Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 170Please respect copyright.PENANATOOUT2fy73
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2aTrKHnY4g
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAOxNsnpgbKK
170Please respect copyright.PENANANFPrygMmo8
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANADtvyyiQ5Pq
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAWttAyYhBK
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANACqcdat9JB6

170Please respect copyright.PENANABOT8S4eFhU
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."170Please respect copyright.PENANA5oTFfN80sP

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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAmrucywEkQM
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiAvk1gfQtY
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAo2kGlPnThR
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvsW708labK
"I'm sorry, Slate."170Please respect copyright.PENANAc4FBEjVPMN
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkamAp662AA
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAvY7RLrbSEp

"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAVCMbTIUKTk
170Please respect copyright.PENANAi0ScpVrJdt
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA1DYbFQHOmZ
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3wzsRh92y1
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA0h7I9BWjkl
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9gPaZCdSpr
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAzr69LxayAs
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQmQ1UOQKKK
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAynzzSoU0zX
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbcqr4BsXQ0
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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAw4XxhwZ6xT
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxBEHlPnilJ
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAU4LuSmAdkI
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOgaytQ2Sjq
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAPZo61j9iMH
170Please respect copyright.PENANAulZJpZIUVQ
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAT9K4qrBa3G
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgvd1Oc5ucr
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.170Please respect copyright.PENANARa87vUTrK4
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdtlBUdwz7Y
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAe6LaGSCaVk
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUY1lrcKbMt
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3PmsJwybu

170Please respect copyright.PENANA8jAsyjqsOz
"Did the zombite bite you?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAxmVulAYzNR
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsso6EFsap7
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAvqX3rFmha5
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiacWtjdo5z
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?"170Please respect copyright.PENANA5NPaj3wFCU
170Please respect copyright.PENANA71aihQX7mn
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?!"170Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Y54DwRiQ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8EwvoWTAS
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAwy9EXZTQVA
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvTfSyS5Esy
"It's just twisted, not broken."170Please respect copyright.PENANATHMaXGP16u

170Please respect copyright.PENANAzYSVhQEvAM
"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."170Please respect copyright.PENANAlqnj5sLt6J
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKTGM7iMaQw
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.170Please respect copyright.PENANAVAkHcAT5Qc
170Please respect copyright.PENANAydPXdXa69A
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAfrDF9kRr7d
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkUrhuNAazZ
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAkKmFd8hXUI
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoPQHNRpkZL
"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-"170Please respect copyright.PENANAhRHeg4QFCb
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQgUHYwWDBK
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAMgI5KikwU7
170Please respect copyright.PENANATGI2kMOtEB
"I don't want to talk about it."170Please respect copyright.PENANAuFXRGZfD2o
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUYe0mWrBrp
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANADL2BLPPUmb
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1F4jQbEAdL
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.170Please respect copyright.PENANAgEyfWMvpI5
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9cykfeR7Em
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAJfi3CdsLYS

170Please respect copyright.PENANAFiAzsWBSj8

"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.170Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ1JT8ZRoo

"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAp1aAbqf8oC

170Please respect copyright.PENANAJlTORDCsIr
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."170Please respect copyright.PENANAzHenbIX5pt
170Please respect copyright.PENANAD79PN2IIXQ
He sighs. "Okay, fine."170Please respect copyright.PENANAyia90IYqzi
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVqIXw1RF6t
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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAr6v3SnrmN1
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzwvcflvMXE
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.170Please respect copyright.PENANAuOG1UccaWH

170Please respect copyright.PENANACAOqgDm5aj
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAoJRqhCei7E
170Please respect copyright.PENANAihgPFzKNzB
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANAUC0GSnakj7
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZR3f4ga3YU
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAXTLVYMJ18Q

170Please respect copyright.PENANAFAWRYKzObA
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAJXcFssemK2
170Please respect copyright.PENANANfKnrrbl2I
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.170Please respect copyright.PENANAlxpng1xfdA
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiiIrv2ndlH
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA5UPRKJTXpZ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbaqNtmMORk
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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4vEAmVrYK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYEOYkkXd2s
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.170Please respect copyright.PENANAS6JAMEXhCb

170Please respect copyright.PENANAvlHhRnvPow
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANATOjAYKy58L
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbebgqXMkvl
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.170Please respect copyright.PENANAszIuFZIJlC
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtdxxkE4cqR
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.170Please respect copyright.PENANAHcmBmOL3OI
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxTYvtyKd5L
"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.170Please respect copyright.PENANA1DsOgcJBDZ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9KI2tTjy8
"I know."170Please respect copyright.PENANABQv2nKBxG9
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJETaBAGxJX
"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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAMcmqR5gsmQ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAROinlMCAW5
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.170Please respect copyright.PENANA61NegC1k47

170Please respect copyright.PENANAXIWwhFlgKE
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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAZYKQDwQWgC
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiY20oHqC8x
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.170Please respect copyright.PENANANtO5WXXyyQ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAugmdRXFgL7
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. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAncgVQhcky7
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPooTHa4dtx
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.170Please respect copyright.PENANA278DkYq6kI
170Please respect copyright.PENANAydvv66MUMU
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 170Please respect copyright.PENANA8QFJxgKvjR
170Please respect copyright.PENANADb0xceUwWd
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAT3IWfTpyET

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 170Please respect copyright.PENANAfGtv4KyARH
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2COjGddDzT
