Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAvUAwQcYuTs
197Please respect copyright.PENANAPI0e01SLxr
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAqVdhDpv9M0
197Please respect copyright.PENANAqAjslyCaBb
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAR8mjzdy6d6
197Please respect copyright.PENANATQgGL9BJ2B
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAMhalMIEDfj

"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."197Please respect copyright.PENANA8qnnNXcwA0

197Please respect copyright.PENANAxARbghFBsP
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."197Please respect copyright.PENANA5QjlHfY91w

197Please respect copyright.PENANAjLdv2r0K7z

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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAwewL5RldeK
197Please respect copyright.PENANAorqs1U3bkK
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAIputqPSnLX
197Please respect copyright.PENANAEQV7IdjX2F
"I'm sorry, Slate."197Please respect copyright.PENANAFeFLckNNuM
197Please respect copyright.PENANAge3e4qL5Ic
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANA2SyNSCWnn1

"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANACJeKc1kOZr
197Please respect copyright.PENANAFYyDStzHcf
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAt1c57IhUwv
197Please respect copyright.PENANAjKPwua8NJh
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAMTu5muAlGj
197Please respect copyright.PENANAVXocaYfuNV
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAK4oYs4jmDH
197Please respect copyright.PENANAxXYkSct3Cu
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAadO1zzTIp3
197Please respect copyright.PENANABmzYDW4s8g
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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANApLI5Tb3HAl
197Please respect copyright.PENANAGqIJjoRL9V
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAq4y0IfYzOI
197Please respect copyright.PENANAQFa5Dg5DIX
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAIW1LNVB1G5
197Please respect copyright.PENANAfHlR43nj8w
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANA8CyOoSvzix
197Please respect copyright.PENANAjkvwvvVBy5
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.197Please respect copyright.PENANA0eg77QM98w
197Please respect copyright.PENANA9R17M6qTAg
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAzlHIOCAdiB
197Please respect copyright.PENANArEIJiVA1Pt
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.197Please respect copyright.PENANAgD8q9H7dSt

197Please respect copyright.PENANAG8as4PJ8Xz
"Did the zombite bite you?"197Please respect copyright.PENANAkLfnL7frdr
197Please respect copyright.PENANAuvhBaWm9xq
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAl6F8y6qKas
197Please respect copyright.PENANAKDrhimNmoo
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?"197Please respect copyright.PENANAKmbz3wWM03
197Please respect copyright.PENANAcPsSFZ9e4k
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?!"197Please respect copyright.PENANAAKfETAHsJe
197Please respect copyright.PENANAv2aLNc26zs
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAZgyVgQptfL
197Please respect copyright.PENANAYYajGae5S5
"It's just twisted, not broken."197Please respect copyright.PENANAq2BnWrs3N8

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAU8DZHf4zvb
197Please respect copyright.PENANAgkU1WPllLI
"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."197Please respect copyright.PENANAwwTxhrf7at
197Please respect copyright.PENANAtt4Gkju44u
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.197Please respect copyright.PENANA5NMLXaM8CU
197Please respect copyright.PENANAyWU9u7YbGg
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAldNASISSUf
197Please respect copyright.PENANAONeOLbElz6
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"197Please respect copyright.PENANAl4DPb5TJ9Z
197Please respect copyright.PENANAATvYJH9dxC
"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-"197Please respect copyright.PENANAMaidoz3m8o
197Please respect copyright.PENANA6vH1uxCCpC
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANA7Foot9fovP
197Please respect copyright.PENANA0mDC9Ja136
"I don't want to talk about it."197Please respect copyright.PENANA8MAPRQIvjb
197Please respect copyright.PENANAVlpkwiqfVx
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAwmZIp4o8BZ
197Please respect copyright.PENANAqSIz712u1X
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.197Please respect copyright.PENANAfqp4G348rP
197Please respect copyright.PENANAfblp7yfi4g
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAoRJEhSVfaI

197Please respect copyright.PENANAUWIxB0EcnE

"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.197Please respect copyright.PENANAQhxuOtY9mr

"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAcFctw2Gaud
197Please respect copyright.PENANAl7XuMWEMIL

197Please respect copyright.PENANAnlHSqCjqJE
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAVMjgvo06c8
197Please respect copyright.PENANAxHT6EW0dNU
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."197Please respect copyright.PENANAYUOXfm03n7
197Please respect copyright.PENANASitu6fs1TO
He sighs. "Okay, fine."197Please respect copyright.PENANAxbdLE9BAtt
197Please respect copyright.PENANAmUk9LcJyg2
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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAmNwnx3Th5E
197Please respect copyright.PENANALsx5FZ6jfW
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.197Please respect copyright.PENANA4m3oay81ea
197Please respect copyright.PENANAO4f0T8g0RC
"Uh, hi everyone! I'm Noah, I used to be a primary school teacher - Kindergarten. This is Lindsey-"197Please respect copyright.PENANAOFKbyNcoTG

197Please respect copyright.PENANAd1EWctASc9
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAekozewb6Sz
197Please respect copyright.PENANAXW89rMDSmP
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANA0Be6JlOb4n
197Please respect copyright.PENANA3IsUuIgLyl
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 197Please respect copyright.PENANATYAQz9ITsR

197Please respect copyright.PENANAXTkXBzxXPO
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAzsP6buEoKo
197Please respect copyright.PENANAqXR5NaVEqC
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.197Please respect copyright.PENANAlM4Sp5Y9dr
197Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ZrJcI76U
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANArYoe8kLWxg
197Please respect copyright.PENANACal8O7IPEy
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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAnxju364b7V
197Please respect copyright.PENANAnlHzIUzMOe
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.197Please respect copyright.PENANAHDUVHFPGWs

197Please respect copyright.PENANADkiJeohJeQ
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANANOXt4b4Gyt
197Please respect copyright.PENANAw5VgfxKhc5
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.197Please respect copyright.PENANA4aXA2Jf7gM
197Please respect copyright.PENANAnRpBHw2fqU
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.197Please respect copyright.PENANABRgwK6TH6F
197Please respect copyright.PENANArgs0wIpqH4
"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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAR0M2TOpaZp
197Please respect copyright.PENANAIms6ePGthG
"I know."197Please respect copyright.PENANAZGfGjZQjPH
197Please respect copyright.PENANATzUSM6jxIF
"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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANATNwzTHS7lj
197Please respect copyright.PENANAT6tiPVwqcV
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.197Please respect copyright.PENANAAghnP43ZQV

197Please respect copyright.PENANAxuBz0wMWoB
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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANA7MKFL00vZK
197Please respect copyright.PENANAdFrz9gqXIF
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.197Please respect copyright.PENANAZfyjQvoI3O
197Please respect copyright.PENANAnPx6QYjlxe
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. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAgTbzqyz9nG
197Please respect copyright.PENANAAhPIVknjCp
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.197Please respect copyright.PENANAs5wuipOaMB
197Please respect copyright.PENANAW6dejn8jCj
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAxbLBRAHwiO
197Please respect copyright.PENANAb8bE7saBW0
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAzB6rZ8zDQm

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAtTeY88tScM
197Please respect copyright.PENANAp3KSgi1dtN
"I knew that was coming. I tried to kill myself, end of story." Beth snaps, then spoons the food into her mouth. 197Please respect copyright.PENANAW2JjU539xN
