Our group are asleep around the diming table, the fire in the fireplace dying out and reduced to a few embers still alive. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA4V2boeb43P
162Please respect copyright.PENANAN4GRoySAZK
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAIbeWWUSLLC
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVWgXU9AOIH
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA85rxbS3maZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnhHrCCxZo8
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAflRzEyGOZR
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUUMuazOoO8
"Enjoy your skinny dipping, Gid..."162Please respect copyright.PENANA4HQztNi5Hq
162Please respect copyright.PENANATsu6qbaGx7
"Mmm, Slate?" Beth whispers, stretching her arms, waking up. He takes a seat on the bed. "How'd you sleep?" He asks, smiling.162Please respect copyright.PENANAx97NgGTga7

162Please respect copyright.PENANAeySSTSnL0V
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAzq7tBJlOrS
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhp1LUEQYti

162Please respect copyright.PENANASMY0MnHSA4
"Sure, one performance coming up sometime."162Please respect copyright.PENANAiyI9IY6Pqb
And they both laugh. "This feels weird, since escaping... it feels like I can think for the first time. I still don't know who I am or where I came from, but..."162Please respect copyright.PENANAsTB6bdZ1K5
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhksaPg9SYk

"Yeah."162Please respect copyright.PENANAGE37ypXCmt

"We'll have to ask the others what they remember."162Please respect copyright.PENANAopxVk7hyrR
162Please respect copyright.PENANAR6TeMCWN6R
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAYHDy92G6NH
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAPZoKnSWD2
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAWNspBajISr
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMWaSeBKEXA
"I'm sorry, Slate."162Please respect copyright.PENANAD7rHNVY4DZ
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8h5kpoFC8I
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAhg4KvlJVMj
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvtbscJfMik
"Slate."162Please respect copyright.PENANAuoQONhbaXB

"Uh, let me handle it. I'll have to talk about it with them when we can." 162Please respect copyright.PENANAdMjd1lrq8F
162Please respect copyright.PENANACu7YKrx32J
Both watching Zekey now licking Paisley in the face who's laughing, Lyla patting the top of his furry little ears.162Please respect copyright.PENANAqQOAm7X892
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7A8b73J6qR

162Please respect copyright.PENANASpfwgACf8H
"I'm hungry."162Please respect copyright.PENANAS6oVI1Ugj7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzIR6LyCOV1
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANALGGu2B8KDM
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEOWvcBe6Dp

162Please respect copyright.PENANASFObKa3LGU
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAr0ekmVGaGf
162Please respect copyright.PENANAyGkFzfmraf
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAXeSYrXfBXQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjopkNR9c4Q
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAAIR8vHDVm8
162Please respect copyright.PENANALAUfzRH6nO
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAdbeSd5q2h8
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvX8OmSBLMr
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA6px96cCxd7
162Please respect copyright.PENANACy1zYCcXaQ
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAdTvEXD9S7z
162Please respect copyright.PENANANIAg1Ivs8p
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANA2BB0jSEx8Y
162Please respect copyright.PENANAc8MkdPeUrX
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAryfc5VFIvD
162Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Cp6XK5Pp
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAOfZ2ohCg97
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuWvjIblQA5
She can't move out the way and closes her eyes, arms over her face, bracing for impact.162Please respect copyright.PENANAcqIDMJWP03
162Please respect copyright.PENANANcbOd6Czyr
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAuwnJttpmLd
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHnY8u2vhIr
"Are you bitten?" The man asks.162Please respect copyright.PENANArgM9iu0jil
162Please respect copyright.PENANA6mVJxxxE0D
"Bitten?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAjAtwcAMYoH
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ0S8EAf8J
"Did the zombite bite you?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAevraQvF6Pm
162Please respect copyright.PENANAADYqUDthvU
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANASrddlCS0np
162Please respect copyright.PENANAf5l8DHo4IB
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?"162Please respect copyright.PENANANXGd0IJ1Wo
162Please respect copyright.PENANAD3zHohdLX7
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?!"162Please respect copyright.PENANArecbi72Ib3
162Please respect copyright.PENANAapekaY9DBu
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAu8WhGsJmJA
162Please respect copyright.PENANAx5I6kpD9LX
"It's just twisted, not broken."162Please respect copyright.PENANA41eA5yKgTJ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAws360g4LKU
"Are you a doctor?" Slate asks. 162Please respect copyright.PENANACtS3kIlFri
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4aXwH4x2Jj
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAC0kIKxFpww
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmcmr7HonSU
"Call me girly again, and I will bite your dick off." Beth hisses.162Please respect copyright.PENANAXrpnUe5yrf
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5r2sISq1eS
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAeM64A9kaai
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZE3RrbC0pM
She nods. "Who are you both, and what are you doing out here?"162Please respect copyright.PENANArLo17cgezI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAekvjsn2c0a
"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-"162Please respect copyright.PENANAKZS8l2DeRV
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7D6qTQrMBA
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAWdmmvXmkBG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAefdvUjxQK2
"I don't want to talk about it."162Please respect copyright.PENANAPfshjEhkl4
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPYsm458uwh
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAm9zq9pXiyr
162Please respect copyright.PENANASbtc15whoB
We have those supplies, warmer clothes, we have a RV. We can help you both." Noah tells them.162Please respect copyright.PENANAsD3McszSsK
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5tDXMvJj73
"How old are you guys even? You look barely 18." Evelyn judges them. 162Please respect copyright.PENANASixTIoCFCg
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4MNIqwrvNt
"29." Slate says. 162Please respect copyright.PENANASApOUZkRAI

