A Wolf's Worst Creation (3)
"I hope Aaron is okay." Stacy said as she was walking with Kate and Lilly.
"I'm sure he's fine. He's immortal." Lilly said.
"He's not immortal!" Kate said as she pinched her nose bridge. "He says that to feel important."
"He's immortal and I can prove it!" Stacy exclaimed. "You don't decide my brother's life!" Naturally, Lilly was scared at this outburst. As they were walking, Lilly whispered to her sister.
"Kate?"
"Yeah?"
"How come Stacy is acting like this?"
"I don't know. I guess she's protective of her brother." Kate shrugged. They made their way through the forest where they saw Humphrey and Garth joking about something.
"Guys, do you know if Aaron's okay?" Stacy asked worriedly. They turned to her direction.
"Aaron? I don't know." Humphrey said.
"Yeah, last time I saw him was at his den holding that cup of Humphrey's…"
"Don't… even!" Humphrey interrupted.
"Fine. But still, we should check his den to see if he's, ya know, alive." And they did. When they got up to the den, they saw Aaron come out with oil stains and looking sleep deprived. Of course, they went up to him.
"Aaron!" Stacy exclaimed as she ran up to him and gave him a big bear hug. "Tell Kate you're immortal. Tell her!" He gave her a confused look.
"S-Stacy? There's plenty of time to tell her. Right now, I have something to show you Humphrey." He motioned for them to follow. Garth, Kate, Lilly, and Stacy stood aside as Aaron and Humphrey went up to a table where they saw a blanket covering something.
"Humphrey, I present to you your twin!" As he said that he pulled off the blanket to reveal a second Humphrey. The rest gasped in awe while Humphrey stood there smiling.
"This is amazing!" Humphrey exclaimed. "Yeah, sure it has some revealing stitches in multiple places, but it's pretty great. One of your best works." Aaron chuckled at the comment.
"Don't compliment me just yet. Wait 'till you see this!" He pulled out a remote and pressed a button. Electricity flew and Humphrey 2 started up.
"Whoa!" Garth said clearly amazed. The machine wolf got up the table and went to Humphrey. It spoke with a deep lisp.
"Salutations, my fellow wolf. I am Humphrey and I am here to serve you." He bowed down to him.
"I love it when I'm praised…" Humphrey said joyfully.
"He's programmed to fight anyone who hurts anyone of us." Aaron said.
"This is cool." Lilly said. "How did you make him?"
"I am not made from this wolf but from others."
"You mean Aaron took other wolf's limbs?"
"Sadly, yes. I'm afraid that it is my lot to be built from so many loved ones..." He said on the verge of tears.
"Loved one's?" Aaron asked then chuckled. "Those people didn't exactly volunteer their parts, ya know?"
"You mean you murdered what was left of my family?" The creature yelled as it ripped Aaron's head clean off his body. The others gasped in horror until Aaron spoke.
"You are really something…"
"How are you still alive?" Kate exclaimed.
"I told you, I'm immortal!" The creature then threw his head aside and spoke in Latin then left.
"What did he say?" Lilly asked.
"I don't know. But I'm not going to wait." Garth said.
