Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 59Please respect copyright.PENANANh52MFCvZO
59Please respect copyright.PENANAO0b1ufEjRh
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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAn819ojyvrA
59Please respect copyright.PENANAurIJmQuqkS
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANA0fURP8NaTh
59Please respect copyright.PENANAB5LqVtW2ul
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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAF6KG9OXOte
59Please respect copyright.PENANAscdDF5Ppem
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."59Please respect copyright.PENANA3nALOXTq2J
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3SWMYd2Zeq

59Please respect copyright.PENANAbA2Zn1ruB6

59Please respect copyright.PENANAE1khXDKPDG

59Please respect copyright.PENANAKJEQmTHhs5
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."59Please respect copyright.PENANAtJl2MR5KVk
And they both laugh. "This feels weird, since escaping... it feels like I can think for the first time. I still don't know who I am or where I came from, but..."59Please respect copyright.PENANAGi1ERdD8TV
59Please respect copyright.PENANANIkHL2wMxT

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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAkEcPh8XSSI
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3FLS2WYJWy
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAsludpFa7Py
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3RII071701
"I'm sorry, Slate."59Please respect copyright.PENANA9XOiUrYcuy
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZnNvL0Dnj4
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAHvKYwFp9my
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZUM6um9O1D

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 59Please respect copyright.PENANAflxkWbYiy5
59Please respect copyright.PENANAiHMeivnsOH
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.59Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q08EugK7H
59Please respect copyright.PENANApdcGPpP4yy
"Where we'rey ou this morning, Gideon?" Lyla asks him.

"I'm hungry."59Please respect copyright.PENANAcCeIvpccPv

59Please respect copyright.PENANAHLUlbL8jh4

59Please respect copyright.PENANA9yYw3tENHa
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAxTVW3RCufw
59Please respect copyright.PENANAILeQnbRuv1
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAJC0ckc8NQW
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnDWSCnaFhJ
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.59Please respect copyright.PENANADhsiINitJ9
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzpV5E7Ebd1
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAaWalmENEy8
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsug31wZR8X
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANA370CphIij0
59Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nx0ghdIqj
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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAqCPK8ygwDp
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6KLCL8hFnG
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAOcgjGeMhg3
59Please respect copyright.PENANADeuLLk4BMP
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANA6EF4x4zBxq
59Please respect copyright.PENANAowH0Y6JnTE
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAZKcarzjruQ
59Please respect copyright.PENANAc5D9HltWSg
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.59Please respect copyright.PENANAZbcSzhKF4k
59Please respect copyright.PENANAv2jr6PX8IN
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAXGQ4wlW21f
59Please respect copyright.PENANAeTr3enpynp
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.59Please respect copyright.PENANAaammga9Dk0

59Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z8CjdvdFU
"Did the zombite bite you?"59Please respect copyright.PENANAW28unMxFTD
59Please respect copyright.PENANAUZYW41hQ7R
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAMqQEhQCTJu
59Please respect copyright.PENANAV3UGQ0Gg2e
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?"59Please respect copyright.PENANA8wIVuwtknD
59Please respect copyright.PENANAC3oVI2Sg0U
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?!"59Please respect copyright.PENANAxbDfxuEyCd
59Please respect copyright.PENANA60gpJiHl2l
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.59Please respect copyright.PENANA4VCHEpErYA
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjcDAhNpi0t
"It's just twisted, not broken."59Please respect copyright.PENANALhDoebEaB4

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAKt9tQ27JdZ
59Please respect copyright.PENANApxYLUDpE8D
"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."59Please respect copyright.PENANAXVRutNgE9N
59Please respect copyright.PENANAq5dIKN9nsa
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.59Please respect copyright.PENANA9mlbq0lfj6
59Please respect copyright.PENANASZIPCoqi6q
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANA9UjiXLS1QS
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZtdFgx4Emh
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"59Please respect copyright.PENANAfjfuEvcdt3
59Please respect copyright.PENANAaCMD1p9wQc
"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-"59Please respect copyright.PENANAsYoiadSonz
59Please respect copyright.PENANASv9JuEiWY4
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAlTO4pYMOaL
59Please respect copyright.PENANAJyfjAAqD09
"I don't want to talk about it."59Please respect copyright.PENANAOYpvnBVY9D
59Please respect copyright.PENANA8zgNoj9Aej
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANA9p5XDf1iOZ
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGmF7Zp0Oaw
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.59Please respect copyright.PENANAfEakavvMBA

