Into the Wolf Pack- A ZOMBIES Story

Chapter 7

We got to it. The principal and the mayor of Seabrook just banned werewolves and other monsters. Including the zombies.

"Wait, there are zombies in Seabrook?" I say into the microphone on the stage. The entire crowds nods in unison. 

Bucky wrestles the microphone away from me and starts talking into it.

"Listen up, it's not so tough, I'll tell you how it's done," he starts. And a very successful start, may I add! He begins with a "listen up" to catch everyone's attention. Then, he reassures them with the "it's not so tough," and he keeps their attention by claiming he can "...tell you how it's done." Everyone in the crowd is fully engaged in what he will say next, including me. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm pretty good at analyzing sentences. I smirk to myself. Oh wait, Bucky's still talking!

"Since I was a little boy, I've hated zombies. But this guy," he gestures towards me, and I smile proudly, "showed me that I should tolerate the wolves and the zombies. Through song. And that's my favorite way to be shown things. So I think that we should all tolerate each other! And stage a coup to execute the principal and Mayor! So I can be king of Seabrook!"

The entire crowd cheers. To be honest, I don't really care. Bucky would be a great leader. But I sigh and step forward because killing the Mayor is probably bad. The Principal can die, though. She's not fashion forward. 

"Hey, Buck. I know you're feeling a bit passionate right now, but maybe we shouldn't kill the mayor. I'm Wynston, by the way." I say. Then I start playing the Wulfsong song, "Don't Kill the Mayor."

Hey Bucky

You shouldn't kill the mayor

Kill the principal, though

We all hate her

You know it isn't right

To go and stage a coup

Maybe don't kill your aunt

She will thank you

I'm totally grooving to the tunes, but Bucky doesn't really care. Neither do the wolves. They all howl the second the song ends.

"Hey Wynston! I thought you were a wolf! But I guess you're not, because wolves kill anyone who threatens their family!" Says Willa.

"You know, I agree." Says Bucky, "That was pretty lame of you."

I am sad. 

"Fine, guys. Kill the mayor. I'm sorry I'll never go against the wolves again." I say.

Willa and Bucky both smile and look at each other. They nod.

"Well then," Willa says, walking closer to me, "If you want to prove yourself, then you kill the mayor."

I gulp. Wait what am I doing? I don't care about other people's lives! I've buried people before, all I'm doing now is the first step! Oh, and I killed Wynter. 

I run towards where the Mayor is peacefully standing, and I use my claws to slash her throat. She gasps but it's more of a gargle because of the blood. She dies averagely.

The whole crowd cheers, and I see that they've tied up the principal. 

"Wait, guys. The principal doesn't have much power," I say, "So why don't we just use her as a mascot?" 

Willa smiles. "I like how you think," She says. "We'll name her Marjorie." 

"Marjorie!!" The whole crowd cheers. 

I smile. This is kind of nice, no rules, and a very stylish king. I walk around the crowd to see how everyone's doing. Most people are happy, cheerful, etc, but then I see Addison crying. 

"What's wrong, Perky von Cheesestick?" I ask.

Addsion sniffles, "You literally just killed my mom!" she screams.

"Oh, my bad," I say.

Addison collapses in rage, and I keep on walking. But as I walk I gain empathy, or maybe sympathy, whichever one makes you feel bad about killing people. Mostly moms, though, I don't feel bad about killing Wynter.

As I have this realization, Bucky walks up to me.

"That was bucktastic! Have you ever thought about going by 'Wynstacey?'" He tells me.

"No," I reply honestly, "but maybe we could be best friends?" 

Bucky takes a moment to think this through, but he eventually nods.

"Alright, we can be best friends," He says. I smile the biggest smile I have ever smiled. We both jump into the air and freeze with our fists up and our smiles wide. As we're frozen there, "Best Friends" by Wulfsong plays.

Best friends

Howling in the den

If they need a king

It's you I recommend

Wag our tails

Unanimously

All I know is

I'm a fan of you and me
