Chapter 5
*The next day*
Zed pov
Zed for prez! Vote Zed for prez,
because I'm a zombie, not a zom-can't-be. I said handing it out flyers
Okay, here's our platform. We fight for zombie toppings on pizza in the cafeteria. Eliza said
Right I said
Get Zombie tongue taught as a second language. Eliza said
Good I said
And how to overthrow your oppressors after school club. Eliza said as I gave her a look
Eliza! I said
Sorry, right. Don't over promise.
But more importantly, we allow zombies at Prawn. Good luck, Mr. Future President. Eliza said as Bree and Addison walked up to us
Hey Zed, did you hear? Addie's being tested for captain, and she gets to run cheer practice tomorrow. Bree said excited
It's no big deal Addison said as Bree gave her a look
Okay, it's huge. A huge chance to fail! Addison said
oh my gosh, she's so going to be cheer captain once Bucky wins.
He's so gonna win, because you know, elections, they're just like these big old popularity contests.
And Bucky is super popular. Bree said
Thanks Bree Addison said as she turned and looked at me
I know it's weird I'll only be cheer captain if Bucky's president, but... Addison said as I shook my head
No, that just means neither of us can lose, because one of us is going to get what we want. And I can live with that. I said as Addison smiled
Me too. You'll do great, Zed. Addison said as we heard Bucky campaigning
Bucky Buchanan for president. A vote for Bucky is a vote for cheer-fection. Bucky said
Willa pov
So when are we gonna take amber to the den Wyatt asked
Soon I said as he nodded
These sheep just let us in?
Baaaad idea. I said as I scratched some lockers
We agreed to play nice. Wyatt said
This is me playing nice. Now let's find that moonstone. I said
Zed pov
With cheer fans in Bucky's camp,
and zombies and the football
team in mine, the school's split right down the middle. I said
Werewolves are the swing vote.
Wolves are key to winning this election. But you know winning over the wolves is going to be hard. Eliza said
Trust me, I got this. We're going to win the wolves votes, and more.
We just have to show them
how to fit in, like us. and since amber is already close to them she can help us get them on my side I said
Doubt it u do know amber doesn't like u right Eliza said as I shook my head
Amber pov
Hey willa what are u looking for I asked as I saw her throwing books over her shoulder
Any information regarding our moonstone Willa said
Well when did it get stolen I asked
A long time ago before there was a Seabrook Willa said
Oh that would be in the history section come on I'll show you I said leading her over to the history section
Thank u she said
Of course I told u I would help u find your moonstone I said as I looked for the books that talked about the first Seabrook settlers
There's are all the books that might help I said as Willa nodded
Hey, that dog just ate my homework! I heard Bree shout
Hold on I'll be right back I said as I went and Bree and Addison
Ok first of all Bree that was uncalled for she's not a dog she's a Wolf big difference and second of all wynter we do not eat stuff that doesn't belong to u now spit it out I said as wynter took the homework out her mouth and gave it back to Bree
Gross Bree said as Willa came and slammed the book down on the table
Lies! These history books
claim werewolves attacked Seabrook settlers. But they struck first and stole our moonstone. Willa said upset
I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I said as she looked at me as her features softened
There's a lot you don't know. she said as she turned and walked towards the door
Willa wait if you don't check them out the alarm will go off I said as she took of her necklace and shorted out the alarm system
Our necklaces have a way with electronics. Wyatt said
Cool I said
How about u come with us Wyatt said
Sure I said as I waved bye to Addison and went with them to zombie town
Useless. None of these history books say where the moonstone is hidden. Willa said frustrated
It'll be ok we will find it I promise I said as I saw Zed approaching us with Eliza and Zoey in tow
Oh Lord what does he want now I said
Hello wolves, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Zed, zombie, football star, presidential hopeful. Zed said holding his hand out for Willa to shake
But that didn't happen she just looked at him
When zombies first came
to Seabrook, we were outsiders, too. Which is why you need a great
president like Zed to represent you. Eliza said
Come on amber help me out her
Nope your on your own remember I don't like u I said as Willa smirked
Our pack is our pack. We don't need anyone else, so... Wynter said as Zoey spoke up
Who doesn't want more friends?
Underneath all that fluffy hair,
I bet you're a real softie. Zoey said
I am a mean, mean werewolf,
kid. I am tough and rough. Wynter said bending down to her level
Aww, you said "ruff." Like a sweet little puppy dog. Ruff, ruff! Zoey said
We are beasts of the forest, we will never be tamed. Wynter said as Zoey Started scratching behind her ear which apparently she she enjoyed
I looked over at Willa and wondered if she would react the same way. She must have read my mind cuz she gave me a look like don't even think about it
We're nothing like you zombies. Willa said looking at Zed mostly
You sort of are. Your necklace is powered, right? Kind of like an organic Z-band. Eliza said as Willa raised an eyebrow
You're smarter than he looks. Willa said as Eliza smiled and blushed a little bit
Thanks Eliza said
For some reason I didn't like it when willa complemented Eliza. I know Willa meant it more of an insult to Zed's intelligence but I still didn't like how Eliza reacted
That necklace keeps you from fully wolfing out? Zed asked
The opposite. Our moonstones make us our true werewolf selves. Wyatt said
So without it you'd be human? Zed asked
No, we'd die. We'd be nothing. Willa said
Dang that took dark turn hella quick I thought
Imagine how alive you'd feel
if you didn't have to tamp things down. Hold back your true selves. Wyatt said
Actually, I've got this theory
that zombies might've evolved
beyond their need for Z-bands. Eliza said as Zed cut in
Z-bands are great. They help you fit in. And I think you guys would have a much better time at Seabrook if you just followed
in our footsteps. Join a club,
play football. I'll even teach you
how to tackle. Just lighten up.
Be more like us. Zed said
