Chapter Five

Donna was sound asleep in his arms when night fell in earnest. She’d had a long day of worry and travel. He decided to let her sleep as he slid out of bed and suited up for a quick look around the woods. Now that he’d been cleared to join the combat team, he wanted to get a bead on the area, strategizing in his mind the most likely avenues of attack and places to hide. He had to see the surrounding forest at night. The way the enemy would see it.

Now was his chance. And if he ran into one of the zombies while he was out, so much the better. He’d take it out before it could threaten anyone else. Donna would be safe enough in the cabin. John wouldn’t go far. He’d left her a weapon and locked her securely inside. She’d be okay until he got back.

John headed down to the lake first. That would be his point of reference. The moon had risen over one side of the haunted lake. A thick blanket of fog lay on the surface, like smoke rising from the water. It rippled as a precocious wind tickled the surface here and there.

“That’s certainly creepy enough,” John muttered under his breath, taking a moment to appreciate the full effect.

He dismissed the strange weather from his mind as he turned back to locate the cabin through the trees. He’d left a night-light on in the front room, and with that faint glow as his guide, it was easy to spot their temporary home away from home.

Triangulating from the cabin and the lake toward the boundary with the Bemkey estate, John did a thorough walk-through of the woods. He’d done it before in daylight, but everything looked different at night. Somewhat to his disappointment, he didn’t come across any zombies. For whatever reason, there was none to be found in the area at that moment.

Deciding he’d been gone long enough, John went back to the cabin and let himself in. Donna was still asleep when he slid back into bed next to her warm body. She had the softest skin. He remembered stroking her hair and shoulder for a while before sleep claimed him again.
