Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAnlMmfBwu0g
234Please respect copyright.PENANAaENWHh7ar0
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAA8Cse50rkQ
234Please respect copyright.PENANAMbwWMTslBe
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANA0fnoGVoZU5
234Please respect copyright.PENANAOIs2nleVKC
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANA6FXuZ9BdAz

234Please respect copyright.PENANAfqjNmwPdnN

234Please respect copyright.PENANAsmraSSowhw
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."234Please respect copyright.PENANAp8K513y0ZT

234Please respect copyright.PENANADZ3afcw4Nb

234Please respect copyright.PENANAJTUMjQ40bD
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAp06H5osX03
234Please respect copyright.PENANAjI89lco2kf
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAW2yrcB4xDU
234Please respect copyright.PENANA2PaGQ0aDQd
"I'm sorry, Slate."234Please respect copyright.PENANAzyRW4LSza1
234Please respect copyright.PENANAUG9OCbG3z3
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANANVXQhR0wkP

Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.234Please respect copyright.PENANA4zOHq2NTMc

234Please respect copyright.PENANAF9mDW3Id4B

234Please respect copyright.PENANASnAyZCsIrW
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAlUtPzfKGkM
234Please respect copyright.PENANA3J8E30ZfOU
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAmsODPF2H8O
234Please respect copyright.PENANAchMnhr3pL5
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANADGsVLBiO2C
234Please respect copyright.PENANA9pSgxzzHig
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAKr6SOu5AIt
234Please respect copyright.PENANAiLXrrgN43Y
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANArL8TitMI6F
234Please respect copyright.PENANApKFHERYaIw
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAzCVbA4Pp2y
234Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9FBipH0ZG
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAyMznZRP8XU
234Please respect copyright.PENANA7e3B8GHGAD
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAasOuoHO3sK
234Please respect copyright.PENANAJJiGshcdX9
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAXjJ33Y15eV
234Please respect copyright.PENANAji2ihK1mpx
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.234Please respect copyright.PENANAweMbgDyFTZ
234Please respect copyright.PENANACaDNKIsU2P
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAbmgWsccI4f
234Please respect copyright.PENANAwgFJQNWDEz
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.234Please respect copyright.PENANA5lvPwHXxH5

234Please respect copyright.PENANA70dUjllsON
"Did the zombite bite you?"234Please respect copyright.PENANApEHcpLc7kR
234Please respect copyright.PENANAyf4wgE1NyZ
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAWxfOanQYnY
234Please respect copyright.PENANALVW1qHYFBP
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?"234Please respect copyright.PENANAt9BCn9JbJF
234Please respect copyright.PENANAvQhJrTfAn8
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?!"234Please respect copyright.PENANArldn6SSAcq
234Please respect copyright.PENANAah24swnXv1
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAJsQ5nzTpPW
234Please respect copyright.PENANAo4JRLXzNi0
"It's just twisted, not broken."234Please respect copyright.PENANAKj6sMbupRb

"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 234Please respect copyright.PENANA0ycnd0Lwyj
234Please respect copyright.PENANAQIai2l6Qtu
"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."234Please respect copyright.PENANA2DrdgU5FQN
234Please respect copyright.PENANAIu5qaPCQZi
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.234Please respect copyright.PENANARrsfnhJxSx
234Please respect copyright.PENANAjHjlmjMadU
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANA7WDyuevrAu
234Please respect copyright.PENANA0ISgd0eXY3
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"234Please respect copyright.PENANALtqZ1T0EO5
234Please respect copyright.PENANAhd06PVIRHt
"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-"234Please respect copyright.PENANAPq6U2rQyH6
234Please respect copyright.PENANAtT9B114wBo
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAHyTVlIoLQ6
234Please respect copyright.PENANAw6rZQStRa1
"I don't want to talk about it."234Please respect copyright.PENANA7ta953bQWT
234Please respect copyright.PENANAcMRXBia3Mo
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5rdzUkEzi
234Please respect copyright.PENANAzAL0YGyC8b
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.234Please respect copyright.PENANAjj09u83FPq

234Please respect copyright.PENANAGvyPtVBQZX

"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.234Please respect copyright.PENANASuvk7KfVMu

"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANADAX3LGvBi5
234Please respect copyright.PENANA1d3QVvpDD0

234Please respect copyright.PENANASAgbB4adVY
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."234Please respect copyright.PENANAOr6y87iXya
234Please respect copyright.PENANAQbDXNKHpZy
He sighs. "Okay, fine."234Please respect copyright.PENANAlqmWoj6iIQ
234Please respect copyright.PENANAPgjY1lxRKG
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAgKEHetBaHp
234Please respect copyright.PENANAa01pcZLKNH
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.234Please respect copyright.PENANAb2udABKdhz

234Please respect copyright.PENANAUFIJWgow6W
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAui8VOm8o8Q
234Please respect copyright.PENANA9cQClAnNxo
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAbvUIENBT3O

234Please respect copyright.PENANAdYNncH1IcD
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAQSpyEl8OEM
234Please respect copyright.PENANAfvt5w3iEUS
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.234Please respect copyright.PENANATcsTjRdzu1
234Please respect copyright.PENANAUtCBLTnTAb
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAdi12sunm9o
234Please respect copyright.PENANADAevpdn2Q9
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAlxKoObu0YZ
234Please respect copyright.PENANADDYz3mv6Ru
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.234Please respect copyright.PENANAmhvWrTi9dh
234Please respect copyright.PENANAjYDyewI7cJ
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANA2V3OQtQSdU
234Please respect copyright.PENANAztaJ211aij
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAE6KPOfcUgd
234Please respect copyright.PENANAS3QNq3VQC3
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.234Please respect copyright.PENANAC8gsgFkaOV
234Please respect copyright.PENANAs4WgNWkzmV
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.234Please respect copyright.PENANAPkuLfeEv4X
234Please respect copyright.PENANAZwlUo9ZKey
"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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAG3vttNDhSV
234Please respect copyright.PENANAGJjbg4iU60
"I know."234Please respect copyright.PENANAejoJJ80Tgn
234Please respect copyright.PENANA8bp3YDoXwP
"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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAmPqFj1eXTw
234Please respect copyright.PENANABc9XPYFj6J
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.234Please respect copyright.PENANAn130qp77Es

234Please respect copyright.PENANAaIhcC5L3jW
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAS1LmxpOFbm
234Please respect copyright.PENANAgSj2NgD2Lc
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.234Please respect copyright.PENANAMq12HLHdN2
234Please respect copyright.PENANAKfj5kCvZde
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAg9UdtiVa93
234Please respect copyright.PENANALy0iDIRN2B
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.234Please respect copyright.PENANA9rbQ7Xc9c8
234Please respect copyright.PENANAiv4CEmDDvW
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAYovRCn1jeu
234Please respect copyright.PENANA0L84TERaAg
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAFMpWUrZBsW

"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAFNrzQoT6lw
234Please respect copyright.PENANA659u9T2uEk

"Sounds good. You're picking it up." Slate smiles at Beth.234Please respect copyright.PENANADlA1Ra2aG2

234Please respect copyright.PENANAgHaQnKpmea
"Left where?" Slate asks confused, looking at Evelyn and her belly. Bethany waves her hand, giving him the look to shut up. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAVTHB48TRXA

He gets it. "Uh... So, what are we going to do about-"234Please respect copyright.PENANAz9NF4vQ4IB

234Please respect copyright.PENANAj7ls0K0pxI
