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!

Jessica

Previously on Until Dawn: Beyond Isolation - "We here?" She asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as Mike slowly nodded in response. "Sam called while you were asleep, she and the others can't get to Josh. Something about him being locked in solitary confinement or some shit like that." "So what do we do?" She asked as Mike cut the engine. " I mean if he's locked away in solitary confinement it's probably for a good reason right? I mean look at what he put us all through last year."

"It's not over," He said breathing slowly. "The nightmare is far from over Jess. The wendigo's are still out there." "So what do we do?" She asked in a soft voice as Mike shook his head and looked around to make sure no one else had heard the commotion. "I don't know." He replied taking in a shallow breath of fear.

"He's awake doctor." The woman with red hair said over her shoulder. Chills of fear ran down Josh's spine as he caught sight of Doctor Hill now holding a long needle in one hand and in the other held the same blue bottle that Josh had seen earlier by his bedside. "What do you plan on doing to me now?" Josh asked his voice horse and weak as the doctor prepared to inject the needle into his skin. "Don't worry Josh, soon things will be all better for you." Doctor Hill replied. "Now just relax and let the medication do it's job."

When he woke up next, this time instead of just seeing Mike, this time it was both him and Chris. "Oh god no." Josh whimpered. "Please just make the nightmares stop." His eyes filled with tears as he noticed the caliber hand gun in Mike's uninjured hand and realized now as the tears began to stream down his face. This is it. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna fucking die. "Guys!" Josh cried out trying to get their attention as they both narrowed his eyes at him in anger. "Guys come on...seriously, this is crazy you know?" "Shut up." Mike's voice came out hard and cold as Josh flinched in fear afraid of getting hurt again.

"Why did ya hit her man?!" Chris asked his voice full of anger as he narrowed his eyes at his former best friend. "Why'd you have to fucking hit her?!" Before Josh could respond another burst of pain shot through him causing him to cry out in pain as Chris punched him hard across the face. "What are you talking about?" Josh asked starting to taste blood in his mouth now. "You punched Ashley you piece of shit!" Chris yelled out angrily as flashbacks filled up Josh's head and he now realized what exaclty Chris was talking about. Was this really the end? He swore he had made up with his friends for all that had happened last year, but then again, it had almost been a year since then and none of them had come to see him since he had gotten locked up. Was it possible they still hated him for everything?

"Please, if your going to kill me, just get it over with already." Josh pleaded as tears blurred his already screwed up vision. "Please just do it already." "What's the point in that?" Chris asked as Josh flinched in fear. "We're gonna teach you a lesson first bro." The eeariness of Chris's voice started to change to almost menacing as Josh tried to fight off the hallucinations but each time a round of pain was absorbed into his body, the more he began to fight less and less, until finally he had stopped fighting all together. "What's the matter bro?" Chris's menacing voice asked as he grabbed ahold of Josh's face as he forced him to look at him. "Aren't you gonna fight back? huh?" Josh managed to shake his head weakly and a burst of pain shot through his shoulder as Mike managed to use the butt of the gun he held in his hand to bring it down upon the old injury causing Josh to scream out in pain.

"Oh, did I hurt you?" Mike asked in a sarcastic tone as he punched Josh hard in the stomach causing him to let out a weak cry of agony. "What? Did you feel a little bit of pain just now? Good." Another burst of pain shot through Josh's body as tears blurred his vision and ran down his cheeks. "Please, stop." He begged as he tried not to cry. "Please just stop." Another burst of pain shot through Josh's body and he fought the urge not to pass out again.

"Please guys." He begged in desperation. "Please just stop. I can't take it anymore. Please!" It was beginning to become too much for his already fragile mind to take. He knew that what the versions of his friends were nothing but illusions, but even now as flashbacks from last year shot through his mind when they had found out he had done everything to them, a twinge of guilt now began to grow inside him. This is it. He thought miserably as shot after shot of pain was laced into his body. I did this to them. I'm the one that got my sisters killed, I'm the one the reason why my parents never paid any attention to me, and I'm that put them all through hell. I deserve to die. Please god just end it all right now. Just take me now and end my suffering.

