A/N: Hey Guys It Feels Good To Be Back Typing Again. I'm Not Going To Say Much So I Hope You Guys Enjoy :)
Chapter 21 No Turning Back
Zach P.O.V
I woke up to laughing and a loud explosion from the tv and I realized I must have dozed off on vanossgaming last night. I turned my ps3 and tv off with the remotes and looked at the time on my dresser. It read 3:47 a.m. and that's more than enough time to start my project. I don't want to do nothing else today but chill. Kate was sleeping adorably on my chest kicking a little and lightly snoring. This forced a smile on my face and I kissed her forehead, placing a smirk on Kate's face. I carefully moved her aside and put the covers over her so she wouldn't freeze to death. My iPhone vibrated making a small noise on my wooden dresser. I picked it up typed in my pin code, and the brightness almost blinded me. (I Hate That So Much Lol)
It was an unread text message from Alex at 10:47 p.m. saying. "Don't forget in 10 hours that I need your help on the wolf documentary" I sighed to myself as I actually forgot about that, and was upset I don't get to relax today. I grabbed my iPhone earbuds from off floor and put them in my ears. The first song that came to mind was Comfortable by K Camp so I played it. I walked out the door singing along quietly as I looked for my supplies for my project.
My McDonald's backpack was the first thing I saw next to the couch, so I walked over to it and grabbed it. I carried it to the kitchen section of the rv and sat it on the table while I turned on the lights. "Now I need my laptop and card board...but it's in the car" I thought.
I walked back in my room and turned down my earbuds volume so I wouldn't wake my beautiful angle Kate from her beauty sleep. My Jordan slides was the closest to the door so I slipped them on quickly and exited the room to my parents room. Once I got past the kitchen it got pretty dark so I used my phone brightness to lead my path. I quietly opened the door and it was even more darker in their room then the entire rv. All I can hear is heavy snoring and slow steady breathing "Yep that's my mom" I thought with a chuckle.
I eventually found the keys on top of the tv with the help of my phone god like powers. When I think about it, I'm kind of tip-toeing in my Jordans like that vine or song. Few moments later I crept through the rv darkness and unlocking the door opening it. Revealing a nice cool and breezy amazing night. I walked down the rv steps and pressed the button to open the trunk and it rose up automatically. "I love this car good thing I won the contest for the best art drawing" I thought.
I made it to the back of the car and grabbed my all white card board for presentation and my laptop back to print it out. The trunk closed automatically when my presents was gone and with haste I walked back inside because I was starting to get cold. I sat my things down for a second to close and lock the door then I carried on to the kitchen table. My laptop must have been on from the sound it was making as I sat down with my card board. As I took it out my laptop backpack a new song played called Cheerleader by OMI featuring Kid Ink. "Why do people like this song?..." I thought.
I turned the printer on and opened my laptop and got started on typing my documentary about wolves. 50 minutes of non-stop typing I printed out a few pictures of wolves and I cutted them out gluing it to the card board. With a hot glue gun by the way. Then I drew a little extra things on it to make it look more hand made. After 20 more minutes I was finished drawing howling wolves all over it and it looked better than I thought it would. I printed out my graph of their worldwide population and their habits of life and ect.
It needs to look perfect so instead of gluing it like the wolf pictures, I stabled them. When I was finished daylight was inching its way in the kitchen window. I couldn't hear them because of my music, but I'm pretty sure the birds were probably chirping. I leaned back admiring my A+ creation and it looked like a masterpiece, but it's missing something.
"Lights" I said outloud taking my earbuds out.
I walked to the living room section and opened this box of Christmas lights. There was all white small lights that was perfect for my project, and could fix the cardboard presentation without it falling. I walked over to my set up and poked small holes through the cardboard, placing lights in them. When I was finished I taped the wire short with clear tape to the cardboard so it wouldn't look so long. Then I sat it on the counter wide opened and plugged it into the wall outlet giving the kitchen more light.
"Perfect" I said smiling to myself admiring it.
I walked to the sink and washed my hands from the dried up glue and a little blood from cutting myself with the scissors. When I finished I was starting to get hungry, so for now I'll make some cereal until my mom wakes up. The sound of metal tingling was coming from my room and I knew it was Kate's new collar.
I grabbed two bowls because I knew she would want some too, and then I opened the fridge taking out the Silk Soy milk. Kate walked out my room yawning as her claws and metal collar made it really noticeable she's here as she walked.
"Morning sleepy head...sleep well?" I said smiling.
"Yeah I had the best dream ever" Kate said smiling hopping in the chair with a wagging tail.
"That's good" I said smiling.
"You're not going to ask what I dreamed about?" Kate asked.
"There's no need to...you told me in your sleep last night" I said chuckling and she turned her head hiding her blush. I poured me some Cinnamon Toast Crunch in my bowl and before I can ask, Kate said.
"Cookie Crisp please" Kate said cheerfully and I chuckled at her happy outburst.
"Cookie Crisp it is" I said chuckling grabbing it from the top of the fridge and pouring it in her bowl.
When I was making her cereal, she grabbed the remote with her mouth and turned the tv on with her nose. Teen Titans Go! was on and she happy squealed in excitement.
"I've never seen this one" Kate said wagging her tail as I placed her bowl in front of her.
"I have...it's when they-"
"Shhhhh don't tell me" Kate whined not taking her eyes off the tv. I laughed because she acts just how I used to act when dad tried to spoil the episodes.
"Okay okay" I said chuckling sitting down eating and watching Teen Titans Go! with her.
After a while I was finished and Kate was still eating slash drinking getting milk everywhere.
"Woah Kate...do you have a hole in your mouth?" I asked chuckling as she swallowed the remaining milk that was in her mouth.
"Sorry" Kate said giggling then licked the milk off the table.
"It's fine just make sure the milk stays in your mouth, okay?" I said laughing and getting up to put my bowl in the dishwasher.
"I'll try" Kate said giggling drinking more.
"Want more?...looks like you're almost done" I said looking in her bowl at the same time putting my bowl in the dishwasher.
"No thanks" Kate muffed out shaking her head no with milk filled in her cheeks.
"Okay" I said laughing at her big cheeks.
I walked to my project I recently finished, and unplugged it to put it in my room. Kate heard the noise I was making from picking it up, and quickly turned her attention away from the tv.
"What is that?" Kate asked wagging her tail.
"Oh, it's my uh, school project I'm working on about your kind...so what do you think?" I asked holding it better so she can see.
"It looks awesome, that's definitely an A plus" Kate said smiling.
"Thanks Katiepie, it better be because I cut and burned my fingers like 17 times" I said chuckling and she giggled before I walked in my room.
I sat my documentary close to the door but not quite so it won't get messed up when I open it. My phone vibrated in my pocket and my hands was anxious to see who it was. I reached in my pocket to get my Iphone, and once I got it out of sleep mode I saw Apple's name slide across my screen.
Apple: Good Morning
Zach: Buenos dias! ¡Qué Tal?
Apple: What?
