Hannah was the one who suggested they get matching tattoos. She had read somewhere in a magazine that it would catch a boy's attention, make him think that you would get noticed for spontaneity. Josh didn't really get it. He'd screwed countless girl's and never noticed whether or not they had ink on their bodies. But hey, maybe Mike was different and noticed shit like that. He followed his little sister into the tattoo parlor and watched her pale at the sight of the sharp needles. He expected her to back out. He did not expect her to turn to him and beg him to get one with her. Damn her puppy eyes. That day they walked out with matching butterfly tattoo's, his on his left shoulder and hers on her right.

A week later, it is all he has left of her.

The Wendigo went to grab him, and he twisted out of its grasp only to freeze at the sight of her right arm. The thing grabs him by the throat, but he manages to choke out, "Hannah!?"

It- She paused before something akin to recognition flashed in her milky eyes and she loosened her grip on him. She ripped his left sleeve off, and he winced when her sharp nails raked over his skin. It stared at his arm before it turned to consider his eyes. It had her eyes. He vaguely heard Mike scream and the thing that used to be Hannah flinched before flinging him roughly over her shoulder, making him lose his breath. He must have been in a state of shock, because the next thing he remembered was being in a cave.

He hears Sam, and Chris' voices, but when he calls for help they laugh at him. Why do you deserve to be saved, Josh? They whispered, and all Josh could do was scream.

He doesn't know how long he's been there. Time is sometimes slow and sometimes fast. He hears screams, flames, and can't do anything. A Wendigo crawls up to him, it's face charred and its limbs weak. Its eyes are familiar, and it rests its head on his lap. He runs his hand through her sparse hair as she moans in pain, his arm pressed against hers. In it's long claws is a bottle of Phenelzine, and a picture of him and his sisters.

Hannah (because he does eventually concede that it is his sister no matter how much wishes it wasn't) brings him squirrels and deer carcasses. He builds a small fire and cooks them till they taste good enough that he won't throw them up or get sick. There are few incidents (Other Wendigo's finding him, only to be torn apart by his sister's claws.), but his condition gets worse and he wonders out into the enemy's territory more than once, only Hannah's impeccable timing stopping him from being eaten alive. Josh waits and waits until she finally brings it up in the form of a cooked plate of some poor soul being held out to him. He doesn't want to eat it, but…. He looks at Beth's desecrated grave and swallows his discomfort. He had already failed her once. What kind of big brother would he be if he did it again? Taking a deep breath, he opens his mouth and places it inside before starting to chew as the thing that was once his sister watches approvingly.

A/N: Sup. So, I can't imagine Josh just eating a la human so quickly. I imagine (in my head-canon) Hannah survived the explosion and went back to Josh. She's also a bit more...Hannah then Wendigo (at least around Josh). So, a semi-happy ending for him, while also keeping with the theme that he's doomed. I apologize for my horrible transition. Review, it makes me feel like someone is really reading this. PM me if you want to talk about anything.
