Chapter 7

Joanne and Robin`s funreal was a very sad one much like the others. Joanne`s fiance gave a very moving speech about her as it turned out they had know each other since puppyhood much like Kate and Humphrey. Humphrey had known Robin just a little because she and Joanne had been the ones salty had attempted to talk to but had failed. The thought of that howl brought back a ton of memories from the first time he met garth to the trip that Kate fell in love with him on. He was on the verge of breaking down when Kate realised it and also realised she was too. So they both ended the ceremony and buried the two and afterwards quickly left to go back to the den where they both lay down and broke down crying.

"The two so strong pack leaders are crying like little babies how pathetic." i thought out loud. Though i knew they had as good of a reason as anyone you would think they would handle it a little bit better. "Its memories" said the voice it was really starting to sound like someone else but i couldnt put my finger on it. "Well then" i responded "why dont they think of good memories im actually felling a little bit guilty seeing pack leaders like this." I was actually feeling guilty? oh great now i would start slacking amd feeling regret and mercy and all that shit things like me shouldnt feel how fucking great. "Very well then" my voice said then it went away. So i guess i would wait for the group tonight on the cliffs that is were they would be hunting for me.

It was close to midday though Humphrey had pulled himself together Kate was still crying so he went to comfort her. She felt his paw go around her and a sudden warmth went through her and she began to pull together. He nuzzled her and asked "you OK Kate?" she replied "yeah ill be fine i just miss them" he looked into her hazel eyes and said "we all do." He kissed her then got up as did she they knew they had a hunt to fulfill the caribou was getting low again. They also were hunting for that creature on the cliffs tonight so they would need extra energy for that to. The hunting group wasnt planned to be very large just about 5 wolves Humphrey, Kate, Hutch, Can-Do, and Tyler. They were going to the usual ground which held alot of caribou they would have a good kill today they hoped anyway. As they approached nothing seemed unusual so they went on with it. Humphrey saw a group of 4 caribou that would leave one extra guy to give assistance to anyone who may need it. He gave the signal then they all jumped at their own caribou and the caribou had no chance of getting away. Before they all knew it the wolves were on their throats and the caribou went down within a minute. "Dinner for a pack" said Hutch "Yeah it is" replied Humphrey "Well lets get this back then" Can-Do said.

The meal did the whole pack some good considering food had been becoming scarce since the rampage restarted. No hunts had been done since it had restarted so all the caribou that was carried in by the hunting group was welcome and everyone dug in. Humphrey and Kate took a leg off the largest one and carried it back to their den. Humphrey decided a good conversation with Kate could be good so he started one with "its about time we had caribou again eh?" Kate laughed a little then said "oh quit being such a smart ass you know how everyone tries." He replied "ya i know but its just maybe we should all try harder now that we are the pack leaders." Kate lay down next to Humphrey and they started eating "so" Kate said with her mouth full "this is pretty good huh Humphrey?" he replied "yeah considering we havent eaten in a few days." She laughed at the comment and went back to eating. It didnt take too long for the leg to be devoured and they were both full so they decided to take a quick nap so they both lay down next to each other. However for Humphrey sleep came with nightmares.

THE NIGHTMARE

The creature was standing right there in front of him along with the shadowy figure of a wolf. He looked so familiar as if Humphrey had seen him before but him being just a shadow he couldnt be sure about anything. Then he saw Kate and her litter of pups all born but he wasnt their and the creature was along with the shadow. Humphrey tried to run but couldnt move anything he was stuck and Kate was trapped. Then he saw the den areas being raided familes being killed in their homes along with his best freinds. He was so helpless then he saw the two things in front of him and he too was killed his soul left the body and was taken to all the murder scenes of the rampages as he heard a voices screaming in pain but he couls still do nothing. The the black sky somehow turned darker as the green eyes blew throught the clouds and he heard a voice say. "Its my turn to kill and take my revenge"

BACK TO REALITY

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" Humphrey yelled as he looked around the den. The sky was back to normal and Kate was right there next to him dozing he decided not to wake her up. He exited the den half expecting to see people being killed but everything was normal in the territory. He realised it had been a nightmare and decided against going to sleep again so he simply lay back down next to Kate and kept himself occupied looking around. This creature was literally getting into his head how much more could he take of this?
