Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAu1Y7KF2DOb
182Please respect copyright.PENANAhyu036QNl9
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.182Please respect copyright.PENANArt8MoUbBHo
182Please respect copyright.PENANAWNzuh3uIR2
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAoZIYCELKdS
182Please respect copyright.PENANA2KM5rTdcft
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.182Please respect copyright.PENANADyg3iftdMX
182Please respect copyright.PENANAubFfWwlEkA
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."182Please respect copyright.PENANAxBpmLsCbJg
182Please respect copyright.PENANAsWBxNe6Gd2
"Mmm, Slate?" Beth whispers, stretching her arms, waking up. He takes a seat on the bed. "How'd you sleep?" He asks, smiling.182Please respect copyright.PENANAkw4QyxRvLD
182Please respect copyright.PENANAevrkwTtBA6

182Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Sz5BcUqt
"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."182Please respect copyright.PENANAN9x9z8Eibs
182Please respect copyright.PENANAIvirnZ2WdM

182Please respect copyright.PENANAs3hjdnhcOf
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."182Please respect copyright.PENANAlBwZtf117R

182Please respect copyright.PENANAzZO1llmWjL
"Can think of pop culture refrences and other stuff?"182Please respect copyright.PENANAHFLbGrKGKv

"Yeah."182Please respect copyright.PENANArn4iBxNXnl
182Please respect copyright.PENANASu9XHHDfAq

"We'll have to ask the others what they remember."182Please respect copyright.PENANABFDlAJzvhC
182Please respect copyright.PENANAbix0nWODqE
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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANA1M0KdxSIwz
182Please respect copyright.PENANAH1AlAsZcYt
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAtunooLDC7x
182Please respect copyright.PENANAXhbIfZTEAw
"I'm sorry, Slate."182Please respect copyright.PENANAJSGOMx8Ddc
182Please respect copyright.PENANAAn2p1jACrW
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANASSw0KDYozK
182Please respect copyright.PENANA2dv2t2rOhY

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 182Please respect copyright.PENANAUYrtv0tLod
182Please respect copyright.PENANA7eTnUMP0W3
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.182Please respect copyright.PENANAd3w9eKiuNY
182Please respect copyright.PENANAbWv7JpfAbq

182Please respect copyright.PENANAac0fVTlez5
"I'm hungry."182Please respect copyright.PENANAopHQC85Aw5
182Please respect copyright.PENANA4yeq4tEcez
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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAp9z7qxGvH7
182Please respect copyright.PENANAUaRmK74udO

