Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 52Please respect copyright.PENANATf3g7Oz0Lr
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5FoqmzGvlw
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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAXRhYZDzEkW
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFLZIr9KdT2
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANACJdwqNk1lR
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhMwWIyDZ22
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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAAEp6Y7wqCW
52Please respect copyright.PENANAteK7oIp9Yk
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."52Please respect copyright.PENANA7M2p2m52mV
52Please respect copyright.PENANAKGl8Dvbtk7

52Please respect copyright.PENANAZrr56vOUPV
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."52Please respect copyright.PENANAeDOkImlyzF

52Please respect copyright.PENANAhITjMfkHkc

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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAMfbXqEnuk7
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6d7ORuM9sq
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAoSgee4skSY
52Please respect copyright.PENANAiuiyp6K0Yk
"I'm sorry, Slate."52Please respect copyright.PENANAsY17gD0w0t

Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.52Please respect copyright.PENANANhleps0QkC

"Where we'rey ou this morning, Gideon?" Lyla asks him.

"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAZfnzyppEJV
52Please respect copyright.PENANAG0RRnACbWI
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAE7D77WJAQ5
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFRE1tDQDxb
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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAuDJS0kdFwe
52Please respect copyright.PENANAEsG3HlfzTE
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANA9upNMVd8Zp
52Please respect copyright.PENANADqYSCGVg6s
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAeqdB8AAmnM
52Please respect copyright.PENANAvSYrk4Mqu4
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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAw5jI8RbuOj
52Please respect copyright.PENANARxuBozhizv
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAGyJDqoSzVo
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6QusduPj0p
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAuXZvgpIOub
52Please respect copyright.PENANAJNkW8wCQOr
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANADbh5A2HJqG
52Please respect copyright.PENANAsv3BaQ3NT2
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.52Please respect copyright.PENANAeETy6Snuv2
52Please respect copyright.PENANAKlb1KzknIb
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAN9BOWEqp2a
52Please respect copyright.PENANANkoeHLkLrL
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.52Please respect copyright.PENANAtCoIpyoEmx

"Did the zombite bite you?"52Please respect copyright.PENANAYd2vjVpgwd
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYDK0ENnfR9
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANA240hmrrrHZ
52Please respect copyright.PENANABk0pZaKR7f
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?"52Please respect copyright.PENANAG054nCzi9C
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFqTmiwDRyQ
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?!"52Please respect copyright.PENANAU1CUajXq7K
52Please respect copyright.PENANAFeV6t3tDov
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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAvXtnJhGg7M
52Please respect copyright.PENANAQQz0iWju53
"It's just twisted, not broken."52Please respect copyright.PENANAzTXmEnrtty

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 52Please respect copyright.PENANASZJCctWNaw
52Please respect copyright.PENANAfEjfPwWl1R
"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."52Please respect copyright.PENANApIlBKxgD8Z
52Please respect copyright.PENANAU69iZUMZ5t
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.52Please respect copyright.PENANAGiElqFPACv
52Please respect copyright.PENANA6xTSgBBiyo
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAia0GTJFybE
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWHMLz5HXG6
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"52Please respect copyright.PENANAnGeNsNvHQI
52Please respect copyright.PENANAeKLwvVvN0b
"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-"52Please respect copyright.PENANAQaldxt81Ze
52Please respect copyright.PENANABawhcObdmk
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAFHKAvUHEoM
52Please respect copyright.PENANAF0f6EQ1EEU
"I don't want to talk about it."52Please respect copyright.PENANAjNvZGLOtax
52Please respect copyright.PENANA9odR6XDov0
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAlPeCYGsy3A
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYvU0ADnlW4
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.52Please respect copyright.PENANAUARaSfB0jb

52Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nqo6EJ3IR

"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.52Please respect copyright.PENANAa8e8A4U3kI
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPqMaQWGjOo
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAJv33wFYQwd

52Please respect copyright.PENANAAB7eZUe8zd
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."52Please respect copyright.PENANALGxfxGV5A0
52Please respect copyright.PENANAGwF8SNCwOA
He sighs. "Okay, fine."52Please respect copyright.PENANASsxTy0W0w6
52Please respect copyright.PENANAVNOK3766PO
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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAZfwIZCeicM
52Please respect copyright.PENANAT8wdvdjFOh
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.52Please respect copyright.PENANASISkZrJTBw

52Please respect copyright.PENANAOdK2BhyQu9
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAyNxre119Kb
52Please respect copyright.PENANABGi4u0Ynq0
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 52Please respect copyright.PENANA2V5h6cjpyT

52Please respect copyright.PENANAeuoHRHbWu2
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 52Please respect copyright.PENANApIzGm2Lb3q
52Please respect copyright.PENANAw2iFVOBiRr
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.52Please respect copyright.PENANAJKlTlLLxId
52Please respect copyright.PENANASn1btlwhrH
"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAuD5Ax8bGuv
52Please respect copyright.PENANACLCgTYFNd2
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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAtsiU9KZHrO
52Please respect copyright.PENANAh4Zyb6xQUd
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.52Please respect copyright.PENANAmPnQB4XRx6

52Please respect copyright.PENANAwTCsWhYFjN
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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAilb5VyGj6P
52Please respect copyright.PENANAhQob0Vn6TW
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.52Please respect copyright.PENANAiSKZn4z6R5

"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.52Please respect copyright.PENANAXXCfRKI7Yt
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYCLrymnCE2

52Please respect copyright.PENANAtXFrJZIBFZ
"I know."52Please respect copyright.PENANA6Aq3dqjc7Z
52Please respect copyright.PENANAYJbCExYz05
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANArfR3249j1E
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlPeWeBQhoF
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.52Please respect copyright.PENANAEpaM8ZIu3m

52Please respect copyright.PENANAhPKppJx4ek
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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAgTssmqqlLG
52Please respect copyright.PENANABDwUbvaaGf
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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAZK6ad0xxNg
52Please respect copyright.PENANAmxNaPxam01
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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAUUlJe2lE2f
52Please respect copyright.PENANAildyTFui8B
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.52Please respect copyright.PENANAysiLu60MgZ

"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.52Please respect copyright.PENANAsirSNpQDS4

"Who's this person?" Paisley asks, opening a pantry door which reveals some photos tacked to the door. 52Please respect copyright.PENANA2qPevLMEq7
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3ct3Ktb31t
"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. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAMWcDgyGAGf

52Please respect copyright.PENANAXRAdAUzbhX
"Left where?" Slate asks confused, looking at Evelyn and her belly. Bethany waves her hand, giving him the look to shut up. 52Please respect copyright.PENANAkiYXE6aqLb

He gets it. "Uh... So, what are we going to do about-"52Please respect copyright.PENANASWwoRTvRIq

"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.52Please respect copyright.PENANAjrSDJrBSh6
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjJX1gLiLz9
