Natalie let out a heavy sigh, it felt like they had been sitting in the basement for hours. Her feet were dangling, as she was sitting next to Emily on a table. "Holy shit these assholes better get back," Natalie said quietly.
"Maybe the- the wendigo got them?" Emily questioned.
"Let's not think like that..." Natalie said, "I hope they're okay."
"Yeah me too." Emily agreed. Natalie sighed and hopped off the table, grabbing the stranger's journal that Sam had given to her before she went off on her own. "What are you doing?"
"I'm gonna see if there's anything we're missing," Natalie said and opened the journal to read. It just said the same stuff she already knew. "Fuck nothing."
Emily sighed "I guess we just wait-" she stopped hearing a loud screeching noise, close by. The group exchanged quick glances "Run!"
Chris was first to leave, then Emily and Ashley. Natalie followed the group. Emily shoved Ashley as they ran out of the basement and Natalie grabbed ahold of her, pulling her out. They ran into Mike and Sam who were about to come to the basement. "Run!" Natalie told them and ran up the stairs, Mike right behind her.
"Shit!" She could hear Sam shout and Sam slammed the door shut running after them.
Natalie froze with Ashley. There were two Wendigos in the lodge. Sam came up the stairs and paused. Mike's eyes shifted to her. "Don't move." Mike said quietly "Don't move a fucking muscle."
The wendigo's pounce on each other, the largest one throws one at the furnace and gas comes out and that's when Sam and Mike exchanged looks, like they're making a plan up. Natalie remained as still as possible, Ashley directly behind her. Natalie's eyes shift to a frightened Emily.
Mike slowly walks to a lightbulb. The wendigo decapitates one of the smaller wendigo and Sam makes the floor creak, making her freeze stiller than ever. Mike breaks the lightbulb and the wendigo turns to Mike. Chris runs out of the log. Natalie felt relief that her brother survived.
Sam sighs "HEY!" She yells to drift the wendigo's attention to her. Ashley runs out of the lodge. Ashley survived. Then Emily went out after Ashley.
Now it was just Natalie, Sam, and Mike left. Sam moved. "Fuck you!" Natalie screamed, and the wendigo stared directly at her. "Fuck you mother fucker!"
Sam and Mike exchanged glances as if they were saying 'What is she doing.' The wendigo flew at her, picking her up. Everything that happened the past year went through her head. She was about to meet what she had wanted. Death. But now she was afraid. She was afraid to die.
Beth, Hannah, Josh, Chris, Ashley, Emily, Jessica, Mike, Matt, and Sam all flew her mind happy memories with each and every one of them. Her friends, her chosen family. Yes, that included Josh despite all he had done.
- flashback -
She smiled as the friend group laughed and talked, played board games. This was before the dating drama, before the prank when everything was normal.
"I cannot believe the weekend is almost over already," Matt said.
"Yeah agreed. We should do this more than once a year." Natalie offered.
Josh looked at his sisters and shrugged "We can talk to our parents about it." He suggested.
Beth and Hannah both nodded "I'm sure they wouldn't mind Josh." Beth said.
"Well either way it has been super fun!" Jess exclaimed.
Mike nodded "Totally."
"Bitchin!" Chris announced and the whole group looked at him.
"Bitchin?" Ashley questioned.
"What the hell does that mean?" Emily asked s
Chris sighed "Old school thing I guess." He said sheepishly.
"Yeah, Chris..." Natalie mumbled. The group was silent for a few seconds before they burst out laughing.
- flashback over -
Natalie stared at the wendigo, her brown eyes full of fear. "Natalie!" Sam yelled, trying to get the wendigo to stop.
It didn't. The wendigo picked her up. Impaling her abdomen, luckily Mike shot it off of her with a gun before it could impale her completely through. The wendigo dropped her to the ground.
"Owes." Natalie groaned, she had never felt such a pain before.
"Mike get her!" Sam shouted. Mike shot the wendigo again, sending it flying.
He rushed over to Natalie and picked her up, running her out of the lodge. Sam turned behind them, flipping the switch. The lodge was engulfed in flames.
"Natalie!" Emily screamed, dropping to her knees. Mike laid her on the ground.
"Nat!" Chris cried, dropping next to his sister.
"She's alive! But we gotta do something!" Mike shouted. The spirits of the wendigo came out of the lodge, leaving screeches.
"Guys things are getting blurry," Natalie stammered. Chris ripped his shirt and handed the strip to Emily.
"Stay with me, Nat!" Chris yelled, slapping her face gently "Apply pressure, Emily!"
Emily took the piece of cloth and applied pressure to Natalie's wound. "Y-your okay Natalie. You're gonna be okay." Emily assured her, choking back tears.
Chris sighed "We have to stop the bleeding before she bleeds out!" He yelled. "Fuck fuck fuck!"
Natalie blinked slowly "Natalie stay with us!" Mike shouted.
"I- I can't..." she whispered her eyes clothing.
Chris put his hand in front of her mouth "Shit, she's not breathing!" Chris shouted, "Okay Em listen up, 30 compressions, then you don't mouth to mouth two times ok! Mike keep the pressure on!"
Mike took Emily's spot and applied pressure. Chris started doing chest compressions "1...2...3...4...5..." he said and went to 30. "Go Em!"
Emily leaned down, plugged her nose, and did two mouths to mouths. Chris started counting again.
"Oh, Natalie!" Ashley sobbed heavily, "Please please please!" The sun was rising and a helicopter came into view. Emily and Chris were still performing CPR.
"Guys, paramedics should be here soon!" Sam shouted, spotting the helicopter.
"I am not giving up on you Natalie! You have to make it out!" Chris screamed "Breathe! Fuck please just breathe!"
Natalie didn't, her face was pale, and her skin was cold. "Chris- Chris!" Mike yelled, getting his attention "S-she's gone, Chris... Natalie's gone."
