Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA8DxRcsAC9H
241Please respect copyright.PENANA20SkV42wqN
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAi3DYq0ZCon
241Please respect copyright.PENANAjaJslTsxPW
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAWJbX2DYEEf
241Please respect copyright.PENANAqjGn88x0I7
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAaKrgRtD5uK

"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."241Please respect copyright.PENANA9egGQvUdBu
241Please respect copyright.PENANAvk2P7q7Rzw

241Please respect copyright.PENANASoWw8kN2qk
"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."241Please respect copyright.PENANABtqAPu0qGY
241Please respect copyright.PENANA6xf3vZ25gq

241Please respect copyright.PENANAoKohYKeCw0
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."241Please respect copyright.PENANAhSIGATQFTg
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..."241Please respect copyright.PENANAByyVgVvY8p
241Please respect copyright.PENANA4z7aIYpP6T

241Please respect copyright.PENANArX8PT9TO3d
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAam3Sy3nDZp
241Please respect copyright.PENANA4sXOtogvQU
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAqw7ztnMXtN
241Please respect copyright.PENANAFvjxzcGyZt
"I'm sorry, Slate."241Please respect copyright.PENANAnDbTjzyKYD
241Please respect copyright.PENANAPJJ80Mnjzv
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAWSuby5ZjlP
241Please respect copyright.PENANAwDt0ubDxkL

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 241Please respect copyright.PENANA5UOAKtM9Ne
241Please respect copyright.PENANAMwksEZDd9r
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.241Please respect copyright.PENANAR8Zk8ivxtX
241Please respect copyright.PENANAPrsP29OsCF
"Where we'rey ou this morning, Gideon?" Lyla asks him.

241Please respect copyright.PENANAYXaziX9uUN
"I'm hungry."241Please respect copyright.PENANApuxmXV2NRZ
241Please respect copyright.PENANA3BGXpsAnbz
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAFvELCBsJ81
241Please respect copyright.PENANArjVrwhFIrH

241Please respect copyright.PENANASeCJMUzEG4
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAdLl7N8Z95K
241Please respect copyright.PENANA5m24j3hWQc
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAvYoaLOAOHJ
241Please respect copyright.PENANAVDZKUguNQF
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA5gv2Dumqwe
241Please respect copyright.PENANAsMDdWEfqYI
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAlZoCHiLOMF
241Please respect copyright.PENANAe3MhnTawmK
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANARrlHLNhEzm
241Please respect copyright.PENANAw1Tm6k9v6j
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAcXCRNEv8lC
241Please respect copyright.PENANAXBjD8z8RRx
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAxSwsKuzsW5
241Please respect copyright.PENANAGsemTD6Uxp
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAMGWm44u8bF
241Please respect copyright.PENANAu4QQklUnWz
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA7uAixpmms7
241Please respect copyright.PENANAsAHEhfjayZ
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.241Please respect copyright.PENANAHgQlH48lM1
241Please respect copyright.PENANAuMcJrZiztW
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAp8PZPoDZuH
241Please respect copyright.PENANAHURWwTRNsm
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.241Please respect copyright.PENANAv0NYsVfVTy

241Please respect copyright.PENANAIov1Xo3Rr5
"Did the zombite bite you?"241Please respect copyright.PENANASuFwyreD4y
241Please respect copyright.PENANAFpqhQsdYh3
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAiRGzgHgc89
241Please respect copyright.PENANANbXgvH1swy
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?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAuT0MW6E4ZZ
241Please respect copyright.PENANAQin6ypndV7
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?!"241Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZkxdONLZc
241Please respect copyright.PENANAPzXdRi3d8I
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAcVZv70ExW9
241Please respect copyright.PENANAvh8HDAcwcw
"It's just twisted, not broken."241Please respect copyright.PENANA9WTbszMQMg

