Disclaimer: I do not own Until Dawn, its characters or plot. I DO however own my OC, changes to the plot (that obviously aren't part of the game since there are technically diff. plot choices).

Summary: He didn't know what compelled him to walk over and move the white pawn. Josh meets a girl in the waiting room of Dr. Alan Hill. The two bond over chess to the point where he invites her up to the lodge for the weekend with the rest of his friends to help him. (I would only recommend reading this if you've played the game/watched it. There will be spoilers!) Josh/OC

Genres: Romance, Supernatural, Tragedy, Hurt/Comfort.

Once again there will be spoilers.

Prologue is super short but I wanted to get this out there.

"Somebody make a move!" Josh looked up from the floor and over to the girl sitting at the chess table. Her head was tilted back letting her long brown hair hang freely over the back of the chair; her eyes were closed. A black and red wool beanie sat on her head, an odd thing to wear in the middle of summer as was the rest of her clothing: a navy blue turtle neck, dark green cargo pants and black winter boots. Around her neck was a gold locket that stood out against the dark top. Josh glanced around the room to see the waiting room empty. He didn't know what compelled him to walk over and move the white pawn with an audible tap. "Finally!" The girl exclaimed as she lifted her head and looked at Josh with bright blue eyes.

"If you're the next appointment-"

"My appointment's not for a few more hours." The girl said as moved a second black pawn. Josh sat down across from her.

"What are you doing here so early?" he asked with a brief confused smile. The girl looked at him and blinked.

"Chess." she said. "I've been waiting for someone to join me."

"You do this every week?" Josh asked as he moved a piece. The girl nodded. "I haven't seen you before."

"I only just started coming here on Fridays. I used to come on Tuesdays but Fridays work better." she said as she took out one of his pawns with a smile.

"Uh I'm Josh." he said before moving another piece.

"I'm Maxine." she said with a bright smile. Josh almost couldn't help but give her a small smile back.

"Well Maxine, it's uh… it's kinda hot out for a turtle neck isn't it?" Josh asked with a small smirk.

"I'm always freezing." Maxine said with a sheepish smile and a shrug before she moved another piece.

"That has to suck during the winter."

"You have no idea." Maxine said with a short chuckle. Just as Josh moved another piece his phone went off.

"Shit… I gotta go. My uh… my parents are waiting for me outside." Josh said as he stood. The way Maxine started to frown made him want to stay. "We can finish next week." Josh said. The way the girl's face lit up made Josh smile.

"Okay. Until then."

I am SO excited to be writing this. I have this whole thing planned out, hopefully this turns out as epic as it does in my head. I wish there were more Until Dawn fics out there. I know it's new so it'll take some time. I've watched Markipier, Pewdiepie, and Cryaotic play it (Only Pewds has finished so far but I knew the ending before then).
