In the control room Melissa and Hayden just stood rooted to the spot, they couldn't believe what they had just seen.
"Oh my god," Melissa said as she stared at the screen that showed mainly red.
"That was gross," Hayden agreed as he tried to look away but his eyes stayed glued to the screen.
The screen showed Blake lying in a large puddle of his blood, chunks of flesh were dotted around his disfigured body and the chains just dangled in the air. Then it went fuzzy. Melissa just sat in her chair, she didn't know what she had gotten herself into.
In another room a single screen showed the same picture then turned fuzzy. The man in the chair smiled, "Game over Blake,"
The teen behind him wrung his hands nervously as his mind replayed all he saw.
"I..is the oth..other one ready?" the boy stuttered nervously.
"Yes," the man said as his face dropped, "I believe they are ready,"
Silver Crin woke up to a small bare room, she looked over to see a girl about a year younger than her still unconscious but she was standing up straight supported by chains. Silver got up onto her feet and walked over to the girl and looked at her. She had on flared brown jeans and a plain white t-shirt. She then noticed something at her feet and she picked it up. It was a black tape recorder that had a note that said 'PLAY ME.' Silver looked around to see just her and the girl and so she pressed play.
"Hello Silver Crin," a dark cold voice echoed through the small room, "I know you but you don't know me,"
"Wait what?" Silver said but she tape continued.
"You go around life wanting more when you have enough. You leave the others you once held dear to you behind and forget about them as if they never existed. Your task is simple really, save the girl and get out but there is a catch. As you can see chains are what is keeping the girl alive and your going to decide the girl's fate. You have a very simple task really, save the girl but sacrifice a little skin. If you look below the girl's feet you can see that there is a simple device that I like to call a grinder and to your right you will see a scalpel. Your task it to simply cut through the girl's arm, find the key before the trap completely kills her and manage to stay alive yourself. Live or die,"
Te tape recorder clicked off leaving Silver to listen to the gears of the chains. She looked over to see a small scar in the girl's forearm and Silver carefully picked up the scalpel. Silver looked that et clock and saw that she had only 15 more minutes to finish her task. She pressed the knife against the girl's arm and the girl's eyes flew open.
"Who are you?" the girl asked and then noticed her surroundings, "Where am I?"
Silver looked at the girl with sympathy and gently pressed the scalpel into the skin.
"What the hell are you doing?" the girl cried in terror as blood flowed in a line down her arm.
"I'm sorry," Silver said trying to control the tears forming in her eyes.
"Get away from me!"
The girl's legs landed in Silver's chest and Silver was sent backwards.
"If you want to live I need to do this," Silver said gritting her teeth.
But the girl wouldn't listen as she continued to flail as the chains lowered her slowly into the trap.
In the control room Melissa tried to pry her eyes off the screen but like before her eyes stared wondrously at the screen. Hayden was over in a corner muttering something to himself that was too low for Melissa to hear or care.
"Can you keep it down?" Melissa said sharply as the muttering got louder.
Hayden looked up, "No,"
Melissa rolled her eyes as he began his mumbling and then noticed that he was praying. Melissa felt like a first-class fool for telling him to shut up. They needed some help and they didn't care how they got it.
Silver looked at the clock that told her she had 9 more minutes to live or else. She had to calm down this girl.
"Ok just calm down," Silver said as gently as possible.
But the girl kept screaming.
"What's your name?"
The girl's screamed ceased a little, "Kris,"
Silver's heart skipped a couple of beats.
No one the girl looked so familiar.
Kris was one of Silver's old friends from elementary school but Kris was kept back a grade and Silver went on with life without her. They never really talked after that and they never really had seen each other in about 5 years.
"Wh..who are you?" Kris asked nervously as she gasped for breath.
"Silver," the girl confessed.
Kris's face morphed from fear to anger.
"You!" Kris said as the word slid off her tongue.
Silver didn't say or do anything.
"You left me you bitch!"
"I'm sorry ok?" Silver said now getting annoyed about the time they were wasting arguing about the past. The clocks rapid ticking told Silver that they only had 5 more minutes.
"This is senseless now I just have to..."
"Get the fuck away from me!" Kris screamed sending another kick at Silver who easily dodged it.
"If you want to live I need the key," Silver said advancing forward again with the scalpel in her hand.
"Your just going to fucking leave me again!"
Silver had enough, she didn't care what would happen to Kris as long as she was going to live through this hell.
Melissa immediately saw that something was wrong between Kris and Silver and got scared. Hayden had stopped his muttering and come over to look. He stared in awe as Silver advanced towards the screaming Kris.
"What's she doing?" Hayden asked.
"Kris is nuts and Silver's psycho," Melissa said plainly.
"Give me the damn key," Sliver said dangerously calm.
"Fuck you!" Kris shouted completely forgetting that he shoe was about to be devoured by a meat grinder. But Silver saw and smiled mischievously.
"What the fuck are you smiling about?" Kris said, fear tinted her voice.
"Good-bye,"
Kris screamed as her whole foot went through the grinder. Kris quickly pulled her leg up and blood dripped from her chewed up heel. Small strips of skin dangled and her veins let out countless amounts of blood.
"Help me!" Kris shouted to Silver who had a smirk on her face.
"Let me get the key!" Silver said folding her arms with the scalpel in er left hand.
"Hurry!"
Silver walked up to the whimpering Kris and made a couple of deep slashes in her arm. Kris screamed loudly but Silver put in her Ipod and blasted the music. Blood flowed freely down her arm and Silver spit the skin and the key was visible in between Kris's muscle. Silver, on purpose, sliced through the muscle and used the scalpel tip to get the key. Silver gently lifted the key and dropped it in her hand.
"G..goo...good," Kris stuttered in pain, "Now unlock me,"
Silver looked the clock to see that she had one more minute to go through the door or she'll be locked in her forever. Silver smiled as Kris looked at her in complete horror.
" You fool," Silver said smiling, "This key isn't to save you. It's to save me,"
Kris opened and closed her mouth a couple of times but no words came out.
"I hope you had a good life," Silver added walking away from Kris.
"You bitch!"
Kris completely forgot about the grinder below her and she dropped her legs.
"FUCK!"
Her legs were getting completely chewed up by the grinder blood spurred out of the grinder and on to the floor where some left over tendons layed. Kris gave a final blood curling scream as the grinder ripped it's way through her torso and he head layed lopsided to her left. Silver placed the key in the lock and twisted with all her might and it unlocked. Silver looked back to see the grinder slicing up Kris's arms. Silver turned and walked through the door.
Melissa and Hayden stared at the screen in complete horror as Kris's head disappeared into the grinder. Melissa felt like throwing up but Hayden beat her to it and puked in the corner he was praying in.
This is wrong, Melissa thought to herself, this is totally wrong.
And with that the screen went fuzzy once more.
Silver walked along the damp mucky hallway with the scalpel still in her hand. Her face had a wide grin, the biggest grin she ever had. She was live and that was all that matter, them she heard small weeping noises just ahead. Silver grasped the scalpel hard and advanced forward.
"Who's there?" Silver demanded, "Show yourself,"
A girl stepped out and she too had a scalpel in her wreaked bloody hand. Her clothes were messy with blood and pieces of skin that hardened onto her shirt. Her beautiful black hair was now a literally blood mess and one of her fingers was missing. Silver felt sympathy towards this girl but then changed her attitude and said in a strong voice, "Who are you?"
The girl continued to whimper silently to herself and Silver got annoyed.
"Who are you?"
The girl looked up and said in a small scared, distant voice, "Lyric,"
A/N: Well there you have it Silver has met Lyric. Hope you liekd it, please read and review. thanks
