Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 176Please respect copyright.PENANASwfHTbLJoc
176Please respect copyright.PENANAOHs8z9O3uE
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANA4eb0Yfj7CD
176Please respect copyright.PENANAdUYQCl98yb
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANA385wGarg0J
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYYA7NU3sEd
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAZtYEA99IGD
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGRLOMzO3Ff
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."176Please respect copyright.PENANAEYh1jFYZzh
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0ilzsqJZcc
"Mmm, Slate?" Beth whispers, stretching her arms, waking up. He takes a seat on the bed. "How'd you sleep?" He asks, smiling.176Please respect copyright.PENANAknvSP8lCng
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyzN1BCMrRT

176Please respect copyright.PENANAJLHWLTqNHi
"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."176Please respect copyright.PENANATCA1P9kIMq
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmS3FIHMCm3

176Please respect copyright.PENANArNLIpLAFvH
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."176Please respect copyright.PENANAOe60qEXnAF

176Please respect copyright.PENANA9bs1wv1uQt

"We'll have to ask the others what they remember."176Please respect copyright.PENANAgM3nA7IGom
176Please respect copyright.PENANApOUjYFyP5w
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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA1m0OCoSvvU
176Please respect copyright.PENANADPOSQ60dV3
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAlx19qjSNgS
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGIGao0OHMk
"I'm sorry, Slate."176Please respect copyright.PENANAmJR3oQXo7k
176Please respect copyright.PENANATcHnM9Bff5
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAhMessS2d6Q
176Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Hx4p5WHF

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 176Please respect copyright.PENANABJJt1Xc9sl
176Please respect copyright.PENANAfLOi6opyfq
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.176Please respect copyright.PENANALvyYyhkKYP
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPyXzD5l1Vz
"Where we'rey ou this morning, Gideon?" Lyla asks him.

176Please respect copyright.PENANAd5QhxidjUP
"I'm hungry."176Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xdk5sSrFd
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5IcWEG5NT1
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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA9S5Rcmou2B
176Please respect copyright.PENANATYglEL1ncB

176Please respect copyright.PENANA39pO9m2l6P
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAMghdiXRJ8R
176Please respect copyright.PENANAxgMew8uwBc
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAksFt8dovRo
176Please respect copyright.PENANAI7Pu63H4J6
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAroFtoZYCIX
176Please respect copyright.PENANAC5WFP16Vdk
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAWYioPxg86w
176Please respect copyright.PENANA42NlvZOP21
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAnSeH4MhbOZ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ2IYKWZRv
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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAepu2Q34tZ7
176Please respect copyright.PENANArnLI3fENTz
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAs6iWn7ORF5
176Please respect copyright.PENANA01ZYGcITLJ
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA8tV05Woj1f
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3og8DFnK8M
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAGJDTmp78Kv
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQIHYbafBdc
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.176Please respect copyright.PENANASE9jhoWR6t
176Please respect copyright.PENANAaeCjhYN8l3
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAPcgOsQIDgj
176Please respect copyright.PENANAT8U85uXGeh
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.176Please respect copyright.PENANAuJCAU4RA8W
176Please respect copyright.PENANADzcwQXwBYi
"Bitten?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAFhYtq2U9mQ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwdu34MAAQU
"Did the zombite bite you?"176Please respect copyright.PENANACpqKOdfSv5
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5r4lszNvaE
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANA9B7o1IoMIF
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9DFI61jha2
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?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAJMMjAbFBbd
176Please respect copyright.PENANALoe9A2Yqg4
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?!"176Please respect copyright.PENANA7s5KwhPJdg
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hj8MfCLDN
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAfbHKE6HCKe
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhAqE7a2nwr
"It's just twisted, not broken."176Please respect copyright.PENANAHZy8G4WpVR
176Please respect copyright.PENANASkrjDswglc
"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 176Please respect copyright.PENANArc1NVnoXFF
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPoFIfJOaDX
"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."176Please respect copyright.PENANATakhCbvIkM
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKImmRUDQyg
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.176Please respect copyright.PENANAnDXVdZxZxX
176Please respect copyright.PENANATRu3kBnWqj
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAo8XcodJwVc
176Please respect copyright.PENANAxdk3pabx3C
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAmoRPozmOEi
176Please respect copyright.PENANALAwTQ6H0SE
"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-"176Please respect copyright.PENANAIMr0wmGXch
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyLJz4M5BVr
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANArHvxVEjO46
176Please respect copyright.PENANAii3l7b7nDf
"I don't want to talk about it."176Please respect copyright.PENANANXpRUbn8Ia
176Please respect copyright.PENANAAVrjKvjawy
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANATyjiFVDl11
176Please respect copyright.PENANApWmMlkR0rh
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.176Please respect copyright.PENANA4CfVUdr8jv
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbjBS0DpKCa
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAK3J1HrfItl
176Please respect copyright.PENANAeUz8CK6Wof

