School ended shortly after and I recommended we stop in Zombietown. While I got snacks the wolves sat at a table outside, coming out with an arm full of Snacks I groan seeing Zed, Zoe, and Eliza approaching. "(Y/N)!" The young Zombie girl shrieks upon seeing me, I quickly drop the snacks on the table to catch the running Zombie. Once she's close enough I scoop her up in my arms with a bright smile. "Hello my dear! It's been too long!" I sing spinning her around in my arms.

"It has! And how come you didn't tell me you were a witch! I wouldn't have told anyone if you asked," She pout, "Well you never asked if I was," I shot back. The young Zombie girl's frown deepens, "How about if you forgive me...I'll show you some magic?" I bargain, Zoe nods eagerly. I feel a slight pressure on my back and I glance behind me to see Wyatt looking at Zoe over my shoulder. "Big Eyes!" She smiles, Wyatt shot her shy smile and gave her a slight wave. 

I place her back on the ground and I watch her run back over to Zed, "We're a pack we don't need anyone else! so..." Wynter snips at the two older Zombies. Oh dear, this can't be good. "Who doesn't want more friends?" Zoe asks, yep this definitely isn't going to be good. "Underneath all that fluffy fur I bet your a real softie." she continues, "She's not wrong" Wyatt whispers in my ear. I swing my elbow into his gut and lets out a soft grunt, he leans his head down onto my shoulder to hide his pain filled face from the others as I continue to watch the scene before me.

I watch with wide eyes as Wynter squats down to Zoe's height, "I am a mean, mean werewolf kid. I am tough and rough," Wynter growls. "Aww, you said ruff." Zoe coos, I cover a snort with my hand, but this time Wyatt pinches my side. I hold my hand closer to my hand to muffle the hiss, I shot him a glare as he look down on me smugly. "There. Even." He growls quietly. "Like a sweet little puppy dog," Zoe continues, my eyes widen all humor ceases at the small girl's words. Oh dear.

 As Zoe barks to imitate her I step forward to stop her from making any unknowingly offensive comments. "We are beasts of the Forest! We will never be tamed!" Wynter growls getting more and more worked up. Just as I reach forward to snatch Zoe up, she scratches Wynter behind her ear. I stand there in shock as Wynter goes lax and lets out small sound of bliss. It takes ALL I had not to laugh at what was happening.

Willa then shot her an annoyed look before standing. "We're nothing like you Zombies," Willa scowls. "You sorta are. Your necklace is powered right? Like an organic Z-band." Eliza points out, Willa looks at her impressed. "Your smarter than he looks," She comments nodding over to Zed. Eliza shrugs with a small smile, "Thanks," She chimes. "That necklace keeps you from fully wolfing out?" Zed questions reaching forward, "Zed!" I warn but it's too late as Willa swats at his hand and Zed is frightfully pulling it back. 

"The opposite," She snarls, "The moonstone makes us our true werewolf selves," she spoke passionately. "So without it you'd be human?" Zed asks, I cover my eyes with my hand and let out a sigh. That Zombie Idiot. "No, We'd die," Willa informs bluntly, I peak though my hands to see Zed make a face. Willa sees the need to clarify as she speaks again, "We'd be nothing," She rephrases.

"Imagine how alive you'd feel if you didn't have to tamp things down? Hold back your true selves? Right (y/n)?" Wyatt smirks, "I feel great," I chime in with a shrug. "Actually, I got this theory that Zombies might've evolved beyond their need for their Z-bands." Eliza speaks up. My eyes widen as I see a spark light up in Wyatt's eyes, I glance over at Eliza to her looking over at Zed, who laughs nervously. "Z-bands are great! They help you fit in." he counters. 

"As a smart man once said to me---why fit in if you have to hold back." I smirk, "Well that's a smarter way of putting it," I tease glancing over at Wyatt who rolls his eyes at me with a small smile. "And I think you would have a much better time at Seabrook if you just followed in our footstep." He explains. "Um...excuse me?" I question, "Join a club, play football, I'll even teach you how to tackle," He offers pointing to Wynter. "Zed I think she already---" I'm cut off by Wyatt's hand covering my mouth, he sent me a wink before pulling it off.

"Just lighten up and be more like us," Zed offers, I scoff and roll my eyes before pushing past him. The pack follows but we don't get far as Zed starts singing. "Do it like the zombies do" he chimes. I roll my eyes and cross my arms.

