Thomas listened in pleasure as the young man on the table moaned in pain. He had just finished cutting up the arm. Now came his favorite part…the skinning. Thomas picked up a knife and dug it deep into one of the cuts. He pulled the knife, pulling the skin off the man's arm. He smiled behind his mask as the man screamed in agony at the top of his lungs.
"Thomas! Thomas!"
Thomas stopped what he was doing as he heard Hoyt's voice over the man's screams. He looked up at the ceiling waiting for more.
"Thomas, where're you at?" Hoyt yelled.
Thomas noticed a different tone in his voice. Hoyt for the first time sounded scared. He knew if something scared Hoyt it could not be good. Thomas put his knife down and picked up his chainsaw. He hurried up the stairs and pulled aside the sliding door not bothering to close it.
"Tommy!" Mindy said holding a crying Carrie. "Upstairs. There's someone upstairs with a gun. He's going to shoot Hoyt!"
Thomas nodded. Before leaving, he nudged Mindy into the kitchen with Luda Maw thinking she'd be safe there. He turned and hurried up the stairs with the chainsaw in his hands. Thomas heard voices as he reached the top of the stairs. They were coming from his room.
"Take it easy", Hoyt said as the biker pushed the gun harder in the pack of his head.
He pointed to the girl tied to the bed. She looked awful. She was covered with sweat and blood and could barely move.
"There she is."
"Help me", she whimpered.
"That's not her", the biker said.
"Shit, that ain't her?" Hoyt asked.
He suddenly remembered the other girl. The one he shot and told Thomas to start chopping up. He turned toward the biker shaking his head.
"You don't want to see the other girl."
The biker pushed Hoyt to the wall.
"Shoot him", the girl whimpered.
"You're going to die you son of a bitch", the biker said.
Finally deciding to act, Thomas raised the chainsaw over his head. He came into the room bringing the chainsaw down on the biker's arm making him drop the gun. The biker yelled as he pushed Thomas into the wall, making him drop the chainsaw.
"Get him, Tommy!" Hoyt said watching. "Come on!"
The biker tried to punch Thomas, but Thomas grabbed his arm, twisting it. The sound of breaking bones filled the room, followed by the biker screaming in pain. Thomas threw the biker down on the floor, right on top of the chainsaw. Hoyt grabbed the biker just as he was trying to get up.
"Come on, Tommy!"
Thomas backed away from them unsure of what to do. He won the fight, wasn't that what mattered? Couldn't Hoyt finish him off?
"This is one of those assholes who used to fuck with you in the schoolyard!" Hoyt said.
School… why did Hoyt have to bring those days back? Thomas hated his school days. They were nothing but teasing and bullying. Not until Mindy came along.
"Come on, Tommy! Get over here!"
Hoyt looked at the chainsaw.
"Get that thing going!"
"Tommy!"
Thomas turned his head as he heard Mindy yell from downstairs.
"Tommy, are you alright?"
With Hoyt mentioning school and the addition of hearing Mindy's voice, another memory came back to him. The day the bullies picked on Mindy. If this biker was one of the kids who picked on her, he would be out of luck. Thomas was not going to let that happen again.
"Let's kill him, Tommy!" Hoyt said. "Come on!"
Thomas knelt by the biker and grabbed the chainsaw. He started pulling the cord trying to get it started. The biker yelled in fear knowing what was going to happen. Hoyt smiled as Thomas started up the chainsaw. Thomas took a deep breath as he grabbed the handle. He ran the chainsaw as he pulled it up the biker's body cutting into it. The biker screamed as his body shook with the chainsaw. The girl on the bed screamed in horror as the blood splattered across the curtains, splattering onto her. Thomas felt himself smile as his eyes widened.
This feels good he thought. I like using this.
The chainsaw finally came out from the biker's body as it sliced him in half. The biker laid on the floor in pieces, dead. Thomas waved the chainsaw in front of the girl showing he was not afraid to do it again.
"You beautiful bastard, you!" Hoyt said with a smile on his face.
Blood was smeared on his face and his uniform. He looked at the biker's body as he laughed.
"You fucking asshole!" Hoyt yelled as he hit the body. "You son of a bitch…coming into my fucking house!"
Thomas looked at the floor as he watched the biker's blood pouring onto the floor. He felt proud about what he did. Using the chainsaw on a person felt incredibly good. He liked the way everything shook as he sawed through the skin, the bones and the organs.
"Tommy!" he heard Mindy yell out.
He turned as she came running into the room. He noticed she had a sledgehammer in her hands. His eyes widened. What was she planning on doing with that? Mindy looked down at the biker.
"Oh my god", she gasped. "Did you do this?"
Thomas nodded for once not feeling ashamed.
"Are you okay?" Mindy asked. "I heard the chainsaw from downstairs. Did you hurt yourself?"
He shook his head. He pointed at the sledgehammer she was carrying.
"I was coming to help you!" she said. "I thought you were going to get hurt!"
She dropped the sledgehammer and hugged Thomas despite the blood on him.