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAjay7iznG6h
241Please respect copyright.PENANA3RMhgdTLLz
"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."241Please respect copyright.PENANA8QcvdMJDC6
241Please respect copyright.PENANAR22nqMI9nJ
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.241Please respect copyright.PENANAvMNknaTkd1
241Please respect copyright.PENANA1KO7sPf2hD
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA0lhB9nbMyG
241Please respect copyright.PENANAhE7cMFEKGQ
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAEPNpSzQDJ8
241Please respect copyright.PENANA6vRnOOa6uc
"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-"241Please respect copyright.PENANA1MVjHyt6eA
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzc6O0OjNmU
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAalaHCiz3Zm
241Please respect copyright.PENANAsxCiAoJBDQ
"I don't want to talk about it."241Please respect copyright.PENANA7FN7ITP4vm
241Please respect copyright.PENANAamcQIjDBp3
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAN1vBnMP7Hj
241Please respect copyright.PENANAuLAVpoh0mB
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.241Please respect copyright.PENANAw1DedJlzZE
241Please respect copyright.PENANAKzynnxSLnA
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAhuRw28CGgz
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzVb1uo6mQG

241Please respect copyright.PENANAsg00U8wMDB

241Please respect copyright.PENANAkW7pmf6HCv
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.241Please respect copyright.PENANAYBUj1S2P3w
241Please respect copyright.PENANAUdm1rEEVxB
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.241Please respect copyright.PENANA32Tr5cSvwO
241Please respect copyright.PENANA7OoHtc2Hc6
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAxll33Ykc6b
241Please respect copyright.PENANAFYpFVVccA9

241Please respect copyright.PENANAX8CHkPOQtY
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 241Please respect copyright.PENANABG9ALeO1yF
241Please respect copyright.PENANAnRPpzpfAvb
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."241Please respect copyright.PENANAiByxjeAhtZ
241Please respect copyright.PENANA4LyDosX1hT
He sighs. "Okay, fine."241Please respect copyright.PENANAYo8L4twvY1
241Please respect copyright.PENANA00sJG7foP6
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAhBIFKVsF1Z
241Please respect copyright.PENANA7LysdpogKh
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.241Please respect copyright.PENANAX0RU7FlnCg
241Please respect copyright.PENANAKLP3SLYLSS
"Uh, hi everyone! I'm Noah, I used to be a primary school teacher - Kindergarten. This is Lindsey-"241Please respect copyright.PENANAq7QdNIhbHN

"People like me?!" Evenlyn says annoyed. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAAjPb3t5lu0
241Please respect copyright.PENANAx6TWznASjd

241Please respect copyright.PENANAJQqleOiCfi
"I guess you could say that." Slate says. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAunDBUiJTCr

"Last night, we escaped last night. It was unplanned, let's not talk about it."241Please respect copyright.PENANALQQeO5ZkUg
241Please respect copyright.PENANAqEDpkfJHes
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAxWM6p6WFjG
241Please respect copyright.PENANAAn4zFWnXAM
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAWVREcHeCr5
241Please respect copyright.PENANAsX7TgFjqUC
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAHSRbUNVUEx
241Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2xeRpL4CX

241Please respect copyright.PENANA6OLzyw494C
"For fuck sake, shut up! Stop talking to me!" She yells at him, standing up and towering over him. He looks shocked for a second then stands up. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Msjpuq02

