Death Trap: Life Or Death?

Chapter 6

Back to Sarah and Kyle...

Sarah Stephens was hunched over a small sliver box that she and Kyle had found inside the room. The sound of the timer was ticking away reminding them not much time was left. They weren't sure if this box held the key they needed, but they were desperate enough to try anyway. The small sliver box was tightly locked with a small simple lock. Sarah had tried frantically slamming the box against the wall,but nothing happened. She tried prying it open with the nife that she had swiped from the last room. But underneath the pressure, it broke from the rusty blade snapping easily like a twig. Kyle stood close behind her trying to assure her that it wasn't going to open and they needed to find another way. Sarah ignored him trying anyways, but he kneeled down beside her grabbing up her wrists pulling her attention from the box.

"Sarah, that box can't be opened without a fucking lock. And i doubt that holds the key we need. That fuck has it somewhere else..." She tried to fight him off, knowing time was running out. But then she calmed down, her eyes cutting over to Eric's very much pale body. "Come on, let's find something else..." She nodded as she stood up.

Kyle looked wildly around, things turned over and broken and so far they had found nothing. He gave a sigh as he let himself drift off to think. Would the key really be inside one of us? If so... Which one is it? He thought

dryly, his eyes going to his friend. Sick thoughts ran through his head, his sanity growing thin, but he quickly pushed the thought away. He could never harm Sarah, she did save his own, but then again who says she would save his life again if needed? He couldn't rely on her everytime, and saving Eric meant that he could move on...

"You're right Kyle we need to find something... But what? There isn't anything, we've looked everywhere... Kyle?" She said, slightly turning around to face him. He didn't seemed to be in the right state of mind, infact he didn't look that right... At the moment. "Kyle?" She whimpered. She moved back a little from him as she saw him bend over snatching up the broken piece of the blade that had broken from the nife. No expression showed on his face as she took a step forward.

"One of us had that key Sarah. What i'm thinking is you're the one that holds that key, i can't rely on you saving my life once more. If i save Eric, that means i would be one more step closer to getting out of here." Sarah shook her head widly, causing her dirty hair to fall around her dirty face. Her eyes showing the fear she felt. She couldn't believe he would think that she would not save his life again. She would in a heart beat, they were all in here together. That meant they had to survive together.

"Kyle, thats bullshit. I'm would save you if i had to... We all need to stay together survive this sick game. Put the fucking blade down." She demanded not meaning to be so harsh, but it seemed that he wasn't listening to her at all. He gripped th blade tighter in his hand as he walked toward her slowly. His eyes growing dull like those of a doll.

" I have to, its every man for himself." He whispered. He cut his eyes to the time which only had seconds away from going off. "Anyways one of us has to die anyways if Eric is to live. Time is running out, don't you want him to live Sarah?" Sarah took her eyes off him for a minute to take a glance at the clock. And that was all he needed as he slammed his body into hers, her small form slamming heavily into the rooten wall. She cried out as something solid hit right into her kidneys. She felt as he gripped ahold of her neck to get better leverage on stabbing range. She shot up a hand right under neath his throat, balled into a fist. He gagged some, but never letting go. She wasn't going to let him kill her in this place. She wasn't going to stand there and let him killer anyways.

"Come on Sarah stay still it wont hurt to much i promise." He growled. His face coming inches from her own. Fearing the worst she felt him apply pressure against her. She fought against him trying to get him away, she knew now that he wasn't going to be reasoned with. She send her kee flying upwards to knee him righ in the crotch. He screamed loosing grip on her as he doubled over. She didn't hesitate she reached down to grab the blade from him. Her eyes went wide as she felt his hand grab ahold of her left ankle, and shot it right from underneath her. Her back slamming heavy to the floor. He was ontop of her before she realized it. Frustrated with her, he started to try to pry the blade from her. But she leaned in biting the side of his hands tasting his blood fill her mouth. She made a face as this was sick and not good tasting for blood. But she managed to hold onto the blade. He growled some as he held his hand for a moment, closing his eyes tightly. This was her chance, she quickly brought up the blade, piercing the sternum of Kyle. His eyes flew open as pain seized his whole body.

His mouth growing in O as he felt the blade shove deeper into his sternum. He dropped his eyes to his friend, and managed to choke out. "B...Bitch..." He gurgeled, before his big form fell forwards. Sarah panicking tried shoving him off, but he was heavy. She seemed to scoot out from underneath him. She only thought about it once before she flipped his dead form over. She knew he might have the key in him, so she was going to try. She swallowed some trying to push the lump back from her throat, she felt like hurling but she had to get it... Eric's life depended on it. She gripped ahold of the nife, as she ripped it up in a quick motion. Blood started surfacing as she ripped open the cavern that once was her friend. Tears ran down her cheeks as she thought of ever doing this, she didn't want to be forced to do this, but he was going to kill her if she didn't.

She shoved her hands into the warm insides of Kyles body. She gripped the smoothness of intestines and other organs and ripped it out from the dead body of her friend. She fumbled through it all as she found the key she needed. She let out a loud sob as she stumbled to feet and ran to Eric's side, when that dreadful sound of the timer buzzed and the machince kicked on...
