Only New Life, Can Defeat Death

Hey, bad news guys, my computer got viruses so I won't be able to update often. It won't let me open any program, so I can't type. Right now I'm using my sisters' computer to post another chapter, please understand and enjoy the update.

Humphrey was by the fallen tree asleep, but he started to squirm around. He was feeling pain return to him in his back, and it was bothering him like an itch. He started to kick his feet, and then he rolled on his back, squirming, trying to get rid of the itch. The only ting is, he was rubbing away the letter
Winston wrote to him. Humphrey woke up when he felt the itch go away, and noticed a good sized piece of caribou next to him.

Usually, he would eat it, but something was odd about it, he figured that Eve was behind it all. He sniffed the meat, but found it was clearly fine, and that the only thing was bad was a few teeth marks on it.

"Someone must have given it to me." Humphrey thought to himself, so he left it alone but once he felt his stomach growl, he had a decision to make.

"Should I eat it, or find my own food?" Humphrey asked out loud. He sat in front of it, thinking of taking a chance, but his thinking was distracted when he heard laughter behind him. Hr decided to leave the meat alone, and follow the laughter, wondering who it might be.

Humphrey left his spot and entered the forest, traveling deeper and the sound of laughter was growing louder with every step he took.

"Janice, stop it!" a female shouted behind a bush where Humphrey was at. Humphrey peeked slightly out of the bush, spying on two female pups throwing berries at each other.

"You're the one who started the food fight Reba!" Janice laughed as she tossed a paw full of berries at Reba. Reba laughed when the berries hit her fur and the blue juiced splattered her. Humphrey was watching the two play, but Janice stopped when she noticed a wolf spying on them.

"Hey, who are you?" Janice asked as she looked at Humphrey hiding in the bushes. Humphrey knew he was caught so he stepped out of his hiding spot with his head lowered. Reba watched as an unknown wolf exited the bushes.

"Sorry, I heard laughter and I wanted to see who it was. I didn't mean to spy on you guys." Humphrey apologized with his ears drooping with sadness. Reba heard sadness in his voice and tossed a couple of berries at hit, hitting his shoulder. Humphrey looked at where the berries where possibly were thrown and saw Reba smiling.

"It's alright, want to join us?" Reba asked, hoping he would say 'yes'.

"Um, I'm not sure. I don't even know what you're doing." Humphrey answered.

"Were just throwing berries at each other. It fun, come on, join us." Janice begged.

"Well, I could, but I don't want to intrude your guys' fun." Humphrey responded as he turned around.

"Wait, what's your name?" Reba asked, trying to stall him. Humphrey stopped and turned around to face the girls.

"Humphrey, my names Humphrey."

"Well, Humphrey, Im Janice, and this is Reba, my friend." Janice introduced and walked up to him.

"Come on, play with us. Please?" Janice begged with a puppy look on her face.

"I guess I can play." Humphrey accepted, making Janice smile.

"Okay, so what we do is just throw berries at each other. No point system, no winning, no losing. It free-for-all, so no one is on your team. Come on, let's go pick some berries." Reba explained as she walked with Humphrey and Janice to some berry bushes. They reached the bushes and started to pick some.

"Here, you hold some and…" Janice stopped what she was saying when she saw his face. She dropped the berries and Reba looked at what she was looking at.

"Humphrey, are you oaky?" Reba asked, making Humphrey look down and he began to tear up.

"It… It's nothing. I just scr-scratched myself on a tree." Humphrey lied as he felt the tears fall down his face.

"Humphrey, you should go to Eve, she's the nurse of the pack." Reba informed. Humphrey turned around and walked away.

"Thank you for letting me play, but I need to go." Humphrey ran out of sight, leaving Reba and Janice with worried looks on their faces. Humphrey ran deeper in the forest, not really knowing where he was going since he's never been out. Humphrey eventually stopped running and found himself near the feeding grounds.

He looked around and saw some pups playing around, but they stopped when they noticed him. Humphrey felt that everyone was talking about him, and felt that he was a freak. He turned and walked away, leaving the pups to continue on with their playing. As he was walking he found a creek near by and he decided to wash up.

He jumped in the cool refreshing water and felt his body relax. His paws were slightly acing from the rough terrain of the territory, but felt good when he placed them at the bottom of the water, feeling the sandy bottom and mud like dirt on his paws.

"So who are you taking to the Moonlight Howl tonight?" Humphrey heard a male wolf ask. Humphrey lifted his head and looked down the creek, but didn't see anybody, so he looked up the creek and saw two wolves washing them selves and drinking water.

"I don't know, I was planning on taking Veronica, but she seems pretty busy. She's beautiful and all, but she doesn't seem like she has time." The other male answered.

"Well, okay let's have some fun." The other male said with a grin.

"What are you talking about Ron?" the male asked.

