What if Everything Changed?

What if things were different? The threat is the same, but what if something interesting took place in this story? There are many different stories like this, but I'll tell you my version. It's one of many possibilities, not just from the decisions the friends must make. Everything has changed in this little story. So what will it look like? (Role Reversal AU)(ON HIATUS FOR NOW)

1. The Butterfly Effect

The date was Febuary 2, 2014, and a violent blizzard swirled around the peak of Blackwood Mountain, Canada. Joshua Washington, his twin sisters Hannah and Beth, and their friends Ashley, Chris, Emily, Matt, Mike, and Sam were inside the Washington lodge, sheltered from the storm. It was a break from school, and they were together for their annual Blackwood winter getaway.

But things were not as innocent as they seemed. No, from the stranger prowling outside the cabin, to something inhuman hunting for prey in the woods, even to the seemingly harmless event taking place behind the closed windows, sinister occasions were being sprung into motion without anyone's knowledge.

Just as a tiny butterfly flapping its wings can cause a devastating hurricane weeks later, the actions of the young adults will set a destructive night to happen one year later, where they will determine who will live or die until dawn.

But what if things were different? The threat is the same, but what if something interesting took place in this story?

What if it was not the twins who were pranked? What if was not Sam, but another friend of her's, that must escape the psycho, who has a different identity? What if was not Emily and Matt, but a different couple, that must call for help in the radio tower? What if it was not Chris and Ashley, but two other friends with, instead of a good relationship, a poisonous rivalry, that faces the blade of a saw or the barrel of a gun? What if it was not Mike and Jess, but two people who are just friends, that go to the guest cabin and ends up in a dangerous chase?

Yes, everything would change. So what would it look like?

There are many different stories like this, but I'll tell you my version. It's one of many possibilities, not just from the decisions the friends must make. They'll live, don't worry, but I'll show you some alternative scenes that could have happened if they chose something else. And I apologize if the characters don't act like themselves. They are, after all, in different scenarios than what we have originally seen them in.
