Epilogue
It still felt surreal, even after so many days had passed. But now, here they were. Sam and Mike stood just inside the hospital reception, waiting. Following their rescue from Blackwood, they had been interviewed by the police and had to share their story, despite the obvious skepticism.
'But then I just...had to say that to them, didn't I?' Sam thought guiltily.
She had told them to go to the mines, that they would find all of the proof there, and they did just that. Finding more than they bargained for, Josh, it turned out, hadn't been killed by Hannah after all, but had been taken and was in the process of turning into a Wendigo himself when the police arrived. Sam shuddered, trying not to think about that.
She instead focused on how things were now. It was an amazing moment for them, when they found out about Jess and Grant, that they had both survived. Mike could scarcely believe it. It was during those days, as they were treated for their injuries and tried to recover, that he and Jess spoke to each other, trying to clear the air. There were a lot of issues that were still unresolved. Thankfully, now, they were. Perhaps seeing the change in Mike, as Sam had seen, Jess had finally, after much effort, forgiven him and even seemed happy for Sam and Mike.
Meanwhile, in the days that followed, they had noticed Jess and Grant becoming closer. Now they were an official couple. Mike and Sam had confessed their feelings for one another during that time, too. Their ordeal together on the mountain had brought them together. Josh's words rang in Sam's mind as she realized that he was right. A traumatic event can cause two people to bond and bring them together, and it had happened for all six of them.
Now they were waiting for Jess, who was finally being released from hospital. Grant would be with her and Chris and Ashley were waiting outside for them. It was still hard on them all, and yet they always found it easier when they were all together; the survivors.
Mike and Sam smiled as they saw Jess and Grant walking towards them at last. Jess looked a lot happier too, finally free of the hospital. Even her scars didn't look as pronounced as before. Joining up, they headed outside to join Chris and Ashley, all relieved that they had escaped the nightmare. While the memories may still haunt them, they would all face it together, with the person that they love as a light in the darkness.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
Now, most importantly, I'd like to give a big thank you to PokemonFreak90 who very generously beta read all these chapters for me and helped me in coming up with the details and such for the idea :)
