Only New Life, Can Defeat Death

Go ahead and cuss me out, write hateful REVIEWS, or anything you want, but it's just who I am. Sorry I haven't updated in a month or so, but school is coming to an end so expect more updates on ALL my stories. Does anybody know why Eve thought, "Only 3 more months."? If you know then good for you, but for those who don't….. Ask someone who does because I'm not telling you. With that out of the way, lets continue on.

Humphrey sat with his ears flat against his head and his head low so he wouldn't have to meet Winston's or Kate's eyes. He could feel Kate's amber eyes, like a burning sensation in his head, staring at him. Eve was blushing slightly and turned her head away, embarrassed.

"Listen, I'll act like I didn't hear that and continue on what I was going to say." Winston broke the silence as he looked at Humphrey and then to his wife.

"Have any of you seen Phillip? I need to talk to him." Winston asked as he looked at his daughter and Humphrey for an answer.

"We did see him run off somewhere, but he said he was going to the bathroom, said he ate too much fruit." Kate replied as she didn't stop staring at Humphrey. She was staring at him because she was ashamed he would be watching her mom wash herself.

"Which way was he going?" Winston asked anxiety in his voice and him standing up to run after.

"He went that way, but I'm not sure how far, just in that general direction." Kate answered as she looked to her left and pointed out towards the stream that divided the Western and Eastern Packs. Winston nodded and shot off towards where Phillip was, determined to find him.

Kate, Humphrey, and Eve watched as Winston sprinted off, seeing him jump over fallen trees and bushes. Soon, the three of them saw a group of wolves cross paths of Winston and seeing him stop and talk with the wolves.

"Stay here or head to our den. I have to help your dad." Eve ran towards where wolves were talking amongst themselves. Humphrey looked up and saw Eve leave, then turning to look to his side and seeing Kate still staring at him. Without saying anything, he stood up and began walking away, ashamed of what happened not even 10 minutes ago.

"Humphrey…"

"Kate, please don't. I-I need time… alone." Humphrey interrupted as he continued to walk aimlessly away without looking back at Kate. Kate stood up and started to follow him, seeing his tail drag across the ground and his paws barely being lifted up above the ground.

"Don't do it, just… don't." Humphrey sighed as he continued to walk away from Kate. Kate was getting aggravated by his actions, especially when she's being shunned out or being ignored. That's when she ran in front of him and stopped him in his tracks.

"Humphrey, why are you pushing me away? What did I do wrong?" Kate asked.

"You didn't do anything wrong, it is what I did that was wrong. I need to think as to why I did such a thing." Humphrey replied his head still lowered towards the ground. He looked up and saw Kate sitting there with him, not moving or even budging.

"I'm not going to let you go anywhere unless you tell me." Kate persisted. Humphrey let out a defeated sigh and laid down in front of her, and rolling over onto his back.

"Please?" Humphrey pleaded as he put on a puppy face and flattened his ears. Kate smiled and licked him across the cheek, making him chuckle at the tingling feeling. She lowered her mouth to his ear and lay down beside him; breathing in his ear and making it twitch from the feeling.

"No." was the calm and serious tone from Kate. Humphrey sighed and laid on his side, facing away from Kate.

"Have you ever wanted to do something, but, never been able to do so?" Humphrey asked, still facing away from her. Kate scooted over to him, laying her head across his neck and being careful with his wounds.

"No, not really. Why? What's wrong Humphrey?" Humphrey took in a deep intake of air, calming himself down and relaxing, feeling the coolness of the dirt beneath his fur coat.

"I just… don't really wanna talk about it." He responded, shifting under her head to be a little more comfortable. Kate lifted herself off his neck and walked in front of him, seeing him look distant and not even looking at her.

"Come on, let's forget about it. Why not go and enjoy ourselves." Kate insisted as she lightly nipped his ear, making him chuckle and nip her back, surprising her. The two were nipping one another, making the other giggle and pursue on with the action. Humphrey nipped Kate's nose, making her shake her head side to side and he licked her cheek before trying to cover most of his face with his paws, his muffled chuckling being heard from behind.

Kate tried to nip him back, but couldn't get an area, so she looked at his body, seeing the cuts and patches of leaves over his body. She wanted to tickle him, but knew it would hurt him even more if he moved the wrong way, especially in his condition. Then, she got an idea once she saw his tail wagging happily in the dirt. Kate stood up and turned around, and lowered her tail. She lightly tapped his paws, making him chuckle even more at her action, but not knowing what she was doing.

"Na uh, I ain't going to look." Humphrey chuckled as he continued to cover his face. Kate swirled her tail, making the thin hairs reach in the small cracks of his paws and tickling his nose. Soon enough, he removed his paws and sneezed, making him whimper in pain and his breathing being left in short wheezes. Kate jumped in the air from the sudden sneeze she felt on her tail, but immediately felt bad once she heard the pain filled whimper from her beloved wolf. She shot around, seeing Humphrey's eyes closed tight and his teeth barely showing.

