Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Until Dawn or the game or story. All rights go to Supermassive Games. IF I owned this game...I don't what I'd do, but it'd be great. All I own is the plot, the storyline, and any OC who may show up within the story, so please enjoy and as always please leave positive reviews only! I don't have a PS4, but I watched YouTubers like DashieGames RunJDRun, PewdiePie, and GhostRobo, and I fell in love with this game. The story was immersive, the characters were amazing and had feeling (except Emily, she was a total bitch). Also, the only two characters that are not added in this story are Emily and Matt. I can't stand Emily's character because she was a total ass, and Matt I thought was a total whimp for not standing up agaist Emily when she was pushing him around. So, please, let me know if I should continue!

Previously on Until Dawn: Beyond Isolation - "Joshua, who are you trying to fool, hmm? You are an attention seeking psychopath who hunted your sisters down and murdered them in cold blood!" "No…" Josh said in horror as tears now blurred his vision. "no…I-I wouldn't…" The doctor smiled again and held the needle up for Josh to see through his blurry vision and said, "This will help you forget what you did to them, to your friends, that's what you want isn't it?"

"Please, just leave me alone!" "You let us die!" Finally, Josh snapped his head up and immediately regretted it as the sight of his sister's greeted him. They stood there, looking down at him with a sneer knitted onto their already decaying features, their bodies beginning to decompose. "You're not real!" Josh cried out hysterically, his eyes frantically looking anywhere but at the girls. "Josh," Beth crouched down next to her brother. "You let us die, you killed us, and you're nothing but a coward-" "Shut up!"

It was Hannah's laughing beside him that made Josh flinch away in fear as he scrabbled on his hands and knees over to the drawers that were there. Anything to get away from the twins. "No one can save you, Josh," she said while her head twisted to look at him better. "Not even Sam."

Josh's breathing grew frantic again as he looked around and noticed a small blue bottle on the table near his bed and made a slight run for it, with what use of his legs he had left. Grabbing the bottle, his eyes scanned over it. Possible side effects listed as Hallucinations, paralysis, seizures, light-headiness, weakness of all muscle movements, numbness, trouble concentrating, nightmares, blurred vision, headaches, ringing in the ears and drowsy or dizziness.

This stuff is supposed to be banned. He thought. Why would the Doctor give me something like this? He shook his head to clear it as he opened the cap of the bottle and popped two pills into his hand. He was desperate for a way out. Desperate to sleep forever. Anything to stop the pain...

NOW...

Chapter 2 - Phobias

Chris fished out his cell phone from the pocket of his jacket and checked the time on it. It was 2:20pm, and he was supposed to be at the hospital by 2:30 to see Josh. Hurrary up Ashley. He thought growing more and more irritated. How long does it take a girl to get dressed for? He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes. He was about to nod off when a sudden growling noise woke him back up. He snapped his eyes open and looked around drawing in shaky breaths to calm himself.

"Hey!" He snapped his head around to see Ashley banging on the passenger side window, wearing jeans, and a purple tee-shirt, with a white jacket, and a purple and blue beanie over her long red hair. Chris drew in several deep breaths and unlocked the car allowing her to get in. "Sorry it took me a long time, Sam was helping me find the right outfit." She said with soft smile that suddenly faded when she saw his face. "Are you okay?"

Chris drew in a deep breath and slowly exhaled as he nodded. "I'm okay." He replied shakily as Ashley touched his shoulder. "You look like you've seen a ghost." Chris's body shook as he drew in several more deep breaths trying to calm himself down as Ashley looked at him with concerned green eyes. "Is it because of what happened last year?" Chris slowly nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, but the thought of being back there - back at the Washington lodge was traumatizing for everyone. Even Ashley knew it. It was a horrible night that none of them wanted to relieve.

