Until Dawn Rewrite - Werewolf vs Wendigos - Beth Washington x Thiam!Daughter!Reader - AU
A/n: Back on the bullshit of a video game from 2015? More likely than you think. Crossing Until Dawn over with Teen Wolf? More likely than you think too.
The original events of Teen Wolf occur way earlier for reader to be born in 1996/1997 to Thiam, in a world where it’s normal to have two fathers in that time *rolls eyes at society*
You’d been crushing on Beth Washington since the first day you met her, but you hadn’t realised until years later when Sam and Josh had been teasing you about it.
Your crush got worse after one summer when you were 16 and you underwent a supernatural change that you hadn’t told any of your friends about.
You were in the kitchen with Beth when she found the note to lure Hannah up to the guest room.
Josh and Chris were both passed out on the counter, drunk off their asses.
“Jeez Josh... once again brother, you’ve out done us all.” Beth remarked, leaving you to chuckle as you poked Chris.
“Oh my god.”
“What’s up?” You asked, walking over to see what Beth was looking at.
“What’d our naive sister get herself into now?” Beth glanced at Josh, passing you the note as you tsked.
“They really can be horrible sometimes.” You growled, looking up as Beth gasped at Hannah going past the window.
“Shit, Beth, it’s a snowstorm out there!” You exclaimed as Beth ran to Josh, trying to wake him up.
“Josh! Josh! Josh! Fuck!”
You were out of the kitchens door first when you heard Beth.
“Guys! There’s someone outside!”
“What the hell?” You mumbled, passing Beth her coat as she ran ahead of you.
“What’s going on? Where’s my sister going?”
Beth’s questions had you glancing out into the snowstorm, trying to subtly sniff out her trail.
“Ugh, it’s fine, she just can’t take a joke.” Jess grumbled, leaving you to stare at Mike.
“It was just a prank, Han!” Emily shouted out into the snow.
“What did you do?” Beth asked, noticing how you were slowly edging towards the path Hannah took.
“They were idiots, that’s what.” You growled, glaring at Mike as he spoke.
“We were just messing around, Beth, it wasn’t serious, Y/n.”
“What’s serious is that she could freeze to death, you asshole!”
Punching Mike wasn’t a great idea since your strength was at supernatural level, the crack everyone heard from your fist hitting Mike’s nose made that obvious.
You hadn’t heard Beth run after Hannah, calling them all jerks until you were being pulled back by Matt.
“I think my nose is broken, ugh, what the hell Y/n!” Mike snapped but you’d shoved Matt away to glance out into the snow to track Beth.
“Sam, nobody else follows me. Call for help if we aren’t back.” You stated, ignoring how Sam had grabbed your wrist as you ran into the snow.
“Y/n! You’re not wearing shoes!”
It didn’t matter what path Beth took after Hannah, you could track them both.
Something else was tracking them too though.
You heard it.
So you let out an animalistic warning noise, loud enough that the people at the lodge heard.
“Was that a wolf?” Ashley asked, but her question went ignored.
“Jesus, fuck, shit. Jesus, Hannah, where are you?” Beth muttered to herself, glancing around after dodging the herd of deer.
Beth wasn’t hard to track, you knew her scent.
But the smell of burning wood detered you until you heard the flamethrower and Beth muttering to herself.
“What the hell was that?”
“Hannah! Hannah! Hannah!”
“Hello?”
“Oh my god, you must be freezing!”
You heard them reunite but it wasn’t long after that you realised you needed to do something else.
You needed to protect them from whatever was hunting them.
You heard them scream so you ran faster, feeling your body shift into a more wolfish version as you ran on all fours like that was normal for you.
You saw the figure blasting fire at the creature, so you jumped at the cliff edge as the branch Beth was holding began to snap.
A scream left Beth’s lungs as your teeth clamped around her wrist, her eyes widening when she met your eyes.
You weren’t strong enough to hold up both Beth and Hannah as your grip on the cliff had you sliding off.
The last thing you saw was Beth and Hannah falling.
You were screaming.
Howling.
///
You woke up briefly when Sam found you on the doorstep at the back door, calling out to the others.
“Oh my god!”
“They’re freezing!”
“Y/n!”
“We need to get them inside!”
“Are Hannah and Beth with them? Y/n! Where the hell are my sisters!” Josh screaming didn’t help as you kept shaking, struggling to breathe as your teeth chattered.
“Josh! They’re in shock.”
“How the hell did you make it back? Y/n?”
“I, I can’t, can’t, remember...” You mumbled, ignoring Mike as you shuffled closer to Sam and Ashley.
