Ate The Remainder Of The Deer From The Day Before And Had One Last Drink From The River We Began To Head Back To Where The We Had Gotten Off The Train Before. We Decided To Try To Board Another To Get As Much Distance As Possible Between Us And King's Pack. However When We Arrived The Train From Before Was Gone And There Wasn't Another In Sight.
"Well Now What Do We Do"? Elizabeth Asked. Little Did They Know A Certain Brown Wolf Was Watching Them.
John's P.O.V.
"John I Want You To Scout Ahead And Try To Pick Up Their Scents, If You Find Then Report Immediately Back To Us. We Will Be Following A Short Distance Back" Oliver Said.
"Yes Sir" I Replied. I Was Actually Delighted To Get The Chance To Redeem Myself For The Train Yard Incident And I Was Not Going To Fail Like That Again. I Soon Had Their Scent And Lead The Team In Search Of Those Pups. Soon I Came To A River And Saw None Other Than Hotzendorf Himself Drinking From It. I Got So Excited A Accidentally Stepped On A Twig, When It Broke I Became Infuriated With Myself For Allowing This To Happen. Hotzendorf Then Began To Walk Backwards Away From Me And Then Broke Into A Run And I Ran After Him. After A Lot Cat And Mouse He Eventually Led Me Right Towards The Den He And The Others Had Been Sleeping In. After They Talked For A While They Had Breakfast And A Quick Drink And Began To Move Toward The Train Tracks, I Ran Back Towards The Main Group And Informed Them What Had Happened And Where They Were Going. After I Informed Oliver We Raced After Them And Saw Them Sitting Next To The Train Waiting Anxiously For A Train. Suddenly We Heard A Trains Horn In The Distance, It Was Now Or Never.
Humphrey's P.O.V.
We Had Been Sitting Next To The Tracks For A While Now While Anxiously For A Train. Finally We Heard A Loud Noise In The Distance And Saw One Round A Corner And Begin To Come Towards Us. But As It Came Closer Our Hopes Of Getting On Easily Were Dashed, It Was Going Way Too Fast. It Raced Through The Human Area And the Front Thundered Past Us. Then As If It Couldn't Get Any Worse Someone Cleared Their Throat Behind Us. We Turned Around And Saw John Along Other Wolves Behind Him.
"Oh No" Elizabeth Whined.
"On Yes" John Said.
"Very Good John, But I Will Take It From Here" Said Another Wolf. John Looked Annoyed But Backed Down As A Slightly Bigger Wolf Came Up Towards Us.
"So You Are The Wolves That Managed To Dupe John" He Said. John Began To Get More Angry.
"My Name Is Oliver And I Will Give You Two Options" He Added.
"The First Is You Surrender Unconditionally But You Three Except Hotzendorf Can Go Free Unconditionally, The Second One Is A Right To The Death, Which Will You Choose"? He Asked.
"How About The Third One Where You Leave Us Alone Forever" Emily Replied.
"I'm Afraid I Can't Do That, Now Which One Is It. The Surrender Or Fight" He Said. Suddenly The Train Made A Loud Screeching Sound. As Kings Wolves Covered Their Ears We Ignored The Pain And Made A Break For It. The Train Had Actually Slowed A Lot As It Passed By Us And We Saw Another Open Car And Jumped Aboard. We Looked Back And Saw John, Oliver, And Some Of The Other Wolves Had Also Managed To Board The Train And Were Running On Top Of It Towards Us. Suddenly Luke Began To Climb On Top Of The Train Car To Meet Them.
"Luke What Are You Doing"! Elizabeth Called.
"I'm Done Running" He Replied. With That He Climbed On Top Of The Car To Meet The Other Wolves, When He Got To The Top The Others Laughed At Him.
No One's P.O.V.
"Well Well Well, One Of The Pups Has Actually Grown A Pair Of Balls And Come Out To Fight" Oliver Laughed. John However Stayed Focused. He Had Underestimated These Pups Before And Had Nearly Paid The Ultimate Price, He Wouldn't Allow That To Happen Again. Suddenly The Train Jerked Forward And Two Of The Wolves That Had Made It Onboard Fell Off, They Were Going So Fast They Didn't Even Hear Them Hit The Ground, Now It Was Only John, Oliver, And Luke On Top Of The Train. Or So They Thought, One Wolf Tried To Push Luke Off The Train From Behind, Luke However Sensed His Presence And Ducked And The Wolf Flew Off The Train. Oliver And John Were Shocked And Luke Was A Little Flustered But All Three Quickly Regained Their Composure And Prepared To Do Battle. Oliver Now Saw That Luke Was Not Going To Surrender.
"John To Get Him" He Ordered. John Nodded And Slowly Crept Forward Making Sure To Keep His Balance As The Train Sped Up More And More. John And Luke Began To Short But Aggressive Swipes With Their Paws And Fake Lunges At Each Other To Try To Get The Other To Flinch Or Lose Their Balance So They Other Could Tackle Them Off The Train. Meanwhile Humphrey, Emily, And Elizabeth Looked On In Horror To See Luke And John Fight.
Humphrey's P.O.V.
"We Have To Help Him" Elizabeth Said.
"How Are We Going To Do That" Emily Replied. They Continued To Argue Over What To Do So I Desperately Looked To Try And Find Anything That Could Help Luke. Eventually The Train Rounded A Corner And I Saw That The Cars Were Connected By A Small Stick Between The Cars. Maybe If I Can Sever Their Connection Then Maybe We Can Ditch John And Oliver. I Quickly Worked Around The Side Of The Car With The Girls Still Bickering And Saw How The Cars Were Connected. I Carefully Crept Down Onto The Stick Thing And Heard A Wolf Yelp. I Knew That Luke Was Probably Tiring Since He Was Just A Pup Still And Probably Didn't Have Long Before He Was Finally Put Down. I Saw Something That Actually Told 'How To Uncouple The Car'. I Didn't Really Understand The Human Language But I Could Tell By The Pictures How To Do It, Now I Just Had To Warn Luke.
"Luke" I Called.
"I'm A Little Busy Right Now Humphrey" He Replied.
"I Know But When I Say Now Jump To The Car Behind You" I Said.
"Why?" He Said Back.
"Just Trust Me" I Replied.
"NOW!" I Yelled. Luke Then Jumped To Our Car And I Pulled Up Something Embedded In The Connecting Piece And And There Was A Clank Sound Followed By The Car John And Oliver Were Standing On Start To Slow Down. They Suddenly A Loud Snap Was Heard Followed By A Hissing Sound And Both Sections Of Train Started To Squeal Loudly. After A While Of This I Realized That Both Sections Of Train Were Slowing Down.
