My POV
I ran out of the গর্ত to try to catch up to Kate. I felt great this morning and to my surprise, I was actually catching up to her. দ্বারা the time we were half way of the race, I looked to my left and found Kate running পরবর্তি to me.
"Wow your fast!" Kate said.
"I'm usually not this fast at all!" I replied.
"Well let's see if আপনি 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 দ্বারা this, I've never won a race before. I sniffed the air finding that their scent was getting stronger. পরবর্তি 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 দ্বারা 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 শীর্ষ 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 তারিখ 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 দ্বারা I swear. Now could আপনি 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 আপনি two are back together?" Jackson asked.
Kate and I looked at each other with just almost sad expressions. "No we are not." I ব্যক্ত 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 আপনি perverts!" Kate and I ব্যক্ত at the same time.
They continued to laugh for a few আরো মিনিট before stopping. "Are আপনি guys done now?" I asked annoyed.
"Yes we are." Humphrey replied chuckling holding his side.
"So what were আপনি 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... দ্বারা the way my ribs hurt like hell. Can we please stop Lilly? This really hurts." Humphrey pleaded sadly.
"Come on Humphrey, please, one আরো 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 কুকুরছানা dog eyes.
"Humphrey, stop it. It won't work, now get back in the position and grab that pine cone." Lilly ব্যক্ত 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 সরানো he made he would wince in pain. He did what Lilly had told him to do. He started দ্বারা 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 আরো easily to jump. Humphrey flew at the pine cone, actually coming straight at it. He felt pain going through him as his ribs hurt আরো 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 আপনি got some skills there!" Kate said.
"See I told আপনি আপনি could do it honey." Lilly ব্যক্ত smiling.
We all came running at him. We all were about to embraced him for finally learning to hunt. Well, at least learn one সরানো 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 আপনি will have to carry me." Humphrey ব্যক্ত sadly.
Lilly turned to her black পশম and walked over to Humphrey. "I'll carry আপনি sweetie." Lilly offered.
"Are আপনি sure your strong enough?" Humphrey asked.
"Of course I am. When I am in my black fur, I gain আরো strength so don't worry." Lilly replied.
"I'm not worried as long as I'm with আপনি sweet heart." Humphrey ব্যক্ত before স্নেহ চুম্বন 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 আপনি two, we should get going so we get a head start. We might even get there a দিন 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 পরবর্তি to each other the whole way trying to get to know each other more.
"So what's your পছন্দ color?" Kate asked.
"Red অথবা green. How about yours?" I replied and asked.
"Oh cool বড়দিন colors. Mine is turquoise." Kate replied.
"What's your পছন্দ color eyes?" I asked.
"Hmmmmm green অথবা blue. How about you?"
"Hey just like mine and brown অথবা 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 প্রশ্ন for awhile until she asked a প্রশ্ন that made me nervous. "Have আপনি ever thought about starting a family?" Kate asked a little worried of my reaction.
I was then ফ্রোজেন 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 ফ্রোজেন not responding. It took about 3 মিনিট 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 আপনি were going to be ফ্রোজেন like that forever." Kate replied.
"Don't worry, that will never happen to me." I said.
"If আপনি 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 গুল্ম 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 আপনি okay dude?" Jackson asked.
"Of cour-... Wow... pretty colors." I ব্যক্ত starting to loss my mind from the affects of the dart.
"Oh god not this again." Humphrey ব্যক্ত chuckling as I went side to side swaying.
A কাঠবিড়াল went দ্বারা in my vision. "Oh look a floating running cupcake... I want that... Cup... Caaaaaaaaaaakkkee..." I ব্যক্ত 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 দ্বারা 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 আপনি laugh at that? Why?" Kate asked.
"Because I was the same way when I got shot দ্বারা one. Just seeing this brought back funny memories." I ব্যক্ত 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 আপনি get him on your back." Kate ব্যক্ত 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, আরো carrying."
"At least you're not carrying a lazy ass." Lilly ব্যক্ত giggling.
"Hey! I'm not lazy!" I retaliated.
"I was just kidding." Lily replied.
"Can we just get going please?" Kate ব্যক্ত 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 ব্যক্ত annoyed now that she was getting soaked.
We started to jog lightly since my ribs still hurt. We looked around everywhere to find a গর্ত but were unsuccessful.
"Damn it! Why can't we find somewhere to sleep?" Jackson said.
Just then, we came to a side of a পাহাড় 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 আপনি 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 ব্যক্ত 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 অথবা 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 ব্যক্ত tiredly.
"Goodnight." We all ব্যক্ত except Cooper.
Kate had slept পরবর্তি 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, স্নেহ চুম্বন me on the lips.
"Goodnight my sweetie." Lilly ব্যক্ত 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 ব্যক্ত 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 গর্ত to try to catch up to Kate. I felt great this morning and to my surprise, I was actually catching up to her. দ্বারা the time we were half way of the race, I looked to my left and found Kate running পরবর্তি to me.