NOW...

Chapter 8 - Violence

Memories and flashbacks played out throughout Josh's memories as he began to drift in and out of conciousness, even the painful ones about his family that his friends didn't know about. His first memory was when he was about eight years old. He was home alone with his father, while his mother took Hannah and Beth, who were seven at the time, to the store to gather some things up for their family trip up to the mountain lodge. Josh was upstairs in his room playing video games while his father was on the couch watching the news with a bottle of beer in one hand and the TV remote in his other hand. Suddenly just as Josh was about to beat the last level on his game, he heard his father's voice calling out his name. "Joshua! Get down here!" Setting down the controller, he got up from the floor of his room and walked down the stairs toward the living room, where he found his father still sitting on the couch where he had last seen him an hour ago when his mother and sister's left.

"Get me another beer from the fridge." Bob ordered in a drunken voice as Josh nodded. He went to the fridge and grabbed bottle of beer, but just as he turned around to carry the beer back to his father, his eyes fell upon a piece of paper on the nearby kitchen counter. With curiousity flowing through him, he walked over toward the paper and looked at it. It was then that he had realized upon examination that his father had been fired from his job, which would explain his actions as far as drinking went and his abuse toward his mother. "Josh!" His father bellowed from the living room which made him jump, causing the bottle to slip from his hand and shatter to the floor.

"What the hell was that?!" Josh's body shook in fear and for a second his mind went blank as he heard the sound of his father getting up from the couch and walking toward the kitchen. Josh's heart began to pound in his chest as fear took a hold of him. His father's brown eyes narrowed in anger as he cast his eyes on the mess and the next thing Josh felt was a hard slap to his face. "Insignificnt little brat!" He roared in anger. "Cant you do anything right?!" Josh scrambled around to get away from his father, and all the while tried to wake himself up. "Wake up!" He kept screaming at himself over and over. "Wake up! Wake up!"

By the time Jessica and Mike met up with Sam, Chris and Ashley, they could already sense that something strange was going on by the look in Sam's brown eyes. "What's up?" Mike asked noticing the look in the blonde tomboy's eyes as she shrugged her shoulders. "They haven't told us anything yet if that's what you mean." Chris answered. "I feel like it's all our fault." Ashley murmured quietly as Sam groaned. "Ashley, will you please stop feeling sorry for what happened okay? it happened. Wether we like it or not it happened. Josh being here is our fault okay? So just fucking drop it." Everyone all looked at Sam as though she had lost her mind. "Sorry." She shrugged sheepishly.

"Okay, so anyone have an idea as to how were going to do this exactly?" Mike asked as Jessica nudged him on the arm and looked at him. "Are you out of your fucking mind?" She asked glaring at her boyfriend streight in the eye. "Josh is a psychopath Michael, and your telling me you want to-" Mike held up a hand a stop her from ranting and raging any further then nessisary and gently whispered in her ear, "I know what Josh put us all through was horrible Jess okay? but that's no reason to keep condeming him for the rest of his life isn't it?" Jessica opened her mouth to continue, but her boyfriend stopped her and continued, "Hannah and Beth are dead because of us and our stupid fucking prank, which you were head of if I recall, so just leave it alone alright? We promised we'd do this for Josh right?" Jessica bit back her tongue but never the less nodded in agreement.

All five of them stood silently still for a second not saying a word, until a sudden burst of high pitched wailing startled around them. Wincing in pain as they covered their ears, they could now see several people in white scrubs running down the hall with a middle aged man running in front of the rest of them yelling out, "Code Blue! Code Blue! Patient down in the Solitary room!" Chris looked at the rest of the group. "Isn't Code Blue bad?" Ashley asked over the noise turning to Chris who nodded in agreement. "It can be." He replied back still wincing from the loud noise. "I just hope it's not Josh." Sam nodded in agreement and called out over the noise, "Well then if it is or isn't, we have to be sure now Come on, We have to move!"

