A/N: Hope the wait wasn't too long for you, readers. This chapter is shorter than the last one, but it should still satisfy.

Kimberly, Julie, Kevin, and Nick all materialized into someone's house.

"Where are we?" Nick asked.

"My old house. My mom and dad are out of town on a vacation and as such I've been using this place as a base of operations so to speak. I understand that you must all have 100s of questions, but don't worry. I'm going to answer them all…or at least as many as I can. Just make yourselves comfortable and I'll be back."

"Wait a second. What's keeping Death out of this house?" Julie asked feeling a bit uneasy. Kimberly tilted her head in the direction of the windows and doors and the three of them saw symbols drawn all over the place.

"Where did you learn about all of this?" Nick said a bit slightly freaked out by the drawings.

"A man by the name of William Bludworth," Kimberly responded and then left the room. Nick took in a deep breath, stood to his feet, and began pacing; trying to make sense of everything that had transpired so far.

Kevin stared at his shotgun; Wendy' sacrifice still fresh in his mind. He was this close to breaking down in tears, but he knew he had to be strong now. He couldn't allow Wendy's sacrifice to be in vain. He heard Julie start to sniff and he turned to see tears in her eyes. He pulled her into a comforting hug while she silently began to cry.

"I know how you feel, Julie. Believe me I do," He said; his own sadness clear in his own voice.

"I just wish I could redo things with her. Me and Kimberly were never real close until this whole death thing," she continued to sob.

"It was the same thing for me," Kevin said. "Just five months ago we never would have said two words to each other. Now I'd give anything to see her again."

"Would you?" Kimberly said leaning against the door.

Kevin turned to her and stated, "Really. Without a moment's hesitation."

Kimberly smiled. "You know what, Kevin?"

"What?" He asked.

"You should tell her yourself," and Kimberly stepped away from the door revealing Wendy standing behind her. Kevin only stared; unable to form a coherent sentence or thought for that matter. Was Wendy really here?

"Wendy… is it really you?" He asked.

An enormous grin bestowed Wendy's face. "Why don't you come over here and find out," She said.

Kevin stood, began to walk, and immediately tripped and fell. Kimberly and Wendy burst out laughing. Kevin looked at his shoes and saw that the laces had been tied together.

He looked back up at Wendy and she pointed to her head. His laces untied and retied themselves and Kevin had an even wider grin.

"It is you!" He shouted and ran into Wendy's arms locking them both into probably the biggest hug either of them had ever been in; neither one ever wanting to let go.

They both tumbled to the ground when Julie launched herself into the hug and they all began to laugh for what felt like the first time in months. Nick watched them all laugh on the floor and sighed.

"Hey. Don't we get 'I can't believe you aren't dead hugs' too?" Lori and Janet asked from the doorway.

Nick looked up and was tackled by both ladies to the floor. Kimberly let the happen reunion go on for about five or so more minutes before clearing her throat and everyone looked in her direction.

"You all have a lot of questions? Don't you?" She asked and they all nodded their heads. "Take a seat and I'll try to fill in as many gaps as I can."

"Let's start with the most important question. How are they all alive?" Julie asked.

"It took near flawless timing. I had to make Death think it had gotten them so it would calm down a bit and stop coming at you with everything it had. When Wendy's car fell off the over pass, I teleported inside her car and teleported her out of it just before it hit the rubble. I teleported both Lori and Janet to safety as well just before the cars hit them. Death couldn't detect them inside these walls and assumed they were gone."

"Here's another big question. Why are Clear, Burke, and Alex trying to help Death kill us? And why aren't you helping them?" Kevin asked her.

"Another good question. When we died, we were sent to hell for fucking up Death's design. We had to go through unimaginable torture. When Death offered us a way out we took it even though the last thing we ever wanted to do was to kill. Death kept threatening to send us back to Hell if we failed it. We were so frightened that we obeyed. Even Clear is afraid is afraid Death and not much scares that girl. It was tired of being cheated and after you three escaped it for the second time it became extraordinarily pissed off. It came to me, Clear, Alex, and Burke because it believed that people who had been trying to escape Death themselves could come up with a situation where escaping Death is impossible."

"That's why we suggested it attack the subway; we honestly didn't think you guys would make it, but in light of Wendy's new power we we're all shocked when you came out of it alive. The reason I'm not helping them is because I simply choose not to. The others were too frightened to disobey, but I couldn't go through with killing anyone. I went to Bludworth shortly after Death let us out and asked for his help. He told me the only way we we're going to win this fight against Death was if I could somehow bring together Wendy and the other visionaries and bring them to him. He provided me with all the knowledge I needed to repel Death as well as the two salt shotguns."

"So that night at the hospital. After I blasted you, you went to save Wendy from Clear?"

"Precisely though I did cut it sort of close."

"But why all the secrecy? Why didn't you just tell me who you were right off the bat?" Wendy questioned Kimberly.

"If Death knew what I was up to, I would've been back in hell in no time at all. I had to be extra careful otherwise the entire plan would've been blown. I'm sorry I couldn't have been straighter with you, but it was the only way."

"So where do we go from here?" Nick asked; mind hurting somewhat from the explanation that was just given.

"We have to go to Bludworth, but not without the others."

"And how are we supposed to get the others to come with us when they want us dead?" Lori asked standing up and crossing her arms.

"We'll deal with that once they find us," Kimberly responded to her walking towards the window.

"Wait. What are you doing?" Janet asked starting to worry.

"Get your shotgun ready, Kevin. This might get ugly," Kimberly revealed while cocking her own shotgun and then she erased one of the symbols on the window.

A/N: Got yaaaaaaa! Surprised to see Wendy, Lori, and Janet still breathing? Haha. Hope Kimberly's explanation of events was good and didn't raise more questions than answers. See you all soon!