Zach: It means good morning how are you in spanish lol
Apple: Oh cool I never knew you speak spanish
Zach: Because I'm dominican duhh Lol
Apple: Lml Can you teach me some?
Zach: Sure what you want to say?
Apple: Just the basics
It's been a full 30 minutes of teaching her spanish through text, and I'll have to admit it was kind of fun. We soon led off topic and talked about other things like school work, places we wish we can visit, and politics. Not that I wanted to talk about politics, but it seems like she loves talking about it when I mentioned the government. Then we sent funny pictures along with emojis to each other and lord Jesus they had me dead. For the first time I actually know a human girl that has a lot in common with me. Not to mention our birthdays are in the same month.
Apple: This is too much to text can I just call you?
Then suddenly I heard Kate's collar and I realized I've been gone too long. She must be coming to see why I'm gone for so long.
Zach: No actually I'm about to leave but I'll call you in a couple hours okay?
Apple: Okay fine with me bye Zach!
Zach: Bye A!
I put my IPhone in my pocket just in time before Kate walked in. Kate jumped in my bed and licked my cheek with a smile on her face.
"Why are you in here alone?" Kate asked.
"Oh I was texting a friend" I said smiling.
"Was it a girl?" Kate asked with a eyebrow.
"Yeah, she helped me get this beautiful collar for my beautiful mate" I said kissing her nose.
"Zach you know-"
"Look don't worry about me cheating on you because cheating isn't even in my vocabulary and never will...we've been through so much and I'll be damned if this end up with me leaving alone and us apart...you're my life, soul, and breath...without those things I wouldn't be here" I said wrapping my arms around her kissing her neck.
"You always make me realized how much I love you" Kate said smiling.
"Because everyday when I see you I realize how much I love you" I said smiling gazing in amber eyes.
"So...ready to spend time with your mom before we leave soon?" I asked and her tail thumped on the bed but stopped.
"Whats wrong?" I asked.
"I want to spend time with her but...If it goes well, I'll miss her so much when we leave" Kate said sadly.
"Well we can all take a selfie together so you can have something to remember her by visually if that helps" I said.
"No it won't help, but it's a start I guess" Kate said smiling.
"Okay give me a second to talk to my mom and dad then we can go asap" I said moving her off me then walking to my closet.
I'm pretty sure it's probably still cool outside since it's the first week of spring. So I slipped on my Lakers sweater and matching beanie again. Then I changed into my Levi pants and I can hear Kate's panting behind me.
"I'm guessing you saw something you liked?" I said with a chuckle and she only nodded with her tongue on the side of her muzzle.
I took my phone and earbuds out the pants I just took off and put it in my pants pockets I'm wearing now.
"Alright let's go" I said smiling walking out my room with her closely following.
Mom and dad looked like they were waking up since their room lights were on. I unlocked the door and opened it, then a fresh cooling breeze blew in.
"I'll try to see if dad have any gas for my bike...I don't feel like walking" I said.
"Yes!" Kate shouted running outside and I chuckled.
"She really loves your dirt bike" Dad said making me jump scared.
"Dad please don't do that" I said breathing heavily recovering from my jump scare relieved it was only dad.
"Sorry, so where are you going?" Dad said turning Teen Titans Go! to ESPN Sports.
"I'm just dropping Kate off to her mom so they can spend time together before we leave...what time do we leave again?" I asked.
"5 o' clock sharp...but what are you doing after you drop her off?" Dad asked sitting down.
"I have to help a friend in a few hours on her animal documentary" I said and on cue mom came from out their room.
"Buenos dias baby" Mom said kissing my cheek then walking in the kitchen.
"Buenos dias...mom I'll be back I'm going to drop Kate off to spend more time with her mom before we leave" I said.
"Okay when you came back we need your help to pack up" Mom said opening the fridge.
"Sure thing mom" I said.
"What time you're helping your friend that's mysteriously a girl?" Dad asked.
"10:00" I said.
"It's 6:53 now so after you come back and help us pack, maybe me and you can go fishing or maybe test shooting some of my guns?" Dad asked.
"Definitely the guns" I said.
"Oh my god can you guys stay away from violence and guns for a day?" Mom asked.
"We're men...guns and violence is our middle names" Dad said with a chuckle. Before I can say anything Kate came back.
"Zachyybear are we leaving or not?...oh hi Mr and Mrs Martin" Kate said cheerfully wagging her tail.
"Hello Kate how is your morning?" Dad asked smiling.
"It's been good and it'll be a lot better when we leave on an awesome bike" Kate said tugging my pants leg.
"Isn't it out of gas?" Mom asked.
"Yeah that's actually what I was about to ask if you guys have any?" I asked.
"Ummm I think I've might have some in a gas canister" Dad said getting up walking into his room, and for a split second he was back with a gas canister.
"Don't use it all I need some for the car J.I.C" Dad said handing it to me.
"J.I.C?" Kate asked with a tilted head.
"Just in case" I said walking out the door.
"Ohhh" Kate said following me closing the door behind.
I walked to where the last place I saw my bike and it wasn't there.
"What the?" I said looking around.
"It's over here!" Kate said running to it and it was pointing towards the direction of her pack.
"Hmmm I wonder how it get over here" I said chuckling.
"I might have sorta moved it" Kate said giggling.
"I know you did but how?" I asked.
"I have my way with things" Kate said giggling.
"Girl power" I said pumping my fist walking to my bike.
"Exactly" Kate said laughing.
I twisted the cap off and filled it up with gas and less than a minute it was enough to get us there and back. I pulled the cord and it roared making a loud echo through the half darkened woods. Then I twist the cap back on the gas canister sitting it down next to the rv steps. I walked back to my dirt bike and got on twisting the handle a few time to hear it roar louder.
"Want me to he-"
Before I finished my sentence she hopped on the back perfectly wrapping her forearms around my waist.
"Nevermind" I said chuckling then I took off at an blazing speed with my headlights on.
Kate's P.O.V
We were riding through the slightly darkened woods as the sun barely peaked over the horizon. Zach was doging and hopping over fallen logs at least 50 mph. This was probably one of the best rides in my life. I know it's way better than log sledding for sure. What made it better is Zach can do this cool trick called a wheelie I think, and it's so scary but fun at the same time. I wonder how roller coasters are compared to this, I would love to ride one some day. Zach told me a roller coaster can be 60 feet high and just drop, It's going to be so amazing because I love heights.
We were getting close to the pack borders and that really was a bummer because I don't want the fun to end. Zach came to a stop and turned off his engine and it was replaced by growling. I hopped off his bike and said.
"It's okay he's with me, keep patrolling east" I said firmly.
"Are you serious? I'm not taking orders from a pup...now move out the way let me handle this kiddo" The he-wolf said.
"I wonder what my mom Eve-"
"Okay okay fine do as you will just please don't tell her" The he-wolf said cowardly backing up to let us pass.
"That's what I thought...come on Zachyybear" I said cheerfully walking in the direction of the pack leader's den.
"Wow a lot of wolves is scared of your mom" Zach said.
"Because they know what she's cable of doing" I said.
