A Wolf's Worst Nightmare (4)
Humphrey sat outside with sadness. A part of him knew he was going to lose Kate, but another part knew that he wasn't going to let that happen. If she died, he died with her.
"Humphrey?" A voice popped up, breaking him out of his trance. It was Aaron with a solemn look on his face.
"How is she? Is Kate going to be okay?" Humphrey asked, frantically.
"It's not good. Unfortunately, it's like what you said in the dream, she can be cured by special medicine that takes awhile to make. And by the time it's done, she will be dead." Aaron said in a gravely voice. Now Humphrey was feeling total hurt and anguish. He went inside the den and lay right next to Kate.
"I wish there was something we can do…" Lilly said. " I don't want to lose my sister…"
"Well, there isn't apparently. We just have to wait and pray for her." Aaron said while packing up his supplies. And just then, Garth noticed something that he had picked up.
"What's that?" He said pointing to a small jar of red liquid.
"Oh, it's some of Kate's blood." He said.
"How did you get that?"
"I have my ways…" Aaron said, while looking at the jar. He then looked in confusion, then shock. "Oh my God!"
"What? What is it?"
"Her blood. It has these little white stuff in it. I've never seen it before." He then took out a magnifying glass and exclaimed. "Whoa! I think this is causing her flu! Wait a minute."
"What?" Asked Humphrey in a concerned tone. "Is there something we can do?"
"What did Kate last eat?"
"I think it was some caribou from the North. Why?" Eve asked.
"The caribou over there were infected with diseases over a month ago. It should have died down by yesterday, but I guess there were some that still had it."
"How do you know that?" Garth asked.
"I'm a scientist, duh."
"So, is there a way we can help her?
"I think a simple blood transfusion and some antibiotics; she'll be able to live. But we need the same blood type as hers."
"Were do we get that?" Humphrey asked.
"Don't worry. I'll get some supplies and we all will do a quick blood test. In the meantime, give Kate these antibiotics until I get back." And with that, he left.