"Cant you do anything right?!" His father's voice roared painfully in his head, echoing like a giant. "Your worthless! your nothing!" Josh continued to try and escape his father's drunken wrath, but soon his body became too ridled with pain to even make the atempt to move. "I ask you to one simple task, and you can't even perform that right!" The words stung through Josh's body almost like his father was jaming him with a knife. Each time he tried to draw in a breath he automatically felt it rush out him. It was as though a train was running over his lungs and soon black spots filled his vision. Blow after blow, he felt his father's fists against him and all the while his breathing quickened as he fought the urge not to pass out. "Wake up! He kept screaming at himself over and over. "Wake up! Wake the the fuck up!"

Sam, Chris, Ashley, Mike and Jessica all made their way down the hallway follwing the men in white scrubs. The sound above seemed to grow with each passing second, followed ubruptly by the sounds of inhuman shrieking which caused them all to freeze dead in their tracks. "What the fuck was that?" Ashley whispered in terror. Jessica's blue eyes darted wildly around the room her body trembled in absolute fear as the memory of her horrible nightmare that she had relieved as well as the hallucination of the horrible creature that had nearly ended not just hers, but all of their lives came flodding back, and as she now saw a pair of milkey white dead eyes staring at her, she let out a high pitched scream. At this point everyone flinched and turned towards her as Mike grabbed ahold of her in atempt to keep her calm. "Easy Jess!" He cried out while gently shaking her shoulders. "Your going to get us caught!" "You there! Hold it right there!" Chris turned his head to see the same middle aged man they had seen before now strolling toward them. "Too late for that." He whispered leaning toward Sam as Sam nodded in response.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is no place for children. This is a mental institution. Please leave." Sam looked the man up and down as a shiver of fear immediatly ran down her spine. There was something off about this guy, but she couldn't quite figure it out. His hair was grey and balding, his eyes were green, and he wore a black-striped tie, as well as a white pinstriped button-up shirt with a grey vest. "Who are you?" Sam asked ignoring the shivers of fear running down her spine. "I am Dr. Alan Hill." He introduced. "The Psychologist who's been put in charge of helping those who cannot help themselves." Chris's body began to shake slightly in terror, and despite the quivering nerve of fear in his voice he asked, "Does that mean that your in charge of helping Josh too?" Dr. Hill nodded and with an unusual gleam in his green eyes asked, "What would you want to know about him for?" "Because he's our friend, and we just want to make sure he's okay." Sam blurted out. "Friend?" Dr. Hill asked eying each one of them coldly. "You say your all his friends? Clearly that doesn't seem to be the case in that since you haven't been to see him in over a year. Why would you want to see him now?"

Everyone suddenly grew quiet as the alarm above their heads ceased and all noise seemed to abruptly stop at a halt. Everyone all turned to look at one another unsure of how to adress the situation when Dr. Hill just shook his head and replied, "You know what? let's just forget about that alright? Come on now I'll take you to see your friend, but you must not stay for too long, he'll need his rest after his latest episode." "Episode?" Ashley's voice asked with a squeak of terror. "Don't worry, he should be no threat to you now." Dr. Hill replied as he motioned for them to follow him. They all followed the doctor down a long hallway that seemed to go on forever, with Jessica hanging back away from the group. Her blue eyes scanned around for some sort of sign for those creatures again. Her body shook in fear and she flinched as she felt a hand touch her shoulder and nearly let out a scream as she turned around to find Mike holding her by the arm. "Easy Jess easy." He said gently. "Nothing is going to happen to us okay? We're here for Josh remember?" Jessica nodded but hearing Mike's words didn't help to soothe her anxiety and fear.

