Summary: Tara MacClay rises from the dead thanks to Linderman. When she wakes up she finds herself in a room with Claude Raines and Noah Bennet.
Tara died from the bullet that went straight through her heart. She knew that because she only heard the sound of a gun firing before everything cut to black. Death was much different then life. For one, darkness wasn’t scary, rather, it let to roam around aimlessly in complete comfort. For Tara MacClay though, the darkness ended quickly and when it ended she blinked, disoriented from the transition to death. She groaned in pain, for the lights in the room she was in were much too bright. This wasn’t wheat death was supposed to be like. There wasn’t supposed to be any pain for the deceased.
