So, I have seen the first Saw film for my Scarytober event and this is one of the most psychologically haunting films I've ever seen. Normally, I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies, but there are some films in the genre that I consider favorites, such as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho or The Babadook. This is also loosely based on Aragorn II Elessar II's "Warren Gets Chainsaw Massacred", where Warren Mears gets killed by an iconic horror villain. The story will be set between seasons 5 & 6.

Following the events surrounding April and Buffy Summers, Warren Mears left Sunnydale and decided to travel around the country, eventually ending up in an unknown city in the US. Warren hated the Slayer so much that he blamed her for destroying his relationship with Katrina and thought to himself had she not entered his house to ask him about April's behavior, he and Katrina would have been together forever and Warren would have made sure that she would be devoted to him. After all, wasn't what he thought about women? Slaves for his own pleasure? That certainly was the only thing Warren thought about women, nothing more than objectified trophies for him to thirst on and treat like meat. For a rational human being, this would be called misogyny, but for Warren, he considered it a declaration of love.

However, when Buffy tracked Warren down and arrived on his doorstep to ask him about April's behavior, Katrina told April that Warren was her boyfriend and found herself attacked by the robot, eventually destroying her relationship with Warren. From there on, he began blaming Buffy for destroying their relationship and sought revenge against her, but for now, he decided to leave town after creating a robotic version of the Slayer for the vampire Spike and headed to an unnamed city to get his mind off Katrina and to plan his revenge on the Slayer.

One day, Warren left one of the nightclubs in the city and headed back to his newly rented apartment, having satisfied his sexual desires. As he entered the kitchen, Warren began hearing random noises.

"Who is it?" Warren inquired, sensing that someone had entered the apartment.

Warren utilized a flashlight and a baseball bat and decided to check out the area, wanting to find out where did this noise come from. While checking out the living room, he heard a sinister laughter and turned around to see a mechanical ventriloquist puppet, who was wearing a suit and had red spirals on both sides of his cheeks. He also had long black hair and a sinister laugh. Frightened by its appearance, Warren used the baseball bat to destroy the puppet before he headed further to his bedroom, where he realized the source of these noises.

Warren reached his bedroom and looked at his closet, sensing that the intruder might have gone hiding in his closet. Whatever who the intruder was, Warren would take him down.

"Who's in there? Come out!" Warren yelled as he readied his baseball bat and opened the door of his closet. "I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!"

Just as he reached further into his closet, Warren was suddenly attacked by an intruder wearing a pig mask. Warren tried to struggle against the intruder, but was eventually overwhelmed and passed into unconsciousness as he felt his world going blurry.


Less than two hours later, Warren woke up to find himself in an abandoned place, where he looked around and began to feel uncomfortable due of the environment that he was in. As he continued looking around, he grabbed a small mirror and saw that his right eye was heavily injured and stitched up. He also realized that he was stripped to his boxers and had a spiky, metallic device strapped around his neck. As he touched his eye, Warren panicked and stood up from his chair. Never in his life had he felt this afraid. Not even Buffy could make him afraid.

"Help me! Somebody? Anyone? Help!" Warren screamed as he begged for anyone to help in this situation, but his pleas went on deaf ears.

Suddenly, the TV turned on right in front of Warren and he turned around to see the puppet turning his head to face him. Warren quickly figured out it was the same puppet that he encountered in his apartment and the puppet was responsible for his capture.

"Hello, Warren." The puppet said, his voice was chilling as it was sinister. "You don't know me, but I know you. I want to play a game. So far in your so-called life, you have been utilizing women as your object for sexual desires and submitting them to become your slaves. People would call you a misogynist, a sexual predator. I call you unworthy of the body you possess. If you want to prove your worth of living, you must shed some blood." Warren was frighted by the voice as he touched the device around his neck. "The device around your neck is a death mask. The mask is on a spring timer. If you do not locate the key in time, the mask will close. Think of it like a Venus Flytrap. As for the key, I'm going to give a small hint as to where I've hidden it; it's right before your eyes."

As the puppet continued, Warren grabbed a couple of X-rays of his head lying on top of the TV, where he realized that the key was hidden behind his eye.

"How much blood will you shed to stay alive, Warren? Live or die. Make your choice." The puppet gave out its final warning before the TV turned off, leaving Warren more panicked than ever before.

"Who the fuck are you? What the fuck is going on?" Warren was still bewildered by what was happening in front of his eyes and his fear grew even more.

Warren put down the X-rays and tried to figure a way out of this place. As he tried to get himself free, Warren accidentally caused a metal pin to be pulled out of the trap which caused the timer to count down. Realizing his game had begun, Warren walked around and saw a small toolbox on the floor. He quickly reached the box and opened it revealing a scalpel beneath it. As he took the scalpel, he realized if he needed to get out of this place, he would have to cut through his right eye. Fearful for his life, Warren then stepped into the mirror and began cutting out the stitches in his right eye. Blood began coming out of his eye and Warren stopped for a moment as he sensed his pain and his eye bled out. If he needed to get out alive, he would need to endure this pain.

Realizing that time was running out slowly, Warren breathed out and continued cutting out his, and despite suffering a massive amount of pain, he was able to rip out the key, but at the cost of his eye, which was now filled with blood. However, when Warren tried to free himself from the mask, the lock was without function, leaving him no chance of survival.

"Help me! Get me out of here!" Warren screamed, his fear intensified, as he realized he had no way out.

With only a few seconds left, all Warren could do was to fall on his knees and cry as he continued to scream for help, but no avail. As the timer went off, Warren realized he was screwed.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Warren panicked.

Suddenly, the mask closed on his face and Warren's head was impaled by the mask's brutal spikes, killing him in the process. Warren's lifeless corpse fell down on the floor and the floor was filled with his blood.


And that's the end of the story. This is actually the first time I've made a Buffy fanfic and while I haven't seen the show, I've read multiple fics from Aragorn II Elessar and Bl4ckHunter featuring the series and enjoyed them, especially the ones with Willow/Tara as the main couple. The trap that Warren was in is the Death Mask from Saw II. Before I started doing this fic, I researched a bit about Warren Mears and I decided to set the story between his appearances in Seasons 5 & 6.

But alas, RIP Warren Mears... Not!

Let me know your thoughts on this story and I hope you enjoyed it. Stay safe everyone and take care.
