Books and a trunk

Humphreys POV:

I opened my eyes to see the light shining into the entrance of my den. I knew that this meant it was time for me to get up and start training. I first had the two rabbits I caught yesterday. I had just finished eating when I began to think. "What if there was a way for me to get some exercise and add some new things to my den." Then it hit me. I then said to myself."The old junkyard is sure to have some things I could use to exercise and while I'm exercising I can look for stuff to add to my den." Then I quickly ran off to the junkyard. On the way there I ran into Marcel and Paddy. I then said. "Good morning you two." They both greeted me before Paddy said. "Might I ask where you are off to this morning." I replied by saying. "I'm on my way to the old junkyard." They both gave me confused looks before Marcel asked. "What would you be going to that place for?" I replied by saying. "Well I was there yesterday and found an empty book to write in like a journal so I was thinking that I might be able to find some more interesting things that I can use and while I'm looking I can get some exercise." They both nodded at this then we said our good byes and I continued to the junkyard. It was during this time my mind wondered over to what was happening back in Jasper.

Back in Jasper Kate's POV:

I was sitting outside my den waiting for my parents along with Lilly, Toni and Garth when they all came in. Dad then asked. "You wanted to see all of us Kate?" I answered. "Yes dad it's about me marrying Garth." He then asked. "What is it?" I replied by saying. "Well I can't marry him because I'm in love with someone else." They all gasped at this before they all asked in unison. "Who?" I answered. "It's Humphrey and I know this because I've come to realise that my pain isn't just because of the guilt but because of me not knowing where the one I truly love is." They both were shocked at this before Garth stepped in and admitted that he was in love with Lilly. To say everyone was shocked was an understatement but we were all brought out of it when Toni yelled. "WHAT?" frankly I swore he yelled so load that everyone in Jasper could hear it. Then he said. "This is not how we operate." Then mom asked. "Toni may I have a word with you in private?" He nodded then everyone except for Toni and mom left the den. Five minutes later Toni ran out of the den and quickly said to Garth. "Well after a chat with Eve I've decided to allow you to marry Lilly and to lift the pack law that Alphas and Omegas can't marry. Wow is that the time already why don't we unite the packs tomorrow. In fact I will gather the packs and tell them now."Then he ran off to gather the packs. We all were shocked at this then turned to look at mom who was walking down the slope with a smile on her face. When she finally made it down dad asked. "Eve what did you say to him?" She just smiled then said. "I'll tell you later because right now we have a wedding to get ready for." We then began to go and announce to the packs what was happening.

Back in Sawtooth Humphreys POV:

I walked for fifteen minutes before I finally made it to the junkyard. I entered the junkyard through the hole in the fence I entered through the last time I was here. I began looking through some old junk when I came across a pile of old books that all had Ernest Hemingway on them. I then looked at the top of the pile that said "Ernest Hemingway The sun also rises" on the cover I then said to myself. "Well I got nothing better to do so I might as well read this and see what it's about." Then I Found a nice soft piece of ground, sat down got comfortable and began to read the book. I read it for half an hour before I realised that I should be getting back to exploring this junkyard for stuff I can use and maybe see if there were any more of these books because frankly I think that I can grow to like books so I brought the books with me so I could read them later. I searched for half an hour before I came across a giant empty hole with junk pieces sticking out of the sides. I decided I better get away from the hole before I fall in .After five minutes before I found a part of the junkyard that was full of old tires. I then said to myself. "Well I guess this is where all the old tires are put." Then I proceeded to explore the place when I came across a huge tower of tires. I was amazed at its size but I soon decided to move to another part of the junkyard.

After five minutes I entered another part of the junkyard which was filled with old cars. I figured there must be some useful junk in one of these old cars so I began to check out all the cars boots, back seats, front seats and cubby holes. I searched for two hours before I found an old car that just somehow caught my eye although I'm not sure why. I opened up the trunk and to my surprise I found an old locked trunk. I then decided I should bring it back with me to my den so I can see what's in it. I then put the books I found earlier on top of it and began to drag it by the handle and realised that it was very heavy but I carried on dragging it. On the way out I saw an old mattress that I thought would come in handy to sleep on so I put the old trunk down with books I found earlier then put the mattress on my back then proceeded to drag the trunk with everything on it by the handle and carry the old mattress.

I pulled the stuff for half an hour before I finally made it to the bottom of the slope that lead up to my den. I groaned at this because I was already so exhausted from dragging and carrying those things here. I decided it would be best if I took them up one at a time. I started with the books before bringing the trunk up and then the mattress. Once I finally brought everything into the den I decided to start setting it all up. I started by bringing the trunk in and putting it in one of the spare rooms. Then I continued by taking my new books and journal into the spare room that also had the trunk in and made it so they were standing up in a tower next to the trunk. I then dragged the mattress in and put it in the back of the room I sleep in an pressing it against the wall. I breathed a breath of relief because I was exhausted .It was at that moment when Marcel and Paddy flew in while Marcel said. "Bonjour Humphrey and how did your search at the dump go?" I replied by saying. "It went great I found some new books, a mattress and an old locked trunk that I was just about to try to unlock. Right now all I have to do is figure out how to unlock it." Then Paddy said. "I suggest picking the lock by sticking one of your claws in the lock and wiggle it around until the lock opens up." I nodded at this then proceeded to do what he said for five minutes before I was finally able to get the lock to open. I then began to slowly open it and look inside. I was amazed at what I found inside because in the trunk was an old army pistol, an old army survival knife, an old army general hat, what looked to be someone's journal and a blanket. Then it struck me this trunk must have belonged to an old army general. I was amazed that someone would throw all this cool stuff away. I then realised that I spent more time at the junkyard than I thought because the sun was beginning to set. I'm guessing Marcel and Paddy just noticed as well because they both said. "Goodnight." Then flew off.

I decided to spend the time I had left with what light I had to end my day off with filling this days activities into my journal an unpacking the remaining things in the trunk. I started with writing in my journal this took me five minutes. I then began to unpack everything . I started off by putting my journal with the other books. I then continued my unpacking by stabbing the knife into the wall above the trunk followed by hanging the hat on the knifes handle. I then too out the pistol and put it in a small hole with just the handle sticking out, I then took the blanket out of the trunk and placed it on the ground. Once that was done I closed the trunk and began putting my books on it. I stood each of them up straight and next to each other except for the one I was reading. I put that one on its side so I would know that I was currently reading that one. Then I picked up the blanket carried it into the room I sleep in then placed it on the bed. I then went into the main den area, pulled out some caribou and ate some of it for supper. When I was done it was dark out so I put my leftovers in my food holding room, went back to my sleeping room, lied down on my mattress, put the blanket over me and went to sleep.

AN: Okay guys tomorrow I'm going back to school so I won't have as much time to write but I will do my best to write quickly and just to give you a heads up in the next chapter is going to be a big time skip and a reunion. By the way the reason for the Ernest Hemingway books is because I am a fan of them.
