Hey guys.

Welcome to another chapter of Trapped Until Dawn: After Hours. This will be the first chapter that is about the actual choices Ryan and Will made throughout the game. How this will work is I'll first show you what lead up to the choice and what choice they made in the "canon" story, then I'll show you what could've happened if they made a different choice, whether it's one or more alternate options or actions.

By the way, I suggest you guys go re-read chapters 1-6 in Trapped Until Dawn; I have changed and updated them to be better. There will be choices in the next two chapters that weren't in the original. Anyway, let's start with:

Rats with bushy tails – Cable car station, 21:14

Will gets the chance to shoot a rifle at a shooting range by the cable car station. A squirrel appears on the range. Should William shoot it or leave it alone?

"Canon" choice and consequences: Will chose not to shoot the squirrel; Nature remained in balance.

What could've happened:

I could show how cool I am by shooting this squirrel, shooting a moving target would be impressive,but that might not go down well with Sam or Ryan and I don't want to overshadow Ryan's achievement. I could also just not shoot it too and leave the living animal be.

It would be cool to see what would happen. I thought as I took aim and fired. It hit its mark, making a big hole in the left side of the squirrel's face. It had no left eye and was bleeding all over the barrel. (Butterfly Effect)

"Whoa. Cool." I said.

"Hey, nice one Will." Chris said, giving me a high five.

"Will! What the hell?!" Ryan said.

"What are you doing!? How could you do that? Will that was SO f'ed up." Sam said shocked.

"What?" I said.

"That poor little guy was alive about ten seconds ago." Sam said.

"Oh come on… Squirrels are just rats with bushy tails. Chris said.

"I cannot believe you just did that." Sam said, starting to walk away. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a crow descended down and attacked Sam, clawing at her with its talons. (Butterfly Effect Update)

(Sam) "Oh my god! What is that?! Get it away!" (Will) "What the Fuck!?" (Chris) "Holy crap! Look out!" Sam, Chris and I shouted as she was clawed at.

"Jesus are you okay?" Chris said as Sam examined the claw marks on her right temple.

"This mountain is freaking me out already." Sam said.

"Hey look, our cable car is coming." I said, noticing the cable car slowing moving its way down towards us.

"Let's catch our ride." Chris said as we made our way back towards the cable car station door.

"What was that about?" Ryan asked me as we walked.

"I don't know. It's as if nature went crazy because I shot the squirrel." I said.

"Well, let's make sure we don't kill anymore animals, shall we?" Ryan said as we got to the door.

Butterfly Effect: Will shot the squirrel; Nature bit back: a bird attacked Sam.

Monking Around – Basement, 22:52

There's a strange noise coming from the end of the basement. Should William investigate it on his own or investigate it with Sam and Josh by his side.

"Canon" choice and consequences: Will decided to face the 'danger' on his own; He attacked his 'attacker' who turned out to be Chris; He gave him a bloody lip and black eye.

What could've happened:

Who knows what could be back there. I could go and check it out on my own but that could mean that I could get hurt, but I could stay and let Sam and Josh go with me but they could get hurt.

"We should go check it out." I said, staying by Sam and Josh (Butterfly Effect).

"I was thinking the same thing." Sam agreed.

"Why?" Josh asked as we started to edge towards the end of the corridor.

"I dunno, what if it's like, a pipe that's about to burst or some problem with the furnace?" Sam questioned.

"Unlikely." Josh said.

"Wow, you put a lot of faith in these systems, don't you?" I said.

"If it were me I wouldn't want this place to burn down on my watch." Sam said as we slowly shimmied closer.

Based on a totem I've seen, let's hope not. I thought, recalling a totem that sent shivers down my spine.

"…Yeah. Right." Josh said, taking the lead, only to fall behind Sam as we got to the end of the room.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a guy in a monk outfit and a hockey mask jumped out from around the corner and scared the life out of us.

"AHHH!" We all shouted as we run back the way we came in terror, me first because I was the farthest back (Butterfly Effect Update).

"WHOA!" Josh screamed as we ran towards the stairs while the guy chased us.

"WHAT THE HELL-!?" Sam said as we ran. She managed to grab a board and make it fall, blocking the path of the guy and making him trip and stumble over, slowing him down. We got to the top of the stairs and Sam tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge.

"Oh come ON now why are these doors locked?!" Sam shouted.

"To keep out strangers!" Josh shouted back as the guy came up the stairs, but stopped right in front of us, which I thought was weird. I also noticed he had taken his mask off.

"Hey!" The guy said in a smooth voice, which made me confused.

"What?" Sam said befuddled.

"Hey!" The guy said again.

"..WHAT THE HELL!?" Sam said angrily.

"Boom! You just got monked!" The guy said as he pulled down his hood to reveal FUCKING CHRIS!

(Sam) "WHAT!" (Will) "CHRIS?!" Sam and I shouted at the same time.

"Nice. Nice one. That was good." I heard Josh said sounding impress by Chris' prank.

"Why w... Why would you do that?" Sam said annoyed.

"There's all this cool old movie crap down here. What… was I… was I not supposed to not take advantage of the opportunity?" Chris said like he did nothing wrong.

"Are you… Are you serious?" Sam said.

"Dude, you scared me half to death. If I had been in front, I might have clocked you one." I said putting my hand on my heart.

"Were you in on this putz?" Sam said angrily, pushing Josh in the arm.

"Nope, but I wish I was! That was too good." Josh said as they high-fived and we went back through the door to the main lodge.

"I'm ready to admit that your dumb little prank may have had a slight whiff of humor to it." Sam said as we walked through the door from the basement.

"Jokemaster!" Chris said.

"I said nothing about jokes. I said your prank, which was dumb-" Sam said as we walked up the stairs to the living room.

"Holy crap, you were scared. Admit it." Josh said as he put the flashlight in the side and followed us upstairs.

"I was not!" Sam said defensively.

"Then why did you run away from Chris. If you weren't scared, you would've stood your ground." I said smugly.

"Hey, you ran too!" Sam retorted.

"Yeah, but I was in the back, and unlike you, I actually admitted I was scared." I retorted back.

"Come on, you were totally pissing yourself." Josh said.

"Josh! Will!" Sam shouted as we got to the top of the stairs.

"What... in God's name... are you wearing?" Ashley said to Chris as she walked over to us.

"I have found my true calling." Chris said jokingly, making a cross sign with his hands in front of her.

"Please tell me you're going to take a vow of silence." Ash said putting her hands together like she was praying. Chris make mouth motions like he was talking but no sound was coming out.

"Okay okay. Did you at least find the thingy?" Ash laughed referring to the spirit board.

Butterfly Effect: Will decided to stay with Sam and Josh; He ran from his 'attacker' who turned out to be Chris.

I'm sorry this is such a short chapter but I think the next choice will take up a whole chapter, and I don't want this chapter to be too long, and I needed to get something out.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. If you did, give this story a follow and a favourite, and leave a review if you have anything to say. It will help me create better stories in the future.
