Saw 3 Chapter 6
The timer on the wall began counting down.
"No!" Sabrina shouted. "How do I get out?" Sabrina pressed play on the cassette player. It clicked again. She took the tape out and flipped it over. When she pressed play, the voice continued speaking.
"For level one, you will have to climb into the air vent and find a room with the lights turned on-"
Sabrina paused the tape. "What air vent?" She checked the room again. Not on the walls. Not on the ceiling. Not on the floor. Sabrina looked back at the bed. It was blocking part of the wall. She tried to move the bed but it wouldn't budge. It was screwed to the ground! Sabrina looked underneath and found the air vent. It was more than big enough for her to fit inside.
Sabrina continued the tape.
"Landing inside the wrong room will waste time and may cost lives. Don't look for an escape. Look for a way to win the game. One last thing about the air vent, the temperature will raise every ten seconds. Don't delay."
Sabrina let out a whimper. She looked at the timer. Three minutes had already passed. Sabrina lied and on the floor and began to army crawl her way into the air vent.
"Ah," Sabrina said. Her hands felt the heat of the vents already. It must have been at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit. "Thank God I wore long sleeves," she said.
Sabrina army crawled her way through the vent for several feet until the vent enlarged, allowing her to crawl on her knees.
Sabrina heard a beeping sound go off. The vent began to get hotter. Sabrina lifted her hands up, wincing at the pain. Her hands were all red. She tucked her hands into her sleeves and continued crawling. This method soothes the pain, but lessened the friction to move throughout the vent.
The beeping sound went off again. "Ah!" Sabrina said. She lifted up her bare feet, applying more weight to her knees on the metal surface.
Sabrina felt a rush of relief as she found another air vent. Her relief faded when she didn't see any light coming from it.
The beeping went off again and Sabrina whined. She started moving again as fast as she could. The heat was making her sweat immensely, which made her slip inside the vents.
Tired, Sabrina put her feet down, which she immediately regretted. "Ahhh!" Her toes were burning! She fell over. "Please don't let me die like this!"
Sabrina slowly gathered herself up and continued crawling through the hot vents. She slipped right into another gap for an air vent cap. Like the first one, there was no light.
Sabrina screamed and cried. "Oh my God."
Through the small cameras in the vents, The Saw team was able to watch Sabrina during stage one, from their control room in the basement.
"What a wimp," Amelia said.
"It's almost 200 degrees in there," Maya said. "I'm sweating just looking at her."
Samuel looked over at Maya. She was right. She was sweating a lot. "Maya, maybe you should sit down."
Maya sighed but listened to Samuel's advice. She sat down on the couch inside the control room.
"If she doesn't hurry, she's going to burn at level one," Amelia said.
"Should we stop the air vents from rising?" Samuel asked. "Let it remain at the current temperature?" He went over to a lever.
Amelia put her hand over the lever, stopping Samuel. "Not so fast... she's getting up."
Inside the vents, Sabrina moved faster than ever across the vents. She turned the corner and saw a light! She quickly crawled over to the air vent cap with the light coming through. She sat down and placed her feet on the air vent cap. Then she kicked it.
The air vent cap shook and chimed, but it did not open. She kicked it again. Same result.
She continued to kick the air vent cap as the temperature rose again. "Come on!" Sabrina shouted. "I found it. I'm so close."
She put her whole body into it this time. She back up on the vents and dove into the air vent cap.
The vent opened up, and Sabrina fell through.
