The Lost Ace

Chapter Fifteen

Addison POV (its the song lol) gonna start w/ dialogue btw. Also, bold is Willa, italics is Wyatt, underline is Addison, all of these things are everyone. Anytime there are back-up singers, they will be in parentheses --> ( )

Wynter smiled as we walked in. "The wolf den! It's okay to be impressed."

"Wow!" I remarked.

Wyatt grinned as well. "Our language," He howled. "That means welcome." I did my best to copy his howl, and everyone laughed.

"Ostrich boots?" Wynter asked.

Wyatt didn't think the same. "No, I think Addison meant..." He howled again, and I copied him, receiving more laughs.

"Polka-dot unicorn?" Wyatt questioned.

Wynter perked up. "Cool! Where?"

I shook my head. "Oh, no. Sorry, um.... Uh...." I howled again, trying my best to convey the message that I was wanting to say hello in wolf-speak. Instead of laughing, everyone gasped and went dead silent.

"Woah, woah, language. There are were-pups around!" Wyatt chastised.

"She needs to put a pebble in the swear-wolf jar." Wynter agreed.

My cheeks turned pink in embarrassment. "I am so sorry!"

Willa didn't accept my apology. "Enough! This is not why we brought her here! Is this how you would act if, instead of Addison, we were introducing you know who?"

I momentarily got lost in thought. Who was 'you know who'? Then I remembered the bigger question at hand. "Why am I here?"

Wyatt immediately answered my question. "I believe you will lead us to the moonstone. I believe you're the Great Alpha. I believe you're a werewolf!"

I was super shocked. "What?!"

Turn up, explain our history. Pull back the veil of mystery. What's written on the cave is prophecy; the Great Alpha is our destiny. Show us the power of chemistry; lead us to the source of our energy. No one knows her identity, but she looks like you, identically. This is how we're living our lives, living our lives, living our lives. Yeah, can you feel the call to the wild, call to the wild, the call to the wild? We are the call, we are the call, we are the call to the wild!

I see a real community: Unique, but you have unity. You know who you're supposed to be; release to the rhythm totally.

I feel divine when you're close to me, and you can feel it too, or hopefully. Now, look up, and tell me what you really see: A bunch for stray wolves, or a family. This is how we're living our lives, living our lives, living our lives. Yeah, can you feel the call to the wild, call to the wild, the call to the wild? We are the call, we are the call, we are the call to the wild! We are the call, we are the call, we are the call to the wild!

Hold up, before you do, let me interrupt. She's a cheerleader, not an Alpha. You're in the den, but you'll need to earn my trust. Now, show me what you got if you're one of us.

... ... ...

This is how we're living our lives, living our lives, living our lives.(It's how you're living) Yeah, can you feel the call to the wild, call to the wild, (I can feel the...)the call to the wild? We are the call, we are the call, we are the call to the wild! We are the call, we are the call, we are the call to the wild!

I saw Zed running into the wolf den, Bree, Eliza, and Bonzo all following him. "Addison!" He shouted.

"Zed!" I replied. I was really happy to see him, but he kind of ignored me, and stood between myself and the wolves.

"Don't make me take this off! You don't want to see me zombie out!"

Raising her guard, Willa backed away to the rest of her pack. "Wolves!" She commanded, getting every werewolf in the den to be ready to attack my friends.

Zed wasn't fazed. "Stay back!" He yelled, flicking off his Z-band. Zed's veins started showing and his true zombie form didn't help the werewolves to calm down.

"No!" I cried, running to get the Z-band. Once I had retrieved the Z-band, I dashed back to Zed and fitted the band around his wrist. Zed relaxed, and so did the wolves... mostly. "No, stop! Zed, I want to be here!"

Bree looked confused. "What? But... but you texted 'Help!'" She showed my text.

I sighed. "I needed help on the chemistry homework. Didn't you see the beaker emoji?" I asked, pointing to the text underneath the first. Bree looked at her phone and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh... I do now. By the way, I love this new look. New hairstylist?" She asked, gesturing to the new hairstyle and outfit that I was wearing.

I smiled as well. "Werewolves, they know hair."

"And manicures." Wynter added. All of the werewolves agreed.

"They think I might be a werewolf too." I told Bree. That was when Zed spoke.

"What? How?"

"Maybe a grandparent; my hair means something. This could be my pack."

Without even knowing she was gone, Willa emerged from another room with a shiny, brown, wooden box. She gently opened it to reveal a beautiful necklace. It looked similar to Willa's own necklace, and I gasped. "For centuries, this has been set aside for the Great Alpha. A fully charged moonstone is priceless to us, Addison. If you're truly one of us, when you put it on, you'll be transformed into a werewolf; part of our pack, forever."

Zed practically shouted his protest. "What? No!"

"Wait. Can I think about it?" I asked.

Willa thought for a moment. "For a day."
Wyatt agreed with his sister. "Once you've joined us, you can lead us to the hidden moonstone."

Willa shook her head. "But she doesn't know where it is."

"What?" I asked, not knowing what they were talking about. All of a sudden, a loud booming noise interrupted us. We all ran outside to see that the noise was coming from Seabrook Power.

Zed tsked. "The explosion came from Seabrook Power."

I nodded. "They must be testing charges for the demolition tomorrow."

"Seabrook Power is the birthplace of zombies." Zed continued. "A little lime soda mixed with some mysterious energy, and...BANG!! Zombies."

Willa scoffed. "Nice story, but it doesn't concern us."

"But it does concern you, Willa." I realized. "Seabrook Power was fueled by a mysterious energy source. That could be your moonstone, right?"

Wyatt whispered something to Willa and she whispered something back before looking back at me. "We'll see you at school tomorrow, Addison." "Okay, tomorrow," I replied. "Big day." As I walked away, I could hear Wyatt and Willa discussing, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. As I walked back to my house, I pondered the decision I was going to make tomorrow. I hoped that this would be the right decision.
