"Twist of Fate"
Chapter 2 "Problems"
It was a cold sring morning and fog had setted over the landscape makeing it hard to see more then a
few feet had just woken up and found himself in a warm den. As he looked around he saw yellow
feathers and remembered the duck and thought to himself "Man what happened?..." then it all came back
to him the painful memories and the pain from the bumb on his fore head. After looking around for about 2
minutes Hemphrey heard dome flapping and saw 2 birds crash into the den. He quickly approached and saw it was
a goose and a duck.
"Well that wasn't as well as I hoped...Anyways hello my furry friend."spoke a overwieght goose.
"I'm fine. Hey you're the ones who hit me with that rock!" replied an upset Humphrey.
"Yes this is true ...BUT we also saved you from freezeing to death." retorted the pompose goose.
"Well it was actually me who brought you in here." Piped in the yellow duck.
"Wel um...thanks I guess... Hey I'm Humphrey."
"Well it's quite nice to meet you. My name is Paddy and this is my friennd Marcel." Replied Paddy while
pointing to Marcel.
"Nice to meet you... Hey do you know were I am?" asked a confused Humphrey.
"Actually..yes we do know but..." Marcel paused and looked at Paddy as Humphrey began to raise his eyebrow.
"Well...my coleage and I need some sort of proof we wont be you'r breakfest." said a rather nervouse Paddy.
"You have my word...Plus I don't know how to hunt anyways..." replied Humphrey in an imberessed tone.
Marcel and Paddy shot each other confused looks before Paddy broke the silence by saying "Well sir...
It seems you are in quite the prdicament."
Humphrey now a little annoyed said "Well duh! That's why I'm trying to go gp home. Now will you please
tell me were I am?"
Sinceing the hostility in his voice Paddy decided not to push his buttons anymore and just answer him
"Well you're in Saw Tooth National Park located in Idaho."
Humphrey looked at them not changeing his tipped off Marcel that he had no idea were they
he added to it "YOU know Idaho! Fields and a few billion potatoes..." However it was of no use for
he still stood there no progress being made Paddy pipped in saying "Well maybe if you
told us were you use to live we can help be more useful" Humphrey quickly nodded and replied "Right...
I use to live in Jasper Park untill I was taken here." After a moment of suprise Marcel replied "Jasper
Park?! Get out of here we love Jasper!" Paddy chimed in saying "Yes we've toured it many times! If you
want we can help you get home." Humphrey paused before saying "Ya I don't know...I mean after what
happend when I was there last time..." Marcel and Paddy one again shot each other confused looks before
adding"Why what happened?" Humphrey now siting in a corner replied "It's a long story..." then continued
to look down. Paddy flew up to him and said while putting his wing on his shoulder "Oh it's quite all right
we have plenty of time..."
MEANWHILE WITH KATE
It was about now Kate was wakeing up from her sleep. she yawned a bit before walking out looked
around before proceeding to the spot her parents were normaly at in the morning. When she got there Eve
turned to her before signaling for her to walk over. When she made it there she was a bit groggy seeing as
she just woke up.
Eve said to Kate trying not to be noticeable "Kate dear you're slouching... Oh and try to wake you'r
self up will you?"
Kate replied with another yawn and said "Okay mom..."before siting straight up trying to wake herself up.
Winston finshed his morning announcement he dismissed everyone. He turned to Kate who was sleeping while
sitting staight made him smile and walk over to Kate; who was still fast asleep. Winston gently
nuged Kate awake so he was not to startle her.
"Huh wha?..."said a sleepy Kate not even opening her eyes.
"Ssssh it's okay sweetie... Hey I gave you the day off because of how stressed out over what happened
yesterday. You'r mom and I will take over you'r duties for the day just go get some rest." said
winston in a gentle voice.
"Wait what happened yester...day..." Kate couldn't stop it and she fell asleep and began to snore.
Winston then looked toward Garth,who was standing off to the side, and signeled for him to come over.
"Yes you called me?" replied a curiouse but polite Garth
"Hey Garth do me a favor...You see Kate?" said Winston pointing his claw to Kate who,once again,
was sleeping while sitting up.
"Yaaaa... I see her..." replied Garth as peaked over Winston's shulder to look at her
"Can you please help her to bed? She had a rough day yesterday and I think it would do her well to
have some time off from her duties." added Winston
"Ya sure I-I mean yes sir." replied Garth a little nervouse because Eve was glareing at him clearly
with the intention to harm.
as Garth passed by to go wake up Kate he was first greeted by stopped him only to say "If
I find out you tried anything or hurt my daughter...I won't hesitate to ripe out you'r throught
and feed you to the birds..." She then continued walking by leaving behind a very frightened Garth.
BACK TO HUMPHREY
It had been 20 or so minutes since we left to see what happened with Kate and Humphrey had
finished telling them about his heart break and was welcomed to stay there if he he had no
were left to go he they went to fly off Humphrey followed them outside.
