Chapter 6 Egos
Stinky's POV
"Ed what were you thinking?" Fleet yelled Ed had appearantly tried to kiss Magril. I knew the two had been buddying up the past couple of days but I didn't expect he would try that.
"I don't know my mind went blank." Ed replied this was unbelievable. We all began growling at each other.
"You three enough! You can kill each other later!" Huntly yelled back at us and we separated Fleet went over to Magril and I started walking in the middle. It was getting dark so we decided to stop again, Dusty went off to find Huntly something to eat since he skipped out last time we stopped. He and Runt seemed to be getting along fairly well so I decided to join them.
"Hi." I muttered.
"So what was going on with you all?" Runt asked
"Ed tried to sneak a kiss with Magril she didn't like it." I replied I thought the idea was stupid to say the least.
"Well can't say I haven't tried that one before." Huntly replied as Dusty walked back.
"What have you tried?" She asked as she passed him some berries.
"Oh um nothing and thank you." Huntly replied before he started eating Dusty sat next to him and started talking with Claudette. I laid down and tried to go to sleep, the sun was beginning to set, and I fell asleep. I felt something on top of me, I woke up it was Fleet, it was still night.
"Can we talk?" He asked I sat up and nodded my head. "It's my fault we're here and I put the blame on Claudette could you talk to her for me?"
"Um why?" I replied
"Because I don't think she wants to talk to me." I didn't want to be in the middle of their fight but m if it helped in any way to get everyone to stop fighting I had to do it. So I accepted his offer and went back to sleep.
"Alright everyone wake up!" Huntly said and we all started moving again.
Kate's POV
"Three days Humphrey!" I yelled I was tired, I had been searching for them nonstop for the past three days. I couldn't believe they were still missing or that no one had seen them in all of Jasper.
"Kate I know, I'm worried to. We already have the Eastern, Northern, and our pack searching everywhere. What else can we do except wait?" He replied I thought about it for a moment.
"We're going to ask the rogues." I replied before leaving the den Humphrey chased after me
"Kate the rogues? What if they don't know and you're just informing them? Next you know we're giving our territory over to them to save our kids." Humphrey said
"Humphrey I'm still going." I said before making my way to the Northern pack to inform Fleet's father of the possibility the rogues might have his kids to.
Stinky's POV
We were at human road preparing to cross, Dusty had already made it to the other side along with Claudette and Runt. Huntly was looking both ways to make sure no humans were coming. "Alright you two go." He said, Fleet and Magril took off as fast as they could to the other side. He looked both ways several times again and told me to go he went with me. When we crossed we started walking again. I stayed back with Claudette this time just so I could talk to her for Fleet.
"So Fleet told it was his fault we're in this mess." I said and she stuck up her nose.
"Then why doesn't he tell me that himself." She sped up passing me and went to the front with Runt. I glared at Fleet and pointed to Claudette.
"Claudette I'm sorry." Fleet announced to everyone we all turned and looked at him. "It's my fault we're here. I just wanted to impress you is all."
"About time you admitted it." Claudette said and Dusty gave her a small shove towards Fleet. Claudette looked back at her then at Fleet. "I'm sorry I got a little too competitive." She said well that took of one of our problems but we still had a lot that needed to be fixed such as the whole Ed thing.
"Well nice of you two to finally make up." Runt said as we continued walking. I walked back up to the front to hear what Huntly and Dusty were talking about.
"So if we keep walking it'll take two more days, or we can change direction in hopes of going to a train that'll get us there faster but the trip takes an entire day and if we miss the train it adds another four." Split said
"We should keep walking." Dusty said
"I think we should go for the train." Huntly objected.
"Why would we it's out of the way and if we miss it four more days, they need to get home as fast as possible Huntly." Dusty stated
"Exactly the train will be faster Dusty." Huntly replied before we all stopped and watched to the two bicker back and forth. "The risk is worth the reward Dusty."
"No it isn't we should keep going the way we've been going." Dusty said
"Two days versus one how is this even a question?" Huntly rebutted
"We're going on the two day path and that's final!" Dusty yelled Huntly didn't flinch like dad did when mom got mad at him.
"You two calm down." Split said both took some deep breathes and walked off in opposite directions. Leaving us with the bird.
