Chapter 3 Starts
Stinky's POV
I couldn't believe I was in this mess because of Claudette and the fact she just had to impress a guy. Thought it became clear to all of us our guides were also having their own separate issues that night.
"I told you not to go away like that!" Dusty said from her side of the cave.
"I told I would gone for a day!" Huntly yelled back the two glared at each other for a few seconds before finally going to bed. In the morning Claudette was once again trying to get on Fleet's good side again. Afterwards Ed resumed trying to get her to go out with him. Dusty and Huntly had an odd morning start she would wake him up and the two would go off together and came back with a meal. The two split it with us then proceeded to clean out the den. It was as though I was watching my parents' morning routine, when they were all done it was time for us to leave.
"Alright let's get going."
"You don't have to come Dusty." Split said as though he was speaking for Huntly who shut the bird up.
"Nonsense she can come if she wants." Their weird relationship was only getting worse to the rest of us. I decided to question him about it when I could get him alone. We started walking and I saw Claudette falling behind and before I could go and talk to Huntly Runt got in my way.
"Hey Stinky can we talk?" He asked
"Yeah." I replied
"Um this is about Magril…" He immediately got embarrassed this and stopped talking. It was the last thing I wanted to hear was my brother having a crush on Magril. I saw my opportunity and left Runt and walked behind Dusty and Huntly.
"So why are you wanting to tag along since I've asked you if you wanted to go somewhere with me and every time you say no." Huntly said in a gentle tone probably trying not to offend her.
"I have family in Jasper it would be good to see them, anyways I better go see wants wrong with Claudette she's trailing behind a bit." Dusty walked to back of our group and I walked up next to Huntly. But before I could talk Huntly started talking to Split.
"Hey Stinky." Fleet said and I got side tracked again. I hushed him so I could over hear Huntly's conversation.
"When are you going to ask her?" Split asked
"The day you go north Split." Huntly laughed a little I didn't get the joke.
"I maybe a swallow but that doesn't mean I like the cold. Besides you would be nowhere without me." Split said
"Ha ha ha if you don't shut up I may eat you." Split stopped talking they kept walking slash flying in silence.
"Stinky I need to talk to you about your sister." Fleet said I groaned this day kept getting worse.
"What about her?" I asked
"When we get back I don't think she should hang out with us anymore." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I knew we were going to get in trouble because of all this but he was the one who challenged us to that stupid race.
"Fleet you challenged us! If this falls on anyone it's you!" I said loudly Huntly looked back at us and I walked over next to Ed at least he just wanted to talk about normal stuff and not shift the blame onto any of us. I saw Runt dart up ahead to Huntly, the two started talking and laughing a bit.
"So Stinky how much trouble do you think we're in right now?" Ed asked
"I'm betting we'll have to do laps every day for a week." That was the alpha version of punishment the omegas normally had to stay in their dens for a certain number of days. Ed laughed a little, and he changed the topic to what leader life was going to be like for us and what we'll do when we are the leaders of our packs.
Kate's POV
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN LOST!?" I screamed at Humphrey., he had just come back from the northern pack looking for our three pups.
"Kate, Fleet, Magril and Ed are also missing. I'm sure they just might be lost somewhere in Jasper." He replied I took a few deep breathes in a sad attempt to calm myself down.
"We should start looking then." I said we started with our own territory. Making our way down the list of places they might be and gaining help along the way. It wasn't long before half our pack was searching for the missing pups.
