Summary:

Sam runs to the woods to find Beth and Hannah. But, when she finds them, it makes everything she was told were true.

It's been half an hour since Beth ran off to find Hannah and none of her two best friends were to be seen. She began to worry. Where are they? Is Beth still looking for Hannah? Did something happened to them? Sam kept starring at the window, looking, hoping, that she would see Beth and Hannah walking out of woods safely, but the only thing she saw were many snowflakes flying left to right repeatedly. Everyone began to worry except a drunk Josh, who was still passed out in the kitchen table. How will Sam tell Josh when he wakes up? It's bad enough that he's suffering from the illness he has. Sam let out a deep sigh before saying,

"I'm going to find them."

"Sam, are you crazy?! You can hardly see anything out there! You'll get lost!" Mike protest.

"It didn't stopped Beth from finding Hannah!" Sam shot back, facing Mike in a serious tone.

"You should stay here where it safe! I'm sure they're on their way." Mike said, his voice with irritation.

"I don't care! I'm going to find them, even if it lasts the whole night!" Sam growls.

"Sam-" Ashley started, but was cut off by Sam running out of the door with her jacket.

"SAM!" Sam heard from behind her but ignoring it, determine to find Hannah and Beth. No one or nothing is going to stop her from finding her bests friends.

"HANNAH!" "BETH?!" "HANNAH, BETH, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"

Sam doesn't know how long she's running, how long she's been calling out Hannah and Beth's name. The cold was starting to get to her but, she ignored it and kept searching. She had to find them. She has to.

"HANNAH!" "BETH!"

The more she kept searching, the more she felt colder from the storm. She hugged herself, trying to keep her warm for a while but sadly doesn't work. She started to think how long she's been searching for them. The others must be calling for help by now. But, her determination encouraged her to continue her search.

"HANNAH!" "BE-!"

She started calling them once again but was cut off by a scream that sounded too familiar. It sounded just like Hannah. With no hesitation, she followed the sound of the scream, hoping she wasn't too late.

Beth held the fine ends of a tree root and her twin sister tightly. Her heart pounding with fear. This is not how she thought her life will end. Suddenly, she saw her and her sister's rescuer, lifting down his hand to pull them up. She was relieved but, soon a realization popped in her head. With the weight she was holding on, Beth knew she had to make a life decision. Either let her twin sister fall for her death or take the risk of letting go and hopefully, grabbing the stranger's hand. She looked down at her sister then back to her rescuer. She didn't know what to do, FUCK!

"HANNAH!" "BETH!" "OH GOD!"

Beth found herself relieved, knowing who the voice belonged to.

"SAM! THANK FUCK!" Beth yelled, relief shown in her voice.

"Don't worry, guys! We're going to help you!" Sam yelled, gesturing a hand to Hannah while the stranger took Beth's. Once the twin's were fully back up the ground, the three best friends crawled into a group hug.

"Thank God you guys are OK!" Sam said, happy to see her friends safe.

"We wouldn't be if you didn't came in time!" Beth replied, hugging her friend and sister tightly.

The moment was broken when a loud shriek was heard. The stranger lifted his flamethrower, ready for what's about to come.

"Stay back, girls! But, whatever you do, DON'T move!" He barked, holding tightly his weapon.

Many animals were running out of the territory while the girls heard shuffles on the trees. Something was coming. The girls, their hearts pounding like mad, held tightly to each other, trying not to move a muscle.

The shuffling began to come closer. Hannah, her hands trembling, held tightly to Sam's arm, same goes to Beth. She gets humiliated by her friends, were her friends, in front of the guy- No, scratch that! BY the guy she had a huge crush, she got lost in the woods without a jacket, chased by some kind of animal, almost had her death experience and now THIS! Everything was so fucked up!

It became silent. Too silent.

"Sam..? Beth...?" Hannah said, facing the her twin and her best friend, her voice full with fear.

"Don't move.." Sam whispered, looking for any signs of movement.

It was still quiet. What could it be? Is this some other terrible prank her friends planned? Hannah shook her head. No way this was another prank! There is something there watching them behind those trees. Her breathe quickened when a rough shuffle was heard in the trees. Suddenly, a pale figure emerged out of the tree-line and skittered towards them at an in-human speed. It stopped, starring at it's next meal.

They wanted to scream but, decided not to because of the chance of getting killed. Hannah bit her lip hard, trying to resist screaming, which earned her a mark on her bottom lip. Hannah felt the creature's milky eyes just starring at her very soul, ready to just take it from her. She knew she wasn't the only one because of the terrified faces of her sister and friend.

Flames were the only thing they saw when the creature were out of their faces and tried to escape the burning sensation. It let out a terrible shriek before it hit the ground. Beth sighed in relief, thinking that their rescuer killed the creature. Oh, was she so wrong.

The creature came back it's feet and growled at the stranger. Their rescuer shot back more flames to have time to talk to the girls.

"Girls, go back to the forest slowly! Stay low. It won't be easy but, trust me! Now, go!"

Slowly, but surely, the group tries to make their way to the forest and go back to the lodge, where it's safe. They were almost at the tree-line when the creature looked at their direction.

Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!

They forced themselves to stay still. Hearts pounding uncontrollably, a tear of a sweat sliding down on Beth's face. The stranger caught that the creature didn't had his full attention anymore. He was ready to shot back more flames when..

SNAP!

Everyone's attention, and the creature's, were on the spot the sound came from. The girls watched in horror on who made that sound.

"Josh.."