"I know that but...damn" Zach said as he walked in a spider web and started running around crazy.
"Ahhh get it off!...Get it off!...Get It offf!" Zach shouted trying to get it off. I would help him but I was too busy rolling on the ground in laughter.
Zach threw off his sweater with his hands on his knees catching his breath. When he caught his breath and I calmed down from laughing, he glared at me angry.
"You think that's funny?" Zach said in a playfully angry voice.
"No I don't think it's funny because it was hilarious" I said laughing again.
"Oh really I'll give you something to laugh about" Zach said tickling me all over. I tried to hold it in and not give him what he wanted, but I was defeated.
"Hahaha okay...haaha...I...give...hahahahaha...up" I said laughing hysterically and he stopped.
"Human 1 future alpha 0" Zach said playfully tapping my nose. I pounced on him and I seeked dominance without even fighting for it. It's like he just let me do it.
"What was that?" I asked holding his shoulders down.
"Nothing...I love you" Zach said leaning forward. It's hard to hide how much I love him so I leaned forward too.
"I love-" before I finished he turned me over seeking dominance with a large smirk on his face.
*Gasp*
"You tricked me" I said stunned I fell for that.
"Yep you're still gullible" Zach said chuckling.
"I'M NOT FREAKING G-"
I was cut short when his soft wet lips met mine, as we shared a passionate kiss. This is probably one of the best kisses we ever had because it lasted for a solid minute until he broke away.
"You know I really wasn't trying to trick you...I meant what I said" Zach said smiling.
"Yeah you were, you know what you was doing" I said playfully muffing his face with my paw so I can get up. Once I did I shook the dirt off of me.
"No really...I didn't think you would actually want to kiss me back" Zach said chuckling.
"Of course I would, I can't hide my love for you...no matter what we are doing" I said smiling and he smirked. It was a 5 second silence and it looked like something was on his mind because he started daydreaming at the ground.
"Everythings okay?" I asked walking to him brushing my tail on his leg.
"Can I ask you something?" Zach asked.
"You know you can ask me anything" I said smiling.
"I bet you can't beat me to the pack leader's den" Zach said smiling.
"Oh you're...ON!" I yelled taking off only leaving dirt and smoke behind.
"Hey! get back here!" Zach said running after me.
"You can't beat me!" I yelled laughing.
He was pretty fast for a human he never reached past me but he was keeping up. We ran through the hunting grounds passing a couple of wolves getting ready for their hunt when daylight was more available. I can hear Zach's footsteps and he was gaining on me quick. "I can't let him beat me, come on Kate faster" I thought determined running as fast as I can. Half A minute later I was running up the slope and came to a sliding stop in the den.
Mom looked like she was having a meeting with some of the alphas, and guess who's there with them...Amber.
"Kate is everything okay?" Mom asked worriedly rushing past the alphas.
"No...nothing's...wrong" I said panting.
"Then why are you running in? You nearly scared me to death" Mom said getting a little furious.
"I'm sorry...mom...Zach and I were r-racing" I said slowly but surely catching my breath.
"Where is he?" Amber asked.
"I have no clue...wait...I need to find him, he could be hurt" I said starting to get worried facing the den entrance.
"Don't worry I'm fine!" Zach yelled outside the den and I sighed in relief. Couple seconds later he walked in and frozed.
"Woahhh bad time?" Zach asked seeing there's at least 7 alpha wolves in here.
"Yes this is very important" Mom said firmly.
"Why what's wrong?" I asked.
"I'll tell you later sweetie just run along and play with Zach and your friends" Mom said.
"But I thought we were supposed-"
"I know dear...we'll hang out in a minute okay?...I promise" Mom said smiling.
"Okay fine..." I said sighing and pulling Zach's pants leg. He followed me out the den and down the slope. We walked back to his bike and the whole walk was quiet. His bike was in sight and I was more than excited to ride it again.
"What you think that was about?" Zach asked.
"Probably about the pack moving to a different territory for food" I said.
"Doesn't that mean you guys go to war?...right?" Zach asked stopping me in my tracks.
"Oh my god we're going to war?!" I shouted in panic and he placed his hand over my muzzle.
"Shhh...we're just thinking conclusions we're not 100% sure they're going to war...even if they are I don't think Eve wants the whole pack to know just yet...they'll go crazy" Zach said uncovering my muzzle.
"You're right sorry just freaked out there...but why does everything has to be so messed up?...why can't we all live in peace and harmony?" I asked sadly many wolves are going to die and possibly the only parent I have.
"Well there's this game all wild life animals and sometime humans are forced to play...it's called survival" Zach said rubbing my back.
"What if my mom dies?...she's all I have left after...you know" I said sadly with tears forming in my eyes.
"Hey don't worry, you're mom is a well trained alpha...she has to be badass if alpha males are afraid of her" Zach said and I couldn't help but smile at his remark.
"There's that beautiful smile I'm looking for" Zach said kissing my nose.
"Thanks for always being there for me...you're the best" I said hugging him.
"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I wasn't?" Zach asked jokingly chuckling.
"A pretty bad one" I said giggling breaking away from him.
"By the way what happened to you back there?" I asked and he had a puzzled face.
"When we were racing" I said and he chuckled.
"Oh I gave up, you were too fast...you wasn't going for the first down you was trying to score...I was like...wow" Zach said chuckling and I laughed.
"You were catching up and I got scared that I might lose" I said laughing and he laughed too.
"I'll beat you one day...don't believe me just watch" Zach said poking my side.
"Keep dreaming it's never going to happen" I said giggling.
"Oh you'll be surprised how fast I can run you just got lucky I'm wearing jeans..." Zach said chuckling
"Whatever you say...can we go now?" I asked excitedly I'm riding his bike again.
"Well actually I'm just leaving...dad and I are doing somethings today after we finished packing" Zach said.
"Again?" I asked slightly angry.
"Come on don't be like that...we've hanged out every day since we met each other, it's not fair for him since I'm the only guy" Zach said stroking my back.
"I know but I'm so bored without you" I said.
"What about your friends?" Zach asked.
"No offense to them but they're not as fun as you are" I said and he chuckled.
"Oh yeah?...I always thought the things I do was average quite boring" Zach said.
"No you're hilarious and weird at the same time..." I said giggling.
"Haha I am pretty weird aren't I?" Zach said chuckling.
"More than pretty weird...but in a good way" I said smiling.
"Yeah I get it from my dad...but just a wonder...if I were to be a wolf, what rank you think I would be?" Zach asked.
"A Beta maybe" I said.
"Whats a Beta?" Zach asked.
"Both Alpha and Omega" I said.
"Why so?" Zach asked.
"Because you're athletic and have the most goofiest personality ever" I said smiling.
"No I don't" Zach said making a silly face and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Do it again" I said laughing and he did it again but with his tongue out this time. I lost my balance from laughing so hard, but thanks to Zach he caught me.
I got lost in his dreamy hazel eyes that I loved so much, and I can see the reflection of my eyes in his. The moment just felt right so I leaned forward slowly closing my eyes. Before we kissed something hit him on the head.
