Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAa2StBzilV0
60Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ZP2Tsy03
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAFO6e9xadnE
60Please respect copyright.PENANAK5H6sGprWq
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAGEk1WEyty2
60Please respect copyright.PENANADHpIlLH3sk
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAv9HLvz1ONJ
60Please respect copyright.PENANAgvjyAyaeem
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."60Please respect copyright.PENANAKxbwkQnZmz
60Please respect copyright.PENANAX9xJFAWrnm
"Mmm, Slate?" Beth whispers, stretching her arms, waking up. He takes a seat on the bed. "How'd you sleep?" He asks, smiling.60Please respect copyright.PENANArhoW4AiYuF
60Please respect copyright.PENANA1s3fDnicuU

60Please respect copyright.PENANAXRp1BS5MWJ
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."60Please respect copyright.PENANAuSNWpYeXre
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..."60Please respect copyright.PENANAx3IrA9CwX3
60Please respect copyright.PENANAXai8ClaesG

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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAvJM3bR341W
60Please respect copyright.PENANAr5aA21NpmZ
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAHzZqQR96lB
60Please respect copyright.PENANA1mZt9mtrbB
"I'm sorry, Slate."60Please respect copyright.PENANADzhehlK22I
60Please respect copyright.PENANAWpjBd1XQ2Z
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANABwY4eU1uox
60Please respect copyright.PENANA3KdT3aXEsg

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 60Please respect copyright.PENANA7kKaLe3Z3K
60Please respect copyright.PENANA9VLYxHAtTf
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.60Please respect copyright.PENANAyOGR82MIn9
60Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Tn7IYsaa
"Where we'rey ou this morning, Gideon?" Lyla asks him.

"I'm hungry."60Please respect copyright.PENANA88t4mGdIEY

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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAhHB5OtrADR
60Please respect copyright.PENANA2ekGiUkFkn

60Please respect copyright.PENANAFo5sTeJEga
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAElrNP5Logp
60Please respect copyright.PENANA77DXYOFb6n
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAiCA4FDgk0d
60Please respect copyright.PENANA8yptuS0xAN
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANASbMpYEYzIz
60Please respect copyright.PENANAp5UMnC37tJ
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANA72QBPQVE6O
60Please respect copyright.PENANA7GPxOrtdti
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAE3WBJoGZH4
60Please respect copyright.PENANA513CctSzsZ
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAYqY5awF5jl
60Please respect copyright.PENANAoc01sQiiEZ
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAleK5aAJkYx
60Please respect copyright.PENANAtWCXbDJmZg
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAxyBOcIPaLg
60Please respect copyright.PENANAmt3andty3A
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAfB5zKKjQNX
60Please respect copyright.PENANAPF6s0RIz1g
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.60Please respect copyright.PENANAchiGXOcOPU
60Please respect copyright.PENANAlsmXzmTDKI
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAfzhKSlHNwY
60Please respect copyright.PENANAlbWeJsC5Mu
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.60Please respect copyright.PENANApbFWLS6Hic
60Please respect copyright.PENANAx3XZ8VtTZ0

60Please respect copyright.PENANAI5I91zJX6U
"Did the zombite bite you?"60Please respect copyright.PENANA1ot7ykjXgI
60Please respect copyright.PENANAsabBhjDX04
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAQARnxV4oNx
60Please respect copyright.PENANAfLGMenMMKl
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?"60Please respect copyright.PENANA8f77hneTO2
60Please respect copyright.PENANASP9pLU2ibi
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?!"60Please respect copyright.PENANAj8vlDK3NwE
60Please respect copyright.PENANAacxWLtE6Ik
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAwd4yrJwkUV
60Please respect copyright.PENANAf8rivyHm0T
"It's just twisted, not broken."60Please respect copyright.PENANAL6ptk3y5aR
60Please respect copyright.PENANAtuyuLlz9Fm
"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAUcSkIh16qZ
60Please respect copyright.PENANAjFSE6hTUyC
"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."60Please respect copyright.PENANAaA95iIoxXy
60Please respect copyright.PENANA6Om2vev3S6
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.60Please respect copyright.PENANA2lMfGpNW2X
60Please respect copyright.PENANA1oWRXI3doh
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAsNfy2oKe5Y
60Please respect copyright.PENANApwga0J8Gas
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"60Please respect copyright.PENANAOaaTpt5sdK
60Please respect copyright.PENANAqrMcOt6zzv
"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-"60Please respect copyright.PENANAsHS3EccGV6
60Please respect copyright.PENANAxDTul2Bh2f
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAbKMTJAA60R
60Please respect copyright.PENANAbhBo47Rtp8
"I don't want to talk about it."60Please respect copyright.PENANAmL2gVzznLg
60Please respect copyright.PENANAswDq7o6AtW
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA2JtsHDCf1c
60Please respect copyright.PENANAZcEL7LDnFM
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.60Please respect copyright.PENANAUHj2eWrjDF
60Please respect copyright.PENANALfBPBNbOC3
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAIY6DHdBUJl

