Hi, everyone! This is my first Until Dawn Fanfic, so i hope you like it! I'm going to tell the story from everyone's point of view. I hope to update two or three times a week, so let's see how it goes! Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter One

*Chris POV*

I can't believe that we made it. We're alive. I can't stop thinking about Josh. Mike said that the Wendigo...Hannah...got him. He was my best friend. Now he's gone. The rest of us are alive, but just barely. Jessica is the worst out of everyone, though. She has scratches and cuts all over her body. Sitting beside her is Mike. He has a few cuts, but not near as much as her. Matt and Emily are relatively ok, except for Emily's bite and a few scratches. Sam just seems empty. Lastly, Ashley. Her black eye looks painful. It angers me to know that Josh hit her. I swear I'll never let anything like this happen to her again.

"Chris?"

I get pulled out of my thoughts by hearing her voice.

"Yeah?"

"How's your ankle?"

I had totally forgotten about my injuries. I've been too focused on everyone else's.

"Now that you mention it, it still hurts quite a lot. But I'll be ok. How's your eye?"

"Sore, but I'll live. Which is something I'm thankful to be able to say."

She's right. We could've died tonight. We almost died tonight. But we didn't. None of us did…except Josh. Before I could respond, the door to the interrogation room opened, and Sam stepped out followed by an officer. The officer looked at us with sympathy on his face.

"Now that your injuries have been checked out and your interviews are complete, you can go home. I recommend that you consult your usual physician for your injuries if you feel that further evaluation is necessary. I also suggest you look into psychologists or psychiatrists as well. Have a safe trip home. There is a bus stop about two blocks down the road."

Wordlessly, we all make our way to the door and down the street.

Luckily, it is still early in the morning, so no one has gotten on the bus yet. So, no strange looks, other than the bus driver as we paid the fare. We took our seats and settled in for the long ride home.

A couple of hours later and we are finally back home. How will our parents react when we explain what happened? As we got off the bus, we parted ways. Mike and Jessica made their way down one way, Sam, Emily, and Matt went another, and Ashley and I walked together. We all live in different parts of the city, though not far from one another. Ashley and I live a few houses down from one another, which is something I've always enjoyed. She grabs my hand and squeezes it as we walk. I notice she's shivering. I forgot that she left her winter coat at the cabin until now. I took off my jacket and wrapped it around her. She smiled up at me, then spoke.

"Thank you, Chris. I'm glad you're ok. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you."

I couldn't help but smile back.

"You know I'd do anything to keep you safe, Ash."

As we neared her house, I began to feel scared. I didn't want to let her go. I walked her to her front door and hugged her tight.

"Text me after you get settled in and explain what happened to your parents, ok?"

"I will. Stay safe walking home. Here's your coat. Thanks again for letting me wear it, even though you were cold the whole walk back."

I leaned in and kissed her before she opened her door and went inside. A smile spreads across my face as I walk home and I can't help but doing the fist pump from The Breakfast Club. I don't even care if my ankle is shooting pains up my leg as i walk or if the bruise on my head is giving me a headache. I kissed Ashley! I initiated a kiss with the girl that I've had a crush on since freshman year when she moved here. As I turn the doorknob to my front door, I realize that I'll have to explain the events of last night to my parents, reliving every detail. I stop smiling as I enter the house, beginning to feel the exhaustion and anxiety setting in.

As soon as I close the door my parents are in the hallway, looking worriedly at me. My mother pulled me into a bear hug.

"Oh, honey, we're so glad you're safe! We got a call from the police saying that there was an event that happened with you and your friends at Josh's cabin. All they said was that you were ok and said that you should be the one to tell us what happened. How is everyone else? Are they ok? What happened?"

My dad put a hand on my mom's shoulder.

"Dear, stop bombarding him with questions. He'll tell us everything, won't you, son? Come on, let's go sit in the living room and talk."

My mother let me go and we walked into the living room. Here we go. I sat down on the couch with my parents, took a deep breath, and began retelling the events of the most horrific night I've ever spent on Mount Washington.

"Oh, honey! I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that!"

When I finished, both my mom and I were in tears. My dad had a worried and empathetic expression on his face.

"And they didn't find Josh? I'm sorry, Chris. If I could go through all of that for you, you know I would in a heartbeat."

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, but I'll deal with that later. I began to collect myself and turned to my dad.

"No, they didn't. I wonder how everyone else is doing. I barely got any injuries compared to some of the others… I think I'm gonna go to sleep, considering I didn't get any last night. Thanks for caring about me, you guys. I love you." I hugged my parents and started up the stairs to my room, hearing them both say "I love you" back. When I got to my room, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at the text. It was from Ashley.

-My parents didn't take what happened to well, but were very understanding. I'm going to go to sleep soon. They also are glad that we finally kissed xD Goodnight, Chris

I type up a quick response before I put my phone on the charger, take off my glasses, and go the sleep as well.

-I'm glad :p Same with my parents, too. I'll talk to you later, Ash. Goodnight

And with that, I was out.
