Cheryl felt a hand grip her shoulder and she began coughing from the smoke inhalation. The hand pulled her up to her knees and after rubbing her eyes, she saw that the figure was Adie's. "

Are you ok?" Adie asked her hoarsely.

"A little bruised that's all. What about everyone else?"

I don't know I can't see them. There's too much smoke. I can distantly read a few minds though; Kevin's for one thing. I can tell it's his mind because he's worrying about Wendy and baby Jason but I can't tell who the other minds belong to. But I do know one thing; I can't read Wendy's mind." Adie informed her grimly.

Cheryl pushed away the terrible possibilities from her mind and listened to her surroundings. She could hear the rushing footsteps of other people probably the cops, loud sirens, and many yells. She checked her leg's condition and after finding no broken bones or sprains, she stood up. She helped Adie up and the two began pacing through the smoky hall in search of their friends.

Adie was waving her arm, telekinetically moving smoke away from them but it was a surprisingly difficult task.

The explosion had blown apart the door to the clinic which was obvious by the gaping hole in the crisped room and the dented door on the floor.

The door, Cheryl thought. Joshua had been opening it when the room had blown up. Where was he? It looked as if Adie had read her mind because Cheryl heard a gasp next to her. She almost tripped over something and when her eyes darted to the floor she saw that it was someone's arm. Cheryl dropped to the floor and shoved all the burnt clutter of the wall off the person. It was Wendy. And she wasn't breathing. Adie immediately dove to the floor with her and the two slung an arm under Wendy's arms, bringing her up. "We need help over here!" Adie cried out. Wendy's head was bleeding profusely and Cheryl still could not feel a heartbeat.

A groaning sound from behind her startled Cheryl. She turned her head and saw a figure moving; it was Freddy. Even in the veil of thick smoke his hair stood out. Speaking of smoke, it was filling up Cheryl's lungs and her insides burned as she let go of Wendy's still body and hurried over to Freddy. When he caught sight of her he held out his hand for some help. Cheryl took his hand and raised him gently from the floor. "Nicki." He mumbled.

Cheryl rose an eyebrow in confusion but saw what he meant when a body on the floor besides him stirred; it was Nicki. "Can you stand by yourself?" she questioned him.

Freddy shook his head in a silent 'yes'. He let go of Cheryl's hand and she ushered to the floor next to Nicki. Nicki looked all right at first glance but then Cheryl noticed a massive wound on her leg.

"Help!" Cheryl cried out.

This time help actually did arrive in the form of two policeman wearing face masks. They began tending to Nicki and Wendy while Freddy tried to assist them in any way possible. Cheryl was about to relax when she remembered the people who were still unaccounted for; Joshua, Miles, Kevin, and Jason. She started to walk away when Adie grabbed her arm from behind.

"You're next on the list remember? You can't go off on your own until we can get everyone out of here and beat the damn list."

Cheryl commenced to protest but Adie waved her hand and Cheryl was inched away to where the paramedics were.

*** Adie coughed as the smoke entered her nostrils. "Kevin! Joshua! Miles!" she called out meekly.

No response.

She heard the small embers of the explosion crackle in the distance but no voices. Then she focused her energy on reading Kevin's mind. He was thinking about how to get out from the smoke and how his family was doing. Adie frowned when she still couldn't find his location.

Suddenly, there was a horrified sob that reached her ears. Adie ran to it not bothering to try and read whose mind it was. But she didn't have to because she soon saw a tuft of blonde hair in the distance and recognized Miles. He was thrown over a burnt body and was crying his eyes out. Adie gulped and placed a trembling hand on Miles's shoulder. He spun around, tears running down his bright eyes. He shrugged off Adie's hand and shrank away from the body. Adie hesitantly moved forward and what she saw made her let out the biggest scream that still haunted everyone who heard it to this day. There was a familiar golden locket hanging from the corpse's neck. It was Joshua's burnt corpse.

***Cheryl held the blanket that had been draped over her by Freddy tightly. What she had seen today had permanently scarred her.

After Adie's yell, Cheryl had ignored her warnings and had dashed to where she was only to find the disgustingly charred body of Joshua. They were then pulled away by some policeman but that hadn't stopped her from catching a glimpse of Alex's completely fried body. After that, all she remembered was being sat down on the cemented floor next to an ambulance and visited by a distraught Freddy. Kevin had been found holding baby Jason to his chest and wandering around aimlessly in the smoky hall. He had almost fainted due to smoke inhalation. Kevin had gotten off with just a few scrapes and bumps but baby Jason had been an inch away from death. He had suffered no burns but being dropped on the head was no picnic either. But at least he was fine now, being held by Nicki whose leg had been wrapped up.

