Thana grinned at the sight of the young woman in front of her while looking different than the last time the Demon saw her she bears few traces of her former self, her teenage features have matured in the time they've spent apart.

Her eyes dart around suspiciously, her hair is unkempt, and her eyes look dark and haunted. Her movements are stoic, self-protecting, as if waiting for something unseen.

Something, or somebody.

Thana's eyes are pulled away from Clear as she sees what is on the far wall: a shrine to flight 180. The wall is papered with articles about all the survivors but also some scribbles about Death and the 'signs'.

The redhead's name isn't seen on the notes; she is only stated as Death.

Thana moved about the padded room unnoticed as Clear and the new Seer, Kimberly, talk about the plan. They already figured out the latest state of the design, but just as it didn't worry her when Alex figured it out, she wasn't worried this time either.

"Watch out for the signs," Clear finally said as both Kimberly and Thana glanced at the blonde in shock, albeit a different kind of shock. Thana's jaw ticked as she realized Clear was about to reveal the very thing that helped Alex thwart her every move.

Clear sighed and crossed her arms. Her whole aura showed her reluctance to help. "Have you ever seen anything creepy or ominous? An in-your-face irony kind of thing?" Thana finally saw the crack in Clear's mask, she was broken beyond repair.

That was bad.

Not because it made Thana feel guilty that she had stalked and traumatized the human, but if Clear had nothing to lose, then she would be more willing to help the new batch of survivors.

"The songs on the radio," Kimberly gasped as her eyes darted around "Yeah, the guy in the beer truck, everything on the road" The shorter woman finalized in surprise as Thana's eye twitched at the revelation of the signs.

"Well, don't ignore it. Recognizing those signs usually means the difference between life and death. They're being sent to you for a reason" Clear's eyes moved over to the wall. "It's the only way to stop her," The blonde mumbled to herself.

"Her?" The brunette questioned, looking confused as Clear's eye widened for a split second before her mask of indifference slipped back "Who's her? Clear? You got to help me," Kimberly called out desperately.

"I don't have to do anything" Clear shook her head, taking a step back from the other woman whose face fell at Clear's words.

A smirked graced Thana's face as the two women began to raise their voices at each other when Clear refused to come out of her padded heaven to help the new survivors "Poor Clear, are you scared?" Thana giggled as she sat cross-legged on the small bed.

Clear pounds on the door button apparently done with Kimberly, who looks devastated as she turns to leave, before summoning the courage to turn back to face Clear, "I think you're a coward. You hide out in here because you're too damn bitter and selfish to help any other person".

The blonde stands un-moving as the brunette eyes her in disgust. "In my opinion, you're already dead" Clear just waves her fingers mockingly as Kimberly storms out of the room as the door slowly closes with a puff of air.

Thana glances towards the screen as Kimberly turns to flip off the camera in one last attempt to piss Clear off. "I like her," Thana claps when Clear sighs at the gesture before her whole body stiffens, hearing the redhead's voice. "Well, not really, but I love a dramatic exit."

"Thana" Clear almost whimpers as her back continues to face the Demon that's been haunting her dreams for the past year, she makes no move to turn or speak to the Demon.

"Is that really how you treat a guest, Clear?" Thana giggles as she plays with the ends of her hair. "Especially when we haven't seen each other in so long," the mocking was apparent in Thana's voice, but so was the pout.

Clear's hands twitched before she spun around her expression fierce "You did it again," she spat out, feeling furious. "Wasn't it enough that you did it on flight 180? Now you're going to kill all these innocent people again!".

Thana's face was void of any emotion before a small smile grew on her face. "You should quieten down Clear, you wouldn't want people to think you're crazy," the girl laughed, twirling her finger in a circle by her head mockingly.

The Demon stood up from the bed slowly as Clear subtly backed away "Do you really think you'd be the only one?" she giggled turning her head a little "I thought you understood by now Clear, it's what I do, and nothing is going to stop me."

"What about Castiel?" The blonde questioned as the atmosphere in the room sharpened for a moment as Thana's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Oh, I get it, you still haven't found him" Clear was now the smug one as she let out a laugh crossing her arms, stepping forward.

Thana took a small step back eyeing the human carefully "He was the one who sent those signs to Kimberly, he's helping us again" a flash of anger ripped through the redhead who merely clenched her jaw "and there's no way for you to stop it."

A huff of annoyed laughter came from the Demon, whose body no longer held any sign amusement. "Castiel will screw up at some point, and I'll be there to catch him when he does, but until then, I have things to do. You just stay in your pretty little fortress Princess, I'll be back for you".

Thana rolled her eyes as she dismissed Clear before turning back with a wicked smile "Kimberly's right though, you are already dead. You think I can't get to you in here?" sharp laughed escaped Thana when Clear's eyes darted around.

"I could have gotten you anytime I wanted," Thana sneered as she opened her arms wide towards the newspaper clippings. "For example, you go to reminisce about all your friends' deaths and oh no" Thana's hand slap to her cheeks dramatically.

"You've suddenly got a paper cut. That small cut develops necrotizing fasciitis, which then leads to sepsis, shock, and organ failure" Thana's eyes turn dark as she continues "Then before you know it you're in a coma and your limbs have been chopped off."

Clear gulps, but she can't do anything; she can only listen as Thana's energy darkens and makes her feel sick inside, "and even then, your rate of life isn't good. 2 in every 5 cases are fatal Clear and I have a sneaky feeling you'd be one of those two".

All of Thana's teeth were on display due to the wide grin she was wearing, "and don't get me started on your cctv monitor. You know the smallest of electrical sparks can cause a fire Clear, and something tells me these aren't fireproof" Thana taps the white pads that surround the room.

Suddenly a few sparks emit from the monitor as Clear screams backing away from the small screen in terror, throwing herself into the corner of the room and curling into herself as only Thana's voice could be heard. "I'll see you soon, Clear."

The room plunges into total silence as the blonde woman braves a look through her hands, there was nothing there. Thana was gone and the electricity that felt so real was nowhere to be seen.

She had let Thana get into her head again.

She thought this time around would be different, but she still wasn't prepared for Death, and if she wasn't ready, then Kimberly and the others stood no chance.
