Chapter 9: selfish selfish selfish.

Humphrey's POV

Humphrey felt pain course through his body everytime his heart beat which was racing. He tried to move but the pain was to great so he stayed were he was, laying on a stone cold floor in a dark room. He heard someone walk in their footsteps echoeing across the room. Humphrey saw a golden brown wolf come walking through and started towards the other exit.

"h-e-l-p." Humphrey choked out pain coursing through him when he spoke.

The wolf stopped and turned around.

"He-lp." Humphrey said again pain coursing through him again.

His body was burning with the pain.

"Humphrey!" Kate yelped running towards him.

She slid next to him and kneeled next to him.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Kate asked worry was genuine in her voice.

Humphrey tried to say something but couldn't find his voice.

"Whe-res L-illy?" Was all he could manage right now.

Kate yelled for help and gently picked Humphrye up and put him on her back. Humphrey yelped in pain. Kate walked out of the cave and started through the forest. Humphrey couldn't hear anything and his vision was blurred from all the pain. His vision slowly faded into darkness and he put his head dow and closed his eyes.

Lilly's POV

Lilly was laying in her den thinking of what Humphrey said to her when Garth walked in. He walked to Lilly and sat next to her.

"You alright?" He asked trying to cheer her up.

"No. I am not alright. I want Humphrey back." Lilly said looking away from Garth.

She heard Garth try to put is paw on her arm but she pushed him away. Garth understood and got up and walked out the den leaving her alone.

Lilly thought of all the fun things Humphrey and her did together and the nights they spent watching the stars and the log sledding. She cried to want those things to come back. For Humphrey to come back.

"You know what. He might still have feelings but just wanted a little time away to maybe think about everything." Lilly said to herself.

She could barely believe it herself. So she layed there and cried. She heard Kate's howl come through the forest, a howl of trouble.

Lilly got up and raced out the den searching for Kate. She saw she wasn't the only one she saw her mom and dad running beside her and Garth and Tony were behind them. When they got to the place Kate was they saw she was carrying Humphrey. They saw Humphrey look up and then his head fell. Kate put him down and tried waking him up. Eve emediately kicked into healer mode and began tending the wounds. Lilly looked at everyone's worried faces then her eyes fell on Garth who had a smirk on his face. He saw her looking at him and dropped the smile. Lilly turned back to Humphrey and Eve.

"Is he going to be ok?" Lilly asked worried.

"I don't know Lilly. I don't know." Eve answered.

Lilly saw Humphrey flinch and his mouth opened. Lilly guessed he spoke but could hear. Eve put her ear next to his mouth and listened. Everyone was quiet.

Eve looked at Kate then Lilly.

"He said he's sorry to both of you." Eve said.

Lilly ran up to Humphrey and kneeled beside him. Lilly tried hugging him but he yelped in pain so Lilly didn't hug him. Tony gently pushed Lilly away and picked Humphrey up and set him on his back. He cried out but otherwise didnt move. Together they all walked back home. Eve, Tony, and Winston went into the healers den and Garth went back home. Lilly and Kate where left in the den.

They stood away from eachother in silence. Finally Kate decided to break it.

"Lilly i'm sorry for what happened between you and Humphrey. It was a selfish mistake and I feel bad for it." Kate said all at once.

Lilly was shocked. She looked at Kate.

"What do you mean?" Lilly asked.

"I took fur from Humphrey and had some guy transform into Humphrey to break up with you so I can get him cause I love him so much. Then I must've broke Humphrey's heart and he beat himself up for it. Then i put you through what i've been through. It was all a terrible mistake and I am truly sorry for it. Will you forgive me?" Kate asked looking near crying.

"Why would you do such a thing to your own sister Kate?" Lilly asked stunned.

"I don't know Lilly. I was so selfish and now I will pay for it. I'm so sorry." Kate said crying.

Lilly was never the violent type but she smacked Kate across her face.

"I CAN'T BELEIVE YOU DID THAT!" Lilly yelled before storming out the den and into the healer den.

Kate was left back in the den crying and sorry for what she did to Humphrey and Lilly.