"Hey hey were are you going?" asked Humphrey who was a little curiouse to see why they were leaveing so
soon.
"Well we are going to go get are welcome to join us if you'd like." replied
Paddy who turned around.
"Sure thing, so were are we going?"asked a curiouse Humphrey
"Well my furry friend there just so happens to be a resturant not far from here were they through
out their left overs." replied Marel licking his beak.
"Wait you mean like scraps?" Humphrey said a little insulted.
"What a big bad wolf to good for some scraps from a fine resturant like "Big Joes"?" added Marcel
once more.
"No it's just I'm kind of a picky eater."replied Humphrey
After about 5 minuttes of running/flying thay reached the back of the resturant were they found a
lot of bread crumbs lieing on the ground. Paddy and Marcel quickly wasted no time and began eating.
Humphrey sat there for a minute before asking"Wait that's it?That's the high end resturant? It's just
bread crumbs!"
They both looked at him before Paddy replied "So sorry we forgot that you were a... carnivour. If you
look directly behind you you will find that has more... uh... preferable...food..." They all looked
to were paddy had pointed to see a dull metal trash can.
"What? You got to be kidding me...That's a trash can all that's in there is-" Humphrey stopped when
he caught a wiff of something mouth began to water uncontrolably before he looked
were the scent came looked back at Paddy and Marcel who were snickering at his behavour
after haveing insulted their idea.
"OH shut up..." said Humphrey bitterly as his stomach commanded him to search for food.
After about 2 minutes of searching he found it! he pulled out a round object covered with white paper.
Humphrey unwrapped it and was glad to see it was missing only one bite. It was a grilled cheeseburger
with cheese melted all over it and mayonaise on it coupled with a tomatoe and some lettuce. Humphrey
thought to his self "Wow still warm... who would through it out?" His stomach's growling forced him
to savagely start eating it. Marcel and Paddy were off put at how he ripped into the burger. There
was a creek and the screen door to the restureant except Humphrey noticed there was
a human in the door way.
Paddy quickly shouted "T-Take off!" as he sloppily flew away with Marcel. The human returned with
a shotgun and aimed at HUmphrey. Humphrey noticed this and backed away from the resturant slowly.
"Say you'r prayers you mongrul." said the human aiming the barrel of his gun down at
this Humphrey peed his self and bolted out of there as fast as he man tried to shoot but
was unsuccesful as the buck shot shattered a petrified tree stump just above his target. Humphrey
ran as fast as he could untill his body gave out and he collapsed from exhaustion. As he fell to
the ground he was panting hard. He tried to stand up but his body would start to shake and shiver
at every attempt and virtually he collapsed to the ground when ever he attempted to stand. After
about 10 minutes of recovering he still couldn't get flew down to his side and helped him
up.
"Where...did...you...go..."Asked Humphre weakly still trying to cath his breath.
Marcel landed next to him and immediately asked "Where did you go?"
A look of anger crossed Humphrey's face as he gave Marcel a spine chilling "I'm gonna kill you"
Paddy noticed this and enterviened before Humphrey could hurt Marcel by saying "Well
we circled back around when we saw you didn't hear us...but just as we got there we
saw something incredible..."
Humphrey paused before saying "And that would be what?"
Paddy and Marcel looked at each other before Paddy finished by saying"...You moved so fast...we
simply couldn't keep up...That's why it took us some time to find you-" Marcel interupted by adding
"-All the way out here..." It took Humphrey a minute to realize it but he was already at the den's
stood up and walked over to the middle of the den and plopped down in the middle of the
room.
Marcel stood there for a second before saying "Well it's been a pleasure but we must get going..."
Humphrey lifted his head and asked as they turned around leave "Wait you're not staying?"
Paddy froze before turning and saying "Well we would stay but were in a very important tournament
at the moment and can't be late."
Humphrey stood up instantly and walked over to them in a hurry and replied "Wait wait wait you
can't just leave!"
Marcel turned aroungd a little annoyed and replied "And why exactly is that?"
Humphrey quickly replied "I need to get home! That's why!"
Paddy said trying to come up with an excuse "Well we are heading to Jasper but it's extreamly
dangerouse to travel by land. No offence...Humphrey you just wouldn't survive..."
Humphrey was really hurt by what he said but it was true!Then it hit him like a bolt of lightning!
"Wait a minute..." Humphrey annoyed with the dellays Marcel said in a dreadful tone
"Whaaaaat my furry friend?!" Humphrey then looked and said "Over the next year if I learn to
survive and defend myself will you take me?" Paddy looked to Marcel then replied "Well I suppose
...fine in a years time we will return from our golf you can care for you'r self by then
we will take you." Humphrey jumped up in excitment and said "THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!" He hugged
them tightly nearly chokeing them to death. "It's a deal! I'll see you in a years time!"Shouted
Humphrey. To be honest Paddy and Marcel both felt a little guilty because they new he probably
woudn't survive the first week on his own but still they continued. It was obviouse he was still
in love with Kate even after their fight...
