frist meeting.
Eliza wasn't really sure about talking to the Werewolf's, but Zed needed all the votes he could get if he wanted to beat Bucky.
"hello Werewolfs i'm Zed, Zombie football star, presidential hopeful" Zed held out his hand for a handshake the Werewolf's just looked at him Zed put his arm down.
"when Zombies came to Seabrook it was really hard for us to adjust too" Eliza said hoping to find common ground with the Werewolf's. The leader of the group.. Willa?
yes that had too be her name, spoke up "Were nothing like you Zombies" Eliza looked at her "you sort of are. Your necklace is powered right? Sort of like an organic Z-band"
"your smarter then he looks" Willa's expression was emotionless but Eliza could tell her eyes were smiling. Eliza felt her checks heat up she smiled "thanks"
"that necklace keeps you from fully wolfing out?" Zed asked Willa looked at him the light in her eyes was gone "the opposite. Our moonstones make us our true werewolf selfs"
"so without it you'd be human?" Zed asked "no we'd die, We'd be nothing" there was an uncomfortable quiet no one really knew what to say.
"Imagine how alive you'd feel if you didn't have to tamp things down. Hold back your true selves." Eliza said her eyes were shining she was very passionate about this topic, "Actually, I've got this theory that zombies might've evolved beyond their need for Z-bands."
Willa looked at Eliza Cute she thought to herself.
the next day...
Eliza was sitting at lunch with Zed, Bree, Bonzo and Addison. She couldn't help but look at Willa. "Eliza?"
Eliza snapped out of her trance. "huh?"
"are you ok? you seem distracted.." Addison asked. "yeah i'm good! just thinking about.. Prawn I guess."
Addison smiled "do you have anyone you want to ask out?" Eliza looked at Willa , Willa feeling eyes on her looked back. Eliza flushed red and quickly looked away. "nope, i'm probably just going to go solo this year"
THE PRAWN
this was moments after they had all risked there lives to get the moonstone back. Everyone was dancing, except Willa who was standing alone by the food table Eilza went up to her "hey- Willa cut her off
Shh. I don't want to miss this" Eliza looked over and saw Wyatt from across the room. He was talking to Wytner whatever he was saying made her smile then they hand in hand went to dance.
Willa smiled "nice job brother" Eliza looked at her "what was that about?" Willa looked at her "he just confessed his love to her, it's about time too ive been waiting forever to see those two get together"
"turns out they both liked each other but didn't konw what to say until now" Willa said "I wonder why that is" Eliza wondered
"near death probably" Eliza laughed Willa smiled "i'm serous! near death exprices bring people closer together, it makes you think and puts things in perspective like if we all really did die down there Wyatt would never had told Wytner how he felt. You konw? why do people wait so long for things they want to happen?
why don't they make it happen themselves?"
"yeah.." Eliza moved closer to Willa they both looked at there friends dancing the night away. Eliza slowly reached out her hand toward Willa, Willa did the same there hands slowly found each other.
Eliza looked down and smiled there hands were perfectly intertwined. Willa looked at Eliza, smiling "what took you so long?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing"
"I don't konw it just felt it was the right moment tonight has been.. magical so i figured why not spend it with a magical girl?" Willa said Eliza blushed just then the lihgts dimmed and a slow song came on.
"sooo do you want to go dance?" Eliza asked Willa smiled at her "with you? always"
After the dance the two looked at each other for a long moment. "this could get us into so much trouble" Eliza smiled Willa smiled back. "lucky for you i konw all about trouble." Willa smirked
"so Willa- I konw this is kind of fast...
"yeah?"
"would you ever- want to go out with me?"
"like as a couple?"
"I mean if you don't want too.." Eilza never really lost her words but there was something about Willa that made her speechless, it was the good kind of speechless the kind that you can say nothing and just feel all warm and nice inside.
Then without thinking Willa kissed her.
Eliza was shocked at first but then she leaned into it. Eliza had never kissed a girl before. She never thought she would get to kiss someone as amazing as Willa.
but she was.
they pulled back breathless. Eilza looked at Willa in wonder. "so is it always like that?"
Willa slowly shook her head and looked at Eliza, the way she looked at her made Eliza feel like she was the only person in the room. Eliza liked that. "no" she whispered a mix of awe and wonder in her voice "it's never like that"
