Light stung when Tabby opened her eyes. Confused and dazed, she sat up and the familiar smell told her she was back in the bathroom. Suddenly, she realized the room was different from the last time. She looked in every direction and saw new items such as a big digital clock with red numbers set to an hour. She looked up at the ceiling and her eyes widen. Nail bombs.

"What the hell.." she muttered.

"Tabby.."

Tabby turned and saw Adam still chained to the pipe but lying still on his back. "Tabby, I-I can't move my body. I can't only move my head! Why? What's going on?" His voice was filled with terror.

"Oh God.. No.." Tabby realized she was being tested and turned to the newly repaired two-sided mirror.

A room was built next door to the bathroom recently in case the bathroom needed to be used for a future game and needed to be watched closely. Tabby knew, she knew behind the mirror the others were watching.

Tabby's eyes looked around and caught a saw lying before her. She grabbed it, held it and wondered what she needed this for. She also wondered why shewasn't chained up in anyway.

Squeaking wheels could be heard and caused Tabby to turn around to see her puppet friend, Billy. He was ready to give the rules.

"Hello, Tabitha." Billy said, "You wanted to save Adam's life. However, you didn't follow the rules. You were told not to touch Adam and yet you did anyway. You broke the rules. Those who break rules suffer the consequences. This is your consequence, your test.

In your hand is a saw. Before you is Adam, the man you want to so desperately save. You have one hour to free Adam from his chain or the nail bombs dangling above you will go off and the remains of Adam as well as yourself will remain here to rot. Live or die, Tabitha. Make your choice."

Tabby took a deep breath and crawled over to Adam who hadn't moved but was still alive. She looked at the saw in her hand and then at Adam and then placed the saw on his chained foot.

"What are you doing?" Adam asked.

"It's the only way.." Tabby told him. "I'm sorry.."

She began to cut but was startled by Adam's scream.

"You can't move.. but you can still feel.." Tabby said, her own words haunting her.

John was sitting down in his chair in the room next door to the bathroom. He was watching as Mark and Amanda were setting up Tabby in her test. Soon, his two assistants joined him in the room, Amanda stood at his left while Mark stood on John's right side.

"What will this teach her exactly?" Mark asked, arms crossed. Nothing about this made him feel good about what he had done.

"To follow the rules." John said. "Tabitha's inability to follow rules exactly as they are given will be her greatest downfall if she doesn't learn."

"I don't see how having her cut off Adam's foot will help her learn." Mark responded.

"Shut up, she's waking." Amanda said.

The three watched as Tabby moved around, as she listened to Billy's instructions and as her realization of Adam came to her.

"You can't move.. but you can still feel.." they heard Tabby say.
"She can't do it."Amanda said with smirk on her face.

Then, they suddenly started to hear screaming coming from both Adam and Tabby.

"Fuck.." Amanda said, eyes widen a bit.

Mark watched for a moment, looked away with his eyes shut tightly before looking back to continue watching. John only sat with no real emotion but a small smile on his lips.

Tabby placed her saw on Adam's foot and her other hand on Adam's leg to hold it down. It was now or never. Her eyes looked at Adam and apologized for her before she began to move her saw up and down.

Her arm started slowly but then the speed quickened. Adam screamed and he screamed while tears fell from his eyes, Tabby joined him. Her screams were soon the only ones she heard.

"Please stop! It hurts, it hurts!" Adam cried.

Blood was pouring out and soon, Tabby hit bone. She shut her eyes, tightly as she suddenly felt actual fear. She took a quick, deep breath and continued to cut.

Adam sobbed even though the worse part was finally over. The stinging pain would not go away and he moaned in agony. Tabby's body was shaking and she could only look at what she had done, nothing else.

The sound of the bathroom door opening didn't even make Tabby flinch. She felt a hand on her shoulder but still did not react.

"Tabby.." Mark said.

"Mark, take care of Adam." John instructed. "I'll take care of Tabitha."

Mark did what he was told with no words to John or Tabby. He dragged the moaning Adam out of the room while Amanda took apart the nail bombs revealing to Tabby how they weren't even set to go off, only dangling for show.

John helped Tabby up and hugged her tightly.

"Have you learned anything today, Tabitha?" he asked her.

"Yes.." Tabby said, sniffling and hugging her father back. "I've learned to do exactly as you say.."

Some children are given time-outs to learn to obey their parents, to learn a lesson and some children are forced to cut off feet in order to learn to follow the rules..

(A/N: Thanks for reading! I tried to make this a powerful, emotional chapter.. if I succeeded, awesome. If I didn't, I'll try harder. :] This is the fifth chapter which means it's time for a short hiatus while I write the next five chapters for y'all. Reviews are welcomed, of course.)
