"Hang on Kimberly; it is going to get a little tough. All the shaking is causing my hand to lose the grip." Tommy called.
They still had more then half way to go when Tommy's foot lost its grip, he was now just holding on to the bar of the trestle, by just one hand. Kimberly was still holding on to Tommy's neck.
"TOMMY!" Alyssa cried in fear that her son was going to fall.
"Tommy can you reach the bar with your other hand?" Kim asked doing her best to hang on.
"No, not with all the shaking. We are going to have to jump, I am losing my grip." Tommy answered.
"We are too high up to jump." Kim said scared.
"We don't have a choice, hang on." Tommy said.
Tommy let go of the bar and he held onto Kim as they fell through the air and landed hard on the mat that had been set up. Alyssa came running up to the kids and to help them up.
"Thomas, Kimberly are you two okay?" She asked.
"Yes, mother. I think so. Are you alright Beautiful?" Tommy asked.
Kim nodded and then turned around to see her house burning.
"It's gone! It's all gone! My mom and Pierre are gone as well." Kim cried.
Alyssa held Kimberly as she cried and walked her over to the ambulance to get her checked out. Tommy followed his mother over to the ambulance.
Amanda took over with Kim so that Alyssa can tend to her son. The EMT's put an oxygen mask over the children's faces. They were all suffering from smoke inhalation. Tommy and Kimberly had it the worse, as they were in the burning house the longest.
"I think that the kids should spend the night in the hospital." Amanda said.
"No! No hospital!" Kimberly cried.
"Kimberly Anne Hart, you have smoke inhalation. You need to be where the doctor's can keep an eye on your breathing." Mandy said.
"No hospital please!" Kim begged.
"Tommy, Jason! Can we talk to you?" Max said.
Jason and Tommy followed their father's to a private place so they can talk.
"What happened in there?" Ryan asked.
"I woke up when I thought I smelled something. Went to check it out and saw that the house was on fire. I then woke up Kim and Tommy. They left to get the others and I tried to open the window." Jason explained.
"What happened to Carri and Pierre?" Max asked.
"When Kim and I went to get them. The flames had already consumed their room. So we got Kelly, Morgan and Ayla." Tommy explained.
"Do you know how the fire started?" Ryan asked.
"Lord Zedd!" The boys said unison.
"What makes you think it is Zedd?" Max asked.
"A fire that spread way too quickly and a window that never had locks on it, now all of a sudden wouldn't open." Jason said.
"This is how we see it. Zedd started the fire to make everyone believe Kimberly died in the fire. Meanwhile he would be really holding her hostage in private and Kimberly would spend the rest of her life at his mercy." Tommy explained.
"You really think this is really all about Kimberly?" Max asked.
The boys nodded.
"We tried to get to the bottom of Kim's nightmares. We were going to initiate her nightmares and try to see what is causing them. We were planning on doing it, and then the fire started." Jason said.
Max and Ryan were talking about their plan when Kim walked up and heard what they were talking about.
"You set me up!" Kim said angry.
"We are going to go check on the others." Ryan said.
Kim waited for Ryan and Max to leave and then she laid into the boys for their plan. Mandy saw Kim with the boys and it appeared to her that Kim was upset.
"What is that all about?" Mandy asked pointed to Kim.
"Kimberly is having nightmares. Jason and Tommy were going to initiate her nightmares to see what was is causing them, she overheard them and is now giving them a piece of her mind." Max explained.
"I would say that I feel sorry for them, but I don't. They shouldn't try and initiate it, just get her through it." Alyssa said.
"What are we going to do about the kids? Kimberly is fighting us on going to the hospital. She really needs to go though. They all do." Mandy said.
"We are the parents; they will have to do what we say." Ryan said.
"What is going to happen to Kim, Kelly, Morgan and Ayla now that their parents are dead?" Alyssa asked.
