To The Mountains ( Until Dawn Inspired Fic )

The cabin

"we've made some good progress so far, my friend." Dr. Hollister smiled, tapping his pen to his clipboard. "Our last session went smoothly.. but i am growing concerned over your.. situation." He leaned forward, reaching into his desk and pulling out a brown leather bound book. "We're going to try and find the root of your anxieties.." he set the book down, face up and opened, a picture of a man and a woman on the first two pages. "Now pick up that book.. turn the pages.. you will see a set of pictures and symbols. I want you to identify which image in each set.. makes you the most anxious."

A pair of gloved hands slid the book over, holding it close.

Grant was waiting for the group at the lodge, tapping his foot as he looked at his phone. He could hear the grinding of the cables. "And so like, i got moved to the back, and thats where i met grant. Boom, butterfly effect." Ryan smirked, adam rolling his eyes. "Yeah yeah, its not like we've heard this story a million times, ry. Come on." He scoffed.

"I thought it was a cool story. Brandon shrugged, hopping off of the car once it stopped, the others following. "alright, i'm going ahead. Since you're best buds, you can stay with grant." Brandon poked ryans chest, before moving forward, giving grant a quick hug. "Good to see ya, bud." He smiled.

Ryans mouth fell open in disbelief, watching his brothers move ahead. "wow, okay, rude y'all." He scoffed, watching them hug and move on. Ryan sighed, going up to grant and giving him a high five. "Whats up? Glad you guys could make it." Grant smiled, before pulling ryan into a tight squeeze.

"Of course dude, me and my brothers wouldn't miss a chance to get away for the world." Ryan chuckled, before giving a sigh. "This mountain feels bigger and bigger every time we climb it.." he started forward, grant following. "Hey guys, you get up here okay?" He called to the group, victoria giving a soft scoff. "Yeah, had to trudge through a snowstorm." Grant put his hands up. "Hey, you're the one that decided to wear heeled boots." He stepped past, trying the front door. "Ah shit its locked.." he dug in his pocket.. "annnd i forgot my keys."

"..maybe we could find another way in." Jack called, tilting his head. "Wait.. what? You know i could technically arrest you for that. If you're suggesting breaking in." Grant looked, his brows raising. "I'd rather have a possible criminal record than having to freeze my ass off any longer." Alex called nonchalantly. "Alright then, lead the way, lead singer." Grant pointed to jack, jack going down the steps and around the side, looking around. "..hey, wasn't there supposed to be an axe around here?" He mumbled. "Oh yeah, ma probably took it out just in case.. y'know.." grant made a chopping motion.

"..i promise you that nobodys gonna be an axe murderer dude. Victoria would die if she broke a nail, alex is way too insecure, brandons.. well.. brandon, and my brothers would never do that." Jack grumbled, grant rolling his eyes and looking over at an open window. "..bingo. i'll hoist you up, J." He gestured, getting down in front of it. Jack sighed, stepping up and hoisting into the window, flipping in and crashing to the ground with a grunt. "Shit.. i'm okay!!' he called. The lights soon flickered out.

"Hey- i just got an idea! There's a can of deodorant in the bathroom, maybe you can grab it and like,, burn off the lock or whatever? I carry a lighter with me-" Grant called, taking it out and tossing it through the window, jack picking it up and flicking it on. "Yeah- i gotcha, i'll be a minute." He sighed.

"Godspeed!!" Grant called, his footsteps crunching away in the snow. ".. alright, fuck you then." Jack sighed, going into the dark. As he searched, he found tools, various supplies.. and a newspaper clipping. He picked it up, reading 'ex-janitor convicted for arson', though a lot of the text was cut out. He sighed, putting it in his pocket and moving on.

He climbed the steps, going up to the bathroom, grabbing the aerosol and coming back, walking past a picture. He stopped, looking at it, picking it up. It was the sisters and brandon. A picture of senior prom.. there was a prominent sea turtle tattoo on giannas wrist. She always loved sea turtles.

A loud knock pulled jack out of his stare. "jack? I know you're in there, open the door already!!" Suzie called, jack shaking his head and going over, burning the lock. He let everyone in, grant smiling. "Home sweet home." He called, a smile on his face. "well as sweet as a home could be with police coming in and out." Suzie mumbled, fixing her hat and putting her stuff down.

"Well.. you guys get settled, and we'll get this party started, right guys?" Grant smiled, the group dispersing.

"This'll be the most bomb ass party in the history of parties."