"I dare you, Zak, to ask Eve to the Moonlight Howl." Ron dared as he tried to hold in his laughter. Zak looked at Ron with fear in his eyes.

"I can't do that! She's with Winston, and if I do that then I'll be in one hell of in trouble." Zak responded.

"Hey, it's a dare, and plus, most likely she'll say no." Ron assured. Zak sat and thought about it.

"What if she says yes?" The male wolves were quiet.

"Well then, you got yourself a date!" Ron laughed. Zak couldn't help but laugh as well.

"That will be one hell of a date. I mean, imagine howling, and then she tears you apart because you sounded a bit behind." Zak joked. They both began to laugh at the joke, and Humphrey couldn't help but to think of Kate.

"Maybe I should ask her to the Moonlight Howl." Humphrey thought to himself.

"Wait, but her mom doesn't want me to be around her anymore. What if, I could try and get her attention and then I'll ask her? Yeah, I'll do that." Humphrey decided in his head and left to the feeding grounds. He stepped out the creek and shook his fur free from the water.

As he was heading, he noticed Reba and Janice walking around, and it seemed that they were looking for something. Humphrey decided to walk around them to avoid any conversation and continued on with finding Kate. When Humphrey reached the feeding Grounds, he looked around and saw a den that stood out from most of them and figured that it was Kats home.

At first, Humphrey thought of a direct approach, but knew that if Eve was there, he wouldn't make it back alive from what the two guys were saying at the creek earlier. He decided to wait at the border of the feeding grounds with trees beside him.

(4 Hours Later)

Humphrey has been waiting at the tree line for 4 hours, and his stomach was begging for food. He was keeping his eyes on Kate's den, but all he saw was Eve leaving and Winston leaving, coming back and leaving again. He was going to try to sneak to the den when Eve left, but every time he would try, Eve returned and he couldn't make it.

Just when Humphrey was about to give up, he saw Kate leave the den with her mom. His heart began to beat faster when he saw her tan fur and was about to run up to her, but stopped when he saw her meet another wolf, and saw that it was a male. His heart began to drop when he saw her hug him and saw them laugh together.

"She… she found someone… else?" Humphrey asked out loud. He felt tears welling up in his eyes and he turned his back, leaving the scene that was unfolded to him. He walked back into the woods, ignoring every sound his stomach made. He walked with his ears dropped, his head hung low, and his heart empty.

"How could she forget me?" Humphrey asked himself as he continued to walk aimlessly in the forest. He sat down and wiped his tears away, trying to put it behind him.

"Humphrey?" a voice called out, making Humphrey perks his ears up. He turned around and saw Reba standing beside a tree with a worried look.

"H-hi Reba. What are you doing here?" Humphrey asked.

"Well, I was looking for you and, I wanted to know if you're alright?" Reba asked as she sat in front of him.

"Yeah, im fine. Just a little… sore." Humphrey answered. Reba knew he was lying and wanted to know the truth.

"Humphrey, what's really the problem? I want to help." Reba persisted.

"I like this one girl, but she found someone else." Humphrey explained.

"Humphrey, it's alright. Your too good for her and let me tell you what. If I were you, I wouldn't dwell over that big of a deal. Oh and that also reminds me." Reba started as she looked away and blushed.

"What is it?" Humphrey asked, slightly cheered up.

"Well, there the Moonlight Howl and I were wondering if… if…" Reba was blushing even more.

"If what?" Humphrey asked.

"If you wanted to be my date." Reba asked, hoping he would say 'yes'. Humphrey smiled at her.

"Yes, I would be honored to be your date." Humphrey accepted, making Reba squeal with joy.

"Oh my god, thank you so much!" Reba thanked as she hugged him tightly. Humphrey held in the pain from his back, and hugged her back. Reba let go and started to walk away.

"Meet me here in about a couple of hours." Reba called back as she disappeared into the forest. Humphrey had a weak smile on and he looked up into the sky to see it was a little past noon.

"Well, now I just to see what I'm going to eat." Humphrey asked out loud as he walked away and started to scavenge for anything that seemed editable.

(Winston's Den)

Kate was crying her eyes out ever since her mom made Humphrey run away.

"Kate, forget about him, you need to be strong and realize that you can do better than him." Eve comforted her daughter.

"WHY!" Kate screamed at her mom.

"I loved him and he loved me, and you drove him out!" Kate wailed. Eve sighed and turn to see Winston there, seeing that he was clearly upset.

"The Moonlight Howl is tonight, and you forced Kate to go with Philip. Great, next thing I know is that someone is going to ask you." Winston grunted, and is if on cue, Zak walked in.

"Um… Eve… could I talk with you for a moment?" Zak asked as he was shaking.

"What is it Zak?" Eve asked as she sat in front of him.

"Would you go to the Moonlight Howl with me?" he asked with a weak smile.