“What happened to Beth and Hannah?”
Chris’ question wasn’t the best to ask as you began to gasp for air, the memories were hazy but one thing was for sure.
You remembered the screams before it all went black and you passed out.
“Did they just-”
“Oh crap!” Sam swore, realising immediately you’d fainted.
///
Even the idea of returning to Blackwood Mountain a year later made you want to throw up.
Sam had to persuade you after Josh guilt-tripped you about the twins’ disappearance.
You never told anyone that the memories had cleared up in your nightmares.
You knew Josh was experiencing more than grief when you saw him.
The chemosignals made you want to be sick but you played it off as feeling nauseous over the cable-car ride up.
The signals alone were enough to send you spiralling.
Sam had suggested you take a nap after someone got a fire going so you could keep warm.
Josh agreed, setting one up so you could curl up on a couch.
You didn’t know that was part of Josh’s plan so he could try get you to talk about what really happened to Hannah and Beth.
You didn’t know, because you were napping until Sam was throwing things and running around in a towel.
“Sam? What the hell is going on?”
“Hello.”
You sensed him behind you before you saw him, jumping up to stand on the couch as you took in the overalls and the skull clown mask and wig.
Tilting your head to the side, you stared at him as his scent and chemosignals prompted your realisation.
“What the fuck are you doing, Josh?”
“Josh is dead. And you’re next.”
“You wouldn’t be the first to try and fail, Josh.”
He growled at that, walking with a fury towards the couch but you jumped over it, tilting your head to the side and trying to not glow your eyes or shift.
You’d spotted a glint of a camera when you had sat on the couch, but it didn’t occur to you that everything recorded would be on the internet until you almost shifted.
Sam had escaped him by hiding in the dumbwaiter; ending up in the basement looking for clues. So that left him to set his sights on you.
“You’re doing this fuckfest of a prank because of Beth and Hannah.” You realised, dodging the blade he was holding.
“You feel guilty because you were so drunk you couldn’t move when Beth tried to wake you. You blame yourself and you blame the others because of that stupid prank. Well, guess what Josh, I blame myself because I didn’t catch them in time.”
“Catch?”
“I heard them scream, I ran over but I couldn’t reach, something grabbed me and I remember screaming then everything went black. I woke up on the porch.” You explained before gasping as Josh stabbed you in the arm with something.
“Motherf-”
///
“Oh my god!”
“What did you do to Y/n?”
You could hear Chris and Ashley before you saw them, opening your eyes to see them looking at you from where you were on the floor.
“Girl acted cocky, but she was easy to-” The Psycho taunted them, pausing as Sam and Mike rushed in.
“Jesus-” Mike was cut off as he heard ropes snapping, leaving everyone to stare at you as you stood up, completely unphased.
“How did you... that doesn’t matter-” The Psycho was cut off as Chris tried shooting him.
“Oh, Chris, Chris, Chris, you’ve heard of blanks before? I mean really?”
Your face was unreactive when Josh removed the mask, revealing himself as The Psycho.
You ignored how everyone reacted, using your claws to cut through the ropes holding Ashley in her chair as Sam tried to help Chris.
“Oh, well done, every one of you, you got my name!” Josh laughed, leaving you to gag at the chemosignals.
“How does it feel? I mean, do you enjoy feeling terrorised? Humiliated? I mean, panicked? All those emotions that my sisters got to feel once a year ago? Only guess what? They didn’t get to laugh it off! No! Nope! No! No! No! They’re gone!” Josh yelled, leaving you to tense your shoulders, ignoring how Sam had tried to check on you.
“I don’t know if you noticed this. Josh, but none of us are laughing.” Mike retorted, gaining your attention as you smelt a familiar scent on him that wasn’t his or Jessica’s.
“-It’s good to get the heart racing every now and then. And race they did, every one of you, pitter-pat, pitter-pat-”
“Every now and then? Mine hasn’t stopped since that night, I still get nightmares, I literally hear their screams, I remember the fire, I remember the taste of blood in my mouth, you think I could laugh that off!” You exclaimed, ignoring how Josh just laughed.
“You should have seen your faces! Hook line and sinker for every little stinker!” Josh exclaimed, jumping as you growled at him.
“Well he’s definitely off his meds-” Chris replied to whatever the hell Mike said that you missed.
“That and on the wrong ones entirely. Ever heard of comorbidity? Two or more conditions occuring at once with similar symptoms, can lead to misdiagnosis.” You replied, folding your arms to hide how your claws hadn’t retracted.
“Oh come on, you guys! Revenge is the best medicine!”