As Dr. Hill led them up to a white door at the end of the hallway, he then turned toward them and handed Chris a special red key card. "Just slide this through that lock over there and you'll be able to get inside." He explained as he turned to leave them. "Just remember, do not stay very long." He reminded them as Sam nodded and another shviver of fear raced down her spine as she watched Dr. Hill walk back up the hallway they had just came from before dissappering around a corner and out of sight. "Okay, so who goes first?" Chris asked drawing in a deep calming breath to calm his nerves.

The hallway was silent as everyone exchanged nervous glances. Sam was about to step forward when Mike suddenly approached the door, "Here goes nothing." He said taking in a deep breath. Grabbing the key card from Chris, he slid it down the lock and the door opened with a sound that sounded like a doorbell. He opened the door and stepped inside the large white room to find Josh huddled in a corner hugging his knees to his chest and rocking back and forth and muttering like a small innocent child. "No...No...daddy please...no more...no more..."

Mike drew in a soft breath and cautiously made his way to Josh, careful not to make any sudden movements. "H-Hey Josh." He said in a soft voice as Josh suddenly snapped his head up in fear. Immediatly Mike could see fear lodged in Josh's hazel eyes staring at him like he was a stranger. Slowly but surely, the fog began to fade from Josh's eyes as he stared into Mike's, "M-mike...is that you?" Mike nodded and offered a half smile, "Yeah Josh, it's me." Josh smiled back at him, but only for a moment, for it faded just as quickly as it appeared, "No, no, no, no," Josh shook his head, pressing his hands to his temples in pain. His breathing began to quicken again and a deep surge of pain suddenly shot through his chest as he suddenly began to struggle to breathe as though he was slowly being strangled to death. "you shouldn't be here," he groaned trying to catch his breath. "you're not safe around me."

"Easy Josh easy," Mike said trying to calm Josh down, but even as he begun to make the atempt now, it just proved in the end to be frutile. "Get away from me!" He cried out as the panic attack flowed through him harder now and he began to rock harder bashing the back of his head against the wall so hard it made a loud thump upon contact. Mike sighed unsure of what to do at thist point to calm down his old friend. Just as he was moving to leave, the door came open and Sam walked in. Mike glanced over his shoulder as she approached and tried to signal for her to go back before Josh loses it even further, but it was too late. "Josh," she said quietly, but just loud enough to get Josh's attention. Slowly he looked up at her, his eyes wide, his mouth agape as he gawked up at her, like a child looking to his mother for forgiveness. "Mommy?" Sam frowned and shook her head. "No Josh, it's me Sam." She said softly as she watched tears fill up in Josh's eyes. "I'm so sorry mom." He sobbed now as he continued to rock back and forth slightly harder now.

"I didn't mean to make daddy mad." He buried his face in his hands, "I didn't mean it, I swear, I didn't mean to hurt anyone." His head thumped back against the wall harder and harder, each time the thumping noise growing louder and louder as Ashley suddenly let out a sharp gasp of horror. "Guys, he's going to crack his head open! We have to stop him!" "Come on Josh, calm down buddy. It's me Chris. Remember? Come on Josh." He reached out to touch Josh's shoulder in attempt to calm him down, when the sound of footsteps approaching made him stop. "Josh honey?" Josh's head perked up in alarm and he stopped rocking as everyone turned to see a middle aged man and woman now standing in the doorway beside Dr. Hill. "Mommy? daddy?" Josh whimpered in a small child like voice as he looked at them and they both nodded. "Congratulations Josh." Said Dr. Hill from behind his parents. "Looks like you're going to be released today."

TOO BE CONTINUED...Wow! Poor Josh This is getting more intense. Is this really happening? Could he really be getting released from the insituation? Or is possible that Bob and Melinda could have something more sinister to do to their son? Stay tuend to find out more. Chapter 9 will be up as soon as I can get it.