176Please respect copyright.PENANAmwowoAyG3z

176Please respect copyright.PENANAiwsvIHV7oe
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.176Please respect copyright.PENANA41ljm5eRxw
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzvdWUIdQh6
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.176Please respect copyright.PENANARl5ZPNg24e
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYS47AKJChy
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAO0957FRTPU
176Please respect copyright.PENANA09xenLTa8v

"Beth!" Slate says. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAToMuEGAcrx
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7xUVbjogOu
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAphh4R8oy5b
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjK27R0KW0h
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."176Please respect copyright.PENANAU0yVwPfaX5
176Please respect copyright.PENANAn5SdnPBwdB
He sighs. "Okay, fine."176Please respect copyright.PENANA9ean6OQXnT
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZjrLZei3ys
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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANABgyKSMeazR
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1MmCsONcjH
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.176Please respect copyright.PENANAJFLrfAa1x1
176Please respect copyright.PENANAK1eVNmjEIV
"Uh, hi everyone! I'm Noah, I used to be a primary school teacher - Kindergarten. This is Lindsey-"176Please respect copyright.PENANAPrxdtfIXIe

"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3vkYaYBu3
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0umi7LcMo
"People like me?!" Evenlyn says annoyed. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAejUTldOClJ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAg6rUigFVOR

176Please respect copyright.PENANAlmOhbsSmUV
"I guess you could say that." Slate says. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA9sC9QCf9Qx

176Please respect copyright.PENANAzBjqy4HAZC
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANATA8uSigAui
176Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ26qp8i5r
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANA4z93G4SUfB
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwMkcQBzldP
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAo8RNNPptaI
176Please respect copyright.PENANAU3QtD9Q1FV

176Please respect copyright.PENANA58tfwEzMcL
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA4seGYpV3A8
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJHjDCRzc83
"You don't speak to me that way."176Please respect copyright.PENANA29OKO6bYb6
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJpl2FkCPtJ
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAeJhM0lGT24
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtBV8OnZ2W8
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAldcMU3QG58
176Please respect copyright.PENANAL0wXDs0haK
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.176Please respect copyright.PENANAJBHQ6x0gFs
176Please respect copyright.PENANAFeUfnSNkKe
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAvM2PtZgBBT
176Please respect copyright.PENANAqxbJNyE8Ql
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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAwYBOaAAdhR
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQPT74jAfM9
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.176Please respect copyright.PENANAlSCRViCNtk
176Please respect copyright.PENANAR5FwHClOOm
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAosYrOBna92
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1YnNfXni4l
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANApuIbXw2HKA
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9C5GPUVMxv
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.176Please respect copyright.PENANA0KgEMhGR4V
176Please respect copyright.PENANA54kiuoRPLF
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.176Please respect copyright.PENANAfqYzJ5fmiQ
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0PTcIbVJp3
"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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAu8o5HHUgzh
176Please respect copyright.PENANAnfToEzbqsg
"I know."176Please respect copyright.PENANA5iZ5A7MTHT
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2uhlcVRlkr
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANATsmn0uCXtZ
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6lnB5g7VPg
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.176Please respect copyright.PENANAkQlAaZHBvT

176Please respect copyright.PENANA75pRB9tOFM
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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAeuz39sYWU4
176Please respect copyright.PENANABpsZyHGknU
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAcd6L9GijVa
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYtS0PpkbAD
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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANApukfCfzsfJ
176Please respect copyright.PENANAVxYOm6mH8Q
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.176Please respect copyright.PENANAurNElocMjR
176Please respect copyright.PENANADCcb31jpjd
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA3A2TAZmPIa
176Please respect copyright.PENANAb7wx9yGCsV
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA0kPBdDRYix

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 176Please respect copyright.PENANARb0UfpXF42
176Please respect copyright.PENANAzf54O2Nl7t
"I knew that was coming. I tried to kill myself, end of story." Beth snaps, then spoons the food into her mouth. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAhLhR303ysN

176Please respect copyright.PENANAIG9O8RvXDg
"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.176Please respect copyright.PENANA5DSqvxDjL1
176Please respect copyright.PENANAAbGP52Cegh
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA8sutIV3HUW
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYiTHsRfVdP
"Who's this person?" Paisley asks, opening a pantry door which reveals some photos tacked to the door. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA0ET0Up9Y2M
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYsaRosW0Hs
"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. 176Please respect copyright.PENANA78kEnCTRtt

176Please respect copyright.PENANAZZIkmRgm5P
"Left where?" Slate asks confused, looking at Evelyn and her belly. Bethany waves her hand, giving him the look to shut up. 176Please respect copyright.PENANANxvHZgxqa0

He gets it. "Uh... So, what are we going to do about-"176Please respect copyright.PENANAGPrRgCuwrX

176Please respect copyright.PENANAQExjLEtcjM
