Chapter 2
An hour after the tragedy.
Garth, Kate, Humphrey and Eve had just finished eating. Lilly, on the other hand, was still eating, after having most of the dinner.
"Honey, slow down." said Garth. "You're like a chainsaw or something."
"Well, I'm hungry." said Lilly.
"How can you still be hungry?" asked Garth. "You ate half the dinner, and not to mention the two caribou this morning."
"Well, I'm still hungry." said Lilly.
"You're gonna make yourself sick, Lilly." said Eve.
"No I'm not!" Lilly exclaimed.
"Well jeez, hun." said Eve. "Last time I ate like that, I was pregnant with you and Kate."
"But mom, I'm not pregnant." said Lilly. "I'm just really hungry."
"Are you sure?" asked Eve.
"Yes." said Lilly, with an attitude. "I'm not pregnant."
"...Okay." said Eve.
Outside the den.
Kate sat crying when Eve came outside.
Humphrey saw and faced the den wall, upset with himself.
"Dinner wasn't the same without dad." Kate said and wiped tears off her face.
"Honey, I know how you feel." said Eve.
"NO YOU DON'T!" shouted Kate. "How can you even say that! Mom, I was supposed to look after everyone and I wasn't here when that happened. It wouldn't have happened if I were here."
"You couldn't stop it even if you were here." said Eve.
"I've seen it before, mom." said Kate. "I am the best and most talented alpha you've ever trained. And if I weren't able to save them, who would?"
Eve didn't know what to say, so she went back inside the den.
Kate saw fun times below. She saw things that she, Lilly and her father would do together when she and Lilly were pups.
"I'm sorry, dad." said Kate.
Night.
A male wolf howled.
"Yeah." he sung.
"Whoa-o-oh." sung his mate.
"Wha-o-o-o-o-oh." they sang.
Lilly & Garth then sang:
If we never felt this love
If we hadn't took that road
If we hadn't had the heart
We wouldn't have this home
Love, love will take you
Love, love will take you there
Kate & Humphrey:
I think it'd be nice with you
With you, with you, with you
Fingertips, northern lights
Tracing colors right through the sky
Underneath a lullaby
I never felt as blissful as I do here
And my heart sings
In a world so incredible
And everything
Shines much brighter
I (I) wanna fly-y
Into this beautiful life, I think it'd be nice with you
I want to fly-y
Into this beautiful life, I think it'd be nice with you
With you, with you, with you
Set the night on fire if we want to
Hanging out with the stars and the big moon
I'm very well, thank you, how do you do
Set the night on fire if we want to
Hanging out with the stars and the big moon
Pull 'em down for a dance with your lasso
"Humphrey, I can't do this." said Kate.
"Why?" asked Humphrey.
"I'm not exactly up for howling right now." said Kate.
"But you're doing great." said Humphrey.
"May we please talk in the woods?" asked Kate.
"Yes." said Humphrey and the two walked back into the woods.
