A/N: This is without a doubt the hardest chapter I ever had to write. But I'm not going to distract you from it any longer. I hope you enjoy it.There's also two call backs to one of the final destination films. One subtle; one not so subtle. Can you spot the subtle one?

Time felt like it almost stopped for Kevin when Wendy's lips touched his. His breath caught in his throat for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and responded to her kiss. His hands snaked their way across her back and pulled her closer to him. Everything felt right at this moment. It felt like they must have been kissing for an eternity. But then something entered Kevin's mind. An image of… Jason and Carrie. He suddenly felt guilty. They were after all standing in front of their graves. Kevin reluctantly pulled back.

"Kevin? What's wrong?" Wendy questioned as Kevin pulled back.

Kevin couldn't get out the words and could only look behind him. Wendy looked at the two graves behind him and realization hit her hard. Wendy was unable to form a sentence either and started walking back to the car. She guessed it was only natural for Kevin to feel that way since Jason was his best friend after all and that she never actually broke up with him since he died. Despite those thoughts Wendy couldn't help but softly touch her fingers to her lips and let out a small sigh.

"There they are," Clear nonchalantly thought; knife in hand. "They'll never see me coming. I can end this now." Clear was getting ready to make her move when Wendy did something to stop Clear in her tracks. Wendy was kissing Kevin. Clear froze and despite her best efforts couldn't make herself move. Slowly she sheathed her knife and began to back away behind a tree. Clear sat against it and nearly felt like she was about to cry. Seeing those two reminded her too much of what she lost when she was alive. The painful memories all flew back to her like it was yesterday.

"I cannot be pregnant," Clear desperately kept repeating over and over again at her pregnancy test with disbelieving eyes. "How could this happen? It was just one night." But it turns out that night in Paris before Carter died was all that needed to happen and what followed next was worse.

"Something's wrong!" Dr. Kalarjian frantically revealed.

"What's happening to my baby!" Clear asked with fear and panic.

"Clear, we need you to relax. You're going to have to push when I say so all right?"

Clear nodded and prepared herself. She wasn't going to lose her child. It was all she had left of Alex.

"Ok Clear. 1, 2, 3 PUSH!"

"AHHHHHH!" Clear screamed as she pushed. So many tears were streaming down her face. She couldn't lose her baby. She just couldn't.

"Ok Clear. One more time," Kalarjian informed her trying to sound calm and relaxed. "1, 2, 3, PUSH!" Clear pushed with all her might; she felt like she was going to die screaming and then in a way she kind of did. She gazed up and met the horror struck faces of the doctor and the other hospital staff members.

Kalarjian stepped forward and took a deep breath. "Clear. I'm…I'm so sorry," she couldn't finish her sentence.

"No," Clear choked out. "NO!" She screeched this time.

She had lost everything that meant anything to her! Her father, Alex, and now her own child! Something inside of her broke loose and the next thing Clear knew she was going berserk on the hospital staff, who was having a hard time trying to hold her back. Kalarjian managed to sedate her from behind and her world went black.

Clear thought things couldn't get much worse, but she couldn't have been further from the truth.

"Are you sure about this, Clear?" Dr. Kalarjian asked walking with Clear down the pale white hallways of the mental asylum.

"I've never been surer about anything in my life Doctor," Clear responded in a monotonous voice. Kalarjian sighed; sad to see the kind of person Clear had become. The girl seemingly lost the will to live, but then again who could blame her? She had lost not only her boyfriend, but her own baby as well. They reached the room Clear would be kept in and Kalarjian slowly opened the doorway. Clear stepped inside and sat in the middle of the floor.

"It doesn't have to be like this, Clear. You can still change your mind," she tried to reason though in her mind she knew Clear wouldn't change her decision.

"I know what I'm doing Doctor," She replied never turning around. "Please just go," she requested. Kalarjian obeyed her request and shut the door to Clear's room. Clear took a single picture of Alex from here pocket and taped it against the wall. Clear could feel tears coming, but held them all back. She wasn't going to cry again. Not now. Not ever.

