The Truth
Ch. 3 Heartless
"Humphrey, it's time to get up," My eye's dazed, as Vernon was standing on the side of the bed. "Get ready, and i'll meet you outside in the Eclipse."
I nodded my head, and my vision began to resolve its self. I pushed myself off the bed and landed on my paws, shaking off the dizziness.
"Time to take my surroundings, if I want to get out of here." I started off looking inside the white room. Something caught my attention, something bright.
Deciding to check it out I walked towards it. It was a large crack, almost like it has been hit by a huge tree. I looked outside, and saw the wilderness, but we weren't in the forest.
All I saw was sand, sand, and more sand. "Where the hell am I? No this can't be right."
"Come on Humphrey lets go now." I turned around to see Vernon again. I didn't want to make him wait so I ran toward him, arriving to him I slowed down to a walk, and followed him while we kept walking.
"Alright Humphrey, you're going to wake up were you last ended, we updated the machine a bit, so I believe that we can talk to you, and instead of only hearing my voice you will also be able to see me." While we were walking I was looking around spotting way more than seven people, it was like a huge pack like every pack combined with the western, northern, eastern, and southern. "Alright here we are. Get sit on the machine, and we'll wrapped you in."
I followed the instructions he gave me and walked to the machine called Eclipse. "We meet again machine." I jumped on the machine and sat down. The human called Christa, wrapped me in.
"Ready for launch Vernon." She laid her hand on the button next to my head.
"In 3, 2, 1... push." As they pushed I fell into a darkness.
"Humphrey are you okay?" Rising my head from the ground I replied.
"Yeah Vernon i'm fine. How long can I stay in here?"
"You can only stay in there for 2 hours, and when those two hours pass and you still want to be in there, then you are risking death, if death doesn't hit you, then you will be knocked out, but god knows how long you will be out it could be a minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, hell even a decade." He explained to me, while he put on the webcam, so I could see him.
"Alright that's kinda scary, but I have to stay strong for Kate." I thought in my mind. "Hey Vernon when do I get out of here?"
"You'll be out back in the wild, when you finish looking at your whole past it should be quick. I promise you this will not take longer than 2 weeks, and once we are done we'll put you back where we found you." I nodded in agreement.
"Can we start?" I asked being kinda impatient.
"Oh sorry," He placed his finger on a button. "Ready?"
"Always." I replied with bravery in my voice, as I stood up tall. My act of bravery was soon put to an end when he pressed the button. The shocking took over once again feeling pain all over my body, soon it stopped and I opened both eyes slowly hearing a male pup's voice.
"Come on Humphrey lets go with Kate," I looked up to see a pure black wolf, but has a long white mohawk, his iris color was orange. This wolf seemed familiar, he looked like Sebastian.
"Just give me a sec while I stretch." While stretching I heard a crack from my back, as I got up from stretching I responded. "Alright lets go I need to apologize to Kate either way for being mean to her."
"Yeah you kinda do." We started walking outside, as I saw my dad still with my dead mother on the ground.
"How long has my dad been doing that?" I whispered to Sebastian. Sebastian whispered back at me.
"Ever since you had gone to your den."
"And how long have I been in there?"
"2 hours." We walked past my dad, and he just stared at me.
"Humphrey i'll meet you at the den in an hour. Don't be late!" He let out a growl when he said late.
"Alright dad i'll see you then." I replied seeing the alpha's den in the distance.
"There's the alpha's den, Kate is inside with her family right now." I looked confused on how he knew.
"How do you know this?" I asked.
Sebastian looked at me and spoke, "I visited her first before I came to your den."
We arrived at the den, and before I stepped in I spoke, "Hello.. Kate may I speak with you?"
I heard Kate's father, "Give Kate a second little one." Sebastian and I waited outside patiently, and heard Kate talking to her father. All I heard from this conversation was, "You need to let him know that you're not going to be an omega, so if he wants to be with you he needs to become an alpha like you. Alright go on outside."
The amber wolf ran outside, and bumped into me . "Oh sorry Kate, sorry I got in the way of you." I looked depressed, but she placed her paw under my muzzle.
"It's not your fault, now come on what were you going to tell me?" She asked and she waited with a smile.
"We should talk in a more private place." Sebastian answered.
"Yeah it's about my mom." I agreed with Sebastian.
"Oh." Her smile disappeared and instantly turned into a frown. "Alright we're we going?"
"Into the forest," Sebastian pointed. "It's the most private area around here."
We started walking toward the forest, and when we finally got deep into forest I started talking. "I'm sorry I was being mean to you when my mom died Kate. I just felt like." Kate interrupted me by hugging me, and placing her head on my shoulder.
