A/N: So here we go, another chapter, we are almost to the end, thank you to the people still with me. I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
Chapter 8
Izzy wraps a blanket around Saskia, they could all feel the effects now, though some were worse than others.
Willa hands a blanket to Shane who wraps it around Mara who was sat in his lap.
Wyatt hands some water to Lydia before looking at Izzy, he takes her hand, cupping her face with the other. "I'm so sorry Izzy" he sighs he'd promised he wouldn't let her suffer the same fate as her mother and now they all were.
Izzy rests her hand on his chest, "you did everything right" she promises.
Wyatt nods resting his forehead against hers. They didn't even know how much time they had left.
They sense someone else arrive then and look up to see Zed stood there.
"They were wrong to destroy Seabrook Power. And I was wrong about werewolves" apologises Zed. "You have every right to fight for who you are" he adds.
"Yeah but what are we now zombie?" asks Wyatt not bothering to keep the bite out of his words, his arm wrapping around Izzy, holding her against him. Willa shifting defensively next to them.
"You're fierce, proud werewolves" replies Zed.
"Yeah, well they think we're monsters" retorts Willa.
"We are monsters" smiles Zed.
Willa and Wyatt share a look while Izzy looks at Zed, her own face breaking into a smile, "what do you have in mind?" she asks.
"I say monsters are meant to break rules, not follow them" answers Zed. "I say we crash the prawn" he clarifies.
Izzy looks up at Wyatt who mulls it over before smiling and they both turn to Willa.
Willa thinks it over before nodding, "lets show these people how monsters rock it" she agrees with a smile.
"Great" beams Zed, "do you guys have formal clothes?" he asks.
"We have some stuff that will work. Give us an hour, we'll meet you in zombietown" answers Willa.
"Okay, we'll see you then, don't be late" smiles Zed as he turns and heads out.
"Are we really going to do this?" asks Wyatt looking at Willa.
"What do we have to lose?" counters Izzy.
"She's right, one night. Show Seabrook how the wolves party, and add some colour to their likely boring palette" snorts Willa.
"Mix up the pastels, now that sounds like a plan" agrees Izzy.
Wyatt looks between them before smiling and kissing the top of Izzy's head, "see you in formalwear, wild horses couldn't keep me away" he assures.
"Then lets make this a night to remember" smiles Izzy.
Wyatt checked his hair once more as he and the other male wolves waited for the girls to join them.
Shane straightened his tie turning to Wyatt to say something when his eyes widen.
Wyatt looks at him on confusion before he felt the shift and he turned with a smile that quickly became awed, "wow" he murmurs softly when he sees Izzy walk into the room with the others, but she was the only one he saw.
Her dress was black clinging to her torso before flaring out, the front stopping above her knee while the back was longer. It was covered with a black fur bolero. The only colour was the dark blue sparkling section around the sweetheart neckline. And a pair of black heels that made her legs look like they went on for miles.
"You clean up nice" teases Izzy as she stops in front of him, her heels evening out their heights.
"And you look beautiful" answers Wyatt.
Izzy smiles brushing a loose strand of her half up half down do behind her ear.
Wyatt holds out his hand, "will you crash the prawn with me?" he asks.
Izzy laughs and takes his hand letting him twirl her, "I'd love to crash the prawn with you" assures Izzy as he catches her, his hand resting on her hip.
"Kissy faces later, crash the prawn now" reminds Wynter.
"Then lets meet the zombies and add some colour to his pastel fed nightmare" decides Willa.
"Ah before we do, got to go with tradition" interrupts Wyatt as he pulls out a corsage of dark blue flowers, the other guys all producing one as well.
Izzy rolls her eyes but doesn't bother to fight the smile on her face as Wyatt slides it onto her wrist before kissing just above it, over their pairing mark.
"Now we can go" he finishes and they head out of the den.
As they reach zombietown they find the teenage zombies waiting in their own formalwear.
"Wow you guys look great" nods Zed approvingly.
"We know how to make things look good" shrugs Willa.
"You really do, that outfit looks amazing on you Willa" compliments Eliza.
"Thanks, you look really nice too" smiles Willa.
Wyatt's eyes widen marginally as he looks between his sister and Eliza, before glancing down at Izzy who just smiles.
"Didn't see that one coming" he admits quietly.
"I don't think she did either" agrees Izzy.
"Now lets crash the prawn" calls Zed as they head out.
It doesn't take them long to reach the school, just in time to see a limo pull away revealing Bucky and the Aceys. All of whom immediately look affronted save Lacey at seeing them.
"You can't be here there are laws against this" protests Bucky.
"Bad laws are meant to be broken" answers Zed.
"And monsters don't follow the rules" notes Eliza and Zed high fives her.
"Zombies are a part of Seabrook Bucky and we deserve to be here" she reminds pointedly.
"And we're apart of Seabrook too" adds Wyatt looping his arm around Izzy, "the originals in fact" he smirks.
Bucky turns to the alarm then, "someone's got to stop you" he says going to pull it.
Willa moves forwards her eyes flashing and her claws raised as she growls menacingly.
Bucky lets out a small squeak before sighing, "welcome to prawn" he huffs before heading inside.
Willa's necklace takes on a green glow and she starts to cough.
Eliza hurries forwards resting her hand on her arm and Willa looks at her gratefully allowing her to guide her inside. The others following.
As they get inside it was a pastel themed as they'd expected.
Wyatt looks around, stood next to the humans and the zombies a lot of the wolves seemed to look even sicker, and Willa's cough a brutal reminder that their time was running out.
A hand lacing with his pulls him back and he looks at Izzy.
