Chapter 3 The Deal
(Eliza's POV)
"What is going on?" Eliza asks as Wyatt pulls her behind some bushes. "The humans their tearing down my home." Wyatt says. "Why?" Eliza asks. "You tell me." Wyatt says glaring at her. "Hey, I didn't know this was happening till just now. I have no part in this." Eliza says gesturing to all around them. "Either way my pack won't have a place to live if this keeps up." Wyatt says. "Your pack?" Eliza asks. "Yes, what did you think I was some kind of lone wolf?" Wyatt asks. "Well, yeah, aren't most lone wolfs more aggressive?" Eliza asks. "Again, with the assumptions." Wyatt says shaking his head with a chuckle. "Well, can you really blame me?" Eliza says. "No, I guess not- Look out!" Wyatt pulls Eliza to his chest and rolls them away from another falling tree.
"Are you okay?" Wyatt asks. "Yeah, um, can you get off me?" Eliza grunts. "Sorry, I didn't break anything did I?" Wyatt asks getting off her. "No, you just popped my back so I guess I should thank you for that." Eliza says as she sits up and stretches her arms. "You should get home it's not safe for you." Wyatt says pulling her up to her feet and leading her to the lot where her car is parked. "Wait, what was so important that you wanted me to come out here?" Eliza asks. "You can't tell anyone about me, my pack or the Moonstone." Wyatt says. "That's it? Really?" Eliza asks. "Yes, I don't think you realize how important the Moonstone is to my pack." Wyatt says taking his necklace back. "Hey! Give it back!" Eliza says trying to reach for it. "No, Eliza without this I will die." Wyatt says.
"What?" Eliza says. "Without the Moonstone my pack dies, the elders are already getting sick because our Moonstone is losing its light." Wyatt says securing his Moonstone around his neck. "I can't I have to at least tell my friends." Eliza says shaking her head. "No! You can't if more humans find out about the Moonstone again, they will be trying and take it and this time for good." Wyatt says. "I've never kept anything from them." Eliza says. "This time you're going to have to, please Eliza. Don't tell them. Or anyone." Wyatt says. "Fine, but I want something in return." Eliza says. "Okay, what?" Wyatt asks. "I want to know everything there is to know about werewolves. That's my deal." Eliza says. "I can't I've already told you too much." Wyatt says. "Then I can't help you." Eliza says pulling out her keys about to open her door.
"I can't risk our secrets getting out more than they already have." Wyatt says. "Then take the deal this way I'm the only one who knows and I won't tell. Wyatt, you can trust me." Eliza says. "Really because a second ago you were thinking about telling your friends everything." Wyatt says crossing his arms over his chest. "Your right I was and then I realized how serious your situation is." Eliza says sincerely. "Fine, but you tell no one. Deal?" Wyatt says. "Deal." Eliza says with a smile. "Okay, now you seriously need to get out of here." Wyatt says. Eliza nods unlocking her car. Taking one last look at Wyatt before he runs back into the forest. Eliza pulls out and heads back home.
When she arrives, she notices her mom's car is not in the car in the driveway. Guess she's working late tonight. Grabbing her phone and her backpack she locks her car and heads inside the house. Taking her stuff up to her room before she heads downstairs to make a snack. Half-way through eating it her phone goes off.
Eliza Zed
Hey, what's up?
Nothing, other than my dad having the stomach flu.
Oh, is he going to be, okay?
Yeah, he just can't leave his room. Which brings me to my question, will you watch Zoey tonight?
Tonight? Zed I have my science far project to work on and my invention.
I know, it's last minute.
You have a date with Addison, don't you?
Yeah.
Fine, but you owe me.
You're the best.
When is Zoey coming over?
We are heading over now.
Whatever has she eaten?
No, my dad was going to feed her, but you know what happened.
Okay, see you in a few.
Eliza hangs up finishes her snack and cleans her plate, once the that is done the doorbell rings. Eliza opens the door.
"Hey guys, hey Zoey." Eliza says as she opens the door wider for them.
"HI, Eliza!" Zoey says hugging her waist. Then she runs to the living room turning on the TV.
"Thank you so much for doing this." Addison says.
"You're welcome, but Zed and now you owe me big time." Eliza says.
"What why does Addison owe you?" Zed asks.
"You are both at fault, now I'm behind schedule with my project." Eliza says.
"Can't you do it while watching Zoey?" Addison asks.
"No, I working with some very dangerous chemicals. I don't want Zoey to get hurt." Eliza says.
"Fair enough, okay we both owe you." Zed says.
