Okay, here Part 3 of Episode 1. And I'm glad people seem to be enjoying it. Writing it is enjoying, but exhausting. I've already reached 100 pages and I'm only on Episode 2 and I'm nowhere near done with Episode 2. I'm expecting it it have at least 3 or four parts.
Anyways, enjoy part 3.
Also, for Disclaimer, check my profile. And also, I have a link to what I roughly imagine Evie would look like in real life as I drew her prior to writing this story. As well as a few others you might want to check out.
(PART 3) EPISODE 1: FRIENDSHIP
"Seriously, couldn't they have built the lodge, like, right where the cable car ends." Emily complained, shuddering at the cold as Matt held the gate open for her.

Matt sighed, picking up both his and Emily's bags. His shook his shoulders, trying to get the strain to lessen some. Matt was glad he wore his custom letter jacket for coming up here. It was really cold and his jacket offered a lot of warmth.
"I don't think it would have been , like, as pretty, you now?" Matt offered.

"And where's the bell boy when you need one?" Emily complained.
Matt shook his head, wondering why she was complaining when she wasn't even carrying any of the bags. He had been the one demoted to pack mule. He liked Emily well enough but sometimes he thought she could be a mega bitch.
Don't get him wrong, Emily had her good moments too, she was vivacious and passionate. She was one of those girls that liked just sitting somewhere together with her significant other and just enjoying the the company. She was extremely intelligent and she was in no way shy or self-conscious. She knew what she wanted and went after it. He liked that about her, a lot, and found those traits extremely alluring. Her being extremely attractive helped too.
On the other hand Emily was a complete narcissist and, well, she often came off as someone who believed she was better than anyone. Matt couldn't stand that about her personality. It always made him extremely irritated when she acted like that.
"Brr…Getting' Chills…"Emily shook.
"We're almost there—" He began, wondering when she got cold. Maybe he should give her his jacket.
Emily cut him off. "No I mean…gettin' kinda creeped out." She corrected.
"Oh. Yeah." He agreed, looking around. This place was pretty creepy.
"Gonna be weird seeing everyone up here again." Emily commented.
Matt agreed. "Definitely not gonna feel like a regular party."
Matt looked up as they walked into a small roof covered bridge, water rushing quickly underneath it. It was definitely old and Matt could see rot starting to set in, likely because the Washington's hadn't been up here in a year.
"I mean, what do you think—"
"RAAAAAAWWRRRRR!" A scream pierced the air and something jumped out from woods.
Matt dropped the bags, screaming and holding up his arms, ready to fight. He could hear Emily's own shrill shriek as she jumped back and was farther behind him. Finally, he focused on the figure in front of them and realized who it was.

"Woah! Dude!" Matt exclaimed, angry as he took in Mike's laughing form.
"JESUS!" Emily cried.
Mike gasped, clapping his hands together and stepping back as he laughed.