Clear looked back from around the tree and spotted those two love birds still kissing each other. Clear, against her better judgment, decided to let them have their moment together. Guess the boss would get to go through with his big plan after all.

Wendy sped along the infamous route 23 trying to keep a cool head. She tried to think of something, anything to get her kiss with Kevin off her mind. It just refused to leave her memory; like it was permanently engraved in it. Kevin was thinking the exact same thing too. He can't explain the guilt he felt when he thought about Jason and Carrie. It's been months after all. He shouldn't be dwelling on the past. Right now he wished he could just roll back time so he could have acted differently. A nearby sign caught Wendy's attention as she continued driving.

Always buckle up. It could save your life.

Wendy dismissed the sign and continued driving when another one caught her eye.

The Devil's Flight. This ride will be the death of you.

Wendy started to feel like death might be on to her and she was afraid she might see a third omen. A truck honked its horn at her making her realize she was going to slow. Wendy changed lanes to let it go through, but as it drove by the words on the side of it caught her attention.

You can't escape

Wendy felt as if everything went into slow motion. Death had somehow found her and was going in for the kill. Wendy turned to her left and her realization was confirmed. Driving to the left of her car was a police car being driven by none other than Thomas Burke! He raised his gun and fired. Wendy stopped the bullets and flung them back at him. Burke ducked the bullets, which sailed over his head and smashed through the window.

"Hold on!" Wendy told Kevin and Julie.

She floored it and took off down the road. Burke increased the speed of his hijacked police car and continued the pursuit. Wendy drove into ongoing traffic weaving in and out to throw off Burke. He matched her maneuvers and reloaded his gun. Kevin grasped his shotgun and stuck himself out of the car window. Taking aim he shot one of Burke's tires. Burke lost control of his car and began to topple over. His car blew up sending other cars swerving to miss the destruction. Kevin had a mortified expression on his face at the accident he nearly caused, but none the less pulled himself back in the car.

Burke meanwhile phased out of his flaming police car and saw a van headed straight for him. He turned around and phased into the passenger seat next to Kimberly who gave him an odd look.

"What?" He asked. She gave him a "you know what" look. "So I've seen 'The Matrix Reloaded' one too many times. Sue me why don't ya." Burke complained.

Kimberly increased the speed of her car trying to close the distance between herself and Wendy. She spotted Kimberly and switched into the far right lane. Kimberly realized that Wendy was trying to cut her off with the merging traffic.

"Wendy, watch out!" Kevin shouted in panic.

Wendy's head shot in the direction of the merging traffic to spot a massive truck approaching and not stopping! It was going to hit them! Wendy tried to change lanes, but another car cut her off. The car was being driven by none of other than Alex Browning. Wendy made a desperate effort to get ahead of the truck, but it was no good. Suddenly she felt something slam into the back of her car knocking it forward and past of the truck at the very last possible moment. She watched as the truck put on its breaks at the last second coming to an almost screeching halt so it wouldn't hit the other car which barely managed to avoid being hit itself.

"Kimberly! ? What the hell! ? Clear had them right where she wanted them!" Burke exasperatedly yelled.

"Hey! I didn't know I'd push them that far ahead of Clear's truck! You want to drive! ?" She fired back at Burke.

"Yeah! Move over!" He ordered Kimberly and with minimal difficulty switched seats with Kimberly. Meanwhile Alex pulled up beside Wendy and drove his car into the side of hers; he was trying to knock them off the road. He went for a second try and Wendy hit the brakes making Alex drive past her. He tried to stop, but in his attempt his car flipped over and tumbled off the street; becoming engulfed in an intense blaze.

"That's two down," Julie started, but the sound of a truck horn interrupted her.