"Shut up, you're lying."60Please respect copyright.PENANA3cinuTV7vi
60Please respect copyright.PENANAQfrPaL0e0S

60Please respect copyright.PENANAG37GlBsK3X
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.60Please respect copyright.PENANAch10hvzhQV
60Please respect copyright.PENANANVUHKFpWqw
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.60Please respect copyright.PENANAGbxGUMmUt6
60Please respect copyright.PENANAOksY1G2kSz
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAU7Wt6p0KCU
60Please respect copyright.PENANA7Gz261KuVt

"Beth!" Slate says. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAUcfQio7Zob
60Please respect copyright.PENANAW2iHXJ7lxW
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAZqwEKzcfZj
60Please respect copyright.PENANAaFSiPFerhv
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."60Please respect copyright.PENANAaImwFzMnaa
60Please respect copyright.PENANARfeSw3ZEdM
He sighs. "Okay, fine."60Please respect copyright.PENANABU1y84tn0Y
60Please respect copyright.PENANA1KaXKsAd4D
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAwsHWhbhpzX
60Please respect copyright.PENANAIlt8rrZBkG
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.60Please respect copyright.PENANAlwgOwazf5M

60Please respect copyright.PENANA1etzh44gOP
"People like me?!" Evenlyn says annoyed. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAjM1EA7jx62

60Please respect copyright.PENANA0L1dD0MMgA
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAlLkOZH0XZ2
60Please respect copyright.PENANAo2OOs2K3bo
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAKuMa2mmmmt
60Please respect copyright.PENANACjqTq9PR7w
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAtHP2pzCEcC

60Please respect copyright.PENANAZvDZU2tves
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 60Please respect copyright.PENANACARL5O2vhd
60Please respect copyright.PENANAX1r0t7L6yD
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.60Please respect copyright.PENANA2653MM7zvr
60Please respect copyright.PENANAn01o25FnvM
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAS8nulWk2nM
60Please respect copyright.PENANAvXoLPVYoXY
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAs0nEhIZlbb
60Please respect copyright.PENANALrB1HaqJAg
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.60Please respect copyright.PENANACGRp3VDI24
60Please respect copyright.PENANAQJniJH5sTQ
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANA4m7ETPSUDA
60Please respect copyright.PENANA884zjUJWAw
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANALnooyWjBiS
60Please respect copyright.PENANA0WXiHKXYkU
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.60Please respect copyright.PENANABPbQYUNvW0
60Please respect copyright.PENANAK7XM3NV0hG
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.60Please respect copyright.PENANA0SjJNFI0jd
60Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z3fTjCfsg
"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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAS6je5T1m1w
60Please respect copyright.PENANApFu4j1iMwS
"I know."60Please respect copyright.PENANAOCl5dzJWQq
60Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0G1h5Lb95
"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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANANebBhnHYzh
60Please respect copyright.PENANAe4JgN3HqBn
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.60Please respect copyright.PENANAE9ui523evS

60Please respect copyright.PENANAYQJih9OF2a
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAjvpAzcYrr8
60Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ92yamAOn
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAIk3Ii42Kh1
60Please respect copyright.PENANAaXAJrUArwK
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANABhO6UENxJD
60Please respect copyright.PENANAsnZqSvxFCD
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.60Please respect copyright.PENANAI6ogMYvEna
