Ice's p.o.v (Flashback)
"The names Humphrey" he said as he let go of my paw.
"Cool anyway where am I?" I asked
"Well, you see that's the thing I don't know either" he answered.
"what do you mean" I questioned.
"Well, I kinda ran away from my old pack because the wolf I was in love with was an alpha. So I couldn't have her as a mate then I discovered that she was getting married." He answered with a frown.
"Oh, well I would have ran away to, but what do we do now?" I asked looking at the dark clouds above.
"Find shelter I guess" then lightning struck and thunder cracked.
"And I'd say soon before this storm really hits!" I said as I ran ahead of him. He eventually caught up, then we started our search for shelter...
Humphrey's p.o.v (present day)
"Ok so you were running in the woods to find shelter from the storm, but what happens next?" Garth asked me.
"well...
Flashback 1 year...
I was sprinting through the woods beside Ice, but we were starting to lose our breath "let's rest... A sec" I said sitting under a branch when a lightning bolt hit it causing it to fall towards me.
"Look out!" Ice yelled as he shoved me out of the way.
"Thanks" I said thankful that he'd saved me.
"hey what are friends for, Hey look a cave" he said pointing with his forepaw.
"Cool, we'll rest there I guess..." I said as I walked into the cave with Ice beside me...
The next day...
I woke up the next morning with the sound of grunting. I opened my eyes to see Ice doing tree squats. "Ice what are you doing?" I asked walking up to him.
"Well if we're going to survive we'll have to work to do it." He said dropping the log off his back then laying down on his stomach with his tongue hanging out.
I chuckled and said "haha ok, well I'd say we should start with our speed then our muscle, ok, I'm going to find a river or a stream we can swim against." I suggested while walking away.
"Oh, ok... I'll be with you in a... Sec..." he said as he got into a sitting position.
After about ten minutes I came across a river that wasn't to fast or to slow "perfect" I said as I walked toward it, I felt like I was being watched, I just shrugged it off. When I got to the river I decided to take a drink, when I put my muzzle in the water someone shoved me in! When I came up Ice was on his back laughing. I got out with an evil smile on my face. I grabbed him by the tale.
"Yeeeow!" He said a I bit down on it.
I then dragged him to the river and tossed him in, now it was my turn to laugh. When he resurfaced he walked over got on his back legs and rung out his tale over my head soaking me.
"Ok now we're even, so let's actually start training?" He asked sitting down in front of me.
"Alright alright haha," I said getting off the ground...
2 hours later...
Ice and I had swam against the river for half an hour, did forty tree squats each, and now we're just relaxing in the sun.
"So Ice what's your story?" I asked, he started to frown then told me his tale...
"Well I'd grown up in the Northern pack way up north in the mountains explaining my fur color. Anyway, one day when I and my sister Molly were having a snowball fight, humans came to our territory with those sticks that they call guns. I smelled their sent, then told Molly to go home while I led them away. They followed me for about ten minutes before they gave up, I looped back around to see if Molly made it home. I saw her knocked out in the arms of one of those humans! I ran full speed tackling him to the ground, Molly went flying. I ran and caught her, then sprinted to hide her until they'd left, I hid her in a log then distracted the humans away from her again. Sadly I was hit in the neck by this red pointy thing, I felt dizzy and then every thing went black. After that I woke up and here I am" I explained.
"so you were tranquillized?" He questioned.
"Yes" I answered.
"well actually Kate the wolf I loved and I were tranquillized and wound up in sawtooth natural park, where we were supposed to "repopulate...
2 weeks later...
Ice's p.o.v (Flashback)
Humphrey and I are like best friends now and we'd gotten a lot of muscle on us in the past two weeks since we've met, we were going to hunt our first caribou today and we can't wait! We've mostly been eating rabbits and squirrels the past week or so, and now it's time for some bigger game. Humphrey and I where stalking a lone caribou in the bushes. We were on opposite sides of him, now we wait. Soon the caribou raised it's neck a perfect time to strike! I leaped from the brushes as did Humphrey. I landed on its back why'll Humphrey ripped the throat out in mid air. It then collapsed from ether blood loss or chocking on its own blood. We simply looked at the caribou then to each other and smiled. Once we'd drug it back to our cave I made a room so we could store the left overs for later. After our breakfast, it was back to more training...
2 months later...
Humphrey and I have gotten a lot of muscle and are a lot faster to. We'd been looking for a caribou for the past hour or so now, but we couldn't find one.
"Aw man where are all the caribou?" Humphrey asked as we were walking on the east side of our little valley.
