Chapter 2 what has been lost
Kate's POV
"Humphrey!" I yelled. I was numb with fear that the wolf that had saved my life could be dead. I ran to the bottom of the canyon and desperately searched for him. Tears were streaming down my eyes and I spotted a lump of mud that looked like it had a tail sticking out of it. I ran over and pulled the thing out and fell down crying and said, "Humphrey your tail, I'm so sorry."
I heard nothing but the rain and thunder above me and my heart throbbed violently. I saw that I had pulled out a stick and asked, "How could he be dead, "I've known him since we were pups!" I cried and shook my head screaming, "NO NO NO!" I put my paws over my eyes and sobbed. I felt something in me stir and stopped crying; I felt that whenever Humphrey made me smile or laugh.
With shock I realized something. I whispered, "I've fallen in love with him." My body started to shake and I screamed, "IT TOOK THIS LONG FOR ME TO FIND OUT AND NOW HE'S DEAD!" I broke down; I couldn't stand thinking about him anymore. I sobbed violently and spasms shook me causing me to fall to the ground. I shook my head not accepting what I knew was true. I realized that, I'm in love with him and I still need to marry Garth.
I shouted, "NO, my heart belongs to him. Even if he's dead." I cried to myself and eventually pulled myself together enough to stand up. With tears in my eyes I slowly made my way back up and out of the canyon. The lightning flashed above me and illuminated the forest briefly causing strange shapes and shadows to leap at me from the dark. I looked at my reflection in a puddle and saw my eyes were red and my fur had mud all over it.
For a brief moment I expected Humphrey's reflection to join mine and I saw tears form in my eyes again. I sobbed and ran through the forest wanting to forget everything that had happened. I tripped on a vine and fell to the ground sobbing and I heard a voice in my head say, "Never give up." With those final words my mind tore itself to shreds and I fell into an endless dream.
(Decided the chapters will be super short so I can switch between the two perspectives easily! The chapters will be coming fast but I will still pour all my effort and emotions into every last one so enjoy the ride!)