"Whenever or whatever you need us for we will be there. No questions asked." Addison agreed.
"Great. So, when are you picking her up?" Eliza asks.
"We'll be by to pick her up around 10." Zed says.
"Alight see you then." Eliza says.
"Thanks again Eliza." Addison says. Eliza nods. Zed and Addison walk back to her car and drive off. Eliza closes her door and heads to the living room.
"Hey Zoey, what do you what to do?" Eliza asks as she sits on the couch. "Can we watch Twilight?" Zoey asks. "Twilight? Are you old enough to watch that movie?" Eliza asks. (It's a fair question.) "Yes. I'm old enough to watch the first two, the last three I have to wait until I'm 15." Zoey says. "Alright we can watch it." Eliza says. "Yay!" Zoey says. "But, first do you want to eat now or later?" Eliza asks. "Um, can you ask me again later?" Zoey asks. Eliza nods.
Eliza gets up and heads over to the movie case and pulls out Twilight. Addison wanted to make sure she had her own copies. Addison really likes the vampires. Shaking her head, she puts the movie in the DVD player, then she grabs the remote and presses play.
"I'll be right back." Eliza says. Zoey nods not taking her eyes off the screen. Eliza heads up to her room and grabs her blueprints for her science project. Heading back downstairs she sat down and half paying attention to the movie. I have got to get some samples then I can test my theory. Eliza looks up when Zoey pulls on her sleeve. "Edward gets exposed, that's always great." Eliza says with sarcasm. Zoey nods enthusiastically missing Eliza's sarcasm completely.
Zoey gets hungry just before the baseball scene. Eliza pauses the movie and orders pizza. When it arrives, Eliza moves herself and Zoey to the dining room table. Eliza gets Zoey a cup of lime soda with a curly straw. While they eat Eliza listens as Zoey tells her who her favorite characters are.
"So, Charlie, Alice, and Carlisle are your favorites." Eliza says. "Yes, both Charlie and Carlisle are great dads like mine and Alice is just so fun! Who are you favorites?" Zoey asks then wipes her mouth on a napkin. "I like Roseline, Jasper, and Esme." Eliza says. "Rosaline? But she's mean! And Jasper can't control himself." Zoey says. "I've read the books and seen all the films. The books give you more knowledge of their stories." Eliza says. "Can I read the books?" Zoey asks after taking her last bite of pizza. "Maybe when you're a little older." Eliza promised. "Okay." Zoey says. "Are you finished?" Eliza asks. "Yes, thank you for the pizza!" Zoey says as she finishes off her soda. "You're welcome, why don't you continue the movie and I'll be right over." Eliza says standing up and gathering their plates and cups.
Zoey gets up and sits back on the couch pressing play. Eliza finishes the dishes and sets them to dry before she joins Zoey on the couch.
(Time skip to the end of the movie brought to you by the night)
As the credits start to roll Eliza looks at the time seeing that it was almost time for Zoey to go home.
"Can we watch New Moon?" Zoey asks. "Sorry, Zo, Zed and Addison will be here in 10 minutes to pick you up." Eliza says as she gets up taking the disc out and putting in the case. "Aw, okay." Zoey says getting off the couch. "Hey next time, okay?" Eliza says kneeling down at Zoey's level. "Or, you could watch it and tell me who else that you like." Zoey says. "Or I could do that." Eliza says. "Please, Eliza?" Zoey looks at her with puppy dog eyes. "No, fair you know I can't say no now." Eliza says the gets up when the doorbell rings. She opens the door to see Addison.
"Hey, Zed in the car?" Eliza asks.
"Yeah, Zoey are you ready to go?" Addison asks.
"Yes, thanks so much Eliza." Zoey says as she hugs Eliza's legs.
"You're welcome, tell Zed he has to read you two stories tonight." Eliza says.
"Okay and you will watch the movie?" Zoey asks.
"I promise." Eliza says.
"What movie?" Addison asks as Zoey heads to the car with a wave.
"New Moon." Eliza says with a groan.
"Oh, what about your project?" Addison asks.
"I can multitask." Eliza says. Addison nods.
"Thank you again for watching Zoey. I'll see you Monday." Addison says with wave then heads to her car.
"Bye." Eliza says then closes the door.
Grabbing New Moon and her blueprints Eliza heads to her room. Putting the disc in she hits play and then gathers all of her chemicals for her project. Setting everything on the table she begins to mix new chemicals together when she gets the result that she was looking for she smiles. After she writes down the chemicals that she mixed together she heads to her bathroom to change into her PJ's. Realizing that she didn't have her phone she heads downstairs to get it.
