Both Sydney and Olive were scared beyond their senses, the figures were tall and all of them had different pieces of hardware going into different parts of their bodies, like the one who spoke who had its head pierced by nails all over it. Another had parts of its chest pulled open by thin cables.
-You have activated the box and we have come - the one with the nails on the had said
-Em… Emmy… what did you do…?
-I'm sorry… I love you all but… I have to do this…
Sydney turned in shock the minute she heard Olive gasp her eyes opened wide as she saw Emmy's hands and the cube, now turned into a spear-like form were covered in blood, that came from Olive as she had pulled her and literally stabbed the blonde teenager
-OLIVE! NO! EMMY ARE YOU CRAZY!
The latina had her eyes closed with tears coming out.
-I'm doing what I must…
-Olive come on, I'll get you to a hospital, get up…
-I'm d… dizzy…
-COME ON! YOU HAVE TO GET UP!
But as the brunette helped her friend up, barbed wire that came out of nowhere wrapped around her leg.
-SYDNEY!
Both fell back to the floor as the barbed wire pulled the blonde girl. Sydney desperately tried to unwrap the leg of her friend only to see her other leg being wrapped as well, then, in a sudden pull she screamed and a second later the blond disappeared in a dark void.
-NOOOOOO! OLIVEEE!
The figure with the pulled out chest spoke.
-Just one more…
Sydney was crying when she felt Olive walking behind her
-I'm sorry Syd…
But the brunette was quick to move when the latina tried to hit her in the head with the cube.
-EMMY!
-I HAVE TO!
But as she tried again Sydney tackled her down and the cube fell to the floor, she was quick to pick it up and run out of the room.
-NO! ¡GIVE IT BACK!
The brunette ran to the library where she noticed an open book with a picture of the cube. Taking it, she ran and hid in one of the upper rooms of the house. She got into a closet and using a small lantern began to read while at the same time Emmy desperately looked for her. If she was terrified before, the more she read her horror grew limitless.
-oh my God…
-SYDNEY! GIVE ME THE CUBE AND I'LL BRING OLIVE AND SOFIA BACK!
Thinking that her "friend" was gone she came out of her hiding place, slowly she opened the door and looked outside, she had only taken two steps when everything went black. First there were sounds and a voice that seemed to come from a very far place, her sight took long to focus, as she tried to rub her eyes she realized her hands were tied up.
-w… what….
Then her eyes finally focused and she saw Emmy going over some papers and realized they were in the library of the house.
-EMMY YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME!
-Sydney… I thought you of all people would understand…
-oh my God… this is about your mom…
-Yes, and they are going to give me the power to bring her back…
-NO! THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!
-You're the one who doesn't understand… the power the cenobites can give you is limitless…
-LISTEN TO ME! THEY ONLY LOVE PAIN AND TORTURE!
-Do you think this is easy? I loved Sophia more than you think… but I had to do it… I'm sorry I need to finish this…
Sydney saw the latina approach her
-Emmy please…
-I'm sorry… it'll be over quickly… I promise…
But as she went to stab her she closed her eyes, the brunette took advantage and was quick to kick her and the latina fell back… with her hand getting pierced by the speared shaped box.
-OW! no… NO! NOT ME!
Sydney saw in terror as several chains with hooks flew out of nowhere and seconds later Emmy was hanging high above her friend.
-SYDNEY HELP ME!
The brunette was about to open her mouth when the three ominous figures, the cenobites appeared out of nowhere and walked towards her. The one with the nails on its head picked the box from the floor.
-You have offered the last sacrifice… what is it that you want from us?
Sydney found herself untied and got up, glaring at the figure and in a whisper for a voice she answered.
-nothing… I want nothing… no power… nothing….
-SYDNEY NO!
-SILENCE! WE WILL FEAST WITH YOUR SOUL FOR ETERNITY…
-NOO! SYDNE
The brunette just stood there, motionless as the body of the last of her friends exploded in a rain of blood as the chains pulled in all directions. A few moments later she fell to her knees crying uncontrollably, then she began to laugh, she laid on her back and continued laughing… the news of the four missing teenagers filled tv screens, newspapers and radio stations all over Portland, Oregon, but the mystery was never solved, nobody ever heard about Sydney Reynolds, Olive Rozalsky, Sophia Andersen and Emmy Mendoza. The closest an investigator got was the door of what seemed to be an abandoned mansion where he could have sworn he said what seemed to be a teenage girl smirking at him…
End…
