Friday morning was a bit rough for Humphrey. He was struggling to go to sleep and getting up from his bed at the same time. During that night, he wanted to know why Kate was crying. It looks like she's been through something terrible. "Am I missing anything' he asked himself in his mind. Surely, Humphrey haven't seen here for twelve years until now.
Deep down inside of him, he felt a sharp mental pain piercing his lungs as it was trying to kill his heart. Humphrey had no idea what's this feeling is. He took a deep sigh and look at the clock. He got up from his bed and get ready for school by doing his morning routine. After that, he went out of the dorm building with a pancake in his mouth and a binder over his shoulder while he was walking to his first class. He also notice Kate haven't gotten out of her dorm building.
He always see her get to class early before him. He shrugged his shoulders and continue walking to his class. The first thing he notice once arriving to his class is that he never saw Kate in his class.
This actually made Humphrey worried a little bit. He always know Kate never missing on class, but he think this is the first time she had been gone at school.
The class began to start and the teacher start talking about instructions and giving out work like every teacher does. Humphrey start getting bored of this. The teachers are talking and no one is not talking to him since it's silent work time.
He look at the clock and still have time left. He let out a deep sigh and went back finishing his work. "Have you heard Kate had been crying in her room? I think that's why she didn't want to come to school" someone whispered right behind Humphrey's back. It made his ear twitch. He look back and saw Sophia and Brittney talking.
It made him thinking and then about last night. 'Why she was crying?' he asked himself. The teacher's classroom phone was ringing and he went over to his desk to answer the phone call before putting it down.
"Humphrey, you're going to the office" he said and Humphrey nodded his head. He stood up from his seat and began walking out of the classroom. Everything went dark around him. Walking closer to the office gives chills on Humphrey's spine like he was staring at the true hatred eyes of a demon.
The silence grew around him. It happen to Kate as well. The darker it gets, the quiet the sound really are. Leaves pass by Humphrey's face, branches start cracking around him, and a dead bush just rolling across his path. Humphrey didn't like where he was going as he arrive at the main office door. He slowly open it as he peek through the opening and saw just one person at the desk.
He slowly took a step forward into the building while shutting the door behind him. It brought her attention as she look up. "Mr Foster" she asked.
"That's me" he replied to her. "The principal is waiting in his office. It's on the left on this hallway and around the corner to your right" she explained and Humphrey nodded his head as a response.
He went to the left hallway, following her directions to the principal's office as he turn to the right. Right in front of him was a small hallway and the principal office is at the end of it. He gulped and began walking to his destination.
Many thoughts was like zooming all around in his head like going to a theme park and riding a roller coaster. Humphrey began to knock the door and waited. "Come in" said an old familiar voice.
Humphrey recognized that voice. 'Could it be' he thought.
He turn the door knob and it reveal two familiar wolves side by side to each other. One wolf was dark grey and had blue eyes, and the other one was a light tan wolf with yellow eyes. Humphrey knew who they are. It's Kate's parents.
"It's good to see you Humphrey" Winston greeted him with a smile. Humphrey lost his words.
He began gathering his thoughts until he realized that Winston's job is being the principal and Eve's job is being a school nurse. "Do you recognized me Humphrey" Winston asked curiously. "Yeah, b-but how did you know I was here" he asked with all of his fear of Kate finding out about him.
"We saw your name on the freshmen's list that are going to come here. The real question that I've been asking for a long time is that...do you know what happen to Kate after you left" he asked and Humphrey froze by his sentence. "Wait, what happen to Kate" he asked looking at him in the eyes. Winston sighed and began clearing his throat, getting ready to tell a story about Kate's life.
"After you've been gone for a while, Kate was not herself for twelve years. She had been staying in her room while crying her eyes out. Me and Eve tried so hard to get her out of her room, but she wouldn't. Every night, she kept mumbling your name in her sleep, so I'm guess it has something to do with you" he explained and Humphrey just stood there like he was in a court.
'Did she miss me' he asked in his mind curiously. "Humphrey? Do you know what happen to her" Winston asked, and it looks like Humphrey had no choice, but to tell them what happen last night before he left.
"Kate said something about me at that night when I'm visiting her. I was cornered by bullies and it looks like she joined with them. She act like them. The attitude, the actions, and the name that they gave me. I thought Kate was a really nice girl, but until that night, I decide that I need to leave. So, I did. I went up in the mountains to live with my Grandpa" Humphrey explained about his perspective and his experience of that awful memory he needed to get rid of.
Eve just widen her eyes as she listened his story. Winston knew something is going on around here. "Kate wouldn't do that" he said and Humphrey nodded his head.
"I know. I feel like someone made Kate do this to me" Humphrey added.
Winston thought about that for a second and look back at his wife. "That could be true" he said and Eve growled at this. "I'm going to find out who did this to my daughter, and when I do. I shall gave them an injector with chemicals that is powerful enough to paralyze them or making their fears change" she explained with her overprotected mother's sentence. Humphrey and Winston widen their eyes.
Humphrey always heard that she just wanted to shove someone's eyes into their throat, so they can see her tearing their body apart, and now this. This is different than the one he knew. Humphrey felt something that he never felt before for a long time. Guilt. He felt bad for leaving Kate behind.
"Where's Kate" Humphrey asked. "She's in her dorm" Winston replied and Humphrey asked another question. "Can I go check on her and see how she is doing?"
Winston and Eve nodded their head, and Humphrey left the room. "It was nice seeing you again Humphrey" said Winston behind him, and Humphrey smiled.
He left the building and headed towards the girl's dorm building. Humphrey check the time on his phone, and first period was close to end. He began running and made it to Kate's dorm room.
Humphrey let out a deep sigh before knocking her door. "Who is it" someone said on the other side. Humphrey easily knew it was Kate's voice. It sounded depressing, no, heartbreaking?.
There is no words describing what Kate is feeling, but there is one sentence that describe the feeling. What's Powerful than Heartbreaking? "It's me Humphrey" Humphrey replied.
He heard cracking of the bed like someone is getting up and heard a click.
Kate slowly opening her door with red eyes and wet cheeks as she look at Humphrey. "Oh it's you" she said sadly. "Can I come in" Humphrey asked worriedly, and Kate nodded her head without saying any word. Humphrey took a step forward as he watch Kate on the corner of his eyes. Humphrey felt really bad for leaving her. 'Winston is right. Kate is not herself anymore. She's more like loyal person who stays someone's side all the time' Humphrey thought.
Kate close the door and look at Humphrey as he look back at her. "Kate, what's wrong" he asked coming closer to her. "It's...It's nothing" she replied lowering her head down. Tears dropped onto the ground as more of them began following its step. Humphrey had no other choice, but to hug her like he did to her in the past.
Kate was surprised by this, but mostly happy at the same time. She knew this familiar kind of hug. Slowly but surely, she wrap her arms around Humphrey, and snuggle her head into his chest. Humphrey's eyes glow with darkness and hatred, staring at the door while hugging Kate protectively.
'I'm going to find out who it is, and when I do. I'll make sure to erase their family history' he said in his mind.
I wonder who could it be?! WHO THE FUCK WAS IT HUH?! Tell me people, who did this! Humphrey's going super saiyan on someone's ass if the mystery person is solved. I feel like the day is going slow then I expected cause I thought it was March lol. Don't blame on me, I blame on Human society for MAKING GLOBAL WARMING. WHAT THE FUCK! Predictions of the mass extinction=Damages from the Human Race. Anyways, what did you guys think? What will happen next?
