Chapter 6
As the day pressed on and Flora slept in her cave Humphrey and a few alphas were planning an attack on her and Winston. A scout wolf had sighted here dozing off in the cave that the original menace had stayed in at one point. Though he had made too much noise they were sure that this version of the creature wasnt smart enough to realise who it was that was in the brush and wasnt smart enough to not let her guard down. Winston, though he had not been seen any the night before, Humphrey was sure that he had some hand in the attack the night before. Attacking everyone knew was risky to say the least but no one really cared becuase losing one and taking that abonination of nature was better than not doing anything and losing more wolves every night. Kate came in after hunting some caribou for the meeting she had the breast of one of the large animals enough to feed the whole groupo 10 times over. Kate wanted to talk to Humphrey about the plan and he followed here out of the den and into private. "Look'' she said "Im not sure this attack of yours is the best idea out there we could ambush them in the dens and make quick work of them and kill them alot quicker." Humphrey thought about this for a second and though that was a great idea he made it plan "B" in his thoughts and told her "thats a great idea and very strategic but what if they trap alot of us in a den at once we may not be able to do much in that situation Kate." She simply chuckeld at his respones and said " if that thing got us in a posistion like that it would be its mistake remember we would outnumber it and we could also simply gang up on it and take it down." "What if your father is with it tonight?" Humphrey asked looking at here with a questioning look and he noticed her expression darken and immeidiatly regretted asking she simplt responded "well if that happens he will go down with it."
It was late afternoon and a lone wolf from the eastern pack wovles was jsut wandering around the westeren terriotories not knowing of the dangers that lay within the area. She heard a rustling noise and pricked up her ears but it just as quickly went away and she simply shrugged it off. Then again she heard the noise but it was closer and then she heard breathing. She only had time to scream then in a single swoop she was dead abd Flora knew it no way anything couldve survived having their throat torn out taking most of the windpipe and some of the lung with it. "How delicious" Flora thought sarcasticaly in real life reasy to spill her guts at the sight but she kept it down. She expected many more sights such as this.
Humphrey was prepping with a small group of alphas when a scream rang out from the nearby woods "fuck" he thpught to himself then said aloud "again!? does this damn thing never take a break!?" he and a couple others went to go investigate. It took only a few minutes to get to the location of the scream and when they got there all they saw was a dead wolf obviously female she had her fur in a pretty stlye and her throat along with the windpipe and parts of a lung were seperated from the body and discarded on the gorund blood was surrounding her body. Humpherey felt a severe wave of nausea come over him but he shved it down. He looked at the body a bit more closely and noticed that this wolf wasnt from the westeren pack he didnt recognize her and he realized something she could only be an eastern pack wolf who had lost her way or exploring the other side of the river. "She didnt even know the risks" said Humpherey with mild disgust as he just couldnt get used to these kinds of thing after all the bodies hed seen they still just made him sicker than anything. Of course he presumed that meant he still had sanity with him but the way thing were going at this point he wasnt sure he could keep it.
When Humpherey got back to the den He told Kate about the murder and that the wolf was from the eastern pack. He then told the pups do NOT go into those woods under any circumstances and Lillian was the first to agree to that. Her two brothers though were more like "aww come on dad, mom tell him he cant so that!" but Kate`s response was "your dads right its dangerous out there and she repeated Humpherey`s words and they made the three promise to not go and they all did as they were told and promised but Streak had his claws crossed as he promised. The yeventually all fell asleep except for Humpherey who after what he had seen earlier that afternnon just could even manage to shut his eyes. The emotional toll was hitting like a boulder to the chest and it wouldnt leave him alone. Kate in her little way of knowing something was wrong woke up and saw him sitting at the edge of the cliff outside of the den. She sat down next to him and layed down next to him he looked at her and licked her cheek which got a smile in return. The ysat in silence until eventually they both fell asleep.
