Saw 3 Chapter 7
Sabrina's 8 feet fall from the vent was broken by a mattress on the floor. "Ugh!" Sabrina said upon impact.
She rolled over on her back and saw the timer on the wall. 83:27. Sabrina sat up and looked at her hands and feet. They were all red with minor blisters. Her feet felt cool on the soft tile floor as she walked. She glanced at the walls and ceiling for any windows or doors. Red arrows pointed the way for her to go.
Around the corner was a large room with a wooden table in the back, and someone sitting in a chair. Sabrina stepped closer, narrowing her eyes. "Lucas!"
She ran up to him. "They got you too? Come on, let's get out of here."
"I can't Sabrina," he said.
Sabrina tilted her head. "What are you talking about?" Then she noticed his left arm handcuffed to a pipe on the wall. "Oh."
Lucas folded his lips together. "Yup." He used his right hand to point to a something at the end of the table, out of his reach.
Sabrina looked down at the table and gasped. There was a knife on one corner. "You're not cutting off your hand are you!?"
"No!" Lucas said. "Not the knife. That." He pointed at the cassette player.
Sabrina picked it up and pressed play.
"Welcome to level 2 Sabrina. For this level, you and Lucas will be playing a little game of five finger fillets. The sound of the buzzer will start and stop the level. Once the buzzer rings, you must begin the game. Don't try to go slow. You'll only waste time." The cassette clicked.
Lucas reluctantly placed his right hand on the table and separated his fingers.
Sabrina shook her head. "I'm terrible at this. What if I cut you?"
"Try no to," Lucas said, shakily. "Grab the knife. You heard that man on the tape. Don't stall. There's a time limit on all this."
Sabrina backed up. "This is insane! I don't want to hurt you."
"Oh please. You can't think of anything you hate about me? I'm your boyfriend's best friend. I steal his attention away half the time. Disrupt your plans. Giving you crap for not inviting Maya to that party." Lucas said.
"We've done worse to people before. You only care because you like her." Sabrina asked.
"This is not the time!" Lucas shouted. "Pick up the knife and play the game!"
Sabrina hugged and picked up the knife. She gripped it firmly and pointed the end towards the table.
Buzz!
Sabrina took the knife and poked it between each of Lucas's fingers. She moved as quickly as she safely could.
"You need to go faster," Lucas said. "Don't be afraid. You won't kill me."
Sabrina started to go quicker and quicker across his hand with the knife. Tap tap tap tap tap. Taptaptaptaptap slice.
"Ouch!" Lucas said quickly.
Sabrina stopped. "I'm sorry."
"Keep going." He said. "The buzzer didn't go off."
She started gong again, going faster and faster. Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap slice tap tap tap slice tap tap tap tap tap tap tap slice.
Lucas closed his eyes, flinching after each slice to his fingers.
Tap tap tap slice slice tap slice. "Shit, sorry," Sabrina said. Tap tap tap tap tap.
"I still can't believe you convinced us to do this trap," Amelia said to Maya in the control room.
Sitting on the couch, Maya rolled her eyes.
"It's not a deadly trap," Amelia said.
"They don't always have to be," Maya said.
"That's the point," Amelia said. She through her arms up.
"He's gotten cut like five times," Maya said. "End the round already."
"No," Amelia said. "He's in no immediate danger."
Maya sat up straight. "He could bleed out if she cut off his finger."
"The game will end before that could happen," Amelia said.
The saw team watched on the screen as Sabrina continued to move the knife across Lucas's hand, slicing it up. After a few moments, Samuel stepped forward and hit the buzzer.