"O-ow." Came the raspy and pained voice from Humphrey. He rolled to his stomach and stood up, not even bothering to shake his fur loose from of the dirt. He stood up, trying to not breathe in sudden intakes of air as to not make his body hurt even more.

"Humphrey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Kate apologized as she nuzzled his cheek lovingly. He wheezed a little, getting the sudden beat of pain that ran through his body out in a breath, his body now relaxing.

"It's okay Kate. Let's just… go to your den and wait for your parents." Humphrey suggested. Kate nodded and turned her body so Humphrey was able to lean against hers if he needed to, but it more of Kate leaning onto him.

(10 Minutes Later)

After the long, agonizing, 10 minute walk to Kate's den in silence, they finally made it. Humphrey continued to walk with a slight limp, but put the pain aside and laid in the back of the den, letting his body slowly slump onto the dens floor and resting his head on the slight increase of the dens ground, making it a good size pillow. Kate laid in front of him, facing his body and staring into his eyes, seeing all the love and care he has being unfolded in just the two sets of blue orbs the omega possessed.

Humphrey smiled and grabbed her paws in his, bringing them up and kissing them lightly, making Kate blush lightly at how gentle he was with her.

"Humphrey, do you remember when I asked you…"

"What if we get married?" Humphrey interrupted, making Kate look down slightly in embarrassment.

"Y-yeah. What were you going to say?" Kate asked, looking up and seeing Humphrey turn his head away.

"I… I honestly don't know Kate. I mean, were still young, we can't be planning on our future just yet. We got to live the most we can while were young so that when were older, we have the memories of good times to pass around." Humphrey explained, but saw the distant and confused look on Kate, telling her that she didn't understand. Humphrey let out a soft sigh, biting his lower lip and rubbing her cheek carefully, making her smile.

"We can't be in a rush. Good things come to those who wait." Humphrey explained as he lowered his paw and yawned, feeling the tiredness kicking in.

"Go to sleep Humphrey, you need the rest, as so do I after what happened at the sleep over and what happened to you." Kate said with sorrow filling her voice as she recalled the blood he loss and how he screamed in pain when her dad tried to bring him into the den. Now that she's remembering everything, she looked at the ground and still saw patched of crimson stained dirt where Humphrey's body used to lay. She shook her head of the images, and focused on Humphrey, seeing his eyes droop and finally closing. Kate smile and yawned, feeling tiredness taking over her. She laid her head next to Humphrey's, feeling his soft breathing on her lips. She couldn't help but intertwine her tail with his. His tail fur was stringy and had patches sticking together from the blood that had dried, but wasn't enough to make Kate scoot away. She scooted closer to him, her pelt softly pressing against his, and matching each other's heart beats, and finally, drifting off to sleep, not expecting on what will happen when they wake up.

Well, I guess it's safe to call it a chapter there. I say I'm getting back to my usual routine, but it still doesn't let me off the hook of not updating in such a long time. A month? Maybe more? Actually, yeah, more than a month. But be on the lookout after 2 weeks, because I will be updating almost every day. Hopefully, I can get back into my original routine. I blame myself for the hatred you guys out there have for me, making you wait so long. Especially Smile for an Omega. I didn't respond to any of his PM's he sent me, and I can see that he was clearly worried for my disappearance. I'm sorry for making you worry for my absence, but now I'm back, and hopefully this dumb B I T C H that ruined my life will go to hell and rot for all I care, I just hope to be there to see it being done. Well, same news as before, my ear still does spontaneous bleed and my hand is getting better. My muscle spasm in my neck went away 2 days ago, but I still can't function my neck correctly. Also, I cussed her out by texting her, and I was laughing my A S S off big time. The first response I got was, "What is the meaning of this? Who is this?" I didn't respond until yesterday, cussing her out and telling how I truly felt, and she told me that she was going to talk to me face to face. Well, guess what happened today? NOTHING! She didn't even do anything to confront me. If it was that important that she would have told all my friends to tell me that she needed to talk to me, why didn't she do it herself? She knows where I'm always at, but I guess that it wasn't that important… just like everything that she does. If you want to know EXACTLY what I texted her and her responses were, tell me in a PM, because I won't say out to the world, except this way. I learned from two authors fighting over the internet and billions of people reading their argument and seeing how childish they acted, well, not Alexthehecticmaggot666 or however you spell his name. But the other author is just wanting someone to be kicked off, but let's not restart that again. If you want to know what I said to her and what she said back, ask in a PM, and I'll be glad to tell you everything. Peace.