"Oww what the heck?" Zach said rubbing his head.
"I think is was that thing" I said motioning to a small rolling white ball that soon came to a stop.
"A golf ball?...who plays golf in the middle of the woods?" Zach said picking it up.
"What is golf?" I asked.
"A boring game where you hit this ball in a hole from a far distance" Zach said. (No Offence If You Like Or Love Golf)
"That doesn't sound boring" I said.
"Oh it doesn't now but when you're playing and you miss repeatedly it gets frustrating" Zach said chuckling
"I still want to give it a try at least" I said giggling.
"I think you'll like putt-putt better" Zach said.
"What's that? sounds interesting" I said.
"Its golf but wayy easier and a lot more fun...but anyway I have to go" Zach said checking the time on his phone.
"Aww can you stay a little longer" I whined he's leaving so early.
"I wish but packing up is going to take a while so I rather start early than later...I'll be back at noon okay" Zach said smiling. I sighed and said
"I'll see you then I guess...I love you" I said smiling.
"I love you more...see you later" Zach said as we shared a quick kiss before going our separate ways.
I watched him get on his bike starting it up, then he waved at me. I waved back with a big smile on my face and he took off. "I wonder what my friends are up too...probably still sleep" I thought.
I walked to the meadow and the sun was starting to peek over the mountains and hills. There wasn't a lot of wolves in the meadow just yet and that's the way I like it. I made my way to the lake for a quick drink before I got to Sweets and Candy's den to see if they're awake. When the sound of water met my ears I started jogging to get there faster, then suddenly I heard laughter and water splashing.
Candy and Sweets were slashing each other while Lilly rested at the bank looking clearly bored. So I decided to play a prank on her and crept up on Lilly stealthy. When I was within 2 feet from her, I growled loudly and she jumped scared falling in the water. I rolled in laughter holding my stomach because it hurt so bad as tears escaped my eyes. Candy and Sweets was in the same situation I was in but worse because they're in water laughing hysterically. Lilly quickly jumped out shaking dry and her fur puffed up.
"My furrrr...It's going to take forever to get it straight again" Lilly whined. I slowly calmed down but Candy and Sweets were laughing like this was the funniest thing they saw in their life.
"This is your fault" Lilly said angrily growling at me. I couldn't help but laugh even more because she looked so harmless when she's puffy.
Lilly pounced on me easily and nearly tickled me to death. "Why does everyone love to tickle me?" I thought.
"Hahaha please stop...you win...I'm sorry" I laughed out. She stopped immediately when she saw my collar and moved off of me.
"What's that around your neck?...did the humans catch you or something?" Lilly asked admiring it.
"Yes a human caught my heart...Zach brought it for me...isn't it beautiful?" I asked dreamily admiring it myself and all of their jaws dropped.
"What?" I asked blushing a little.
"Are you two...dating?" Candy asked shocked and I got up shaking the dirt off me.
"Maybe" I said shyly walking to the bank of the lake to get a quick drink.
"Your mom is going to kill you" Sweets said with a gulp.
"She already knows...he's different then any old human...he doesn't hunt our kind and he's actually in love with wolves" I said smiling licking the remaining water from my muzzle.
"Did your mother approve?" Lilly asked really concerned. I only nodded with a big smile and said.
"Not at first but when he gave me this collar and sung this sweet song to me last night at the howl, she let us be together" I said blushing slightly.
"Aww that's so sweet...I wish I had a boyfriend now" Candy said swimming to shore then shaking dry once she got out.
"Me too" Sweets said sadly swimming out the water too and shaking dry.
"So what do you guys want to do today?" I asked.
"I don't know but I know what you're going to do today" Lilly said.
"What?" I said.
"Get my fur back the way it was" Lilly said angrily.
"Hahaha okay calm down" I said giggling picking up a nearby pine cone and combing her fur. It took a while to finish because Lilly has a lot of fur, but I got the job done and threw it aside.
"Now what?" I asked
"We can see what the guys are up too?" Candy suggested.
"Orrrr?..." Lilly asked fixing her hair over her right eye as usual.
"Or ummm...I have nothing" Candy said.
"Sweets?" Lilly asked and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Kate got anything?" Sweets asked.
"We can race?" I asked and they all sighed.
"No you win every time it's not fun anymore" Sweets whined.
"Okay how about tag?...it's close enough to racing...if you haven't notice I really love running" I said stretching my shoulders.
"No shit" Candy said under her breath.
"What was that?" I asked walking towards her and she started backing up.
"Oh, uh, nothing" Candy said laughing nervously. I tapped her shoulder her and said
"Tag you're it"
Then running away and we all split up immediately.
"Hey that's not fair! I didn't know we were starting!" Candy yelled.
"Oh well bad luck!" Sweets yelled laughing.
1 hour later
The sun was well high over the trees, the crickets quiet down so the birds can begun their morning songs. Cool breezes were blowing spreading refreshing air everywhere. This morning is obviously going to be beautiful. We've been playing tag for over an hour now and just once I was it. Most likely because I'm too fast and set high standards for myself. I was chasing Lilly gaining on her quick and I was only jogging. (Not Literally)
"You're not catching me this time!" Lilly shouted jumping over fallen logs and I was close on her tail.
"You can't escape the greatest alpha ever!" I shouted then I suddenly felt pain on my face as I ran into a tree.
"I just did!" Lilly shouted running out of sight. I got up and shook the dirt off of me and glared at the tree angrily.
"Grrr...why is this here anyway? stupid tree" I said clawing the bark off leaving huge claw marks. Once I got it out my system I started sniffing for Lilly's scent.
I took three steps in the direction she ran and found her scent instantly. "You can run but you can't hide" I thought running the way she went.
I ran for about 40 seconds until I heard a loud sliding noise and screaming.
"KATE LOOK OUT!" Humphrey shouted while him and his friends flew in mid air. I quickly dove out the way just in time barely missing a tree.
Humphrey and his friends crashed into a rock and went flying falling on top of each other one by one. I was still furious from what he said last night to Zach and now today he almost hit me. I was slow to get up because I landed on my paw very awkwardly and it started to hurt. Humphrey push Salty, Shakey, and Mooch off of him which was quite impressive for Humphery size to move all that weight. He ran to me and helped me up but I pushed him away from me with my good paw.
"I don't need your help get your paws off of me" I said trying limping away but almost fell again.
"We're sorry Kate I'm just trying to make sure you're okay...you need to go to the pack healer I think you might have sprained your paw" Humphrey said.
"Where you think I'm going dumbass?" I asked rudely walking past him. Humphrey walked in front of me growling with an angry facial expression showing all of his teeth.
"What is wrong with you? I said I'm sorry" Humphrey growled angrily.
"Sorry is not going to cover for what you said to Zach last night" I shouted.
"Oh that stupid human Zachyybear?" Humphrey said mocking my voice.
"He's not stupid you jerk" I said defending Zach.
"Kate be completely honest with me, what do you see in him?" Humphrey asked.
