Hey guys! So I just rewatched a play through of Until Dawn, and wanted to write a fanfiction of Chris and Ashley's relationship! For this fanfiction, it's assumed that everyone was saved, and will obviously contain spoilers. I plan on updating this fanfiction every Tuesday and Thursday, with maybe an occasional extra chapter on Saturdays/Sundays if I can get an extra one written up. Other than that, enjoy!

The five of them were in the main living room of the lodge, with a number of Wendigos surrounding them. Chris looked around at his friends, who, much like him were standing deathly still. They all knew what would happen if the Wendigos saw them move, and none of them were willing to test the Wendigos on their reflexes. Just then, one of the Wendigos began to fight the rest. He looked at Ashley and saw that she turned her head so she wouldn't see the violence that was happening in front of her. They made eye contact and Chris mouthed "Don't look Ash" and she nodded, seeking safety in Chris' eyes. He knew he had to be strong for Ashley, and he stared at her with hope in his eyes to keep her distracted while the violent scene played out in front of them.

Once the room had gotten quiet once more, Chris broke his gaze with Ashley and instead turned his head. He glanced over at Mike and Sam, who gave each other a nod, but as to what, Chris didn't know. Then he saw the exposed gas pipe on the other side of the room.

He put the the pieces together from what he learned from the Stranger about the Wendigo's weakness to fire, and realized they were going to blow up the lodge. Just as he thought that, Mike began to move over to a light bulb on the other side of the room, and with the Wendigo focused on Sam, Chris took that as his cue to leave. He began to quietly, but briskly run to the door of the lodge. He turned the doorknob and swung the door open when a thought suddenly came to him. He had to get out of there, but he wasn't going to leave without Ashley. He waited by the door for a few moments, but the shrieking of the Wendigo upstairs told him that his window for leaving was almost up. He bolted through the door and the cold air around him began to whip at his face. Once he was a safe distance from the lodge, he sat down and faced the lodge, giving the door a hopeful stare that Ashley was close behind him. He lowered his head in dismay as he saw that no one was behind him, but still held hope that Ashley would come out soon.

After what felt like an eternity, Chris heard footsteps approaching the door, and immediately sprung his head back up. He crossed his fingers that it was Ashley, but it was Emily instead, stumbling through the door, constantly looking behind her. Chris' anxiety only heightened, as while it was good that one of his friends made it out, Ashley still hadn't come out that door yet. Emily settled down and leaned against a tree to Chris' right, examining the wound on her right leg, as well as the bite on her shoulder.

"Did you see Ash behind you?" Chris called out to Emily, but she only ignored him. Either that or she was too preoccupied about her own well being to care about the others, Chris thought to himself.

A couple minutes later, Chris heard another set of footsteps running towards the door, and this time when he looked up with hopeful eyes, Ashley's beautiful green eyes stared right back at him.

"Ashley!" Chris exclaimed as he got to his feet and ran over to her. As the snow crunched around him, Ashley ran towards him as well, and the two met in the middle in a tight embrace. They were both desperate to hold on to each other and be as close as they possibly could. It was only less than a couple hours ago that they confessed their love for each other, and nothing was going to separate them. For a few moments, neither of them said anything, enjoying the warmth and comfort of being in each other's arms. Chris loosened his grasp on Ashley as their foreheads touched, and they both smiled at each other. Their hearts glowed as they looked at each other with love in their eyes, until their thoughts were broken by Mike's abrupt bursting out of the lodge.

"Run from the lodge!" Mike shouted as he ran a safe distance from the Wendigo infested building.

Chris took Ashley's hand and led her away from the lodge, aware of Sam and Mike's plan to blow up the lodge. With only Sam left in the building, the four friends waited outside with baited breath for Sam's eventual footsteps, however they never came. Rather, Sam jumped, and the force of the explosion propelled her forward out of the lodge.

Once Chris heard the initial explosion and saw Sam being propelled out of the lodge, Chris immediately spun Ashley around and pulled her towards his chest, with his back facing the lodge to make sure she was protected from the blast. Chris could feel the intense, rising heat behind him from the lodge, but with Ashley nestled in his chest, she was safe. As the roaring sounds of the flames began to subside, Chris could feel Ashley's warm breath against his chest, and Ashley could hear Chris' heart beating. Sam clambered up from the shock of the explosion, and as the rest of his friends began to recover from the shock of the blast, he and Ashley just stood there together in each other's embrace. While the heat of the smoldering lodge behind him was a pleasant contrast to the cold air around him, the warmth he felt from holding Ashley in his arms was much better.

The sudden sound of a pair of helicopters above caused Chris and Ashley to loosen their embrace, and when they looked up, they could see the helicopters descending downwards to pick up himself and his friends. They looked at each other and smiled, with a look of relief on both of their faces. Chris reached in and cupped Ashley's face, giving her a short, but sweet kiss on her lips, tasting what little lip gloss Ashley still had on. Ashley smiled and returned the kiss, making sure that this kiss was much longer than the one they shared in the cabin. As the helicopters touched down to pick them up, Ashley reached for Chris' hand, intertwining her fingers with his as she led him over to the helicopters.

They both took seats aboard the helicopters, never letting go of each other's hand. When they sat down, Ashley leaned her head against Chris' shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her waist bringing her closer to him. As Chris looked down at Ashley he smiled and kissed her forehead, prompting her to look up at him and smile.

Once Emily, Sam and Mike were all securely on the helicopters, they began to ascend, no doubt looking for Jess and Matt next. But Chris could only focus on him and Ashley. The nightmarish experience the two of them had endured was finally over. Their night was hell, but Chris never thought it'd end with him alive and well, and Ashley safely nestled in his arms. He smiled at these thoughts and for the first time that night, he was truly calm and content.

Chris leaned his head back into his seat, as both him and Ashley began to slowly drift to sleep. As his eyelids began to feel heavy, he heard Ashley lightly snoring, a sign that she was already fast asleep. He smiled, and drifted to sleep contently with the girl of his dreams safely in his arms.

Thanks for reading guys! Sorry if the writing seems a bit off, I haven't written a fanfiction in a few months, so my skills are a bit rusty. Also, sorry that this chapter doesn't have a whole lot of dialogue between the characters. I was trying to go for one of those "too tired to talk, but just wanna enjoy your company" themes between Chris and Ash. But, I promise that the next chapter will have a lot more dialogue! If you guys have any suggestions for upcoming chapters in regards to Chris and Ashley's relationship, or any ideas for future chapters in general, I'd love to hear them! I've already got some ideas for the next couple of chapters, but hearing ideas from you guys would be great! I'd really appreciate it if you left a review, but even if you don't, you're still awesome for reading my fanfiction! Have a great day!
