Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAQb1MufAXU4
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHO6wKcRYcT
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANA6WvM5bEmng
189Please respect copyright.PENANAOhFUwcv4dv
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANA2o8yK65q4D
189Please respect copyright.PENANArrhELBzMfh
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAThyY8VoCnp
189Please respect copyright.PENANAhJCNn8qfDA
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."189Please respect copyright.PENANAG3hqkev8Jh
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGTpUzF7dbv
"Mmm, Slate?" Beth whispers, stretching her arms, waking up. He takes a seat on the bed. "How'd you sleep?" He asks, smiling.189Please respect copyright.PENANATN6FiMwRGy
189Please respect copyright.PENANAaP9LJ4UoOC
"Had this weird dream, I wouldn't call it a nightmare..."189Please respect copyright.PENANANMJ2VZWchz

"Think it was cause we saw that weird person hobbling around after dark."189Please respect copyright.PENANAYhEVosu71I
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWbNEMCHWgI
"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."189Please respect copyright.PENANAGaqNp9EBxp
189Please respect copyright.PENANAoYbKVWZYRv

189Please respect copyright.PENANApSb0uzywwL
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."189Please respect copyright.PENANA1OoTkWB5qX
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..."189Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0hLxvVS5k
189Please respect copyright.PENANARprX3ab8Mj
"Can think of pop culture refrences and other stuff?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAhGb1rRuKNe
189Please respect copyright.PENANAh4wu2O9fFJ
"Yeah."189Please respect copyright.PENANA4J1NYpmDvI

"We'll have to ask the others what they remember."189Please respect copyright.PENANA3JPmUttVhz
189Please respect copyright.PENANAo4pKqEKUky
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAm9vX8jVcWj
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxzeyLmzFTv
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANA6rRzU1ab7Z
189Please respect copyright.PENANAmUVWn34aYk
"I'm sorry, Slate."189Please respect copyright.PENANABnWKoMcmBs
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2AV7M6e62w
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAjFkvFGtpE0
189Please respect copyright.PENANAg15qLoaMN6

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 189Please respect copyright.PENANAFNKywvvw7T
189Please respect copyright.PENANAobSvY8uNsu
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.189Please respect copyright.PENANAApRkWxJRHo
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnTQ7ch8ah7
"Where we'rey ou this morning, Gideon?" Lyla asks him.

189Please respect copyright.PENANAWuyZJWtDsB
"I'm hungry."189Please respect copyright.PENANAXHjRVXNple
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5KDvwqcNgK
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAdgZeXz4uxw
189Please respect copyright.PENANAmWBaa0IhTR

189Please respect copyright.PENANA9uaZUlSHCG
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAn2v58pBYUA
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4gddrjKsDx
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANApD77Tp8Ovw
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxawPqLy8jK
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAaT8LDcsqNM
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzGmUNHHYu8
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAqI5WhpIrz8
189Please respect copyright.PENANA8PJSJjOZiV
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAK5Ueo72IP6
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJnLlk9UaPp
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANA9a9NDyCuUM
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlxPSi5m6ur
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANA3LzUqjVcIz
189Please respect copyright.PENANACtbLVAAePk
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAcYEBBowYUl
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWaj7nDOtjS
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAAE56fxzFAI
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5eQw0kMt5n
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.189Please respect copyright.PENANAv8kQxmz1x9
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzokhbnLk3x
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAUiG0CtvtCV
189Please respect copyright.PENANA3tinEpgt0F
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.189Please respect copyright.PENANAvub4szNzGx
189Please respect copyright.PENANAskW0j52SIc
"Bitten?"189Please respect copyright.PENANA9ydTbmQuoz
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHzI4w4DGYm
"Did the zombite bite you?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAgJCpBmUWhr
189Please respect copyright.PENANAT8YdUQMASo
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANA5SMQVsjE99
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2EugDfezmz
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?"189Please respect copyright.PENANA6SvcT1Lwiz
189Please respect copyright.PENANAd3R0a3F1l4
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?!"189Please respect copyright.PENANASbyT7xmsI9
189Please respect copyright.PENANAbkN5uxGitX
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAt0JPeR0MBn
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgQtKw2zGwa
"It's just twisted, not broken."189Please respect copyright.PENANAs4xGtpxWoB
189Please respect copyright.PENANAidwCuV1iba
"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAiTP0WZxY3K
189Please respect copyright.PENANASN8dcUcSIe
"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."189Please respect copyright.PENANAVUJfLVJmGU
189Please respect copyright.PENANAawIgVm3a0N
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.189Please respect copyright.PENANANwpy1zd2qO
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxoUUqpDzCh
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAZk0rmhW5je
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiK8E2lIqOx
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAvfsYFJbOY2
189Please respect copyright.PENANAscoQx30NmC
"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-"189Please respect copyright.PENANAGhCNBJT70f
189Please respect copyright.PENANAks4KVJdQCi
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAKPgvWHvPEB
189Please respect copyright.PENANAtiZUkdMJ08
"I don't want to talk about it."189Please respect copyright.PENANAsZLAADsCaL
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiNZBoI5IOw
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAxLAfroreBk
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcaF8f7dnNX
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.189Please respect copyright.PENANAUkwNQM0aho
189Please respect copyright.PENANAOmo0YN8bCY
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAuegTrQ54F0
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlBP7BZv8uN
"29." Slate says. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAPdrlrGRbCg

"Shut up, you're lying."189Please respect copyright.PENANADHI3BfFB7k
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgMogdHIJW7
"I don't care if you don't believe us. We're leaving. This world is infested with freaking zombies. We didn't even bloody remember, but we'll deal with it."189Please respect copyright.PENANAIF2vfVO1f6
189Please respect copyright.PENANARQ6dVEd3ta
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.189Please respect copyright.PENANAAWoQOgUkeO
189Please respect copyright.PENANAESFZLJ5qJ8
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.189Please respect copyright.PENANAgC8rtkjM38
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnQHIq3DtFE
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAm5XTsYTgAV
189Please respect copyright.PENANAOlmxC45aE3
Where did you guys come from? Where are your parents?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAUegF3D9mzU

189Please respect copyright.PENANAhQpYIom6h3
"Beth!" Slate says. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAzzzcyWKntG
189Please respect copyright.PENANAMcMCoi7B6e
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 189Please respect copyright.PENANA3nV32qQGFN
189Please respect copyright.PENANAQXvZmDLG0u
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."189Please respect copyright.PENANAnHt5fQuaCb
189Please respect copyright.PENANAE8f18kzkxw
He sighs. "Okay, fine."189Please respect copyright.PENANADXuicDwOTG
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXyVOdAgrot
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANA3PVlLK035o
189Please respect copyright.PENANA95cWxAAuzu
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.189Please respect copyright.PENANAA77mAwv1iO
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjaVnCyZvtB
"Uh, hi everyone! I'm Noah, I used to be a primary school teacher - Kindergarten. This is Lindsey-"189Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Tgs5nf3z

189Please respect copyright.PENANAMbgbiS21NO
"Oh, fuck off." Says Lyla harshly, speaking up. "Nah, we're out. Screw this, Slate. It's people like her is how this hell started." Gideon adds on while Paisley remains quiet.189Please respect copyright.PENANAWt8RU4xxFE
189Please respect copyright.PENANANjVQNuuAmy
"People like me?!" Evenlyn says annoyed. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAH79qqSKyxg
189Please respect copyright.PENANADF3BXQacPL

189Please respect copyright.PENANAwD4YGO8WTY
"I guess you could say that." Slate says. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAnmQNlzgibt

"When did this happen? And when did you escape?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAJrEeEf6lh1

"Last night, we escaped last night. It was unplanned, let's not talk about it."189Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ8Bg562yX
189Please respect copyright.PENANAhmXkERNa8a
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAFuMFzxb5Fn
189Please respect copyright.PENANAKcqY2CVyV0
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAeZfhmQTatJ
189Please respect copyright.PENANAeXCY7StKCa
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 189Please respect copyright.PENANA3jvbPziqpT
189Please respect copyright.PENANAtmP5ISqqwy
"...I see you have a guitar. What can you play?"189Please respect copyright.PENANAyxXZ4LbfkE

189Please respect copyright.PENANA05WxISzoh4
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAUDT2PIvMJ4
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5kqhZhRnIy
"You don't speak to me that way."189Please respect copyright.PENANAmCrHQ9jCkw
189Please respect copyright.PENANAYciW44SecI
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAVcyxZxlCIw
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6lGfetc19
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAAttrcimBzX
189Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Za2dQOsB
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.189Please respect copyright.PENANArPIIO5RI7r
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJekckg17z4
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAUFQwdqVTDR
189Please respect copyright.PENANAzBB6w8RTGP
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAsWqHfy6ETZ
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnTNJPIDIjI
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.189Please respect copyright.PENANA5f7Z8UGlYy
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHDKPrGHMVP
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAKV3dH7Fo6R
189Please respect copyright.PENANAt3MvYbdArz
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAN3cX2WSSq3
189Please respect copyright.PENANAKpv4YIcImU
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.189Please respect copyright.PENANAV01zZNGF8O
189Please respect copyright.PENANAAZpkcyaRd7
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.189Please respect copyright.PENANASV3oV4vQx4
189Please respect copyright.PENANAhrtutCH75O
"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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAOlBGLciI92
189Please respect copyright.PENANAIQf14f4UyV
"I know."189Please respect copyright.PENANA0qniCVnWTn
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGnGGahPRaf
"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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANA9ktq1QAeRc
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxb1OfneOVJ
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.189Please respect copyright.PENANAn6VcPjhKm5

---189Please respect copyright.PENANAEcDu2EfMIa
189Please respect copyright.PENANAlFGVlRuHGM
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAXtn1dLpQzB
189Please respect copyright.PENANA7YZ6j2Zrps
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.189Please respect copyright.PENANAXf7dnGISeD
189Please respect copyright.PENANAIgymcOarKa
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. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAMnA2d4TVxc
189Please respect copyright.PENANAg7bzmzjkHz
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.189Please respect copyright.PENANABgBMFKWm8J
189Please respect copyright.PENANAu6Fv2vxWOp
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAiqlVzrgJN7
189Please respect copyright.PENANArdZ39aMZzM
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 189Please respect copyright.PENANArCuPdWVOwa
189Please respect copyright.PENANA8NYcDDDfke
"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAXEIGyeffwo
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqY9FdVnRwy
"I knew that was coming. I tried to kill myself, end of story." Beth snaps, then spoons the food into her mouth. 189Please respect copyright.PENANAzvjtd4ixCJ
189Please respect copyright.PENANA3BsWwh4rON
"It's so good... so warm, flavourful. We haven't had anything like this in... I don't remember."189Please respect copyright.PENANAKTpPB3Ycd0
