With four of their number now dead the former campers found it hard to push forward. Even with the inspiration of Duncan's speech, they were burdened with the weight of grief and sorrow. The uncertainty of Sadie's condition and the ever present threat of attack only served to make things worse. But the campers were determined to see this war through to the end. Duncan, in particular, was determined to see Dorian burn. Now that he was fully recovered from his accident, Duncan's energy had returned to its former level. He worked tirelessly over the next few days planing the final assault. He was aided primarily by Gwen and Noah who, having felt death's touch, were also quite determined to see Dorian's fall. Their fire was also lit by the unknown amount of time they had to stay in the world of the living. Neither Gwen, nor Noah, were sure if they had been brought back permanently or if this was a temporary arrangement. Regardless, they were not about to abandon their friends.

Gwen was dealing with another issue in conjunction with killing Dorian. She was still trying to figure out exactly who had killed her. She had a sneaking suspicion she knew who it was, but without proof, she could not confront him. Whenever she wasn't working with Duncan, she was trying to find a way to confirm her suspicions. But no matter how she looked at it, there seemed to be no way of unraveling this mystery.

A week after Justin's death, Gwen finally made a breakthrough in her search. She had returned to the sight of her murder, searching for clues, and she found something that both horrified and elated her. In the corner of the room was a smell speck of blood the cleaners had missed. She collected a sample of it and compared the DNA with that she had managed to gather from her target. The DNA matched, though Gwen was not entirely comforted by this fact. I knew it. It's him, she thought, Thomas killed me. With the excitement of this find coursing through her, Gwen returned to the hospital, anger mixing in with the euphoria.

The others were gathered in their familiar room talking about their next move, when Gwen burst in, hatred burning in her eyes. "Gwen, what the-?" Trent asked, surprised.

Gwen ignored him. "You bastard!" she shouted, advancing on Thomas. "You murdering, traitorous pig! How could you do it? I trusted you and you stabbed me in the back."

"Gwen, what the hell are you talking about?" Trent asked, staring at his wife.

"He killed me." Gwen shouted, pointing at Thomas. "I trusted him and he stabbed me in the gut." She glared at Thomas.

"Gwen, what are you talking about? Thomas can't have killed you. He was with us when you were attacked." said Chef.

"Was he?" asked Gwen. "Are you absolutely certain he was in this room with you? Because I found evidence that says he was in my room with me that day. I found his blood. He let me draw his blood and it matched what I found at the scene."

"Father, is this true?" Abigail asked, looking from Gwen to Thomas. "Did you kill Gwen?"

Thomas hesitated a moment before answering. "I did." he said, hanging his head. There were cries of outrage from Trent and Duncan at this admission. Abigail turned from her father tears in her eyes, horrified by the truth.

"Thomas how-how could you?" asked Bridgette, staring at him in disbelief.

"I'm afraid I haven't been completely honest with you." said Thomas.

"What exactly does that mean?" said Chris, glaring at Thomas.

"I've been working for Dorian this whole time." Thomas admitted.

"I knew it!" said D.J. "Everyone else trusted you, but I knew something didn't smell right about you. I knew you still had to be connected to that bastard somehow."

"How could you still work for him?" Bridgette asked. "Dorian killed your wife."

"I know how." said Chris. "His wife's not really dead, is she Thomas?"

"No, she is." Thomas replied. "Please, listen to me. You must understand why I did it."

"We're done listening to you dude." said Duncan. "We trusted you and you killed Gwen. How do we know you won't kill the rest of us, or already have."

"You don't." said Thomas. "But I assure you Gwen is the only one I killed. Well her, and Noah. I killed him too."

"That's bullshit!" shouted Eva. "I killed the guy who shot Noah."

"No, you thought you did." said Thomas. "You killed the guy you thought shot Noah, but it was I who actually did it." Eva threw herself at Thomas, punching him in the face. D.J. and Duncan grabbed her and pulled her back.

"No Eva, not yet." said Duncan. He looked at Thomas and said, "I should have known it was you. You were at the scene of Izzy's hit and run, Lindsey and Beth's attack, and my accident. It was obvious that you were involved, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I trusted you. But as much as I want to kick your ass, I want answer's more. So explain Thomas. Tell us how could betray us and continue to work for Dorian."

Thomas spit a bit of blood on the floor, looked Duncan in the eye and began, "I did what I did because it was my part of the agreement. Everything I have told you up to this point is true. Dorian killed my wife, and I thought he had killed my daughter as well. Days after my wife's murder, Dorian told me Abigail was still alive. That was the day he told me of his plan for all of you as well. He told me that if I continued to work for him, if I helped him kill you, he would leave Abigail alone. This was eighteen years ago, so you must understand that I did not know it would be you. Dorian began planning before Chris and Chef actually went through with the show. I didn't think he would actually go through with his plan, but I was wrong. I had to keep up my end of the bargain, I did not want to lose my daughter. But I did everything I could to ensure that no one actually died. My presence at the original hits was meant to insure that they went down right, but I sabotaged them. Dorian caught on to what I was doing, so to insure the next hit went down right, he made me kill Gwen, then Noah." He paused a moment, allowing Noah to ask a question.

"If this was all a set up between you and Dorian, why did Gwen and I get brought back?" Noah asked. "Doesn't that kinda undermine the plan?"

"To ensure I kept your trust, I contacted David Luminous and asked him to bring the two of you back." Thomas replied. "There is nothing Dorian can do to challenge Luminous, so I was safe in taking that action."

The campers looked at him a moment, considering what they had just been told. Then Duncan spoke. "That's an interesting story Thomas, but true or not, I can't allow you to be part of this family any longer."

Thomas nodded. "I understand." he said. "I will go, but remember this Duncan, I only did what I had to. If you were in my place I think you would have done the same. I wish you luck in your fight, may Dorian taste your vengeance." Duncan nodded, but did not respond.

Thomas exited, leaving them with a feeling of uneasiness. If there one ally in this war had actually been their enemy, what other surprises lay in store for them?
