Chapter 3: Cover almost blown
Kate's point of view
After they crashed into the water, we saw four wolf heads surface. Three of them shaking their heads. The other one saw us, his gaze glanced at us and moved away. But then he snapped it back and yelped.
I was worried that he might be in pain so I asked him," are you ok?"
He stared for a little bit, and then he seems to break his trance. "Ya, I'm fine." I blushed a little bit. I saw Lexi smile at Rebecca and Janice. Rebecca spoke up," Kate, let's go swimming too."
"Alright" I replied. Going swimming with a hot guy or going home. I'll take swimming with the hot guy, paws down. We dived into the water and started to swim over to them. All four of them seemed extremely nervous. Maybe females weren't that many in their pack.
"What's your guys names?" I asked. The cutest one got in front of the others.
"Hi, my name is Humphrey. This is Shaky…" the one with gray fur "…Salty…" the one with dark blue fur "… and Mooch." The one also with dark blue fur. He said this will pointing to the correct people.
"And you are?" he asked.
"My name is Kate and this is Lexi, Rebecca, and Janice."
We kinda drifted off to different people at this point. Humphrey and me where now talking to each other in private. Humphrey cocked his head to the side, "where do you girls live".
I pointed toward Blight Mountain at the bottom." At the bottom of blight mountain. You?"
Humphrey smiled and chuckled a bit. "Same place different height."
I took me a little bit to think of what he was saying. I started to get excited at the thought of meeting someone who knew what was up there.
"Really?" I asked "Is it true that wolves are up there with spikes."
Janice laugh, "Kate, you don't really believe those stories, do you?"
Humphrey and his friends just looked shocked. "Putatis quia et ipsi scitis?" asked shaky.
Everyone looked at him funny until mooch answered "Non quin murmurationis."
Humphrey muttered," Nisi non sunt, exterruerat." They all shook their heads at this.
"Ya, aequum." Said Salty
"Will you stop that." I said. Starting to get annoyed that I couldn't understand them. Humphrey gave me a apologizing smile.
"Sorry."
"No problem, just stick to English"
Humphrey's point of view
By the time they got to us we were all frozen with the fear that they would see our spikes. "So what is your names." She asked.
I swam to the front. I got to keep up my looks with the ladies. "My name is Humphrey and this is mooch, Salty, and Shaky. She smiled. That was a really cute smile, like sunshine on…
…Holy Crap Humphrey! What are you thinking! Kate's voice breaks into my thoughts, "…and Janice"
Ok she had said names. Shaky must had known that I had blanked out because when they weren't looking he whispered them into my ear. I notice that we were drifting apart and each with a girl. I blushed; I was kind of excited to be swimming with a beautiful girl.
She watched me and I thought she expected me to say something. Come on Humphrey say something. "So where do you girls live?" I asked. Stupid, stupid, stupid. But apparently it wasn't stupid to her.
She answered "At the bottom of Blight Mountain. You?"
I answered "Same place different height." She got really excited about that.
"Really, is it true that there are really wolves with spikes up there?"
I can say, with all honesty, that I didn't expect that one coming, I was speechless.
Janice laugh, "Kate, you don't really believe those stories, do you?"
Then Shaky's voice brought me to reality, "Do you think they know?"
The girls looked at him when he said this because he spoke the Latin which is the royal secret language. Mooch replied, "No, they would be running and screaming."
"Unless they aren't scared", I said quietly.
We all rolled our eyes, "Ya, right"
"Will you stop that?" asked Kate. I could hear the stress in her voice. Probably from not being able to understand what we are saying.
I gave her my best apology smile I could, "Sorry"
"No problem" she said "just stick to English."
I caught a glance at the grey one, Lexi, staring at Mooch in shock. Mooch had risen out of the water far enough to show spikes while talking to Janice.
"Oh, crap. Games up" I thought.