"He's smart, funny, fun-loving, caring and sweet...I love him Humphery we were made for each other why can't you understand?" I asked irritated.
"Because he's a fucking human!" Humphrey shouted.
"Woah Humphrey chill just let it go bro" Salty said.
"Yeah man just come on...you're only an omega" Shakey said.
"What's that's supposed to mean?" Humphrey asked.
"It means you two couldn't be together anyway...haven't you heard the law?" Shakey asked.
"Yes, I was actually planning on going to alpha school to be with...Kate" Humphrey said sadly and I gasped. Not that I was surprise, but that he was going to become an alpha just to be with me.
"Humphery am I really worth it?...I mean there's plenty of other girls out there you have to keep looking" I said sitting down.
"None of them would ever compare to you...Kate ever since you opened those beautiful pair of amber eyes as a newborn pup I loved you...I could never stop thinking or dreaming about you and all these months of trying to impress you failed...when Zachyybear or whatever his name is came and stole your heart in 2 days I was shocked and heartbroken...it took 5 months for us to at least have sleepovers as best friends" Humphrey said.
"Humphrey you should have told me how you felt a long time ago...and I would have maybe gave us a try" I said smiling and he smiled too.
"Can you give us a try just for one day?" Humphrey asked.
"I'm sorry Humphery it's too late I'm in love with someone else...I don't believe in cheating" I said as nice as I can so he won't feel bad.
"What about a kiss?" Humphrey asked leaning forward and I slowly backed away.
"Humphrey what are you doing?" I asked.
Mooch walked up to Humphrey and pulled him away but he was losing grip and inching closer to me.
"Let me go Mooch just one kiss" Humphrey said trying to get free slowly succeeding. Salty and Shakey soon helped Mooch and I've never seen Humphery so strong before. It literally took three wolves to hold him back and he was still getting closer to me. I got up and decided to limp away to the pack healer's den before this gets out of paw.
"Humphrey come on man she doesn't want you give up!" Salty yelled holding him back.
"No I've waited 5 months for this..." Humphrey said breaking free running full speed towards me then tackling me.
"Humphrey get off of me! Leave me alone!" I shouted pushing him but my paw hurts to much to push any harder. Humphrey leaned forward and before he connected lips with mine a red-ish pup tackled him and growled in his face viciously.
Humphrey cowered down and whimpered in fear. This pup was pure muscle and looked like he was almost out his puppy years soon.
"I'll give you five seconds to get out of here before I rip you apart limb from limb" The red-ish pup growled. Humphrey and his friends didn't hesitate and ran a 40 yard dash out of sight.
"Thank you so much...that guy is such a jerk" I said as he helped me up.
"No problem are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm fine just a sprained paw nothing serious" I said smiling gazing in his green eyes.
"Want me to help you to the pack healer's den?" He asked.
"That'll be great" I said smiling and he quickly went under me picking me up. I blushed he did it to fast and rather gentle.
He started walking with me on his back and it looked like my weight didn't faze him at all.
"So what's your name?" He asked.
"Kate" I said smiling.
"You're the pack's leader daughter right?" He asked.
"Yep" I said.
"Cool I never thought I would ever talk to you, but look at me now" He said chuckling.
"Why you thought that?" I asked.
"I over heard many guys talking about how strict your mom is and what she's done to other guys that tried to talk to you in the past" He said.
"Don't believe any of it because it's not true...my mom wants guys to think that so they won't talk to me, it's so annoying and helpful at times when I think about it" I said.
"That's kind of a smart way to keep boys away I guess" He said chuckling and I giggled.
"I never caught your name" I said.
"Because I never threw it" He said chuckling and it took me a couple seconds to realize what he said.
"Ohh I see what you did there" I said giggling.
"My name is Garth...I'm a lone wolf from Toronto" He said.
"Really?...your kind of young to be a lone wolf" I said.
"I'm only nine months...I'm not that young to survive" He said.
"But why are you alone?...didn't you have a pack and a family?" I asked and he suddenly looked sad.
"I really don't want to talk about it" He said.
"Okay it's fine you don't have to...how many days you been here?" I asked.
"Just a few hours...you think you can convince your mom giving me a place to stay for temporary?" He asked looking back at me.
"Sure it's the least I can do for you helping me" I said smiling.
The rest of the walk there was silent and I started to wonder how he knows where the pack healer's den is if he's a lone wolf. I was going to ask him but I was so deep in thought, I didn't realize we arrived. Sally was talking to that same wolf with the broken forearm back when Zach and I was here.
"Thanks Sally my forearm feels a lot better I see you around" He said exiting the den.
"It was nothing you're welcome" Sally said. Garth walked near the back and laid me down so Sally can get to work.
"Thanks" I said licking Garth's cheek and he frozed for a second then smiled.
"Your welcome" Garth said with a smile then walked out the den afterwards.
"Kate what happened?" Sally asked.
"I think I sprained my paw" I said holding it out. She started twirling it around slowly and bending it I guess trying to see how bad it hurts. I tried as hard as I can to hold in the pain but my body said something different.
"Oww stop it hurts so bad" I said in agony.
"I'm sorry Kate, did you feel like anything is out of place?" Sally asked.
"No" I said.
"Well your paw is just sprained and swelling, by 2 weeks you'll be up and running as usual...but if this new berry mixture I made works correctly you'll be okay in just few hours" Sally said smiling grabbing a human bowl bringing it over to me; then putting this sticky berry mixture on my paw.
"What does it do?" I asked.
"It'll keep your paw cold so the swelling can go down, don't freak out if your paw goes numb that means it's working" Sally said and I only nodded and laid my head down on my good paw.
"I'll have to let your mom know you're hurt and need special attention for now...want breakfast?" Sally asked
"No thanks I'm okay" I said.
"Okay be right back, if you're in trouble just howl" Sally said before walking out the den. " I wish Zach was here none of this would have happened...I miss him already...I wonder what he's doing right now" I thought.
Zach P.O.V
We finished packing all the basic stuff which took over and hour; and I was finishing up tying the chains around my dirt bike so it wouldn't fall off the back of the rv.
"Alright it's ready to go" I said.
"Good ready to go shoot some stuff?" Dad asked.
"Actually not just yet I have to help a friend with some things" I said checking the time on my phone. '9:56 A.M.'
"Okay call me when you're ready" Dad said walking to the car and I went in the rv closing the door behind.
My hands was pretty dirty so I washed them in the kitchen sink with dish soap since that was the only thing there. After I dried my hands I walked in my room and sat on my bed to call Alex. When the phone was ringing I turned on the tv and watched NFL replay on demand since I missed the Bengals Vs Chiefs game. I knew the Bengals won but I still wanted to see how.
"Hello?" Alex answered.
"Hey it's Zach you ready to start?" I asked.
"Oh yeah give me a second" Alex said.
"Ok" I said putting my phone on speaker so I can lie down and lay my phone on my chest.
