When Lilly and Nik got home that afternoon after the robbery, they were both still in shock, barley talking at all. Lilly went immediately to her machine shop in the couple's garage. Whenever Lilly was upset about something, she would work in her shop. She found it soothing.
"Lilly….goodnight" Nik called opening the garage door later that night. She looked up from her work and smiled, before going back to sanding.
Nik sighed, and went back inside, closing the door behind him. As he was walking upstairs to his and Lilly's bedroom, he felt a warm breeze. Turning around, he didn't see any of the windows open, so he turned up the air conditioning before heading upstairs.
Lilly continued working in the machine shop. She was currently making a new kitchen table for her and Nik's one year anniversary, which was in a week. Right now, she was working on one of the legs, expertly moving back and forth between the belt sander and band saw, without turning them off.
Absentmindedly, Lilly pulled down the sleeves on her sweatshirt as the garage slowly got colder. She wasn't paying much attention to what she was doing as she moved the leg up and down the sander, when suddenly one of her sleeves got caught in the belt.
"Shit!" Lilly exclaimed as her hand was being pressed against the belt, which was still moving. She attempted to pull it out, but with no success.
Reaching down, she felt for the 'off' button, before realizing that it was on the other side. Thinking fast, Lilly gritted her teeth and leaned over to reach the emergency stop. The downside was, she had to lean across the belt sander, which slowly began sanding down her stomach.
Not reaching it, Lilly pushed harder and harder against the belt saw, before finally reaching the stop button. By this time though, her stomach was pouring blood, and her left hand was practically gone. She slowly took a wobbly step foreword, slipping in a puddle of blood, and falling headfirst into the band saw.

"And yeah, then Ali slapped him, right in front of everyone" Karly Brian said, as she finished the story she was telling, as her and Hana at the kitchen table, eating breakfast, even though it was nearly noon.
"That's super funny" Hana laughed. "He totally deserved it!" Both girls laughed. Hana looked over at Karly's dad who was sitting across the table, reading the morning paper, and gasped.
"What?" Karly asked looking over at her friend.
"That's Lilly!" Hana exclaimed. Front page of the newspaper was a picture of Lilly, along with the heading 'Local Women Killed'
"Whose Lilly?" Karly questioned, but Hana didn't answer. She grabbed the paper out of Mr. Brian's hands, and began reading.
'Lilly Carlton, a local Bernville residence was found dead late last night by her husband in their home. The official cause of death was decapitation, caused by a piece of machine equipment in her shop. It is believed that Mrs. Carlton fell into the saw, but police are not commenting at this time if they suspect foul play.'
"Shit" Hana whispered as she finished reading. She immediately stood up, and began towards the door, still holding the newspaper. Grabbing her purse off the counter, she turned to face her friend.
"Karly, I have to go" Hana said quickly, pulling on her coat "Thanks for having me over though. Sorry"
"What about shopping?" Karly asked
"Sorry" Hana repeated as she opened the door and quickly made it outside.
Hana unlocked her door and quickly began driving in the direction of her house. Going about 30 miles over the speed limit, she finally got home, and bolted inside.
"Michelle?" She called frantically, looking around her house "Michelle! Where are you?"
"Im in here" Michelle answered. Hana raced into the family room to find Michelle sitting there watching TV. "What do you want?"
"Michelle, we got to go" Hana told her sister
"What?" Michelle asked "Where? I have Brianna's Birthday party this afternoon"
"Michelle, this is more important than a birthday party" Hana said loudly "Just get in the car"
"Mom!" Michelle screamed, but was cut off by Hana putting her hand over to mouth.
"What?" Their mother asked from upstairs.
"Im taking Michelle to the birthday party!" Hana answered, and dragged Michelle outside. "Look, remember that thing yesterday. With the guns. Well, you're too young to understand, but something bad is happening, so you have to come with me"
"Are you going crazy?" Michelle asked her sister, and Hana forced her into the passenger seat of the car
"No" Hana answered as she got into the drivers seat "Buckle up"
Hana then began speeding again, driving super fast and crazily until they got to the Video Plex. Michelle sat there in the passenger seat, reading the newspaper that Hana had taken from the Brian's house.
"Is that the lady from yesterday?" Michelle asked pointing to the picture as Hana pulled into a parking space, and got out of the car, not bothering to lock the doors.
"Yeah" Hana answered "Get out of the car."
Hana's plan was to talk to James, the cashier, about the article in the paper, since he was the only one she could get in touch with at the time, but when she entered the Video Plex, she was proven wrong. Clint, Barbra, and Kali were all standing in the 'Previously Viewed' section, talking. They all turned to look at her when she entered.
"Oh my goodness, you guys saw the article too" Hana exclaimed, rushing over to them "So I'm not the only one thinking it's not a coincidence"
"No honey, you're not" Barbra told her. "Did you have anymore visions?"
"Visions….no" Hana answered quickly, just as the little bell rang, and they all turned to see Devon enter the store. He stopped when he saw them.
"Umm, I'm just here to rent a movie" He said slowly
"Liar" Kali told him. Devon smiled just as James came to join them.
"Okay" He started "I have ten minutes before my breaks over. Have we figured something out?"
"What's there to figure out?" Michelle put in sarcastically. "You guys are making such a big deal out of this. It must mean we're all gunna die"
"Haha" Hana laughed dryly, and hit her sister on the head.
"Well, she's right" Devon started "Isn't that what it means. I mean, isn't that what happened in the plane thing and the car crash thing"
"I don't wanna die" Kali whined "Im only 16!"
"We're not all gunna die" Clint told them "I think. Hana, who died second in your vision?"
"Lilly" Hana said "It was Michelle, Lilly, James, then one of the robbers."
"What! I died first" Michelle exclaimed "Some sister you are" Hana hit her again.
"So, what do I do now?" James asked, startled by the news that he would be next. "Go and sit in an empty room alone, so nothing can get me, because I still have three hours before my shift is over."
"I have some errands to run too" Barbra put in
"And I have a birthday party to got to" Michelle said proudly.
"I have no life, so I'm good whenever" Devon smiled.
"Okay" Clint announced "I think we should all meet somewhere later today. Figure out what we're going to do."
"Shouldn't we stick together now?" Kali asked
"That would be great, but I have work" Clint said. Lets say, 6 tonight?"
"You can all come to my place" Barbra volunteered "My apartment's pretty big, and the kids are at my husbands this weekend, so we'll be good."
"Sounds good" Clint nodded "Now James, you have to take super good care of yourself until 3, okay? I mean, don't do anything that would even remotely involve you getting hurt"
"I can stay here after I drop Michelle off at her party" Hana started "I have nothing to do, and it would be like, an extra set of eyes to help watch out for danger"
"I'll stay too" Devon said "I crashed my car last week, so I'll need a ride to Barbra's place"
"Okay, so everything set?" Clint asked. They all nodded, got Barbra's address, and were on there way, not noticing the reflection of a dark shadow in the store window.
