Humphrey tough times

Humphreys POV:

I awoke to the warmth of the sun entering my room. I stood up and let out a long yawn and stretched out my muscles. It then hit me. The young pup that I saved yesterday wasn't where I left her. I began to get really scared and ran out the room. I first checked my main room but found nothing. I then checked my food storage room but once again found nothing. I then quickly looked in my hobby room and saw nothing. I was then about to go look outside knowing she couldn't have gotten far with her wounds but something caught my eye at the last minute. It was my chest that was slightly open with two eyes peeking out but quickly disappeared when I looked at the chest. I sighed in annoyance and said. "You really should be resting with your wounds and not playing hide and seek right now." I then walked up to my chest and took off my books before I opened the chest to find her curled up in fear. I shook my head and said. "Please don't worry I won't hurt you." She still seemed unsure but she uncurled and let me take her out of my chest. I then carried her back to the mattress. I then laid her down to rest and as soon as she was on the mattress I saw she was asleep. I smiled at the sight of her asleep because it was just to precious but then a terrible smell struck my nose. I smelt around to find the source until I discovered it was the girl. I sighed knowing I would now have to give her a bath but I didn't want her leaving the den. It then hit me. The junkyard probably has an old bucket that I can use to give the girl a bath. I quickly dashed out to the junkyard. I was there for three minutes before I found a bucket, sponge and an old stuffed bear for the girl. Once that was done I quickly ran to the river and filled the bucket up with water. I then went home.

When I arrived there I was beginning to walk in when I was pounced on before I was being strangled. I saw the water get splashed everywhere. I quickly came to my senses and knocked the person who was strangling me off before pinning them to the ground. It was then I saw it was Eve with an angry look on her face so I quickly said. "What is your problem Eve?" She growled at me and said. "My problem is that Kate has been trying to spend time with you since we arrived here and when she finally finds you she has to pin you to keep you from running off. Then you push her off and leave her for absolutely no reason at all." I frowned and said. "I had an excellent reason." Eve then said. "Well tell me what your reason was." I replied. "I have a better idea. How about I show you." I then let her up and proceeded to lead her into my den. Once we were inside I whispered. "Okay Eve now try to keep quiet." She nodded before I led her into the room with the pup. She gasped and asked. "Oh my word what happened to her?" I answered. "Some sicko tried to do her in after killing her parents." Eve gasped at this and asked. "Where is that piece of scum?" I answered. "At the bottom of Dead wolfs drop were I threw him." The expression was priceless. She then said. "You honestly killed a man?" I replied. "Yes and after what he did I would kill him again." I saw that Eve was left speechless. I sighed and pawed my face before saying. "Okay Eve if your done would you please leave so I can go get another bucket of water to clean her up?" Eve replied. "No please let me get the water. It's the least I can do after I tried to kill you for doing the right thing." I smiled and said. "Thanks Eve. To be honest I don't like leaving the girl alone." Eve smiled and said. "Well if you plan on adopting her you'll make a great father." I smiled and said. "Thanks Eve." She then left to get the water. I smiled down at the young girl before I quickly ran out and got the stuffed bear for her. I put it next to her and smiled as she began to cuddle it.

I watched her with a smile for ten minutes before Eve returned with the water. I smiled at her before she said. "Well Humphrey here's the water you wanted and if there's anything else you need just ask." I replied by saying. "Thanks Eve and don't worry I'm good." She nodded at this before leaving. I then gently nudged the little pup awake. When she woke up she let out the cutest little yawn and I couldn't help but smile. She looked up at me and asked. "Why did you wake me up?" I replied. "So I can clean up your wounds." She then noticed the stuffed animal and she asked. "What's this?" I replied. "I found this toy in the junkyard and thought of you." I then took the sponge and said. "Now it's bath time." I saw her begin to back away so I quickly grabbed her and began to clean her wounds while she struggled. Thanks to her struggling her cleaning took twenty minutes. When I was finally done I said. "Now was it really that bad." She immediately answered. "Yes." I chuckled before I said. "Okay young lady now would you mind telling me your name?" She replied. "It's Bella." I smiled but it quickly turned to a frown and said. "Well Bella I understand that both your parents have passed on so do you have any other family members?" She hung her head and said. "No my parents were the only family I had." It was then she began to cry. I frowned hearing and seeing this and said. "Well Bella with all do respect you can't go through life with out a parent so I would like to adopt you as my own daughter." I saw her begin to sniffle at this before she looked up at me with hope in her eyes and asked. "You would really do that for me?" I replied. "Of course I would. To be honest I lost my parents when I was young and I don't want any other pup going through that." She smiled at me before a frown reappeared on her face. I then asked. "What's wrong?" Bella replied. "Well you see most of my friends all lost their parents to either illness, murder or hunters so I won't be able to sleep at night knowing that while I'm snuggling up with a loving parent they're all barely surviving." I frowned at this before an idea formed in my head. I remembered that most couples in Jasper wanted to raise a pup or two. I then said. "Bella do you think you can take me to your friends?" She nodded before I quickly grabbed my knife and tied it to my back leg incase we ran into a killer because by the sounds of things we might run into a few and put my hat on. I then picked Bella up and had her direct me to where her friends were.

Bella directed me for half an hour before we arrived at an old den. I then heard yelling coming from inside so I put Bella down in a hole in a nearby tree and said. "Wait here and if I come out being attacked close your eyes." She nodded at this before I took out my knife and slowly entered. When I entered I was shocked to see at least twenty pups shivering in fear of the three large wolves in front of them. I saw they were each muscular and covered in scars. The firs one to the right had black fur while the second one on the left had brown fur. The middle one had grey fur and I'm guessing he was the leader of the three. He then yelled out. "OKAY YOU LITTLE RUNTS THE BOSS IS DEAD SO NOW I'M IN CHARGE." I then saw a little girl walk up in fear and ask. "What happened to him?" I saw the big guy look down at her and say. "Some guy threw him into a pit to his doom and NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT FOR SPEAKING WITHOUT PERMISSION." I saw him raise his paw to strike the girl but I would not let him hurt a pup so I quickly grabbed his paw and said. "You strike that pup and I'll make sure you see your boss again very soon." He glared at me before trying to strike me. I easily dodged it and led the three idiots outside. Once we were outside I quickly took them out. I sighed wondering if the killing would ever end. I then said. "Okay Bella you can come out." She slowly did but as soon as she saw the bodies she ran and hid behind my legs. I looked down at her and said. "It's alright they won't hurt you or anyone else again." She gave me a small smile before I said. "Go inside the den and calm the other pups down while I get rid of the bodies." She nodded at this before she went into the den. I then proceeded to drag the bodies out of sight. When I was done I went into the den and saw Bella talking to some of the pups. When she saw me she ran up to me and said. "Guys this is my new daddy and he's going to take you all out of here." They all cheered at this so I said. "Okay everyone I'm going to take you all to my den and any couple who wants to adopt you will come and become your new parents." They all cheered. I then led them all out and we began our trek back to my den.
