Monsters

Prawn

The wolves looked up and growled as they spotted Johnny, with his head of green hair, dark in the moonlight entering the cave. "Who gave you permission to be here?" Devenity interrogated. "I had an idea." Johnny said, trying to sound friendly. "And why should we care?" She snapped back. "Because, I think you guys would like it... but first, I just wanna say that I'm sorry, you guys were right to stand up for yourselves, and for what you believed in, and what was best for your pack. You guys were pretty brave." He admitted. "Yeah, but what are we now, Zombie?" Issak retorted. "You're fierce, proud werewolves, and I now I can see why Kenzie admired you guys so much." He told them. "Well she was the only one, everybody else hated us." Issak said. "They think we're monsters." Devenity cut in. Johnny looked at them and smiled. "We are monsters."

Hayden stepped out of the limo with GiaNina, Hannah and Brady behind him, in their perfect formation, which they had been rehearsing for hours. As they walked down the carpet that had been laid out, Hayden smirked at the fact that this years' Prawn would once again be humans only. As they neared the door however, Hannah squeaked something about looking behind, and Hayden irritably turned around to see what was going on. His jaw dropped open as he blinked, making sure that this was real. "Is that Zombies!?" Hannah questioned. "And werewolves!?" Brady added. "In formal wear!?" Hannah pointed out. "They look good." GiaNina admitted. Hayden shoot an angry look at her. "Sorry." She said as she shrunk back. "Someone's gotta stop this." Hayden murmured to himself as he walked over to the Z-alarm. "You're not allowed to be here." He shouted to them. "There are laws against this." Johnny took a step closer to him, his shiny red tux catching the light coming from inside. "Bad laws are meant to be broken." He said. "And monsters don't follow the rules anyways." Annie added, high-fiving Johnny. "We're a part of Seabrook too." Issak spoke up. "The originals in fact." He said with a smirk. "You won't get away with this." Hayden said as he brought his hand up to the button that would trigger the alarm, but Devenity appeared and growled in his face, her eyes and necklace lighting up, disappearing quickly, leaving her coughing, but not before Hayden and his squad could be scared off.

