Willco/Solangelo: A love story

III- Zack

Zack had seen a lot of weird things in his life but nothing prepared him for when his girlfriend turned into a snake lady.

It was his birthday today. He woke up to the sound of Las Mañanitas, a Mexican birthday song. He sat up in his bed and looked at the clock. 8:07 a.m. He knew that if he didn't go downstairs his parents would decide to come up and surprise him in bed. He stood up and put on a white t-shirt he had left on the floor from the night before. Just as he was about to open the door his little brother runs inside.

"Happy Birthday Zack!" said Chris. Chris was short for Christoper. He was his little brother. He was 8 years old, just 8 years younger than Zack. Well, 9 years today. He has short black hair, brown eyes, a light brown skin tone, and a scar on his upper left side of his forehead from when he fell as a baby. "Apurale! We have a surprise for you!" and with that he ran out the door before Zack could say 'thank you'.

Zack walked downstairs to find his whole family around the kitchen table with his favorite breakfast set on the table; chocolate chip pancakes with strawberry jam on top and a glass of chocolate milk. His family was average. It consisted on his mom Dulce, his dad Carlos (who was also technically his stepfather), his sister Janet (also technically his stepsister) and his little brother Chris (who was his biological brother).

"Feliz Cumpleaños! Happy Birthday Zack!" his whole family walked over to hug him.

"Ay mijo, 17 years old." said his mom, as she hugged him. She had her black long hair up in a bun, she was wearing her yellow dress under her apron. Her eyes were the same color as his, hazel, and her warm smile was enough to make anyone smile. "You're growing up so fast."

"Gracias guys. I really don't know what to say." Zack said as he sat down on the kitchen table to eat his birthday breakfast. After finishing his breakfast he excused himself to his room. "I have to meet Becca at the park today so I have to get ready. Sorry."

"She gonna give you a special birthday present?" asked Janet while making a kissy face. Janet was 15 years old. They met when they were she was 6 and he was 8. They became fond of each other and he was very protective of her and their little brother. She was wearing her ripped blue skinny jeans, a pastel pink shirt under her royal blue cardigan, and her pink flats. Her hair was reminded him of a tree in Autumn, honey colored, and her eyes were a dark brown just like dad's.

"Ha-ha, very funny Jan. We're just hanging out." Zack began to walk up the stairs. "And besides, we're dating so of course we'll be kissing." finished Zack before closing his door.

He took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and began to get dressed. He put on some blue jeans curled up a little at the bottom, a clean white t-shirt under his black and purple flannel shirt, and his brown boat shoes. He checked himself in the mirror.

"Zachary, you look hot." He told himself. He put on some deodorant and cologne. He looked at the hook next to his mirror. There hanged the only thing his biological father ever left him before he left his mom and him. A necklace with a pair of black wings. He'd never put it on but he felt the urge to put it on today. He took his messenger bag and hurried out the front door. "Bye Mom! Bye Dad! Los veo al rato! See you guys later!"

He saw Becca sitting on the grass waiting for him. She was wearing a light green dress with her green flats on. Her hair was blond, but it looked golden in the sun, and her eyes were blue like the sky.

"Hey Zack." She sat up as she saw him approach. "Happy Birthday!" She stood up and hugged him. When she pulled away she noticed his necklace.

"What's that?" She asked with a spark in her eyes. She looked quite annoyed at his necklace.

"Oh this? It was just something that my dad left for me before he left." Zack explained. "Why?"

"I knew it. You are one of them." Becca answered. He voice suddenly became more snake like. "Oh Zachary. You don't know how long I've waited until I was able to show my true form!" Her whole boddy began to glow and smoke.

"Becca? W-What are you doing?" Zack began to step back. Becca became bigger, taller, her legs morphed into a snake tail, her skin became the color of her dress, her eyes became more snake like. Finally she stopped glowing.

"Zackary Puentes." Becca's voice had suddenly changed to a more scarier one. More deep. More snake like. "Prepare to die." Suddenly Becca attacked. Zack did the only thing that crossed his mind. He ran. He was always a good runner, but Becca was gaining up on him more and more each time.

'What the hell is going on?' Zack thought as he avoided a tree. 'My girlfriend is a... a... a snake lady. What the hell was going on?!' Suddenly he felt something grab his waist. It was a snake tail. Becca's snake tail. He was lifted into the air.

"Zackary Puentes. I've been waiting for proof that you were one of them. Now I'll have the pleasure of killing you off myself." Becca hissed at him.

'One of them? Who's them?' Zack thought to himself. Suddenly he heard someone yell. Then Becca gasped, and suddenly he fell into a pile of green ashes. Becca's ashes. Among the ashes was a sword. Zack looked up at a man dressed as a gym coach. With him was Janet and Chris.

"Huh? Jan? Chris? What are you doing here? Where's mom and dad?" Zack asked confused. "And who's this dude?"

"My name is Gleeson Hedge, but you can call me Coach Hedge. There is no time to explain but you need to come with me kid."

"Zack. It's okay, mom and dad are okay. They said to go with Coach Hedge. That we had become unsafe and needed a safe heaven" Janet explained. She looked at the ashes with disgust. "Who was that? What was that?"

"That was Becca." Zack responded.

"Becca?!" Said Chris. "I don't remember Becca being a snake lady."

"Dracaena." corrected Coach Hedge.

"Dracaena? As in Greek Mythology Dracaena?" Zack asked in disbelief. His girlfriend was a monster. Literally.

"We have to go kids. We need to get to Camp Half-Blood." Coach Hedge said as he began to walk.

"Where's Camp Half-Blood?" asked Janet.

"Long Island, New York." responded Coach Hedge. He looked back to see the surprised looks on all three kids. "Yes, I know where in Chicago. So we better hurry if we want to get there before sundown."
