Connor, Humphrey and Kate found themselves traveling through the forest, for most of the day.
'I hope we are getting close' Kate would think a few times.
"You two alright?" Connor asked, as he noticed, that his new friends were very quiet, for most of the walk today. "We're fine" Humphrey replied. "Alright, just checking" Connor replied back.
"By the way, I don't mean to be the negative one here, but can we could get some food soon?" Kate asked. "Well, for now there's a big berry bush" Connor said. "Oh man, I had berries" Humphrey groaned to himself. But still he went with the other two. As they ate for a while, before they would be containing there long journey.
Suddenly Connor heard something. "WHAT WAS THAT?" He cried. "What?" Kate and Humphrey both asked. Connor didn't answer. He followed where the sound came from. Wondering what he was doing, the other two closely followed him.
The three of them ended up seeing a large group of caribous. "Sweet, more food" Kate said, getting ready to go up to one. Connor stopped her. "Wait… Feels, like, there may be other predators here" Connor said quickly. Kate was confused. "BEARS!" Humphrey called out suddenly. Pointing to an approaching group of brown bears. Half the size of full grown grizzlies. And a lot more scary looking.
"Shit, Kodiaks!" Connor replied nervously. "Stay hidden, there is no way in hell we would servive an attack from a group of such creatures" he continued.
The other two, didn't even need to be told twice, they jumped in a nearby bush. Connor did the same. The three watch as the bears attack the Caribou horde. Leading to a battle between the two creature packs. But the Caribous did not stand a chance against the powerful bears. And the caribous were quickly getting killed. Many of the Caribou's tried kicking the bears but the bears resisted the pain. The attack wasn't seeming to actually be very long. Most of the Caribous started running off, after a great deal of them were killed by the Kodiaks.
The Kodiaks appeared to start leaving, dragging the Caribou bodies with them.
"Is it safe" Kate asked quietly. "I'll check" Connor replied. Connor took a quick look around. "They're gone, you could come out" He said. The other two popped out of the bush.
The three continued the walk. Unfortunately a lone Kodiak appeared in their path, and spotted them. "Of course" Connor ground. The Kodiak started horribly growling at them. The three wolves realized, that there only option, was unfortunately to fight the creature blocking their path.
The three of them, tired everything they could, but the Kodiak was too damn powerful. They were getting scratched up, quite a lot.
The three wolves were becoming super tired. However the bear was still full of a great deal of strength and energy. It threw Connor a few feet, and Connor ended up getting the wind knocked out of him. "CONNOR!" cried both Kate and Humphrey. Connor was too busy, suffering his moment of not breathing, to respond.
Kate ended up having the bear scratch at her face. Practically destroying her pretty face, by leaving three HUGE scratch marks, covering basically all of it. And it was bleeding quite badly. "KATE!" Humphrey screamed.
The bear approached poor Kate. But Humphrey jumped in front of her. Fighting off the bear, best he could.
But the bear grabbed his jaws briefly into Humphrey's neck. And threw Humphrey's onto a thick tree, possibly breaking his whole back, and leaving poor Humphrey screaming from the brutal pain, of the powerful blow.
Kate lost it, and ran up to the bear. Using all her might, to scratch the carp out of the bear. And started biting at its leg. The bear, was getting into pain, but not dying, not even close. Suddenly Connor jumped on it. Finally defeating it, as he jabbed his jaws into its neck, not releasing untill it's pulse stopped.
"You alright?" Connor asked Kate. She nodded. "Thanks" she said, catching her breath.
The two of them ran up to Humphrey. He was at least conscious. Kate ran over, reaching a few tears, as she softly but passionately hugged him.
"Is your back alright?" Connor asked. "I… I don't know… Maybe" Humphrey responded best he could.
The other two, gently started helping Humphrey up, without damaging his condition. "Could you walk?" Kate asked. "I… I think so" Humphrey responded weakly.
"We better get moving" Connor said. The other two nodded. Connor took a step closer to Humphrey. "We're almost there, I promise" He softly told him.