"I don't know Humphrey, do I look like a caribou to you?" I asked sarcastically.
he then put on a goofy smile and started drooling "Yes! Your a huge tasty caribou!" he then tackled me and we started rolling down the hill beside us. When we hit the bottom we were both on our backs laughing.
"Haha! Now that was-" I was cutoff when we felt a rumble like an earthquake shaking the ground. We turned around and saw hundreds of caribou running full speed toward us!
"Shit!" we said as we jumped up and ran for our lives.
"Hey! You said you wanted caribou Humphrey! Well here you go!" I said with a smile while running as fast as I could trying not to get crushed by the hundreds of hooves behind us.
"Oh shut up and run!...
1 month later...
Today we're taking a little brake and relaxing this week, Humphrey and I are just laying in our cave messing around.
"Hey Ice watch this!" Humphrey said as he toke a berry, tossed it in the air and caught it in his mouth.
"Nice, but watch this!" I said as I juggled three berries tossed them in the air and caught them one by one in my mouth.
Humphrey clapped and said "very nice" then rain started to pore.
"Alright now try and beat this!" he said as he juggled five berries caught them on his nose balanced them, then tossed them in the air and caught them in his mouth.
I clapped and said "I can't beat that, you win!"
"why thank you sir" he said taking a bow.
We laughed, I stopped when I caught the smell of a grizzly and close by.
"Ice what's wrong?" He asked
"Shhh... There's a grizzly outside" I whispered while putting my paw over his muzzle...
Humphrey's p.o.v (Flashback)
Ice just said he'd smelled the sent of a grizzly, but I didn't smell anything.
I toke his paw off my mouth and said "Ice I don't smell a grizzly, you nose must be-" I stopped talking when a seven foot tall grizzly with three inch long claws and razor sharp teeth walks in and roars in our faces "oh poo...
Ice's p.o.v (Flashback)
"Believe me now?" I said a little angry that he didn't believe me.
"Yeah I take back what I said!" Humphrey said as we were being pushed farther and farther back into the cave.
I saw a small opening in the left side of the cave the gestured it to Humphrey. He nodded understanding this is our only way out. We ran full speed through the hole, to small for the bear to follow or so we thought, until the bear simply burst through it! We were running full speed through the woods to try and escape, sadly it was pointless. We were eventually trapped between a cliff and the bear, the storm still hitting hard, the only time you could see is when lightning flashed in the dark cloud covered sky above us. We stopped about two feet away from the fifty foot drop of the cliff, we heard the bear let out a fearsome roar. We turned where we were met face to face with this large bear.
"W-what do we do?" I asked Humphrey as we backed closer and closer to the cliff.
"I don't know!" he said as the bear raised its large arm in the air and struck toward Humphrey!...
Humphrey's p.o.v (Flashback)
I saw the bear strike with it's razor sharp three inch claws, but it didn't hit me? When I opened my eyes I saw Ice hit the ground with three bloody slashes in his right side.
"Ice!" I yelled as I picked him up and was about to go to the left opening, when the bear charged sending all of us off the cliff! When I hit the water I swam to the surface, but couldn't find Ice anywhere. I looked over and saw the bear get out of the lake we'd fallen in, I swam to shore and started looking for Ice...
2 hours later...
I'be been searching for Ice now for at least two hours or so and still no sign... I've lost my best friend... And I want revenge!
1 week later...
I'd been tracking this bear for a week now, and I'm going to kill it or die trying! I'm following bear tracks that are at least an hour old, then I picked up it's sent. I was walking down a hill which led to a huge cave, and in side the beast I'm looking for. I slowly approached the cave, then I peaked inside to see it dinning on a moose. I slowly entered the cave trying not to cause any noise, then I stepped on a discarded caribou rib cage making a cracking sound.
"Damn it." I said under my breath as the bear turned around and roared.
"come at me you stupid freaking teddy bear!" I yelled as it charged toward me with great speed.
I did a front flip over it's head, it rammed in to the wall causing the stalactites to fall. I ran out of the cave and heard the bear roar, but it was cut off when a stalactite when through its back breaking it's spine killing it... My revenge was complete...
Ice's p.o.v (Flashback)
When I awoke, my fur was covered in dried mud, I had been out a week unknowing to me. Then I opened my eyes to find my world had turned dark and cold... I was blind...
End of Flashback...
"So that's how you and Humphrey met, and also how you became blind." Lilly said with sadness in her tone.
"Yeah, but you know I don't care, I wanted to save my friends life and I payed the price for it. And I'd do it again to save him, or anyone for that matter...
