Chapter Eighteen: Flesh & Bone
The Next Day
Malia's Pov
I woke up the next day.
This time I wasn't tired, nor angry or annoyed.
I was smiling, smiling like a damn idiot.
After everything that happened yesterday I couldn't stop smiling.
I got out of bed and quickly took a shower.
After my shower I got changed.
I smiled and made my way to Emily's room.
I smiled when I saw she was already awake.
"Hey princess, are you ready for breakfast?" I asked.
She just smiled and giggled.
"Mwama, bwreakfast" Emily said.
I smiled and laughed before picking her up.
I changed her clothes so now she was wearing a nice pink dress and pink shoes.
I made sure she was all dressed before walking downstairs.
Once I got downstairs Missy and Dale were already sitting at the table eating.
Surprisingly Addison wasn't there, which is weird since she was always here before me.
'Did she oversleep or something?' I thought.
Missy spotted me and smiled.
"Good morning Malia, did you sleep well last night?" Missy asked.
I smiled and nodded, "yes I did actually" I said.
"That's good to hear sweetie, come sit and eat with us" Missy offered.
I smiled and made my way to the kitchen and sat down.
I placed Emily on my lap and fed her that way.
I ate some cereal and managed to continue feeding Emily.
After a few minutes Addison finally came downstairs.
However, she looked different.
She wasn't in her regular clothes like always.
She wore werewolf clothes, her hair was all styled up and her nails were done nicely.
"What the hell" I whispered.
Addison just smiled at us before sitting down and eating her cereal.
Missy and Dale looked at her weirdly and surprised.
Addison finally noticed us staring at her and looked at us confused.
"So, new look?" Missy asked.
"I like it, my new friends like it" Addison said with a proud smile.
I just smiled at her and nodded.
"Did you join a...um...join a rock band?" Dale asked.
Addison just gave her father a confused looked while I giggled.
"You look great Addy" I complimented.
She smiled, "thanks Malia" Addison said and I nodded.
"Come on, I need to drop Emily off with Eliza's mother and we need to get to school" I explained.
She nodded and quickly finished her cereal.
I grabbed my bag while Emily was still in my arms.
Addison grabbed her baby bag and a brown looking box.
"We'll see you later mom and dad" Addison said.
"Bye sweetie" Missy said, "stay safe girls" Dale said.
"We will" I said before opening the door and leaving the house.
"So, you gonna tell me why you're dressed like that?" I asked.
Addison smiled and nodded.
"Yesterday, the wolves came and took me to their den. I was confused why they brought me, that was until they explained to me that I could be a werewolf" Addison explained.
I looked at her and raised my eyebrows at her.
"Are you serious?" I asked and she nodded.
"My white hair could mean something Malia, all my life I've been trying to figure out where I belong and now I have. This could be my pack" Addison explained happily.
I smiled softly at her and bounced Emily in my arms.
"I'm happy for you Addy, and if becoming a werewolf is something you really want then I'll support you every step of the way" I reassured her.
She smiled and gave me a side hug.
"Thanks Malia" Addison said.
I hugged her back and kissed her cheek.
"Enough about me, tell me what's going on between you and Wyatt?" Addison asked with a smirk.
I blushed and looked away from her.
"What do you mean?" I asked nervously.
"Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, I saw you and him kiss yesterday when he dropped you off" Addison said with a smirk.
I blushed more then before and sighed in defeat.
No point in keeping something like this from her.
"Me and Wyatt are dating" I said.
Her smirk faded with a smile and she squealed at the top of her lungs.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, you guys finally got together. I'm so happy" Addison ranted.
I giggled at her childish behavior and nodded.
"He asked me to be his girlfriend yesterday and I said yes" I said with a smile.
Addison squealed louder then before and hugged me.
"I'm so happy for you Malia, you're finally happy again, you finally moved on from your ex" Addison said.
I giggled and nodded.
"Yeah, yeah I finally moved on from him" I said.
I glanced down at my finger where I used to wear the promise ring Ben gave me and smiled.
I'm over him, he can keep Mal for all I care.
I'm with Wyatt now and he makes me really happy.
"Come on, let's hurry so we can get to school" I said and Addison nodded.
At School
I ditched Addison and headed to my locker to put my things away.
While putting my things away I felt warm arms wrap around my waist.
I smiled and closed my locker and turned around to face my new boyfriend.
"Hey, how's my beautiful girlfriend doing today?" Wyatt asked.
I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck, "for the most part alright, but now that you're here I'm doing better" I said.
"Oh really~" Wyatt said with a smirk.
"Yep" I said, popping the 'p'.