182Please respect copyright.PENANA0zKTUwVVWt
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAB8RSj7Mhdh
182Please respect copyright.PENANAUQszM5UJTi
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAVPvJUUtK4n
182Please respect copyright.PENANAuojsKn1lby
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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAVwLscopBwW
182Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ1dBozDv0
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANA0lZSWoVUpM
182Please respect copyright.PENANAye7GCnqcUk
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAEsAdyXHL8D
182Please respect copyright.PENANAP1pEy6cTAC
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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAbWLapD8z0r
182Please respect copyright.PENANAaXqOgGXaES
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAB3cMh0uVGf
182Please respect copyright.PENANAADci2cVQ8f
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANABiZqTUlAUL
182Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Fo5Ci5h2
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAFqbNuTV60K
182Please respect copyright.PENANAvVBefjmiMs
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.182Please respect copyright.PENANAWGMrxuardl
182Please respect copyright.PENANAOQot0k1zBJ
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAjzQonZjc49
182Please respect copyright.PENANAzcNGlVyR5h
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.182Please respect copyright.PENANAzmLTXgDkfq
182Please respect copyright.PENANAd0I0iKjBuX
"Bitten?"182Please respect copyright.PENANAxXhKpJCcA5
182Please respect copyright.PENANA3uQGygZhql
"Did the zombite bite you?"182Please respect copyright.PENANAOxdnC2YXX3
182Please respect copyright.PENANAMKDKx5z82l
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAmt6FzuDUS8
182Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1i0CzdKx5
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?"182Please respect copyright.PENANA0spBfybv9F
182Please respect copyright.PENANAMdGIj6sDYj
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?!"182Please respect copyright.PENANALiMi7fwMx2
182Please respect copyright.PENANAE87BciXetC
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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAznSeWcnX8i
182Please respect copyright.PENANAPEEIL6n6KQ
"It's just twisted, not broken."182Please respect copyright.PENANAwqb37VPMSX
182Please respect copyright.PENANA9jNw482qu4
"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAwh9OYM8gjP
182Please respect copyright.PENANA8zYoE4g1rC
"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."182Please respect copyright.PENANApRWx1F2SOd
182Please respect copyright.PENANAbqtzptFCH9
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.182Please respect copyright.PENANA4EQbHpRekP
182Please respect copyright.PENANAhnwF7E4Lhj
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAVyb0IyAZOd
182Please respect copyright.PENANABJz190wG5s
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"182Please respect copyright.PENANAHGtXEFx1n2
182Please respect copyright.PENANAvWitltvTpT
"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-"182Please respect copyright.PENANAK2al3nlZb7
182Please respect copyright.PENANAOGOd5Nwah4
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAJV0lFsuYZO
182Please respect copyright.PENANAsd8GVGmqPa
"I don't want to talk about it."182Please respect copyright.PENANA1GXNpI63xg
182Please respect copyright.PENANA99exp83E6m
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANA09tPNNcL1k
182Please respect copyright.PENANA7cBZXdcEQz
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.182Please respect copyright.PENANAyLJmX4l58z
182Please respect copyright.PENANASVjUaqGEZ0
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAs72fiDYWhE
182Please respect copyright.PENANAvcr20CU7ML
"29." Slate says. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAs3nrmodZli

"Shut up, you're lying."182Please respect copyright.PENANACjCXv8x3r1
182Please respect copyright.PENANALC0ZDnYToO
"I don't care if you don't believe us. We're leaving. This world is infested with freaking zombies. We didn't even bloody remember, but we'll deal with it."182Please respect copyright.PENANA4S1DZj9o9u
182Please respect copyright.PENANAAIYejTPpUN
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.182Please respect copyright.PENANAlrHQI3l6xN
182Please respect copyright.PENANAl9tcEcSTRR
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.182Please respect copyright.PENANAXjsXiCZSEb
182Please respect copyright.PENANAEbgqZLguKu
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAZkVRLvkPUa
182Please respect copyright.PENANA1QIfyfqNGJ
Where did you guys come from? Where are your parents?"182Please respect copyright.PENANAel2QCeqz5H

182Please respect copyright.PENANAHq8DZUnmk0
"Beth!" Slate says. 182Please respect copyright.PENANALl82EMJgPJ
182Please respect copyright.PENANARXFOeaKDcK
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 182Please respect copyright.PENANA92k97xjECp
182Please respect copyright.PENANABumHYRjhSE
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."182Please respect copyright.PENANAAiNLQztAPt
182Please respect copyright.PENANAqtAWjfFtXR
He sighs. "Okay, fine."182Please respect copyright.PENANAUbpCp7kG2G
182Please respect copyright.PENANAtC4rp1NdEG
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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAFICySr4u7r
182Please respect copyright.PENANAYRsH7pczLE
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.182Please respect copyright.PENANAKBVn4oXay4
182Please respect copyright.PENANAjtkWMAPefY
"Uh, hi everyone! I'm Noah, I used to be a primary school teacher - Kindergarten. This is Lindsey-"182Please respect copyright.PENANAaWEBrk6X7L
182Please respect copyright.PENANAjAd0YETxaC
"I was a Corrections Officer, troubled youth." Lindsey says quickly.182Please respect copyright.PENANAmfVc4zXlwV

