A/N: So I've finally decided to write my own Until Dawn story. I figured it was about time since I'm currently reading over sixty fanfics about UD. So, I might be obsessed, but I hope you like this unique version of Until Dawn. This story will follow the basic plot that someone dies and the group meets up next year and shit hits the fan, except Hannah & Beth, are alive and Josh may not be the killer. There are also some other changes, but I won't get into those just yet. I only have one pairing I want to be together, so if there is a certain pair you want together, I'll see what I can do. I'm also thinking about continuing this story past the game, so tell me if you like that idea.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but Lilly and the changes to the plot.

366 Days Until Dawn

It was supposed to be a great weekend. Just him, Josh and his sisters and their cousin, Lilly Washington, but Hannah had to invite Mike. Then Mike invited Emily, who invited Jess, who then invited Matt. That's when Chris knew it was going to be a bad weekend; especially since Sam couldn't be there because of a trip she was taking with her little brother.

It was just before two am when Chris regained consciousness. He had a killer headache, which he knew was going to last until tomorrow. He was really regretting all the shots he had taken. Josh was passed out across from him, seemed like he deiced to use beer as a distraction from the horrible party as well. Neither of them could stand Emily's bitchiness and Jessica's sex talk for long.

He felt someone place a hand on his should. He turned to face Lilly, Josh's twenty-five-year-old cousin. She handed Chris and glass of water along with some pills, which he took right away.

"Hey Lilly, where is everyone?" He asked noticing none of his friends were in the area, besides his drinking buddy.

"Hannah said she had to go 'prepare' for something, while Beth went to the bathroom and the others are upstairs. Now you finish that glass of water and head back to sleep. There's a reason I was sent here to babysit all of you." The raven-haired girl ruffled Chris' hair and started making herself some popcorn.

By the time she was done, the boy she considered her fourth cousin was passed out again. Beth walked back into the kitchen and started staring out the window. Lilly moved to the living room and put on a movie.

About five minutes later Lilly heard Beth shouting her name. Lilly ran towards the front door where the five teens were gathered.

"It's just a prank, Han!" Emily called into the forest the surrounded the cabin.

"What the hell happened?"

"We were just joking around. We didn't know she'd run out into the forest!" Jess said defensively.

"All of you stay here, no one leaves. I'm going to find Hannah and bring her back, got it."

"Maybe I should come with you," Beth said trying to be brave. Lilly looked at Hannah's twin. "No, it's too dangerous for all of us to go." Lilly then turned around and ran after Hannah.

Blackwood Mountain was a dangerous place to get lost in the daytime, let alone in the middle of a snowstorm at night. Lilly could barely breath as she followed the trail Hannah had left her.

After running for what felt like hours, but in all actually had only been a few minutes, Lilly found Hannah sitting in a clearing. The nineteen-year-old looked lost and hurt and it broke Lilly's heart to see her that way. Lilly loved all her cousins, but always felt the most protective of Hannah.

Lilly slipped off her coat and wrapped it around the middle Washington child. Hannah smiled appreciatively and hugged the coat to her body. Lilly helped Hannah to her feet and they were just about to leave when the heard an inhuman scream.

Hannah jumped and held on her older cousin. The screech came again only this time it was closer than before. Lilly remembered the stores the natives of the area used to tell, back before her aunt and uncle bought the mountain. Fearing the worst, Lilly knew what she had to do, protect Hannah.

"L-l-Lilly what was that?" Hannah tried to act brave, but her voice gave her away. "Han, listen to me. I need you do exactly as I say-" Another screech, louder and closer than before, " I need you to stand completely still and not make a sound, while I distracted it, then once it sounds far away, run towards the cabin."

"But-"

"No buts, Hannah May Washington! Just do as I say! I love you." Lilly hugged her cousin then started yelling towards where the screeches were coming from.

"Hey! Over here!" Another loud screech was heard and Lilly began running.

Lilly was glad at that moment that she had done all those years of track. As she ran through the forest, branches tore away at her clothing and scratched her skin, but Lilly barely registered this as she ran away from the thing chasing her.

All the sudden flames exploded in front of her. "What the fuck?" but Lilly kept running. All the sudden Lilly found herself face to face with a cliff.

"You had a good run…"

Lilly's bloodcurdling scream seemed to kick Hannah into action. Hannah ran through the woods and didn't stop until she ran into the cabin.

Everyone flanked her at once.

"Are you okay?"

"You shouldn't have taken it that hard!"

"Thank God you are alright."

"Look, she's fine, can I go to bed now?"

"Guys give her space!"

"Where's Lilly?"

Everyone looked over to a now awake Chris and Josh. Chris repeated his question. "Where's Lilly?"

Hannah only had one answer.

"Dead."

For the next twenty-four hours, the group's life was hell. Police came in and out, they were questioned for hours and everyone looked at them as if it was their fault. The only bright spot was that Sam had managed to get an early flight, so she could come see them. No one spoke to each other, not a single word. Chris didn't try to make a joke, Emily didn't bitch about how annoying the police were, Josh didn't make a movie reference, everyone was just silent as if they were at a funeral. Even Sam kept quite, only answering when the police wanted her to.

Soon they were told they could go home. The police hadn't found a body, but they had ruled out the group as suspects, they had not, however, ruled out foul play.

Each teen walked like zombies to each of their parent's cars and was silent on the way home. Each of them had decided that this was the worst night of their lives. Sadly they were mistaken.

A/N: Most of you are probably wondering where Ashley is and I'll get there in the next chapter or so. In this story, Ashley wasn't friends with the group yet, so she didn't go. Since she didn't go, she couldn't have begged Sam to go. Since Sam wasn't going, Mr. & Mrs. Washington wanted Lilly to go. Boom! Butterfly effect. Every little thing is going to change the story. Next chapter will deal with the aftermath. For the actual game part, there will be a few time jumps, because I plan on keeping the Wendigos and most of the stuff they do, so I probably won't write a chapter about things that are the same in the game, but I'll have the characters talk about them briefly, so you won't miss out.
