"I don't understand…One minute we're having a good time at homecoming and the next she's gone." Qwerty stuttered.

"Qwerty, you have to calm down." Tyler said getting annoyed quickly.

"Calm down? She's dead!" she exclaimed looking through the window in which her best friend once was "This isn't something you can just fix. Those guys killed her with whatever they hit her with."

Tyler looked at Caleb who stood behind her. Caleb like the rest of them was having problems recognizing the fact that she was gone. He looked as if he'd just been tazered and was now numb from it. They'd already shipped her to the morgue. Reid had gone AWOL. Qwerty was shaking.

"Caleb." Tyler said still replaying what Qwerty had just said through his head.

Caleb looked up blankly. Tyler handed her off to him and the two of them just took a seat in the seats across from the hospital room. Tyler walked off barely able to keep a handle on his thoughts. Turning the corner that led toward the elevator he 'used' then walked through the door close by that originally led into a utility closet thereby him walking into the morgue instead.

So I've never seen a dead body before…not really. I wouldn't even look at my mom's body, but maybe she won't stay dead…

Tyler looked over at the metal gurney that sat in the middle of the room with the large surgical light overhead and shivered.

This is so wrong.

Then looking over he saw multiple coolers which he imagined to be for the dead bodies. Rushing over he searched the names on each one until he found hers. Gulping, he opened it and pulled out the sliding metal bed inside. It came out and stopped with a loud clink. Tyler pulled back the sheet over the body that laid on top of it down to her shoulders. They had cleaned up her arm before putting her in there. Tyler stared at Kat for a few minutes. Now he wasn't sure if he could do it. all he knew was that he had to try. He'd seen what it was like for someone to die and he didn't want that to be an option.

"Kat." he breathed as his thumb brushed along her forehead tenderly.

Tyler's eyes turned dark and his only focus was on her and her not dying. As his touch didn't fall from her he started to shake. Blood trickled from his nose, but he still didn't stop. He knew that this had happened because of them, because she knew them. He didn't want to give up, not yet. She didn't move or even breathe.

"Please." He muttered when he'd finally let go and his eyes faded back to blue.

Tyler slid to the floor and cradled his head in his hands. She was really gone. He sniffled as he sat there.

On the gurney however, he didn't see her arm as it had completely healed with only a scar remaining.

What's going on? I don't understand…it's so dark. Somebody wake me up!

"How could this happen? How could you do that to her? I know I don't understand what you people think you are and I don't plan to, but how could you let her be in this. You now know what she's been through; she wanted nothing more than to start over trust me I know, I listened to her. You ruined it…" Qwerty snarled at Caleb now putting her tears aside for anger "You killed her."

Caleb believed her too. She knew everything and even continued to stay when he should've listened to his instincts and have her leave. Now she was dead. Reid had gone to god knows where. He was taking it just as hard. Caleb lifted his head to look at her. She looked back at him with pure hatred and fury.

Then she looked away swearing that she heard someone say her name. She looked down the hall and in a second her eyes enlarged to saucers.

"It's them." She whispered.

Caleb followed her gaze.

"Let's go." He said quickly as he grabbed her hand and started running down the same hall towards the elevator that Tyler did.

Qwerty hit the elevator button multiple times hoping that with some luck the elevator would come faster. Caleb watched as the men that Qwerty and Kat had described were getting closer, but hadn't entirely discovered them yet. They were looking though. Qwerty yanked him into the elevator when it opened.

"What do they want?" her voice quivered.

"Us and they know that they can get that through you." He said.

"How do you know that?" she asked.

"Did you not see what happened a few hours ago? You know, the books flying around the cellar?" he said harshly.

"Oh. Well, you can't be mad at me! It's hard taking all this in, I don't know how Kat did it." she snapped back.

The elevator dinged telling them that they were on the first floor. Caleb hadn't let go of her and now hastily made his way for the entrance while pulling out his cell phone and dialing Tyler's number. Caleb listened to it ring, but there was no answer. He tried again and there was still no answer.

Caleb let go of Qwerty when they reached the parking lot.

"What about the others?" she asked as they made for his car.

"They'll get out." he said as he got Tyler's voicemail "Tyler, I don't know where you are, but get the hell out of the hospital. Now."

Kat gasped in air and coughed as she bolted upright, her eyes wide and terrified. Tyler just as scared jumped to his feet and caught her by the shoulders before she fell off the metal bed. She looked around wildly confused.

"What happened? Where am I?" she asked scared.

"Relax," Tyler told her "you're in the morgue."

"What!" she exclaimed.

"You died…" he trailed off as he lifted her up off the bed then slid it back into the cooler and shut the door.

Kat held the plastic sheeting tight around her as she looked around. She scoffed in disbelief.

"Wow, uh, can we leave. This place creeps me out. I'll process it later." She said turning to look back at him.

