Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAekaEGddOOz
177Please respect copyright.PENANAf26BzbxBBb
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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAIXkHqB8EvW
177Please respect copyright.PENANA4iiRQUp5kr
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAciKKZktk2W
177Please respect copyright.PENANAcHwL1SPlAB
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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAqmcgtnqi6j
177Please respect copyright.PENANAinkvfaSWMT
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."177Please respect copyright.PENANAA5yZ14vpkz
177Please respect copyright.PENANASR4j174jbU

177Please respect copyright.PENANAFEaxm6WboN
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."177Please respect copyright.PENANAR3k1Pxv6D6

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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAR7cbHrBr70
177Please respect copyright.PENANALTkDWLNIT0
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAbKIZExNGHA
177Please respect copyright.PENANAVfwj47KNTc
"I'm sorry, Slate."177Please respect copyright.PENANAM0kA4Tdu4e
177Please respect copyright.PENANA0xWrC56tp6

177Please respect copyright.PENANAbG7gTaFeAb

"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAXhyXrBJnTe
177Please respect copyright.PENANAhCY7EH1TGa
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAiqFkcn8f5d
177Please respect copyright.PENANAgoEg8fhPSM
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.177Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yac3eeNWl
177Please respect copyright.PENANAeyHYAsABGW
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAvNununGL2c
177Please respect copyright.PENANAXkHWVlNGn8
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAWZdV3JVMzM
177Please respect copyright.PENANAIAJez4XSCx
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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAEBo87mDlG3
177Please respect copyright.PENANAcHbDQcy1FM
"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAU8pDYNncTO
177Please respect copyright.PENANAOhHjakDpGS
"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAi5PjOXbBRI
177Please respect copyright.PENANA7VstQblyGO
"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAKMddWrGW6C
177Please respect copyright.PENANABYjQTiryFC
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.177Please respect copyright.PENANAApkviIzpn5
177Please respect copyright.PENANAB4J4oG74IO
"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAWI6ShTGGde
177Please respect copyright.PENANAsWGottp5my
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.177Please respect copyright.PENANAib5n5glHgV

177Please respect copyright.PENANA8WEsSbvoBY
"Did the zombite bite you?"177Please respect copyright.PENANAZwBwQ1IUX9
177Please respect copyright.PENANA97NYAWnCDx
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6P3qabNOK
177Please respect copyright.PENANAscYNNDIIdI
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?"177Please respect copyright.PENANATdPgHqCa0k
177Please respect copyright.PENANAY9kx5OCNAF
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?!"177Please respect copyright.PENANAw72taouHlp
177Please respect copyright.PENANAEvfXWWTNSj
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.177Please respect copyright.PENANATkdDHHQMgi
177Please respect copyright.PENANA099NikCsJK
"It's just twisted, not broken."177Please respect copyright.PENANAu9ZABQVVpa

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAbE00er64IK
177Please respect copyright.PENANARHvYJ2Oneb
"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."177Please respect copyright.PENANA8CYRRPmWDM
177Please respect copyright.PENANAoxc2bSc6Es
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.177Please respect copyright.PENANAL3J4uyujC8
177Please respect copyright.PENANAwO7H6vezRZ
"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANA19d1Ak4rkc
177Please respect copyright.PENANAjZrPZu5yd1
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"177Please respect copyright.PENANAUCmYH8xrgn
177Please respect copyright.PENANASGKK9mdzMk
"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-"177Please respect copyright.PENANAmibNunp4rB
177Please respect copyright.PENANAYBg1prsPun
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANANGuQSk5I1c
177Please respect copyright.PENANAVIVqb7aTRR
"I don't want to talk about it."177Please respect copyright.PENANA1GjWcskGTz
177Please respect copyright.PENANAKd4z3pR3lo
"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAP4pO60wX0I
177Please respect copyright.PENANAMZNNIlR6t9
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.177Please respect copyright.PENANAtW2sF73mxv

177Please respect copyright.PENANAA9NPKVNrhp

"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.177Please respect copyright.PENANAYIGwgq6FAV

177Please respect copyright.PENANAUhCT3PQ4Cp
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."177Please respect copyright.PENANAkMcb9NGRwE
177Please respect copyright.PENANAk8l6zfy54M
He sighs. "Okay, fine."177Please respect copyright.PENANAZDCUierFBY
177Please respect copyright.PENANAx6r56jP7Tq
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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANA2FxfIWg0Uf
177Please respect copyright.PENANAqjOCfrQ8NQ
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.177Please respect copyright.PENANAcKplojSSgY

177Please respect copyright.PENANA64nMUR2SFy
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAE7fMI2AidM
177Please respect copyright.PENANAzdyRxHs8ar
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 177Please respect copyright.PENANA9UWT2fyKOM

177Please respect copyright.PENANAXDSZCcn4TQ
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAfB8TXdHMwh
177Please respect copyright.PENANAdXkXkIzHRp
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.177Please respect copyright.PENANAipkPuq9Hoh
177Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0a3wCoZ2v
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAhcf3NPRMvN
177Please respect copyright.PENANA69vJd1YdXD
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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANA48b0YEWHU6
177Please respect copyright.PENANA2wZvKV7LI3
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.177Please respect copyright.PENANA7bdG357oPF
177Please respect copyright.PENANAraXP8dCCSy
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAXCbOWub2gp
177Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ4rGwUDZX
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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAMdYsRpIK9B
177Please respect copyright.PENANAxyF5u5k5wt
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.177Please respect copyright.PENANAYvRCzvXpcs
177Please respect copyright.PENANAs8GMU8TTBH
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.177Please respect copyright.PENANA5sdIyx2mDk
177Please respect copyright.PENANAJXmrNeUMVg
"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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAi1BWDKur4B
177Please respect copyright.PENANATNB9CfjkHz
"I know."177Please respect copyright.PENANAfDrPSRmRWn
177Please respect copyright.PENANAfQSpqq2ol4
"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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9RlnHPSbq
177Please respect copyright.PENANAzr0NISxNd5
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.177Please respect copyright.PENANAyqLaOjznXu

177Please respect copyright.PENANAmNYJM0ade6
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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAekXRXUxXDG
177Please respect copyright.PENANAwuZCYStaAm
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.177Please respect copyright.PENANAIm6VebkifI
177Please respect copyright.PENANApn0wYjg9CB
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. 177Please respect copyright.PENANADNlVENe8kx
177Please respect copyright.PENANAir4go0c2Ij
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.177Please respect copyright.PENANATpixPp8kqL
177Please respect copyright.PENANAkNCr8EUEBU
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAMFDByX7PmV
177Please respect copyright.PENANAYMTHb6F4va
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAaRVMEKD2dz

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 177Please respect copyright.PENANACgZ78cfOi7
177Please respect copyright.PENANAkCXqPL15jc
"I knew that was coming. I tried to kill myself, end of story." Beth snaps, then spoons the food into her mouth. 177Please respect copyright.PENANAI6nZUzowq8
