Epilogue part one

(Several days after the wedding)

The sun was shinning as the teenage couple walked along the beach of the lake hand in hand. They hadn't walked far from their campsite when the girl saw something lying on the beach. "What is that?" she asked her boyfriend. The boy shielded his eyes and squinted to get a better look before his eyes widened and he took off down the beach. "What is it?" the girl cried chasing after him. The boy stopped a few feet away from the thing. The girl came up behind him and gasped as she saw what it really was. Before them lay the body of a very large man in what looked like a tattered tuxedo. His face was covered by a now brownish hockey mask. "Hey fella Are you ok?" the boy asked stepping up to the body. There was no response. "Do you think he's dead?" the girl asked walking around to the other side of the body. "I'm not sure. Go back to the camp site and grab your phone we need to call the police." the boy said leaning over to get a better look. "No I'm staying here with you I don't want to go back by myself. Besides I know CPR we need to make sure he's dead before we call the police if he's just sleeping we will get in big trouble. My parent's don't know I'm out here remember?" she said as she leaned in closer and put her head to his chest. "Mikeala don't touch him…" he said now thoroughly grossed out. The guy looked as if he had been wallowing at the bottom of the lake. Mikeala didn't listen, "I think I can feel a heartbeat." She said sitting up to pull his mask off. Suddenly a large hand grabbed her around the throat as the body suddenly came to life. Jason sat up and in one motion snapped the girls neck. The boy screamed and took off the other direction as his girlfriends body hit the sand. Jason was instantly on his feet and after the boy. He quickly over took him and had him by the throat lifting him off of the ground. Tears slid down his mask as he growled at the boy and squeezed tighter. He didn't deserve to live. Neither of them deserved to live if his Odette, his beautiful bride couldn't. The boy quickly succumbed to suffocation and his body hit the sand. Jason sank to his knees his mind body and soul still in pain. He threw his head back and roared in sorrow. He had lost the most important things that had ever meant anything to him. He hadn't been able to save Odette, and there was no telling what Dansby had done to his children, or Sora and Caleb. Jason felt completely lost. He stared at the water for what seemed like hours before he finally stood back up intent on walking back into the lake to join his beloved. Suddenly he heard a voice calling his name. He turned around wanting to answer it but couldn't. It was her, It was his bride, it was Odette! He looked all around but didn't see her. "Jason," he heard the voice now, "You must go back home Jason. You have to wait on me, my love. I'm coming back. You must protect our home for our family. You must go back. I love you." The voice echoed. He looked all around for the voice but couldn't find her. Yes, he must go back to the lake. He must wait on her. She was coming back to him. He turned and slowly began walking back towards the ranch where he would wait on his beloved.

Meanwhile

At another part of the lake in an old RV an old lady with a kind smiling face tended to her patient. She had been unconscious for days, ever since the old lady had found her in a mud and blood covered dress on the banks of the lake. Finally, stormy blue eyes fluttered open. "Well its about time dear," the old lady cooed sponging off the girls forehead. "You really had me worried, with all of those wounds and that high fervor, I was sure you were going to die! But you managed to pull through. Now tell me what on earth happened to you dear?" the old lady asked sitting down beside her. The girl looked confused, "I'm not sure, I don't remember anything." the old lady looked over her patient with concern, "Do you not even remember your name or where home is?" she asked. The girl concentrated attempting to remember. Then she slowly shook her head. I'm afraid I don't." she said looking sadly at the old lady who smiled back at her. "Well its probably just as well, in the state that I found you in, you should stay with me I would love a traveling companion! At least until you are back on your own two feet, you still have some pretty nasty wounds especially that one in your stomach why, it looks as if someone tried to run you through with a spear! By the way you have the most beautiful red hair I have ever seen, you know I used to have red hair when I was younger it was a lot like yours -" The old lady kept chattering away about her hair for some time until the girl dozed off again. She woke up again several days later to a rumbling beneath her as the RV pulled out of the campsite at the lake. Slowly and rather painfully she sat up in her bed to look out of the window at the lake they were leaving. She had the strangest feeling that there was something important there. But she couldn't remember what it was. "Oh don't worry my dear," the old lady called from the front of the RV, "I'm sure we will return here someday." The girl looked at the old woman riding in the front of the RV, "What is your name?" she asked, The old woman looked into the rear view mirror at her new companion, My name is Potts, Betty Potts," The girl said the name under her breath before she continued to look out of the window, "Yes, someday" she whispered to herself, "Someday she would return to find out what she had lost, and what she had forgotten…"

"Are you sure you want to do this kids?" Sora asked as they drove towards the lake. "Yes," The teenagers said in unison. She had wished and begged and pleaded that they ask for another graduation present besides this one but they were adamant, and she supposed they were old enough. She just did not want to come back to this place ever. After the wedding massacre, they had sold the property, who returned it back to its former glory as a camp that was now open to the public as a camp site. Shivers went down her spine as she drove down the main road through the old town that she and Odette had once driven. Caleb took a hand from the wheel to lay on her knee, "It will be ok, we knew this day was coming." Sora sighed, "I know…I know…" They finally pulled into the camp site. Everything looked the same to Sora and yet different. The main house was still there but had been converted into the office building/club house of the camp site. All of the cabins had been restored as well as more added. A pool had been added as well a Jacuzzi, and tennis courts. A new stabled had been built. Canoe racks had replaced the garden that Sora and Odette had once had. Tears threatened to stream down her face as she looked at what used to be their ranch. She wasn't sure if she would be able to stand staying here. " Mom are you alright?" Cassie asked from the back seat. "Yes I'm fine honey just…..memories." They pulled around to the main house. "I need to go check in," Caleb said jumping out of the truck. JJ, Jocelyn, and Cassie jumped out of the truck to go explore. "Don't forget we are in Cabin number twelve be ready for dinner at six. The teens ran down to the beach. Sora sat in the car watching the children, and remember. An old RV pulled past them into the camp site. Caleb came back out of the main build and got back into the truck. "Well, I do have to say I like what they have done with inside." Sora hmmmphhed at his comment and continued to stare out the window. They pulled into their cabin and Sora saw the old RV that had passed them pulled into the cabin past them at number thirteen.

