Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 214Please respect copyright.PENANA1lMbTwfY7K
214Please respect copyright.PENANAmT8zeY2JMM
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAnbtNmX9Del
214Please respect copyright.PENANAX8XY6TzlVc
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA4NM15yQIe1
214Please respect copyright.PENANAJkaByNrorW
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAfBeSyiaYZp

"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."214Please respect copyright.PENANA8NiSbRk4lu

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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAPP2hn9ZkUs
214Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ1HwfeTA5
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANANORYRtCWlu
214Please respect copyright.PENANAm65eRtlTVr
"I'm sorry, Slate."214Please respect copyright.PENANAZWhN8O1HM3
214Please respect copyright.PENANAGU8RQ2YdMl

"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAB3PtPS5zjO
214Please respect copyright.PENANArkhrOhSVCO
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAowLkpFPHc0
214Please respect copyright.PENANAVc2M5Lcmwi
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAUP44lcSdDn
214Please respect copyright.PENANAg6pkiSNktj
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAl2Ft5B4tKS
214Please respect copyright.PENANAfBHV6mnPDL
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA4vC5RtDHa5
214Please respect copyright.PENANAZkJeaSsI75
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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANA0WH6wrYXqu
214Please respect copyright.PENANAo8hBDUxEC5
"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAI41fRePh6H
214Please respect copyright.PENANA8hluypYwy7
"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANA2EaKbktk7z
214Please respect copyright.PENANAIUa30swGOx
"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAyqxZwNt4MG
214Please respect copyright.PENANAvXroJt70vf
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.214Please respect copyright.PENANAlcTQNij8wx
214Please respect copyright.PENANAnoAMhtxrC4
"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANApZcDxn08b8
214Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8CsBh4au4
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.214Please respect copyright.PENANAAmJ2KL6QoI

"Did the zombite bite you?"214Please respect copyright.PENANAWEBWZHbPqC
214Please respect copyright.PENANAfDs796hGcs
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA7kylqJT77A
214Please respect copyright.PENANAtxFgKIqvJ0
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?"214Please respect copyright.PENANAdadcbKoICG
214Please respect copyright.PENANAM3GeL85vBo
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?!"214Please respect copyright.PENANA9E1CtLELDA
214Please respect copyright.PENANAYjUAcgLq6o
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAe8wzdvwXae
214Please respect copyright.PENANAGsKMfBnL0Q

"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."214Please respect copyright.PENANA8hjyks3yda
214Please respect copyright.PENANAwtLRAIwXsC
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.214Please respect copyright.PENANA6ywtYN2q3g
214Please respect copyright.PENANAcszDbRFk9p
"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANASsng3lXGGJ
214Please respect copyright.PENANAu9INjeOrSP
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"214Please respect copyright.PENANA9ptntQnQBs
214Please respect copyright.PENANApzq4f22KJ2
"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-"214Please respect copyright.PENANA9sa219S6Ak
214Please respect copyright.PENANA3VJ7ElRryL
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA0LPUeabkGj

"I don't want to talk about it."214Please respect copyright.PENANATJt20T4msT
214Please respect copyright.PENANAF1r7GWVBc9
"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANABQ9XX7ienz
214Please respect copyright.PENANAoIBRh6E5TH
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.214Please respect copyright.PENANASmY8iLFXvY

214Please respect copyright.PENANAicTXlUw4OI
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."214Please respect copyright.PENANAflsNlYUtxd
214Please respect copyright.PENANAQcokaIXhxT
He sighs. "Okay, fine."214Please respect copyright.PENANAzAZAk4vRET
214Please respect copyright.PENANAUiY1mzt75o
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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAlUsjnfmwMZ
214Please respect copyright.PENANAikIZW2ERma
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.214Please respect copyright.PENANAJALgURtJUv

214Please respect copyright.PENANAVkJGBqtlfz
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAfVz64zn4NJ

214Please respect copyright.PENANAk7Tx83mpv1
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAjxszQDMCvP
214Please respect copyright.PENANA6qQcksj0RW
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.214Please respect copyright.PENANAAptUopyyYv
214Please respect copyright.PENANAjK6kMcSPHl
"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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA1ko0NNRJxD
214Please respect copyright.PENANAClNa6hOb7B
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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANADFU2o089Jw
214Please respect copyright.PENANA6v1clsRSZ0
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.214Please respect copyright.PENANAjMmiuQgBDd

214Please respect copyright.PENANAXAHBTglRfc
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAlLtaDwWIli
214Please respect copyright.PENANAuyLdLH7cyh
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.214Please respect copyright.PENANAR7MPCocgVH

"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.214Please respect copyright.PENANAPshtxdEo52
214Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ6l0iFzfi

214Please respect copyright.PENANAV5diEW4M07
"I know."214Please respect copyright.PENANAfp54IUAjwZ
214Please respect copyright.PENANAhFjALuMBiD
"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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAKR5MQwaheW
214Please respect copyright.PENANA01gez0P6Y0

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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANALWcStfyqzL
214Please respect copyright.PENANAb81cu74e1A
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAnAEJdHjt17
214Please respect copyright.PENANAcDPNPftyxh
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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAwDtsiNGDlf
214Please respect copyright.PENANArODlkLSAuq
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.214Please respect copyright.PENANANL3zar8mGq

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAzO9hhj6nrh
214Please respect copyright.PENANAEvNuz26NQT
