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