Wendy looked over her shoulder seeing that same truck from before; Clear Rivers was behind the wheel. Kevin stuck himself out the window again, shooting at Clear's windshields. She ducked to avoid the glass and closed the gap between the two vehicles. Taking a hold of her knife, she chucked it at Kevin's arm making him drop his shotgun. As it connected with the ground a shot is fired off hitting the tires of a passing by car. The car's screeching brakes could be heard and the car began flipping over.

Other cars spotted it and tried to avoid a collision. One switched to the middle lane only to be hit by a truck. The car spun and flew into the air connecting with another car in the lane. Another driver in that lane frantically tried to get out of the way, but was cut off and slammed into the flaming wreck. Kimberly and Burke blazed through the wreck; thoughts of the last route 23 pile up weighing heavily on their minds. They looked behind themselves and noticed that all traffic had officially come to a stop. That should make things a bit easier.

Clear was breathing down Wendy's neck as her vehicle got within inches closer of Wendy's. She jumped into the next lane, but Clear followed. She bumped Wendy's car once and then bumped it again. Wendy's head was knocked forward a bit and into the steering wheel. No matter what she couldn't outrun Clear and she couldn't switch lanes and stop because Clear would just follow and then they'd die. Just when Wendy was about to lose all hope Clear's truck came to a complete stop.

"What the hell?" Julie muttered to herself.

"Did…she just give up?" Kevin asked in a confused tone.

"I don't know. This doesn't make any since," Wendy answered.

Clear reached into her pocket and pulled out a cell phone. "It's your show now," she said. "Make it quick," she silently requested.

Death hung up and looked up at the overpass. Stretching out both his hands, he balled up both his fists and began to concentrate. The entire overpass crumpled leaving an enormous gap in between. "Time for me to take back control." Death shut his eyes and concentrated again.

"Wendy what are you doing?" Julie asked. "We aren't being followed anymore. Why are you speeding up?" She asked a bit frightened this time.

"I'm not doing anything." She replied scared herself. Wendy took her foot of the gas, but the car didn't stop. She tried hitting the brakes, but they didn't work. "Oh fuck!"

"Wendy what is it!" Kevin asked loosing it.

"Death!" The car kept on gaining speed as it approached the over pass.

They spotted it and made a frenzied attempt to escape the car. Their seatbelts wouldn't unbuckle and the car doors all locked themselves. The windows wouldn't budge either. The steering wheel was stuck as well. They were trapped. The car was getting closer and closer to the destroyed over pass and that's when Wendy made her choice.

She turned around and pulled Kevin closer to her. Without a moment of hesitation she brought his lips crashing into her own. In those brief moments Wendy felt more alive than she ever had for most of her of her own life. I guess that happens when you are about to die. Kevin responded fully to her kiss this time. Not holding back anything. Her hands gently stroke through his hair as she continued kissing him. Wendy finally pulled away; kissing his top and bottom lip one final time.

"Take care of Julie," she whispered to him fighting back all tears.

"Wendy what do you mean?" Kevin asked still holding onto the back of her neck.

Wendy pressed her forehead into his and whispered, "I love you," and pulled away from him. Using every last bit of mental strength she could muster, Wendy ripped the backseat door out of the car. Before she lost her focus, Wendy managed to tear Kevin and Julie's seatbelts and finally telepathically carried them out of the car setting them down on the side of the road.

"Wendy, no!" Kevin called out trying to run after her; Julie following from behind. He couldn't lose her. Not now! Wendy didn't look back. She kept herself focused on the front as her car headed for the over pass; her mind too weak to free herself from this metal death trap. Her car flew over the edge and plummeted down. Wendy watched her own life flash before her eyes and seconds before her car connected with the rubble below spoke her last words.

"FUCK DEATH!"

And then her car collided with the rubble from the overpass. Kevin and Julie stopped at the edge of the broken pass and watched Wendy's car go up in smoke. The flames were so big Kevin would have sworn he was seeing the flames of hell. Both he and Julie had completely horrified expressions on their faces. All the air had left their lungs and they were unable to utter a single word.

