I own very few things.
Humphrey POV
I wake up in a strange part of the woods. I look around. next to me lays a large limb. Then I feel it. A crushing pain on my back. I scream for help. Now I hear something in the woods. It sounds like a wolf. Suddenly Troy comes running out of the woods. He sees me and says,
"I will go get help. I can't lift that log without hurting you. I will be right back."
I lay there a little longer, then I remember that today was graduation. I start to worry, will I graduate?
Kate POV
Troy comes running out of the woods looking for someone.
"Have you seen Duncan or Savannah anywhere?" he asks
"I saw Duncan and Savannah heading towards the leaders cave. Whats happening?"
"Its Humphrey." he says and takes off running. I follow close behind him.
I get to the leaders cave and Troy is standing there talking quietly but hurried to Duncan and Savannah.
"Come here Kate." he says,
"What happened?" I ask.
"A large log has fallen on Humphrey's back and we are worried if we try and move it we may paralyze him." Duncan says.
"So how are we going to free him?" I ask
"What we are planning to do is get me on one side of the log and Duncan on the other side and evenly lift it off of him and put it down somewhere else and Savannah will tend to his injuries." says Troy.
"So why are we standing around here, lets go." I say.
We all start running through the woods to Humphrey.
Humphrey POV
I hear footsteps, but my world is getting darker, then I hear voices. One sounds like Kate. Then she speaks to me, but I cant understand her. Then the weight suddenly lifts off of my back, and I can hear slightly better, but its still pretty bad. I know I am right on the edge of death. Then my vision and hearing get better, but I start to float away from my body, but I don't get very high, then a new shape materializes next to me as I call Kate's name.
"They cant hear you." He says.
"Why not?" I ask
"Your body has passed out and almost shut down. You are a spirit form. We are nothing but heat shimmers over your body to them."
"But why am I here and not still in my body?"
"Because there is more you need to know. For the next few days, your body will be in and out of life, hanging on the edge, but the moment your soul returns, you will come back. In the mean time, I will be training you."
"Why me? why not Troy?" I ask
"Because you have royal blood. You are special. If you die, bad things will start happening. Your family are the Gatekeepers. You are the gate to the mortal world for all the dead spirits. If you die, then they get released. I will be your guide to the spirit world."
"Whats your name?"
"Riche"
Kate POV
"He isn't dead. He can't be dead. That just cant be true!" I yell.
"He is very close to death. we will take him back to the Infirmary and will watch over him and call you when he gets better." Savannah says.
"Report to my cave in the morning Kate. Go to sleep now." Troy orders.
As I walk back to my cave, I try to think of a life without Humphrey, and I can't. I just get this feeling that he isn't dead.
Humphrey POV
"Seems like you have a spirit connection with that wolf." Riche says.
"I guess. She is my mate and best friend."
"Ah so a close tie. I suggest you stay close to her. she has a power over you that not even I understand. She is the reason you aren't dead and all the spirits are released." He says
"Well, into the spirit world I guess." I say. I walk into a large black hole but Riche stops outside it.
"Are you coming?" I ask
"Well, You have to give me permission to enter and exit the spirit realm." He says
"You can come in, but if thats the case, then how did you get out?"
"You and your family are all spiritually connected and somewhere, your dad lives on, and he felt that you were in grave danger, and sent me to help you. I am your father's closest advisor. I will tell you more later." he says
"OK I guess." I say as we walk into the depths of the spirit world.
REVIEW PLEASE. THIS STORY WON'T CONTINUE AND HUMPHREY WILL DIE UNLESS I GET A FEW REVIEWS.
