Only New Life, Can Defeat Death

Sorry for not updating in a while. Got busy on Thanksgiving and practically the last few days were kind of lazy. I didn't really use my computer because of my brother. He uses it time to time for Runescape. All right, I heard that you think that Gordon is a child abuser, ass, and other stuff; well it puts more to the suspense, and drama that is later to come. Well, enough said, lets continue.

Humphrey knew his father would beat him for leaving, and relied on his instincts. One second Humphrey was standing still, next, he was gone in a flash. Humphrey took off, running away from his dad, trying to get away from him. The cool refreshing air blowing across his fur, and the adrenaline he had been bottling up was now released.

As he was running he was smiling, running faster and faster, but made a crucial mistake of not paying attention. As he was running, he stumbled on a tree root that was sprouting above the ground and fell. The speed he had and the fall he just took led him to tumble on the ground and smack right into a tree.

The force of the tree hitting his skull caused a small fracture on the back of his skull, knocking him out instantly. Humphrey laid on the ground unconscious, leaving him vulnerable for an attack from his dad. As his dad walked through the forest, following his scent, he came upon Humphrey on the floor unconscious.

Without hesitation, he picked his limped body up and ran to Winston's and Eve's den, due to that fact that Eve was the pack healer. Within minutes, he reached the den and saw Eve just about to lay down with Kate when she saw him enter.

"Winston, what's wrong? Why do you have Humphrey on your back?" Eve asked.

"No time, he's unconscious, and was attacked by someone." Winston explained as he set Humphrey down. Eve shot up and walked to help Humphrey in his condition. As Eve came closer to Humphrey's body, she noticed that the back of his head was bruised, and swelling.

"Winston, grab me some yellow and purple flowers, along with some leaves." Eve ordered. Winston left in a flash and was quickly back with the flowers, but left again to get the leaves. Eve grabbed the yellow leaf and rubbed it in between her paws, squeezing the juice on her paws. Once she got the juice, she began to rub it in the cuts on his face and back.

"Mom, what happening?" Kate asked as she walked to her mom.

"Kate, sweetie, stay back. Humphrey's hurt." Eve explained. Kate did what she was told, but kept her eyes on the wolf named 'Humphrey'.

"What on your paw?" Kate asked, her voice still not fully ready to talk regularly.

"I'm putting herbs on him, so his cuts won't get infected." Eve answered as she just finished placing the herb. Eve then grabbed the purple flower and did the same, rubbing it into the cuts.

"What happen to him?" Kate asked again.

"Don't know sweetie, but he's hurt really bad. Mommy needs to treat him, so can you wait for me?" Eve asked, focusing on his cuts.

"Okay… what his name?" Kate asked. Eve sighed, and began to put the purple flower itself on Humphrey's head.

"Humphrey, his name is Humphrey." Eve answered and began to put pressure on the flower, causing the juice to become glued on his bruised head. Eve finished this and when she looked up, she saw Winston enter the den with the leaves.

"Here you go, do you know what's wrong with him?" Winston asked worried.

"He seems to have a fractured skull from the look of that." Eve responded as she pointed to the bruise and swelling in the back of his head.

"Who would have done this too him?" Winston asked, thinking who would have done it.

"I don't know, but whoever did, should pay. He's lucky he didn't die." Eve threated as she placed the leaves on the cuts to keep the herbs on him. Hearing the word 'die' caused Kate to have a small freak out.

"Mom, if I kiss him, will he wake up like in the story you told me last night?" Kate asked, tears forming in her eyes. Eve and Winston looked at Kate, wide eyes and jaws almost open.

"N-no Kate. That wouldn't happen. That was just a story." Eve explained as she focused on Humphrey. Kate looked back at him and walked closer, and sitting next to his face. His face was almost completely covered in leaves due to the scratches he got. Eve and Winston walked off behind Humphrey and began to discuss who would do that to Humphrey.

With her parents back turned, Kate pushed her luck and went along to kiss Humphrey to wake him from his slumber. Kate leaned closer and closer to his face, her face blushing a deep red. Kate could now feel the small puffs of his breathing, making her almost pass out from kissing her first boy.

