AN. This is an Until Dawn re-imagined story, with Beth as the star of the game. I will go through each chapter, though possibly shortening each by a little bit, interpreting the story in a completely different way. Hope you enjoy!


Josh
Lodge
2:00

Josh looked up from the sink when he saw movement in his peripheral vision. He dropped a plate but into the soapy dish water, hearing a faint clang when it reached the bottom. He, Beth and Hannah had played Rock, Paper Scissors to see who would be the sober one during the party, and much to Josh's dismay, he had pulled a scissors when both Hannah and Beth had pulled Rock.

He had been hanging out with Beth and Sam in the kitchen, while he cleaned up the dishes from dinner. Hannah could be a bit of a neat freak when too many dishes piled up, and Josh didn't want Hannah freaking out when she sobered up the next morning.

"What the fuck..." Josh whispered, having sworn he had just seen a person through the window, out there in the snow. He turned his head, slightly, directing his voice towards Sam and Beth. "Sounds like Mom and Dad were lying and sent a chaperone to watch us, huh? Asshats." He said this lightly. He expected to hear laughter from Beth, and a grunt from Sam, but he heard nothing. He turned fully.

Of course Sam and Beth had passed out. It had been silent for too long, anyway. Beth and Sam were somewhat distant when sober, though still on good terms, but when they were drunk...it was a whole different story. They were best friends, and fairly amusing to watch. That was part of the reason that Josh had opted to hang out with these two, instead of the rest of the group. Jessica and Emily were far too mean spirited for his taste, even after a few drinks. At least Jessica was hot. Josh had a thing for blondes.

He dried his hands on his sweater, and walked over to the island, putting his hand on Beth's shoulder. "Jeez, Beth, you're gonna have one heck of a hangover."

He noticed a piece of paper sitting on the island. That wasn't there before. Nosy as he was, Josh picked it up.

Hannah.
You looked so hot in that shirt, but I bet you'd look even hotter out of it. Meet me in the guest room at 2:00AM.
Mike.

"Son of a bitch..." Josh seethed. Mike had been playing on every single one of Josh's nerves that weekend, but this was the final straw. Not his little sister!

What a dick. Everyone knew that Hannah had a crush on Mike, and sure, even at times Josh would tease her about it, but this was too far. Josh had talked with Mike about this, and knew for a fact that Mike didn't like her, back. But he told Josh that he'd never exploit it. Now that fucker was gonna get it.

Josh angrily speed walked up the stairs, across the landing, through the hall, passed an upset looking Chris and into the guest room. Josh was moving so fast, Chris didn't seem to notice until it was too late.

"The fuck are you try'na do?" Josh asked, throwing the door open.

"Josh? Oh my god..." Hannah said, her shirt half open. Hannah and Mike seemed to be alone. Right in the middle of the prank. Josh realized that right now, he was going to be the root of Hannah's embarrassment. But one by one, each of the little shits showed themself. "Matt? What's going on?!"

Chris opened the door. "Hannah, this was stupid, come on..."

"Hannah, I'm sorry-" Mike began.

Hannah was out of the room in an instant. Josh could hear her whimpering, and heading down the stairs.

"Fuck..." Mike said. Josh took a step forward and pushed him. Mike toppled backwards.

"I'm gonna come back for you, you son of a bitch. Seriously, what the fuck, guys?" He turned around.

"I'm sorry, bro, I tried to stop them," Chris said, trying to calm Josh down. It wasn't going to work, Josh was furious.

"Yeah, but you didn't," Josh said, pushing passed Chris and running after Hannah.

"Hannah!" He shouted. He ran down the stairs. He looked around. He heard the door close. "Shit..." Josh ran to the front door, grabbing a jacket, and heading out. The group was close behind.

"Where is my baby sister going?!" Josh said allowed, using the nickname that Hannah resented and Josh always said behind her back.

"Josh, I swear, I had nothing to do with this," Chris said, putting a hand on Josh's shoulder.

"It was a joke! She didn't have to take it so seriously," Mike said.

"It was just a prank, Han!" Emily said.

"You guys are fucking jerks!" Josh said, beginning to run after Hannah. Who knew how far she was at this point?!

"So...should I go after her?" Josh heard, faintly.

"Y'know, Mike, I think you're the last person she wants to see right now." That was definitely Chris.

Josh followed the footprints and the sound, adrenaline racing through his body as he tried to keep up with her. It was freezing out, and he saw Hannah's jacket hanging next to his on the rack, meaning she was out there without any warmth.

"Hannah!" He yelled, receiving no answer. He kept running, as quickly as he could. He saw a bridge, but jumped down the side instead. Much quicker. Josh knew the mountain pretty well.

He heard something behind him, but he kept moving. It must have just been his anxiety playing tricks on him. It always was, especially when he was the most scared. He was alone. All he needed to focus on was finding Hannah.

"Hannah!" He shouted, louder this time. He heard more footsteps, but a familiar whimper. He followed the voice. It had to be Hannah!

He jumped when he noticed fire up ahead. What in the fuck...? Josh shook his head, putting it aside. He saw a shadow, and followed that as well.

He was scared, going deeper and deeper into the forest. But he had to find Hannah. She'd freeze out here on her own! Hannah may also not be able to find her way back. It was dark out, and Hannah only went into the woods in the spring. She liked the lodge way more. It was always Josh and Beth who went for walks in the woods. Not to mention that he was going to tell Hannah he was going to beat the crap out of Mike. He wanted to comfort her.