"You don't speak to me that way."241Please respect copyright.PENANAVt2CmZdcBe

"And you don't treat us like fucking kids! Every single day, it was do this, do that, punished if we don't do what they wanted!" She yells, punching the wall. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAFGHWqrACcZ
241Please respect copyright.PENANAi5c3GN3Rxx
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA1aoNMK4MBF
241Please respect copyright.PENANA9gkQ6mVjNi
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.241Please respect copyright.PENANAVXuDsioj1O
241Please respect copyright.PENANAQNFT97cTnm
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAPUCoBBJ2jz
241Please respect copyright.PENANA5F2zM5aQZX
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANArKJOmZajU7
241Please respect copyright.PENANA1eYty5b3gk
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.241Please respect copyright.PENANACGhrHakcNs
241Please respect copyright.PENANAcc1Ps9l9JQ
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAts7wKR8ILk
241Please respect copyright.PENANAUKAbYAivHl
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAVyv16efRDs
241Please respect copyright.PENANAWm6JGGKm93
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.241Please respect copyright.PENANAy6LuCz6laM
241Please respect copyright.PENANA23WUBUokbX
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.241Please respect copyright.PENANApth5H4mpeL
241Please respect copyright.PENANAJDgX4ynvn6
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAUIYeLrJRJ6
241Please respect copyright.PENANAy07OGP4lNf
"I know."241Please respect copyright.PENANAqHTt1mhbLS
241Please respect copyright.PENANAN0ArK4KIHB
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAzc6zccMmHh
241Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ42KOWVEa
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.241Please respect copyright.PENANAo6YsVSJS6X

---241Please respect copyright.PENANA2KPSr3oRF4
241Please respect copyright.PENANAAvjdWoizfj
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA2g4HfMj7ly
241Please respect copyright.PENANAwekueaTMHy
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAsoDMMHaaFa
241Please respect copyright.PENANASWku3k7yqH
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA36zX966bO6
241Please respect copyright.PENANAjxw9X26xza
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.241Please respect copyright.PENANAfOpiajVGZz
241Please respect copyright.PENANA8oHa92NQ3x
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAujZmVCVHHa
241Please respect copyright.PENANA7ESaOW70xw
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA9bVemxSRoJ

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAsI8G5qc9rf
241Please respect copyright.PENANATKbUFK7uD6

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...241Please respect copyright.PENANAAbhaIy77FG

"You don't have to have the baby, Evelyn."241Please respect copyright.PENANAWclSaXiZd4

And he sits down beside Beth, teaching her. After sometime, there is movement in the back room and Paisley pokes her head out, followed by Slate.241Please respect copyright.PENANAyZhW1cRhSJ
241Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ2u1LSTgC
"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.241Please respect copyright.PENANAnNhjzwahJL
241Please respect copyright.PENANAHaRWEBrQmn
"Thank you." She responds, starting to show off with the guitar pick, Lindsey gave her. He takes a seat opposite to them, forgetting about Paisley. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAdBY5zgp9MT
241Please respect copyright.PENANAncxmhiUVmX
"Who's this person?" Paisley asks, opening a pantry door which reveals some photos tacked to the door. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAYLNdplGqjq
241Please respect copyright.PENANAPl4L4XkBvj
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAntSU47wz0B

"No, you keep it. You don't have anything, you deserve it." Lindsey tells her, rejecting it. "Just promise you will keep practicing."241Please respect copyright.PENANAenlSYUGV5r
241Please respect copyright.PENANAVS1ezANIDO
Slate redirects Paisley, shutting the door. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAmyiVmaIHOa

"That's Opal. She's dead." Evelyn announces. Noah looks back, but doesn't say anything.241Please respect copyright.PENANACiE2fRe1gq

241Please respect copyright.PENANAPGlouA9vzx
"Left where?" Slate asks confused, looking at Evelyn and her belly. Bethany waves her hand, giving him the look to shut up. 241Please respect copyright.PENANA470TnmfwzL
241Please respect copyright.PENANAXUBuXxriJr
He gets it. "Uh... So, what are we going to do about-"241Please respect copyright.PENANArfITQNSqjE
241Please respect copyright.PENANARHvKuKSSU0
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAJI5c2JrUMv
241Please respect copyright.PENANAhybqTKqaTB
"Thank you. There was no Plan B- Well, C..." Slate trails off. "C?" Beth asks confused, things dying down after this and the van continues through the blizzardy night, Noah having to pull over sometime later as it was becoming to unsafe to continue driving.241Please respect copyright.PENANApyGdbPXdzD