"Brush your fangs when you wake up. Comb your hair, do your make up. Sleep at night, don't stay up. Do it like the zombies do." He sings as a group of Zombies fall into a dance behind him. "Don't stand out when you're fittin' in. When in doubt, do the opposite" The chimes,  "Don't listen to him," I scoff,  "he's a hypocrite" Willa joins. "Do it like the zombies do," Zed sings anyway.

"All you got do is give an inch, then we gon' take it to the top. Do it like the zombies do." Zed calls as he and his zombies fall back into dance. " When the moon is full, no howling" Willa sings mockingly, "Awoo" The wolves howl from behind us. "Don't run in the halls, no growling" Wyatt smirks, I mockingly growl from behind Wyatt. "Let's go to the mall, start styling" Willa sings as me, Wynter and her shake in to a shemmy before all four of mockingly do the zombie dance. But seems Zed is getting a kick out of it. "Do it like the zombies do" We chime walking away.

"Trim your claws, get a manicure." Willa sings as well strut in line as twittles her fingers out, "Cut your fangs, leave it on the floor" Wyatt sings next with his hand on Willa's shoulder as he bares his fangs. "Stop the glow, no shining," I sing as I keep my hand on Wyatt's shoulder and flash my green eyes, "Now wag your tail like a Labrador" Wynter snorts as she places her hand on my shoulder before shimming like she's wagging a tail. "Do it like zombies do" We chime as Zed ducks down between me and Wynter.

"All you got do is give an inch then we gon' take it to the top." Zed sings as he pulls Wynter away from us, Wyatt and I are quick to take her ands and pull her back over. "Do it like the zombies do, don't stop" We sing as we put Wynter the farthest away from Zed as we can.

"Stand up, stand up, stand up straight, do your homework." Zed sings as he jerks Wyatt to stand straight, "Smile a lot when you network" He gestures over to Willa. "Did I mention no one gets hurt?" He chuckles just before elbowing Wyatt in the gut, I scoff and give a solid tap to the back of his knee as he walk away making him stumble. Wyatt smirks smugly and throws his arm over my shoulder as the pack walks further down the street.

"Do it like the zombies do." We chimes, "I hope you're open to my advice" Zed sings as he wraps both his arms around Wyatt's and Willa's. I shot him a glare as I'm pushed away and he hands them both a -Zed for Prez- hat. "Oh, it's invaluable to us, right?" Willa snips as she shot him the same look, but she still puts it on. I snort out a laugh as Wyatt smells it first. "Huh, sounds like this could be a paradise" Wyatt sings with a big fake smile as he shakes hands with Zed. "Do it like the zombies do" They sing as they wave at him goodbye. I scowl walking up to them and jerking their hats off and throwing them in Zed direction.

"Why should we change? They should be like us" Willa calls as we all gather in a big group,  "Yeah, he may eat brains, but he's got no guts" I scoff giving him a once over. "He's gone insane, yeah, he's acting nuts" Wyatt smirks nudging me a little with a smirk. "Come on, we've got moves to bust" He continues as we waves us off, "Woah" Willa calls after us.

"All you got do is give an inch then we gon' take it to the top. Do it like the zombies do, don't stop. Do it like the zombies do." We all sing as both Zombies and Werewolves form one big dance group. In the middle of it Zed is tosses a football, however after it all ended Wyatt taps my shoulder and points a Wynter. I crackle in laughter as I watch her tackle Zed. As soon as she pop back up she howls, I follow her lead and howl with the pack. Wyatt's head snaps over to be with a big grin, "you did that perfectly!" He grins. I give him a slightly shrug and a sly smile. "I'm a great listener my love," I tease.

"Ow!" Zed calls, I sighs and shake my head before walking over to him to check over. Once I determine nothing's wrong with him I pat his head and walk back to the pack. "Wait! (y/n)! Can you babysit Zoe tonight!" He calls from the ground. I let out a slight laugh, "Sure thing Zed just drop her off at the usual time," I call back with a wave. "The Zombie-pup?" Wyatt questions, "Yeah, her name is Zoe. I've been babysitting her since forever and on occasion Zed too," I smirk.

