They stopped when they were in front of the ski lodge.

“Is this the ski lodge, you were talking about?” Noah asked

Nick nods his head.

“So, you think your friends are here?”

Nick smiled “If not then, we beated them here. Come on, let's go inside.”

-----------------------------------------------------

They went inside and noticed that the others weren't there.

Nick put his backpack down onto the floor.

“I guess they're not here yet.” Nick said as he sat down on the couch.

“We can wait and rest now.” Noah said with a smile

Nick nods his head and smiles “Also, we have a fireplace and running water.”

Noah's eyes lit up “Running water! Really?”

“Yep.” he said

Noah ran upstairs “I'm gonna go take a shower then! See ya Nick!”

Nick laughed and decides to take a nap.

He closes his eyes and falls asleep.

-----------------------------------------------------

-An hour later -

Nick opens his eyes and saw Noah standing over him.

He jumped a little bit.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.” Noah said

“It's fine.” Nick said as he sat up.

“You fell asleep on the couch?” Noah asked him

Nick nods his head “I was tired…” he said as he got up.

Noah looked at him “Where are you going?” he asked

“I'm gonna go get firewood...we need it if we want to get warm.” Nick said

“Oh ok, just be careful.” Noah said

Nick nods his head and smiled “I will.” he said

Nick grabs the axe that was on the table and goes out the door.

-----------------------------------------------------

-A few minutes later -

He had gotten the firewood and was walking back.

Nick noticed how quiet and peaceful out it is. He knew it wouldn't last long but, he decided to enjoy it.

Nick smelled the air and looked around, he was smiling.

But, his smile faded when he heard voices.

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

He started running and saw two people by a building.

Nick hid behind a tree. They couldn't see him so, he kept looking at them.

They were two guys, they looked younger than him. One of the guys didn't look friendly and the other had a blank expression on his face.

The one with the blank expression had red hair, light blue eyes, and white skin. He was wearing a dark red hoodie with a gray tank top under it and dark gray ripped jeans with red converse.

The other guy who didn't look nice had black hair, brown eyes, and white skin. He was wearing a blue tank top with an unzipped, black jacket and black jeans with blue converse.

Nick couldn't hear them well but, he heard some of the things they were saying.

“Craw, we should go.” The one with the red hoodie said

Craw? That's a weird name.

Nick saw a herd of lurkers heading towards the two guys.

Shit!

The guy named ‘Craw’ ran and climbed onto the roof of the building.

The red hoodie guy tried to get on the roof too but, fell off. He hurt his arm, he was bleeding a lot.

He grabbed his arm.

“Damnit!” he said

The lurkers started to go towards him.

“S-stay away from me!” The guy said as he got out a pistol and aimed it at one of them.

The gun clicked, he dropped the gun and started backing away from them.

“Help me! Craw!” The guy said

But, Craw jumped off the roof and ran away, into the woods.

His eyes widened as he looked at the lurkers again.

“G-get away from me...leave me alone…” he said in a helpless, sad voice.

The guy had tears in his eyes.