"And I'm Evelyn, politican. I was on the Quantuamn goverment."182Please respect copyright.PENANAbtJLNOqQB7
182Please respect copyright.PENANAMhFE12GVYE
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAQlNpJeoZwS
182Please respect copyright.PENANAD4wiieKWFi
"People like me?!" Evenlyn says annoyed. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAWOprdQAuLA
182Please respect copyright.PENANAI12PADkkvw
"Evelyn, leave it. Bethany, you said something about escaping earlier. Is that what happened to you all? Did someone take you all?"182Please respect copyright.PENANAzJmN063D6C
182Please respect copyright.PENANARb1rzHIT0k
"I guess you could say that." Slate says. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAzJAl3o9u5d

"When did this happen? And when did you escape?"182Please respect copyright.PENANAovD57IPhSQ

"Last night, we escaped last night. It was unplanned, let's not talk about it."182Please respect copyright.PENANAvMpsBKTTGa
182Please respect copyright.PENANAItRQCpB5g4
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAOt7njQ8wko
182Please respect copyright.PENANAQn5yjuX8MH
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAYf5GmD3QJQ
182Please respect copyright.PENANAsyASTaWZyR
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAVpG7aGKgLa
182Please respect copyright.PENANA4c1agJ70hI

182Please respect copyright.PENANAHHKM01pnat
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANALk7LVIF11n
182Please respect copyright.PENANA2FvVNp0U3S
"You don't speak to me that way."182Please respect copyright.PENANA7s1fW8v1Se
182Please respect copyright.PENANAL8YwGhtaH5
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANACSy6LCz17u
182Please respect copyright.PENANAFICULg3qDY
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5b7qfRNDe
182Please respect copyright.PENANAGVaV6Mi8ey
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.182Please respect copyright.PENANAdF7iIjFqdp
182Please respect copyright.PENANAPvfB679Ihy
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAb1isnyRmXF
182Please respect copyright.PENANA3xryXxqWHB
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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANASStrhH2Tgj
182Please respect copyright.PENANA4fbSwmgHDH
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.182Please respect copyright.PENANAJ83AN7EVin
182Please respect copyright.PENANATo5RDTRhdw
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAenIGPvn0hm
182Please respect copyright.PENANAYtuRLVqyHY
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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAiDk8FGWgMf
182Please respect copyright.PENANAyGNBnnam2m
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.182Please respect copyright.PENANAko0KHQHNSi
182Please respect copyright.PENANAFNiZFPbyfa
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.182Please respect copyright.PENANAQKDOBwLKyv
182Please respect copyright.PENANADWIAPC7qrB
"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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAd3VQ5pSJTe
182Please respect copyright.PENANApzNfKqeYV3
"I know."182Please respect copyright.PENANAlKGmhYECRj
182Please respect copyright.PENANA5FkdjG6zRE
"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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANA1ALuY04LO3
182Please respect copyright.PENANARzK7gndFyZ
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.182Please respect copyright.PENANAqSh46p1nI6

---182Please respect copyright.PENANAMGmQCYfqpy
182Please respect copyright.PENANAYZKWqU9IIk
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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANADHnAnCATNf
182Please respect copyright.PENANA9CBMUJxG30
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.182Please respect copyright.PENANAmvE6UuMkPa
182Please respect copyright.PENANAVoPG5lqETt
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. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAKBp04jhaux
182Please respect copyright.PENANAjXPaNypuJG
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.182Please respect copyright.PENANAl9gi9UljaH
182Please respect copyright.PENANA0T2n8JK77K
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAyPI3snjiyG
182Please respect copyright.PENANAWTmIq2edQl
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAxhuulqrGK7
182Please respect copyright.PENANAUhk6QnYJda
"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 182Please respect copyright.PENANA0RhcaL0Bm4
182Please respect copyright.PENANAoBvdE1aTDX
"I knew that was coming. I tried to kill myself, end of story." Beth snaps, then spoons the food into her mouth. 182Please respect copyright.PENANAuAwYn2WlR0

"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.182Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Il9vxJdk
