Chapter 16 Meanwhile 3


Drake P.O.V.


I've been looking for my girlfriend Winter for a while around the cafeteria and couldn't find her anywhere. This started to worry me because she'll never just skip lunch without telling me. Even if she did choose to skip lunch, she wouldn't be gone for this long. I tried calling her multiple times but it went straight to her voice mail. After that I knew something definitely was wrong if she's not answering her phone. Winter never ignores my calls regardless of the situation. I was running out of options so I started to ask wolves that may have seen her. The first wolves I saw was Humphrey and Kate on the bench making out. "Wait, Humphrey actually got Kate?...where have I been?" I thought.

When I walked to them they immediately stopped with blushing cheeks.

"Sorry didn't mean to kill you guys vibe but uhh...have any of you seen Winter?" I asked worriedly panting from the jog to them.

"No, not since the party a couple days ago actually" Humphrey said looking at Kate for an responses.

"I saw her in third period today, other than that no...why what's wrong?" Kate asked getting concerned.

"I don't know...usually we'll eat lunch together but this time she never showed up...she never does this and would have personally told me if she was going to skip out...something's definitely wrong because she's not answering her calls" I said in a worried tone.

"Maybe it's dead" Humphrey suggested.

"Maybe, I don't know but something's telling me that she's in trouble because this NEVER happens" I said freaking out.

"Dude, take a chill pill...I'll help you find her...I think I have someone who might know where she is" Humphrey said.

"Thank you bro" I said smirking.

"No problem" Humphrey said smirking back. Kate moved off his lap and slowly stood up wrapping her arms him.

"I guess I'll see you later?" Kate asked smiling.

"Yeah, definitely" Humphrey said smiling gazing into her amber eyes.

"Hurry up already Humphrey's not going off to the military" I said inpatient. Humphrey gave Kate a quick kiss and walked up to me.

"Bye" Kate said waving with a smile.

"Bye K" Humphrey said smiling back.

I followed Humphrey into the school as he supposedly knew someone who can help us. The worry and suspense was killing me I just had to know. She could've been wolfnapped or even worse in lunch detention. I tried to think of something else to keep my mind off it and chuckled at the pet name Humphrey gave Kate.

"K?..that's all you can come up with?...she's one of the hottest girls in school you have to think of something else" I said chuckling.

"I don't understand to hate I think it's fine" Humphrey said calmly without giving me eye contact.

"I mean it could've been anything in the world and you just choose K?" I asked chuckling.

"What you want me to call her the common Katiepie?" Humphrey asked sarcastically.

"I'm pretty sure 'K' is common too" I said chuckling.

"Don't worry about my relationship goals right now, we should be finding your girl or you guys might not have an relationship" Humphrey said snapping me back to reality.

"And I uhh, never thought Kate and I were ever get this far so I didn't think about pet names" Humphrey said turning into the busy cafeteria.

"Make sense because she's out of your league" I joked chuckling.

"I shit you not someone tells me that everyday but haters are my motivators motherfuckerd" Humphrey said chuckling.

Humphrey and I walked through the cafe up to a table filled with slutty cheerleaders and gold diggers. Maybe in this case fame diggers, and Humphrey as their primary target. I wasn't sure how they would know because Winter don't really like them from the way they represent themselves.

"Hey handsome" Jane said seductively.

"Hey" I said smiling.

"Not you...I'm taking to the sexy one next to you" Jane said seductively winking.

"Umm, hi" Humphrey said waving.

"Hey there's a party at my friend's house later after school...I would love for you to come" Jane said smiling.

"Actually I already have plans after school" Humphrey said.

"Hey dude, please don't tell me these girls are supposed to be her last witnesses" I said losing all of hope.

"No of course not, those girls are" Humphrey said pointing to the table behind them filled with her other friends.

"Ohh right, why didn't I think of them" I said walking over to them.

"But, Humphrey…" Jane called out.

"Look the time is not right at the moment to talk about this" Humphrey said turning to her then back to following behind me.

"Hey guys" Sweets greeted with a smile.

"Hey you guys" Humphrey said smiling.

"Hello Humphrey" Candy asked in a dreamy tone.

"What brings you over here?..are you looking for Kate?" Sweets asked sitting her lunch down in the table.

"No not Kate but Winter, have any of you seen her?" Humphrey asked.

"No" Sweets said looking at Candy for a response.

"I have she told me she was going to the ladies room...I thought she would be with you by now" Candy said still staring at Humphrey who seemed uncomfortable.

"Hmm..something's wrong..do you know which one she went too?" I asked.

"That way" Candy said pointing in the direction.

"Thanks" I said walking off that way.

"No problem" Candy said growling seductively at Humphrey startling him to tuck his tail.

Humphrey and I took off the direction she told us, and it lead to the restroom by the girls gym. I stopped in front of the restroom door realizing something. That I'm not a girl...

"Humphreyyy buddy...how about-"

"Nope, I'm not doing it ask someone else" Humphrey said shaking his head no.

"Come on man don't act that way...I would've done the same if it was Kate" I said.

"Dude if it was Kate, I would have just gone in by now and not be a coward" Humphrey said leaning on the lockers with a smirk.

"Fine whatever just...knock if someone comes" I said walking in and he only nodded.

When I walked in, it smelled very sweet and looked way better than the boys restroom. I'll tell you for starters that our restroom don't have urinal stalls, soap, or mirrors, this is so unfair. I looked around and didn't see anyone in the restroom or feet underneath the stalls. I am guessing nothing went down in the restroom and left before someone comes in to see a perverted guy.

"See anything?" Humphrey asked putting his phone back in his pocket.

"Nah man…" I said shaking my head no.

