The Truth Ch. 7 Who's there?
I woke up with with a jump, and yelped. I couldn't remember my dream clearly. All I could make out was that I was with Kate, and Sebastian. My father had slashed me, since he thought I was the murderer of my mom.
I shook off the idea of that being true, and just thought of it as a nightmare. I walked over to a hole in the wall, and looked through it. All I could see was sand. I then got a memory. It was like deja vu. I placed my paw on the window, which I now remember the name, but quickly removed it. It was steaming hot.
I was confused, since my white room was so cool, and out there was so hot. Looking around I saw a cage sitting in the back of the room. I intently remembered Kate and Sebastian, so I looked around trying to find them.
This time I didn't have luck. I couldn't find them any where, but I did find a note. It read, "Humphrey this is Sebastian. I left the key card in a crack on a wall, since it was the only good hiding spot. Hopefully they didn't find it. See you home Humphrey, and go west from here. You'll find Jasper in no time, if you keep running. Later brother, and good luck."
I looked around, and found the crack he was talking about. I then remembered again the first time I came here I found that crack. I just didn't remember how many days I've been here, but this room is freaking me out.
Walking toward the crack in the wall I stuck two of my claws in, and pulled out the magical card. Once I pulled it out I heard the door open. I instantly threw the key card under the bed, and sat there looking innocent.
Looking at a random man I began to act suspicious. It wasn't Vernon. This man had a gun in hand, and wore green clothing, with some tan patches. This man wore a green helmet as well, and looked surprisingly serious. I looked at him, until another man walked in wearing the same thing. They stood on opposite sides of the door, as if they were guarding it.
Then a familiar face walked through the door. "Vernon!" I yelled with excitement, but yelped, as the two men with guns pointed it at me.
"You idiots. Lower your rifles. This wolf is precious to me." He demanded, as they lowered their guns down. "Come Humphrey, we have unfinished business for you." Vernon started leaving the room, as I began to follow.
Right when I left the warm room, they exited the room as well, and began following us. I didn't want to speak, since they would just shoot me without hesitation. "Alright Humphrey, just a heads up. You have been out cold for about a month now. We returned your friends back home, because they found out their pasts. So you're on your own now." He explained this to me, and I just nodded.
When we turned into the time machine room, I jumped onto the plat from of the machine. I looked at the two men wearing green, and they stood there with all seriousness. "Three two one." Vernon counted down, making me jump back into the dark state. None of this affected me anymore. It was just a little pinch.
"Hey Vernon!" I spoke when my vision turned white. Vernon turned on his webcam, and spoke to me.
"What's wrong Humphrey?" He asked concerned.
I looked at him, then looked to the men still standing. "Who are those men standing behind you?" I questioned.
Vernon sighed, and nodded. "Just to make sure nothing happens." I nodded, and began the sequence.
Like always it turned to where I was at last time, but this time was different. I awoke to the sound of rattling. My little ears perked up at the sound of a mysterious presence inside a bush. I peeked outside just for a little look of who it was.
This wasn't an ordinary wolf just wondering around lost. No, it was worse than that. I was more like an attack, a plan to execute the western pack. I then remember the actual scenery of the present western pack. It was dead, and had a bit of vegetation here and there, but this was full of vegetation. I knew something was very wrong.
As soon as I placed my head back into the den I hear a loud sound, after that I couldn't hear a thing. All I could hear was this ringing sensation in both my ears. Every wolf woke up, and I had just mistaken a human for a wolf. I stayed inside my den curled up into a small ball. I looked weak like always. Omega's never fight, instead we make peace.
While I stayed up in my little ball tears began falling out of my sapphire blue eyes. I closed them tightly, as more and more of those loud shots were being fired. I could smell the gunpowder in the air, but in the mist of all this was the smell of smoke.
This alarmed me, I took a quick peek outside, and saw a face I thought was false. This man had wolf pelt on him. The head of this wolf was on top of his head. The wolf was my father, and that man was Vernon. He looked over in my direction, and hesitated to pull the trigger. His sights were already on me.
None the less he was attacked by a wolf that just joined the pack. How could I be so foolish. I heard wolves yelp, and humans scream as they died by bits, or by getting clawed to death. This was more pain than ever before in my live. The scent of the smoke grew thicker by very second.
I as the little omega ran out, and heard in the voice of Black calling out to me. "Humphrey." I could hear him panting from a distance, as he continued calling my name. "Humphrey. Get out of he-" Then I heard the loud yelp of my friend that helped me combined with a gun shot.
I looked back to see Vernon with a crazy smile on his face. He had a scar on his left cheek. I recalled when I first met him. I remembered the scar he had on the same cheek. Now I know exactly what happened! I wasn't thinking straight, so I just ran out of the range of this war between my pack and the humans.
While I ran to the feeding grounds I saw fire going toward the dens. "VERNON!" I yelled, as my vision turn black. I couldn't see anything now. I heard a small evil laugh in the distance, and a small voice saying something that I just remembered. "Remember Humphrey if you die while using the machine then you die in real life, but sadly you didn't die by the machine."
Sorry about the late update. I got sick, and lets just say I couldn't update, since I stayed in bed every day. Anyways I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and now you know how Vernon got that scar from about the 2nd chapter. I can assure you this is not the end of the story.
