Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 239Please respect copyright.PENANANAoqxgKlj7
239Please respect copyright.PENANAkM8bSgNNY9
Slate sits up, rubbing his eyes. Paisley nestled in Lyla's arms, both girls still asleep and Zekey lying nearby, his little doggy tail waving back and fourth, snoozes coming from him.239Please respect copyright.PENANANCrJPvdY5N
239Please respect copyright.PENANA3ks6YVPuFn
"Dreaming of bacon? Cause we got barely any food." Slate mutters, standing up, an ache in his back. He yawns, noticing Gideon is nowhere to be seen, the fire is dying, he'll have to restart it instead, and check on Bethany. He hobbles over to the fire, adding a few logs.239Please respect copyright.PENANAmuuQ11vMFM
239Please respect copyright.PENANAQdo6YQazkd
When that is done, he checks on Beth. She's fast asleep under the blankets on the bed. Looking out the window, he can see Gideon out in the snow- his face blushes when he relizes and looks away.239Please respect copyright.PENANAWUr0WdldOB

"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."239Please respect copyright.PENANAjiHV5J4I1c

239Please respect copyright.PENANAjDylL2X8fE
"Sounds like a reasonable dream as a result then. I can actually think of so many books, movies, shows, games about them. Geez, society was obsessed with them."239Please respect copyright.PENANAmzH2mzfcNj

239Please respect copyright.PENANAEJcmECsURV
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."239Please respect copyright.PENANA0F9UDFe36p

239Please respect copyright.PENANA12xnf6kMGX

239Please respect copyright.PENANAYlfcoAYUls
When they hear the back side door opening. Slate places a hand on his gun and takes it out, slowly looking around the side of the room, Beth following behind him. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAIEpt4FMbAr
239Please respect copyright.PENANAGT8JkyVRzJ
"Ah, geez!" Gideon yells when he sees it. Lyla and Paisley sit up shocked, having been awoken. "Why the hell didn't you anounce yourself when you came in? We are in the middle of nowhere, Gid and we don't know anyone else!" Slate lectures him.239Please respect copyright.PENANAlzk5HpBOiZ
239Please respect copyright.PENANAR9sVzKc1zt
"I'm sorry, Slate."239Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Z3rTy7Ox
239Please respect copyright.PENANAvTskxdjpUR
"Woof!" Zekey barks, tongue out and smiling. Everyone looks to him. "How's our favorite boy this morning?" Gideon says, picking Zekey up and ruffling his fur. 239Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wo4dYyq6A

Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.239Please respect copyright.PENANAHxQYenr5Le

"I'm hungry."239Please respect copyright.PENANA86eP6KCp0F

Everyone looks down at Paisley. "I know you are, don't worry. We're going to go out and look for more food. We have none left." Slate tells her. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAH8tNnFi1Fh
239Please respect copyright.PENANAlX7VLMgsDQ

239Please respect copyright.PENANAcjpwbOjzmu
"My stomach's kind of hurting, Slate and my asthma is playing up. Can I stay here?" Begs Lyla. "And Paisley should stay here too..." not wanting to call her naive to her face. 239Please respect copyright.PENANANZ8xmkO8j0
239Please respect copyright.PENANAD09wJLG77f
"Uh, I'll come." Gideon speaks up. Slate looks at Beth. "Okay, party of 3 it is." He says, stocking up the fire up more so it stays warm for Zekey and the girls longer.239Please respect copyright.PENANAGr44aqoTe1
239Please respect copyright.PENANApDK8K8pATb
Our three head outside in the snow, stumbling around for a good while. It's nothing but trees for miles and the hill keeps sloping down as where they came from, the shelter was at the top of the mountain.239Please respect copyright.PENANAmpETD6fMkN
239Please respect copyright.PENANAcJuvIXpFnH
"It may not be blizzarding right now, and the sun is out, but we're getting to far away from the lodge. Let's go back." Gideon worries.239Please respect copyright.PENANA0IRoxYefxo
239Please respect copyright.PENANAxsgThW3fpc
"But we haven't found any more food." Beth complains, both standing off with eachother when they hear a growl. "Is that a bear?" Slate asks, pulling out his gun.239Please respect copyright.PENANAmvp00yLlgd
239Please respect copyright.PENANAAZb5IIwMwy
They see a figure, a person standing opposite to them. It looks up, it's eyeballs half falling out, face squished, teeth rotting, body decaying. 239Please respect copyright.PENANALdgr5ifn40
239Please respect copyright.PENANASCPj2r1hae
"Who the fuck are you?" Slate says, the figure leeping at him. "Run!" Gideon yells taking off sideways back up the lodge, and Bethany starts running up a icy road, that bends around the corner, trees blocking her from seeing what's around the corner. 239Please respect copyright.PENANA70K3nsviEH
239Please respect copyright.PENANAul0XoXOgtu
"Hey, man. Chill, don't make me shoot you." Slate says backing away from the person who is advancing on him when he hears Beth scream and looks in her direction. She's lying on he road, having twisted her ankle. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAm4OddBC2Wb
239Please respect copyright.PENANAMhglg1Ka1T
"Beth? You okay?" He says when the person launches on him. "Slate, watch out!" She yells, and the scuffle begins just as she hears screaching and bright lights, a RV come hurtling around the corner. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAOed9SNqbkO
239Please respect copyright.PENANAx7himLJCqw
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.239Please respect copyright.PENANAUOSDKPtqQm
239Please respect copyright.PENANArG47ZMyknZ
"You idiot! Get off the road, you could have gotten yourself killed! How old are you?! 15? Highways aren't for playing on!" A man is yelling at her. She looks up to see a man with straight brown hair on the long side sitting at the wheel off an RV, he has pulled the window open. Then he looks up, seeing Slate scuffling with the stranger and raises a gun of his own. "No, wait!" She yells, him firing and the stranger falls down, Slate relieved and turns to look to see an RV. 239Please respect copyright.PENANALEw9qCrWgo
239Please respect copyright.PENANAsJgjLpZbN4
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.239Please respect copyright.PENANAcUyHQhZEt7