Wendy was at the hospital being treated of her head wound with Kevin by her side.

Miles and Adie were both sitting together in the ambulance, staring blankly at the sky. Seeing your best friend and your brother's dead body was enough for anyone.

"Are you ok, Cheryl?" Freddy's voice inquired.

Cheryl turned to look at him and looked away. "I'm ok." She said gruffly.

Freddy didn't get the hint to go away and instead he sat down next to her. "You're next on the list." He stated.

Cheryl clenched her fist. "I know that already but thank you for pointing it out."

Freddy still didn't leave. "I'm not trying to make you feel bad. I just want to make sure that you're not going to do some dumb-ass thing and get yourself killed."

Cheryl stood up angrily. "I'm not an idiot! I KNOW that I'm next and I know that I'm in danger. And I don't need you of all people pointing it out after all the messed up shit I've gone through today." She was on the brink of tears now but she didn't care.

A stony sad look crossed Freddy's face. "I'm sorry." He said simply and walked away.

Cheryl stood shock still. She hated it when people went along with her anger or gave her sympathy as if she was some charity case!

She wanted to-SCREECH! An out of control squad car raced towards her! Before Cheryl could dive out of the way, Freddy grabbed her from behind and pushed her to the rough cemented floor.

The squad car missed them.

Cheryl's body shook in fear as she got to her knees. Freddy was on the floor next to her, panting. Cheryl chewed on her bottom lip in thought. Her death had been intervened. But Wendy said that the list would start up again. It would come back for Freddy, Nicki, and her. But she wasn't going to let that happen.

Adie, Miles, and Nicki hastened to her side but she was still deep in thought and didn't even notice.

The chain can be broken if something shakes it up. She knew exactly what she had to do.

The police car crashed into a metal pole and it blew up, sending the roof and windshield to the sky but the hood and rear wheels backwards. Cheryl felt the cold dangerous feeling creep inside her and knew that Death was coming. She got to her feet but Freddy held her back. Cheryl got the feeling that maybe he had a hunch on what she was about to do because his expression was alarmed and his eyes were sad. "Don't" he whispered urgently.

Cheryl laughed. The weirdest boy in school was telling her what not to do. She heard the whoosh of what she knew to be Death coming at them in an inventive way and smirked at Freddy. "I know what to do." She assured him. And with that she impulsively planted a kiss on his cheek and to everyone's surprise and fright, she pounced to where Nicki was, shoving her to the side. The hood of the police car and the rear wheels missed Nicki but the hood struck Cheryl in the waist splitting her body in half and the two wheels crushed her head like a watermelon! Her blood sprayed everyone watching and the outside of the police station echoed with screams, Cheryl's body still wriggling horridly.

A week later

*** Cheryl's death had broken the chain. She was meant to die last and by dying before Nicki and Freddy she had saved both of their lives. And for that, everyone was immensely grateful. They all visited her grave weekly, along with everyone else who had perished in Death's hands. Wendy had recovered fully from her head injury. She returned to Yale and was now practicing several magical rituals for reasons that she didn't reveal to anyone. Kevin had graduated from the Academy and was now working at the McKinley police station which was being renovated due to its lack of a prison clinic. They both took care of Jason more often now that life was calmer. Miles had returned back to school after spending dismal week mourning. The day before leaving town, he had visited the family mausoleum where his parents and Joshua now rested. He had left the first guitar his brother had ever given him right in front of his casket. Adie had gone with him and left a rose by his casket. The two had become a loose definition of the word 'friends'. As for Nicki and Freddy, their lives were quiet too. Nicki stopped obsessing over her Brother Zach's death and started to live life to its fullest again. She had a new boyfriend and her bubbly attitude had come back giving her tons of new friends as well. Freddy had taken a more serious take on life but he was still his same goofy self. He'd decided to go to college too and was planning on making something of himself.

*** Wendy took some powdered incense and threw some into the totally cliché bubbling cauldron. Kevin walked into the room and automatically sighed. "Again? Wendy you have got to lay off on all this voodoo stuff."

Wendy passed a hand over the cauldron chanting in her head.

"First of all, it's not voodoo. And second of all, I'm almost done. And when I finish it's going to be worth the wait." She explained blandly.

