Hey guys! So, I've been thinking about writing this for a while, and I've finally decided to just do it.

This story will feature an OC, and there will also be some changes made to the story of Until Dawn, that aren't caused by the OC, so watch out for that.

Alex switched his gaze from Beth, who was currently looking out the window, observing the snowy night, to the kitchen door, as the rest of the group talked in hushed voices outside the room. He knew they were planning something, and in their drunken state, he feared what shenanigans they were up to.

He looked at Josh, and Chris, passed out on the kitchen counter, from drinking too much. He had always been surprised at how much alcohol the two could drink, before finally passing out. They definitely outdrank everybody else in the group. Even dear Mr. Class President, Michael.

„Wasn't it supposed to be just us this weekend?" He heard Beth say, and he looked back to her. She was beautiful, as always. Her dark, brown eyes displayed confusion, as she looked at him. His eyes scanned the window, showing the outside of the lodge, but he saw nothing.

„Yeah, did you see somebody out there?" He asked, concerned. He doubted anyone was out there, but if Beth saw somebody, that could mean trouble. There wasn't supposed to be anyone else up there, just them.

Suddenly, Alex heard footsteps, running outside the door, straight to the main entrance. The footsteps were followed by more, this time though, there were much more of them.

Alex and Beth looked at each other, and it seemed they both thought the same thing. Beth ran over to Josh, while Alex ran over to Chris. The two of them tried waking up the other two, but it seemed like it was no use.

Beth was the first to give up. She ran out, and Alex followed her. Beth took her coat, and put it on as she ran to the entrance of the lodge.

As Alex ran after her, not bothering to search for his coat, since he had last put it in the bathroom. He saw everybody standing in front of the building, yelling out into the cold night.

„It was just a prank, Han'!" Emily yelled out in an uncaring voice. Alex stopped dead in his tracks as he heard this. He should have known they would pull a prank of some sort, but for Hannah to appearently just run out into the woods on this snowy, freezing night, it must have been one hell of a 'prank'.

Beth ran out the door.

„What did you do?!" She asked, sounding incredibly pissed off. Rightfully so. He thought, they honestly deserved being yelled at, and a whole lot more.

„We were just messing around, Beth.. It wasn't serious-" Mike tried to tell her, but she wouldn't have any of it.

„You jerks!" She yelled as she started running for the woods. Alex ran out after her.

„Alex, stop!" He heard Sam call out after him, but he couldn't. He couldn't stop, not when his girlfriend and her sister had just run out of the lodge, into the cold, dangerous woods of Blackwood Mountain.

„Beth!" He yelled out to her as he ran through the forest, seeing Beth running ahead of him, about to reach some kind of small drop. He picked up his speed, and was only a short distance away from her, when she suddenly jumped down. She didn't seem to notice him behind her as she ran.

Alex jumped down from the wooden platform, landing on the ground with a soft 'thud'. He started running after Beth again, trying to catch up to her. He was fast, in fact, he was one of the fastest guys in the whole school, but out here, everytime he came close to Beth, something happened to keep them apart.

At one point, he had to stop running for what felt like way too long to pick her trail up again, because of some stupid animals confusing him. He hoped that the distraction didn't slow him down too much, however, when he heard a scream.

It didn't sound human. It didn't sound like any animal he had ever heard, it was high-pitched, ear piercing. It sounded like it was in pain, that much he could tell.

He didn't know what the source of it was, but that would soon change. Alex stopped when he reached a cliff.

He gasped in horror at the sight. There was some kind of tall, thin creature walking to the edge of the cliff, where he could see a man, wearing some kind of mask, holding a flamethrower. The man began spraying the horrible creature with fire, as Alex heard a voice, that sounded strangely similar to Beth's, calling out for help

He ran to the edge of the cliff, careful not to get anywhere near man and creature, and he looked down. There, he saw Beth holding onto a tree branch, her eyes shut, with tears falling from her eyes.

„Beth! Oh, thank god you're ok!" He called out to her, relieved to see her, seemingly unhurt.

Her eyes opened when she heard him, and she looked up at him, relief washing over her.

She reached her free hand out, and he grabbed it, just as the branch she was holding onto snapped. Alex almost fell, but he caught himself, and he pulled her up as fast as he could.

Beth put her hands on the ground and breathed heavily. She looked up at Alex, and saw him looking at the creature. It was looking at them with a look of pure anger, and hatred. Before the creature could do anything to them, though, The Stranger resumed attacking it, unleashing flames of fire at the ungodly sight before them.

„Run, get the hell out of here!" The Man yelled out to them, and they did not hesitate to obey him. They ran as fast as they could, sprinting out of there, back in the direction of the lodge.

Only when they were far enough that they could only hear the screams of the creature, did they stop to catch their breath. Beth launched herself in Alex's arms, and began explaining what had happened before he reached her.

Beth pulled Hannah along as they ran. She just hoped they wouldn't reach a dead end, and that they could get back to the lodge, back to safety.

Her hopes, however, were shattered when they reached a cliff. There was no way out of here, except the one they had come from. That was off limits, though, as Beth turned and almost screamed when she saw some kind of creature, jumping out from the forest. It stared at them as they slowly backed up.

The next few seconds were a blur to Beth. She saw a man, running out of the forest, and she was pulled down. Hannah had backed up way too much, slipping from the edge of the cliff.

Before they could both fall to their deaths, Beth grabbed a branch that was underneath the edge, and she held on for as long as she could.

Beth looked down at her sister in tears, and saw her sister's face, she was afraid, terrified of what was happening.