"Did the zombite bite you?"239Please respect copyright.PENANAFiqtOSeN5r
239Please respect copyright.PENANAGTLG59SMv8
"I don't think so. That's a..." and Slate's mind goes back to his earlier conversation with Beth. He looks to Beth and she looks at him, neither knowing what to think.239Please respect copyright.PENANAHQecL0Hdqe
239Please respect copyright.PENANAZfrm8d36QG
A man from further in the RV takes a seat beside the man driving, this one has curly raven hair. "Lindsey. Why'd we stop? Evelyn wants to know too. You fired your gun?"239Please respect copyright.PENANAkQzRh9eiCW
239Please respect copyright.PENANA1VdBmfyx7I
The man in the drivers seat breathes. "Sorry, Noah." And he points to Bethany and Slate on the road. "Oh my god!" Says Noah, jumping to the door and exiting the RV. He picks Bethany up, "Are you okay?!"239Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZKZpiYWiQ
239Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ4hO5dwci
And takes her inside, Slate following. Noah lay's her down on a fold out couch and bends down to her level. "Can I feel your foot?" He asks, she nods saying nothing and he removes her shoe, inspecting her foot.239Please respect copyright.PENANAzOnDZMTWN3
239Please respect copyright.PENANA5G55sC6ieK
"It's just twisted, not broken."239Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cp4hxnfNs

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 239Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dcj9jpfJ7
239Please respect copyright.PENANA9jADucwxZt
"Primary school teacher - Kindergarten. Well, was." Noah responds. "What are you both doing out here?" Lindsey asks. "And you're both not dressed for this weather. Well, he is. But you're not girly."239Please respect copyright.PENANAqxn6ue1F9c
239Please respect copyright.PENANAO2h6jeFXpc
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.239Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZQuHi78ir
239Please respect copyright.PENANAtFHQ3ESeiz
"Oh, enough!" Booms a voice, and they all turn to look at the next room, the door opening and a visbly pregnant woman shuffling out. "Evelyn I presume?" Slate asks. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAHEbBxKimtW
239Please respect copyright.PENANAboVD6ndi0q
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"239Please respect copyright.PENANAZUkLEqg5bF
239Please respect copyright.PENANACFM1ITwctx
"That was a zombie wasn't it?" Slate asks, pointing to the fallen figure outside the RV on the road. "Is it not obvious?" She says annoyed. "Sorry-"239Please respect copyright.PENANAB8YkE0gVYE
239Please respect copyright.PENANA4zvuKp8dsC
"It's fine, I understand why." He responds trying not to look at her belly. "What happened to you head? It's covered in that bandage." Noah says, reaching a hand out and Slate slaps it away.239Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Uitkhatb
239Please respect copyright.PENANACrL7KmDL2q
"I don't want to talk about it."239Please respect copyright.PENANAECzqRuZ0es
239Please respect copyright.PENANA7XrMxuc7Gz
"Slate, let's just leave." Beth says, trying to get up and walk. "Uh, no. Neither of you are in any state to go outside. You need warmer clothes, your ankle is twisted and you, look at that bandage on your head. It is bleeding alot still. You need fresh bandages, gauze and more. 239Please respect copyright.PENANACe2oc9Czuk
239Please respect copyright.PENANAmYZGjPogou
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.239Please respect copyright.PENANAL8KCUQXD4j
239Please respect copyright.PENANABf813wDCDo
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAywy99jWdLf

239Please respect copyright.PENANA661guiKHuP
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.239Please respect copyright.PENANApwrncgqPv6

"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.239Please respect copyright.PENANAxJrdxlzwmQ
239Please respect copyright.PENANAuJMYJW7UKq
"Alright, lets all calm down a minute, everyone." Noah says calmly. "Why don't we drive up and get your friends and... the dog. Bring them inside here, we can get you all warmer clothes, a meal and we can talk.239Please respect copyright.PENANAHLK6rxN00e
239Please respect copyright.PENANAJTilWaRVgC

