A Wolf's Worst Nightmare (3)

"What do you mean she has the flu?" Humphrey yelled.

"I'm sorry, but she just woke up with it." Humphrey just looked at him in disbelief. Was the dream he had coming true? He couldn't ask any more questions. He had to know what was going on. He ran off to Kate's den with Marcel, Paddy, and Aaron following. Humphrey saw this. just like in the dream. And also like in the dream, he saw Winston and Eve standing outside looking worried.

"Humphrey! Hi!" Eve said.

"Hi, um, Kate's in there, right?"

"Yes, she has…"

"The flu." Aaron interrupted.

"Yes. How did you know?"

"Well, lucky guess…"

"Okay, maybe you can come in and see her. She at least needs someone with medical experience to check her."

"Oh, well thank you."

"How was that a compliment?" Winston asked.

"I don't know. If you were immortal like me, you'd know."

"Could we please get to Kate?" Humphrey asked.

"Okay, don't get your fur in a knot." Just then they went in. they saw Kate lying on the floor with Garth and Lilly around her.

"Oh, God! Kate!" Humphrey yelled as he ran over to her, hugging her tightly.

"Humphrey? Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me Kate. Just calm down." Humphrey whispered. "How do you feel?" He asked trying to hide the fact that Kate was probably going to die.

"It hurts when I breathe…" Kate said in a hurt tone.

"It's gonna be okay. Just rest." Humphrey whispered.

"But…it hurts..."

"Shhhh...Just sleep. It's going to be okay..."

"Humphrey..."

"Shhhh...Don't worry...Shhhh..."

"Um… Humphrey? Could I have some time to check her?"

"Sure…" And with that, he left the den.
