Note: I probably won't continue this since the book came out :( I am also in college and I don't have much time. That and I have my own stories to work on. However, if anyone really wants to read some of the things I have wrote, just PM me. I wouldn't mind having some people to give me some feedback. It's always helpful. Otherwise, thanks for all the comments. It's really nice to know people enjoyed my writing.

Lena

Days had passed and, even though Lena had her will to live renewed, she had come no further in creating a New Order, no closer to bring Ethan back to her… Liv, John and Link had no luck either and they had been looking for longer. Even if she had found not one thing to help, Lena refused to give up. She needed to get Ethan back. If there was even a small chance to bring him back, she would do everything in her power to do so. But she had no idea on how to create a New Order, let alone find a way to bring Ethan back with it. S

She was in the Caster libraries again with as many books as she could carry on the table. Each opened up and then pushed aside when no information had been found.

"This is impossible!" she yelled sweeping her arm across the table causing the large dusty tomes to smack heavily on the ground. She had been there for last few days, hardly even sleeping, and she had nothing to show for it. What she was trying to do had never been done and there was no book on it… She shut the only book left on the table and leaned back rubbing her eyes. She was so tired…

Ethan was there sitting across the table with her looking through books.

"Don't worry L," he said smiling up at her with his amazing smile. "We will find a way to save you. I promise, even if I have to stay here until your birthday." Lena shook blinked her eyes, and Ethan was gone. Only a memory. Ethan had been willing to do anything to make sure she had been safe. It was her turn now, Ethan was the one who needed help this time. She was going to save him. She pushed herself out of her chair and went back into the stacks.

Amma

Amma's kitchen was running full power now. Her first few days after Ethan's death were nothing now. She was as determined as Lena to find a way to bring him back, if not more so. On the window sills, the counters, the table, the top of the fridge, anywhere there was free space; Amma had placed a pie to cool. In the center of the table surrounded by pies sat many bottles of liquor. She was just pulling out her last pie when Ethan's dad walked into the kitchen nose high up in the air smelling.

"Wow!" he said looking around the room. "What's the occasion for all the pies?" he went to touch one but the old lady smacked at his hand with her One Eyed Menace. He chuckled and withdrew his hand.

"They are for the town. After such a disaster I believe they need something." She had the lie planned as soon as she had made the first pie. She would never tell him they were all going to the Greats. Surely they would know something about the New Order or bring Ethan back.

"I could have sworn you didn't much care for the people of this town Amma," he said trying to sneak another pie only to be hit again from Amma who wasn't watching him.

"Such a tragedy, I think I can put my feelings aside for a while." He shrugged and went to the fridge since she refused to allow him a pie.

"Have you seen Ethan lately?" he asked moving things around in the fridge looking for something to eat. Amma shrugged and set her last pie down on the last available counter space.

"I think he is still helping with cleanup of the town," she said quickly. He shut the fridge.

"Maybe I should go help. Be good bonding time right?" Amma was silent for a moment. She couldn't think of anything to say.

"Maybe not. Ethan and Lena do need some time alone as well…" she said unsure.

"Oh come on, I won't cramp their style. It would be nice to spend some time with the both of them."

"What about your book?" Amma asked. He waved it off.

"It can wait…" He left the kitchen with a plate of left overs saying he'd try and find Ethan later. Amma sighed and began packing the car with her offerings while trying to think of a way to prevent telling Mitchell the truth.

Ethan'

Turns out the world of the dead, and the world of the living are the same place, just one had dead people, and one has living… Not a good explanation I know, it looked the same, except there were some dead people around instead. It kind of looked how I imagined Aunt Dell to see. Different points in time seemed to be there. Some were in focus; some seemed to be slipping away,

"What do you think?" my mom asked from my side. I looked up at her again and smiled. I hadn't seen her for so long. I could hug her, which was worth dying for almost.

"I'm not sure… It doesn't seem like what I thought. This is a pretty odd heaven." She laughed and put her arm around me.

"This is only a pit-stop to the Great Beyond," she said waving her arm around displaying the area. "Everyone here is here with a purpose, what that is, I can't say. I know mine was to keep you safe. Now it is to get you back."

"I can get back?" I asked dumbfounded. I could go back to Lena! When I visited her, it was terrible. I hated seeing her so broken, but I could fix it. But I would be leaving my mom… Who I had missed for so long. She had missed watching me grow to the man I was… Had been… But I didn't want to be dead.

"Of course." she said smiling at me. She grabbed my hand and we began to walk. As we did, she told of this place. There wasn't much to do, but she was lucky enough to have her books still. In death, she had learned much more than she had in life. It didn't surprise me much. In life she spent all of her time reading, why should death stop her?

"How did you get to visit me those times?" The Lillum had said he could visit both worlds, but he didn't know how his mother did.

"It took a lot of effort, and the thought of seeing you again helped. I have missed you so much my boy." I gave her a side hug as we kept walking. We came up to a large house that I hadn't seen around town before. In fact, I stopped seeing familiar houses some time ago, but had not really noticed.

"Who lives here?" I asked as we went up the steps.

"You'll see," my mother said knocking.