He smirked and kissed me, I smiled and gladly kissed him back.
The kiss started getting a little rough and Wyatt held onto my waist tighter.
He pushed me up against the lockers and let out a small growl.
I blushed at his behavior, but I ain't complaining, I found it hot.
Before we could go any further someone interrupted us.
"AHEM, you guys know you're at school right?"
We both laughed and pulled away and turned to face Willa and Wynter.
"Hey guys, didn't see you there" I said.
"Of course you didn't, you two were practically eating each other" Willa teased and we both blushed.
Wynter squealed and clapped her hands together.
"I'm so happy you guys are finally together" Wynter cheered.
"It's about time he asked you, I thought he was too scared to do it" Willa said with a smirk.
Wyatt rolled his eyes and glared at her.
"I wasn't scared, I was just nervous she wouldn't have felt the same way I felt" Wyatt said.
"But still scared" Willa teased with a smirk.
"Shut up" Wyatt groaned and I laughed.
Willa turned to me and smiled.
"I really am glad you guys are together, you two make a really cute couple" Willa said.
I smiled and nodded. "Thank you Willa" I said.
She nodded before turning her attention to Wyatt.
"We need to get going, it's almost time" Willa said.
I raised my eyebrows at them.
'What are they talking about?' I thought.
"Oh right, I nearly forgot" Wyatt said.
"Sorry Malia, we'd love to stay but we need to get going, it's really important" Wynter said.
"No worries, it's fine, run along ahead" I reassured them.
They smiled at me and nodded before walking off.
Wyatt smiled and kissed my forehead.
"I'll be back soon, I promise" Wyatt said.
I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"I trust you" I said with a smile.
He smiled before giving me one last kiss on the lips and walked away.
I sighed dreamily before walking away and heading to class.
'I wonder what's so important' I thought.
I shrugged off that feeling before entering the classroom and sitting down.
After Class
I made my way out of the classroom and wandered around.
I was trying to find Wyatt and the wolves but they were no where to be found.
'Where are they?' I thought.
I continued walking around when I noticed Addy sitting down with her head down, it looked like she was crying.
Bree was sitting next to her, rubbing her back and trying to comfort her.
I made my way over to her. "Addy, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked.
"I lost the necklace Malia, I let the wolves down" Addison explained.
I sat down next to her and wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a hug.
"It's alright Addy, we'll figure something out, I promise" I reassured her.
She didn't say anything but hug me back and letting out small sobs.
Just then the Z-alarm went off and we pulled away from the hug.
"The Z-alarm?" Addison asked confused.
"Attention, attention, monster activity at Seabrook power" the announcer said.
My eyes widened in realization, 'the wolves, Wyatt' I thought.
"It's the wolves, they went to the factory without a plan, they must've set off the alarms" Addison explained.
"They could be in trouble, we need to help them" I said.
"We will, are you in Bree?" Addison asked.
"I'm in, always" Bree said with a smile.
"We can't do this alone, we need to rally the z-team" Addison said.
"Right" Bree said, "no actually, we're going to need everyone" I said.
"Ay ay captains" Bree said with a smile.
"Come on" Addison said and we ran away to gather more people.
'Wyatt, please be ok, I can't lose you' I thought nervously.
At The Factory
We were able to gather enough people to come with us.
We made it to the factory in time, the werewolves were being handcuffed and dragged into a corner.
I frowned when I saw them struggling to break free.
I saw Wyatt struggling against the cuffs and I growled.
'Nobody hurts my boyfriend and friends' I thought.
Me and Addison looked at each other and nodded.
"NO" we both yelled together.
Dale, Zevon, and the wolves looked at us in shock and confusion.
"Addison, Malia?" Dale and Zevon said together.
(Addison)
The world has gone crazy and no one seems to listen
Gotta step in, no more maybes, and stop the demolition
(Me)
Is it hope or fear? Look in the mirror
Everything we built is coming down
Eliza came in with a few zombies and started dancing and singing.
(Eliza)
No more hesitation, it's time we start to realize
With all this separation, silence is still taking sides
So use your voice, make a choice
And tell me, are you standing with the crowd?
We all gathered together and smirked.
We faced the others and started dancing and singing.
(All)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
This is a declaration
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Of a new generation
It's now or never, we're in this together
We'll fight through the highs and the lows
No, we won't break, we're more than flesh and bone
Me and Eliza fist bumped and smirked before dancing and singing again with everyone else.
