Chapter 3
Franklin finally got off of the tree and headed back towards camp.
Franklin- "Damn, I must be going insane."
He finally arrived at the campsite and sat down. He looked at his phone and saw that it was at 56% so he turned off the flashlight. Then crawled into his tent.
Franklins POV
It was the crack of dawn and Franklin crawled out of his tent at the smell of frying eggs.
Joseph- "Good morning, how did ya sleep?"
Franklin- "I couldn't sleep at all over your snoring."
Joseph- "Ha, well, I slept like a baby. Oh yeah I called a friend and he's going to be joining us tonight."
Franklin- "Cool, but how did you get any cell reception out here?"
Joseph- "I didn't use my phone."
Then Joseph displayed a I little black block that had an antenna at the top of it.
Franklin- "You have a SAT phone?"
Joseph- "Yep had this life saver for a while now. I take it with me every time I go camping."
Then Franklin remembered something.
Franklin- "I'll be right back..."
Joseph- "Where you going?"
Franklin- "For a walk."
Joseph- "Cool I'll come with."
Franklin- "No, no, no its kinda personal."
He concluded, jogging off.
Joseph- "Personal?"
Franklin finally arrived at the exact spot he was at last night or so he thought.
Franklin- "Okay I'm here."
He said hesitantly. Then he turned around and there she was.
Lilly's POV
Lilly- "Hello."
Franklin- "Umm, hi?"
Lilly- "I didn't think you'd show up."
Franklin- "Yeah me neither. Where's the other one?"
Lilly- "You mean my husband Garth, he's out patrolling, he has patrol duty every morning."
Franklin- "HUSBAND?! But wolves don't marry?"
Lilly- "Why not?"
Franklin- "Because, never mind...do all of you talk?"
Lilly- "Well yeah."
Franklin- "Oh my god I just can't believe I'm talking to a wolf. Why did you come out to me last night?
Lilly- "Because, I find humans interesting the rest of my pack sees your kind as a threat but I see a lighter side."
Franklin- "Wait the rest of your pack? How many of you are there?"
Lilly- "I don't know exactly...a lot I guess, but I have a sister her name is Kate, a mother her name is Eve; don't get on her bad side, and a father his name is Winston."
Franklin- "This is still a lot to take in."
Lilly- "Oh, I'm sorry...do you like turtles?"
Franklin- "Turtles?"
Joseph's POV
Joseph- "Where is that guy he's been gone 10 minutes now."
Joseph said getting into his truck and turning on the radio.
Radio announcer- This is 97.8 KMA bringing you Daft Punks' smash hit Get Lucky...
Joseph- "Aw man I love this song."
Then a black jeep caught Joseph's eye as it was fast approaching through the trail they came into.
Joseph- "There's rick."
The jeep parked along side Joseph's truck and the two got out their vehicles to greet eachother. Rick looked like a mountain man with a shaggy beard and whiskers; he had on a large coat wearing a coon skin hat.
Rick- "Man, you pick this spot every time we go camping."
Joseph- "So. Remember what happened last time we tried camping somewhere different?"
Then Rick closed one eye and cringed to remember what happened.
Rick- "Oh yeah, that. Where's that cousin you told me about?"
Joseph- "I don't know he's been gone damn near 20 minutes now."
Rick- "You think we should go look for him?"
Joseph- "Probably, if he isn't back by noon. He couldn't have went very far. Besides he said it was 'personal'."
Franklin's POV
Franklin- "All that you do are turtles?"
Lilly- "Yep."
Franklin- "Well come here, let me show you something."
Franklin took out a coin.
Franklin- "Pay attention to the coin. Now I'm going to make it disappear."
He started doing tricks with his hands and the coin vanished.
Lilly- "Where did it go?"
Franklin- "I don't know but what's that behind your ear?"
He started to do tricks with his hands then the coin vanished.
Lilly- "How did you do that?"
Franklin- "Magic."
Lilly- "Wow."
Lilly said as her eyes glowed in curiosity.
Lilly- "Well I have to go now, Garth's going to be off duty soon and he'll be looking for me."
Franklin- "Ok, but same time tomorrow right?"
Lilly- "Yes."
