Hey there! I'm a new writer here. I've read so many amazing fanfics, and I'm so excited to try this out for myself!

This story was inspired by Ieatbooksfortea, who is absolutely amazing, you should check her out. She mentioned that she would be up for reading a fanfic in which there were no wendigos and no prank from Josh. And I thought, why not? It actually sounds pretty fun. So in this fic, there is no Stranger (sorry for his fans), Josh did not plan a prank in revenge, and the twins are alive!

Rated T for possible (but not explicit) sex, language, and you know, just in case.

To the three readers that I will have, because this fandom is dying, enjoy!

Beth

The snow fell in huge drifts outside the Lodge's thick walls. It piled up against the large trees and buried the soil. The snow had to be at least three feet deep, by now.

Beth Washington stood just inside the walls, mesmerized by the flying flakes, caught in the moment. She wished this moment could last forever. Among her friends, she was always a nature gal rather than a city girl. But, of course, this moment would inevitably end when one of her friends got into trouble and she had to go kick their asses. Most likely, her naive twin would fall for another dumb prank and then run away to her room to be alone. And then Beth would protect Hannah, because Hannah protected Beth whenever she needed it.

Suddenly coming back to the moment, Beth shivered. There was something about this mountain, something that sent chills up her spine. Maybe it was because they were in a cabin in the woods, or the fact that all her friends constantly behaved like they were in some cheesy teen horror movie.

Whatever it was, it was definitely making Beth uneasy.

Something was about to go very wrong.

After all, who knew what could possibly be out there? Deer-mauling bears? Ouija-board ghosts? Masked maniacal killers? Six feet tall Gollum-looking things with long fangs and blood-stained teeth?

Sam

"Oh my god, I can't believe you actually did this!" Emily murmured.

"Don't you guys think this is a little bit cruel?" Sam whispered harshly, cocking her head.

"Oh, come on, she deserves it," Jess responded.

"It is not her fault Hannah has a huge crush on Mike," Sam broke in.

"Hannah's been making the moves on him… I'm just lookin' out for my girl Em," Jess sniggered, eyes glinting.

"Hey, just because he's class prez doesn't mean he belongs to everyone," Emily smirked, heading towards the main stairs. "Mike is my man."

"Hey, Em," Mike countered, "I'm not anybody's man, okay?"

"Whatever you say, darling!" Em giggled.

"You guys, this is really cruel. It's a schoolgirl crush!" Sam exclaimed.

"Well, Hannah seems to think it's luurve. So, if you don't want to participate, that's fine. But just - just don't tell Han, 'kay?" Jess whispered.

"Are you kidding me?" Sam asked incredulously. She turned to the ones who had remained silent. "Matt? Ash? Are you actually doing this?"

Matt looked down. "Sam -"

"You know what, no, you-you're right, Sam," Ashley interrupted, looking incredibly guilty. She cast her eyes downwards. "You're right, this is stupid, it's-it's mean and stupid and w-we shouldn't be doing it. We're all drunk, we're not thinking right."

"Fine. Suit yourself. You just don't have the guts, huh," Jess snapped. She turned to Matt. "Matt? After all, we do need our cameraman," she flirted, smiling.

Matt looked down again, considering. "No, I'm not doing it," Matt responded, "And you shouldn't either, Jess."

Emily rolled her eyes and turned away, gesturing for Jess and Mike to follow her. "Whatever. Pussies. Hey, come on guys, let's go! I want to see the look on her face."

Sam scoffed. She turned to Matt and Ashley. "So, what do we do? We've gotta stop it," Sam questioned.

"We could split up and look for Hannah," Ashley offered. Matt nodded. "Yeah, I don't see what other choice we've got," he responded.

"Honestly, what a stupid prank," Sam muttered.

Matt sighed. "Yeah, we-we're sorry, Sam."

The three parted ways, calling Hannah's name.

Ashley

Ashley walked around the main level of the Lodge. She was silently cursing herself for agreeing to participate in that stupid prank. Resisting peer pressure was never her strong suit, especially while drunk. Especially while everyone else was drunk around her was drunk.

If only she hadn't agreed to that stupid drinking contest. She had just wanted so badly to impress him.

Ashley hurried down the stairs, shaking her head. She needed to focus on finding Hannah, so she wouldn't get hurt. Ashley had done enough damage already.

As Ash rounded the corner, she spotted Beth, who was still gazing out the window at the swirling snow storm outside. "Beth!" she cried, rushing forward. "Have you seen Hannah?"

Beth cocked her head. "I thought I heard her snooping around in the back, then she muttered something about meeting someone…"

"Shit," Ashley muttered. "Come on, we've gotta find her, quick!"

Beth kept Ashley's quick pace as they hurried towards the guest room. "Ash, what's this all about?"

