🎅A WENDIGO CHRISTMAS🎅
@untildawn-secretsanta
@lookimtryingmybest HI!!! This is my present for you this Christmas!! I hope you enjoy it! You'll get some good old nonsense in the end. I was planning to draw you something but I couldn't so I wrote my first fanfic ever for you! I hope you enjoy it!
You could call Josh the revengeful type. He was like, planning a super elaborate “prank” in order to finally avenge his sisters’ disappearance after the very infamous joke they pulled on Hannah. However, Josh had been doubting the usefulness of such a plan. It had started not long ago, after a call with Chris and Ashley, he started feeling bad about it. First he thought about Chris and Ashley:he had very mixed feelings about them. One part of him was jealous of Ashley, as he loved Chris, his childhood bff, but the other part kind of wanted her as well? Weird. Then he started thinking about his friend Sam, she didn't even participate in the prank, and lately they had been supporting one another. Then the final factor appeared: Christmas was near and his parents wouldn't even be here to celebrate it with him, and if his sisters weren't here either, what was the point? So he had an idea to solve both problems: what if he invited all his “friends” (he's not even sure they still are his friends) for Christmas? Then he could decide if he forgave them AND he wouldn't be all alone. Josh hated loneliness. So he called them all. And these kids apparently didn't want to attend the family dinner because everyone accepted.
Everyone was back at the lodge, the first people to arrive were Ashley and Chris. They came together and Josh could feel his “mixed feelings” about them rise the second he saw them.
“Hey bro! Hey Ashley!” He greeted them
“‘Sup”
“Hi!” he hugged both of them. Quickly afterwards an awkward silence settled in.
“Anyone wanna play dnd?” Chris spoke in an attempt to stop the awkwardness, and, I mean, it worked because now Josh and Ashley just felt despair.
“Dude please tell me you didn't bring all of your dnd stuff…”
“Uh…”
“I asked you if you had it before we headed out and you swore you only brought presents!!” Ashley joined in the complaints.
“Well, I mean, playing dnd IS a present!”
“Ugh…”
“So will you guys play or-”
“NO.” Their little banter was quickly interrupted by noises they heard in front of the living room.
“This bitch better get lost on her way. I can't stand her ugly ass.”
“Calm down Emily…remember we're all here for Josh today” Oh, another couple with issues. Hopefully they can fix them for Christmas, that would be like a hallmark movie. Matt and Emily entered the place, and immediately noticed how their three friends were looking at them.
“Oh, did you guys like, hear us?”
“Yeah.” Josh decided to be honest, but before any of them could really address it. A braided blondie came in with her boyfriend.
“Hiiiii” she cheerfully greeted and hugged everyone, well except Emily of course.
“This bitch-” Emily quickly interrupted herself when she saw the pleading look Matt gave her.
“Almost everyone is here, where's Sam?” Josh asked.
“Right here.” Sam was right behind him and just gave him the fright of his life.
“HOLY SHIT SAM WHY”
“Ha, I'm getting back at you for all the times you scared me” she playfully elbowed him.
After a while, the atmosphere was still pretty tense, no one was really doing anything. Sam took a look at Josh and noticed how he wasn't looking really comfortable. She decided to talk to him.
“Hey, Josh”
“Sup Sam.”
“Are you planning to do anything? Like, watching a Christmas movie, do you have a Christmas playlist? Maybe board games?”
“Uh, I mean I bought beers”
“Let me take charge for a while.”
Sam stood up and started assigning tasks to her friends, dividing them in groups (that she chose carefully).
“Okay so, Ash,Chris and Josh, go turn the electricity generator on in the basement, then we can get more light, no offense Josh, but these candles are not enough. Matt and Emily could start getting the table ready for dinner. Jess could change the decorations a bit, Josh, I know you love your favorite indie horror movie's Christmas merch but I think Jess could make everything a bit, uh, prettier. Mike and I could go searching for board games or anything that could entertain us tonight, okay?” Everyone nodded and started working on their assigned tasks.
“Why does no one want to play dnd!? It's so interesting!”
“Dude!”
“What!?”
“I'm shivering!” Ashley chimed in.
“Oh, do you want one of my flannels?”
“How many flannels do you have!?”
Josh clicked on a secret button on the wall,it revealed a closet full of flannels, there was like every flannel you could imagine. Red one, purple,pink, barbie flannel, horror flannel, flannels with fur on the sleeves, etc…
Ashley gasped “What the hell!? I'm actually impressed.”
“And I'm the weirdo because I like dnd. You're obsessed with flannels!” Chris shook his head.
“Flannels are useful okay!?” Josh defensively responded.
“Oh I like this one!” Ashley tried a green one on.
“Oh my god it was made for you! That's some high quality flannel dude.” Josh admired as Ashley spun around in her new flannel.
As they descended in the basement, Chris started working on the electricity generator while Ashley and Josh remained on one side, a bit away from him (they just finished bantering because Josh complained about Chris’ phone addiction).
