My POV
I ran out of the den to try to catch up to Kate. I felt great this morning and to my surprise, I was actually catching up to her. sejak the time we were half way of the race, I looked to my left and found Kate running seterusnya to me.
"Wow your fast!" Kate said.
"I'm usually not this fast at all!" I replied.
"Well let's see if anda can keep up now!" Kate said.
Kate started to run a lot faster than usually. I was actually keeping up with her... and passing her? I was amazed sejak this, I've never won a race before. I sniffed the air finding that their scent was getting stronger. seterusnya thing I know, I stop dead in my tracks in a clearing where I see Humphrey, Jackson and Lilly sitting down talking. I began walking towards them and I suddenly got nailed sejak something soft. It was Kate but we kept tumbling around. We tumbled in-between Lilly, Humphrey and Jackson scaring them. We finally stopped tumbling. I started to blink to fix my vision since it was blurry. When it became clear I saw Kate lying on bahagian, atas of me. I realized that our noses were touching and turned my head. I did not want to go through that dream again with that ghost. Kate also realized that our noses were touching. When I moved my nose away I could hear her pout a little.
"Kate, don't worry, all we have to do is wait a week and then we can tarikh okay?" I said.
This made Kate smile a little. "Okay I hope I can wait that long." Kate replied.
"Now Kate, don't be impatient. It will fly sejak I swear. Now could anda get off me?" I asked.
This kind of pissed off Kate but she was able to control it. She got off of me and helped me up. We turned to see everyone had a smile on their faces.
"I'm guessing that anda two are back together?" Jackson asked.
Kate and I looked at each other with just almost sad expressions. "No we are not." I berkata trying not to sound sad.
They all stared at us with shocked expressions. "Wait what? Why?" Lilly asked.
"Let's just say that we had a changing moment last night." Kate replied.
They all stared at us with just confused expressions. Those soon turned into laughter as they were on the floor laughing hard. Kate and I looked at each other with shocked expressions since we knew what they were thinking.
"Oh shut up anda perverts!" Kate and I berkata at the same time.
They continued to laugh for a few lebih minit before stopping. "Are anda guys done now?" I asked annoyed.
"Yes we are." Humphrey replied chuckling holding his side.
"So what were anda guys talking about?" Kate asked.
"Oh I was just trying to teach Humphrey some moves for hunting. We're almost done." Lilly said.
"But what about his ribs?" I asked.
"I never got a say in this... sejak the way my ribs hurt like hell. Can we please stop Lilly? This really hurts." Humphrey pleaded sadly.
"Come on Humphrey, please, one lebih and that's it." Lilly replied.
Humphrey put his paw on his ribs as they burned with pain. Humphrey then tried something that worked with Kate to get what he wanted. He started to beg and gave Lilly his cute anjing, anak anjing dog eyes.
"Humphrey, stop it. It won't work, now get back in the position and grab that pine cone." Lilly berkata not even budging on his attempt to get out of this.
Humphrey looked shocked that his attempt didn't work, I mean after all it worked with Kate. He moved back to his position where he started. He pouted on his way there. He lined up straight so that he was facing a pine cone hanging from the tree. Every alih he made he would wince in pain. He did what Lilly had told him to do. He started sejak putting his butt in the air then lowering it to the ground. He looked at Lilly to make sure that he was doing everything right. Lilly nodded at him. He then moved his shoulders so he could get a good feeling before jumping. He counted down slowly. He jumped when he got to 3 and flew through the air. To his surprise, he actually felt himself being lighter and lebih easily to jump. Humphrey flew at the pine cone, actually coming straight at it. He felt pain going through him as his ribs hurt lebih and more. He finally reached the pine cone and grabbed it. He flew pass the branch with the pine cone in his mouth. He landed with a big smile on his face turning around seeing everyone running towards him.
"I did it!" he muffled with the pine cone in his mouth.
"Nice one!" I said.
"That was awesome!" Jackson said.
"Dang Humphrey anda got some skills there!" Kate said.
"See I told anda anda could do it honey." Lilly berkata smiling.
We all came running at him. We all were about to embraced him for finally learning to hunt. Well, at least learn one alih to hunting. As we were about to hug him, he collapsed on ground in pain from his ribs.
"Don't worry I'm okay I just can't walk now for awhile. It looks like one of anda will have to carry me." Humphrey berkata sadly.
Lilly turned to her black bulu and walked over to Humphrey. "I'll carry anda sweetie." Lilly offered.
"Are anda sure your strong enough?" Humphrey asked.
"Of course I am. When I am in my black fur, I gain lebih strength so don't worry." Lilly replied.
"I'm not worried as long as I'm with anda sweet heart." Humphrey berkata before Ciuman Lilly on the lips.
I looked over at Jackson and saw him making a gagging face. This made me chuckle a little at that. I turned to Kate and we both nodded.
"Come on anda two, we should get going so we get a head start. We might even get there a hari early." I said.
"Okay let's go then." Jackson replied.
And with that, we began to walk back to the train and head back to Jasper. Me and Kate we walking seterusnya to each other the whole way trying to get to know each other more.
"So what's your kegemaran color?" Kate asked.
"Red atau green. How about yours?" I replied and asked.
