Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAXcRYQaqBBl
48Please respect copyright.PENANAa5GLlbGzzr
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.48Please respect copyright.PENANApJ48o475At
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlXGSUMFsHI
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZMYb8vsdj
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzdvgHrjadL
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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAZphWxk0H4h
48Please respect copyright.PENANAn3r38rF8VG
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."48Please respect copyright.PENANAbJNnTVZqAJ
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFanL2rzl4X
"Mmm, Slate?" Beth whispers, stretching her arms, waking up. He takes a seat on the bed. "How'd you sleep?" He asks, smiling.48Please respect copyright.PENANALiApUKKl2X
48Please respect copyright.PENANACl4UwdWsGL

48Please respect copyright.PENANAAORSj77L7t

48Please respect copyright.PENANAmjGPi2KEQp
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."48Please respect copyright.PENANAlPWZZQCf3y

48Please respect copyright.PENANAaeDBvgMuUT

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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAv7h5ufwW7Q
48Please respect copyright.PENANAyL7UglwQLM
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANA4xWtoNL4ib
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6kp710I0zD
"I'm sorry, Slate."48Please respect copyright.PENANAGM2mpVKSXb

48Please respect copyright.PENANAWodQimfp58
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.48Please respect copyright.PENANAl04o1jA9Ho
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzLcbIC3gxF

"I'm hungry."48Please respect copyright.PENANAHXZ1yO5Pqa

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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAKE8Y12Sws6
48Please respect copyright.PENANAgivKcQp5la

48Please respect copyright.PENANA9xKhuRzvLp
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAhYVFhrzn4H
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnMZY8Jhrw4
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAVlRx2QhA4G
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZBeaZEevoD
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.48Please respect copyright.PENANADh1RFpIEc0
48Please respect copyright.PENANAMnZlvfKN63
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAAd2eXUswDY
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6WSozfVGlJ
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAhxne7arXtL
48Please respect copyright.PENANAczvuUkP8oM
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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANADC77IPxdr3
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8FHMTMEjUx
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAYuOukld5kI
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8gaRUzr6yQ
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAYPXOLzCGV8
48Please respect copyright.PENANAi41l90jNFF
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAGOvp5mQUoc
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFcMBlLs2MD
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.48Please respect copyright.PENANA8zKXWdv4xw
48Please respect copyright.PENANAuOxAWUYL2d
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAXvJ67ZiGFp
48Please respect copyright.PENANAL85eILwxnK
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.48Please respect copyright.PENANA7vKeah7zcG

48Please respect copyright.PENANAKvaSFqVYoL
"Did the zombite bite you?"48Please respect copyright.PENANAsiPviIWZM7
48Please respect copyright.PENANA4u1ivIRjnl
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAFrNZxLr72W
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiJpND0O9JP
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?"48Please respect copyright.PENANAy0q4EqWJuF
48Please respect copyright.PENANAeRlKISROrK
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?!"48Please respect copyright.PENANAX4qIOZMtp4
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ7wNuVmBj
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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAYkh92y4Sd7
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGrVRzo7KpA
"It's just twisted, not broken."48Please respect copyright.PENANA0wkMlkr2ci

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 48Please respect copyright.PENANArSogyFEKKZ
48Please respect copyright.PENANAXOLY7fJ6co
"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."48Please respect copyright.PENANAuwR572a4v7
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7KH6H0AsDy
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.48Please respect copyright.PENANADGsIWDqsLh
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcuCRGCYCJ1
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAnjw9OXdZ3W
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZNMXz7yHh
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"48Please respect copyright.PENANAQBsqG4SU7Y
48Please respect copyright.PENANAg1HTc9ANTb
"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-"48Please respect copyright.PENANAk8fDHFjsoc
48Please respect copyright.PENANA48QJs2RVLD
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAYz8lryOMtk
48Please respect copyright.PENANAb3I8BB3vF0
"I don't want to talk about it."48Please respect copyright.PENANASfPfRUFtIf
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFfB2snAOvu
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAOLe4GTYu4I
48Please respect copyright.PENANA3nnXRZEHtf
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.48Please respect copyright.PENANA80ui4GGmDN
48Please respect copyright.PENANAvJTzvwu32G
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAoPyImh2gIQ

48Please respect copyright.PENANA6oV8E99o3O

48Please respect copyright.PENANAdDRHs28weX
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.48Please respect copyright.PENANAKUsKgSLHNj
48Please respect copyright.PENANAO8IgqeaCK7
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANApnOcxL7u13

48Please respect copyright.PENANAr2KhI9tS9K
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAFnEoRixDhm
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcfATsuJthY
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."48Please respect copyright.PENANAzTOwWmvs65
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0GCWLJ4DDX
He sighs. "Okay, fine."48Please respect copyright.PENANAYOpyEFyRRk
48Please respect copyright.PENANAghpML7F81v
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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAoILkqwLtrQ
48Please respect copyright.PENANAI73CzspQBW
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.48Please respect copyright.PENANAssYzIe4TsA

48Please respect copyright.PENANAKMxGTjySHI
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAmsZjgynyYa
48Please respect copyright.PENANA3qoAGSwod0
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAxPFO3LpaeI
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsRCYy1tTTk
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAZBKxOrN5vy

48Please respect copyright.PENANACC0yAACMx0
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 48Please respect copyright.PENANALBoTaoYkLN
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZzWch94QlE
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.48Please respect copyright.PENANAsivpQUJWKH
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEDVf2PnHAJ
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAEEsMFOKWeI
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8pLFLkM7f8
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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAXIsla7fGA5
48Please respect copyright.PENANAB3x1HdqZbb
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.48Please respect copyright.PENANAjYAVdpdkZ2
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtlDq2afN8T

48Please respect copyright.PENANALyfTEb1rLd
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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAThYqTTz7pW
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbKWYggnCWW
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.48Please respect copyright.PENANAUgIlnIRZUE
48Please respect copyright.PENANAAh0MELiFn0
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.48Please respect copyright.PENANArFVQeoowmv
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUB6t97Udxv
"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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAJn5LG6xcLh
48Please respect copyright.PENANAm8oW4RAQJX
"I know."48Please respect copyright.PENANA4r7GI1sLVh
48Please respect copyright.PENANAkONUXFfQoF
"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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAIGeuZNYvqj
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rthna5pn2

48Please respect copyright.PENANAUdHVHg1neb
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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANAUH4ipIfF9m
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9cXoTs9aqB
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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAa4sPS6wiCx
48Please respect copyright.PENANAuUBDIoANNO
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. 48Please respect copyright.PENANA2cv1KsVpbL
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHpdSXtfopM
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.48Please respect copyright.PENANAuvgxOXvkai
