Deans lifeless body lay on the floor, the blood in his head filled the hole the bullet had left in his head eventually spilling outwards, the house was on fire thanks to Dean. More reanimated were coming from different directions, "Pass me a gun." Alice declared in a more calm tone, Luros passed her a 9mm, "move the guns from the car with no fuel. Some are already in there we need to go." Alice requested. They started transferring the guns and Alice looked around for Reanimated that were getting too close, Kyros dived into the drivers seat after packing up what was almost the last of the boxes,
Zane collapsed to his knees at the front of the house, tears running down his face, Luros watched him stare at the house and remembered.
where is Camilo?

Her head instantly twisted and saw him laying down unconscious just beside the fire, she skidded towards him and picked him up, thrusting him upwards, she sprinted over to the car and sat him down against the car, "This box is annoyingly more heavy. What's in this thing?" Zane rhetorically asked. Alastor  jogged over and helped him carry the box. "That's the last of them!" Alastor  shouted. "Everyone get in!" Kyros shouted not even a full second after. Alastair slid into the middle in the back, followed by Alice in the back left, Zane hopped into the front with Kyros and Luros picked up Camilo and climbed into the car. Kyros started the engine, and then Alice rolled down the window, aimed quietly for a few seconds, and then bang. She shit the box, full to the brim of explosives, sending reanimated limbs flying. She rolled up the window and they drove into the forest, then into the highway, and so on.

Hours later, morning.
The highway was almost completely empty, well, on the side they were on atleast. Kyros sat driving in the middle of the highway, with his arm hanging out of the window, Zane was leaning forwards with his arms folded on the dashboard, and his head resting in his arms asleep. Luros was awake with Camilo's head on her lap, she was leaning against the window gazing out at the cars in the other lanes. Alastor was  asleep with his hands tight in his pockets, and his head laying back. Alice was asleep with her notebook and pen sprawled on her lap by Camilo's feet. Camilo was still unconscious with his head resting on Luros's lap.

Zane's eyes twinkled open and fluttered repeatedly. He looked at the rising sun and asked. "What time is it?" Kyros's eyebrows raised. "Uhh, it's been about 6 hours since we left, you fell asleep last, Luros just before, Camilo was asleep the whole time and Alastor and Alice fell asleep at the same time." He explained. The car went silent for a few seconds. "It's too quiet, put the radio on, wait. It's down," Zane paused and searched the glove compartment, "oh! A CD, time to see what this thing has got." Zane said and inserted the CD. The first song on the list was. "Whip it". "Wow, actually good music," Kyros said, The two nodded their heads and Kyros continued to drive into the distance, Alice woke up a few seconds after the music came on and looked around in a distorted manner, "Oh yeah, the house burned down... and we're in a five person car when there's six of us." She muttered. "Oh I know this." She said after realising the song that was on. They all started singing to it and eventually that turned to screaming, even Luros started to sing along at some point. "What's going on?" Camilo asked waking up. Zane flicked the music volume down and Kyros slowed the car, as Camilo wriggled around a bit Alastor woke up, "oh, we're all up now." Alice said before Alastor could speak. "Well put the music back on, I was liking that." Luros said disturbing the few second silence. Kyros slid the volume and the music came on. And they drove off into the highway

A day later, noon
Kyros continued to drive up the hill, it was equally steep as it was flat, he turned left and the sign said: "mountain visitor centre, welcome!" With Welcome crossed out with "turn back!" But the exclamation mark was still normal. Kyros slowly rolled the car in through along the path and slowed the a diagonal halt, a campsite, empty of Reanimated, but full of tents, "Guys wake up!" Zane shouted to the others. The others stumbled awake and Camilo crawled instant out of the car door, waking Luros, Alastor, and Alice up. Camilo sprawled onto the floor outside, Luros followed and stared at Camilo on the floor before picking him up laughing. Zane exited and stretched, making a loud cracking noise from his back, after everyone was out they each grabbed something from the boot, Camilo was given two 9mm, one as a backup or to give to someone, and the other for himself, Luros grabbed a revolver and stared at the place, she pondered and tried to remember something. Kyros grabbed a rifle and a knife, Zane grabbed two scimitars and sheathed them into the scabbards clipped into his belt. Alice grabbed two silver bras knuckles and slid them onto her fingers. Luros jogged over to the building ahead whilst the others walked over to the tents, she opened the door of the cabin slowly.
