Hey guys.
Welcome to the first chapter of Trapped Until Dawn: After Hours. This is a side story to my first story, Trapped Until Dawn (If this is the first time you are hearing about this then go read my other story first before this if you are interested.), where you will see what could've happened in Ryan and Will's adventure in Until Dawn. You'll mostly see what would've happened if Ryan and Will have had made different choices throughout the night, and maybe some other special things as well.
Let's begin.
William's pov, Old Hotel, 3:09
I awoke from my forced sleep to find myself tied to a chair by my hands and ankles, in a very dark room. There was a sliver of light that shone on another chair that had Chris sat in and tied to it with a table that looked like it had something on it that I couldn't see. On the other side of that table I could see Ash tied to another chair, both still in their slumber. I also saw some saws (no pun intended) above their heads, ready to cut them open like they did Josh.
"Chris?! Ash?! Come on wake up! Please!" I shouted to them, while I tried to struggle desperately to get out of the ties to the chair to no avail.
Suddenly, I heard groaning and grunting coming from Chris and Ash. Looks like there waking up.
"Ohh. Shit... Oh crap..." Chris said.
"Oh Chris, thank god you're awake." I said to him
"Oh Will. Ash? ASH! Shit, I'm going to murder his fucking face off" Chris said, chuckling at that remark as Chris started to struggle and I noticed that one of Chris's hands wasn't tied to the chair he was tied to unlike me and Ash.
"What is this?..." Ash said starting to cry.
(Chris) "This is him. This is the guy who killed Josh -" (Ashley) " No, Chris... Oh my god no! Oh god... Chris" (Chris) "You murdering piece of shit! You monster!" (Will) "Let us go you bastard!"
(Ashley) "Look around! We're gonna die Chris! - I don't think I'm ready to die..." All of us said at around about the same time in that order.
"No-one is going to die" Chris said.
"I wish I could tell you... It's just not fair!" Ashley said, screaming and grunting.
"What?... Tell me what?"
"It's too late! Chris, what's the point?!"
"Stop it, just say..."
"We're always talking around it, and now, I mean, we've wasted everything!"
"Ashley... None of it was wasted."
"What do you mean?"
"Every second that I spent with you was the only thing I ever wanted to do with my time."
"What are you saying, Chris?"
"I'm sorry... I should have told you how I felt."
"Chris...!"
"Ashley, I swear, when we get out of this-" he said but was interrupted by the sudden start of the saw blades above.
"Oh god" Chris said while Ash shouted.
(Ashley) "No! Help!" (Chris) "Ashley- I'll get you out of this! I won't let you die!" Chris and Ash said at the same time all while they struggled for their lives and I struggle to get free to save them to no more avail then before.
"Hello there my special little subjects" We heard the psycho from the speakers around the room.
(Ashley) "I'm so scared, Chris-" (Chris) "Aw shit. Don't be scared -" Chris and Ash said as he picked up the object on the table which turned out to be a gun.
(Psycho) "Oh, you should be, Ash, because here's the twist: Chris has made one fatal choice already today," (Ashley) "Oh no... No..." (Psycho) "and now he must make another. Chris... you can take that gun in front of you and shoot Ashley, or you can shoot yourself. Whoever is left, can live! The choice is yours." The Psycho explained while Ash sobbed in her chair and as the saws grow ever closer.
Chris held the gun upwards and tried to shoot the saws to stop them but they still continued to blare and lower.
"Don't be so silly, Chris" The Psycho sniggered as Chris struggled to make this decision.
"Wait a second..." I said to myself as I remembered a totem I saw earlier.
I saw Chris holding a gun and another person on the other side of him but I couldn't see who it was. Chris put the gun that he was holding down on the table between him and the other person.
Now I know who that other person was and why this totem was so important. Now I intend to stop Chris from shooting anyone, but I looked at Chris to notice that he already had the gun to his head ready to shoot with Ash trying to persuade him not to.
"...Let me choose to save you! If I do one last thing in my life let me do this! Chris, please, oh god." Ash pleaded, sobbing still.
"Chris, you don't have to do that! Just put. The gun. Down." I exclaimed.
"Are you CRAZY?! We'll both die if I do that!" Chris proclaimed.
"Just TRUST me!"
"But-"
"Just. Trust. Me." I finally said with the most trusting and confident look I could muster as the saws sunk even lower.
He looked like he was mulling over his options but he eventually gave in and carefully put the gun on the table.
"Chris, what are you doing?!" Ash screamed.
"Trusting in the person who tried to save me." Chris said as the saw got dangerously close to their heads. (Butterfly effect update X2)
"NOOO!" Ash let out an ear-piercing screech as I closed my eyes, half expecting to hear saws cutting through bone and blood splatting everywhere just like Josh. But that wasn't the case, far from it. Instead, I heard the sound of the saw blade turning off and I instantly opened my eyes.
"Ha! I know it!" I said loudly while Chris looked astonished and Ash looked like she was about to faint.
"Wow. You were right. How did you know the blades would stop?" Chris asked.
"Just my intuition." I lied.
Suddenly, there was a bang on both the left side and right side of me. On my right was a single door that had swung open to find, to my surprise, Sam and Mike on the other side, coming to our rescue us. On my left was some double doors that slammed open to reveal the psycho in all his menacing glory.
"Noo! No no no! Get away!" Ashley screams as he inched forward towards the pair of his experiment, completely ignoring me.
"Get away from them, you bastard. You've tortured us enough." I shouted as Chris started unloading bullets on him but they seemed to do nothing.
"Oh Chris... Oh Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris." The psycho said.
"What the fuck?!" Chris said confused.
"Oh you've heard of blanks before? I mean really?" The psycho continued, earning a confused look from everyone in the room.
Then something really strange happened. The psycho reached his hands up towards his mask and started to pull it off. And the person behind the mask was...
..."JOSH?!"
And that's what it would've been like if Will hadn't of figured out what was happening on the mountain. I hope you enjoyed that, even if it was short, but it's only the first chapter, there is more to come in the near future. I'll try and upload quicker that I did for Trapped Until Dawn but I'm not making any promises.
Let me know what you think by review so it can help me improve. Also, let me know what you want to see, if you are an old fan of Trapped Until Dawn, I'll see what I can do.
Bye guys.
