The Truth
Ch. 2 Inside the Machine
"Uggh, where am I." I instantly remembered Kate. "Kate! Kate are you there?" I waited for a response and I got one, but not from Kate.
"Hello there Humphrey. You are in a machine we called the Eclipse. We have brought you here today to do some experiments with you." I looked around thinking I was dead.
I got a bit more frightened and yelled, "What do you want from me!"
"Markus mark down that we can not under stand animals yet with this version of the Eclipse. It needs to be updated a bit more." He commanded the male called Markus.
"Yes sir." Now I was confused.
'What kind of experiments are they going to do on me?' I thought to myself, but the more I thought about it the more I got worried. It was time I got a hold of my surroundings.
I looked around, and didn't see anything, but white. "Are you serious this white thing goes on for miles." I again came to the thought that I was dead, but then that annoying voice speaks again.
"Alright we are going to show you some images, and you're going to tell us what they are. Christa hit the record." I heard a click and part of the white had turned into a horse outside in the wild running.
Like I had a choice, so I spoke, "It's a horse running in the wild." I heard my voice echo into the blank white scene.
"Replay the recording please." As the recording played again I heard my voice perfectly fine.
"Is that how I sound." I replied looking confused. "Man I still sound like a young pup."
"Hmm I guess this is going to be the only one for today, begin a small flashback." Something appeared out of no where. "What i'm using is called a webcam for your information. It allows us to see each other. What ever your doing I see, and what ever i'm doing you'll see. Oh and just to let you know the white room your in there's no end to it, but soon you will be able to see the forest in no time."
"This webcam sounds pretty cool." As I said that I hear someone in the background.
"We're ready for the memory on your go Vernon." Vernon give a thumbs down at first to which I think means that he isn't ready yet.
"Alright this is going to sting for a little bit, because this is your first time, but with time you won't fell anything you ready Humphrey?" I nod my head yes, and prepared myself.
I saw Vernon smile, "Your a brave wolf Humphrey. Start it in 3, 2, 1, start."
I closed my eye's as the pain started to get to me. "Ahhhhhhhhhh. Uhh uh." The shocking didn't last for very long, and I started to feel the cold breeze run against my fur. I slowly open one eye, as I see nature.
My body felt smaller, so I looked down, and I saw that I was again a pup. "Was I reborn?" I look up from my weak and small body and see my mother, and father. "Are you wolves my parents." I asked while my eye's widened.
The male wolf chuckled, "Of course how can you not remember your own parents?"
I hear something in my head, "Humphrey if you are asking them if they are your parents don't ask them, because this will effect your future, so you have to say that you were playing around, the machine told me that you were an omega, so don't try to be an alpha."
"Humphrey?" The male wolf asked again.
"Yeah sorry dad I was day dreaming again, and I remember you I was just playing around. Can't I have fun?" I got down into my playing stance.
"Alright hot shot you can play outside with your friends, but be home before dusk alright." The female replied and rubbed my head.
"Thanks mom, thanks dad." I ran outside, and looked around to catch my surroundings. As I started to look around I noticed that I wasn't in the western pack. "Where am I?" I whispered to myself, until I bumped into an amber wolf.
"Hey wat-" The amber pup looked at me. "Hey your a pup, you wanna play?" I looked at the amber pup.
"Hey by an-" I then remembered what the human told me.
"What? Is something wrong?" The amber pup asked.
"No, I was just meaning to ask you what your name was."
"My name's Kate yours?"
'Aha I knew it.' I thought in my head. "My name's Humphrey. Nice to meet you."
"So what do you wanna play? Oh have you ever played hide and seek?"
"I love playing hide and seek, but let me tell you something." I waved my hand for her to get closer.
I got closer to her ear, and yelled while running away. "Your it!"
"Hey that's cheating! Ugh whatever i'm going to find you." She yelled at me with a smile.
I saw her counting, and I turned back to find a hiding spot. While I was looking around I finally found a perfect hiding spot, but I was to late. Kate has been following me. She only needed to count to ten, so it was pretty quick.
I back up into the pile of leaves. "Humphrey I know your in there." I knew she had found me, so I pounced onto her.
I started laughing, "You might have found me, but i'm on the top."
"Haha very funny." I got off her, and she stood up. "Alright now you're it count to 10. No cheating."
"I won't, I won't I promise." I turned around and covered my eye's and counted to 10. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6," I stopped right there because I heard Kate in trouble. "Humphrey help!" I ran towards where the scream was and there stood a hunter pointing a gun at Kate. "Kate!"
My bravery took over and I ran in front of Kate. The hunter just smirked and pointed the gun straight at me.
"Humphrey if you die here you die in real life as well, so be careful what you do, So get out of there!." With that it frightened me, but if I didn't protect the younger Kate then I wouldn't have anyone to love. I closed my eye's and prepared for death.
A gunshot was then heard around territory, I didn't feel anything, so I opened one eye slowly. This sight made my eye's open wide. "MOM!" My father was to late and he grabbed the gun from the hunter and pulled it away.
He let out a strong, and angry howl. My dad didn't hesitate to kill the human, because of what he had done.
"Mom, mom are you okay?" I got closer to my mother, and I hugged her. "Please mom don't leave me. I love you."
"Humphrey, be strong for me, promi-" I interrupted her.
"You're going to live!" I screamed. "I won't let death come over you."
My mother rubbed my head, and then placed her paw under my muzzle, bringing it up. "Promise me you will stay as an omega."
"I'll promise if you promise me to stay alive." I sobered some more on her chest.
"You know... I can't do that. Be." She coughed up blood, and her last words drifted. "Be strong for me, I love you so much." Her head hit the ground, as her eye's stood still.
Kate was beside me, with a scared look. "Humphrey i'm so sorry." As Kate whispered to me I left.
"I'll see you tomorrow." I sobbed some more walking back to the den I was in earlier.
"Humphrey, i'm sorry you had to see that. We're pulling you out of the memory for now, until tomorrow, so for the rest of the day you may rest." Vernon replied saddened by what happened.
The color of the den started to fade, and every thing that I felt was gone my feelings were still there, and the memory of that stayed in my head. I was back into the blank endless room.
I started to black out from the white room, and finally I had exited out the machine. I felt dizzy. I saw Vernon, and his little group of 7 people. "We're going to place you into a human room filled with human things so don't freak out. We're going to lock you in there until your next sequence begins alright."
I let out some tears still sad of what happened. Vernon carried me to a soft thing. "This is called a bed alright, so if you need any help just press this button alright." He placed the button on a white wood this that stood on four legs, and had a flat surface. ((A desk or whatever you want to call it.))
I closed my eye's as I heard a random noise of pure air. I look toward the door, and I see it closing. Then there's a weird sound, and the light from above turns from green to red.
Time to close my eyes because it has been a long day, with humans, and the past.
I worked hard on this chapter, and I gave it some thinking. So I might upload this every day, so I can finish, before the 27th, but I doubt it. Date: 06/20/2014 Time: 3:53 a.m. I'm out later, if you would leave a review on how i'm doing I'd really appreciate it. Have a nice day.