Tyler turned around as she put on a set of scrubs nearby. As he did he saw a filing cabinet and went over to it. Searching through it he finally pulled out a slip of paper and folded it up before putting it in his pocket. Turning back around, he shrugged off his jacket and gave it to her as she still shivered. As she put it on he saw the scar on her arm where the wound had once been and touched it curiously.

"It's warm." He mumbled.

She pulled the jacket on tightly feeling a little uncomfortable still. Both of them jumped out of their skin as the door behind them slammed open. Scarface and ponytail rushed in and Tyler grabbed Kat tightly.

"No again." She breathed.

As a bright flash was thrown towards Kat and Tyler, they disappeared in a swirl of black smoke.

"Shit." Scarface mumbled.

"The boss isn't going to be happy." Ponytail said.

Scarface growled and hit ponytail with the force of ten men sending him backwards. He fell back onto the metal gurney in the middle of the room causing it and him to crash to the floor.

"We're going to find them, and those girls are their weakness or didn't you notice that she was supposed to be dead!" scarface yelled "They won't go far."

"What just happened?" Kat asked when they appeared in the middle of the living room of the house.

"I don't know. I just thought about getting out of there and-"

"You used?" Kat asked "Let me guess, you used to-"

She gestured at herself. Tyler only nodded. Kat hit him in the arm right then. Then she hit him again.

"Whoa, what's going on? Did I miss something?"

Kat jumped and hid behind Tyler whom she had been hitting and saw a guy with sandy blonde hair and green eyes who looked to be her own age suddenly in the room and leaning against the wall near the table where the Ouija board was.

"What's wrong Kat?" Tyler asked dismissing the violence she had inflicted on him.

"Who are you? Wh-what do you want? I'll stick him on you, I swear!" she stammered talking about Tyler beside her afraid that the young man was like the guys in the trench coats.

"It's me Kat, Ryan." He said trying not to laugh.

"Oh…" she said then just pointed past Tyler.

"But…I don't understand." She mumbled.

Tyler watched as she reached past him at nothing. He wondered if she was now losing her mind. After all that had happened in the last few days he wouldn't be surprised or at least shouldn't be. He just looked in the general direction she reached out.

"Neither do I." Ryan admitted "Are you dead too?"

She shook her head quickly.

"Then how can you see me?"

"I did die…" she trailed off as she self consciously touched her arm now.

All three of them screamed as the door opened and Caleb and Qwerty came in. Both of them froze as they stared at Kat standing there in the middle of the living room. Kat looked at them then at Ryan.

"Is that really her? nah, nunnnun…" Qwerty squeaked as she fainted and hit the floor with a thud.

"I wish I could say I've seen stranger things, but these days there's always something…stranger." Caleb said as he was making his was over to Kat.

He hugged her tightly making it hard for her to breathe. When he let go she inhaled deeply.

"How?" he asked and Kat just looked at Tyler.

Caleb looked at him expectantly. Tyler tried to smile, but it turned into a half grimace and him scratching the back of his head.

"I'm going to help Qwerty." He said and picked her up then carried her up stairs.

"I don't know what happened? I didn't even know I died Caleb." Kat said "I know a few things for sure though."

"Oh?"

"The scar on my arm from when those men hit me is warm like it's more than my usual body temperature and…" she paused and looked at Ryan "I see dead people."

"That's the worst joke in the world." Caleb chuckled as they both moved to sit on the couch.

"I wish I were joking." She said wrapping Tyler's jacket around her tighter "Ryan is standing right over there by the board."

Tyler came back downstairs after having tucked Qwerty in Kat's bed. He wondered like the others did if she would be able to handle this kind of secret. Right now she wasn't doing too well.

"She okay?" Kat asked as he leaned against the wall on the edge of the stairway.

"I don't know." He said quietly.

She only nodded as a sigh escaped. She didn't know things could get so bad. She only expected magic tricks, not being attacked and killed.

"I'm going to go do a little research." She said "There's no way I'm sleeping."

Getting up, she moved for the cellar which showed no sign that it had been closed. She took each stair one step at a time. The candles lit themselves as she reached the bottom. Tyler and Ryan followed, but Caleb fell asleep on the couch in minutes from exhaustion. None of them wanted to bother him.

"I don't know what I'm looking for exactly…I guess anything." She said.

"Everyone starts somewhere…how about here?" Tyler suggested holding a book out to her.

She looked down at it. She'd seen it earlier today and was afraid to touch it. She looked up at Tyler. He looked uneasy about this, but he wasn't going to stop her.

"It's where we started." He added.

Kat took it gingerly and sat on the floor indian style. She knew that now there was no getting away. Whatever chance there had been in the past was long gone. She had died and now saw the dead. All she could do now was learn and maybe help in the future. For the first time she accepted it. There wasn't much a choice otherwise. Kat looked and saw Tyler burning her death certificate on one of the candles across the way. Kat just looked down at the book in her hands and opened up to the first page. Today would be the start of many sleepless days.

"Book of Damnation."
