Humphrey's POV-
"Abby, we thought you were dead!" I said as I hugged my sister.
Flashback-
"Mommy, can Abby and I go play tag?" I said my Mom,
"Sure, just stay out of the woods," She shouted from inside the den,
"C'mon Abby, let's go," I told her as I nudged her,
"Ok," She said as she tagged me,
"Oh, you are on!" I screamed at her right before I started to chase her,
I started to chase her around our pack until Abby looked into the woods,
I tagged her, but she didn't move,
"Is something wrong?" I asked her,
"You see that dead caribou," She said as she pointed to a caribou in the woods,
"Yeah?" I said confused,
"I'm gonna go get it to impress Mom," She said to me confidently,
"But…Mommy said not to go in the woods," I said,
"Shhh…she won't know," She said,
"Uhh…ok," I said,
"Great! Now keep watch for me please," She said to me,
"Ok," I replied, looking around,
I noticed how wolves were running away from our area,
'That's odd,' I thought,
"Ahhhh," I heard Abby scream which knocked me out of my dream state,
What I saw next terrified me for the rest of my life,
I saw Abby getting shot with a gun.
End Of Flashback-
'I guess it was just a tranquilizer dart,' I thought,
"Where have you been?!" I asked her,
"Florida," She replied,
"Florida?" I asked confused,
"Yeah, way south of here," She replied,
'Geez, I thought Idaho was far,' I thought,
"Where are our parents?" She asked me, looking around,
"There kinda…dead," I replied, sadly having to tell her the truth,
Then, she started to cry, so I went up to her and hugged her,
"Shhh…it's okay…it's okay," I said to her,
After about 3 minutes, I let go,
"Thanks," She said,
"No problem," I said back,
"So, what have you done while I was gone," She said,
'Oh boy,' I thought,
"Well, once you got captured, I told our parents and they freaked out. They sent a search party, but the search party couldn't find you. Then, I remember, our Dad later almost got trampled by caribou, but our Mom saved him, but then they both got shot by hunters," I told her,
"But what happened after that?" She asked me,
'Please don't,' I thought,
"Well they were about to tell me what pack to go to, but they died before they could tell me," I stated,
"And that was all that happened?" She asked me,
"Well…no," I said,
"So what else happened?" She asked me,
'Oh boy,' I thought,
"I ran to a pack named the Western pack, where I collided with heaven and hell," I said,
"Ok…more please," She said,
"I met this girl…" I began,
"Oooo…my little bro had his first crush!" She said,
'Ugh, so embarrassing,' I thought,
"But the problem was that she was an Alpha," I said,
"So?" She asked,
"I was an Omega," I said,
"What?! But you were meant to be pack leader…top of the line Alpha!" She said,
'True,' I thought,
"That was there, but here, I am a nobody," I began,
"And not only that, but she was the pack leaders daughter," I finished,
"It's okay, if I was her, I would've married you," She said,
'Sure you would have,' I thought,
"Thanks," I said, not wanting to be rude,
"So, why are you here?" She asked,
"I left, I couldn't take it," I said.
"It's okay bro," She said as she hugged me,
"Umm…can I have that caribou? I'm starving," I asked her,
'I'm more than starving,' I thought,
"Sure…I take it you forgot how to hunt," She said,
"Hey! It's been a while," I said while eating,
"I'll teach you sometime," She said,
"Really, that'll be nice," I said to her,
"No problem," She said,
'Score!' I thought,
"Let's start now," She also said,
'Or not,' I thought,
"But I'm not even done yet," I said to her,
"Tough luck," She replied,
"Ugh," Was all that I replied,
"Okay, first off, let's get you running," She said,
"But…I'm tired," I said back,
"I don't care. You see that pole over there?" She said while pointing to a pole about 1/8 of a mile away,
"Yeah," I replied back,
"Give me 20," She said,
'Really?' I thought,
"20! But I'm hungry," I stated,
"Well, the sooner you finish, the sooner you eat," She said, smirking,
'Ugh, so annoying,' I thought as I began to run,
After about 5 laps, I collapsed on the floor next to her,
"I can't do it," I said,
"Oh well…looks like you're not gonna eat," She said taunting me,
'Annoying!' I thought,
"Really, come on," I said to her,
"Fine, if you eat now, you must run 30 laps instead of 20," Abby said,
'C'mon girl!' I thought,
"What?! That's so unfair," I said to her,
"Life isn't fair," She said,
"Fine…I'll just eat now I guess," I told her,
"Ok, go find some," She told me,
"What?!" I screamed at her,
"Just kidding, just kidding," She said, laughing,
"Not…funny," I said seriously mad,
"You know you weren't the only jokester in the family," She said and then threw my caribou at me,
'Now you tell me that,' I thought,
"But Humphrey, I have a serious question," Abby told me,
"What?" I asked her,
"Do you still like Kate?" She asked me,
'Can you just shut up!' I thought, not saying it because it would be rude,
"Yes," I said without thinking about my answer,
'Wait…do I?' I thought,
"No," I said, thinking over it,
"Well…ugh! This girl is tearing me apart!" I said,
'Oops…did I say that out loud?' I thought,
"Ok…why do you love her?" She asked me,
"She's nice, beautiful, and we howled," I said honestly,
"…Ok, why do you not like Kate?" She asked me,
'Is that a question?' I thought,
"She treats me like dirt and would rather be with Barf," I said to her,
"Wait, if she is nice, then why did she treat you like dirt?" She asked me,
"She…she…she…I don't know," I said confused,
"…Ok, and why would she rather be with throw-up?" She asked me,
"Not actual throw-up, that's just the name of a jerk," I said,
"Oh…ok," She said,
'She's probably so confused,' I thought,
About 5 minutes of awkward silence past,
"So…did you have a crush?" I asked, wanting to break the silence,
She then started to blush,
'Yes she does!' I thought,
"No," She said,
I tilted my head a little,
"Ok…fine I do," She said,
"What is his name?" I asked her,
"What makes you think my crush is a guy?!" She asked annoyed,
"Oh…well, sorry," I said,
"It's fine, it is a guy," She said laughing,
"Ugh," Was all that I said,
"Don't worry, but I don't know his name," She said,
'How?!' I thought,
"What?!" I said,
"Well, when I was a lone wolf, I came up here to Canada, I found a pack, but I was too embarrassed to join because a met a cute guy that I didn't even know," She said,
"So you liked him because of his looks," I said,
"Yeah, he was pretty tall with gray fur and the best green eyes you've ever seen," She said,
'Unbelievable,' I thought,
"Well…now I am stuffed," I said after my last bite of caribou,
"Ok then, start running," She said,
"Ugh," I said, then I started to run,
'Stupid deal,' I thought.
