Saw 3 Chapter 11
A secret passageways revealed itself in the room where level 4 took place. The passage was in the floor, revealing a slide. Blood from Ava's trap spilled all the way down to the slide.
"A slide?" Sabrina asked. She reluctantly sat down and pushed off to slide down. She put her hand and feet on the sides of the plastic slide to avoid going too fast. She looked around, back and forth, and above her as she went down the slide.
Sabrina was relieved there weren't any spikes or sharp objects at the end of the slide. She got up, with a streak of Ava's blood down her back from the slide.
A small light illuminated the room. There was a small four foot tall contraption near the wall. Next to the device, was a thin bed. A cassette player lied on the bed.
Sabrina walked over to the bed and picked up the cassette tape. She looked around and found the timer on the wall: 25:47.
Sabrina pressed play on the cassette player.
"Level 5. You spent your time tormenting others. Being selfish. Today, you're going to do a very selfless thing. But it won't be painless. For this level you must lie down on this surface and remain in that position during the entirety of the level. There are items on the table to help. You must lie down the whole time or it will be more painful. Fear not. This machine will not kill you. Press the green button to start the level." Click.
Sabrina looked at the table. There were two squishies and some gauze and bandages. "What the hell is that thing going to do?" She looked back at the timer. 24:58. Sabrina took a deep breath and lied down on the bed. She grabbed the squishies and put in in each hand. She stared at the green button on the contraption and panted. What is that gonna do to me? How much will it hurt? Is it going to cut off my leg? Will it stab me? Am I going to loose my eyes? Her mind ran wild in fear of this machine. She glanced at the timer. 23:38. Sabrina took a few breaths, preparing herself. She quickly hit the button and lied very still.
The contraption began to make noises at it moved around. One part of the machine extended out and positioned itself right over the right side of Sabrina's waist. Sabrina lifted her head up to see the machine. "What are you going to do?"
The extended part of the machine lower down, spinning. It was a drill!
Sabrina watched as the drill slowly lowered itself getting closer to her skin. She squeezes the squishies firmly. She was already crying before the drill reached her skin and went into her bone. She sat up and screamed. She lied back down and screamed some more. The cracking sound as it entered her hip bone made Sabrina's mouth open, but nothing came out. The pain was so bad, she thought she might die. Another part of the machine went over to her hip and look fluid out of it. Sabrina lied down, tears streaming down her face.
Maya woke up in the control room after her dream. Her eyes locked on the screen where level 5 was taking place. She saw Sabrina and that machine. Maya sat up on the couch. She was still sweaty and pale. She wiped off the sweat. "This level's new."
Amelia spun around quickly by the screens. "You're awake." She held Maya's hands. "We're so close. Minutes away now."
"From what?" Maya asked. "What is this?"
Amelia beamed with pride. "Your second chance. I found you a match for bone marrow."
Maya looked back at the screen. "You mean Sabrina?"
"Yes," Amelia said, still smiling.
"How could you know that?" Maya asked. She backed up on the couch and took the blanket off of her.
"My research skills." Amelia said. "When we were at the hospital after going to the mall with the girls, I found her file. She's a match for you."
"That's why you chose her. That's why you were adamant about her being a player." Maya said. She pulled away from Amelia. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to surprise you."
"No, you didn't want to risk that I'd convince you otherwise." Maya raised her voice.
"Take it easy." She put her hand on Maya's shoulder.
Maya rolled her shoulder. "That's one of the most painful surgeries. Patients are put to sleep for such a procedure. She must be in agony."
Amelia smirked. "I mean is that such a bad thing? She is a terrible person after all. And she hasn't changed yet. She killed Ava."
"She let her die. There's a difference," Maya said.
"Your life is more important than hers!" Amelia shouted.
Maya looked away from Amelia. "You should have told. Now Sabrina may not even make it to the last two levels."
"She has gauze to wrap up her surgery." Amelia said.
"That's not enough. The pain... it might be too much for her." Maya said.
Amelia folded her lips and glanced back at the screen.
"I don't understand how you can still hate her," Maya said. "She is saving my life after all."
"It's the one good thing she'll ever do in her life," Amelia said.
"But she may not even know she did it. She may not even make it." Maya said. "This is why we discuss our plans for traps together... Does Samuel know?"
Amelia smirked and answered, "He built the machine."
The machine shut off and was quiet. Sabrina lies on the bed, unmoving. Her breathing slowed. She barely blinked.
The timer moved, not that Sabrina was checking it. 17:08.
