Disclaimer: The Secret Saturdays does not belong to me.
Please note that this story is Major AU.
Summary: The Saturdays are sent to a town to investigate some black wolf sightings. They meet Zak, a kid who roams the forest next to the town. But Zak is the black wolf and also has Cryptid powers; can the young hybrid keep his secrets safe? Especially after Argost seems to know that he's hiding something. And on top of all that the Saturdays and the Secret Scientists are starting to get a little suspicious.
Howl Of The Wolf
Chapter 11: A Wet Wolf Still Swims
"Where's Zak?" Doyle asked the next morning, just now realizing the troublemaker had been absent for breakfast and hadn't been seen since the day before.
"Probably filling some buckets with water…" Doc sighed in anticipation of the soggy day to come.
Though filling buckets he was not, Zak was doing something with water. He had taken to swimming in the big pool-like thing where the Saturdays had some submarine-type thing. (AN: Remember that place from the episode Guess Who's Going To Be Dinner?)
Because he did not go exploring in the surrounding forest the day before, or the night before, once he woke up he decided that it was a good time to do so, after breakfast of course, though he only grabbed something to gobble down quickly.
The forest in the morning hours was peaceful. There had been some birds chirping away at Zak as he passed by.
After exploring for awhile, Zak went back to explore more of the headquarters. During this exploration he stumbled upon the area he was currently swimming in.
Zak had fun seeing how far down he could dive before having to come up for air.
But, alas, the curious hybrid's fun could not last forever, as it was soon lunchtime and he got hungry.
He made his way back up to the kitchen-like room for lunch, dripping a trail of water the entire way.
Drew was less than pleased with her new wet floor. Firmly scolding Zak and asking him where he got all wet.
However, Zak wasn't really listening to the scolding but he did manage to catch the question.
So he told them the truth, he'd been exploring and found the wet wonderland. And, being the fun-loving kid he was, decided to go for a swim.
They looked annoyed, but continued eating anyway.
It was after lunch when Fiskerton declared that Zak smelled like wet dog. Zak glared at this comment, but before he could retort, there was an incoming call.
It was the Secret Scientists reporting a Cryptid attacking a city.
Doc and Drew agreed to go and help.
After the Secret Scientists hung up, Zak jumped up and down, excited.
"Ooh! Ooh! I wanna go! I wanna go!"
Drew sighed. "I don't know…" She didn't want to be rewarding Zak's bad behavior.
"We might need his help." Doc pointed out. He didn't want to reward Zak either, but it was true that Zak could help them with the Cryptid.
"Fine, you can go-"
"Yay!" Zak exclaimed happily.
"But," Drew continued "You need to go clean up the water trail you made."
"Ok."
"And disable whatever pranks you had set up for today."
"Aw…"
Though unhappy about it, in the end Zak obliged with her conditions, dried his water trail and took down his pranks, but not without some muttering about how he had been looking forward to seeing the traps being sprung.
Zak: Aw…. I wanted to see them falling into my traps….. *Pouts*
White Wolf: And mine….. *Whines*
Zak: When did you set up traps?
*Suddenly Zak is soaking wet with a bucket on his head*
White Wolf: Just now. *Grins*
Zak: *Grumbles*
So this was more of a filler chapter. And short. But hey, at least it's a chapter. ^_^
Please review!
