Chapter 6:
I looked at the wolf and started away from him. "I'm so sorry, i wasn't looking where i was going." I tell him.
"That's alright, hey, were you going." He tells me. He starts to walk towards me, "What pack are you from, i haven't had a wolf to talk to in forever." I stoped backing away and told him.
"Yoho Park."
"Yoho Park, i know that pack. They one one of the most strickest packs around, are you lost, do you need help back?" He asked.
"No, i ran away."
"Wa-, now why would you do something like that, now come on, I'll take you back."
"I don't want to go back!" I told him.
"That's fine child, but listen, your family is probably worried sick about you. And if you have siblings, you need to look after each other and if your gone... Look at me, i actully live out here and its already hard enough for a wolf like me to do it. Now go back, i know that pack, they'll send a whole crew after you if you don't return anyway so why not head on back." He explained. I though about it for a moment and he's right. How would I survive out here, I've not even been to Alpha Camp yet.
"I guess." I finally said.
"There ya go, now come on." He starts walking. "You see that mountain, right past it is the pack, now lets head that way." and off we were, back to where i never wanted to be again.
(30 minutes later)
Most of our trip has been silence, neither of us spoke until the other wolf spoke.
"So, why did you run away?" He asked.
"I got tired of the laws in the pack, and i was angry at certain wolfs." I told him. He laughs.
"Yeah, I used to live there, but i couldn't handle the laws and i disliked some of the wolfs too." He told me.
"Really? Hey, what your name?" I asked him, but when i said that his smile dropped, he jerked around and stated.
"My name has no importance to you, child."
"Ok, and stop calling me child." I tell him.
"What would you like me to call you?" he asked.
"You can, uh... Just call me Kid." I answered.
"Ok, kid."
"What do you want me to call you?" I asked him back.
"You can call me... just call me sir." He answers.
"Are we almost there?" I asked him.
"Yeah, not too far, to the mountain. After that, we got to climb it."
After a little more walking, we finally was on the small mountain. It was pure white from the snow, i have heard that bears live up on this mountain, lets hope we don't run into one of those.
"Hey kid, we need to be quiet up here, we don't want to start an avalanche." He told me.
"Yeah, other wise we would have to climb all the way back up again."
"I've been up here before, but you see that little bump on the top." He says, i look at the top.
"Yeah."
"Well, that's a bear cave. We want to stay clear of that too." He told me.
"Yeah, buts today is the start of winter, shouldn't he already be in hibernation?" I ask him.
"Its winter?" He asked.
"Yeah, that's why there snow up here." I tell him.
"Man, i have really lost track of time. Well, he should be hibernating, stay away from his cave, we don't want to deal with an angry, woke up bear."
We have been on this mountain for awhile, and i love this snow. I like to play in it, but every time i do, he fusses at me for it. Always like, Stop, we got to keep going, or, we need to get there before it gets dark out. I look up in the sky, and i see that we are closer than ever, only about five more minutes till we are there.
(Five minutes later)
"Hey kid, we're at the top." He tells me.
"Wow!" I say as i look off into the distance to see my small pack. There's a little ways to go down the mountain untill we come across a large bolder, then right behind the bolder is a little ledge, a fall from that hight would be death, but if you make it down, you would be at a river, at the bottom of the mountain. On the other side of that river, is my pack.
"Yeah, wow. Now, you see that river kid, that is considered the border into your pack, once you enter the river, your in your pack. However, i can't go no further, I will just stay here and watch you to make sure you get there safe, be careful kid."
"Why can't you come, and how am i supposed to make it over there?" I ask him.
"I can't go cause i can't risk to be recognised. And you see that cliff, if you hang from it, then swing to the under side of it, you can just slide down the snow into the river. Don't worry, you'll know when you get there." He tells me.
"But, what if i slip?" I ask him.
"If you don't feel comfortable with that, then go left. You can walk the rest of the way down."
"Ok, I'll do that one, how far of a walk is it?" I ask him.
"About 8 to 10..." He was cut off by a loud, but low grawl.
"What was that?" I whispered to him. He sniffs the air.
"It's that stupid bear." We both true around to see a huge bear standing in front of us.
"Isn't is supposed to be in hibernation right now?" He asks.
"Yeah, supposed to be." I tell him. The bear then let's out a large and loud roar. b
But when he did that, the ground starts to shake.
"Uh sir, what's happening."
"it's an avalanche! Go down!" He yells at me.
We run down the hill, him much faster than me, i looked back to see the snow gaining on me. The bear was swept off by it, i don't want to be next. I was almost at the cliff, i had to think of what to do, this snow would kill me if it knocks me off the ridge. I don't even see that other wolf anymore. As i was only steps away from the cliff with no plan but to just jump, i fell the skin on my neck being grabbed and pulled to the side.
I look over to see that wolf pull me behind the bolder. The bolder must of been too big for it to be knocked down, so the snow split onto both sides of it.
"Kid, just keep you head down." Was all he told me. The avalanche only lasted for about a minute, then it was over. He starts to laugh.
"What's so funny, i was almost killed!" I tell him.
"Look at that, you could just about jump down there now." He says.
"Are you going to jump down there with me?" I ask.
"Oh, no. I'm already to close as it is." He says.
"Why cant you go in the pack." I say, i walked up to the edge to get a better view.
"Kid, the only wolf in that pack who even likes me is my brother." He stood next to me. I laughed.
"Who's you brother?" I asked him.
"He's right..." He looks around for him, "There!" He points to some wolf lying on the ground. I squint to see if i can recognize him, until i knew who it was. I juerked around.
"My dad?!" I said shocked, i started backing away. He looks at me for a moment, then he goes wide eyed.
"Humphrey?"
No Ones POV
As humphrey took one last step back, he lost his footing, falling off the cliff.
"Ahhhhh!" Humphrey screamed. As he continued falling.
"Humphrey!!!" The wolf screamed as he jumped to the edged trying to catch him, but he failed.
Humphrey continued falling until he fell into the river like a bullet, hitting his head on a rock at the bottom. He floated up to the surface of the water, not moving, stiff as a rock.
End Of ACT I
Franks POV
"...He floated up to the surface of the water, not moving, stiff as a rock." He pauses, "And that's the end of chapter 1 kids. Come back next Wednesday to hear the next chapter." The teller said as he finnish his story.
"That's it, we came here to hear that Humphrey died?" I asked him.
"Yeah, he's dead, until next chapter on Wednesday."
I was home, and my mom walked in. "So, what story did you hear?" She asked.
"It was the legend of Humphrey." I told her.
"Oh, i never heard that one, what was it about?" She asked.
"He only told us one chapter, but apparently both of Humphreys parents died and he was raised by his uncle. He was born an alpha and was going to alpha camp on the first day of winter, only to run away 5 minute before he left because so many secrets was kept from him, like how his dad died from an exucution because he married an omega and he was an alpha. Humphrey met a mysterious wolf when he was in the woods and the wolf helped him return home. The reached the top of the mountain on there way back to Humphreys pack, but a bear snuck up on the and caused an avalanche and they were swept to the edge of a cliff. When the mysterious wolf said that Humphreys uncle was his brother, humphrey freaked out and fell off the cliff into the river, hitting his head on a rock, knocking himself unconscious." I summerized.
"Wow, so back then you couldn't marry an omega if you were an alpha. I want to here more of this story. Your going back next week." She told me.
"What?!"
