Only New Life, Can Defeat Death
Okay, first off, I am trying to do this chapter on my iPod. So if sucks, which I mean by short chapter, mispronunciation, then that is the reason why.
Humphrey had his eyes closed, waiting for the hard impact of the river to cure his pain. As the front part of his body fell, Humphrey's hind courters fell along with him, but hitting the ground. Kate dashed forward, her feet carrying her as fast as they could go. As Kate saw Humphrey's butt lift up, she dove, her body gliding across the ground and stopping just as she was able to get a hold of his tail.
Humphrey yelped in pain at the sudden tug and grasp on his tail. His body abruptly stopped and swung downward, but as it swung, Humphrey didn't have enough time to brace himself and came into contact with the wall of the cliff; knocking him out. Eve shrieked as she saw Kate's body begin to slide towards the cliff, holding onto Humphrey's limp body. Kate tried with all her might to hold onto her love, but it seemed as if death was calling them both. Kate felt her front paws come onto contact with the edge, and was rapidly loosing her strength.
"I'm sorry I'm not strong enough." Kate thought to herself. But suddenly, she felt a small amount of pain on her tail, pulling her back away from the cliffs edge. Kate's body slid away, still holding onto Humphrey, and soon was on the ground with Humphrey. Kate let go of Humphrey's tail and rolled him over, seeing him unconscious and his ears slightly bleeding from another head trauma.
"Mom, Humphrey needs help!" Kate shouted, alerting her mom. Winston and Gordon who were standing in shock, were pulled out and Winston growled at Gordon.
"You almost caused my daughter's life! If you weren't a bad parent, then none of this would have happened!" Winston growled at Gordon. Gordon ignored Winston and ran to his sons side, and checked on him. Eve quickly ran into the forest and came back with some leaves, but no herbs.
"Get out of here Gordon! You've done enough damage already!" Eve yelled, making Gordon take a step back.
"Because of me! Maybe he shouldn't be such an ass, then I wouldn't be like this to him!" Gordon yelled back as he slapped Humphrey. Kate growled and pounced on Gordon, but her size just caused him to stumble back. Eve stopped what she was doing and pulled Kate away before anything progressed. Winston walked forward and stood between Humphrey and his father.
"Back away, and everything will be alright." Winston warned. Gordon chuckled to himself and slightly shook his head side to side.
"Who do you think you are, telling me what to do and how to treat my kid." Gordon asked, making Winston's eyes narrow.
"What would Krystal think of you when she finds out about what you did to Humphrey?" Winston backfired. Gordon's eyes went wide with shock and then remembered the letter he wrote her, and realized that they were supposed to be back from their 'hike'.
"You wouldn't." Gordon asked, worried of the answer. Eve pulled Kate away from Winston's and Gordon's argument and picked Humphrey on her back, ready to take him back to her den to help him, but felt his weight slid off. Eve turned around and saw Gordon holding his son's scruff of his neck in his jaws. Winston ran to Humphrey's side, and striking Gordon in the abdomen. The force of the blow caused Gordon to gasp in pain, dropping Humphrey from his grasp and Winston caught him. Gordon fell to his side, only a few feet away from the cliff. Winston carefully placed Humphrey on Eve's back, along with Kate.
"Take both of them home. Take care of Humphrey and Kate, I'll be home later." Winston kissed Eve and turned back to Gordon, who was now standing tall and growling. Eve nodded and ran home, making sure the pups she carried didn't fall off. Winston jumped at Gordon, ready to kill if he needed to. Gordon jumped as well, both male wolves clashing in the air, both clawing and howling in pain. They both landed on the ground with a hard thud with Gordon underneath Winston.
"Come on Winston, what are you waiting for? Finish me!" Gordon snarled in Winston's face.
"I'm not that kind of person who would kill someone for abusing their child, but, you are going to suffer." Winston warned. Before Gordon could respond, Winston slapped Gordon on his temple, quickly knocking him out. The small conflict between them left Winston with some minor scratches on his sides and arms, but not life threatening. Winston then remembered that Humphrey and his family were home, so he lifted the father and ran to his den, stopping only once to get some vines from the creek to tie Gordon up. When Winston got home, he was surprised to see Eve still working on Humphrey, and Kate lying next to his body, crying softly in his fur.
"Eve, is he alright?" Winston asked as he dropped Gordon off and began to tie him up.
"Winston, Humphrey is going to be fine, but the fracture in his head. I think something happened and made it worse." Eve explained as she pointed to the back part of his head. Winston looked where she was pointing and saw the skin swelled up along with a purple bruise, practically covering the whole part of the back of his head.
"M-mom, dad... I don't w-want him t-to die." Kate cried, tears soaking Humphrey fur. Eve and Winston walked over to her daughter and both hugged her, pulling her slowly away from his body.
"Kate, he is not going to die. He just needs his rest. Also, when he wakes up, were going to surprise him with his birthday party." Winston informed, getting a questioning look from Eve. Kate sniffed and wiped her tears away and looking at her parents.
"Really?" asked Kate. Winston looked at Eve and received a confirmed nod.
"Yes, and the whole pack will be ther to celebrate." Eve added.
"Except his dad, right?" Kate asked, wanting the answer to be 'no'.
"His dad won't be there, so he won't have any problems. Come on, its getting sort of late, you hungry?" Winston asked once he heard Eve's stomach growl, begging for food.
"Dad, I'm not an alpha, I'm still too young." Kate protested.
"You sure, or are you just wanting to have some 'alone' time with Humphrey?" Winston asked with a sly smile.
"Well..." Kate trailed off, thinking of staying with Humphrey until he wakes up.
"I wouldn't mind, but yes. I want to be with him." Kate answered and laid by him once again. Winston smiled and left the den, saying he should be back in a little bit. Eve nodded and placed some more herbs on Humphrey's head, trying to stop the swelling and bruise. As Eve did this, she noticed Kate rubbing his cheek and humming the same song again.
"Wake up soon, my king."
Sorry, I wrote this on my iPod because i didnt have my computer, and it turned out pretty good. It had some flaws, such as the whole chapter being one paragraph and no individual chapters, all scrunched up together, and some minor spelling mistakes. Please Review, It makes me happy to hear your opinions.
