During the night, Kate was having trouble sleeping on the floor. She kept stirring in her sleep, rolling to her right side before the other. She squinted her closed eyes, and started running, knocking a few things down that didn't even wake her up, but only Humphrey. Humphrey stood up and rubbing his eyes before looking at Kate.

"Kate, what are you doing" he whispered loudly. Kate didn't respond, but only whimpered. Humphrey had seen this behavior before and immediately knew what it was. Kate was having a bad dream. "Kate?" Humphrey called her out several times before actually start shaking her shoulders.

Kate shot her eyes open and immediately tackle Humphrey onto the ground, slamming his head against the wall which cause a lot of commotions. The window opened, making Kate gasp before hiding under the bed.

"Hey Humphrey you okay back there" said the human. Humphrey barked at him and poke his head over the bed with a smile. The human chuckled before closing the window. Humphrey bent down and at the same; Kate began crawling out of the bed then it happened...

Their nose touches with their lips inches away from each other. Kate started blushing and Humphrey titled his head to the side, making Kate's face turn redder than ever.

"Um Kate, are you okay" Humphrey asked her. Kate didn't say anything, instead she pulled away and looked at a different direction. "Umm...did I do something wrong" he asked, and Kate nodded her head shyly. "What did I do?"

"You...You uhh..."

"I~ what?"

"Y-You...You stole my first kiss."

"WAIT A MINUTE! Hold up, how was that a kiss" he asked her in shocked.

"You never know what a kiss looks like" she asked him back.

"Uhhh no. I don't, but I see humans do it where they put their lips together" he said blushing a little bit.

"Well, that's another way of kiss but-"

"Yo Humphrey" said a voice coming out of the window. Humphrey perked his ears and looked out through the window to see a black and white marked vehicle that labeled K9. Inside the car at the back seat was a Dutch Shephard with black fur.

"Oh hey Sargent. What's up" Humphrey greeted him with a smile.

"Ehh nothing much" he replied before spotting Kate right next to Humphrey. "Oh and who is that?"

"Huh. Oh this is Kate. Kate, meet Sargent. He's a police dog."

"What's a police dog" she asked, making Sargent's ears perked up.

"Ah never mind" said Humphrey pushing Kate down.

"What does that mean" Sargent asked squinting his eyes a little.

"Uhh nothing. She doesn't know what it is so."

"Okay, but you got yourself a fine lady right there" he said smiling. Humphrey blushed, but he growled at him. Sargent laughed as he went to a different direction. Humphrey stared at the car as it disappeared over the hill. He sighed as he set both of his front paws down onto the ground. He looked up and saw Kate growling at him with blushing cheeks.

"I swear I'm gonna kill your friend Humphrey" she growled.

"I'm sorry Kate. He's always been like that" he replied nervously. Kate sighed and she sat down.

"It's okay..." Humphrey looked out of the window and saw that they were pulling up to a gas station. The truck parked right next to the gas pump, and Humphrey watched his father got out of his car, and went inside the store. Now, this is a great time to ask Kate about her issue with humans.

"So Kate..." Humphrey called out catching her attention. "So I've been wondering...why are you calling them monsters? What happened?" Kate froze when he said that. She laid her ears flat against her head, and wrapped her tail around her body a little bit.

"Um, I'm not sure if you feel comfortable with it" she suggested.

"No, I'ma be fine Kate. Trust me, I know my dad is not one of them, so why not if you don't mind telling me about it." Kate sighed and took a few deep breaths. This is the hardest part about telling to a pet who had been living throughout its life with a human.

"Alright...the reason why we call them monsters is because what they are capable of. They're the strongest, fastest, venomous, poisonous, and definitely the most dangerous and powerful animal of all time." This part confuses Humphrey. He titled his head to the side not remembering them being the venomous and poisonous...until he remembered going to the vet.

The Vet is the front gate of hell. A place that pets feared the most. Or maybe every animal on the planet. It made Humphrey's spine shiver at the memory of him getting vaccinated.

"They can camouflage really well to the point where we won't able be to see them. We wolves believe that they are the only animal that always catches their prey, and here comes the scariest part. If they see you, or you see them. You're dead in second, and the last thing you heard is BANG. If you manage to get an injury from their attack and start running from them, they will always find you and get to you. It's like a curse."

Humphrey had no idea how to react. He had no idea they are capable of doing this, but he had a clue what is she talking about.

"Kate, you know what they're actually called" he said putting them all together. Kate nodded her head and waited patiently. Her pack and other wolves had always been calling them monsters for years when they first appeared.

Sometimes, the monsters ignored them when they're passing by and look a lot different than the ones they been seeing all day long.

"They're called hunters, and poachers. They are the main reason why some animals went extinct, and most of them are critically endangered." Kate widened her eyes when she heard that is probably the most terrifying words in her life.

When he said they are the main reason why some animals went extinct, it increases her fear to the point where she didn't want to go outside. Hell it even gives her flashbacks when she was in alpha school. Kate gulped remembering making eye contact with them.

"So that's what they're actually called..." she said nervously.

"Let me guess...you encounter them before?"

"Yeah...as a pup when I was in alpha school...


Kate was walking through the training grounds. She was talking to her friends about boys, and their type. When her friends asked her about it, Kate was about to answer the question until there was a lot of commotion down the trail.