Ash could hear the worry and uneasiness in her friend's voice. Anxiety crept up her back, inching towards the back of her neck. "The others were planning a prank. They were going to trick Hannah into coming to the guest room, where Mike would lead her on."

Beth shook her head. "Really? And Matt and Sam both agreed to this?" Incredulousness had slipped into her voice, shoving out the worry that had been there before.

Ash lowered her head. "Matt and I were going to help at first," Ashley admitted. "But Sam convinced us not to."

By this time, the pair had reached the guest room. They could hear a low murmur of voices inside.

Hannah

"I got your note," Hannah murmured, closing the bedroom door behind her. She could barely keep the tinge of excitement from her voice.

"Glad you could make it," Mike responded. Mike. Dead-drop handsome, weak-in-the-knees attractive, the guy that almost every girl wanted.

Hannah immediately glanced at her top, hands already reaching for the buttons on her lacy shirt. She'd worn it just for him. She'd been so excited to spend time with him…. Could this really be happening? Finally, had the world decided to pay her a favor?

Mike grinned. "Maybe we should start with a little, you know, ma-"

The door banged open. Hannah whirled around, spotting her seething twin and a cowering Ashley behind her.

"Hey asshole, mind telling me what this is all about?" Beth snarled, directing her frosty words at Mike.

Hannah was horrified. "Beth!" she cried, trying to push her twin away. This can't be happening. Why does the world have to ruin everything? "We were just-"

Sam materialized beside Ashley. "Hannah, hey," she said, reaching for Hannah.

"What-what's going on?" Hannah spun around to face Mike. "Mike?"

She noticed Emily emerging from under the bed and Jessica from behind the closet door, holding a selfie stick. Realization dawned on her, bringing with it waves of hate and anger and hurt.

Sam pulled at Hannah's arm. "Come on, honey, let's get away from these jerks."

Hannah shook her head. "Wha-why?" she asked, staring at Mike.

Sam tugged harder. "Hannah-"

Hannah shook her off. "No! I- Did you- Do you know how much this hurt? What did I do to make you humiliate me, hurt me like this? Did you ever stop to think about what you were doing? You assholes! This- this is bullying! In my house! You-" she pointed at Jess. "You wanted to fucking film me? Did you even think about how this might hurt me?"

Mike stepped forward. "Hannah, I'm sorry-"

"Fuck you, Mike," Hannah interrupted, staring him straight in the eyes. "Fuck you. I never want to see your face again." With that, she spun around, marching towards her own room with as much dignity as she could muster.

Sam caught up to her, holding her hand. Behind them, Han could hear Beth chewing out Mike, Emily, and Jess.

They made it to Hannah's room without Hannah breaking out into tears. She sobbed, wailing, "I'm such an idiot! I'm so dumb!"

"Hannah, I'm so sorry," a voice piped up from the corner. Ashley. "I was - well, me and Matt - we were planning to help those assholes with their half-baked prank. But, Sam convinced us not to. Gosh, it was so stupid. I'm so sorry Han."

Hannah sniffled. "It actually means a lot to me that you guys didn't participate, and it was only those jerks. So, thanks, but… right now I'd really appreciate if you would just… go for now."

Ashley nodded, sniffling in guilt. She darted out of Hannah's room quickly.

Sam looked around at Hannah's room. Despite the fact that Hannah was just about to go into college, her room was still decorated in pink and purple butterflies. Han remembered decorating this room with Sam at the beginning of high school, when they first became best friends.

"Hey!" Sam squealed as Hannah threw a handful of paper butterflies at her. "Cut it out, Han!" she laughed.

"No can do, Sam!" Han giggled, picking up more ammo AKA paper butterflies.

Sam threw up her arms to shield herself, taking cover behind Hannah's huge bed.

"Haha, I'm coming to invade your 'fort!' "

"Never!"

Times were so much simpler then. There were no boys, no drama, just her, Sam, Beth, and Josh.

I never want to see your face again. As much Hannah hated to admit it, that was a complete and utter lie. It was hard for Hannah to go three days without seeing Mike, seeing him smile or laugh or beam.

Sam extended her arms as she sensed another round of sobbing from Hannah. Hannah melted into her best friend's embrace, and they stayed like that for a while, Hannah sobbing and Sam stroking her hair and comforting her.

Hannah had squeezed her eyes shut a while ago, but she could hear the door opening and closing, and Beth padding across the floor. She wrapped her arms around both Hannah and Sam, creating a three person hug.

They stayed like that until dawn.

Annnd roll credits. Haha, I just couldn't help it! So, my thinking was that the people that Han was closer to (Ash, Matt) wouldn't participate so Han might feel better. Also, the fact that people found Hannah before the prank ended might have helped too. I think maybe that would have made Hannah want to spend time with Beth and Sam in her room, rather than outside. So yeah. That's the prologue! Hope you enjoyed!

Just a note, I will be on vacation next week, so there might be a delay, but I'll try to update once a week or at least once every two weeks.