"Dance with me?" she asks.
Wyatt smiles, "for as long as you want" he answers leading her out onto the dancefloor.
Her arms looping around his shoulders, while Wyatt's settle around Izzy's waist.
Their smiles grow when they see Addison and Zed join them.
Someday (reprise) 😊
But despite the music and the fairly romantic setting the general feeling of weakness in the pack stopped them getting lost in it.
Liam leaned against Willa looking about ready to pass out. And while Shane and Mara were also dancing, Shane seemed to be almost holding her up.
Wynter and Dean were sat shoulder to shoulder, only a few of them looked even remotely healthy.
And Wyatt can't help the sigh that escapes him before he turns his attention back to Izzy. She still looked relatively healthy, and just as beautiful as far as Wyatt was concerned.
"What?" she asks seeing him gazing at her.
"I love you" smiles Wyatt.
Izzy smiles as well, "I love you too" she replies resting her forehead against his as they sway to the music.
Until suddenly the entire room begins to shake and they pull back looking around as people start to panic.
"Wolves to me" yells Willa, her alpha instincts flaring as she reaches out through the pack bonds, accounting for each of the wolves with them.
"We need to get out now" yells Wyatt keeping hold of Izzy's hand as they move out of the gym and through the corridor only for a giant crack to rip through the middle.
Izzy yanks Wyatt back from the edge.
Willa doing likewise for Eliza who lands against her, Willa wrapping her arms around Eliza without even thinking about it.
"The energy from the moonstone must've created a Faultline" theories Zed. "If we follow this crack it may lead us to the moonstone" he adds.
"So it isn't destroyed, only buried" smiles Addison.
"We have to get to it" implores Wynter.
"Quickly while we still can" nods Willa jumping down into the hole.
Wyatt follows her, turning to help Wynter and then Izzy through, the other wolves following them.
Willa scans the tunnel that had been created, they were so close, they had to get to it.
"It's this way, I can see the light. Its coming from Seabrook Power" she calls as she moves off.
Wyatt follows behind her, keeping hold of Izzy's hand as they wind through the tunnel.
Finally Willa emerges in what had obviously once been an underground room, and there in the middle of it, was the moonstone.
"Here it is" she cries excitedly.
The wolves surround it, pressing their necklaces to it and the green glow instantly fades becoming the vibrant bright blue instead. As their hands close around them they feel the strength return, and it felt even stronger than it had before.
Their eyes flash yellow as they let out triumphant snarls, finally whole again.
But before they can celebrate the room shakes again and Saskia can't contain a small scream as debris lands next to her.
"We have to move it out of here" warns Willa.
"Legend says that together, our pack can move the stone" recalls Wyatt.
"All of us" nods Willa as they reattach their necklaces before taking hold of the cage surrounding the moonstone.
But despite them getting it off the ground it crashes back down, "its too heavy" states Wynter.
"There's not enough of us" realises Willa looking around, not all the wolves had gone in the same direction and the small number of them couldn't do it even with fully charged necklaces.
"Then maybe you need to expand your pack" comes Addison's voice as she hurries into the room followed by zombies and humans.
"Addison?" asks Willa in surprise.
The room shakes again and Wyatt pulls Izzy out of the way of a rock that falls.
"We're here to help. Come on everyone we've got this" urges Addison.
The others surround the cage grabbing hold of it. Eliza and Willa sharing a smile as her hand lands next to Willa's.
"Come on before its too late, we got this" calls Addison.
They lift again and this time there's enough of them.
But as they move towards the hole the ground shakes again and a slab of rock slams down over it.
"The chambers collapsed, we can't carry the moonstone through" realises Wyatt.
Eliza turns to Zed an idea forming in her head.
"Zed, your z-band its still broken. Take it off and lift the slab" she urges.
Zed's eyes widen.
"You can do this Zed" promises Eliza.
"I'm not ready, what if I can't control it?" asks Zed the old fear filling him at the thought.
Addison reaches out resting her hand on his shoulder, "Zed you have too" she pleads.
Zed looks around at the terrified faces and he nods his resolve settling.
Pulling off his z-band he instantly feels the change, turning he grabs the slab with a growl and starts to heave.
As he lifts it up the others carry the moonstone through.
Once they make it through Zed feels his control slipping and the slab slides from his hands slamming back down.
"No, Zed" cries Addison pushing forwards looking at the dust.
A moment later they see a flash of light and Zed walks out of the dust with a smile looking like himself again.
Everyone cheers and Addison breathes a sigh of relief throwing her arms around him, "Zed are you okay?" she demands.
"Yeah I'm me" nods Zed with a smile.
Wynter lets out an excited squeal jumping up and down, "we did it, we crushed it, we nailed it. We so rock" she exclaims.
She turns to look at Willa, "too much?" she asks.
Willa smiles, "perfect" she assures. "We did it" she beams.
Izzy breathes a sigh of relief and looks at Wyatt who closes the gap between them, kissing her soundly.
Eliza picks up her tablet and points it at Zed and Addison, "say Brains" she orders.
"Brains" they both echo as she takes the picture.
"We're getting out first zombie on the prawn wall of fame" nods Eliza.
"And maybe our first werewolves as well" adds Addison looking at Wyatt and Izzy who break apart but don't let go of each other.
The wolves throw back their heads and howl.
Everyone else joins in and not a word of it makes sense, until Bonzo lets out his own and Wyatt turns to him looking impressed, "you said that perfectly" he compliments.
Bonzo smiles.
"Bonzo's got an ear for languages" assures Bree the pride evident in her voice, and to the wolves the scent of arousal and love as well.
