Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAUH8q6nwPZT
58Please respect copyright.PENANAZAIPjYjKQN
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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAuMDaqtMQNC
58Please respect copyright.PENANASUUVWsfM18
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAV02TkD7XHN
58Please respect copyright.PENANAkp9HpnPu1U
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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAoSnhDIlFCp

"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."58Please respect copyright.PENANAbE6bzwb7Ex

58Please respect copyright.PENANAHD1H2uyKEA

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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANA6HkAbNc8Tm
58Please respect copyright.PENANAebMw9h0w1s
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAV0Bc5cWojD
58Please respect copyright.PENANAvBcwv4zQry
"I'm sorry, Slate."58Please respect copyright.PENANAF8zpSrj7sE

"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANA7vOVNIHifH
58Please respect copyright.PENANAoABbQdJEUH
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAJna04qL7Tg
58Please respect copyright.PENANAh5GtLDpHR4
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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAwkxZlrjeFX
58Please respect copyright.PENANAJIXloKXxuq
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAXEfDgFsgXb
58Please respect copyright.PENANAtiPD9GiZAd
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANA4mJ0NDST5Q
58Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ17fS4auu
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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANA8nNDP3kvcc
58Please respect copyright.PENANAYt1pNLxEd3
"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAtj7Hg3UnKa
58Please respect copyright.PENANAHlS1sMW5Yr
"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAwIfMvBuZUS
58Please respect copyright.PENANAIG21luRe7w
"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAau0j517u1t
58Please respect copyright.PENANACkiOmba5wB
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.58Please respect copyright.PENANAaYb2MKGLof
58Please respect copyright.PENANAmtemU3aEIY
"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAwySRmIP8tR
58Please respect copyright.PENANAeottwSGsWT
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.58Please respect copyright.PENANAuFyuOzX3gS

58Please respect copyright.PENANAGkp5aUzRvB
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANABw3kONj3nx
58Please respect copyright.PENANAHkiIZ6IRRH
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?"58Please respect copyright.PENANAL54FHsMbwb
58Please respect copyright.PENANA8lERHEXnUL
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?!"58Please respect copyright.PENANA3B5rFisXU4
58Please respect copyright.PENANASvZBteXVOQ
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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAK0LXiKHlpw
58Please respect copyright.PENANAAerGnsAdA4

"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.58Please respect copyright.PENANAuuT9rf97mb
58Please respect copyright.PENANARHXTLnSypZ
"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAd0D3JCtTtO
58Please respect copyright.PENANAtQqcZu5NxT
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"58Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Epp9Dm9h
58Please respect copyright.PENANAYMlimDas6l
"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-"58Please respect copyright.PENANAru13nSx9EK
58Please respect copyright.PENANAOD7sSzgRpR
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAvY2ROdf6Ge
58Please respect copyright.PENANAXIQNU1gFQT
"I don't want to talk about it."58Please respect copyright.PENANAokcaZrwmPN
58Please respect copyright.PENANAd99UNVNzOV
"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAVR7vQ2GNiA
58Please respect copyright.PENANAkkHgnPpcbI
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.58Please respect copyright.PENANAux9ZB0QeoO

"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.58Please respect copyright.PENANAgIooOhimHo

Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."58Please respect copyright.PENANAy8KOLJN2pZ
58Please respect copyright.PENANAOxAftLFTsa
He sighs. "Okay, fine."58Please respect copyright.PENANA5CICeRoZ8m
58Please respect copyright.PENANAjrmTfWurn3
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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANArlklbDEG94
58Please respect copyright.PENANAjIGKoxttSO
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.58Please respect copyright.PENANARsVSHyUnJV

58Please respect copyright.PENANAV72p3Gsgve
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAVBak9D9feu

"Your neck." Evenlyn says.58Please respect copyright.PENANAnFdXbJmq2m
58Please respect copyright.PENANAd0iLyyW4yi
"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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAPHPAsjkfC4
58Please respect copyright.PENANAncMMBL8UDN
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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANA6CCggNPIKm

58Please respect copyright.PENANASYVQ5HdTV6
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.58Please respect copyright.PENANAx5LrLh6KvN
58Please respect copyright.PENANASk1Gx85Gx3
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.58Please respect copyright.PENANAkhZJ8zlKwg

58Please respect copyright.PENANArVBAoqUTUZ
"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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAv6ZtkowKQj

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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAy8twXoXVcp
58Please respect copyright.PENANAvEUNHbnKZb
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.58Please respect copyright.PENANA8tqXGauUjs
58Please respect copyright.PENANA0axoC3Kiz4
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. 58Please respect copyright.PENANAy4wDUGYFUz