Kate locked lips with his, feeling the slight moisture of his lips against hers, making her close her eyes and enjoy the moment when Eve pulled her away.

"Kate! What were you doing to him!" Eve shouted. Kate was still blushing, but couldn't keep her eyes off Humphrey. He didn't move and was still unconscious, making Kate want to kiss him again. Eve pulled her aside and held Kate's head, forcing her to look at her mom.

"He's going to wake up, he can't die." Kate began to cry, worrying for Humphrey.

"Kate, he's not going to die, he needs his rest. But why were you kissing him? I told you it doesn't work, it was just a story." Eve explained, calming her down a little. Kate pushed her mom's paws off and laid next to Humphrey, cuddling up next to him, and not letting go.

"Eve was going to pull her off, but realized that she could cause some real damage if she does so.

"Kate, he needs to rest, he'll wake up tomorrow." Eve lied, trying to get her daughter away from Humphrey, preventing Kate from hurting him even more.

"Promise?" Kate asked, beginning to stop crying. Eve didn't want to lie, but she needed to.

"Promise, but he'll be sleepy when he does so he might fall back to sleep." Eve added, making the lie now almost a truth.

"Okay." Kate responded as she pulled away, but kissed him again, making Eve freak out and pull her away.

"Stop doing that! You don't even know him." Eve shouted, pulling Kate to the back of the den. Kate laid down, and Eve walked back to Winston who was still thinking who would have done that to a pup.

"Winston, no one would have done that to him. No one even knows about him except…" Eve was cut off when Winston spoke up.

"Except his parents, Eve do you think… Gordon, might have done this? Krystal was talking to Dylan this afternoon so it couldn't have been her." Winston informed.

"No… Gordon couldn't have done this to his own son. He couldn't." Eve protested.

"Eve, it leaves him, it couldn't have been Krystal, and Gordon is the only one that we haven't seen at all today, except for the morning hunt." Winston defended his suspect.

"I know honey, but it doesn't sound like him to do that to his own son." Eve said with her ears slightly drooping.

"We won't know for sure until he comes too. I'm afraid that if Gordon did do this, then what would Krystal do and if he will ever wake up." Winston questioned. Eve nodded and walked back to Kate and lay down. Winston turned to look out the den and noticed it was already night fall, and the moon was hidden behind the clouds.

Winston turned his attention back to Humphrey who was still unconscious and was slightly bleeding from his ears. This was worrying him, so he grabbed the last purple flower and a small piece of yellow, and smashed them together. When he had done this, he placed it on the inside of his ears. This stopped the bleeding almost instantly, and Winston took a step back.

"Happy late birthday Humphrey." Winston whispered as he began to walk to his wife and daughter.

(Humphrey's Home)

Krystal was standing in the entrance of the den and saw a note scratched in the dirt floor.

Dear Krystal,

I decided to take Humphrey for a little hiking. He seemed to be a little sad since he didn't get a birthday gift on his birthday, so I wanted to do this. I hope it doesn't anger you, but I wanted some father-son time you know? A little bonding, but I also wanted him to experience his first night out of the den, so were sleeping out in the forest. We'll be back the day after tomorrow, because I also want to see if he could find some friends.

You're Husband,

Gordon.

Krystal had a weak smile, wanting it to be a family hike, but was too late. She walked in the den and fell asleep. Little did she know, Gordon beat their son, and drove him away.

(Somewhere in the Forest)

Gordon was running in the forest, trying to find his son. He looked everywhere, but couldn't even find a scent.

"Lucky me I wrote that letter, so I have an extra day to find his dumbass." Gordon growled. He found a dead tree that was still standing, and it had a hole at the bottom. Gordon walked in and quickly fell asleep.

The night was calm, pleasant silver coat over the territory, but dark thoughts clouded Gordon mind.

So Hu

So Humphrey is unconscious and Kate kept kissing him. Eve was mad that Kate did that to a wolf she didnt even know, and her and Winston narrowed the possibilities to be Gordon and Krystal to be the one that abused Humphrey. Wow, okay, I will probably update on Tuesday, (11/29/11) so please enjoy this chapter and leave a Review, telling me how much it sucked( I doubt it) but still, I want to hear what you have to say.
