Until Dawn - Your Story

A tiny butterfly flapping its wings today may lead to a devastating hurricane weeks from now - The Butterfly Effect

"Hey, Beth... Oh my god. Josh passed out?", you ask smiling as you enter the kitchen. Beth turns around to look at you. "(Y/N)... you should know him. He always drink too much", she replies, while you make your way towards the sleeping man. The empty bottle on the table explains everything.

"Jeremiah Gragg... Woah", you read the label on the bottle. Laughing you pat his shoulder, but Josh doesn't move an inch. "You are drunk as hell, buddy", you add and ruffle his hair. Usually he doesn't like when you do this, but today your friend is defenseless. "Hey, (Y/N)... Did you see that?", Beth asks suddenly and you hear a hint of fear in her voice.

"No, what was it?", is your answer, while you look out of the window. There is nothing but the snowstorm. The woman next to you gives you a shrug with her shoulders. "I don't know. I thought I saw someone", Beth really sounds concerned, "Our Dad said it'd just be us this weekend."

For a few seconds you try to see something, but it's too dark outside. "Maybe it was just a deer", is your answer as you turn around to look at Beth. She makes her way to her brother to wake him up. "I actually wanted to ask you if you know where Hannah is. I couldn't find her", you remember the reason why you entered the kitchen. She just shakes her head.

"I hope Hannah doesn't do something stupid", you mumble under your breath. Beth gives up to wake Josh and pick up the note on the kitchen counter. "Oh my god... Look at that", you take the paper from her. Shocked and angry at the same time you raise your eyebrows.

Hannah

You look so damn hot in that shirt...

but I bet you're even hotter out of it.

Come to the guest room at 2.00 am ;-)

Mike xxx

"No way! That's the reason why Emily was giggling with Jessica. I wish she would see what jerk Mike is sometimes", you put the note back on the counter. Beth doesn't say something so you raise your head to see that she is looking out of the window again.

Someone runs out of the lodge, but you can't quite see who it is. "It could be Hannah! You look for the others and I try to wake Josh", you exclaim. As fast as you can you run to the sleeping man, while Beth makes her way out of the room. Really harshly you shake Josh's shoulder, but the guy is more than passed out.

"Damn it!", you curse, while you grab your jacket and leave the kitchen. Your friends come back inside yet you miss two people. "Where are Beth and Hannah?", of course you want to know worried. There are your best friends. The twins are in danger if they are out in the snowstorm. Sam glares at the others so you understand immediately what's going on.

"And why don't you follow them? There is a god damn snowstorm going on outside! Oh my god, and we call you friends!", anger fills you from your head to your toes. Without looking back you run outside right into the snow. The coolness hits you like a punch, but there is no time for waiting.

Beth's and Hannah's time is running out. "Beth! Hannah!", you yell their names, while you follow the footprints in the snow. It could be a false trace. Maybe a deer is just running around, but it's your only chance to find them. The snowflakes blurry your view so you trip over a stone or something like that.

Breathlessly you try to get back onto your feet. Suddenly something else catches your attention. "Oh my god!", you mumble shocked and scared at the same time. You can see flames somewhere between trees. Slowly you get cold from the snow. "What the hell is going on?!", you talk to yourself to suppress the fear. Your body is still shocked from the flames you have seen.

However, you force your body to work and stand up from the cold ground. With a sigh you look back the way you came from a few seconds ago. Of course you continue the search for Hannah and Beth, because they would do the same for you. The forest seems darker and more terrifying suddenly. Running isn't possible anymore for you. Your body isn't ready yet.

"Hannah? Beth?", you wouldn't yell. If someone is out there you only attract its attention with yelling around names. You are still following the footprints in the snow, but you are missing something. It's so quiet. Maybe a little bit too quiet. Scared to death you stop in motion and look around, because you have a feeling that someone is watching you.

"Hannah? Beth? ... Someone else?", your voice is trembling. Suddenly someone screams or better something. The scream doesn't sound human at all. "Oh my god!", you take a step back as a shadow crosses your way. It's definitely a person. Unfortunately it's not Hannah, Beth or someone else of your friends.

"Run...", is the only thing the person says. As fast as you can you turn around and run for your dear life. At least the guilty conscience has to time to torture you that you run away like a coward. Hannah and Beth could need your help, but you just want to save yourself.

Then after a few moments you break the first rule and throw a glance over your shoulder. Like the first time you trip over something like a stone and fall to the ground back into the cold snow. "No... No", you whisper, while you turn around to look out for the shadow person thing.

With one of your hands you swipe the snow out of your face to see something. "No!", you yell almost your lungs out as something appears in front of you. "Oh my god! No...", a face is the last thing you see before you pass out from exhaustion.

Let's start your story...