Wyatt shakes his head, "Since I'm babysitting I won't be at the Den tonight." I call to Willa. "That's fine, We'll see you at school tomorrow then," Willa waves off, "Actually would it be okay I came around your place?" Wyatt questions me. I shot a questioning look over to Willa who simple shrugs. "Sure, I don't mind." I smile, "You wanna come with me now?" I offer pointing the direction of my house. Wyatt nods his head with a shy smile, "I see you later tonight!" He calls to the pack as he follows me. 

I walk us out of Zombie town and down one block to my house. "Oh wow!" Wyatt gasps, "I guess, my dad makes good money," I shrug, "What does your dad do?" He questions. "He's a doctor." I answer, "A really good one, which means he almost never home." I sigh. "Well where's your mom?" He questions, "The Afterlife." I answer simply. Wyatt goes quiet as I unlock the front door. 

"If you don't want to stay when Zoe get's here it's okay if you leave." I offer as I kick my shoes off at the door. Wyatt follows my lead and kicks off his shoes at the door, "I'll stay if you want me to and I'll leave if you want that instead." He replies as his eyes wonder the the multiple picture frames. I hang as many as I can to make the house seem more alive, but it only does so much.

"She looks like you," he calls as he points to one of the pictures, glancing at it quickly I already know which one it is. "That my mom," I smile, "She's pretty, like you." He smiles. "You mean I'm pretty like her," I correct. Wyatt shrugs, "Either or, your both pretty." He shrugs. I roll my eyes at him with a small smile. "I need to work on a paper, your welcome to the house and food." I smile as I walk to the living room to work on the the first paper I started. 

Soon after I sat down Wyatt comes in with an arms full of food, "Are you sure you eat that much?" I question with a smirk. Wyatt looks down at the food in his hands, "If I can eat a whole deer by myself I can eat this." He nods as he sat down beside me. To my surprise he lets me work in quiet only occasionally he would stop me to ask what a certain food in his small horde was called.

Wyatt manages to finish his food by the time I get to final editing. Just as I put it away the doorbell rings, the ring triggers Wyatt's howl and I stifle a laugh as I answer the door. Standing there is Zed holding Zoe. "Oh he's here," Zed grumbles as Wyatt comes around the corner. "He is, Is that a problem?" I challenge. "NO!" Zoe squeals, I look at Zed expectantly. "No that fine," He sighs, "Mmhmm, I thought so," I muse as I take Zoe into my arms. Zed reaches into his pocket and pulls out the a small fold of money, "It'll only be for a few hours, I'll come get her around nine." He informs handing me the money. 

I stick it into my back pocket before smiling, "See you later Zed," I call as I close the door. I place Zoe back on the floor and she automatically runs over to Wyatt. "Hi Mr. Werewolf!" She grins, "Hi there Zombie-pup." he chuckles. "(y/n)! You promised to show me magic!" Zoe wines, I cross my arms and let out a laugh. "Alright! Alright! I get it Zoe." I smile, "Come on let's go to the living room.

"Hark, my child, come listen close Let me tell you of a tale" I sing softly, "Of a people cursed, a land destroyed Of a darkness that prevailed. A witch kingdom once tall and proud. Was ruled by Crochan queens." I call as I snap my fingers making the lights in the room do out. I swirl my hands in circles and creating glowing green figures. "Rhiannon fair was last of these For hatred stirred beneath." I continue, I make the figures dance in the air all around the room.

"The Crochan queens were thus betrayed By those of iron teeth. Three days, three nights the battled raged. Til every heartbeat ceased" I croon as I create more more figures to play out a battle, "And as she fell, Rhiannon last Stretched out a vengeful hand. 'Heed my words and heed my curse Or ne'er return to this here land.' She said blood to blood And soul to soul Together this was done And only together Can it be undone" I sing softly as I create a dying woman casting a spell of her own.

"Be the bridge, be the light And when the iron melts. When flowers spring from killing fields, Only then the land shall be won" I chime as I create glowing flowers in the air. "Five hundred years the land was dry. All witches lost and scattered. Blackbeak, Blueblood, Yellowlegs. Their magic dead and shattered" I belt out as I show three figure trying to cast magic only to fail and twist their body into heartbreak.