“You’re done!” Mike shouted, not seeing how you let out a breath, unfolding your arms to rest your hand on Ashley’s shoulder, claws returning to fingernails.
“Mike, he’s sick!” Chris exclaimed, turning his head to face Mike before looking back at Josh.
“Your fingerprints were all over this Josh, it was obviously you.” Sam’s voice was calm as she talked to Josh, unlike Mike who was raging.
“Oh really? Really, really really?” Josh rambled but Sam just kept talking.
“You’re crying out for help, Josh. Come on, you wanted to get caught, didn’t you?” Sam prompted but Josh just stared at her.
“What? Come on, you guys are all going to thank me when you guys become internet sensations!”
“Wait, what, what?” Chris mumbled before Sam grabbed your hand as you began to walk over to the visible camera.
“Oh, you guys better believe this little puppy is going viral ladies and germs. I mean we got unrequited love, obstruction of justice from Y/n over there, we got, we got blood. I don’t think there’s enough hard-drives in China to count all the views we’re going to get, you guys!”
“What are you talking about, you asshat? Jessica is dead-”
“Mike. Why do you smell like Beth?” Your question caught everyone off-guard as Mike punched Josh in the face, knocking him out.
“What?”
“Y/n?”
“Why do you smell like Beth?” You asked again but Mike ignored you, leaving Ashley and Sam to try get you to calm down, instead they backed away as your eyes glowed and you stood away from them in the corner.
///
After Chris and Mike took Josh outside, Ashley decided to ask the big question as the three of you returned to the lodge.
“Y/n, what happened to you that summer when you were 16? You changed dramatically, also, what’s with the smell thing and your eyes-”
“Some of my family got into a car accident. You saw it on the news, a lorry ran a red and they were gone. The stress of losing them activated something. Something genetic.”
“Something genetic, what was you talking about?” Sam asked, disbelief laced in her voice as Ashley remembered the story on the news and began to put the pieces together.
“You’re a werewolf.”
You sighed, nodding as you glowed your eyes and flicked your wrist, momentarily revealing your claws.
“Be lucky it’s not a full moon, the anger from the fuckfest that Josh pulled would have revealed it a lot earlier. I’m sorry I never told any of you, I wanted to, but then Beth and Hannah, oh god, if only I wasn’t so pathetic, I could have saved them both.”
“What are you talking about?” Ashley prompted as Sam just frowned, her hand on your shoulder.
“Y/n, you’re not pathetic-”
“I literally had Beth’s wrist in my mouth because I was slipping off the fucking cliff. Something was hunting us that night and someone with a flamethrower was hunting it too. That blood in my mouth I can taste when I remember? It’s Beth’s blood. I pinned my arms into the cliff but it wasn’t enough. I wasn’t enough.” You whimpered, head in your hands as Ashley and Sam stared at each other, realising what had happened.
“I told those two Rangers that they should search the mines. I don’t know what happened after that.” You admitted, tensing as Chris returned.
///
“Let me in! Let me IN!”
“Is that-” Ashley began but Sam cut her off, running to the door.
“It’s Em!”
“Let her in! Quick!” Chris exclaimed, opening the door.
“Shut the door! Oh my god! Shut the door!” Emily yelled as she fell in the doorway, shuffling away from the door as Ashley and Sam helped her up.
“Em, you alright?”
“I didn’t think I’d make it.” Emily admitted, shuffling further into the lodge.
“You were screaming bloody murder.” Chris stated, noticing how you were staring at the door, tilting your head to the side to listen, ignoring the conversations on the couch.
“I was walking in the dark, and I found this pile and there was a head with a Ranger hat on it-”
“No, no, no, no, no-” You perked up then, realising what happened.
“I told those Rangers to search the mines because that’s where I saw Beth and Hannah fall into.”
“What, you saw them fall?” Chris began but Sam had already sprung into action, wrapping her arm around you to calm you down as you hyperventiltated.
“Listen, in the tower, there was a radio and I, I got through to someone, but that was right when the tower collapsed!”
You didn’t hear Mike run in, you were busy using Sam as a comfort blanket, your face pressed into her shoulder.
“Em! You made it!”
“Oh god, Mike-”
You removed your head from Sam’s shoulder when you smelt another scent you knew, darting towards the door before anyone could stop you.
“Y/n, what the fuck-”
///
“You shouldn’t have been so quick to open the door... wait, it’s you.” The Stranger recognised you instantly, but you didn’t react to him, charging at his accomplice as you recognised her.
“Hannah!”
“How did you... oh, you could smell me, couldn’t you?” Hannah replied, noticing how you’d began to cry.