“So…how have you been since-”
“Don't worry about it Ashley. I've been doing well, tonight I just want to have a good time with you guys okay? You and Chris mean a lot to me and well… I don't mean to get between you two because I see how you look at eachother you know? But I like being with you”
“Josh…we also enjoy every minute we spend with you”
“Oh-”
“What are you guys talking about?” Chris joined the conversation back.
“What are you talking about Matt?” Emily and Matt were only supposed to get the table ready for the dinner but surprisingly the conversation turned into Matt opening up about his insecurities on his relationship with Emily.
“Matt, you are everything I could ask for. And I've never been happier since we've been together and you better understand that! You're beautiful and you're just a great guy, so don't you dare deny it! And Emily's always right, thank you very much.” Matt didn't expect such direct praises from Emily, he just jumped to hug her as she hugged him back with a surprised look. Jessica passed by the kitchen and threw a disgusted stare at Emily and Matt.
“Emily don't do that-” Emily didn't listen to Matt as she kept walking towards Jessica at a fast pace. When she got near enough, she opened her arms and gave Jessica the warmest hug she ever received.
“Emily? What-"Jessica mumbled.
“I already lost a friend last year and I won't lose another one. I won't let that happen, got it? Especially not over a stupid guy named Mike. You may be a bitch, a huge bitch…”
“Woah”
“But you're still my best friend.”
“Oh Emily” Jessica broke the hug to get a better look at her “I'm so sorry for what I did, I want to go back to how we were…”
“Jessica, I know you're sorry and that you're happy with him and I'm happy with Matt, so let's forget about this stupid feud over some stupid guy, and let's be besties again, I won't take no for an answer by the way.”
“YES” The girls started happily cheering for their friendship as Matt watched, proud of his girlfriend.
“Jesus, these board games are old.” Mike coughed because of the dust.
“Yep, they haven't used them since…”
Mike sighed “I think about that everyday”
“I know Mike, we've talked about it. And you know what I said, you're sorry, everyone is, but now it's time to move on, look at how happy Josh was when he saw us. This is how we can honor them: by celebrating the best Christmas for them.”
“You're right…”
“How are things with your father going by the way?”
“Oh you know, the same stuff as always, he acts like a douche and has those dumb expectations”
“Mh I see…”
“Let's stop talking about me. Let's talk about you, Sam. How are you doing?”
“Oh! Uh well you know, the same stuff as always. I have to take care of everyone again.”
“Yeah, you probably made me accompany you so I could talk about my problems,heh.”
“You got me there. I mean sometimes being the mom friend is tiring you know? You guys give me a lot of work. Helping Chris, Ash and Josh figure out they all have feelings for eachother is hard!”
“Oh yeah! Everyone knows it! Well, except for them. But you're right Sam, we should make an effort to get along better and you know, listen to your problems too.”
“Aw thank you. Nice talk bro!” Sam lightly punched his shoulder.
“Ouch!”
“Oops”
Everything was now ready for the perfect Christmas. The dishes were on the table. The Christmas tree was beautiful and the living room was shining with all the decorations. The lights were on and the lodge was warm. Sam and Mike had some movies and boardgames prepared for the night, and Josh's (odd) Christmas playlist was playing in the background. Matt, Mike and Sam were playing a board game, Jess and Emily were catching up and Josh,Chris and Ash were cuddling together on the couch while chatting about geeky stuff. Suddenly, the lights started flickering and finally turned off. Screams were heard (mostly from Mike). The lights turned back on, revealing a tall and pale creature standing in the living room. Our friends didn't know it, but it was a wendigo. The time stopped, it was like everyone was too stunned to speak, petrified. The wendigo opened its mouth.
“I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need…”
Josh immediately recognised the beautiful singing voice.
“Hannah!?” The wendigo put a christmas hat on its head. “Yeah!”
“Where have you been!?”
“Long story short, I fell from a mountain into some mines and I ate a dead body to survive and now I look like that!” Hannah cheerfully explained.
“Hey you look just like the monster from my favorite horror movie! Cool!” The two siblings hugged.
“Wait a minute, Hannah. Where's Beth?”
“ Uh… JOSH LOOK SANTA PUT THE PRESENTS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE!”
“NO WAY DUDE!”
Everyone ran to the tree. Each person got wonderful gifts from their loved ones. Emily got a new bag and jewelry, Jess got new clothes and makeup, Mike got an ugly Christmas sweater and he didn't know it yet but the next day Jessica would take him out to adopt a puppy together, Matt got some more material to practice sports, Chris got a new videogame, Ashley got a new book collection and Sam got some sweaters.
Josh decided that he would give up on his plan. He had the time of his life with his friends and he got his sister back. The rest of the night went wonderfully well. They danced, had a delicious dinner and played board games. Emily and Jess apologized and catched up with Hannah. They even sang together when they organized a Christmas karaoke. In the end, it was the best Christmas everyone could wish for. “Hey Hannah, have you ever played dnd?”
“Chris…” Josh sighed.
“Show me!” Hannah responded, surprising everyone.
