Probably should establish now... I don't own Until Dawn or the Youtubers mentioned... That would be really creepy.... XD

Ten hours Until Dawn...

"Today is the one year anniversary of the dreadful tragedy that took place on Mount Solace."

The silver bus snaked along the old winding road that lead up the mountainside as the sun began to set on the horizon.

"Sheriff Ashley Marie who was in charge of the investigation..."

"Thanks for having me Jordan..."

Inside the bus was only one passenger who sat near the back, his light green eyes watching the horizon. He had a large pair of black and green headphones on as he listened to the radio on his phone, which he held tightly in his hands.

"... Listens to an update on Seto Levis and Brice Solace. The two boys who are still missing..."

"One year ago tonight, the teens left the safety of Brice's parents lodge and headed out into the snow storm...

The radio cut out for a minute as the bus traveled higher up the mountain and further away from reception, but it kept playing.

"...Foul play?"

"Not officially, no. There is one individual we're considering as a person of interest, but his whereabouts are currently unknown. He has an interesting history with the Solace family... He'd warned them against pursuing their construction project and claimed the land was sacred to his forefathers."

The bus began to drive down the path away from the slopes and through the trees, leaving the passenger, Ty Ellies, to sigh and turn away from the window and look down at his phone, still listening to the podcast.

"You know... There's still the old Sanatorium on the mountain... Could he be hiding there?"

"My officers did search the grounds but.. The boys themselves couldn't have made it that far... Not in that weather..."

"Something about that mountain seems to breathe tragic events..."

"More than you know Jordan..."

"Thank you for joining us Ashley... And our thoughts are with those knew the kids and we wish you well on this tragic night..."

Ty sighed as the podcast began to continue on other subjects that he honestly didn't care about, so he opened his phone and turned off the podcast, flicking to his messages as he tried to keep his mind occupied.

He found one message from Ian that was a video and he pressed play on it, turning the screen sideways to get a better view.

The video showed Ian standing in the middle of the foyer at the ski lodge, smiling at the camera.

"Hey Guys. Uh...  It's me... I got all the confirmations and it's beyond awesome to have us all coming back to the annual Minewood Winter Getaway!" Ian said happily.

After a small moment of silence, Ian finally said with a sigh "Ok... I guess I should address the Uh...  Thing on everyone's minds... I know it's gonna be weird coming back... I know some of us haven't spoken since last year... I know that the team broke up over it so it's gonna be awkward and sad coming back..." He said, looking down.

"But... It means a lot to me that we're all coming back... And I have a feeling that it's what Brice and Seto would have wanted us to be together through this time, thinking of them... I think we really need to spend time with each other and make amends... You know... Just make some good memories that we won't ever forget..."