"What was that" asked one of her friends.

"I don't know, but let's go check it out" said Kate running towards it. As they got closer, they soon start to smell blood. Up ahead, there was a lot of pups and wolves surrounding something. They only catch the color and saw it was bright tan. Kate and her friends thought it was a fawn until they realized it was something else when they walked around the corner of the crowd.

It was a golden retriever covered in blood and scratches, but was still alive.

"Help...me" she whimpered. Kate looked up and saw a black and white male wolf known as Peter.

Peter smiled and licked his lips. He opened his mouth and put his jaws around her neck ready to finish her off to feast on her body until another wolf tackled him to the ground.

"PETER ARE YOU CRAZY!" He yelled at his face.

"What do you mean I'm crazy Hector? I'm not. I'm just ready to serve dinner that's all."

"No that's what I meant. Do you remember the laws of the pack Peter? The most important law out of every law. Do not attack a dog, cat or any animal that are in the hands of them."

"Yeah whatever. I bet it's just to scare everyone else."

"Have you not heard any stories about the monsters?!"

"I've heard about it, but I think it's just a fairy tale." Kate heard about them too. These stories were passed down to generations to any animal. Some of them went hiding in fear, and it made Kate scared a little bit when her parents told about them.

"A fairy tale?! Are you insane or wha-" Then, they stopped talking. Every wolf stopped chattering...

The whole forest got completely silent. No birds chirping, no frogs croaking. You know why? A familiar scent hit their nose like a lightning bolt. This scent is not normal. Whenever you smell a scent that is strikingly different, there is an animal. Strong enough to face against mother nature.

Kate looked up and saw everyone staring right behind her.

Kate slowly turned around and saw nothing until she saw a light flash with in a millisecond followed by a loud sound. She felt someone collapsed right in front of her, so she turned to her left and saw a male wolf with a bleeding hole on his forehead.

"RUUUN!"

Then, a tall figure about six feet tall came out of its hiding spot. Kate gasped and ran the other way. She then heard the most terrifying roar in her life.

"GET AWAY FROM MY DOG!"

Kate screamed and ran faster, faster than a normal pup can run. She heard several loud sounds right behind her and saw wolves dropping left and right. She then saw her teacher right in front of the group gathering pups up to go a different route.

Kate ran towards him until she smell another scent. She saw her teacher looking right behind him and saw another figure coming from the trees.

"IT CAN CAMOUFLAGE!" Kate's teacher launched forward, and the animal stopped him from doing so by putting an odd looking stick into his mouth before pinning him against the ground. No animal in the world can blend into the environment completely. It's literally impossible. Kate gasped when she saw the monster lifting the longest, and the thickest claw she had ever seen. It strikes right through his head, and Kate ran back to the opposite direction until she slid into a stop, and saw the monster lifting the dog up.

Kate shrinks to the point where her whole body laid completely flat on the ground. This monster was wearing tree branches and leaves. The monster looked at her, and Kate gasped.

She was staring at the eyes of the greatest, and the most feared apex predator in the world. Kate ran the other way and hid into a small borrow. She looked back and crawled backwards until she hit something soft.

Kate screamed and looked back to find her friends and other pups hiding and shaking in fear. Kate gasped and stared at the entrance. A foot planted right in front of it, and no one made a sound.

"Where are they?! I'm not done with them to what they did to my dog" it said angrily.

"Dude calm down. Let's go back to our camp."

"But-"

"We've done enough. Now let's go" it said followed by a click and a golden small pole landed onto the ground. She saw them leaving the area, but no one dared to leave their hiding spot. They waited and waited until other wolves found them. Kate ran to her parents and started crying her eyes out for the fear of her life.


Humphrey had no words to say. He knew that the monsters that Kate was talking about are the hunters. He looked down at the ground and saw Kate's paws shivering a little bit. He can tell that she was traumatized by them. He couldn't blame her.

"I'm...I'm not sure if I can trust you fully because...you're with the monster that is literally right there" she said looking at the window. Humphrey sighed. He realized something else that almost animals haven't realized. Not all of them aren't bad.

"Kate...my dad is a good guy. He is not going to hurt you I promise. Besides, not all of them aren't bad guys. They're really kind and willing to help anyone out."

"Easy for you to say."

"I know it's hard to understand, but really. Not all of them aren't bad." Kate sighed and laid down, avoiding his glances.

"Whatever" she replied. Humphrey shrugged his shoulders and sat down right beside her.

"Did you know that dogs used to be wolves?"

"What kind of knowledge is that? No they are not."

"Yes they are. They're just a different type of wolves that's all. Plus, humans know what's going on around the world. They can cure illness, diseases, and other stuff."

"That name is strange. Is that what they're actually called" Kate asked, and Humphrey smiled and nodded his head.

"Yeah, why don't you give it a try and say it instead of saying monsters."

"Uhhhh...Homans" Kate stuttered with blushing cheeks. It is really weird to call their actual names, and it's really embarrassing for her.

"No...Humans."

"Uhhh humans?"

"There ya go. You got it" he said smiling with his tail wagging. Kate smiled, and they both started laughing in the truck.

No cliffhanger because why not lol. Just a happy ending with this chapter. Tbh, this chapter is probably the most darkest one I ever done. Remember, this is their perspective.
