A Wolf's Worst Nightmare (2)
"What was the dream about, Humphrey?" Aaron asked, pulling out a notepad.
"Well, it started… wait! Do you even know how to write?"
"No. I'm jus going to scribble nonsense on the paper. Go on."
Aaron motioned toward Humphrey.
"Okay, so like I was saying; it started last night when I was sleeping."
~Flashback-Humphrey's dream~
I was going around Jasper trying to catch up with my friends when Marcel and Paddy came from behind me.
"Misère Humphrey!" Marcel exclaimed.
"Oh, hey guys. What's up?"
"It's Kate. She- she…"
"What happened to Kate?" I asked worriedly.
"Well, it's nothing too serious, but Kate has the flu."
"The flu?" I exclaimed. "How?"
"We don't know." Just then, I ran oof to her den with Marcel and Paddy behind me. When I get there, I see Winston and Eve with worried looks on their faces standing outside.
"Where Kate? Is she okay?"
"She's fine. It's just the flu. We're kind of relieved."
"But-but, you don't look relieved."
"Yeah. We're just worried about the 'doctor' we left her with."
Now I had a confused look on my face. What doctor? I ran into the den to see Kate lying on her side. Garth and Lilly watched from far while another wolf examined her.
"Well, at least he looks like he knows what he's doing."
Then as the wolf turned around I saw Aaron.
~End~
"Wait, wait, wait! I was there? How?" Aaron asked, almost shrieking.
"I don't know. This is how the dream went. But that's besides the point…"
~flashback~
"Humphrey, is it?" Aaron asked in a solemn tone. I nodded as the brown wolf continued. "I'm glad to say that what Kate has is curable…" I sighed in relief. "But, it will take time to make the medicine. I'm afraid that when it's done, Kate would already be… dead." Aaron said in a low, gravely voice. I had a look of horror and shock on my face.
"Is-is there anyway to make the medicine faster?" I exclaimed, on the verge of tears.
"The ingredients take certain temperatures and it takes a day or two to boil them together…"
"No!" I yelled, interrupting Aaron. "I…I can't lose her…" I said crying and folding my arms over my face.
~End of flashback~
"Whoa, that's deep." Aaron said with a sigh.
"Yeah. That's why I need your help to make the medicine that will help her if… ya know."
"Yeah, I can help, but…"
"But what?"
"I need the symptoms she had so I can find something for it."
"Symptoms? Oh, well, I don't remember that well what she had, but I think I can try."
"Okay, go for it."
As Humphrey was about to speak, Marcel and Paddy came from behind shouting.
"Humphrey, Humphrey!"
"Oh, hey! We're actually in the middle of something…"
"It's about Kate!" Marcel exclaimed.
"What?" Humphrey and Aaron said in unison.
"Yes." Marcel continued. "She has the flu…"