Jocelyn, had decided to go on a horse ride while JJ and Cassie took out a canoe onto the lake. Jocelyn galloped on a black gelding through the woods admiring the scenery as she went. At one point she thought she saw the shadow of someone standing in trees back in the woods. She looked for the figure but it disappeared and she didn't see the low hanging branch until she was hit full in the face and knocked off her horse. Several hours later Caleb and Sora sat on the beach of the lake in front of their cabin when Cassie and JJ came flying up. "Mom, something happened to Joce she went horse back riding and the horse came back but she didn't" Sora was instantly in a panic as she and Caleb jumped up. "I'll call the front." Caleb said as they raced into the cabin. Suddenly they all froze, there on the couch lay Jocelyn peacefully sleeping with an ice pack on her head. Sora was instantly at her side, "Joce? Joce, are you ok?" she asked as Jocelyn began to wake up. "um…yea I think..I was riding…and I hit a branch.." she mumbled attempting to straighten out her vision. "How did you get back here," Caleb asked. "To be honest, I'm not sure the last thing I remember is hitting the branch." she said looking up at them. Suddenly all of the color drained from Sora's face as she remember and turned towards Caleb, "It can't be…" Suddenly there came a knock on the door. JJ went to answer it and then walked towards the kitchen. "Who was it?" Caleb asked. "Oh the lady next door, wants a cup of sugar she's all out. Really pretty, looks kind of familiar." Sora looked at Caleb before standing up and walking to the door. There stood a beautiful woman with long red hair and stormy blue eyes. She smiled at Sora who went sheet white. "Hi, My name is Claira Potts I'm sorry to intrude, I just ran out of sugar." she said still smiling. "I-I what did you say your name was?" Sora asked not believing her eyes. "Claira potts," the woman said now somewhat unsure of the woman standing in front of her. JJ came back out with the sugar, "Here you go," he said handing her the cup. "Thanks so much," she smiled again. Sora continued to stare until, "I'm sorry but have I met you somewhere before?" she asked. Claira thought for a moment before shaking her head no I don't think so…well. See ya around." she said turning to walk away.

Sora couldn't let her, "BUNNY?" she called, Claira stopped and turned now looking thoroughly confused, "I'm sorry?" Sora stepped out of the Cabin towards the other. "Bunny? Is that you?" she repeated. "I'm sorry…I've never been called that before." Claira said looking confused because the term did sound familiar. Sora was unconvinced. "Where are you from?" she asked. Claira thought for a moment, "I'm not sure… I was found" she said. "By a lake, in a muddy blood covered wedding dress.." Sora finished. Now it was Claira's turn to go white.. "How do you know that?" she asked. Sora stepped forward, "fifteen years ago, I lived here with my best friend Odette, and she fell in love and had two children. She was getting married and we were attacked, she was hurt as was her groom and they were both thrown into the lake. Now Caleb and the kids had come to the door of the cabin. Jocelyn gasped, "she looks just like mom." Claira looked up at the children and then shook her head. "I'm sorry I don't have any children. Now I need to go." she said turning away. But she was cut off. There between the two cabins stood a tall muscular figure. Slowly he stepped forward from the shadows. Everyone's jaw hit the ground. Sora and Caleb whispered, "Jason." JJ and Jocelyn whispered, "Dad?" Claira just stared. He walked up to her. "I….know. You.." she said realizing how crazy it sounded. "I've dreamed about you…" she said. Then it hit her. She had dreamed about all of them. She looked up at him, "Jason?" she asked He nodded. She turned back to Sora, "Kitty?," Sora nodded. Then she turned to the others, "Caleb, JJ, Jocelyn, and Cassie." Everyone nodded. Tears began to stream down everyone's face.

Everyone suddenly converged on her. They all hugged and cried and hugged some more. JJ and Jocelyn were reintroduced to their dad who admitted through the signs he still knew that he had picked up Jocelyn and taken her to their cabin. Odette had to be introduced to Derek, and regaled them of where she had been. Both she and Jason wanted to hear about the others lives since the accident and what happened. They spoke of how JJ, Jocelyn and Cassie were all going to school at Haddonfield college. No one wanted anyone left out of anyone's sight. Sora was even excited to see Jason and gave him a giant bear hug to prove it. That night after everyone had gone to bed and Odette promised everyone that she would be there the next morning. Jason and Odette walked out onto the dock hand in hand where they had once professed their love and nearly lost it. "You know," she said looking up at him. "Even though I didn't remember, I always knew there was something missing from my life. Some part of me that was gone. I dreamed of you so many times." Jason smiled at her and took off his mask to kiss her like he had never kissed her before. Then together they looked up into the stars finally safe and happy. They finally married and lived there at the lake with their families for the rest of their lives…
