Infested •Chapter 3•

1st P.O.V.
    As Willow spoke to me and messed with my hair, there was suddenly a big cracking sound. It shook the whole boat and caused Willow to fall on her side. Her gun fell out of her pocket, as she stood and tried to figure out what just happened. My seasickness went down a bit by now, as I rubbed my head, feeling dizzy.
   "Darling, are you okay?" Willow asked, helping me up. I smiled and nodded, as I held her hand. "That's good," She said as she led me to the furnace room, where Felix was grabbed the infected by his hair and shoving his head into the furnace, as Kitty held the door open with a pair of welding gloves. The heat from the furnace made the room 10x hotter than it needed to be. Willow looked at Kitty and moved her grey hair out of her eyes.
   "What's happening!" She spoke loudly, trying to talk over the fire.
   "A few infected got in here, and they broke the pipes!" Kitty told everyone, as she pointed to the broken pipes behind her, still while trying to keep the furnace open. Finally, after about 30 seconds, the infected stopped moving, and Felix pushed its whole body into the furnace. He backed away, letting Kitty finally release the heavy door. I looked at Willow, who had her gun out, breathing heavily from the heat in the room. Everyone was breathing heavily. It was more than 110°. At least, that's what the thermostat read. But, it felt way hotter. Willow saw that I was getting hot and grabbed my wrist. She lead me out of the room carefully, letting me take a big breath in of the cool air.
   "Sweetheart, are you okay?" Willow asked quickly while looking all over me. I nodded, smiling at her sweetly. She let out a sigh of relief and moved my hair out of my face.  She smooshed my cheeks and wagged her tail. "Well, I don't want my little (Y/N) to be hurt! Even the tiniest bit!" She spoke, before coming close to me and giving me small kisses all over my cheek. I covered my face with my hands, embarrassed, as she giggled at me. Willow patted me on the head, before walking me to our bedroom. Our bedroom was on the lower levels, so we had to walk a bit.
    Once we got there, she picked me up and sat me on the bed, throwing the blankets on top of me. She sat next to me and pulled me on the bed. I let out a silent giggle, as she cuddled me. Her fur brushed against my skin, as she held me tight. Willow carefully set her gun on the nightstand as she hugged me. She kept hugging me until I fell asleep in her arms. The last thing I heard was her letting out a small giggle.
   When I came to, I fell out of bed, as the lights turned red, and alarms started blaring. Kitty's voice came over the loudspeaker. "WARNING. THERE IS AN INFESTATION IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE BOAT. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL."  I looked up, to wake up Willow, but I saw that she had already left. I stared at the empty bed, realizing that she had left me here. I stood up, and I started to walk out of the room and to the stairs that led upstairs. I stared down at the floor as I walked, upset that she left without me. I made it to the top of the stairs, and I tried to open the metal door, but it wouldn't budge. I twisted and turned the doorknob, but it didn't open. I kicked at the door, but still nothing. I looked at the doorframe, as I saw nails in it. More nails were being added in, followed by a hammering sound, as I banged on the door. Suddenly, I heard a voice from beyond the door.
   "Good luck, (Y/N). The other infected are hostile." The voice spoke with a chuckle at the end. I kept banging on the door, wanting to get out. I needed to see Willow. I was scared... Then, I remembered the emergency exit on the other side. I ran past the other infected and then got to the emergency exit, slamming the door behind me, and closing it with some nearby chains. I sighed, relaxing now, and I heard crying from the other side of the ship.
    "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LEFT HER IN THERE?!" Willow screamed at the other T.S.P members, making them flinch, terrified. I ran up behind her and gave her a tight hug. She saw me and immediately relaxed. She turned and hugged me back, before looking at the T.S.P members. "Do anything stupid like that again, I WILL push you overboard, and let the infected eat you alive. And I'll watch and smile. Understood?" She said, glaring at them. She pushed my head into her chest, as she hugged me tight, letting my tears fall into her black jacket. She pulled me away and looked into my eyes.
   "(Y/N), I'm here. You're safe. Calm down, Sweetheart." Willow spoke to me gently, calming me, as she pets my head. Her green eyes shined down at me, with happiness. But wait a minute...Willow's eyes are purple...
