Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAFnowGzDexk
169Please respect copyright.PENANAKMVmhyqwGW
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAUrqoPQzLoY
169Please respect copyright.PENANALENAbd4a8i
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANA1wKf7JRo0n
169Please respect copyright.PENANAq4fo9ytbDM
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAvfP4SC8i72
169Please respect copyright.PENANAkSH6t0xvQh
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."169Please respect copyright.PENANAhSwqWPdrLB
169Please respect copyright.PENANAfJBFzMs42Y

169Please respect copyright.PENANALwdBOK27zQ
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAYGJhDCltzV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAfwVheIJkMZ

169Please respect copyright.PENANAWciIGsXHYY
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."169Please respect copyright.PENANAPBNVfDoZpo

169Please respect copyright.PENANAlCplda1dy9

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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAUS3NHInHkd
169Please respect copyright.PENANAoKw1nTxHfk
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAmGkeugyCCl
169Please respect copyright.PENANAALkB8EwhtQ
"I'm sorry, Slate."169Please respect copyright.PENANAv4XtGW9lis
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWjcaHRHOtG
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA8D5OVGIc0l
169Please respect copyright.PENANAD2rgPBF1Zg

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 169Please respect copyright.PENANAJYQuDHJkfc
169Please respect copyright.PENANAOGy1lqQLyZ
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.169Please respect copyright.PENANA1iQpmWQf8e
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJ34Qb3rlUb
"Where we'rey ou this morning, Gideon?" Lyla asks him.

"I'm hungry."169Please respect copyright.PENANAORH9gpkOpo

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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAjGpuadOhYv
169Please respect copyright.PENANAbQRd4zPUeQ

169Please respect copyright.PENANAvQXmaOWmJk
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA2WdRAGWLeZ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAMRmUunzBEJ
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAOacWer9pgU
169Please respect copyright.PENANAHfUFh3xNDB
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAPNy5UpSPFZ
169Please respect copyright.PENANACOAMy563dW
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAJzQjHSAr31
169Please respect copyright.PENANAZGo4epQo69
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAh5vogemwbC
169Please respect copyright.PENANAzKrho0iCFD
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAqAscYGSfe7
169Please respect copyright.PENANA81EaSijFeH
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAD0XwO5bm01
169Please respect copyright.PENANA3F2oGHIQU4
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANApTJalbjQtM
169Please respect copyright.PENANAhsH8Gcuu7e
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAyTV2dh2tQ8
169Please respect copyright.PENANAo8kr3VOhtG
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.169Please respect copyright.PENANA7lWRInOSx1
169Please respect copyright.PENANA03m119PChg
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANArRnlmyQsRm
169Please respect copyright.PENANA50wvn5IOTu
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.169Please respect copyright.PENANAQLYX4aCwSL

169Please respect copyright.PENANAZjF7eZlbxZ
"Did the zombite bite you?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAvAXmv1HwS0
169Please respect copyright.PENANA3kvCxINRWI
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANA3S3nNa8Mkh
169Please respect copyright.PENANA5n8cK1fNJf
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?"169Please respect copyright.PENANASaHGootzjV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAAkgbC2fkmW
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?!"169Please respect copyright.PENANAfJMjBtnldI
169Please respect copyright.PENANA4VECSfw9iE
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANA8J6UmTrDnE
169Please respect copyright.PENANAPK86UFlG1C
"It's just twisted, not broken."169Please respect copyright.PENANALmLwcuXNqE

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAhBUPsqLWU6
169Please respect copyright.PENANAU6tquuLa2B
"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."169Please respect copyright.PENANAGUWu9IIMkH
169Please respect copyright.PENANA5PCD9bMqxR
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.169Please respect copyright.PENANA8oFbcstvEW
169Please respect copyright.PENANAsrLtpn5DQb
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAs5V8VBswNm
169Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z3cMpvCZ5
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"169Please respect copyright.PENANAu1bBl02sEw
169Please respect copyright.PENANAKA41Tej2wO
"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-"169Please respect copyright.PENANAzA0br3E8iS
169Please respect copyright.PENANA3xP7fatx22
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2PUCernC0
169Please respect copyright.PENANA6FNOpVeiz5
"I don't want to talk about it."169Please respect copyright.PENANAMIMV2Pryh7
169Please respect copyright.PENANAW3CLbhA5i1
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAZkqloWGGyd
169Please respect copyright.PENANAGcggQ7AjwL
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.169Please respect copyright.PENANAi5jDDYneql
169Please respect copyright.PENANAgg79cCnrpu
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAWjj5gDArdl

169Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ9Rc65czo
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.169Please respect copyright.PENANA8XB95Yq7By
169Please respect copyright.PENANAMxCvm752XJ
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.169Please respect copyright.PENANABG3117bbs4
169Please respect copyright.PENANAAKDsdhn9o4
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAVQVNmHH9Ig
169Please respect copyright.PENANAgYviZWmNgQ

"Beth!" Slate says. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAxBo64eLwtn
169Please respect copyright.PENANAqcahWdyYNz
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAmTdIHRNgiE
169Please respect copyright.PENANAaEFgxWyuul
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."169Please respect copyright.PENANAeeE8PBFJPI
169Please respect copyright.PENANADxQtQjdHrE
He sighs. "Okay, fine."169Please respect copyright.PENANAEaN7KUomRe
169Please respect copyright.PENANACA5Zn0iReF
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAXdovlQ9SU9
169Please respect copyright.PENANAAl2opfBuoW
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.169Please respect copyright.PENANA0cCRhRURC1
169Please respect copyright.PENANATiK4vQLPT9
"Uh, hi everyone! I'm Noah, I used to be a primary school teacher - Kindergarten. This is Lindsey-"169Please respect copyright.PENANAO6lSJbacpt

169Please respect copyright.PENANAAyk4dPAyps
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANADTJTbKIut2
169Please respect copyright.PENANAlVtPi7p5N2
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAx1EBIorMT9
169Please respect copyright.PENANA3rIiur09IU
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA9CJvaGY0y6

169Please respect copyright.PENANA0bse6DEsCX
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ4eiBF4Ty

"You don't speak to me that way."169Please respect copyright.PENANAclhv4IKkAn

"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAWIXBYn9Zrw
169Please respect copyright.PENANAcpWidVpH0x
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAdGlxO4o6JH
169Please respect copyright.PENANAHgoCnFXDIq
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.169Please respect copyright.PENANAjTmy4XxCmH
169Please respect copyright.PENANAqzemEfPH8N
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAzt3eD3ECEF
169Please respect copyright.PENANAVK54bZvWeM
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAvzhGLADOoe
169Please respect copyright.PENANAiGnzmRrBWO
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.169Please respect copyright.PENANARDHcLeKpeG
169Please respect copyright.PENANAAIeewfUQ9V
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANARe4Ytme4kN
169Please respect copyright.PENANAymep8x9E3e
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAEmE2zqqoyp
169Please respect copyright.PENANAGk6bmLvQri
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.169Please respect copyright.PENANAoBziJHy5Q9
169Please respect copyright.PENANAZyerR4uUEv
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.169Please respect copyright.PENANAzNdUnm3Pt9
169Please respect copyright.PENANAiTycZvjl7i
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANA1x4JpsdOGj
169Please respect copyright.PENANAihNgZ0r9tW
"I know."169Please respect copyright.PENANAR30OmIfTw6
169Please respect copyright.PENANAf2CByfJmLS
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAcqzFYy0kzx
169Please respect copyright.PENANA1WkOxq8GlM
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.169Please respect copyright.PENANAhZDKt4LYUL

169Please respect copyright.PENANAgcO1w2nN9F
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANA28EGuXbwE4
169Please respect copyright.PENANALFFtNmwDLn
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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAX1jWPMRZ2s
169Please respect copyright.PENANAfWkCpjawzb
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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANATBlZCza7bZ
169Please respect copyright.PENANADS032Q6ymp
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.169Please respect copyright.PENANA3a87Y5OdAa
169Please respect copyright.PENANA3BdPZpbij8
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAWVnIRkP84D
169Please respect copyright.PENANASD2ELA5XrK
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAy7lb7PLrZG

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAz1YR5pQjun
169Please respect copyright.PENANAFjZ3QGxKHz

169Please respect copyright.PENANArZqA5LI33k
"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.169Please respect copyright.PENANA2DQmH3xbuJ
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9f7uXkXe9

"Who's this person?" Paisley asks, opening a pantry door which reveals some photos tacked to the door. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAJci4N2RwnB
169Please respect copyright.PENANAWs9LyxEV0a
"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. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAxwwi4iO4mA

169Please respect copyright.PENANAYa5SiJjpOb
"Left where?" Slate asks confused, looking at Evelyn and her belly. Bethany waves her hand, giving him the look to shut up. 169Please respect copyright.PENANAsCNof5qGV1
169Please respect copyright.PENANAeOcAd4rnmQ
He gets it. "Uh... So, what are we going to do about-"169Please respect copyright.PENANATf51iALNYV
169Please respect copyright.PENANAJVXNitB3Zf
"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.169Please respect copyright.PENANAmLqS1WzIyP
169Please respect copyright.PENANAT8QjMrgXql
"Thank you. There was no Plan B- Well, C..." Slate trails off. "C?"