Kevin curiously came to her side and she seized his hand. She threw some more powdery incense and there was a blur of smoke.

*** Wendy's eyes flickered open. She was in a misty heaven-like place and Kevin was by her side, looking around in obvious confusion. Several unknown figures began to surround them and Wendy narrowed her eyes, warily. Then one of the figures stepped forward and it was Jason her dead boyfriend!

"Jason…." She murmured.

Kevin stiffened at her side when yet another figure came forward. It was Carrie, her dead best friend.

"Wendy, where the hell are we?" Kevin asked her evenly.

"We're in Death's domain." She replied.

At her words the mist suddenly turned black and a new taller figure appeared. It edged forward and Wendy stepped in front of Kevin.

"I'm just here to tell you to stop fucking with us. You may have been able to take a bunch of people and I'll give you that but some of us are still alive. Some of us have beat you." She hissed.

The dark figure came forward and in an even more cliché situation, it turned out to be a cloaked person with a black hood draped over their head. He waved a hand and the other figures revealed themselves to be all the ones that had perished in the accidents. Among them were all the visionaries; Alex Browning, Kimberly Corman, and Cheryl. Some of the faces that her eyes fell upon were Terry Chaney's, Erin Ulmer's, Kat Jennings's, Joshua's, Courtney Carvel's, and Ian McKinley's. They were all looking at her and Kevin with intent yet serene eyes.

"It seems I've gotten more than I've lost." The dark figure jeered.

Wendy sniffed. "So you're just going to keep chasing us until you get us huh? You're wasting your time then because we're not going to give up. We've learned a lot about your designs by now if you haven't noticed. And we're getting better at reading the signs and intervening in other deaths. You can keep hitting us with your best shot but we'll just keep coming. It's over." She finalized it.

The dark figure didn't speak.

"She got you there." Ian McKinley spoke up.

The other figures laughed softly.

Then they all disappeared in a flurry of smoke. Death stepped back into the black fog and disappeared too. Wendy and Kevin followed suit.

*** They appeared back home and Kevin whistled. "T-that was intense." Wendy nodded. "Life is intense." Baby Jason started crying and they trotted to his room.

5 Months later

The five survivors and Miles sat in the upscale restaurant picking at their salads. Nicki closed her laptop and chuckled. "You guys actually did it. Not a single reported 'incident' like ours." She informed them.

Adie raised her champagne glass. "Amen to that!"

They all laughed and clinked their glasses.

"For all we know we could die in this restaurant today." Freddy pointed out jokingly.

Miles punched him. "Dude, do not joke about something like that!"

Freddy raised his arms. "It's true! Just because Wendy and Kevin gave Death a piece of their mind doesn't mean that you're all safe."

Kevin scoffed. "Please don't ruin the mood!"

Wendy giggled. "Death won't come for us."

Everyone eyed her.

"And you know how?" Adie asked.

Wendy pursed her lips. "It's just…I kinda felt that when I told him how we were just going to keep on going he got the point. And also…" she trailed off. "

What?" everyone else asked simultaneously.

"Ok I know this is going to sound really stupid but when we were up there and all the people who died disappeared I got this feeling as if they had been freed. Released from Death's grip. And now I feel as if they're….watching over us."

"Seriously?" Nicki questioned.

Wendy smiled sadly. "Yeah."

Adie broke the silence by holding up her glass again. "Here's to all of our friends and to everyone else who died because of Death's Design."

They all raised their glasses in agreement.

And we live in a beautiful world

They clinked their glasses against each other and honored everyone.

Yeah we do, yeah we do

And lastly to Rebecca, Natalie, Eli Cade, Maddie Devvie, Alex Thebes, Joshua Rocket, and Cheryl McKenna.

Author's Note: And that's it! I hope the deaths were thrilling enough for you and that you enjoyed this chapter and basically the whole story. The song that's used in the end is "Don't Panic" by Coldplay. I was worried that the ending would be a little cheesy but I'm going with my gut and sticking with this. I'd like to thank everyone for reading, reviewing, and creating a character. I won't be making a sequel to this sequel but I might make another create your own character story soon. Not sure if I forgot anyone in the list of people who died in the movies and stories. Lastly, the whole meeting death part was kind eh to me so let me know if it really did suck as much as I think it did. You guys all rock and thank you soooo much for reading! Oh and thanks to Final Destination Wiki. com for the help on the names of all of the people who died!

I did decide to write another sequel it's called Final Destination: It's Not Over Yet. Hope you like it!
