The Journal

Humphreys POV:

I woke up to find myself not in my normal den but then it struck me. I remembered what happened then lowered my head in sadness but I quickly snapped out of my sad mood and went to eat some leftover caribou. When I was done eating my breakfast I knew I had a lot of work to do in order to survive so I went out and started to work out. First I found an old log, lifted onto my back and began to do log squats. I did this for about two hours none stop before I stopped and went to get a drink of water. It took me about ten minutes to get to a nearby creek. As soon as I got there I immediately dunked my head in to cool myself off before I took a nice long drink of the ice cool water. Just as I was finishing off I heard someone yell. "FOUR" Then I felt something hit me in the back of my head. I began to rub the part of my head that was hit before looking down at what hit me only to see that it was one of Marcel's ball's. Speaking of the devil him and Paddy came through the bushes at that very moment. I smiled at them before saying. "Well good morning to you both and I suspect this ball is yours." Then I pointed at the ball on the ground. They both chuckled before Paddy said. "Well good morning to you as well Humphrey and yes that would be our ball." I smiled before handing it over to them. Then Marcel said. "You know I thought you wolfs always marked your territory." My ears perked at this when the realization hit me. I hadn't marked my territory yet. I then quickly said. "Thanks for reminding me and I will see you both later." Then I ran off to mark my territory.

When I was done I decided I should run around and get a little exercise while learning the parts of the park. While exploring I began to hear someone call my name and I followed the voice only to find an old abandoned junkyard so I decided to check it out. It was incredible but also a little creepy because it was like a graveyard for old junk. I just shrugged it off and began to check it out more. I had been looking for five minutes before I came across an old car that really caught my eye I'm not really sure what brought me to it but it seemed like it was calling me with the same voice I heard earlier. When I looked inside it I saw a blue leather book and a bold point pen. It was really strange because it felt like those items were what were calling me so I took them both out of the car and then left the junkyard and went back to my den.

When I got back I saw decided I should see what's in this book but when I opened it I saw nothing but blank pages. This of course confused me but then I realised that this was meant to be a journal that was not used so I decided to correct that. I then took the pen, opened to the first page and wrote. "The journal of Humphrey wolf." Which surprised me considering I've never written anything in my life but it just came naturally to me although I'm not sure why. Then I continued by turning the page, Writing the date of the moonlight howl followed by drawing a picture of Kate and Garth before writing about what happened that night at the moonlight howl around the drawing. On the next free page I wrote yesterdays date followed by drawing a picture of Marcel ,Paddy and the porcupines when I first saw them from the cliff. Then I wrote down what happened that day around the drawing. When I was done I realised that I had already use up three pages in what was now my Journal. I then looked outside and realised it was still early so I better go and get a bit more exercise and practice before bed.

I then left and proceeded by doing log squats, swimming against the current and practicing front and back flips before going out hunting. By the end of my hunt I had killed one caribou and two rabbits. When I brought them back to my den the sun was just beginning to set so I decided to use what light I had to write what happened today in my journal. While I was writing I just couldn't help but wonder what's happening back in Jasper.

Back in Jasper

Kates POV:

I had spent my entire day inside my parents den despite the efforts of both my parents and friends to get me to go outside and get some fresh air but I just didn't want to because I was feeling too much guilt over what happened to Humphrey. It was at that moment when dad walked in. He looked at me before saying. "Listen Kate I know you feel that you're responsible that Humphrey might not return but it's but it might not be your fault. For all we know the humans could be keeping him from coming back or he could be on his way back at this very moment." Then I replied. "Yeah and for all we know he could be lying on the ground either injured or dead." I heard dad sigh over what I said and replied. "Kate you just have to have faith that Humphrey will return unharmed and alright." I nodded at this before saying. "Thanks for comforting me dad." He smiled then said. "My pleasure Kate." Then he left while I laid down to sleep.

Five minutes after he left three more shadows came over me. I opened my eyes only to find Humphreys three friends Salty, Shaky and Mooch who were all giving me death glares which made me feel a little scared. Salty then opened his mouth and asked angrily. "Do you have any idea what you've done?" I was confused by this so I answered. "I have no idea what you're talking about." They simply gave me cold, hard glares at me before Mooch said. "You've broken Humphreys heart." Then Shaky said. "He was head over paws in love with you and you just coldly destroyed his heart." Then Mooch said. "We hope you're happy you cold hearted witch." Then they all left. To say I was shocked was an understatement but it was that moment I realised that my pain wasn't just caused from my guilt or worry but also from the pain of the one I truly love not being around and I now knew that I had to get out of this marriage. Then I laid down and cried myself to sleep that night.

AN: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I would've had it posted earlier but I've been away at the Kruger Park where I couldn't post anything but I was able to read other stories using my dad's I pad except for yester day when I went white river rafting and for the four hours I was unconscious. Long story short I was going down some rapids and hit my head hard on a branch. Always wear a helmet when river rafting.
