*boards on the door* sorry guys, we're closed. That should keep them out. Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Chapter 7: the dog whistle
As Chris and I headed back inside the same room we were in, we decided to head through the only door that was unlocked near the double doors we through earlier. We went through to see another small hallway. As we close the door behind us, we noticed that the doorknob on this side was falling apart. We decided not to use this door again, since the doorknob could break if we opened it again.
Me and Chris went further until we reached a room with a chandelier shining brightly. There was a staircase to our right, which led to the upper part of this room. A zombie was in the middle of the room, not knowing we where there. Chris and I took out our guns and fired. It took several shot to take it down. It fell dead with a moan. There was a door near the dead body. Chris and I went through. It was a small room with some boxes and crates containing various stuffs. Me and Chris look around for ammunition and supplies. We found a handgun magazine, a box of shotgun shells, and two first aid sprays. We also found a fuel canteen and a tank gallon full of kerosene. I filled it up with kerosene, just in case.
We went out and proceed upstairs. We went to the right and we found another door on the right. It was locked with an armor engraved on the lock. We proceeded further down and came across another door to our right. We went through; it was difficult to see, since there was no light. We looked around as hard as we could. Soon, I found a fireplace.
"Chris, think you can light this up?" I asked.
He nodded and flicked his lighter up. The fire was lit and the room was clear enough to see. There was another do in here. It was locked too with a helmet engraved in the lock. We walked out of the room and headed the other way. Another door was in front of us, but it had no door handle. So, we went to the door on the right. Somehow, it was locked from this side. Now, it was unlocked.
We step on through, being ready in case any zombies came out. None where around. We went to the right and found another door. We step inside. We were in a small library. We looked around to see if there was anything we could use. I then found a dog whistle with a note that said on the balcony there is a dog with a collar on it, that collar hold something of great importance. "Hey Chris, I found something!" he came over and I showed him the whistle and the note. "Whatever is in that collar, we need to get It." he nodded. I put the whistle in my pocket for safe keeping. We headed out the way we came. The hall was a bit of a mess, with a mirror broken and pieces of glass on the floor. Good thing I am wearing shoes. I thought. We came across a big steel double door, but it was locked, engraved with armor on the lock. We moved further down and found another door to our left, but it was locked too, also engraved with armor on the lock.
We went through the door in front of us and were back in the huge hall. We started to think about where the balcony would be. Then, I snapped my fingers. "I know where it is, Chris! Follow me!" we headed back through the double doors leading above the dining room. We headed for the door, which needed a sword key. We went through and saw another door to our right. We tried to open it, but to no avail. It needed an old key, which, lucky for us, we had one. We went on through and we soon found ourselves on the balcony.
"This must be it." I said.
"yeah." said Chris.
I pulled out the dog whistle and threw it to Chris, which he caught. "Think you can blow that?"
Chris nods and blows it. Soon, two dogs, one of them wearing a collar, came at us. With my handy shotgun, I manage to bring those dogs down. I went to the one with the collar and removed it from its neck. At first, it looked like an ordinary collar, but, I found a small button on it. I press it and inside the front of it was a coin. I took it out and examined it closely. Then, I found another button on it and it turned into a key.
"This must be a fake key." "I said. "Why would someone make a fake key and put it in a dog collar?"
"I'm not sure, Austin." Said Chris. He took the fake key and looked at it closely. "This looks like the same key we saw back in that room with those suits of armors. Remember?"
I nodded and I knew where this was going. "We can simply replace the real key with this fake one. We will be able to explore more of this mansion."
"Yeah, let's go." said Chris and we headed back inside the mansion.
Everyone, I am really, really sorry for the HUGE delay to this. I have been busy with others things and so on. I didn't mean for time to just fly by. So, please forgive me, or you can give those monsters that are banging at the door a piece of your mind! Anyway, leave a review please. It helps me out a lot. Next chapter will be in soon.
