Chapter 14
Night was falling and the search party had gathered at Humphreys den "the plan is simple" Humphrey was explaining "we will search the caves on the northern side of the terriotroy thye leade thorught the cliffs and we have a good hunch thats where Winston and that other thing is." He thought to himeslf "and probably where they are keeping Kate and Streak." He continued to tell the group the plans of keeping watches at the exits of the cave system "3 wolves per exit." Many of the group looked a little unsure 3 wolves would be no match for that creature and Winston and as much as Humphrey hated to admit it if wolves were to die the scent of the blood on eithier Winston or the thing was going to be used for tracking. He didnt tell them the part about the idea behind only 3 wolves but he did explain that one group in total of about 5 would search the caves themselves and if nothing else at least find Kate or Streak. After everyone had the plan down they left for the cliffs and in the full moon they had an eerie glow to them Humphrey swalloed his nervousness about going back into another cave system "cave exploring is for humans" he thought to himself "at least they ahve lights to see where the fuck they are going." They got to the caves Humphrey was talking about it was him, Tyler, and several others. Kayla had stayed back because Tyler hadnt wanted to risk her life for a search and he was sure she hadnt wanted to risk the unborn pups life. Humphrey reached the enterance and he had to resist the urge to scream out Kate`s name. 4 other wolves volunteered themselves including Tyler and with reluctance they entered the caves the other wolves looking on as they dissapeard into the darkness.
Kate had been stuck with her father and Flora for several days and she couldnt believe Humphrey hadnt come for her. "That bastard" was all she could think though she couldnt decide if it was directed towards Humphrey, Winston, or Flora. Lately she had been seeing double off and on "im losing my mind" she thought being trapped in this cave by Winston and Flora gave her a horrible sense of claustrophobia considering this part of the cave was very tight. Streak was staying as close to her as possible without causing any suspicsion because though she was having a hard time believeing that mudering duo that could kill seemingly anything that challenged them was very paranoid. They were always watching the enterance of the cave though she noticed they failed to look back into the cave which was connected to other tunnels which could be entered into from the surface. "Please come for me" ran through her head constantly she could only hope that Humphrey or anyone would come for her. "Kate" her name being called broke her out of her trance "we need to talk about your friends." it was Winston the wolf she had always looked up too her father who had loved her or so she had thought. "Ugh what about them you bastard" she said with pure anger in her voice though it didnt affect him at all or at least he didnt show it. "Obviously no one is coming for you they have given up on you they think you went crazy heck for all you know they may think you killed poor Laila." "Ha!" Flora said butting in "that bitch didnt stand a chance how ironic the healer of your pack could heal everyone else but in the end couldnt heal herself." Kate thought all of it at once was going to push her over the cliff she was standing at the edge of the cliff of sanity at the top things were fine but once you were in the pit at the bottom there was no way out and you were doomed to live a life of pure madness for the rest of your life. "Do you think that you can turn me to your side" Kate said with a half laugh and half sob she was thinking about the whole situation she had been trapped here for days and not a sign of any help she had thought that Humphrey wouldve been there after they found Laila but he had never shown. "They arent looking for you" Winston repeated "and they arent going too if they havent already you must understand this. Those words were all it took Kate lost it she fell off the cliff of sanity Winston growled with happiness as Kate broke down in a hysterical fit that was all it took the old Kate was gone the one that loved the Western pack and was going to protect it "now to test her and see if she it completely crazy enough to kill her own pup. Winston approched Kate "youre mine now Kate you understand me" and to his happiness nodded "OK" she whispered Streak was looking on in shock had he heard is mother correctly? could it be that she was with them now? "Now" Winston said "kill that pup kill youre son" Kate looked at Streak and he felt his heart go cold the rest was a flash she was on top of him snarling. Winston looked on with pure pleasure as Kate ripped Streaks throat open leaving him in a dead heap "good girl" Winston thought to himself "now lets go kill the rest."
Humphrey heard it a pup screaming in fear the a snarl and that very scream silenced everyone else heard it and Humphrey felt his legs give and the world went black around him he awoke in his den he had been carried back by several other wolves. He saw that he was alone but the snarling in the cave and the screaming of Streak suddenly cut short was fresh in his mind "how dare you Winston killing my pup i will kill you and scatter your bones and flesh across this park." he felt his rage peak at a new level he had never felt before he felt as if his own rage and frustration mixed in with his sadness was going to consume and turn him into a mad raging wolf that would kill everything in its way. "Not now'' he thought to himself "save the rage for Winston and Flora and then unleash it upon them for they deserve to see the full power and deadliness of an enraged wolf. He swalloed all of those emotions down and walked out of his den. He went to see Kayla and Tyler he saw Lillian and Wilson bothhad been crying and he was certain why they ahd been. Kaylas fure was wet around her eyes from fresh tears as were Tyler`s. Kayla looked up and saw him "Humphrey im so sor-" he cut her off "dont be" he said and then he asked them both something that caught them off guard "how angry are you both about all of this?" Kayla was the first to speak up "I feel as if i could basically go on a rampage of my own and kill everything in my way." Tyler responded next "I feel as if im about to be turned into a wolf gone mad in a pit of anger so deep no sunlight is seen. Then he said something that shocked them even more "save that anger and hatered for when we see those two monsters and when you do let it out on them and dont let up until those motherfuckers are nothing but dieing flesh and broken bones." They both nodded and he left the den and thought to himeslf "you want to play this game? well you picked the wrong wolf to fuck with and you will find out soon enough that it was a mistake and it was a fatal one."
