Disclaimer: I don't own the Balto or Until Dawn series except for characters of my own.

Note: Hey, I really hope you guys are enjoying my chapters on my story's. Makes me feel proud. Like I accomplished something in my life. But yeah, hope you guys enjoy. Also, I have a good reason why I didn't post this chapter weeks ago. It's because, I had it done, but when I'm ready to post it, most of the work was erased on word and I got pissed and destroyed my room, yes I was that mad. This may be the worst thing that ever happened to me. New update, yada yada. Enjoy!

Warning: There are spoilers from the Until Dawn game. I should have said this from many chapters and it makes me feel guilty that I don't show that spoiler alert. If you haven't played Until Dawn. I'd suggest playing it, or watch a youtuber of your choice, but anyway continue at your risk.

Chapter 9: The Totems

7:00 P.M.

Jenna and Darwin were moving planks out of there way so they could get through the tunnels a little easily. Darwin had such a dirty face, and Jenna had the same, but her bandana was torn up a little. Darwin saw a lamp on a rotten desk. Darwin ran over, Jenna slowly followed. Darwin pulled out some matches. He stole some in his house for the picnic he and Rosy were having.

"God, please work." Darwin said. Darwin lit the matches, he lit the lamp and made himself light. He smiled and picked the lamp up to shine where he was going. Jenna followed. Darwin continued down the mines. Darwin had no clue what he was walking into until he tripped. Almost breaking the lamp, Jenna hoists Darwin back on his feet. Darwin looks down on what he tripped on. It was mining tracks. "Tracks?" Darwin said to himself. Darwin shined down to see where the tracks led. He saw how far the tracks were going. He followed them, Jenna followed as well. Darwin kept walking and felt a shine in his eye. Like a mirror was reflecting the sun on your eye.

Darwin walked up a little closer. It was a Totem. A Black Totem. Darwin found it a little strange that there was a Totem in the mines. He saw a piece of paper next to it. When he picked it up, it wasn't any ordinary paper. It was like a clothe. It had some wording to it. Darwin read what it said. It said.

Totem's that reveal the future in five different elements.

Black: The Totem that shows the death in the near future. (Death Totem)

Yellow: The Totem that shows Guidance to advice you in the near future. (Guidance Totem)

Brown: The Totem that shows the loss of a friend or family that will affect someone, or maybe you in the near future. (Loss Totem)

Red: The Totem that shows the dangers of an up coming event. (Danger Totem)

White: The Totem that shows a piece of fortune that you could become. (Fortune Totem)

Darwin thought it could be super helpful to know, so he hung onto it. He than picked up the Totem. It was Black, so it only meant Death. He turned it around. He looked real close to it. Jenna tried to look real hard to see a certain part to the future as well. Soon they were both pulled into the Totem. They couldn't see themselves, but they could see an image of the future.

Black Totem 1 of 4 . . .

Darwin has blood dripping out of his mouth, this is Darwin in the future. The Wendigo showed his face and picked him up, the Wendigo's sharp fingers hoisting the poor child up, the thing throws Darwin at the door of the barn. Someone takes a peek and cries in shock. Rosy comes over. Darwin had no weapons when fighting the Wendigo.

Present . . .

Darwin and Jenna backed away. Darwin dropped the Totem. He was breathing heavily. Jenna came to him and wrapped her head around him to comfort him. Darwin thought to himself, I didn't have a weapon, if I had no protection, I die. Good to know.

Darwin got up. He picked up the lamp and kept going. Jenna followed. Darwin saw a light shining at him. He felt a hint of the wind blowing onto him. He ran towards the light and stopped to see what he ran into. It was some kind of scaffolding. Held by poles and boards. Their was a radio in one of the radio towers. Darwin had no clue if the scaffolding was to old and broke that all of it would just collapse. Jenna caught up, she whimpered a bit.

"I know girl, it's scary, but it's look in that shack or go back." Darwin said. "From what I saw in that Totem, I don't want to find out what's waiting for us."

Darwin took his first step on the board. It felt sturdy enough for him. Jenna followed. They slowly walked together to the shack. Jenna looked down and saw that very long way down, she swallowed her screams and kept going. Darwin and Jenna have arrived at the door of the shack, they looked in the tiny house.

"It's short." Darwin said. "Weird, they made a shack for miners. They must've made it for a radio station, but failed miserably."

Darwin walked up the desk next to the bed. He cleared space with all the candy bar wrappers and water bottles and soda cans everywhere. He looked at a radio. It was short, but he was at least glad to have a way of contacting help. He turned on the power button, nothing happened.

"Shit! How do I turn it on?" Darwin wondered. He looked around and saw no way, when he left the desk, he wondered and moved some stuff around saw nothing. He looked out the window and saw from a far distance on the scaffolding a generator. Darwin laid his head on the window and let out a heavy sigh. "Why didn't we spot this earlier?" Darwin crouched for Jenna to tell her what she needs to know. "I'll be quick, I doubt this is where my death is, but I don't want to take any chances. I hope I can find a pipe or some type of weapon if I'm going to go out there and turn stuff on."

Darwin exited the shed, Jenna stayed behind. Darwin looked around to see if any of, whatever they call it are around. Darwin was so nervous. Hand shaking and sweating, by now the wind and snow would be freezing the sweat into ice. Darwin was real close to the generator. He got to the controls. Opened the door or the generator and saw some buttons.

"Dammit, couldn't they just put a turn on button instead of shading all the buttons gray." Darwin thought to himself. He pressed a few buttons, he thinks he turned it on, but it wasn't running well because their is a belt missing to the generator that helps make it run. "Where is it?" He looked around. He thinks he spotted it, he see's a belt in an old duffle bag. He looks through. He spots the belt and a few supplies in the bag. He held onto the bag. He went back to the generator and setted up the belt. It started running again. Lights started turning on. Darwin was happy. He walked back to the shack. Something from up the mountain was spying on them. Glowing eyes faded away.

Darwin dropped the bag, he looked in and saw some water and food. Enough to last a week. But they aren't sure if this would last a week or not.

"Two bags of jerky, five energy bars, three full bottles of water, and a blanket." Darwin checked. He also spotted a flash light, he turned it on and shined another totem that was in the bag. "Another one, it's yellow. I think that's good." He looked directly at it.

Yellow Totem 1 of 4 . . .

Darwin has a pocket knife in his hands. It has the camo of roses on it. He pulls the blade up and tightens the grip. He runs to the shed.

Present . . .

Darwin tossed the Totem. He thinks with the death totem he saw, he can prevent that by having a pocket knife, he wasn't sure how that would make anything better. He got up and sat on the bed, he took the blanket and called Jenna up on the bed. He rapped the blanket over Jenna and himself, so both of them would keep warmth. Darwin and Jenna weren't sure how they were going to handle the situation with the creatures and being up in a mountain in a crappy scaffolding with mine tracks and a shack, but they'll figure something out. Darwin has a plan.

To be continued . . .

Note: I hope you enjoyed. I think it's funny when in the game when they look at the Totems they don't react to them as much. Anyway I hope you enjoyed. This chapter was a nightmare to write.