"Maybe nothing's wrong...you never know sometimes things just happen with no reasoning until you see them again...she might pop up later today so just relax dude" Humphrey said touching his shoulder.

"But if she doesn't?" I asked.

"Then it'll be more easier to find her because she'll be looking for you too" Humphrey said.

"Okay I guess..but this is not something she would do I just know it" I said with a little depression in my voice.

"Cheer up dude here...take a pen" Humphrey said picking it up off the floor handing it to me.

"I don't want a pe-...wait….this is Winter's pen...why is it on the floor?" I asked turning the pen to see her name imprinted on the side.

"I dunno" Humphrey shrugged, then realizing something on the lockers behind me.

"Look turn around, look at this" Humphrey said pointing at the lockers. I turned around and saw a little blood on the far left of the lockers. Also, a small string of hair that's the same color as Winter's.

"Blood…" I said sniffing it. My eyes widened when I smelled the familiar scent.

"What?" Humphrey asked.

"It's Winter's scent" I said looking back at Humphrey.

"Why are we still standing here?...let's find out where it leads to" Humphrey said.

"Right let's go" I said about to take off where the scent will lead me until Humphrey put his arm in front of me.

"Wait…" Humphrey said sniffing the area.

"What do you smell?" I asked watching his move closely.

"Someone else….I think...it's….Stephanie?" Humphrey asked himself.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"This desperate girl who won't leave me alone, but why would she hurt Winter?" Humphrey asked confused.

"I don't know you tell me you're the one that knows her" I said reversing the question.

"Hmm...Stephanie….Stephanie…." Humphrey said thinking hard about something pacing side to side.

"Annnddd….." I said waiting for him to finish.

"Garth!" Humphrey shouted taking off towards the school exit.

"Wait what?...Garth?" I asked trying to catch up to him. I chased him all the way outside of school in the parking lot, to an empty car space. Humphrey looked around for some type of clues confusing me even more.

"What is this all about?..." I asked catching my breath leaning on a nearby car.

"I...I don't-...wait" Humphrey kneeled down picking up a pencil sniffing it.

"Ah ha Garth's scent" Humphrey said standing up handing it to me.

"Wow genius!...you found Garth's pencil how does this help us?" I asked not understanding what this had to do with finding my girlfriend.

"It's not Garth's pencil...look again" Humphrey said firmly. I turned the pencil and it read 'Winter Spring's property' on the side.

"But why would he do this?...I thought we were pals since grade 4?" I asked processing this in my head.

"I don't know but he's been acting weird lately...him and this new girl called Stephanie...I might not be the smartest guy in the world but I think they're working together to do something very bad" Humphrey said looking off into the distance of the parking lot.

"When I see him, I'm killing him" I said bluntly putting the pencil in my pocket, catching Humphrey's attention back to me.

"Hey look I wanted to kill the fucker too I don't blame you but it won't make things better only worse for you...don't fall for his traps because in the end you'll seem like the bad guy to the police...now there's a little bit of time and she can possibly be alive" Humphrey said.

"Well if so, what are we waiting for let's go" I said walking to my car that wasn't far from where we were standing.

"What the hell?...this isn't my licence plate" I said taking a closer look.

"You think he might have switched it?" Humphrey asked.

"I don't know but there's only one way to find out...press this" I said throwing a hum plug at him and he caught it. Humphrey looked at it strange not knowing what to do.

"What's this?" Humphrey asked getting in my car strapping on his seat belt.

"A hum, another one is built inside of my licence plate so if I get lost or my car breaks down in the middle of the desert with no signal...I can use the hum for someone to locate my position for help" I explained.

"Ohh, so this is supposed to locate them?" Humphrey asked.

"Yes, it'll even send the location to my phone" I said.

"Okay here goes nothing" Humphrey pressed the button and the location popped up on his GPS.

"What?...it says he's parked here at school" Humphrey said.

"Where at school?" I asked.

"By the varsity gym" Humphrey said squinting his eyes to see it better.

I made a U turn straight to the varsity gym to get down to this and find my girlfriend. We pulled up next to his parked car and got out to investigate. I can see dried up blood coming from out his trunk and a little on my licence plate.

"Hey you don't think…" Humphrey said looking at me.

"No, no, there's no damn way" I said feeling the world spin around me. The emotions I held in from the start couldn't stay in anymore. Tears streamed down my face one by one starting a river of them.

"I'm sorry" Humphrey said touching my shoulder. I bolded up my fist tightly trying to control my tears to no success just distress.

"I-I-I...was planning...on marrying...h-her" I sobbed looking away from the car trunk that tortured my eyes. Humphrey comforted me shocked not expecting me to say that.

"You were?' Humphrey asked.

"Yes, I-I fucking loved her...and he TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME!" I shouted with a lot of emotion in my voice slamming my hand on his trunk. Causing passing wolves walking by to look at us oddly.

"Calm down bud, there has to be more clues" Humphrey said trying to think. Humphrey walked to the driver side of the car opening the unlocked door. He then pulled the lever to open the trunk. I looked down at the trunk scared to see Winter's lifeless body.

"What are you waiting for?...it's the only way to know for sure" Humphrey said closing the door. I slowly opened the trunk, and when it was fully opened I looked away.

"Humphrey, is she in it I can't look?" I asked with my eyes shut tightly.

"There's a lot of blood...but it's empty" Humphrey said admiring the trunk.

"What?" I asked taking a look to see he's right.

"You think he ditched her body?" Humphrey asked looking at me then back to the trunk.

"I didn't but I do now…" I said saddened.

"Well, there's only a one option now" Humphrey said.

"What is that?" I asked.

"We have to find Garth.." Humphrey said with urgency in his voice.
