Okay, this is the last chapter of this fanfic. Enjoy :)
A year has passed since that fatal day. The group (or the ones left from the group) decided to come back at the mountains, in the lodge's ruins and remember what happened 2 years ago and last year.
Sam and Ashley were walking hand-in-hand in the cable car station, waiting for a cable car to come. They were disgussing about last year's events.
"It's unbelieveable how last year, a year after Hannah and Beth disappeared, Josh called us all up here to have fun and now, this year, Josh is also gone", said Ashley
"Yeah...", Sam replied with a sad tone, adding "Many things happened last year. We were in the edge of death because of the wendigos and we lost Josh as well"
Sam lowered her head and wiped a tear from her eyes.
"You forgot the most important thing, Sam", said Ashley and smiled
"What?"
"You and I became lovers. And now, a year later, we're still together"
Sam lifted her head, looked at Ashley and smiled back to her.
"Oh, right. How could I forget about that?"
And kissed her in the lips. Suddenly, the cable car came and both girls got in and went up in the mountains. A surprise was waiting for the two girls up there.
"Matt? Jess?"
They saw Matt and Jess waiting for them, holding hands.
"Hey Sam. Hey Ash", said Matt like nothing strange was happening
"Hi girls", Jess greeted them cheerfully
"Are you guys-", Sam began to say but Matt interrupted her
"Lovers? Yes, we are"
Sam and Ashley couldn't believe what they just heard.
"But...how?", asked Ashley
It was Jess' turn to speak:
"Matt told me that you let him see Mike and Emily having a romance, so I got angry and broke up with him. Besides, from the moment Matt saved me last year, I started developing feelings towards him"
"But what about Emily?", asked Sam
"She apologized for her behaviour", said Matt, adding "But I thought it'd be better if we stayed friends. Plus, I also started developing feelings towards Jess"
"But, is Emily really okay with-"
"What about me?"
Sam, Ashley, Matt and Jess turned their heads and saw Emily coming to them.
"Hi, Em", Matt greeted her like it was totally normal for him to see the girl he previously was in a relationship with.
"Hi, Matt", said Emily smiling
She looked at the rest of the group and said:
"Hi, Sam. Hi, Ash. Jess"
Jess waved her hand at Emily. Emily smiled at her. Suddenly, a noise came from the cable car station behind them. Matt and Jess went to see who it was. Sam and Ashley took Emily in a corner and began to ask her questions.
"Em, are you really okay with Matt dating Jess", asked Sam
"I still have feelings for Matt", said Emily without looking any of the girls
She turned her head to them and smiled. Sam and Ashley noticed that she was crying.
"But I guess I got what I deserved"
Ashley went closer to Emily and grabbed her shoulders, trying to comfort her. Emily looked at her.
"Ash, I want to apologize to you too about my behaviour last year. I got too mad at you for something Mike was about to do and almost killed you before dawn. Will you forgive me?"
Ashley smiled.
"I forgive you, Em"
"Sup, everyone?"
Sam, Ashley and Emily turned their heads and saw Chris coming to them, with Matt and Jess behind him, kissing.
"Hi Chris", Sam and Ashley greeted him with a smile
"Did you read about that incident on the news, where two policemen came here and found a wendigo down in the mines, which killed one of them?" ***
"Yeah", said Emily
"We did too", said Sam, adding "Well, it's not like we are going to go down to the mines again"
"Anyway", said Chris "Are all of us here?"
"Only Mike isn't with us", said Ashley
"He said that he's up in the lodge's ruins", said Matt, who had just joined their convo
"Let's head there then", said Jess, who had also joined the convo
And they walked up to the lodge's ruins. When they arrived, they found Mike, looking at the ruins, lost in his thoughts.
"Hi Mike", said Matt
Mike turned his head and saw them.
"Oh, hi guys"
And they all stood there, looking at the ruins thoughtfully. Suddenly, Jess broke the silence:
"There's nothing left from the Washingtons anymore. Hannah and Beth disappeared two years ago, Josh disappeared last year and their house is nothing but ruins"
The rest of the group nodded. Matt and Jess shared an embrace, Sam and Ashley did the same, with the difference of Sam crying. Chris, Emily and Mike were staring at the two couples with sympathy.
"Come to think of it", said Chris "I never actually told Beth how I really felt towards her. But it's way too late now"
And lowered his head. Emily went to Chris and grabbed his shoulders.
"Chris, I'm so sorry. I know you loved Beth more than anyone and how much her dissapearance and death cost you"
"How did you know?", asked Chris surprised
"You said that to Josh, who said it to Mike, who said it to me"
Mike was staring at the rest of the group, smiling.
~They're alive~, he thought.
Sam and Ashley were kissing passionately. Matt and Jess were doing the same. Chris and Emily were talking to each other and Mike was staring at the group, smiling. They were all so alive. And there was nothing else to make him happier than that.
The End
*** You probably figured it out already that I'm talking about Josh XD.
(P.S: Sam and Ashley lived happily ever after. So did Matt and Jess. Chris and Emily became very good friends and Mike lived a happy life as well)