“There’s no time for tears, Y/n, come on.” Hannah coaxed you inside where The Stranger was dealing with Chris and Mike.
“Holy shit-”
“I’m here to tell you what you’re up against on this mountain. You should have never returned. I don’t know why you did after everything last year.” The Stranger grumbled, using his flamethrower to light the fire.
“You mean with Hannah and Beth-”
“I remember you, you were there. You pulled me back from falling off the cliff.” You burst out, leaving everyone to go silent as The Stranger grunted.
“Falling? You were about to jump off the damn cliff.” You feel silent after that, feeling Hannah and Sam stare at you for a moment.
“This mountain belongs to the Wendigo.”
“Who?” Chris asked, sitting up as Sam looked confused. “What’s he talking about?”
“Now I’m only going to tell you this once. It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. I got reasons I want to... get it off my chest.”
“See I told you-”
Your growl cut Mike off, spooking everyone except Hannah and The Stranger, who didn’t react.
“There is a curse. That dwells in these mountains. Should any man or woman resort to cannabalism in these woods, the spirit of the Wendigo shall be unleashed.”
“Oh crap.” Mike whispered as he remembered what he’d seen earlier in the night.
“You’re going to need to find somewhere safe and keep the werewolf with you if you want any chance of survival.” The Stranger instructed, staring at you as Chris, Emily and Mike looked confused.
“The basement might be okay.” Sam suggested, leaving The Stranger to nod.
“Okay. Get down there, now. All of you. And wait.”
“What? Why? And for how long?” Sam asked, gaining a reply from Hannah and Emily.
“Until dawn.”
“Until dawn.”
“Guys, I ran out and left Josh when I heard screaming.” Mike realised, leaving everyone to look at him in shock.
“Where did you leave him?”
“In the shed.” Mike answered The Stranger’s question, who looked grimly in response.
“Your friend will already be dead-”
“What? Josh? No...” Hannah began, panicking as you stood up, heading to the basement as Chris argued to save Josh.
You were sat on the floor when Sam, Ashley, Mike, Emily and Hannah walked in.
“Hannah, where’s Beth? I know she’s alive, I smelt her scent on Mike.” You stated, leaving Emily to give Mike a warning look as he raised his hands in a confused surrender.
“When you tried to save us, you bit Beth’s arm. She was badly injured in the fall but since it was the full moon the next night, she didn’t die, instead, she turned. She turned into a wolf and hasn’t been able to turn back since. We managed to get out of the mines and ran into Jack, but, I couldn’t go home with Beth like that.” Hannah explained, leaving Mike to realise.
“There were wolves at the Sanatorium.”
You just rolled your eyes at this, wrapping your arms around your knees as Hannah just stared at you.
“Beth’s out there somewhere, I think she smelt something but now that I think about it, I think she smelt you when you arrived with Sammy.” Hannah explained as the others looked through The Stranger’s belongings.
Luckily Hannah had been able to de-escalate a potential situation, explaining that Wendigo bites didn’t turn anyone and that only happened with werewolves and fictional supernatural creatures like vampires and zombies.
“Wait, so Y/n can turn other people into werewolves by biting them?” Emily asked, slightly freaking out as you looked boredly at her.
“You’re not my type, Em. Also I’m not going to go around biting people, I didn’t even know I could do that when I tried to help Beth.”
“Yeah, well, I’m pretty sure that was the only reason Beth survived the fall, Y/n.” Hannah deadpanned, noticing how you were shaking as Sam sat next to you, leaving Ashley to follow as they passed The Stranger’s book back to Hannah.
///
After Mike left to find Josh for the cable car keys, Sam, Chris, Emily and Ash went after him.
You and Hannah stayed behind, much to their reluctance but you knew Beth was out there somewhere.
You didn’t know that Mike had found wolf!Beth and Wolfie when he returned to the Sanatorium, after running from a Wendigo and barricading the door, only wolf!Beth followed Mike down the hole, Wolfie instead deciding to stay behind, safe in the barricaded room.
///
“We should have gone with them.” You admitted, leaving Hannah to sigh.
“I’m sorry Hannah, about everything, I-”
Your apology was cut off as Chris, Emily and Ashley ran through, leaving the two of you to follow as you realised what was happening.
The five of you ran out of the basement, the other three yelling as you all bumped into Mike and Sam as wolf!Beth had remained outside.
You were all upstairs, attempting to leave the lodge until you spotted the Ranger!Wendigo on the chandelier.
You all froze as the Wendigos began to fight each other, the Ranger!Wendigo winning as Mike and Sam made a plan.