They couldn't believe what had just happened. After all that had transpired Death managed to kill her. Their thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an approaching car. It slid to a stop in front of Kevin and Julie and the passenger doors opened up. The front window rolled down revealing the face of Wendy's contact. The being put a finger to his/her lips and motioned for them to get inside the car. They did so without a moment of hesitation. The contact drove off the exit and got as far away from the carnage as possible. Kevin and Julie remained silent; still in complete and total shock from what they just had to witness. Wanting to break the silence the contact decided to speak.

"We'll be arriving at Nick's position in about 10 minutes. We shouldn't have to worry about Death till then. Now that… we lost her, Death no longer see's any reason to worry about you two."

"Why didn't you help?" Kevin silently mumbled; head looking down at his hands.

"Excuse me?" The contact asked.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP! ?" Kevin shouted with all the anger he could muster. He had never felt so much rage before in his life.

"I wanted to help, but I was too late! I never would have reached you in time!" The contact yelled back equally as furious.

"What are you anyway?" Julie calmly asked finally finding her voice. "Some sort of angel?"

"I'm probably the furthest thing from an angel you could think. I'm deeply and truly sorry for what happened to Wendy. If I could go back and do things differently I would, but there isn't any time to mourn now." The rest of the drive went by in silence. Kevin kept a tight grip on the spare shotgun the contact gave him; a determined look in his eyes. He wasn't going to let Wendy's sacrifice be in vain. "We're here," the contact announced.

"Where do you suppose they are?" Julie asked exiting the car.

"I am uncertain. You two go on. I'll see if I can't buy us some time," The contact told them before driving off.

"Let's go," Kevin said, but as soon as Julie took one step forward she stopped dead in her tracks.

"Julie? What's wrong?" Her eyes widened and then Kevin and everything else faded from view.

A falling structure, a swerving truck, a café, and… Nick?

Julie came back to reality falling down to her knees.

"Julie? What did you see?" Kevin asked helping her back to her feet.

"I know where they are." She breathed out. "Nick and his friends are going to be hit by a truck."

"Shit! How much time do we have! ?"

Julie shut her eyes trying to remember if she saw what time it was. The café they were in. It had a clock.

"It was exactly 3:30. That's 3 minutes from now!"

"Come on!" And they made a break for the café; Julie leading the way.

Nick started noticing omens all around him, from a race on T.V. to the name of the film Lori and Janet went to see. He moved his injured arm and saw the words "It's here" written on the table.

"Guys. What if we didn't change anything?" He uneasily began.

Outside Kevin and Julie were running like never before; they had just thirty seconds.

"What if us being here was the plan from the beginning?" And then the structure fell and the truck swerved to miss it.

"LOOK OUT!" Julie screamed dashing into the building.

Nick and his friends spotted the truck and jumped away from their table just as it smashed through. Kevin pushed Julie out of the way towards the counter and jumped to the right to avoid it himself. The back of the truck crashed through the rest of the building as the truck tried to stop. It came to a crashing halt right through the counter. Kevin opened his eyes and checked himself to see if he was hurt. He was fine for the most part.

"Julie!" He worriedly called out to her. He received no answer, which only increased his sense of worry. "Julie!" He got to his feet and ran to the counter. She was alive but out cold; lying right next to the truck.

"Oh my God! Is she all right! ?" Lori asked appearing next to him.

"I don't know," Kevin said stepping over what was left of the counter to help her. Lori stepped over to help him as well. Meanwhile, Nick and Janet were recovering from crash when an odd smell caught Nick's attention. It smelled like gas. He opened his eyes and spotted a ruptured fuel line on the truck. A trail of gasoline was making its way towards the counter. As he tried to regain his focus Nick also saw a dead body lying across the counter holding a lighter.

