Zed's Call to the Wild

Chapter 8 - Wait, What?!!

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: This chapter contains mild cursing. Please do understand this warning, thank you!)

Zed's POV

It's been 2 weeks since my incident. Wyatt still isn't talking to me. Neither is Eliza or Addison. This really sucks. The only people I really conversate with is either Willa, Wynter, or Bree. If only there was something I can give to them as a gift of forgiveness, but I know nothing will work.

" Hey there Mr. Freakzoid," Bucky barges into my table of loneliness. I give him a look of ignorance.

" Since when will you ever stop being so against Zombies and Wolves? We're all one union, just let it be," I snarl at him.

" Hahaha, you know, for a zombie, you do pull off quite an act! Maybe you should be a comedian," Bucky teased.

I stand from my seat." Alright, can you just leave me alone!!"

Bucky jolts back in fear." Look, I only came here to give you this... Addison sent me."

As Bucky's trembling hand reaches out, I snatch the paper he handed over. The cheer squad was throwing a national night out for the wolves. Of course everyone's invited. There's gonna be games, music, blah, blah, blah...

" Sigh... Look, tell Addison that I appreciate the invite, but I'm not interested," I told Bucky, handing him back the flyer.

" Fine. Suit yourself. I mean your little boy wolf friend is coming to the event, but it's whatevs--"

" Wolf friend? You mean Wyatt?" I questioned.

" Well DUH. It's a public event the school's throwing. Plus, with me as Class Prez, it was my idea to have a National Night Out. I may not be ok with you freaks here at Seabrook, but I'm at least trying to make a difference." Bucky explains.

Wait... did I hear him correctly? HE brought up the idea of National Night Out? Seems very sketchy. Even though I may not be speaking with Wyatt, it's still my responsibility to make sure the wolves are safe.

" Fine. I'll go, but just so I can watch you, Mr. Perfect. I know you're up to something." I snarl again at Bucky.

" Doh, c'mon Zeddy Weddy, don't be so Grumpy Wumpy. Like you said, we're all one union, might as well know about my new incomers. Hugzy goodbye!!" Bucky spoke as he softly, but firmly hugs me goodbye. Since when did he get so soft in a second? And plus, Zeddy Weddy? I think I'm gonna barf up my intestines out again.

Wyatt's POV

I walk up towards my scratched locker, grabbing my books for next class. As I slam it closed, a couple of humans stare at me fearfully. I jolt at them to cause them to scurry away. I turn to find Wynter and Willa.

" GAH!" I jumped.

" Wyatt, what did we talk about?" Willa mentions.

" But they were looking at me funny, the least I can do is joke with them!" I excuse myself.

" Whatever. Here." Willa says, as she hands me a flyer.

" What's this?" I ask.

" National Night Out. Everyone's invited." Willa saids.

" But our Den Party is tonight. We can't just miss out on it by going to some dumb highschool event!" I remind her.

" Yes, but it's from Addison. She wants us to get more attached to this school than how we are traditionally." Willa explains.

" Grrrr, fine." I growled, folding up the paper into my pocket.

"Hey guys!" Addison calls, running up to us.