"It's okay to be scared." she replied softly. "I still have nightmares about the whole thing." She admitted with a cold shiver of fear. Chris looked at her and placed a comforting hand gently on her shoulder. "Ash, I know your still traumatized over what happened okay? we all are. That's still no reason to keep blaming Josh on what happened." "Chris, he put us through hell!" Ashley cried out with her green eyes growing wide with terror. "All those horrible tricks he played on us, and the whole pretending to be a psycho just to scare us-"

"It wasn't him." Chris said gently cutting her off before she became hysterical. "He was off his medication, and the timing was pretty bad enough with us all being back up there on the anniversery of Hannah and Beth's-" Suddenly he stopped and immediatly grew quiet as they both just sat there in the blue mustang with a dead air of silence hanging in the air. "What do you mean he was off his medication?" Ashley finally asked after a few moments of silence as Chris let out a deep sigh and looked at her.

"I've known Josh since we were kids, and all I can say is that, when he was taking his meds he seemed more mellow and at ease then when he was off them. After the event happened with Hannah and Beth missing, Josh became very depressed and was seeing a psychologist regularily and was prescribed with some anti-depressents to help him overcome what was going on." Chris explained in a sorrowful tone. "Before everything went down last year, I'm not sure how or why but he stopped taking his meds, which is what led him to having his mental breakdown."

"So he's been taking antidepressents since he was a kid?" Ashley asked running her fingers along the length of her silky red hair. Chris nodded and continued to explain, "There was an insident at school one time where another kid was making fun of Hannah becasue of her glasses, and kept teasing her and teasing her, so Josh had finally had enough and took out a switchblade he had gotten from his father and-

Ashley gasped and put her hand up to her mouth. "Oh my god! He stabbed another kid?" "No." Chris said reassuringly. "He didn't stab the kid, he just threatened him, but then later we found out that the kid had made a cut on himself and put fake blood on it to make it look like Josh had sliced him with the blade. The incident made his parents go mad with rage, and so that's where the psychologist came into to play and that's why he's been taking medication ever since then."

Ashley looked shocked and a little hurt as she softly replied, "I had no idea. No wonder why he did everything. It wasn't just about us and what happened to Hannah was it?" Chris shook his head. "I think that because of what happened with Hannah and Beth and finding out about the prank, it made him a flashback to the kid at school and it drove him mad to the brink of almost insanity." "Poor Josh." Ashley murmured softly.

Once again there was a round of dead silence between them where neither of them said another word to each other, until the sound of a knock on the passanger side window made Ashley jump and shriek in fright as they both turned and noticed Sam standing there in a crimson red hoodie jacket, and grey capri yoga pants. The same outfit she had worn last year. Her long blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and she looked slightly alarmed as Chris unlocked the car, and Ashley let her into the passanger seat, while she got into the backseat behind her.

"You guys okay? what happened to you?" Chris shook his head and turned the keys in the mustang. "It's nothing." He said looking at up her as the car engine rumbled. "We're late for our time to see Josh, but hopefully they'll still let us see him though. Visiting hours aren't over until 5 I think." Sam nodded and just sat back in her seat as they drove down the street as Ashley took out the directions to the psych ward she had written out on a map.

"Any word from Mike or Jess?" Sam asked as she looked back behind her at Ashley. Ashley looked up from the map and shook her head. "No word at all from them." "Guess their not coming to see Josh then." Sam said softly with a hint of sorrow. "I still can't believe his parents checked him into the hospital, even after everything that happened."

Neither Chris or Ashley replied as they kept on driving down the road while Ashley guided them with her map toward the hospital. I hope you're okay Josh. Sam thought. Lying back in the seat as the car rumbled underneath her, she closed her eyes, as her only thoughts and feelings of concern and worry turned toward Josh.

TOO BE CONTINUED...What exactly is going on with the survivors? Are being threatened by unforseen events from what happened before? Will they get there in time to see Josh? Tune in to the next chapter to find out. Hope you enjoyed and as always please review. Chapter 3 will be coming soon...
