A/N: Hey everyone, here's the next installment. I know it took forever. I've got bogged down with work, but I'm trying to get back into the groove of writing. I hope you enjoy it, and I'm sorry for taking forever. Sorry for dropping out of the radar. Enjoy!
Humphrey's POV: That impact was certainly not one of the best I've had. I hoped Lilly jumped off before we hit that huge ass boulder. It was stupid of me to not look at where I was sledding. I wasn't able to jump in time before we hit, so I suffered a big jolt sending my body into a spiral of pain, and before I knew it, I was flying. Today was the day I die.
Everything passed in a blur. I was moving too fast to pick up anything, the only thing that I could make out was a scream from Lilly, but what pained me was that I couldn't tell if she was in pain, or if she was screaming for me. Then everything went black.
I woke up to Lilly screaming my name and feeling paws supporting the back of my head. I tried to speak to answer her call but only felt a metal taste in my mouth, and then I was coughing everything out and was seeking air. Despite the ringing in my ears, I could still hear Lilly crying at what was going on, and I could feel her tears running down my fur. I tried moving the other parts of my body to check the damages. Everything seemed fine. I was bruised, but not broken. Something I could walk off just like all the other times I sledded with the guys and ended up face-first on the ground. I was finally able to get a gasp of air into my lungs, and things started to calm down. The only thing I couldn't understand was the bleeding from my mouth. And then I felt a searing pain on the right side of my snout.
I cringed in pain as I lifted my paw to feel my snout, and as it turned out, there was a cut on my cheek, and an ache from the inside. I must've knocked out a tooth, and with the inspection of my tongue around my mouth, there was a hole and more of the metal taste where one of the teeth next to my long canines used to be. It was ok though, at least it wasn't a tooth that was very important. It was a pain to open my mouth, but thankfully my once blurry vision cleared up. I looked up at Lily's tear-stricken eyes and used my paw to wipe away her tears. As much as I wanted to let her know I was ok, I couldn't speak.
Lilly's POV: "Humph…rey," I croaked out between sobs. I finally caught up to where Humphrey crash, and the site wasn't so appealing. He had cuts all over his body, and one huge purple bruise next to his cheek. I saw tiny blood drops around him, and I feared for the worse. I gently held is head and sobbed, fearing that I lost the one that loved me so much. I wept and screamed his name, hoping for him to wake up. I stayed there for five minutes repeating his name, and I started really to think I had lost him. But all my fears were crushed when he opened his eyes and wiped away my tears.
He started coughing out blood, and I was scared if he had any deep internal injuries. I sat there. Waiting for him to recover, hoping that the image on the outside didn't reflect his condition on the inside. As I lay there with him, the sun started to lower in the sky, and the evening was approaching soon. I really hope we're near Jasper. Humphrey might need serious help, and if he isn't given any, who knows what could happen next…
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. I hope to be updating a bit more often, so I hope you all are still alive. Let me know what you think, and if you can (shameless promo), check out my story Alone for those of you who have not. I'll see you guys for the next one.
