I woke up in the middle of the night to a cold gentle breeze coming in from the hatch door. The moon light streaming in, showing dust particles moving in the air. I got up from the chair I was sleeping in to see who opened the hatch.

As I climbed up the ladder I heard someone talking.

"I'm not going to see him. He left my family when I was young, I'm not going." Y/N voice said frusterated.

"I don't care what he wants! Just leave me alone!" She yelled.

I looked up out the hatch door to see Y/N arguing with a z.

"I'm not going to see him and that's final!" She yelled and stormed towards the door.

I panicked and slide down the ladder and ran back to the chair I was previously sleeping on. As I covered myself in the blanket Linda gave me.

The hatch door slammed shut and angry foot steps went down the ladder.

"I know you're up 10K." She said looking at me angrily.

I sat up and looked at her.

"So you really can talk to z's." I whisperd, eyeing her down.

I felt... I don't know how I felt. I wasn't scared. But I definitely wasn't happy.

"Can we talk somewhere... more private?" She asked, Looking into the bedroom.

"Where to?" I asked, standing up.

"Follow me." She walked back to the hatch and went up the ladder and opened the door.

I followed her up the ladder and outside.

"Close it." She said staring at the moon above the trees.

I did as she told me and closed the door.

"What was the z saying?" I blurted out.

She looked at her feet then turned around.

"He was telling me that my father wants to see me." She said keeping her eyes on the wet leaves.

"How does your father..." I trailed off.

"Talk to the z's?" She finished my sentence.

I could only nod.

"Take a wild guess." She finally looked up at me, her eye black eye path catching a glimpse of moon light.

"Murphey." It wasn't a question. But YN nodded anyways.

"He..." her voice cracked, she took a deep breath. "He wants to see me again. He knows I can talk to them. He wants to use me to make a *cure*. To help people live along side the z's."

I couldn't think of anything to say. I was shocked. I stood in place, trying to think of something to say.

"My family thinks Murphys dead." She broke the silence. "Please don't tell them about me talking to z's. Don't tell anyone. I don't want to see him. I.." tears started streaming down her face. "I don't want to see the man who ruined my family. Who threw me in juvie and left us to die when the z's came."

"I'll keep It a secret. No one will know.  You don't have to worry about that. And we're going to get Murphy. So if you're staying with us you will end up seeing him sooner or later. There is no denying that fact." I said.

"I can't. If my family found out.." She sobbed.

"Found out your father is alive?" I asked.

"N-no." She stuttered. "About my eye." She covered her eye patch up with her left hand.