59Please respect copyright.PENANArdpNXjceTc

59Please respect copyright.PENANA9RozMPUgV7
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.59Please respect copyright.PENANAGcnD0rbb3M
59Please respect copyright.PENANA8R6BjL6Sei
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.59Please respect copyright.PENANA0w6Ccmx0Qs
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsd43qhGeLk
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAQajwsUSpSX

"Beth!" Slate says. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAmVItPtvBb7
59Please respect copyright.PENANArUSUzjXwC7
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 59Please respect copyright.PENANArl5Cj8cyd8
59Please respect copyright.PENANAeuwvzcIT6r
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."59Please respect copyright.PENANAIVdnfe7NJa
59Please respect copyright.PENANA6CoUeajij6
He sighs. "Okay, fine."59Please respect copyright.PENANAh9JoUYqDwH
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYJYswrsDtR
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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAYRQD7oHYup
59Please respect copyright.PENANAEDyVbzKtdN
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.59Please respect copyright.PENANAJE4C5BSZel

59Please respect copyright.PENANAOMdW2U0OXK
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANA8rVKFTsy0g
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2xqcgBsPiC
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAT9DwnIRxn6
59Please respect copyright.PENANAdCLi0Ge7oE
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAhYLDhSA8hM

59Please respect copyright.PENANAoA9elLrm8z
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAfOe0bfoifb
59Please respect copyright.PENANAUirxCcAXqJ
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.59Please respect copyright.PENANADu0X6CBxmz
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsXBMeI4Eht
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANA0uSWQCWnUU
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXdvHhjLMqS
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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAUucXHshUNG
59Please respect copyright.PENANALzOFrrO3tN
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.59Please respect copyright.PENANATqey3Zp7ln
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3TX2LeVMG2

59Please respect copyright.PENANApoQjdAhuYH
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.59Please respect copyright.PENANABFRh9MWxNw
59Please respect copyright.PENANAN88iDaYu2J
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.59Please respect copyright.PENANAKeGs6VamID
59Please respect copyright.PENANAf5vGxu8buC
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.59Please respect copyright.PENANA1U00STg5gX
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYF2UMwrTtK
"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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAuX9w8Mm3N1
59Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ1ljEPMXP
"I know."59Please respect copyright.PENANA7bS8gmgwrD
59Please respect copyright.PENANAyGoSSal1Gy
"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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANA9vBhuJjvr7
59Please respect copyright.PENANAPTvFPoLMba
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.59Please respect copyright.PENANAbW8IjO26aL

59Please respect copyright.PENANAVpJr6g8xhD
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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANASVOlPu9ZyT
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2pDmqYDmmh
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.59Please respect copyright.PENANAepbdZZyfJd
59Please respect copyright.PENANAY65moFn2xX
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. 59Please respect copyright.PENANA692nCzGTqF
59Please respect copyright.PENANA8vxAGtrTSO
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.59Please respect copyright.PENANAbQyUGUVp0O

"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAAIGj8galVV

59Please respect copyright.PENANAKAIjjmLeMT
Left alot of people to die... I... I went into hiding in a fully furnished multi-bunker for other goverment employees. I feel bad for not doing more to save people. I left, and here I am...59Please respect copyright.PENANA1NZYikVBa1

"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.59Please respect copyright.PENANAhZKmDESKAL

59Please respect copyright.PENANAkvaxPVd6qh
"Who's this person?" Paisley asks, opening a pantry door which reveals some photos tacked to the door. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0NOMTtvMt
59Please respect copyright.PENANAwKuUOgKGI1
"Uh, Paisley. Don't dig around-" Slate begins. "Its okay." Evelyn speaks up. Beth hands the guitar pick back to Lindsey preparing to stand with Slate to stop Paisley. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAr4ZnAdPTPQ

Slate redirects Paisley, shutting the door. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAltm7G8GPZU

59Please respect copyright.PENANA8MRrzBSE93
"Left where?" Slate asks confused, looking at Evelyn and her belly. Bethany waves her hand, giving him the look to shut up. 59Please respect copyright.PENANAwllGTwfjXR

He gets it. "Uh... So, what are we going to do about-"59Please respect copyright.PENANAJbLVfNCUOr

"You all are staying here with us. Well, we can't make you stay actually... but if you want to, there is room for you. You're welcome here." Evelyn points out.59Please respect copyright.PENANAnAf3VJpMFc
59Please respect copyright.PENANACJmDKDzuHu
"Thank you. There was no Plan B- Well, C..." Slate trails off. "C?"
