Saw 3 Chapter 8
Amelia and Maya turned to Samuel. Maya stood up. Amelia looked like she was about to say something, but no sound came out. Maya looked over at Amelia and back to Samuel. Not a word was spoken. Samuel took a moment before leaving the room.
Amelia let out a small scoff. "What was that?"
Maya's eyes went upward and she collapsed.
"Maya?" Amelia asked. She ran to her and caught her before Maya could hit her head in the floor.
Sabrina held the knife up in the air and stared at the result. Lucas's fingers were sliced up. Some slices where quite deep. There was blood all over the table, outlining Lucas's hand. His thumb only had one cut on it.
"I'm sorry Lucas." Sabrina said. She backed up and dropped the knife on the floor.
A secret hallway opened up in the room. Sabrina ran through it, out of Lucas's sight.
Red arrows continued to lead the way throughout the warehouse.
Coty woke up that morning to the sound of several sirens. She peeked outside the curtains of her room and saw several police cars at Ava's house. Her banner was still up.
At Ava's house, Katy was being questioned by officers. She fell asleep at the house, while five people were kidnapped. A few other partiers were questioned too. One ran, thinking he would be arrested for underage drinking. The police caught him and interrogaed him, only to get no answers.
At the end of the hallway, Sabrina saw another cassette tape and a timer. 75:05.
Sabrina grabbed the cassette player at the end of the hallway, right before a turn. It was dark down there.
"Level 3. Sabrina for this level, you must walk down these stairs before you. It's not as easy as it sounds. These stairs are covered in broken glass. And don't think of sliding the glass off. It's been glued on. Don't waste time. The clock is ticking. Your friends are waiting." The tape clicked.
Sabrina found a light switch and saw the horrors beneath. She counted each step. 22. She replayed the tape. Sabrina took a deep breath. "It doesn't say I have to touch each step."
Sabrina slowly lowered her foot on to the first step. She felt multiple sharp objects pressing into her skin. She pressed her foot down on the step and bit her arm. When she shifted the weight onto that leg to move the other foot down, the pain became too much and she moved back to the top of the stairs.
She sat down and examined her injured foot. Blisters, cuts, and bits of blood. "Haven't my feet suffered enough today?"
Sabrina turned back to the timer. 70:52.
She slowly stood up and looked down the staircase again. She took a deep breath and whimpered. "You need to do this. For your friends. For your life."
Sabrina quickly went down the steps as fast as she could. Each step bringing more pain, more cuts, and more bleeding. Half way through she thought she might pass out from the pain in her feet. The pain spread up to her calves. Sabrina almost fell down twice. She cried as she went down.
On the forth to last step, Sabrina stumbled and fell down the stairs. She landed on her chest on the hard floor. Both her feet were all cut up.
In the control room, Amelia patter a cool towel over Maya's forehead. Maya coughed roughly. Samuel watched from the doorway. Amelia turned to him and left the room.
Samuel closed the door and stated, "She's not doing well. At all."
"She only has days left..." Amelia and.
"I know this hard for-" Samuel said.
"She's running out of time. Every minute counts." Amelia went back into the control room and changed the timer for the game. The minutes got lower.
"You're taking away her time limit!?" Samuel asked.
"She's good on time anyway. Ahead of time. Sabrina still has a chance." Amelia said.
The timer now said 45:00.
