Humphrey couldn't believe what he was staring at. He was staring at a wolf. Not to mention it, a beautiful wolf. But she has to have a name right? Humphrey gulped and decided to ask her with confidence.
"Hey um...what's your name" he asked politely.
"Not till I can trust you" she said still growling at him.
"Okay okay" he said raising both of his paws up in the air. The female wolf glared at him again, making Humphrey gulped. He slowly glances at the entrance of the truck hoping that his "father" will come and save him, but then he notice something about the female wolf. She was also looking at the same way but with little bit of fear in her eyes.
"Alright Humphrey, I'm putting in the last bag in there for you" he said. The female gasped and Humphrey widened his eyes after realized why she was looking out.
"Hey can you get off of me real quick and hide please" Humphrey asked her. The female didn't respond anything to him. She just stood there frozen. "HEY!" The female blinked her eyes a couple of times before looking down at Humphrey. "You need to hide under the bed now" he said sternly.
The female nodded her head and hid under the bed. Humphrey ducked and looked at her.
"Go all the way back and close your eyes."
"What? Why" she asked concernedly.
"So he can't see your eyes in the dark" he replied to her. She nodded her head and closes her eyes. She heard the door opening and Humphrey panting. She heard them talking and opened her eyes a little.
The first thing she saw was Humphrey's wagging tail. She watched him as he sit, lay down, and roll over before a piece of something green fell onto the floor. Humphrey snatched it, and began chewing it madly. The female move up a little bit and looked at the entrance and saw "him" coming in with a baggage. She gasped and hid further deep under the bed. She immediately close her eyes tightly and waited, waited, and waited.
She felt movement right beside her and kept scooting deeper under the bed further down until she touched the wall. She waited again until she felt no movement at all.
She began slowly opening her eyes to see Humphrey looking at her with a green stick in his mouth.
"It's safe now" he mumbled. The female wolf slowly crawled out under the bed and sat down right beside him. She glanced at him eating that green stick. To be honest, the green stick smells so good. She watched him as he finish eating it before he looked back at her and she looked away.
She began shuffled her paws on deciding if she should tell him her name or not.
Humphrey over there, just tilted his head in confusion. The female sighed before slowly faced towards him.
"Kate. My name's Kate" she said softly. Humphrey smiled and walked over to the other side of the vehicle.
"Humphrey" he greeted her with a smile. "Oh I got something for you." Humphrey walked towards the bag, and Kate looked at him curiously as he dig through the bag. Humphrey brought out a bowl, then a bag of food. He poured it into the bowl before pushing towards Kate.
"Here. You must be hungry" he said smiling as he sat down.
"I am not hu" Kate yelped as the truck started. The truck started moving forward and Humphrey hold onto the bowl. Kate didn't expected this. She slid and slammed against the wall.
"Are you okay" Humphrey asked her.
"Yeah I'm fine. Like I said, I am not hungry" she replied until her stomach growl. Kate widened her eyes before her cheeks started to get red. Humphrey give her a cheeky smile before pushing the bowl towards her with his nose. Kate bent down, hesitating and looking at the food.
The food was odd looking one. It's a brown sphere, and it smelled so good. Kate looked at Humphrey before asking him a question.
"Is this food gonna poison me or what" she asked.
"What? No. It's not gonna poison you or anything. Just try and trust me. It taste so good" he said smiling. Kate raised one of her eye brows up before sniffing it and biting one of them. Kate widened her eyes then literally polishing the bowl. Humphrey chuckled by her actions and watched her as she finished up her food. He went to the bag again and brought out another bowl before pouring it with water.
He push it to Kate again and Kate took a sip of it. Humphrey widened his smile and sat down. After several minutes, Kate sighed and licked her lips.
"What is this stuff" she said smiling and wanting to know.
"Oh, it's Blue Wilderness" Humphrey answered.
"Blue Wilderness" she asked. "That's an odd name."
"I know, but that's what they called it anyways." Speaking of that, the window at the wall started to opened up. Kate gasped and quickly hide under the bed.
"Hey Humphrey how you doing back there" he said. Humphrey barked him happily letting him know about his situation. "Okay, it will take a long time to get there. Just letting you know." And with that, he close the window. Kate crawled out of the bed and sat down.
"Wait where are you guys going" she asked just making sure.
"We're going to Jasper. Speaking of that, why are you in here" he asked.
"I..." Kate paused and Humphrey saw her lips quiver and her tail shivering.
"You what" Humphrey continued. Kate took several deep breaths before letting them all out. Humphrey can tell something's wrong with her.
"I...was relocated by monsters-"
"Wait hold up. Monsters?"
"Yeah monsters. That one thing back there who was just talking to you is one of them."
"What..."
"Anyways, I got relocated by them to here, and I approached two birds. Marcel and Paddy. They led me here which they heard that you guys are going to Jasper. Apparently, they didn't even warned me that this monster has a dog." Humphrey was so confused on why she was calling them monsters.
"Is that what you call them?" Kate nodded her head and Humphrey sighed.
"I'm guessing you don't know this but they're actually called humans."
"Well I don't care."
"Jeez, what's your problem." Kate realized that she took her anger out of a random innocent one that didn't do anything to her. He just provided her with food and water.
"Never mind Humphrey" she said walking to the other side before laying down. Humphrey jumped on his bed before laying down as well. He glanced at Kate who was facing towards the wall. 'She must've had a rough day' he said in his mind. Humphrey yawned before closing his eyes. He was about to snooze off until Kate called out his name.
"Hey Humphrey. Are you sure you are a dog?"
"Yeah I'm sure why?"
"It's just...you don't look like one. You look more like a wolf rather than a dog. You're bigger than them, and probably stronger than them" Humphrey stood up a little and looked at the window to see the reflection of himself. "But maybe not stronger than them since they are in the hands of monsters." That word kind of annoys him.
Humphrey literally have the urge to ask her about that, and he had no idea what made humans monsters. His dad is not a monster. Neither do other humans he met. They always give him strange looks, but they never harmed him. Humphrey sighed and decided to ask her about that tomorrow, but he couldn't sleep at all.
That subject got stuck in his mind. What really made them monsters in their point of view?
Pretty freakin' easy answer to be honest, but decide to make it realistic as possible when it comes to humans and wild animals. So if you guys already know the villain since the very beginning of this story, yes. The villain or villains are humans. This is in their perspective on what they saw and think about us. And this story inspiration is towards that music animated video about animals and humans, and the arsonists that started the Australian fire. So, this story is probably gonna be the best one out of everything cause this is a very first time that I will add character development. What did you guys think? What will happen next? I'm TheRavenMocker. Be a raven, mock the ravens. We'll see you guys on the next flight.
