Secrets Of The Woods: Werewolf Story

Chapter 28: Building The Fences

Zoe Arnolds PoV

I drive back to the house and park the car on the driveway. I'll worry about cleaning it out later. When Morgan pulls up she parks on the driveway as close to the front door as possible. Then we both help Mason into the house after we unlock the front door. No one came while we were gone so that's good. After helping Mason over to the couch we head back outside. The SUV filled with supplies and more on top is parked on the driveway. Morgan asks "Should we change into better for this first?"
I tell her "That's a good idea. But I want to see how much we got first. Have you ever built anything before?"
"Not really. I've helped Liam and Mason build stuff before."
"That's better than me. I've never built anything."
We open the car door and look inside. It really is filled with supplies. Before I can say anything else Morgan's phone goes off. She answers and tells me "It's the store. We can go pick up more supplies."
She walks away and starts talking with them. I go over and open the garage door. There's a workspace area so I slowly start unloading the wood and supplies into the workspace area. We don't need to get more cars filled with the woods dust and stuff like that. When Morgan gets off the phone she comes and helps. I wish Elizabeth or Matthew was here to help. I ask her "When do they want one of us to head over?"
"I'm not sure. They said as soon as possible if we want to get a lot more wood."
After multiple trips of taking stuff to the workspace and walking back we are surprised to see a car pull up. Matthew gets out of it. He asks "Do you need help with that?"
Morgan asks "Why are you here? Not that we aren't happy to see you."
"My dad let me go for a couple hours. He's way too busy with work calls to teach me anything else."
He rolls his eyes after he said that. I tell him "Long story short Mason almost died. We brought him to the hospital. They helped stabalize him. They wanted to do surgery on him so we signed him out and brought him back. He's on the couch."
Morgan adds "We need to build a fence around our property so the hunters won't be allowed into our property. Elizabeth called us saying her dad is working on getting the mayor and the police to let them onto our property if they think they saw a dead wolves body. The police came and we got them to leave but they will come again."
He asks "So if we build a fence they can't come onto the property?"
We both nod our heads. He asks "What about the wolves? How can they leave and enter?"
I tell him "We'll build gates that will open and close. They'll have a code so the hunters can't open them. And we have to find a way they won't be able to climb over the fence. But right now we need to finish unloading then go pick up more supplies."

After we finished unloading Morgan drives to go get more supplies. We head inside to check on Mason then I quickly go change into a outfit that's better for building stuff. I head outside with Matthew and he asks "Where do we start?"
I tell him "At the end of our long driveway. Then follow the signs on the trees that say private property and start building. I have no idea how to build anything."
"I do. I helped my parents put together a lot of the furniture in our house and I've helped our neighbors build fences too. So I mostly know what I'm doing. But that's gonna be a lot of trips back and forth. Also to cut the wood to the right length."
"I guess it's a good thing we are Werewolves. Our stermina is longer."
"Let's build a fence."
"Yeah."
"Could we use another car to help with the supplies or something else?"
"There might be something in the workshop we could use. Or we could buy something. I don't want too many cars to get filled with all the saw dust and everything. Ecspecially because most of the cars belong to our other friends."
"That's true."
We walk back into the small workshop area and look around. We find a big flat piece of medal and wheels. We work together to build something to help transport supplies back and forth. We also build a bar and handle to move the platform around. Then we load up a good amount of wood, nails, and some other supplies. We also grab our powered drill for the nails. On the walk to the front of the property Matthew is pulling the makeshift wagon.

When we finally get to the end of the driveway we start digging holes. After we dug some holes we put a piece of wood in and make sure its a good height before mixing and pouring cement in to hold it up. we keep digging holes and getting the posts set with cement. Morgan comes with more supplies so I head back with her to unload the supplies into the workshop. It's starting to get filled. I move some of our cheaper cars out of the garage and onto the driveway so we have more space to unload the supplies. The cheaper cars can sit out. We don't want our supplies sitting out in case it rains or snows. The weather is all over the place so we don't know what it will be like.

After unloading the SUV Morgan tells me "You can go get more supplies. I'll help build the fence with Matthew for a while. We can all take turns."
I agree with her and take off in the SUV to get more supplies. I stop on the way there at a rental trailer place and rent a trailer. We get it hooked up to the SUV then I head to the store. We are able to get more wood and supplies because I got the trailer. When the SUV and trailer is filled I head back. When I pull into the driveway Matthew and Morgan are surprised I got a trailer. I stop and roll down the window. Morgan tells me "That was a smart idea. We should've thought about doing that sooner."
I tell her "Maybe we can rent another trailer to keep at the end of the driveway and hold some supplies. There's locks so it's harder for people to get into it. Or we keep it hidden down here. So we could have one going back and forth, the other sitting here to cut down on trips to the workshop."
Matthew tells us "That's a good idea."
I park the SUV and trailer a little ways down the driveway but still code towards the end of it. I make sure the trailer is hidden from the road then unhook it. After I unhook it I drive away the go rent another trailer and get more supplies. I go to a different store that sells wood and supplies I need because I know it takes a while to restock and get supplies because we live in a small town. Hopefully we can build a good amount of the fence before it gets too dark to work. We have plenty of money to buy lights to work during the night but that just adds onto the cost and we all need our sleep.

After getting more supplies I head over to our coffee shop and bookstore. I head inside and the older lady working there smiles. She says "Zoe it's good to see you."
I smile and ask "How's it been?"
"We've actually been pretty busy. There were a lot of students coming to buy books for school or for fun."
"That's good. I'll go check the office real quick and work on writing checks for the workers."
"Sounds good! I'll be here!"
I head to the small office and start counting all the cash we made. After I've counted the cash I write checks for the different workers here. I put them in one of our safes. The couple employees who work here know this safes code because it's the one we put there paychecks in. The other safes they don't know the codes. Only Crystal and other Werewolves know it. It's where we keep the extra cash that's made here or the cash to pay for the store. After writing the checks and putting them in the safe I put all the cash in another safe where it belongs at. When I'm done I head back out to the main area and tell her "I gotta go. Thanks for helping!"
She smiles and says "No problem! I enjoy working here. What are you in a hurry for?"
"I'm helping some of the people who live with Crystal build a fence around the private property."
"Really?"
"Yeah. People keep going into there property so they decided to build a fence."
"Do you need any help with that?"
"No, we've got it but thanks for the offer!"
"I know people who can help in case you change your mind. Have fun!"
We smile to each other then I head out the door.

We spend the couple hours we have with Matthew building fences and driving to get supplies. After he leaves we stop driving to get supplies. It's just me and Morgan building the fence. It's so much work to build it. We take breaks to eat or drink and to feed the wolves. Also to check on Mason but the breaks can't be for very long. We need to build the fence.