(All)
Ayy, ayy, ayy-ayy
We say no more bad blood, no more bad blood
Ayy, ayy, ayy-ayy
No way, they can't stop us, no, they can't stop us
Ayy, ayy, ayy-ayy
We say no more bad blood, no more bad blood
Ayy, ayy, ayy-ayy
No way, they can't stop us, no, they can't stop us
We all turned around and spotted Zed with a few other zombies and humans in the crowd.
(Zed)
History changes, but we lost the pages we wrote
When you lose direction, can't see the reflection you know
We came from the bottom then became the problem
Now everything's out of control
So hey, are you with me? Let's go!
I smiled and laughed.
We ran up to him and the others.
Him and Addison hugged while we smirked and fist bumped each other.
We turned our attention to everyone else and smirked before continuing to sing and dance.
(All)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
This is a declaration
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Of a new generation
It's now or never, we're in this together
We'll fight through the highs and the lows
No, we won't break, we're more than flesh and bone
We all finished singing and dancing and stared at the workers.
Zed stepped forward to his father.
"You've got to stop the demolition dad, I know how hard you worked to get this job, but if it's going to hurt the werewolves then you have to stop it" Zed begged.
Zevon looked at us and the wolves.
I stood next to Zed and held his hand. "Please, stop the demo" I begged.
He looked at us one more time and nodded.
"You're right, and Malia's right. Shut it down, stop the detonation" Zevon ordered.
"Tomorrow, when it's safe, we'll find what you're looking for, but right now you can all go home" Zevon ordered.
Everyone started cheering and clapping.
Zed picked up Addison and spun her around. I hugged her as we both squealed.
Me and Eliza fist bumped and I hugged Zed and Bree.
I turned around and saw the wolves getting uncuffed.
Wyatt immediately ran to me and spun me around. I hugged him back and laughed.
He put me down and smiled, "thank you for saving us" Wyatt said.
I smiled and nodded, "of course babe" I said with a smile.
Wyatt smiled and pulled me into a kiss.
I smiled and returned the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
The wolves whistled and howled, making me giggle.
I heard Addison and Bree squealing and Zed laughing.
Wyatt smirked and deepened the kiss, making me moan and blush.
Just then Willa came and separated us, "alright you two, enough, save it for later" Willa teased before bringing me into a hug.
We both laughed and I hugged her back.
"Thanks for coming to save us, you're the best" Willa complimented.
I smiled and nodded, "of course" I said with a smile.
Wyatt wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around his waist as we walked outside.
"We did it, we stopped the demo" I cheered.
Wyatt laughed and kissed my cheek, "all thanks to you and Addison" Wyatt said with a smile.
I smiled and laid my head on his shoulder.
I turned around and saw Zed and Addison arguing.
Apparently Addison never lost the necklace, Zed stole it from her.
He didn't want her to become a werewolf so that's why he stole it from her.
Addison got mad and annoyed and yelled at him.
"Why would I ever go to the prawn with you after what you did?" Addison said in anger.
She looked away from him and turned around.
She put on the necklace without hesitation and waited.
A blue light glowed and we all waited in anticipation to see if she was a werewolf.
She turned around and my heart nearly broke.
She was still the same, she wasn't a werewolf.
"Am I?" Addison asked with a smile.
Bree smiled and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"You look beautiful Addy, but the same beautiful you've always been" Bree said.
"She's not a werewolf" Wyatt said in sadness.
I frowned and kissed his cheek to make him feel better. He smiled sadly at me and kissed my forehead.
Just then a worker came running to Zevon and Dale, clearly scared and worried.
"Oh my gosh. Boss, boss, we got a problem" the worker said.
"What?" Zevon asked.
"The remote shorted out and now the detonation timers running" the worker explained.
"Well shut it off" Dale said.
"I can't" the worker replied.
My face grew pale and my eyes widened in fear.
"NO" I shouted, running away from them.
"Malia wait" Wyatt yelled but I ignored him and continued running, everyone else followed behind me.
I continued running, wanting to get to the factory in time and hopefully save the moonstone.
I was about to go inside but the factory exploded and I was thrown away.
"MALIA!?!?!"
I flew away from the factory and fell to the ground, rolling around and landing onto my back.
I coughed a few times and winced in pain.
Addison and Wyatt immediately ran over to me, the werewolves and the others following behind them.
They grabbed my arms and gently pulled me up.
"Are you alright, are you hurt?" Addison asked in worry.
"Don't worry, I'm fine" I reassured her.
Wyatt wrapped his arm around my waist to keep me from falling and kissed my cheek.
"What have they done?" Willa asked in fear.
Suddenly the wolves necklace turned green and their eyes flashed yellow as they all started coughing really badly.
"No" I whispered.
Now what?