2 minutes later she came back and we got started. I told her about the basics of wolves habitats and how they survive, and the facts about them. Like speed, jaw power, alpha school, and about how males fight for mating rights or leader rights. For the record none of them would ever beat Eve. After 30 to 40 minutes of non-stop talking, teaching, answering her questions, and repeating myself since she types so slow. We were finally done and can do our own independent things, but she had other plans.
"Zach thank you so much I owe you one for this...when did you start studying wolves?" Alex asked.
"All my life" I said in a sleepy voice and yawning afterwards.
"I guess all that talking wore you out huh?" Alex asked giggling.
"Yeah, you made me realized how boring it is to be a teacher...no offense if you want to be one" I said checking the time.
"Nah you're cool none taken...sooo Zach are you seeing anyone?" Alex asked.
"What do you mean?" I said yawning again.
"Like do you have a girlfriend?...because I would love to be yours" Alex said. I rolled my eyes and said.
"Yes I am seeing someone actually" I said less entertained with this conversation now.
"Great maybe we shou-...wait what?" Alex asked again.
"I said yeah I'm seeing someone" I said.
"Who? Is it Mitchell?" Alex asked sounding a little angry.
"No" I said.
"Then who is it?" Alex asked.
"Don't worry about that just know I'm taken" I said.
"Come on Zachary she can't treat you better than I can and you know that" Alex said.
"Define love" I said bluntly.
"What, why?" Alex asked.
"It's just a wonder, can you define love real quick please?" I asked curious what she would say.
"Ummm...when a couple really...care about each other I guess?...but anyway what does that have to do with us?" Alex asked.
"You just proved my point...people don't just date because of sex Alex, they date because they like or love each other...I'm not trying to be on your bad side or be rude but your nothing but a hoe...I don't date girls who's been smashed by 80 different guys in a year and I'm surprised you're not 7 month's pregnant right now...I learned that hoes want attention but women want love and respect...and you're nothing but a hoe in my eyes when it comes to relationships...Alex you need to change your ways or you'll make the biggest mistake of your life sometime soon" I said then hung up before she said anything back.
I put my phone in my pocket and turned off the tv then leaving my room half asleep. "Shooting is going to maybe wake me up" I thought. I walked out the rv door and down the steps to see dad in the trunk of the car getting something.
"I'm ready dad let's go" I said touching his shoulder.
"Okay let me get some things out first" Dad said not turning around.
I walked to one of the campfire logs and sat down on it to play madden mobile. Before I took my phone out, I heard a feminine voice call my name.
"Zach?"
When I turned to see who it was, I couldn't believe she came back.
"Ruby?..." I asked taking a better look to make sure it's her.
"Yeah its me...how's life?" Ruby asked walking to me and sat down.
"Same as usual...boring" I said tapping the madden mobile app.
"You're always bored" Ruby said giggling.
"Well not so much since you guys came around...but off topic...I saw you with a guy last night, how it go?" I said smiling but not taking my eyes off my phone.
"Not so good or what I expected at least" Ruby said.
"Damn what happened?" I asked.
"His howl was absolutely horrible, he killed a few birds that were flying by" Ruby said laughing and I did too.
"Wow it was that bad?" I asked chuckling.
"Oh we're only getting started" Ruby giggled.
"But all serious though...would you really listen to a rock to tell you if you're perfect for someone?" I asked.
"To be honest...I never thought about that...I don't know" Ruby asked.
"If you really love someone I don't think I stupid rock should tell you if you're perfect for someone...it just doesn't look or would feel right...I'm just saying" I said.
"Hmmm...Maybe you're rig-"
"PICK CITY YES! TAKE IT TO THE CRIB BABY!" I shouted and Ruby laughed at my random excitement and dancing. When we BOTH calmed down I said.
"Sorry about that, I was mad rude...what were you saying?" I asked looking in her eyes that I haven't seen in awhile.
"Nothing Important...are you leaving today?" Ruby asked.
"Yep back on the highway in a couple of hours" I said.
"Oh, I hope you guys have a safe trip back home and...come visit me sometime okay?" Ruby said bumping my elbow so I can look at her and not at my phone.
"Okay sure thing...if you see Kate can you te-...Nevermind I'll tell her myself" I said smiling and she smiled back before disappearing in the woods. Dad was walking towards me with a big sniper rifle in his hand, and a large smirk.
"Okay I'm ready, who were you talking to and celebrating for?...you're not going crazy are you?" Dad asked with a chuckled. Before I can answer my phone rung and Alex name popped up across my screen. I know she's probably mad I called her a hoe so I really don't feel like hearing her yelling voice. So I pressed ignore and let it go to my voice mail.
"I was talking to Ruby and I caught an interception on madden mobile" I said standing up stretching.
"She came back?...why?" Dad asked.
"To see wassup I guess...nothing important really" I said.
"Oh okay, well let's get going there's this small mountain I had visited yesterday..it's perfect for sniping...here" Dad said handing me what looked like a 50 cal, but I'm not sure.
"It's heavier than I thought" I said putting the strap around my back as he lead the way.
"You'll get used to it" Dad said.
We walked past the rv trailer parking and a few kids were outside enjoying their last day of spring break while they can. Tomorrow they'll be forced to be locked up in school jail for eight to nine hours straight, or ten if they have tutorials. Sometimes I feel like I be at school longer than I be at home, because I barely have anytime for myself. Soon as I get home I have to study, do homework, take a shower, then sleep. The only time I can chill and relax is Friday night Saturday and Sunday. On second thought I think it would be cool If we only had school Monday through Thursday. There was dogs barking and playing with their owners and some reason it remained how much I wanted a dog since I was 5. Luckily it's now sort of coming true, but the only problem is my wish is even better than having a pet dog. Because it's my favourite animal in the world. A Canadian wolf. All this thinking of dogs and wolves made me wonder what Kate is doing right now.
Kate P.O.V
Sally came back with mom and I explained to her word from word what Humphrey said and done. In a blink of an eye she took off towards him to taste his blood. Poor Humphery just wanted to impress me and share his love, but he went a little overboard by trying to kiss me which obviously would've turned into something else. He deserves any type of punishment mom gives him, and I know it wouldn't be good.
Sally left to eat breakfast less than a minute ago and offered me some. Of course I said no because I'm not really in the mood for raw caribou at the moment. I was starting to doze off but the sound of paw steps walking towards the den alerted me. I calmed down when I realized it was only my friends checking up on me.
"Kate what happened?...was it the tree?" Lilly asked.
"No Humphrey and his gang almost hit me with a log" I said.
"Almost?...but you're hurt right?" Candy asked.
"Yeah I dived out the way and landed very awkwardly on my paw" I said showing it to them.
"Ouch...that had to hurt" Lilly said wincing from just looking at it.
"It didn't hurt much at first until Sally put this weird stuff on it" I said sniffing it and it actually smelled good.
"How long will you be off of it?" Sweets asked.
"2 weeks at the most" I said.
"So this means we're all faster than you now" Candy said poking out her tongue and we all shared a quick laugh.
"Yeah for now" I mocked back.
"Well Kate is not going anywhere...so let's bring the party to her" Sweets said.
