"Attention all citizens. Monster laws have been reinstated. All curfews will be strictly enforced. Attention all citizens. Werewolves have been sighted in the area. Take cover immediately. Keep children and pets inside."
I walked around the Zombietown part of Seabrook, people running everywhere, stopping at a fro-yo cart when the owner started shaking his hand at me.
"Oh, no no no. We're closed. For good." He closed the lid sharply. I looked at him in offense. I just wanted to see the flavors. "Dreams of Fro-Yo success melted away! With monsters everywhere. Look, I like zombies. They like Fro-Yo. But werewolves like human flesh. Maybe with sprinkles. Everybody likes sprinkles." he ran to the other side of the cart and grabbed the handle. "Just run! High knees, run!" he began pushing his cart down the street.
I walked into the homes neighborhood and saw a man shouting at his daughter.
"Zoey! Come on home! It's not safe out here with these werewolves on the loose." he shouted. "Just one sec." she said.
"Have you seen a werewolf?" she asked me. "I'm looking for a were-friend."
"Silly kid, there's no such thing as werewolves." I told her.
"But we heard it howl."
"Maybe it was a hiker saying, "howl's it going?""
"It was a werewolf!" she frowned. "My, what big eyes you have." She ran inside quick enough for me to grab her poster and run.
I entered through the gate to the Forbidden Forest where something had crashed through and went to the cave to find my pack.
"He's back. Wolves!" my sister, Willa, commanded as I approached.
I took off my silly disguise and waited as two of the wolves reapplied my face marks and gave me back my moonstone necklace. I turned to Willa and snarled, my fangs growing back and my eyes glowing. "What did you find out?" she asked.
"They saw you howling, Willa." I sneered.
"So?"
"We're exposed." I showed her the poster that Zoey girl made and she snatched it from my hands, scoffing.
"Looks nothing like us, Wyatt. We have way better hair than that. Stop being such a worry-wolf, brother! I only said "awoo!"" she smirked. "It's like saying "ciao", or "aloha", or "I'll rip your throat out!"! My younger sister, Wynter, smiled at me knowingly as Willa continued. "Anyways, who cares what they think? It's a terrible town." I frowned
"We have to find the Great Alpha-"
"If there even is a Great Alpha."
"Willa, we saw her in the forest. She had the white hair!" I retorted."
"It was probably just the light."
"She's real. And she's going to lead us to the moonstone. And you know we don't have much time. More and more of our pack are getting sick. Our necklaces are almost out of power. We need to find the moonstone." I growled.
"And when we do, we can recharge our necklaces and stay wolf strong for another 100 years." Wynter said, the pack agreeing.
"Okay. Even if the girl is the Great Alpha, how do we find her?" Willa asked me. I pulled out a Seabrook High patch from my pocket.
"I found this in the woods. It's hers." Wynter gasped. "We'll track her down with our keen sense of smell." I looked at Willa.
"Says Seabrook High on it, so I thought we might just look there." Willa groaned. "Okay, fine. We find the girl, and if she's the Great Alpha, she'll tell us where the moonstone is hidden."
"We go in the morning!" I announced.
"We go tonight!" Willa snarled.
"Or tonight works." I said quietly. The pack howled in agreement as we began our trek through the woods.
