By the time we reached the other end of the island we were tired, thirsty and hungry. but most of all I could see the fear in everybodies eyes. We hadn't run into anymore Zombies but we also had run out of tree and bush cover. To get to Jay's place we had to be out in the open for longer then 15 minutes and that was at a dead run.
The worst of it was not knowing my sister was alive or if Jay's place was safe. I decided to go alone. If it was safe the others could follow. Or if not they had to go back. I gave Kevin the key even distraught he was the best man to take over.
I ran towards the cabin, I ran for my life and the lives of my friends. When I got there the door was closed but not locked. I ran in screaming Megan's name and praying she would answer. She didn't and I feared the worse. But I checked the house slowly, my gun at the ready. Nobody was there no Zombies, no Jay and no Megan.
I closed the door and ran back to my friends, my heart was breaking but I had to take care of them now. When I reached them they could tell that I had bad news. Still I wanted to get them to the house before I told them anything.So we ran and when we got to Jay's cabin the door was still closed. I locked it and had them all sit while Sue and I got them something to drink.
I wanted to get Sue alone and tell her that we had to keep the others calm. I didn't have a plan but the fact that there were no Zombies around seemed like a good sign. No Megan or Jay was the down side.
Jay's cabin seemed to be stocked like the house but on a smaller scale. We had enough food and drink for some time and we were near the sea. We had a good view all around us. that was all the good news. The bad was the windows and the fact that there was no basement only an upstairs. First thing we needed to do was make sure the three windows were covered. we took the doors off the upstairs rooms. We also tore up some furniture too. I figured blocking the windows inside and out was a good idea. Jay had shutters on his windows and we nailed them shut with boards on the outside. We used the doors on the inside of the windows.
We made alot of racket and not one Zombie appeared. For some reason they were avoiding this place, why didn't make me feel secure.We had been through too much not to wonder what was going on.
We talked it over at dinner and came up with nothing. Just then there was a bamming at the door. We all jumped and no one said a word.Then I heard my sister yelling to open up the door. This time nobody tried to stop me from opening the door. I flung it open with my gun ready, what I saw left me speechless. Not only was Megan there but so was Jay!!!
