The Butterfly

2.014 inches of rainfall

Sara parked her car in front of the address for the second trial. It was a large unused power station. Sara was confused, wondering what she was supposed to do here; she then saw a white butterfly painted on the wall, next to a small door.

'I have to follow the butterflies, right, got it,' She realized, 'Better get going.'

She got out of her car and walked over to the door next to the painted butterfly, it was unlocked so she opened it and headed inside. She looked around the yard and saw another side door with a white butterfly painted on it. She hurried over and headed inside, she found herself in a small room; the only feature was a large cover over what looked like a pipe. Seeing nothing else Sara turned the valve and opened the cover, the pipe was narrow and long; on the edge was a box of matches. She picked them up and used one to check the pipe, she couldn't see far inside.

'I have to crawl through it I think, but what is going to happen here...the origami said suffering,' She shook her head and extinguished the match, she climbed into the pipe and began crawling along, the cover swung closed behind her, she had no choice but to go forward.

She continued crawling along the pipe and soon found out what Scott had meant by 'suffering'. As she continued to crawl she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hand, she pulled it back quickly and saw it was cut. She pulled out the matches and struck on and saw something that horrified her.

'The tunnel's covered in broken glass, I've gotta crawl through it. Okay, take it slowly and carefully, it'll hurt like hell but what other choice do I have.'

Extinguishing the match Sara prepared herself and began the long tortuous crawl over the broken class, she winced as she felt the glass cut into her, luckily her clothes were thick enough to shield most of the damage. Soon however she came to a fork in the path.

'Crap, which way now...can't see a thing, where are those matches?' She thought desperately.

She pulled them out and struck one and saw the flame moving towards the right.

'Of course, oxygen, that's the way out.' She realized.

So she extinguished the match and began crawling to the right, heading further down the tunnel, she came to another fork, this time the oxygen was coming from the left so she turned that way.

After a long torturous crawl Sara finally crawled out of the pipe and hit the ground in agony. She forced herself to her feet and saw another pipe ahead of her; this one was smaller and required her to slide down. Gritting her teeth against the pain Sara climbed into the pipe and slid down. When she landed she had to take a moment to recover before getting back to her feet. What she saw next horrified her even more; the table that had the memory card holding what she needed was on the other side of the room, but blocking her path a maze of live electrical condensers with wires connecting them and forming blockades.

'This is out of his mind,' She thought before realizing, 'Not all the wires are live, there is a path through, I just need to follow it.'

Managing to smile she forced herself onwards; she found the dead wires and slowly, cautiously slipped through them. She was now in the maze, slowly but surely, cautiously checking each set of wires beforehand she made her way through. Finally she made it through to the end, exhausted and in agony; she staggered over to the table and had to grab it to stay upright. She picked up the memory card and pulled out the phone, she plugged it in and watched as she was treated to yet another video of Holly, the water was now up to the poor girl's knees and she was clearly terrified. The video disappeared and the hangman appeared again, this time more letters were revealed.

The screen then went blank. Sara looked around and mercifully saw a door to her right. She walked over and opened it and found herself back outside. She retraced her steps and got back to her car, she drove home, trying hard to ignore the pain.

When she finally arrived home it took a lot of effort for her to get out of the car. She staggered up to the door and opened it; Grissom was waiting and caught her as she fell.

"Sara?" He gasped surprised, she shook her head, "I...I managed to...clear the trial."

Grissom helped her inside and got to work treating her injuries. She was a mess, soaked through, cuts along her arms and knees, Grissom got to work disinfecting and bandaging the injuries. Finally after he finished he stood.

"You should get some rest," He said, Sara shook her head, "No, I have to keep going, the longer this takes the less chance Holly has at surviving."

"Sara, you keep this up you'll get yourself killed before you can save her." Grissom reasoned, finally she sighed and nodded, "Okay...I'll do the third trial, then I'll rest, okay."

Grissom hesitated but then agreed; Sara walked over to the table and sat down, looking over the origami figures. She found the one numbered three, shaped like a lizard; she opened it and read the address and the typewritten words.

'Are you prepared to make a sacrifice to save your child?'

Sara swallowed, 'sacrifice' now things were getting crazy. She pocketed the origami paper and nodded to Grissom before heading back out and driving to the address for the third trial.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