"With Crochans gone, hope there was none. To bind and break the curse, Til silver-haired and crooked hearted  Manon learned of her birth." I sing as I show a woman looking down at her hands. "Wing Leader and Blackbeak heir. Devourer of souls, The long lost child of Crochan blood With eyes of burning gold. Both ancient queen, iron warrior With Thirteen at her side They crowned her with a ring of stars. A people unified." I sing. I create two figures, one male and one female, coming together only to form one woman. She had silver hair wore a crown of stars and I had to focus extra hard to make her eyes glow gold.

"Blood to blood And soul to soul, Together this was done And only together, Can it be undone." I chant as I remake the male and female figures and make them dance together in the air. "Be the bridge, be the light. And when the iron melts, When flowers spring from killing fields. Only then the land shall be won." I sing as make the two figures collide and create an explosion of beautiful flowers.

"In final days a king arose To bathe the world in blood. High Queen Manon would not be cowed By his demonic flood. With every clan of witches, Met she mortals, met she fae. And in the hills of Terrasen. The last stand of light was made," I chat as each flower turns in a fairy, a witch or, a human girls.

"With magic dark and cunning, Demons sought to breach the wall. Should they have broken Orynth's gates, Then all Erilea fall. So Thirteen left High Queen to live And Yielded up their live. Blood unified, blood payment made Flowers bloomed and dead land sighed." I call as all the women but the one with silver hair wearing the crown of stars and glowing yellow eyes fall down and tuned to dust, but in that dust I turned them in flowers.

"Blood to blood And soul to soul, Together this was done And only together has it been undone." I drawl out as I make a man and a woman start to dance again. "These the bridge, these the light. Here now the iron melts, Here flowers spring from killing fields. Here now the land is won." I call as the couple start to dance in a a field of flowers.  "See flowers spring from killing fields, See now your land is won" I chime, as the couple falls to lay in the field before turning to dust.

Looking back at Zoe I find her now sitting in Wyatt's lap as they both stare at the air in wonder. "So? Am I forgiven?" I question the Zombie girl, Zoe's head snaps to me before nodding eagerly. "That's a relief. Are you hungry my dear?" I question with a soft smile, "YES!" She grins brightly. "Let get you something to eat them," I laugh, I guide her to the kitchen where I make her a quick bite to eat. As I finish up the cooking I feel arms wrap themselves around me, "Your really good with pups you know that?" Wyatt complements. 

"Is that so?" I laugh, "Defiantly, You should do a show like that for the were-pups some time." he smiles. "I'll put that on my to-do list." I chuckle, "Leave her alone Wyatt! I'm Hungry!" Zoe wines from the table. I laugh before pulling away from Wyatt with Zoe's plate in hand, "Here you go my dear," I smile. "Thank you (Y/n)! Thank you for letting her go before I starve Mr. Werewolf." Zoe chimes before digging in, "I couldn't let you starve now could I Zombie-Pup?" Wyatt laughs. "Mr. Werewolf and Zombie-Pup? What's my nickname?" I pout playfully, the two look at each other. Miss Witch Doctor!" Zoe grins, I roll my eyes "you only say that because Zed calls me that." I scoff. "It's true though." She shot back, I let out a laugh. "I'll take what I can get." I muse with a defeated sigh.

After Zoe ate we spent the rest of the night in the living room watch Tv, Eventually Zoe ended up between Wyatt's legs as he braided her hair. It was cute to watch the two but the knock at the door signaled time was up. I let Wyatt finish his last braid before taking Zoe to the door. Zed stood there with a tired smile, "hey guys," He smiles. "Already to go Zoe?" He questions, "Can I stay here with (y/n) and Wyatt?" She questions. Zed looks at her with wide eyes. "Really?" He gasps. "What can I say? She had a good time." Wyatt spoke smugly as he comes around the corner. I scoff, "More like she had a good time with you! You've replaced me." I huff playfully. "I wouldn't say that..." Wyatt drags as he wraps an arm around my waste.

Zed clears his throat bringing his attention back him, "Well we'll be going now. Thanks again (y/n) and uh...Wyatt." He mumbles before taking his sister home. I look over at Wyatt with a smile, I reach into my pocket and pull out the cash Zed gave me before giving Wyatt half. "You don't have to," He chuckles, "But I wanted to," I shot back. "It's getting late, you should get home before the patrol officers try to arrest you." I smile, Wyatt nods his head and stepped off the porch. But he turns back as places a kiss to my cheek, "Bye (y/n)" He whispers softly. He doesn't let me answer before he's running off into the night.