When she returns theirs and there on her laying on her bed is Wyatt.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Eliza yells. "I thought we had this conversation, never leave your windows open." Wyatt says smirking. "I have always slept with them open, but that's not the point why are you here?" Eliza asks. "You left this in the forest. I was just going to leave it on your doorstep. But you had company." Wyatt says pulling out her raspberry lip balm. "Thanks, um was that it?" Eliza asks taking her lip balm. "It was then I noticed this." Wyatt says pointing to both the TV and chemicals on her desk. "And?" Eliza asks again. "I got curious." Wyatt says. Shaking her head, she grabs the remote and pauses the movie. She goes to clean up her mess on her table leaving the sex test tubes and the volumetric flask on the table.
"So, what is that stuff?" Wyatt asks from her left. "This is my science project. I just need to test out my theory." Eliza says putting a cork on the flask and some foil over her test tubs. "And that is?" Wyatt asks. "Whether or not I can bring nature back to life." Eliza says. "Huh, and this." Wyatt asks pointing back at her TV. "That's was just background noise, Zoey wanted me to watch it." Eliza says with a shrug. "So, are you going to finish it?" Wyatt asks. "I don't want too, but I promised Zoey I would." Eliza says grabbing the remote and pressing play.
Eliza sits on her bed putting her feet up. Wyatt joins her on the other side and does the same.
"No, shoes on my bed." Eliza says not looking at him. "Sorry." Wyatt says sitting up and taking his boots off. The pair watch the movie in silence then someone's stomach growls.
"Sorry, I didn't eat before I left." Wyatt says nervously scratching his head. "Have you ever had pizza?" Eliza asks. "No, what is it?" Wyatt asks. "I'll be right back." Eliza says getting up and heading downstairs to heat up a few slices of pizza. She pours some water into a glass just as the timer goes off on the microwave. Taking the plate out and grabbing the water she heads back up to her room. Wyatt sits up when she places the plate on her bed and hands him the water. Wyatt takes a bite and his eyes widen.
"This is pizza?" Wyatt asks after he takes a few sips of water. "Yes, it is. And it's one of my favorite types. Pepperoni and cheese." Eliza says. "Well, this is amazing! And this movie sucks." Wyatt says then takes a big bite of pizza. "How do you know it's a movie?" Eliza asks. "The campers who stayed in the forest always talked about them or they watch one on a tiny screen." Wyatt says then points to her tablet. "Oh, I see. This movie does suck, but not all of it." Eliza says. "I now understand why you wanted me to turn into a giant wolf. When were angry we just blow off steam wither that is hunting or fighting." Wyatt says then digs into his next slice of pizza. "That saves clothes from shedding." Eliza nods. "Wait that's why these wolves are shirtless?" Wyatt asks. "When they shift, they are hot all the time. It's not as practical they could just wear muscle shirts." Eliza says with a shaking her head.
"Do they do that?" Wyatt asks. "Not until movie four." Eliza says. "There are four movies?" Wyatt asks. "More like five. The first one is all about the vampires. This one wolfs. The next one is both. The last two was supposed to be one, but the books had too much, so it got spilt in two." Eliza says. "Wait so these vampires sparkle?" Wyatt asks finishing off his pizza and water. "Yup." Eliza says. "That stupid. How the hell is he not sparkling now?" Wyatt asks. "I guess the directors forgot which they shouldn't have I mean it's pretty important. But not that important." Eliza says shaking her head. When the credits roll Eliza gets up and takes the DVD out and puts it back in its case.
"So, when are you going to test, your theory?" Wyatt asks as he puts his boots back on. "Tomorrow before noon." Eliza says. "Great mind if I tag along?" Wyatt asks. "That was the idea, I mean you live there." Eliza says. "Cool so tomorrow around 7?" Wyatt asks. "I was thinking around 9. I want to finish my designs for my invention." Eliza says. "What invention?" Wyatt asks. "I can't tell you yet, at least not until I make a prototype." Eliza says. "Okay, so tomorrow at 9 I'll meet you at the gated entrance. I'd park your car a few miles away." Wyatt says heading over to her open window. "Right. I'll see you tomorrow." Eliza says. Wyatt smiles at her then hops out then runs home. Eliza heads over to her bed getting under the covers.
She still doesn't know what to make of Wyatt, but she knows one thing for sure, he's kind of cute.
Hello again so as always let me know what you think and how do you feel about Wyatt and Eliza's conversations and isn't Zoey just the cutest? Until next time!
