Death Trap: Life or Death?

Chapter 4

Eric laid there unaware of what was about to begin. The man that was in here with him had left him alone, in some place that was cold and very damp. The sounds of scraping metal could be heard above him. His body was shaking from the cold and mostly fear. Cold stinking water continuosly dripping onto his face and into his mouth. Causing him to gag and cough, trying anything to keep it from getting into his throat. A painful throbbing was in his stomach, some kind of device was inbidded into his sternum. Something that was made of some kind of metal. The sounds of groaning pipes could be heard, like weight was be putting into it. His skin was turning a pale white from the blood loss, the wound that was made in his throat was deep enough to make him bleed a pretty good amount of blood.

His eye lids were sore, as if they were sewed together. They were infact sewed together, bruising was starting to color around his eyes. He felt himself starting to turn cold. A harsh gasping came from him as his body started slightly shaking. From fear and shock of dying and bleeding a great amount of blood. The sounds of voices were muffeled behind the doors that lead to his room. He opened his mouth and then closing, like a fish out of water. He tried speaking but words wouldn't come out. Every inch of his body was numb, not able to move yet. There was a scraping sound then a loud buzz. That Sarah and Kyle was all to fimilar with. And that dark voice once more boomed into the room.

" It's seems that you have found the next door to your next game. This game is going to be different, you see your friend Eric has to opponets to choose his life. Will you two work as a team to save him? Or leave him as he is? This is what happens if you fail to find the key... You will see the device above him and that is inbidded into his flesh. It is a device that will tear him open just enough for that machince to hook itself into his small intestines that will slowly in an agonizing pain will pull it free from him. Which will kill him slowly and painfully. What will you choose? His life or yours? There is a key... Hidden inside one of you, which one of you is it? And will you scarifice yourself for his?" Sarah and Kyle stood there in the dimly light room, standing before the door that held Eric's fate. Bewildered of what they just heard.

"What the fuck does he mean, one of us have it? We wouldn't kill eachother just to save him. Would we? I'm not going to give him any kind of sick pleasure and watching us... There has to be another way!" Kyle snapped. He cut angry eye to Sarah.

She gave a shake of her head, she knew what had to be done. She had picked up a small knife that was in the other room. Kyle watched as she slowly reached down toward the edge of her skirt removing a knife. His eye went wide as she stumbled back some.

"I have to... Eric he doesn't deserve this I already lost Micheal...I can't lose him to." Kyle moved back, not believeing that she would even consider killing him. She raised tired and exhausted eyes to her friend and gave a weak smile. Her grip on the knife tightening, she forced her unwilling body to walk. Step by step, inch by inch. Kyle could feel his heart start to race. He brought up his hands infront of him in a protective manner. Moving back from her, fearing the worst...

"Fuck Sarah, are you nuts! Killing me isn't going to help. We don't know if that sick fuck is even telling the truth! Just drop it okay?" He said pleading with her. She moved closer gripping his shirt, giving a hard jerk to him, making him stumble toward her. Kyle's first reaction was to grab her hands, do anything to stop her from doing the unthinkable. She titled her head to one side, as if to measure something from behind him.

"Kill you? Kyle i'm not going to harm you.." She whispered. Her eyes locking otno something behind him. Curiousty got the better of him as he looked behind his shoulder. There was a small visible camera nestled into the wall. Kyle turned quick to look at it, fruious he grabbed ahold of the camera ripping it from the rotten wall.

"I can't believe this! This bastard is sick enough to watch us kill eachother for his sick little game!." He growled throwing the miniture camera to the floor. Sarah sighed nodding some, she started to point to him that was more then one in here. Kyle let his eyes drift around the room, cataching another one in the ceiling. He groaned running shaking hands through his hair. Kicking over a chair that was nearby. " Fuck!" He cursed. Not believing this was all real, but it was very much real. Sarah gripped ahold of Kyle's shirt trying to calm him down.

"Please! Kyle calm down, if we are to get out of this... we need to survive this sick game. First we need to help Eric..." Kyle shook his head, moving back some. He wasn't really sure if he wanted to do this. He just had his life spared thanks to Sarah. Wasn't that enough? It didn't seem enough for this guy, he wasn't no where near finished with them. Sarah gripped his hand and gave pleading eyes to him.

"Please... Kyle?" She said, she knew he never did like Eric but he had to put differences aside. "This is a human life, we can't let him die, now help me stop this before he dies to." Kyle stood there for a few momemts before nodding.

"Fine, but how? How the Hell do you expect us to get in there?" She turned gripping ahold of the door knob. Bitting the bottom of her lip she gave a turn and it easily opened.

"Like that." She replied before rushing in. Kyle made no time as he followed her in. Then the dreadful sound of the timer started to tick away once more. Sarah gave out a gasp as she seen the condition Eric was in. She made her way over to him.

"Eric? Are you okay." Eric gave a jerk, as Sarah gently touched him before relaxing.

"G...G...Get...Me...Ou..." Was all he got out. Sarah got the messege and nodded vigerously. Tears starting to come once more.

"Don't worry Eric were going to get you out of here.." She whimpered.

"Come on! Sarah! We don't have time to fuck around, find the goddamn key. Help me find it." He snapped at her not really meaning to. As he frantically tore through the room. She nodded as she ran over to his side and started to help him look for the key. Where would it be? They weren't sure. And if that psychotic bastard was right. What would they do to get that key?
