We'd been on the island a week and moods were wearing thin. Megan thought Amanda would not make it thru the night.Betty started crying again, thank God Kevin took her out of the room. I don't think any of us could take much more of her sobbing all the time.It was hard enough keeping everyone's spirits up without her moaning every five minutes.

Megan pulled me aside excited she said very quitely, "We forgot about Jay." Jay lived on the island. He was the one who stocked the kitchen and saw to Mr.Hogans' every need.But I was sure that Todd had said that Jay had left the island. Anyway I didn't want anyone going out of the house. If Jay came back to the island he was in better shape than we were.Jay was an Ex Marine and had fought in 2 wars. If anyone had a chance it was Jay.

Suddenly a scream pierced the night. It sounded like Betty yelling that Amanda was gone.Megan and I rushed up the stairs to see what was going on.We got there in time to see Kevin pushing Betty out of the room.He yelled at us to get downstairs and get our guns. Confused we did as he said. I raced back upstairs with my gun to help Kevin.I arrived just in time to see him holding Amanda back and yelling at me to shoot her. I froze, I just could not shot a sick woman. Kevin finally kicked her back and snatched my gun from me and shot her in the head. "What the hell is wrong with you," I yelled. I kept yelling at him,at least until he punched me. Then I jumped at him. I wanted to kill him. Kevin raised the gun before I could reach him and stopped me dead in my tracks.

By then everyone was upstairs. Kevin told us all to calm down and go back down stairs. he promised to explain everything as soon as he took care of Amanda.

The first thing he asked when he came back was if anyone had gotten any of Amanda's blood on them? We all looked at Megan, but he said he thought that Megan was safe. Then he wxplained why he shot Amanda.

"What you saw Mark was a Dead Woman!" She was a Zombie." I am sure of this because I saw Jeff pull Todd out the door, he was really messed up man worse than your friend Jorge. I had hoped that Amanda would be okay but I looked in those dead eyes and knew she had turned into one of them.From now on nobody goes anywhere alone. Everybody stay armed. I know there are not enough guns but we can fashion some weapons.You have to kill the brain, shoot them in the head or hit them or stab them in the head.We should be okay but why take chances.