239Please respect copyright.PENANAc49JAvUFKF
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."239Please respect copyright.PENANA4dGVXJ9JBx
239Please respect copyright.PENANA7pi9GjbPaf
He sighs. "Okay, fine."239Please respect copyright.PENANA85LbC6CvWj
239Please respect copyright.PENANA58eajmD7dC
And Slate follows Noah to the front, taking a seat in the passengar seat, Noah starting up the RV. Lindsey and Evelyn hang back with Bethany, but she won't look at them or talk them. They make it up the mountain and Slate leaves, heading inside to get his and Bethany's stuff and inform the others. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAGN1sQrgNj8
239Please respect copyright.PENANAsAl7WOAaOL
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.239Please respect copyright.PENANAxAUtiagiqZ

239Please respect copyright.PENANANTyVDXEfDQ
"Okay, let's just stop it all. You want some food? I'll go in the back and find you all some warmer clothes." Noah smiles. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAvGL4PAdWn1
239Please respect copyright.PENANA7JybUQOd3c
"Thank you." Bethany speaks up, interrupting Slate. After being stationary for a while the RV, our group is now dressed warmer and they've all been fed.239Please respect copyright.PENANAXfuQXoGO9F
239Please respect copyright.PENANADmRCiCKiRw
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 239Please respect copyright.PENANApIyapbxAQh

239Please respect copyright.PENANAiQCVZn0GXt
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 239Please respect copyright.PENANA0u16hHSMFg
239Please respect copyright.PENANAipoi5Urqs2
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.239Please respect copyright.PENANABcYnJ4Pq0V
239Please respect copyright.PENANAGLkZlR9R0o
"I'm sorry, you're right. You are adults, you just look barely like one. You guys have been through hell. Do you all want to go to the back and get some sleep? We'll be up here if you want us." Noah blurts out quickly trying to defuse everything, gesturing to Lidnsey to come up the front of the RV.239Please respect copyright.PENANAOr1AnvBIBg
239Please respect copyright.PENANAMcl9yRok0G
Our group all stand up and walk to the back, finding a double bed. The room is small, but there is some additional sleeping bags stashed in the corner. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAHvW11ZhwMa
239Please respect copyright.PENANAcJp73JAcyz
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.239Please respect copyright.PENANAIOF75PM6At
239Please respect copyright.PENANAM37XF0wWtZ
"Yeah." Noah breathes. "What we we going to do with them? They can't stay outside alone, they won't survive. They're not prepared for this.239Please respect copyright.PENANAwRysnA77XA
239Please respect copyright.PENANArsrZK4wb1g
That boy, Slate, he didn't even know that was a zombie at first and the bandage on his head, something happened there. A accident? And Beth, those cuts on her neck, her wrists. It's clear she's attempted to harm herself before.239Please respect copyright.PENANAmPYcVb8aIz
239Please respect copyright.PENANADQRnUxq3qV
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.239Please respect copyright.PENANASI5f1IJ9rz
239Please respect copyright.PENANAOBrcuBGYWP
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.239Please respect copyright.PENANA7c00DIVTsr
239Please respect copyright.PENANAQJY7h1c5m3
"Okay, but we'll outgrow this RV. There is five of them, a dog, three of us and our soon to be born baby." Evelyn tells them.239Please respect copyright.PENANAh0q0Ig7WG6
239Please respect copyright.PENANATIIittCpEP
"I know."239Please respect copyright.PENANAbT5ZAFYRCQ
239Please respect copyright.PENANAux55lJ7nF7
"We'll work it out, it'll just take some planning. For now, let's just hit the road again and hopefully they wake up in a better mood later." Lindsey says, heading to the wheel, Noah following while Evelyn takes a seat on the couch, leaning back. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAGc3WdkYBTj
239Please respect copyright.PENANA80YVRgHCNv
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.239Please respect copyright.PENANAq5QoAJxkI6

239Please respect copyright.PENANAx4GWoxA2DO
Beth can feel the gentle bumps from the RV driving along, she sits up the room completly dark. She slides out of her sleeping bag and leaves the bed where the rest of her friends are. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAPVJUalQOZa
239Please respect copyright.PENANAxwsE9CUa5l
They all squeezed in to fit on the bed, none wanting to sleep on the floor. She lifts up the blinds and looks out, seeing blankets of snow for miles, it's blizzarding heavily outside and nighttime.239Please respect copyright.PENANATXTZPSpPHv
239Please respect copyright.PENANAz7zot5W6eb
She heads back to her friends, and digs around in her stuff, finding her guitar and leaves the bedroom, gently shutting the door behind her to see Lindsey up front driving, Noah and Evelyn sitting on the couch, food on the table infront of them. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAekF6UEUemD
239Please respect copyright.PENANAHjzNUE9pKY
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.239Please respect copyright.PENANAYFNSHSy9yc
239Please respect copyright.PENANAunWodb6UrN
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5FF3fLpH6
239Please respect copyright.PENANACqaG931n4y
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAUaHwq9Ktw8

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 239Please respect copyright.PENANAa84qcd5e2E

"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.239Please respect copyright.PENANAMosaydiecs