"Yay I love parties" I said wagging my tail.
"And this one is going to be the best party of your life because we're playing...truth or dare" Sweets said with a evil smirk. Lilly and Candy sighed because they know Sweets would ask embarrassing questions or stupid dares...As always...
"But we have nothing to spin" I said hoping we'll play something different; but Sweets looked around for something we can use.
She walked over to a broken stick in the back of the den, and dipped one of the ends in the mixture Sally was using. Sweets walked back to us with the stick in her mouth and laid it on the ground.
"Okay who wants to spin first?" Sweets asked. Nobody said anything and it was a 12 seconds silence as we all looked at each other.
"5 seconds or I'll choose" Sweets said.
"I'll spin first I guess" Lilly said walking to the stick spinning it. It spun for quite a while before it landed on me. "Oh my god why me first?" I thought.
"Truth or dare Kate?" Lilly asked.
"Truth" I said.
"Is it true you cheated on Zach with Humphery?" Lilly asked and I was shocked she even knew about that.
"How do you know about that?" I asked curious.
"I overheard him bragging about it to his friends" Lilly said.
"I hate him so much" I said furious he told people after he promised he wouldn't.
"So is it true?" Sweets asked.
"Yes, I was in heat and I couldn't find Zach anywhere and the itching was so unbearable...Humphrey was the only male in sight sooo yeah I did...I thought I can trust him as a friend to help me out but...he used me" I said disappointed in myself.
"Well Kate I'm so sorry to hear that, but it's your turn to spin now" Sweets said sounding like she really doesn't care. I did as I was told and it landed on Candy.
"Truth or-"
"Dare...no no truth" Candy interrupted.
"Is it true you have a crush on Salty?" I said and her cheeks blushed bright red.
"N-No" Candy said shyly.
"Come on we all know you do...we see how you look at him" Sweets said giggling.
"That doesn't mean I have a crush on him...I mean yeah he's kinda cute but I don't see us being together" Candy said defending herself with red cheeks.
"Candy just go talk to him you'll be surprised...by the looks of it I think he likes you too" Lilly said winking.
"But what do I say?...I don't want it to be awkward" Candy said.
"Just something basic like how are you today and stuff...let him do the talking it'll be less awkward and pressure on you" I said smiling.
"Okay got it" Candy said smirking slightly
"Your turn to spin" Sweets said. Candy spinned the stick and it landed on Sweets.
"Truth or dare" Candy asked.
"Dare" Sweets said.
"I dare you to..."Candy said looking around and picking up an centipede.
"Eat this bug" Candy said holding it in her face.
"Eww no way" Sweets said as she pushed it away.
"A dare is a dare you suggested we play this" I said with a smirk.
"But what if I don't?" Sweets asked.
"We'll tickle you for 30 minutes straight and if you move we'll start over" Candy said and Sweets sighed.
"Give it to me" Sweets said holding out her paw.
"That's more like it" Candy said smiling putting it in her paw. It tried so hard to get away but it was useless and weird looking because all of its legs.
Sweets held it above her muzzle inching it closer and closer to her mouth. So many times she would get so close then pull away. We waited for about 4 minutes and she still haven't eaten it yet.
"What are you waiting for? Just eat it already!" Lilly shouted impatient.
"It's hard, sticky, and gross okay!...just give me another minute!" Sweets snapped back.
"5 seconds or your time is up" Candy said and Sweets glared at her angrily.
"5" Candy said counting.
"4"
"3"
Before she said two it accidentally slipped in her mouth and she slowly started to chew. We all literally almost must threw up except Sweets because she looked like she was actually enjoying it.
"Are you actually enjoying that?" I asked trying to keep my puke in my mouth.
"Its really not that bad" Sweets said still chewing.
"I think I'm about to puke" Lilly said covering her mouth.
"I thought you were going to spit it out, but you actually ate it that's so gross" Candy said laughing.
"Hey a dares a dare like Kate said" Sweets said while spinning the stick and it landed on Lilly again.
"Not me again" Lilly said sighing and shaking her head.
"Truth or dare?" Sweets asked.
"Dare" Lilly said.
"Okay I dare you to show us your womanhood" Sweets said and my jaw dropped. Lilly pure white cheeks were now filled with red as Candy eyes almost popped out of her head from total shock.
"Theres-"
"Nah ah ah...a dare is a dare remember?" Sweets asked smirking.
"But this is a little to extreme and embarrassing" Lilly said clearly blushing.
"Either do it or suffer the consequences your choice" Sweets said. Lilly took a minute to think and turned around with burning cheeks "oh my god she's actually doing it!" My mind screamed.
Lilly hid her face and slowly lifted her tail and I can see a little of her clit. Before she exposed herself fully, Sally was a lifesaver because she came back to check up on me.
"Kate how are you fee-...oh hey girls what brings you by?" Sally asked.
"Nothing, just hanging out with Kate since she can't travel with us" Sweets said with an innocent smile.
"I don't mean to be rude but you guys can't be in here unless you're hurt or family sorry girls" Sally said.
"Umm okay, I guess we'll see you later Kate" Sweets said getting up and walking to the entrance.
"Yeah bye Kate hope you get better" Candy said following her close behind.
"Bye you guys" I said waving with my good paw. Lilly was walking out the den slowly with her tail tucked between her legs and blushing cheeks.
"Lilly hurry up!" Sweets yelled outside the den and Lilly walked out faster.
"Okay Kate how is your paw feeling?" Sally asked.
"Just really numb" I said. Sally picked up my paw and bend it back a little bit.
"Does that hurt?" Sally asked.
"Not at all" I said and she bended it a different direction.
"How about now?" Sally asked.
"Nope" I said. Sally put my paw down and said.
"It looks like you're going to be fine and walking in a couple of hours thanks to this new berry mixture I made...now all I need to do is rinse it off be right back" Sally said leaving the den.
I sighed that I'm now alone again and soon would be bored again. I took a second to admire Sally's den and there's a lot of mixtures and potion like things that look poisonous. Somewhere in my exploring mind told me to see what they would do if I mixed them together. Before I made up my mind to do it mom came back with blood on her forearms.
"Mom what did you do to him, did you kill him?!" I shouted shocked. I mean yeah what he did to me was wrong, but he didn't deserve to die.
"I wish I could have but that bastard dog got away" Mom growled angrily.
"Then why is there blood on your forearms?" I asked.
"I don't know I might have ran in a raspberry bush when I was chasing him" Mom said.
"Don't kill him mom just...beat him up real good" I said.
"Trust me I will, when I see him I'm going to rip off-"
"Save it for when you see him" I said interrupting.
"Anyway how are you feeling?" Mom said walking over to me then laying down.
"I'm feeling great, Sally said I'll be walking in a few hours thanks to some new berry mixture she made" I said.
"Where'd she go?" Mom asked.
"She's coming back with water to wash this stuff off" I said.
"Once she come back we can start our daughter and mother time if you like" Mom asked smiling.
"I would love to but can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"Sure what's on your mind dear?" Mom asked smiling.
