Chapter 4

"we need to find some food fast." Said Humphrey pointing at the horizon where the sun was setting.

"Look! Over there, there's a pond with some berries growing by it." Lilly said.

"Good find Lilly, I'm really starting to like your company." Humphrey said. Lilly blushed.

They both walked over to the pond and took a drink. Suddenly Humphrey splashed water into Lilly's face. Lilly being surprised whimpered.

"Ha, I got ya." Humphrey said chuckling.

Humphrey went back to taking a drink when suddenly he was tackled. Humphrey let out a loud whimper.

"Ha, now I've got you." Lilly said proud of herself. She looked back down at Humphrey but before she could say anything else Humphrey leaned up and kissed her. Lilly was surprised at first but didn't pull away she just enjoyed it. Humphrey saw something rustle in the bushes. He pulled away from the kiss.

"Did you see that?" Humphrey said with concern.

"See what? I was a little busy at the moment." Lilly said with a smile.

"It was probably nothing." This time Lilly leaned down and continued the kiss. Then they both heard it, a rustle in the bushes. Lilly pulled back from the kiss.

"Now that time I heard it." Lilly got off Humphrey and they both got up. Humphrey got a rock and threw it into the bushes. Then they heard a loud yelp as something ran away. All they saw was a glimpse of dark blue fur.

"Humphrey, I think you scared him off." Lilly said.

"lets go after him." Humphrey replied, and they both took off running after it.

Meanwhile

Kate woke up to the familiarity of a certain smell. She soon realized what it was.

"Garth! Garth! Wake up!" Kate yelled.

"What is it?" Garth asked.

"I have Humphrey's and Lilly's scents, hurry we have to get off before I lose it!"

"Okay, okay!" Garth said. "You don't have to yell." Garth and Kate quickly jumped off the train and followed the scent.

They soon found the spot under the tree where Lilly and Humphrey had laid. Kate quickly spotted the blood from Lilly's wound.

"Garth look!" She said as she pointed at the blood." I hope they're ok." Kate said in a worried voice.

"And if they're not we can eat them." Garth said with a smile.

"Garth!" Kate said while punching him in the shoulder.

"What? I'm hungry!" Garth retorted.

"You can eat after we find them." Kate said with an annoyed tone.

The two kept following the scents until they reached the pond where Humphrey and Lilly had taken a drink from.

"Come on Kate I'm starving!" Garth said.

Kate walked over to the berry bush and picked a big piece off. "If you're hungry you can eat this." Kate threw the berries at Garth.

Garth caught them. "You know, suddenly I'm not that hungry anymore."

Kate looked around and saw paw prints leading away from the pond, then she realized there were three sets of paw prints.

"Garth, come look at this. I sure hope they are okay." Kate said remembering the blood near the tree.

"Come on, let's follow them." Kate said and they both walked off deeper into the forest.

A/N Man it sure is getting interesting. Don't forget to R&R.

Peace.
