Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui6Uvmb6nj
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08AQqa8u2a
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mGRUgRp7G
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6NN9kEb1M
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYsP9w4bpH
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKnGUOEkoS
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzTLAXdoVW

"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIKRzIPy1e

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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvy5OhgIwn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYEd1LcUon
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdqg8jIrOK

"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUA9X28YsZ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQYX1LyFO
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhrbr2XAr5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKsY4BfHef
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX0zLtVyj8
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUz9ujA2d4
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fNvlZRaqB
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jc44rleNs
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEgn6kn3LN
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYqO4RPaFj
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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnLjqCQc2c
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIeYdSzDvs
"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Fwe0KFqP
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFdePVOuVx
"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn92sa31JXJ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qRZk7C6uC
"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UxtYbqN2o
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwge4IuWK1l
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMMmt25q3g
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRCw5jvIoP
"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoJ7kDST3e
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpiSrGWJZ
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJK0xExEg

"Did the zombite bite you?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRJdxYRhXL
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiEqomVPHw
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeed8vsmIM
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtF9ieqz0v
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?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Cz00mi3j
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEZxsSTQWZ
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?!"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaHlIKUv9p
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEyfOma5kt
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEnJp9JM67
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuQsb0Z4DZ
"It's just twisted, not broken."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRyIYRxzAU

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ZIeBdABZ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTXuD6MDmG
"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."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuzpjecMfj
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMxEsWksC8
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmca3mGDy91
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJj9Bzk6TG
"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVjkde9P8E
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Jau0bT6Q
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOugu5t2JJw
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED21pramCk
"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-"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhIGzNp0IW
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH7KPlIKYf
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YYlWPLA6F
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2d51dACxd
"I don't want to talk about it."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPTYbQiifK
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyrZKBvAV7
"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e3H5eGXQV
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJooL1Y3PS
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFp3VQ4gb8

171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuGifnL4sK
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIchU8KPau

171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzg7QORoYF
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkseJheo6K6

He sighs. "Okay, fine."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs0WhKszm5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZcHOXOb8
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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaQYFcbInQ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrxAKShGc3
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4L0RlAsjF

171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvtzcnySea
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mH0doElD
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKEjQDjuIW
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rwocpi5MT

171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpsEOjQadq
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT2UQVuY4p

"Your neck." Evenlyn says.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nkW7euLUH
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CIEeRyNTd
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOkzm9SnI2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOdncbo7a8
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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqzz4eMrlU
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cAA2IwO42
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyYy7FZyBP
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGDBLzHU0p
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfP8rhXrTK
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjzClgiGIH
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC7OeSsMIo
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1DatS2Y0I
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ss4MBMyuE
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UdrfjXHn2
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJo8oWlMWC
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjlWTtIaf
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhDUw08cK2

"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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBHJ2YsSIz

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. 171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSAW05pVNK
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf5aS8lbYc
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeWRr3mwi3

"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqG0gLOqu