"Lori you've gotta get away from the counter now!" He warned her in a panic voice. Lori spotted the gas and quickly helped Kevin get Julie away from the truck.

"We have to get out of here!" The five survivors made a run for the exit as the gas reached the counter and the dead figure dropped the lighter igniting it. An immense explosion rocked the café sending the five hurtling forward and onto the streets. Janet took in multiple breaths as she watched the cafe go up in smoke.

Julie let out a low groan and recovered from the accident. "Kevin what happened?" She questioned weakly.

"We saved them," he told her.

"Not wanting to sound ungrateful for the save or anything, but just who are you guys?"

"I'm Kevin."

"Julie"

"This is an odd place for an introduction, but I'm Lori."

"Janet."

"Nick."

"Now that the introductions are out of the way, we need to get you three as far away from here as possible," Kevin explained. "Before Death strikes again."

"Wait. You know about it?" Nick began.

"Yeah, but we don't have time to explain while we're in the open. Come on!"

From a top the flaming café, Death watched them. "You won't be escaping me this easily," he thought. Another explosion knocked them onto their feet and a shard of glass flew out from the building and punctured a car's tire. It went out of control and started flipping towards them. They managed to stand and got out of the way as the car landed on top of another approaching car. The explosion knocked Janet down and the others a good distance away from her.

"Janet!" Nick yelled unable to see her because of the smoke. Janet was on her back when she noticed two cars headed straight for her. Both drivers tried to stop, but their brakes weren't functioning properly and they couldn't turn. Paralyzed with fear, all Janet could do was scream. Kevin, Julie, and the others shielded their eyes from the blast that followed and took cover as an additional car tumbled towards them and smashed through the building behind them. Needing to get off the streets they ran into that same building; climbing over the damaged car to get to the stairs. As Lori climbed over the car part of the ceiling collapsed separating her from the others.

"That son of a bitch! It's playing with us!" Nick cursed running to the rubble. Lori started screaming and Kevin hauled Nick away from the wall a split second before the rubble was blasted away. Kevin dragged the shocked Nick to his feet and ran up the stairs with Julie close behind.

The building shook as they reached the top tossing Nick forward. He stopped at the edge, but when he tried to stand another tremor rocked the building causing him to lose his footing. Kevin grabbed his hand and they both fell of together.

Julie ran to the edge and saw that Nick managed to grab the edge, but didn't look like he was going to hang on much longer. He was using his injured arm to keep Kevin from falling. Groaning in pain and anguish Nick lifted Kevin to within distance of Julie. Julie grabbed Kevin's arm, but part of the edge that Nick was hanging on to broke away. Julie quickly caught his and and tried to pull them both up, but they were too heavy for her.

"Come on, Julie! You can do it!" Kevin tried to encourage looking back down at the destruction just below him.

Julie pulled as hard as she could, but it wasn't any use. "I can't hold on!" Kevin's hand began to slip out of hers'!

"Kevin, no!" And she lost her grip on his hand. As Kevin fell, a second hand shot out and grabbed his.

Julie turned to meet the eyes (well…hood) of the contact. A cold wind picked up and Death appeared behind the three; eyes fixated on the contact. "Traitor," He accused through clenched teeth and went to strike.

"Too slow," the contact muttered and in one swift movement pulled out a shotgun from his/her jacket pocket and blew Death away.

"I guess I won't need this anymore," The contact said and removed his/her hood revealing…

"You?" Julie asked in disbelief.

Kimberly Corman half-smiled. "I understand if you're confused, but I'll explain everything once we're away from here. Hold on."

"To what?" Julie asked. Kimberly placed her hand on Julie's shoulder and she, Julie, Nick, and Kevin vanished from the battlefield.

A/N: I'm evil aren't I? I said all hell was going to break loose and I meant it. Hope you aren't too upset with the events that transpired in this chapter and will still be around when I post up the next chapter. The Kimberly thing will be explained next chapter as well. Till then have a nice day readers.
