Sorry for the delay, I was kind of caught up in a bunch of work and school

-Kate POV-

I wake up the next morning to find Cody curled around me, with his paw draped over me. I look back at him, role my eyes, and get up, waking him.

"Did I wake up the baby?" I tease.

"You are pushing your luck," he warns.

"I know you wouldn't hurt me." I say

"I wouldn't be so sure Kate, I may just knock you down and take advantage of you."

"And I may claw your throat out if you even think about it." I say

"No need to bite my head off, I was just kidding." he says

"Lets get going" I say.

We start walking in the direction of the train tracks. As we walk, I start thinking about Humphrey. I again start to feel sad, Cody notices and says,

"You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, I was just thinking about Humphrey."

"I didn't know he meant so much to you." he says

"Well, he does." I say with determination, and start to walk a little faster towards the tracks. We finally get there, and start to follow his scent.

-Humphrey POV-

I wake up to the sound of the big wolf I have come to know as Sir, stirring and I start to get up, when he says,

"Stay here and watch out for her while I go and hunt us some food."

"I will, Sir." I say and take up a guard position next to the injured wolf.

A little while later, while Sir is still out, the injured wolf starts to come to. She opens her eyes, then squeezes them shut again in pain and groans rather loudly. She looks up and sees me standing there, and I could tell she was scared by the fear in her voice and the nervousness in her eyes.

"Who are you?" she demands with a strained voice.

"I am Humphrey. I was a lone wolf that Sir found and he said I could travel with him." I say.

"Well, I guess if you were here to kill me, I would be dead by now, so I guess you aren't a threat right now, my name is Chloe." she says

"Nice to meet you Chloe." I say

Before she could say anything else, we hear a noise in the bushes. I start to growl at it and Sir steps out dragging a huge caribou. I just stand there amazed that he took that down on his own.

"Don't just stand there, help Me." he growls at me.

I rush to help him drag the big animal into the clearing we are staying in. He then notices that the injured wolf named Chloe is awake. He rushes to her side.

"Oh my god, I thought you were dead. What were you doing in the middle of that fight? I thought I told you to stay at the..." he turns to me and says "Can we have some privacy?"

"Yes Sir" I say and walk into the woods.

-Kate POV-

As we move along through the brush we find Humphrey's scent again, which means, he got off here. We continue to follow the smell, but then it hits a creek, and we can't find it again. We would continue searching but Cody says

"It's getting late, we have been traveling all day, and I know you are tired."

"No, I'm not tired." I say stumbling over my own paws, with my eyes drooping.

"Yes you are. We will stop here and rest for the night." he says.

"Ok" I reply sadly, wishing we didn't have to stop until we found Humphrey.

We bed down in a little cave near a clearing in the forest.

-Humphrey POV-

I heard talking nearby but just assumed it was Sir and Chloe talking, even though it sounded a lot like Kate, but that was impossible, she couldn't have followed me, I waded through the creek and came back out on this side not the other? It must just be Sir talking because there was a male voice also. Sir then comes out of the bushes and says,

"Let's go, we are moving again."

"Ok." I say

It's almost midnight by the time we stop and rest again. I had asked Sir how far we had traveled, and he said we had gone about 10 miles. I asked him where we were headed; he said he had a pack in the valley, a specially trained pack of guardians, and that I would become a guardian when we got back.