"Oh cool Krismas colors. Mine is turquoise." Kate replied.
"What's your kegemaran color eyes?" I asked.
"Hmmmmm green atau blue. How about you?"
"Hey just like mine and brown atau hazel."
"Yes they are and just like mine." Kate giggled and blushed since hers was in-between the two colors.
We continued to ask each other soalan for awhile until she asked a soalan that made me nervous. "Have anda ever thought about starting a family?" Kate asked a little worried of my reaction.
I was then Frozen in place as I stopped moving. Kate stopped and was worried that she had ruined their chances for a relationship. The rest of them noticed that we had stopped and came back to see what was going on.
"Cooper, is something wrong?" Kate asked.
I stood there Frozen not responding. It took about 3 minit before I finally responded. "Um... I've never thought about that before... but now that I think of it, I might want to." I replied.
"Finally! I thought anda were going to be Frozen like that forever." Kate replied.
"Don't worry, that will never happen to me." I said.
"If anda two are done can we get going?" Humphrey asked.
"Sure le-" I was going to finish but felt a sharp pain in my rear end.
"OW! What the fuck!" I yelled.
I turned to see a dart in my rear. I then saw Kate rush at the belukar, bush where the dart came from. There was a hunter there and he never noticed the rest of us there. Kate clamped down her jaw on his neck, snapping it. Once she killed the hunter she came running at me worried that it had something else other than sleep liquid in it. Jackson came up to me and pulled the dart out.
"Are anda okay dude?" Jackson asked.
"Of cour-... Wow... pretty colors." I berkata starting to loss my mind from the affects of the dart.
"Oh god not this again." Humphrey berkata chuckling as I went side to side swaying.
A tupai went sejak in my vision. "Oh look a floating running cupcake... I want that... Cup... Caaaaaaaaaaakkkee..." I berkata finally hitting the ground in a deep sleep.
Changing to Humphrey's POV
I watched as I saw Cooper hit the ground in a deep sleep. I started to laugh because I acted the same way when I got shot sejak one of those darts. As I looked over at Kate, she was giving me a pissed off look.
"What?" I asked.
"He's knocked out and yet anda laugh at that? Why?" Kate asked.
"Because I was the same way when I got shot sejak one. Just seeing this brought back funny memories." I berkata chuckling.
"Okay whatever. Looks like someone's going to have to carry him." Kate said.
"I'll do it." Jackson replied.
"Okay here let me help anda get him on your back." Kate berkata walking over to Cooper and picking him up, putting him on Jacksons back.
"Is he heavy at all?" I asked still having Lilly carrying me.
"Not really." Jackson replied. "Great, lebih carrying."
"At least you're not carrying a lazy ass." Lilly berkata giggling.
"Hey! I'm not lazy!" I retaliated.
"I was just kidding." Lily replied.
"Can we just get going please?" Kate berkata annoyed.
"Okay fine. Let's get going." Jackson replied.
We continued to walk since Cooper and I had to be carried, so it slowed us down. That instant with the hunter really put us behind schedule because if that hadn't happened then we would already be at the train. It was getting dark out and fast.
"Come on, we need to find a place to sleep tonight. It looks like it's going to rain so we need to hurry." I said.
"I agree. I don't think we want to get wet when we fall-" just then it started to rain. "-asleep." Lilly berkata annoyed now that she was getting soaked.
We started to jog lightly since my ribs still hurt. We looked around everywhere to find a den but were unsuccessful.
"Damn it! Why can't we find somewhere to sleep?" Jackson said.
Just then, we came to a side of a bukit and saw a cave. We got in as fast as possible. Lilly and Jackson set me and Cooper down slowly. I looked over at Cooper and saw him with a smile on his face.
(I'm guessing he's having a good dream. I bet it's him and Kate having fun in his dream.) I thought to myself.
Lilly, Jackson and Kate shook themselves to get the water out of their fur. Lilly came over and started to lick me clean of the water. I looked over and saw Kate doing to the same thing to Cooper. We all stared at Kate with a 'what are anda doing' expression. Kate looked at us with a confused look.
"What? I can't lick a friend clean of water without having people staring?" Kate berkata annoyed.
Kate got done licking Cooper clean of water and laid down. "Okay I suggest that we all get to sleep because we are going to be in a hurry for tomorrow. We need to get to Jasper before night fall atau else there will be a war." Kate said.
"Okay I don't mind anyways. It was tiring carrying these two." Lilly replied.
"I agree. Well goodnight everyone." Jackson berkata tiredly.
"Goodnight." We all berkata except Cooper.
Kate had slept seterusnya to Cooper but not too close to him. She was being serious about this friendship thing. As for me, Lilly came and snuggled closely to me, Ciuman me on the lips.
"Goodnight my sweetie." Lilly berkata happily.
"Goodnight my love." I replied back.
After that Lilly went straight to sleep, tired from carrying me. Before I did I looked over at Kate and Cooper who were fast asleep. I smiled and I berkata one thing in my mind before falling asleep...
(They will make a great couple.) I thought to myself falling asleep...
I ran out of the den to try to catch up to Kate. I felt great this morning and to my surprise, I was actually catching up to her. sejak the time we were half way of the race, I looked to my left and found Kate running seterusnya to me.