"You guys." Mike gasped out, chuckling.
Emily snarled. "MICHAEL!"
"You really, really should have seen your faces." He pointed at them.
Matt growled. "Dude, I almost clocked you just now."
"Nice one." Mike congratulated himself.
"Michael, you're a jerk." Emily said in a matter of fact tone.
Mike frowned, holding out his arms. "Come on guys, we're all friends here right? No need for violence, just a little harmless fun!" He reasoned. "We're out in the woods! It's spooky! Come on, let's get into the spirit of things!"
Matt sighed internally, knowing exactly where this was heading. Emily was about to have a bitch fit.
"The spirit of things? Seriously? What's wrong with you?" Emily questioned condescendingly.
"Just trying to lighten the mood, Em, don't be like that." Mike replied.
"Like what?" She demanded, crossing her arms.
Mike groaned. "The way you're being. You're always like this."
Matt looked between the two and knew he needed to do something or Emily was really going to go off and that was the last thing he wanted right now.
X THREATEN (Back off, Mike)|WELCOME (We're all friends here) X
Choice Chosen: Welcome
Note: From now on, be careful of your choices. Even the most seemingly insignificant choice can have a large impact on the story later on.
"Michael…I'm just going to lay it out, otherwise this whole weekend's gonna suck ass for everyone." He started out. "Um…this is super awkward and we all know it. Let's acknowledge it now and move on. Okay?"
"Matt—"
He winced when he heard the irate tone in Emily's voice but there was no taking it back now.
Mike nodded, tapping his ear. "I hear ya man. I get it, I don't want to make this weird."
"Cool. So we're good?" He inquired.
"All good." Mike replied.
"You guys gonna make out now?" Emily jibed.
Matt rolled his eyes, but saw Mike wrap his arms around his body as he replied, in a fake gay voice, "Oh my God totally we're are sooooo going to make out!" Mike straightened and gave Emily an unimpressed look. "Uh…no. Seriously, I'm gonna go check on the cable car back down the trail. See if Evie had showed up yet. She's next on my list to scare…" Mike chuckled, a playful grin on his face.
Emily huffed, placing a hand on her hip.
"See ya, man." Matt replied quickly, wanting to get him out of there. Mike was going to set Emily off and he was going to be the one to have to deal with it.
"See ya." Mike replied, walking past. "See ya!" He said again.
"Ah crap." He heard Emily say.
"What?" He asked.
"Hey, could you take these the rest of the way?" Emily requested suddenly, leaving Matt bewildered.
"The bags?"
What was he doing before, making them float? He already knew he was going to have to carry these all the way to the lodge. Emily sure as hell wasn't going to risk breaking her manicured nails.
"Yeah, just…all the bags." She said.
"Uh…why?" Matt felt something was off here. He was suspicious.
Emily looked back, a nervous expression appearing on her face. "I need to talk to Sam."
'Sam? What the hell does Sam have to do with anything?' He thought.
"Okay….?"
Emily spoke quickly now. "Sorry I just, I really need to go find her…I totally forgot I needed to talk to here before we got all the why up there."
Matt frowned. "This really can't wait? We're almost there."
"It's important. Matt, please." She insisted.
He couldn't understand why she needed to do this now. It just didn't make sense, especially considering wherever Sam was Evie was likely right there beside her and Emily had never gotten along with Evie. They competed in damn near everything and loved to attack each other—with words—any chance they got. He couldn't list the number of times they had fought or competed over something for some stupid reason.
They just…clashed and Matt was finding it hard to believe that Emily wanted to talk with Sam of all people when Evie would be close by.
Matt really didn't want her going out into the woods by herself but at the same time he didn't want to come off as clingy…
X AGREE (Ok, I'll go)|PERSIST (I'm not leaving you alone) X
Choice Chosen: Persist
"Em…" He began, somewhat hesitant. "I really don't think you should head back down the trail by yourself—"
"Seriously?" She demanded, annoyed.
Matt quickly backtracked. "It's cold out and it's getting dark—"
"You're going to protect me from it being dark out?" Emily asked sarcastically.
Matt sighed. "I'll just leave our stuff here and come with you, nobody's gonna steal it—"
"Matt are you kidding me? You can't leave me alone for FIVE MINUTES? You really think that little of me?"
Why did she always have to twist his words?
"That's not what I meant—"
She cut him off, again. "Why can't you just listen to me?" Matt was wondering why she wouldn't listen to him. "Why do you have to question everything I say?"
"I'm sorry Em, I'm just trying to be helpful." He said, trying to defuse her anger.
"If you want to be helpful then you can help by getting everything up to the lodge as quickly as you can, okay?" Emily ordered.
What the hell was he supposed to say to that.
"Um…okay…fine. Whatever you want. " He relented, picking up the bags.
"Thank you. I'll see you up there after I go find Sam." She said sweetly.
Matt rolled his eyes. Oh now she wanted to be sweet. As long as Emily gets what she wants she's happy, but Matt sure as hell was not happy. There was something about this place that set him on edge and he didn't want Emily going off alone but the Queen Bee ordered it so it shall be done.
"See you in a bit." He muttered, walking toward the lodge as Emily walked back the way they came.

Kinda a Short chapter. Sometimes you'll get these as I split them up, but everyone is important and it's easier for me to keep track of everything this way.
So anyways, what do you think of Emily, Matt, and Mike's first appearances since the prologue. Also, in this story I'm going to try and make Emily not to much of a bitch because it just seems so...wrong. Don't get me wrong I hate Emily and, to a lesser extent, Jessica. They just annoy me but I kinda want people to see some good sides too. With Emily we really don't see it in the game, but I at least want to believe she has her moments where she can be nice.
Sorry, rant over. REVIEW FOR ME!