"It's not your fault, your mom wanted to keep you alive, because you were still young." I returned the hug and we separated.
"Kate I came here, because I want to apologize to you. Whatever this feeling is," I placed my paw on my heart and continued, "I can't let it go. This feeling is going to be the death of me."
Kate moved my hand out of the way of my chest, and placed her head against my chest to hear my heart pounding. "Humphrey, if you want to forget everything that happened today then I will help you. I will do this because of the pain you feel, but remember this you will not remember anything from the time you do the ritual."
Sebastian and I looked at her, as I thought. "Maybe i'll do it, but I have to think about it. I'll meet you here tomorrow morning, because my dad needs to talk to me."
"Alright Humphrey," She hugged me one last time, "Be careful."
"I will Kate, come on Sebastian lets go home." I released the hug and we parted ways.
Finally I arrived at my den. "Alright Sebastian this is where we part ways, as well."
We gave each other a bro hug, and walked into my darkened den. "Dad you in here?"
"I'm right here Humphrey. I need to ask you something." My father snarled.
"Dad why are you so angry at me?" I asked confused, but didn't looked confused. Instead I looked worried.
"Why i'm angry. You don't know why i'm angry you little pest," When I heard pest my heart sunk. "Well little pest let me tell you. I'm angry, because it's your fault that your mother died. We told you specific directions. To come back before dusk, and what did you do. You stayed after dusk."
"Look i'm sorry. I'm very sorry, but you aren't the only one who lost her. I did as well." He looked at me angrily.
"You lost her. Huh what a disappointment, if you didn't protect Kate then none of this would have happened." He let out a growl, and that made me more furious.
"You know what why don't you join her as well. Since you lost her, you don't think this affects me! Well your wrong, i'm a pup this affects me more than you. Wives can be replaced by another easily, but mom's aren't. The only mom i'll have is the one that is dead. I will never have the same affection she gave me with another mom." I yelled at him not even thinking of what I was saying.
"Well little bitch, you are a stubborn pup. Are you hearing what your saying, because all that is some bullshit." He raised his arm, and slashed at my face. I let out a yelp, as I flew to the ground. "Next time keep your mouth shut."
Tears came down my muzzle as the claw marks from my face started to drip blood, and combine with the tears. "You monster, why the hell would you hit a pup!" I got back up and growled at him. "You know that's against pack law."
"Did you know murdering is against the pack law." He opened his mouth and bit down on my stomach, making it bleed.
I screamed my lungs out, and tried to get out of his grip. Once he let me go,I got back up, while the bite marks hurt like hell. "I didn't murder her, why the hell are you blaming me. Is it because you feel guilty that you didn't save her life. Well you know what you couldn't save a life if your life depended on it. Your just a scared wolf, and you're pulling your feelings and hatred on others."
"You're right I do feel guilty, but I know that it was your fault if you had just followed the rules." I interrupted him, and yelled out something a pup shouldn't say.
"Fuck your rules, and fuck you!" I blurted that out not thinking what was going to happen to me. I ran outside with tears in my eyes, as I looked around I saw the whole pack gathering around the den.
I heard people gasping and whispering to each other, hearing only one voice Kate, "Humphrey come back."
Continuing to run into the forest, someone else yelled, "Kate get over here I don't want you next to that bladder mouth."
Finally I arrived to the forest, "I need somewhere to sleep. Like a den or something I need to get away from the pack for a while." I took in my surroundings, and in the distance I saw a small den, made into the ground. "Well that's the best i'm going to get for now."
I ran toward the den, and when I arrived at the den I laid down whipping my tears out of my eye's. "Bladder mouth. Huh I guess I am a bladder mouth." I thought in my head, and began to sleep.
And that little voice in my head, began to speak again. "Alright humphrey we are taking you out, that must've been harsh."
I stated growing into my regular size, and the scene started to turn white again. "Vernon how come I can't remember the pas what happened to me?" I looked at Vernon on the webcam.
"I don't know Humphrey," He shrugged his arms and repeated. "I truly don't know. Alright where taking you out of the machine as well. Be ready. 3, 2, 1, press."
The white scene turned into darkness again, as I started to come back into the real world, but this time I wasn't dizzy. I jumped off the machine, and Vernon told me to walk back to my room.
I agreed and started to walk back, as I was walking back I start thinking to myself. "Why is my dad so heartless? How did I forget all this?" Other types of questions filled my head. I started to question my past.
Finally after a minute or two I had arrived at my room. I laid down on my bed and began to dream, about Kate, and Lilly. "Will I ever go back with them, but if I do return will they remember me? Who will I marry?"
