Chapter 3:

Jakes POV:

It was two months after Robert went missing, humphrey was a wild one, i tell you that. He loves to explore, he tried to sneak off evrry now and then but we both know he cant get too far from the den. He will however, do anything to protect the ones he loves, especially his sister, Jewel. She is a shy one, her red fur died out and now she is a white wolf with a slightly darker underbelly. She stays by the rules, like my father, but she follows Humphrey around where ever he goes. She looks up to him, her being the omega, him the alpha, she dont hang much around me.

Around when they started speaking humphrey called me dad, i never corrected him because i was the closest thing to a dad he has. They said they never found Robert within the week, but two months later they found his body floating in the river. Humphrey and Jewel already know about thier mom, they were devistated, but quickly grew past that. Humphrey starts Alpha camp in two more months. The only friends humphrey has made is a male pup named Bolt and a female wolf who Jewel befriended, Shadow. Thats their group, they hang out by the tree behind Shadow's den.

I lost my train of thought when Humphrey jumped on me.

Humphrey's POV:

"Dad, dad, dad! Can we go out side and play, please???" I asked, dragging out the word 'please'.

"Humphrey, its too early..."

"Please?!" I asked one more time.

"Uh, fine, but dont go too far from the den, i need to be able to see you."

"Yes! Come on Jewel." I told her, she nodded and just came along.

"Humphrey! Lets check and see if our friends are up!" She said. Jewel always seemed like the hiper one.

"Ok, but the suns barly up, i dont think ther're awake." I tell her.

"But lets check just in case." She said, i just rolled my eyes and said fine. I looked back to see if my dad was looking, he don't like us going to Bolts den. Shadows is closer but Bolts takes awhile to get to. He wasn't looking, i started away but was stoped by Jewel.

"Humphrey what if he looks out here and see we are gone?" I thought about it for a moment, thats another thing about her, shes really smart.

"Just, uh, stay her and count with your eyes closed." I tell her.

"What will that do?"

"Just do it, and if dad asks, say your playing hide and seek. Also, if it don't work, you wont get in trouble." I tell her.

"Well, ok."

I started walking away, my dad thinks im not old enough to travle alone. I do it all the time, and i'm always fine.

I got to Bolt's den, he is an alpha. He is a black wolf with a white birthmark that looks like a lighting bolt. He was a cool pup, me and him became friends 3 weeks ago. Dad had to do something and he sent me to a pup sitter. I became friends with Bolt, Jewel became friends with Shadow.

"Pst, hey Bolt. You awake?" I ask him, he slowly walks out of the den.

"No." He said.

"Would you like to go meet up with me, Jewel, and possibly Shadow?"

"Sure, I'll come with you to Jewel."

"...And Shadow" I added.

"Yeah, right, right."

"Lets hurry, my dad don't know i'm here. Jewel is covering for me, but we both know that wont last." we both giggled.

"Ok, i ask my dad." He says as he goes in the den. His dad dont really care where Bolt goes, as long as an adult wolf he knows is with him. His mom thinks otherwise, but shes a soldier wolf, shes out exploring 5 days a week.

"He said I could go." Bolt says as he exits the den.

"Race you there!" I shouted as we both took off towards my den, i was the fastest of our little group, then it was my sistrr, bolt, and then Shadow. As i was running, i looked back to see Bolt trailing far behind, but when i turned back around, i ran into this older wolf, about a year or two. I knowcked him down, he laied there still, but with a groan.

"Oh, sir, im so sorry! Are you all right?" I ask him worried. He the gets up chuckling, turns to me and says:

"Watch were your going boy. If i was you, i wouldn't want to bump into me again." He says as he walks off. He looked like a alpha with red fur and a white underbelly. He has also had some freakishly large ears.

"Who was that?" Bolt asked me when he caught up.

"I don't know, he didn't say." I didn't scare easily, but something was off about that wolf.

I looked up and saw my den, and i could see dad talking to Jewel. "Quick, find a hiding spot!" I whisper to Bolt.

"Why?" He asked. I didn't answer, i just pushed him in a bush and i leeped in some tall grass. I could over hear my dad talking.

"Jewel, you do promise that Humphrey and you are playing hide-and-seek?"

"Well..." She started but i jumped out and said.

"No! Bolt is also here with us." I shouted to him.

"Where is he?"

"The bushes." I said.

"Humphrey, you gave away my hiding spot." Bolt said as he walked out of the bushes.

"Ok... Just be careful, i dont want to go to Jade today." He says as he goes inside. I turned to Jewel.

"Where is Shadow?" I asked.

"She wasn't in her den, i dont know where she is." She replied.

"Oh yeah, she was on vacation this week." I thought aloud.

I look at Jewel and said one simple word. "Tag!" I ran away, with her and Bolt right behind me.

How did you like this chapter? Leave what you think in the comments. (I have an idea for this story, how the Acts will play out. Act I, the childhood of Humphrey. Act II, young adulthood. Act III, Act IV, Act V, and Act VI are classified.)

On a side note, exactly one year ago, i wrote my first chapter to my first story, "Humphrey's Adventure!". Since then, i have started 8 storys and finished 4. I'd like to thank all for reading my chapters i have wrote. Have a great rest of your day and...

Peace!
