Third Person POV

"WYATT!"

Wyatt and Zed quickly pulled off of each other to see who it was.

"Hey Willa," Wyatt said nervously as he looked at her while rubbing his neck.

"What were you and that zombie doing!"

She quickly paced over to them as she pulled him away from Zed so they could have a fairly long distance between them.

"Nothing, we were just.... talking."

"Yea sure, "talking," she air quoted, " So now that you're done talking, you can go home."

Suddenly she grabbed Wyatt's ear and pulled him towards the den with Wyatt giving Zed a silent goodbye, Zed doing the same himself.

Once they arrived at the den, she brought him to his room.

"We both know you two weren't just 'talking.'"

"Obviously," Wyatt muttered.

"What did you say," she said as she pointed a finger to him.

"Nothing."

"You are grounded and are to never see him or talk to him ever again."

"Woah, what the hell Willa, he's just a zombie and I didn't tell you this when you started dating Addison."

"Well at least Addison isn't a hypocrite like him. Out of everyone you had to date him, the guy who tried to make us hide ourselves like he does."

"He only does that because he's insecure Willa," he took a deep breathe, "Zombies have been around and have been judged far longer than us. We should respect them for how far they've gone. They're basically the whole reason why Seabrook didn't try to kill us the moment we stepped in and they had the chance. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't know Addison nor would I have known Zed."

Silence in the room with the chatter of the elders. Without saying anything, Willa left the room leaving Wyatt there.

As Wyatt was grounded at the den, Zed grabbed all the food leftover and headed home.

He was so close, so close! I mean if Willa came a little bit later then he would have finally kissed him. He entered the house with a frown and sat at the table in the kitchen spreading out the food.

"Hey Zed."

Zed turned around and saw that it was Zoey and her werepup friend.

"Hey guys," he responded waving his hands and getting up.

"I'll leave you two to hang out, I'll be in my room if you need me."

Before Zed could leave, Zoey grabbed Zed's wrist and looked up at him.

"Somethings wrong and were gonna talk about it."

She starting dragging Zed behind him with her friend following.

"Zoey nothings wrong, just play with your friend-"

"Zed, I know I'm a kid but that doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to not know that something is going on with you."

They entered the room and sat down on Zed's bed. Zoey and her werepup friend, Wanda, both looked at Zed with the same look with Zed in between them. Silence.

"Look either you tell us the easy way," they both stood in front of Zed with Wanda responding as she wolfed out, "Or the hard way."

Zed gulped as both himself and the girls felt the intenseness in the room.