"Shut up, you're lying."162Please respect copyright.PENANApEbfzh3aTD
162Please respect copyright.PENANAlDfa7wWfDU
"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."162Please respect copyright.PENANAzk2FlReovS
162Please respect copyright.PENANAi4EwCnTS7C
"Slate, we still need food. There is us, three other hungry people and a dog." Beth points out.162Please respect copyright.PENANAbahCIAIQl7
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMCpC34sghq
"Wait, there is more of you?" Evelyn says.162Please respect copyright.PENANAGFe8Sln0A5
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtZX3yLi8qW
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANARZExsMn7CP
162Please respect copyright.PENANACzmGVp4KgP
Where did you guys come from? Where are your parents?"162Please respect copyright.PENANAhEnpXO51HT

162Please respect copyright.PENANAtMp4KrE2hE
"Beth!" Slate says. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAo25PzVTSYF
162Please respect copyright.PENANA17kO0eyZsC
"Slate, we're all fucking miserable, cold, hungry and tired. We have no food and few medical supplies. Bandages is all we have. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAFdXJTdDJX1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZoUEqBSobw
Let's just accept their help. They could have shot us and they didn't, rather they killed that zombie instead."162Please respect copyright.PENANAFAmKqR7GHl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfQl0jQIL9l
He sighs. "Okay, fine."162Please respect copyright.PENANAxwCveKd8rI
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWoA1VQ5RfS
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAUDz17zyFx5
162Please respect copyright.PENANA50WiF7PoAi
After a few minutes, he returns with everyone and Zekey. They step onto the RV.162Please respect copyright.PENANAEwfebBL53i
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfng9qf9DUx
"Uh, hi everyone! I'm Noah, I used to be a primary school teacher - Kindergarten. This is Lindsey-"162Please respect copyright.PENANAR1kB1jL3ZO
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmjkcwztPXg
"I was a Corrections Officer, troubled youth." Lindsey says quickly.162Please respect copyright.PENANA1klgy601dF

"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAiltJrsHOu1
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIGhxULYuad
"People like me?!" Evenlyn says annoyed. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAKo78PYjFUE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGMATo1xkof

162Please respect copyright.PENANAvuynarZKsK
"I guess you could say that." Slate says. 162Please respect copyright.PENANASCIUr0dcAf

"When did this happen? And when did you escape?"162Please respect copyright.PENANA7x8pRgSMIS

"Last night, we escaped last night. It was unplanned, let's not talk about it."162Please respect copyright.PENANA7XcBhj7erK
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1ODYmVFysT
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAeHuOIYG5j5
162Please respect copyright.PENANAzwX4BFIBWJ
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAYHBuxGkSTl
162Please respect copyright.PENANAYUePzEv9qM
"That is a fire lookout up there you know?" Lindsey points out to Beth. "Okay." She says, not interested in talking. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAeUMyrSCzXg
162Please respect copyright.PENANAluNmj2Y8Xs

162Please respect copyright.PENANAktVbmJM1qt
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANACzTkEp1BPb
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZcBDzwvfrz
"You don't speak to me that way."162Please respect copyright.PENANAxCMRMPVZSN
162Please respect copyright.PENANAq5rDmja5Kf
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAjOaTTMvWrv
162Please respect copyright.PENANAaPQGIzYXgT
The pain barely ever registers, and she realizes everyone can see her cuts. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAsGdV6Lc8qL
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhXnks1SQcO
"Your neck." Evenlyn says.162Please respect copyright.PENANARLS2383cfy
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ2lOjL9mj
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAxnSpgoSO7P
162Please respect copyright.PENANAZi6j94kg06
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANARsFBFUQNwG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoiXZfPz3tE
"They are really messed up." Evelyn says.162Please respect copyright.PENANAvW0D3OkTJ3
162Please respect copyright.PENANApEcBlapUAT
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAvKG8UhX4dE
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhipiGtxX0s
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANA9trLieMPjT
162Please respect copyright.PENANA2hgIpjk1k2
And the others, they will have problems too." Lindsey adds on.162Please respect copyright.PENANAgN49M3oICF
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqVOD02flFO
"We convince them to stay to with us." Noah responds.162Please respect copyright.PENANAFC7103EkBF
162Please respect copyright.PENANASNEDTeI2iq
"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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAMKtxxTj37b
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtZKj4VVXyZ
"I know."162Please respect copyright.PENANADvwOlo8JP4
162Please respect copyright.PENANALF2X0Yi1Bo
"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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAu1NifarNh8
162Please respect copyright.PENANAutcoPkIBsH
Not the same as the bed she just gave up.162Please respect copyright.PENANAeUATggWePY

---162Please respect copyright.PENANAYIMr1JkVJj
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3G4udVrr6D
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANANpXZOU6NeN
162Please respect copyright.PENANAS8iheMhM1e
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.162Please respect copyright.PENANAQfnkQVMzfz
162Please respect copyright.PENANAArZB0Ljh9g
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. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAx7MKzp04M9
162Please respect copyright.PENANAH8s4JGMiYu
Evelyn and Noah notice her, and Noah fills a small bowl for her, cutting his food in half and holds it out to her.162Please respect copyright.PENANAy3qbYlv4gK
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFnluk19rhr
"You sure?" Beth asks. He nods his head and holds the bowl out further to her. 162Please respect copyright.PENANACETLLzLfIn
162Please respect copyright.PENANAF14XSoiY4k
"Thank you." She tells him, taking a seat. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAhW1dDGpLpG
162Please respect copyright.PENANAfawlwoqD3Z
"Can I ask-" Evelyn begins. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAqu3WmlQeWF
162Please respect copyright.PENANAbrhbD44ALL
"I knew that was coming. I tried to kill myself, end of story." Beth snaps, then spoons the food into her mouth. 162Please respect copyright.PENANAwGFbHkfymQ
162Please respect copyright.PENANAWG3VVQhOLU
