comes closer.
    The first to leave are Frederick and Vartouhi with Gale, Sara, Dave, and Joanne sitting in the back of the wagon waving good-bye. Sara makes writing gestures at Wendi to reassure her that she will keep her promise.
    Gale yells, “See you at the wedding.”
    Dave and Joanne yell, “I love you. See you, guys at the wedding.”
    Then their wagon becomes too hard to watch anymore as it rides off in to the night.
    Last to leave are David, Markus, and Wendi sitting in the back of Marnina and Zebedeo's wagon watching their beloved home that they grew up in become a memory. Two ghosts appear at the end of their road waving good-bye to the three kids. One blows a kiss and the other just keeps on waving as they disappear. David stands up, waves good-bye to his home, his mom and dad, and the only life that he knew. David, Markus, and Wendi climb up to sit by Marnina and Zebedeo as they all head towards their new home and new life.

Chapter 11
    Thinking that he is in the clear, Dimitri tries to stand up. Dimitri forgets that his wrist is broken due to the adrenaline running through his veins. He rolls to his side and pushes up with both hands on the floor. Then the pain hits him again, this time it’s even stronger. Dimitri screams at the top of his lungs letting everyone in a block radius hear him. He falls back to the floor in a gigantic boom making the floor creak. Dimitri starts to weep as he thinks that he is going to die in this fire he set. The smoke of the fire below is getting worse by the second. Then Dimitri hears the sounds he dreaded to hear: creak, crack, and bang!
    The sounds come from beneath him as the floor gives out. A hot, ash-filled, smoke surrounds Dimitri as he descends downward into the flame filling the dinning room. He lands on one of the chairs breaking it. The fall knocks the wind out of him. Coughing and gasping for air, Dimitri realizes that something is wrong. He feels his chest with his free hand, for the sharp pain. Dimitri’s hand hits the partially burnt chair leg that is lodged in his chest, driving itself straight through his lung. Blood creeps out around from the chair leg making him feel faint. He looks around to see if there is a way out of this blazing hellhole. A gust of wind comes through the dining room door to the hallway in from the back door to feed the fire. Dimitri realizes that he is just twelve feet way from freedom.
    Dimitri thinks back to the day that his father James and his new stepmother Tegan told him about the day that they meet.

Townspeople said that it was the work of Lucifer or one of his generals. When James crosses paths with Tegan, they knew that they had to help each other or they would die inside. James and Tegan married one month later and continued to be happy the rest of their lives.
    Dimitri thinks to himself, ‘I will live. I’m not going to die in this house. I’ve got too much killing to do still. So get up and get out of here.’ Picking himself up off the floor Dimitri starts the longest journey that he will face in his life. With every step he takes he gets closer to freedom. The back door becomes brighter with the sun rays shooting through the opening, inviting him to walk through. Dimitri tries to take a deep breath of fresh air, but his body starts to shut down. He drops to his knees. Then to his broken wrist’s side Dimitri reaches out to the light of the sun to his freedom.
    A cloaked shadowy figure appears in front of Dimitri, standing on the back steps, holding out it’s skeletal hand. Dimitri knew then that he had made a mistake for what he has just done. Thinking out loud Dimitri says, “What have I done? God, Please forgive me.”
    “That is what we are going to find out,” the cloaked, shadowy figure says grasping Dimitri's hand.
    “Where are we going? And who are