Kenzie was standing next to Lauren, who was also sad that her Zombie-date couldn't come to the Prawn. Kenzie had removed her werewolf attire, and wore a Cinderella-blue dress with sparkles, and her hair was in an array of braids and such, pulled back so that it sat just below the back of her neck. When she saw the Zombies and Werewolves walk in, her heart skipped a beat. She hoped that Johnny would be there, but then she remembered all that he had done to her. When he appeared, all dressed up, she wanted to forget about everything that had happened, and run over to him, but before she had the chance, he walked up to her, though his gaze was on the ground. "Kenzie..." He trailed off. "Did you do this?" Kenzie asked. He looked up at her. "Huh?" He asked. "The Zombies and Werewolves, here. Was that your idea?" She clarified. "Well, technically it was Annie's idea-" "But you went along with it? You helped the Werewolves get here, to Prawn?" She interrupted. "I felt bad, about how I had treated them. They're not so different from us Zombies anyway." He said. "They're not so different from any of us." Kenzie said, as she smiled. "But I'm sorry, about the whole... necklace stealing thing. I just didn't want to you be a monster because... I couldn't accept the fact that I am one." He said. Kenzie wanted to tell him that he wasn't, but she noticed a certain smile on his face while he said it, and she realized that he had come to a place of acceptance for who he was, and that was all that Kenzie had wanted this whole time. "That and the fact that I thought I would lose you if you became a Werewolf, I thought you would runaway with that Issak guy and never talk to me again... and I couldn't bear the thought of that... because... I- I love you, Kenzie." Everything stopped. Kenzie felt as if the whole world was watching. She swallowed and spoke softly; "I love you Johnny." Johnny smiled and enveloped her in a hug. "I'm so sorry for everything Kenzie. It's your life and you should be able to make your own choices." He said. "Thank you." Kenzie said into his chest, as they were still hugging. She pulled away so that they were looking into each other's eyes. "And I choose to spend my time with you, and hopefully, someday, we'll spend forever together." She said, smiling. Johnny smiled back at her. "Someday." He repeated. They stared at each other for a moment, and began to lean in, but just as their lips were about to touch, a great shake rumbles underneath their feet, and everyone began running different directions. "Come on, let's get out of here." Johnny said as he grabbed her hand and led her out of the gymnasium and out into the hallway. Johnny, Kenzie and a large group of others, including the Werewolves were running down he hall, just as the ground split open, and cracked down the middle, exposing a cavern a rock, illuminated by a strange purple glow. "What was that?" Kenzie asked. "The moonstone!" Issak announced. "I can feel it." He added. "So then it's only buried and not destroyed." Kenzie said, hopefully. "The energy must have cracked the ground open, and now we'll be able to get to it to recharge our necklaces!" Devenity said. "Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Johnny said, and Kenzie smiled at his desire to help the wolves. They all climbed, one by one, down into the cavern. They walked for about 10 minutes, in silent agitation. "We're getting close! I can see the light, it's coming from Seabrook Power... or, what's left of it." Devenity said. They entered into a wider chamber, and right in the middle of it lay a giant purple crystal, supported by iron bars. The wolves all looked at each other smiling, before they each touched their necklace's to the stone, and the necklaces glowed, as well as their eyes. Just as all seemed well, the earth began to shake once more. "We have to get it our of here." Devenity said. "Legend says that our pack can move it together." Issak recalled, and they all tired to lift it, but they could even lift it off of the ground. "It's too heavy." Jenna admitted, sounding tired already. "Then maybe it's time that you expand your pack." Kenzie said as she and the rest of the people who were with them appeared. They all grabbed hold of the bars, and lifted it, they started to move, before a rock wall fell down on their exit. "We're trapped!" GiaNina exclaimed, and Hannah started hyper-ventilating. "Johnny! Your Z-band! It's still broken, so you can take it off and use your strength the lift the wall." Annie said. "Annie, I cant... what it I can't control it?" Johnny told her. "Johnny, you have to try." Kenzie said, giving him a reassuring smile. Johnny took a breath and removed the bracelet. The dark-red veins appeared once again, as his eyes and the skin around them grew darker, he shook his head and roared, making GiaNina and Hannah squirm, trying to get behind Hayden, but he just pushed them off of him, closer to Johnny. "It's okay, you can do this Johnny, focus on the wall." Annie encouraged him. Johnny turned to face the solid-rock wall, and found the crack, he lifted with all of his strength, and pushed himself as close to the other side as he could, allowing everyone to carry the moonstone through. As soon everyone got through, he let it crash down behind them, and grabbed his Z-band. The impact of the wall against the rest of the rock as he let it down was so great, that it cracked, leaving a cloud of dust. "Johnny?" He heard Kenzie question worriedly. He put his Z-band back on, as he stepped over a pile of rocks, and emerged from the dust. "Johnny!" She exclaimed as she ran over and hugged him. Everyone cheered, and the Werewolves let out a howl. "You did it!" Kenzie told him. Johnny smiled. "I could have never done it without you." Kenzie gave him a look. "No seriously, I never would have done it without you. You showed me the importance of accepting people, and I'm glad that you accepted me." He told her.

The rest of the Prawn was spent dancing and laughing. Everyone danced together in unity, and they even used the power of the moonstone to teleport to the wolf-den, and everyone seemed to love it. Johnny's dad brought Pizza, and the Kenzie convinced her mom to her renounce the anti-monster laws, after seeing how they had all worked together, without eating anyone's brain or flesh. As they finished the last dance, Kenzie and Johnny had their first kiss, and Kenzie was glad that it was with him, especially now that they had all accepted each other, and everything was good. She went off to bed that night smiling about it all, and fully ready for whoever she was to be, knowing that she had her friends to be right there with her, through it all.