Sam kept the wendigos distracted as Mike broke a bulb, it was only when the Ranger!Wendigo screamed in Sam’s ear that you growled back, gaining it’s attention so it went over to you instead of Sam.
Chris, Emily and Ashley were already out at this point, you had a sick feeling Sam was now deaf in one ear thanks to the screech but you stayed still, leaving the wendigo to shift away from you as Hannah slipped out.
Mike was lingering near the door as the wendigos switched between you and Sam, before you shoved Sam out of the way, shifting to attack the wendigo and send it flying into the Ranger!Wendigo, who killed it.
You shifted back and ran at this point, Mike and Sam were outside when they heard the explosion, seeing your body fly out of the door as you’d hit the switch with your claws.
“Holy-”
“Y/n!”
You’d managed to sit up when something tackled you, a hand on your cheek as you opened your eyes to stare into the eyes of a human Beth Washington, a lot more scruffy than you remembered. You didn’t have much of a chance to stare at her though as she pressed her lips to yours, kissing you roughly.
“Beth! You’re, you’re naked!” You exclaimed as the two of you broke apart, quickly shedding your jacket and hoodie to cover her.
The screech of the Wendigo spirit leaving the burning lodge had you panicking, noticing it almost flying at Sam and Mike as it left the flaming structure.
“Sam!” You shouted, watching as Sam and Hannah ran over, dodging the spirit in the process.
“Beth! Oh my god!”
Everyone stared up at the helicopter hovering over the lodge as you stood in a t-shirt with Beth and Hannah on either side of you, Beth holding your hand tightly as Hannah had a hand on your shoulder.
It was then that you looked over at Mike to ask.
“Mike! What happened to Josh?”
“We have visual. The main structure is completely destroyed, over.”
“Hold on, I’m seeing something. It looks like there are survivors.”
“Let’s pick ‘em up.”
///
The shock finally overtook everyone when you were sat on the helicopters.
You’d zoned out, staring at the floor as Beth and Hannah mourned over what had happened to Josh in the mines.
You stayed zoned out until you were in an interview room and a policeman was trying to ask you questions.
They had to practically pry you away from Beth, the two of you almost growling at the idea before you remembered the police are idiots with guns.
“Y/n, why did you tell those two Rangers to check the mines last year?”
“I saw the twins fall off the cliff down through a hole. I thought they’d find them, even find their bodies but, something went wrong-”
“What’s wrong is you’re interviewing these teenagers without a lawyer present!” The voice was loud enough that the other survivors heard, noticing how Beth had sat up, sniffing the air slightly.
“Another wolf?” Hannah prompted but the question was already answered.
“Dad!”
The others exchanged looks as they heard your voice, not recognising the man as your father as they’d met your other dad instead years ago.
“You’re interrupting the interview, sir-”
“Theo Raeken. Y/n’s father.”
“Y/n’s surname is Dunbar.” the policeman replied, not knowing his mistake as Theo glared at you tensed up.
“Legally, it’s Dunbar-Raeken. this interview is over, all of the recovered victims from Blackwell Mountain should be in hospital, there’s one out there missing fingers and two of the girls out there were reported missing a year ago!” Your father exclaimed, leaving the policeman to just timidly nod, moving to order a hospital transport.
“Hi dad.” You mumbled, tensing as your father looked at you, watching his eyes soften.
“God, you remind me so much of Liam. C’mon, we should help your friends.” Your father replied, offering you his hand.
He smirked as he spotted how you automatically went to Beth, but said nothing, instead chosing to help Mike with Jessica.
pro tip: if you sorta start to have feelings for a guy but you don’t want to have said feelings, then simply ask them to have a conversation with you about smth regarding women’s lives in a world built by men....the jokes and borderline offensive answers will turn you off so much you’ll remember why men have no rights
i think the fact that so many people have a hard time separating their hatred of qualice from their feelings about alice (by that i mean y’all hate her for no fucking reason of her own) further shows that the writers should’ve continued to give her a narrative that differed from q’s, because nobody can view her without the context of her romantic relationship, and that is totally the writer’s fault. they have never give her agency in a narrative, not once. even when she died and became a being constructed purely of magic, power and freedom, she was trapped with q, both literally and narratively. she has always been tied to him, her story has always revolved around his, and even when he totally stripped her of her agency and she had to rebuild herself from scratch, they still drew her back to him, and he doesn’t have the same limitations at all. he’s had multiple romantic and sexual interests outside of her and many solo storylines, yet she never exists in any meaningful way outside of her relation with him until, for a little while, this season.