More fire. What the hell was going on? Josh couldn't be making that shit up. Why was there so much fire blasting all over the place? Was there a dragon it the woods? Josh rolled his eyes, and continued on.

"Hannah!" He shouted, even if it hadn't helped the last few times. He noticed something in the corner of his eye. A little piece of wood. He picked it up and examined it. Looked like a piece of a totem pole. He dropped it. There was no time to stop, he had to find his baby sister.

He continued on down the path, until he sighed with relief. She was sitting in the snow, hiding her face in her heads. She was shivering. Josh could tell she was upset, but he was just relieved that she was okay.

"Holy fuck, Hannah," He said, taking a step towards her.

"Hello?" She croaked, looking up at Josh. He walked over to her, kneeling down next to her and rubbing her arms up and down, trying to warm them up.

"Jesus, you're as cold as a block of ice," Josh commented. He pulled off his jacket, and wrapped it around Hannah. Tears stained her eyes.

"I'm such an idiot..." Hannah said, shaking violently against the cold wind. "I'm so dumb!"

"No, the asshole Mike is the dumb one," Josh said, wrapping an arm around Hannah's shoulder and beginning to lead her home. "I'll beat the crap out of him when I get back there."

"No..." Hannah said. "It was my fault. I should've known. There was no way he ever would have liked me..."

"Fuck that!" Josh said. "It wasn't your fault. This has Jessica written all over it."

Hannah jumped, when they heard a sound. Josh's breath caught in his throat. That had been the sound that Josh had been hearing the whole way there. He thought he was imagining it, but Hannah had just heard it, too. Meaning that it was real...

"What was that...?" Hannah asked, looking up at Josh for an answer. He didn't have one to give.

"I don't know..." Josh said. He took a deep breathe. "C'mon, Hannah, we've gotta get back to the-"

A monster jumped in front of them. A long, spindly spider like creature. It looked almost like a zombie, with glazed over white eyes. It was horrible. It screeched at them. Josh's heart jumped into his throat.

"HOLY SHIT!" He said, pushing Hannah back to give her a head start, and they took off running. His heart was racing. He was panting, with tears threatening to pour from his eyes. Not even in his nightmares had he imagined something like that. Not even when Josh was seeing things. And he was the one who liked Horror Movies!

They began to cross a bridge. Hannah tripped, and let out a yelp. Josh ran back, helping her up. He didn't even realize that his phone fell out of his pocket.

"Come on, we've gotta keep moving!" Josh said. Hannah was visibly crying, and if they didn't hurry, Josh soon would be, too. He couldn't let his baby sister see that, now could he?

Josh looked around, as they were moving, but realized that there was no where else to move. They were backed up to the edge of a cliff.

"Oh, shit..." Josh said, tears finally streaming down his face. Hannah grabbed his hand. Josh squeezed it, getting a good grip on it. The monster neared. There was no where else to go. This was it.

Without thinking, Josh took a step back. He slipped, taking Hannah down with him. They both screamed. But somehow, and Josh wasn't even sure how he did it, but he had grabbed hold of a ledge. His hand was slipping and he didn't have a good grip on it. But he had a better grip of Hannah, and as long as he was holding on to his little sister's hand, he'd make sure to keep her safe.

"Hold on!" Josh shouted. "Don't you dare let go!"

Fire erupted from the top. Josh's head was spinning to fast to even consider what was happening in front of him. This was all to much for him.

Suddenly, a masked man was looking down from the ledge. He was scary, and Josh was too afraid to take any chances. All he could sense was danger.

"I'm sorry," Josh said, letting go of the ledge, sending him and Hannah spiraling to their demise, into the dark cavern. Josh's back was broken with one big THUNK! and his neck was broken, with another.

Hannah hit the ground hard, too, her arm breaking was a loud CRACK! She didn't dare move. Everything hurt. All sense of anything was over clouded by the pain she felt all over her body. She laid still for a few seconds, before passing out.

Hannah
Abandoned Cavern
4:14

When Hannah woke up, it was extremely dark, but Hannah still managed to see well enough to get a good look at her surroundings. For a second, she forgot about everything that she had just gone through. It was a blissful second, that unfortunately didn't last long.

"Josh!" Hannah shouted. She crawled over to her big brother, who was lying down not to far from where she had fallen. She tried to move her left arm. Searing pain flowed through her whole body. Hannah let out a scream, which echoed through the cavern. She took a deep breath, taking a second to get her wits about her, before using her right arm. She shook Josh.

"Josh, wake up," She said. Josh didn't move. "Josh, get up! We've gotta get out of here, that thing might come back!" Josh didn't respond. She noticed that his eyes were still open. Why wasn't he responding, than?!

A spark of realization filled Hannah's body, before dread took over. "No..." She whispered. "Fuck no!" She shook Josh more violently. "Fuck no! Say it isn't true! Get up, Josh! Josh, get up! Josh!" Hot tears began viciously rolling down her cheeks, making her whole face wet. "Josh! Please! Josh, don't leave me! God, don't leave me!" Her words turned into nothing but incoherent wails, as she continued to shake her big brother's body. She gave up within ten minutes, and lay her head against his chest, and sobbed.

Hannah was alone, in a dark cavern, with a broken arm, and her brother's dead body.


AN. The next chapter will be from the POV of Sam, and go along the same storyline as the Game, just with replacing Josh with Beth, with several twists and story changes.

Thanks for reading!
