Chapter 7
On Our Way
Kylee's story shook me like nothing ever before. Miguel risked his life for them and now he's going to die. No, he isn't going to die. I will do everything in my power to save him.
We woke up the next morning at 5:00 A.M. I guess we woke up so early because we could hear Miguel toss, turn, and scream all night. We all slept in one room so I guess it kind of took off some of the zombies fear and more of the Miguel trauma. The lighthouse overlooked the entire turquoise bungalow area (The bungalows are named after colors). In the lighthouse were three rooms 2 of which were locked, which explained why we all slept in the same room, and one bathroom. Each floor had one room and a sort of living room area except for the roof. The doors were made of iron and almost impossible to bust down even with a gun. On the side of the door was a little keypad with numbers which was just a password used to lock the door. On the roof of the tower was one, the control room that powered the light, but seemed to not be working and two, a little balcony that made the surrounding area visible. "The lighthouse belonged to an old doctor", Kylee said. "That's great! Then he must have medical supplies so we can fix Miguel's arm", Natalie said cheerfully. Kylee then gave her a cold stare. At that moment we all realized that whatever the old man had was in one of the two doors. "How do you know that the guy who lives here is a doctor anyway", I said, cleaning my bloody hand. The others are doing the same. "You know, there is a bathroom on the second floor", Kyle interrupted. Kailey entered with him. "Where were you guys?" Kylee said, "Working on the doors? No luck I'm guessing?" "No, not yet, but it seems to be opening slightly every time we hit", Kailey said, "We just need some more bats, but if we had some dynamite we could bust that door wide open in one blast". "We'll do it!" I said, "If it's to save him then yes". "Wait, Eddie, let's think about this, wasn't our plan to save Jeanie and get the hell out of here?" Sami said, almost begging. "Well, have you thought of our plan to get off? Look, we can get her later, she had food in there so she can last and besides one little side quest won't hurt our master quest", I responded, "We'll do it!" Kylee, Kyle, and Kailey's faces lit up while Sami, Tati, and Natalie's faces gave me a stern look. Our journey was about to make a start and I was ready!