"What was that meeting about earlier?...are we...going to war?" I asked and her smile went away immediately.
"I was afraid you was going to ask but yes" Mom said.
"But why?" I asked.
"Kate we're running out of food...all the caribou Zach killed mysteriously disappeared last night and the caribou herd is moving up north...we asked the north if we can combine packs but they said we all would have to serve them as slaves...the only way we can get fed is if we take their territory" Mom said.
"But mom we should just keep looking other places I know there's caribou out there somewhere" I said.
"We've looked everywhere...I sent a group of alphas miles and miles and miles away from here but they all confirmed negative" Mom said. I couldn't hold it anymore and I bursted into tears, crying on her shoulder heavily.
"Mom please don't fight I don't want to lose you" I said squeezing her tightly because this might be my last time hugging her.
"Sweetheart I'm not going anywhere okay?...I made a promise to your father I'm going to take good care of you and I'm keeping it...But this time I have help" Mom said in a mother like tone licking my tears away.
"Help from who?" I asked.
"The human that risked his life for you numerous times" Mom said smiling.
"Zach?" I asked.
"Mhmm" Mom said nodding.
"If I'm not here to take of you and make you happy I know he will" Mom said.
"I know that, but I still don't want to lose you mom you're all I have left" I said as tears escaped my eyes, but mom wiped them away.
"Let's not think about this right now we can talk about this some other time" Mom said and I laid my head down on her paws thinking about Zach again. Wondering if he's thinking about me right now.
Zach P.O.V
*BANG*
"Good shot son now get the last one" Dad said pointing to the target in the tree.
I lined up the crosshairs on the empty Dr. Pepper can in the tree and slowly pulled the trigger.
*Bang*
The bullet was way off and it hit a near pinecone that was in the tree.
"Stay calm and hold your breath...when you shoot slowly breath out your nose" Dad said and I nodded pulling the pin back to reload.
I lined it up again with the crosshairs and I was completely calm and confident. I held my breath and I slowly pulled the trigger.
*Bang*
This time I hit the can and it fell out the tree making a small thump on the ground.
"Good shot...you think you're ready for animals?" Dad asked.
"What kind of animal?" I asked.
"Caribou or deer" Dad said.
"Yeah I'll try...again" I said getting up from my prone position dusting the dirt off me.
"Well let's go further up the mountain we can maybe get a better view or a clean shot" Dad said throwing a walkie talkie to me then walking up the mountain.
"What's this for?" I asked.
"J.I.C" Dad said.
"Oh okay" I said following him but then I realized something
"If I do kill it, wouldn't we have to come back down to get it?" I asked.
"Yep that's the best part of hunting...help your shooting skills and cardo" Dad said and I sighed.
"Do we have to really?" I asked in almost a whine.
"You wanted to hunt right?" Dad asked.
"Yes" I said.
"Then stop complaining and come on" Dad said walking.
I looked up the mountain and sighed again.
"We got a long way to go" I mumbled.
"You bet" Dad said.
We've been walking up this steep mountain for about a good 20 minutes now and my back is killing me. Dad on the other hand look like he do this everyday and it's nothing. When I think about it, he was in the military 2 years ago so I can see how it's easy for him.
"Okay we're high enough...you see that right there...I think it's deer" Dad said pointing. I looked through my binoculars and said.
"Yeah it's deer" I said.
"I'm going a little bit further to the right and you stay here...I'll give you further instructions through the walkie talkie" Dad said.
"Yes sir" I said and he walked off to his position. I watched him walk off to the right of the mountain until he was out of sight.
I took my gun off my back and perfectly setted it up on a nearby rock. Then I made sure everything was ready to go and I waited for dad. After a couple minutes my walkie talkie spoke up.
*Alright get ready Zach*
*I am crosshairs on target*
*Good you shoot the ones to the far left and I got the right...kill only the males*
*Yes sir*
*On Fire*
*3*
*2*
*1*
*Fire*
Dad and I shot at the same time killing at least 4 each. I had to keep reloading but dad got an collateral so he easily took more out than me. After 12 seconds they were all gone and 16 deer lie on the ground lifeless covered in their own blood. This was so cool, it looked like something off of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon how we were communicating. (By The Way Can't Wait For Ghost Recon Wildlands To Be Released) I can't believe my very first hunt was successful...well this is my second hunt but this one was with a sniper from a far distance.
*Good job that's my boy let's go take a look*
*Yes sir I'm moving now*
*Zach, stop talking like that*
*Hahaha sorry I play too much video games and watch shooting movies*
I packed up my sniper and slipped it back on me then hooked the walkie talkie to my pants. The mountain was pretty steep and I was a long way up so it took a while to meet up with dad. I've should've wore better shoes because every 2 minutes I almost fell. Dad and I soon met up with each other and he gave me a high five.
"That was epic buddy" Dad said chuckling.
"I know right I thought I was going to miss at first...I love hunting now" I said chuckling and walking to the dead deers.
"Oh we only getting warmed up" Dad said chuckling then I heard a rustling noise.
"Shh wait dad...did you hear that?" I asked standing completely still.
"No I didn't hear anything" Dad said and it sounded again.
"There it is again you had to hear it that time" I said.
"Yeah I think it's best if we get out of here something or someone is watching us...I don't like it" Dad said backing away slowly. Before I can follow I heard a small growl.
"Dad it's okay I think its a pup" I said.
"A pup?...did you hear that growl?" Dad asked. I grabbed dad's knife off of his staff he had and said.
"Yeah it's a stomach growl...I think he or she is hungry" I said stabbing the deer and gutting it.
"Here buddy are you hungry?...I'm not going to hurt you please come out...I want to help" I said outloud and the rustling noise sounded again.
"You sure you won't hurt me?"
"I promise" I said and the pup relieved itself out the bushes devouring the deer meat.
This pup was all tan-ish brown looked like a coyote.
"Why are you in the middle of the woods by yourself?" I asked.
"I was here with my mom but...I don't know where she went" He said with food in his mouth and right on cue, his mom hopped out the bushes growling at us.
"Stay away from him!" She said snapping at me. Dad ran up to me and pointed his pistol at her pushing me behind him
"Stay behind me Zach this might get ugly" Dad said.
"Mom no it's okay that guy gave me food" He said.
"And you ate it!?...it could be poisonous" She said scolding him.
"No we hunted them just a few minutes ago, they're fresh...I'm only trying to help" I said moving dad out the way.
"We don't need your help" She said growling at me.
"You sure?...I mean it looked like you guys haven't eaten in weeks" I said getting lower to her level and she growled at me.
"Stay back I mean it!" She yelled serious.
"Okay fine suit yourself...come on dad let's go I have to check up on Kate" I said standing up and walking away.
"How do you know Kate?" She asked.
"We're reallly good friends why?" I said half lying not wanting to tell her we date for now, because it might creep her out.
"Because her father been looking for her and Eve" She said.
"But how?...he was shot in the head?" I asked shocked.
"He's one lucky wolf" She said smiling.