„It'll be okay, Hannah! We'll get out of this, both of us!" She yelled out to her sister, who shook her head.

„No, Beth! We'll both fall, Y- You.. You have to let me go!" Hannah pleaded with her sister, who stared back in horror, unable to say a word „Please, Beth! I don't want to d- die, but you can't hold both of us!"

Beth was horrified. She couldn't lose her sister, she couldn't just let her fall. She shook her head.

„No! I won't let you die, Hannah!"

Hannah shook her head again, and she began to loosen her grip on Beth's wrist. Beth tried to get a hold of Hannah, but she couldn't, and she could only scream as the tips of Hannah's fingers brushed against her own, and Hannah fell from her grasp.

As Alex listened to Beth, tears began to fall from his eyes, and when Beth finished, he was full on crying.

„It's all my fault! I didn't reach them in time.. I should have stopped this goddamn 'prank' before it even started!"

But he didn't have time to think about that, because he suddenly began to feel the familiar effects of adrenaline wearing off, and appearently, so did Beth. He felt her slump in his arms.

„Shit! She probably passed out from the cold!" He thought to himself, as he pulled her up into his arms, and began to run as fast as he could, while carrying Beth.

His head was starting to spin, his vision slightly blurring. The cold was getting to him, and the two of them would surely die out here, if he didn't get back to the lodge.

He made his way through the thick forest, trying to follow his own footprints in the snow, until he could finally see the faint outline of the Washington Lodge. He was staggering now, struggling to keep moving.

If he didn't make it, that would mean that Hannah's sacrifice would be in vain, it would be for nothing.

He told himself this, as his mind fought for consciousness. There was so much snow, he thought he would trip, fall, and lose any chance of survival. The lodge was so close now, that he could see two figures standing at the front door, wearing thick jackets, waiting for the.. three.. of them to get back.

He somehow managed to make his way to the front door of the lodge, where Sam, and Chris waited.

Chris was surprisingly full of energy, even though only a few minutes ago, he had been passed out in the kitchen, with Josh.

Probably an effect of fear, and concern for him and the twins. The moment Alex was near enough for the two to see him, their looks of concern changed to those of horror, as they saw him carrying an unconscious Beth in his arms, his skin deathly pale.

„What the hell happened?!" Chris asked as Alex ran inside the lodge, trying to get to the living room, where the fireplace was, as fast as possible. He ran into the room, and seeing the fireplace lit, he hurriedly laid Beth down on the couch.

Alex slumped down on the floor, next to the couch, as he heard everybody rush into the room, asking him where Hannah was, and what happened to him and Beth.

He wanted to answer them. He wanted so hard, to tell everybody that Hannah was out there, that there was still a small chance that she could be alive. However, he began to feel his consciousness slip away, and he fought against it.

He tried as hard as he could to speak, but only incoherent sounds came out of his mouth. Finally, the last bit of consciousness he had left slipped away completely, and his vision turned to black.

~Until We Meet Again~

He awoke a few hours later, and he could see that he was now in his upstairs bedroom. At first, he couldn't quite remember what had happened before he passed out, just that he had felt panic. Slowly, the memories returned to him.

He got up from his bed immediately, and ran out of his room. The hall was buzzing with sound from downstairs, and talking could be heard. Alex, however, didn't care what was going on downstairs, he needed to check on Beth, he just hoped that she was in her room.

He made his way over to Beth's room. When he reached it, he softly knocked on it. When the door didn't open, he felt panic wash over him, and he was about to turn and run downstairs, when the door shot open.

Beth was standing there, looking confused. When their eyes locked, relief washed over her face. She hugged him tightly, sobbing a little. He hugged her back, relieved to see that she was okay.

They stayed that way for several moments, until Beth finally broke the hug, and looked at the ground sadly.

„Hannah.. She's g- gone." She stuttered out, looking at the ground, tears threatening to fall out of her eyes.

„I know.. I'm so, so sorry Beth." He replied back, feeling furious at himself for not being able to get to them in time, not being able to save Hannah. Beth looked back at him in shock.

„Alex, it's not your fault! You couldn't have possibly gotten to us faster than you had. You saved me!" Beth told him, trying to get him to realize that he wasn't responsible for what happened.

Alex pulled Beth into another hug, and they stayed that way, standing in the hall until the talking downstairs decreased into only a few words, and eventually, all of the sounds stopped completely, leaving the lodge in a solemn silence.

The two had just gone through a horrible experience, one that nobody should ever have to go through. Beth had lost her sister. There was, of course, still a chance that Hannah was alive, but it was slim.

After what felt like hours, the two broke apart, and walked downstairs. They both knew that Beth was holding her sadness, and anguish in, and most likely break down later, but before that happened, they had to see the others.

The group was there. They could see some Police Officers outside, probably waiting for the two of them to wake up, and tell them what had happened.

Josh was the first to see them, and when he did, he ran over and hugged Beth, and he refused to let her go. Alex walked over to the rest of the group, who apologized profusely for the 'prank' that they had pulled.

But, Alex didn't blame them. True, they had humiliated Hannah, and it caused her to run out of the lodge, but it wasn't their intention for Hannah to do that, and Alex didn't think they should be blamed for it.

The Police Officers came in, and asked Beth and Alex questions on what had happened to them in the forest.

The two of them didn't mention the creature they had seen, they both knew they would sound like lunatics. They made up a story on how they were attacked by a bear, and thankfully, the officers seemed to believe them.

They told the police officers that Hannah had fallen into the mines, and they had sent out a search party for her.

The only thing they found was a trail of blood leading from where Hannah had fallen, away, into the mines.
