Kevin wandered around the same hallway for about three minutes muttering and cursing himself for even thinking of coming in here alone. Marissa was slumped against the wall dead. She had died after a short shock when Kevin told her where she was. He knew that there was a test awaiting him somewhere in the building but he didn't know where.
"Where are you?" Kevin shouted, his voice travelled through the empty hallway. A small creaking sound came from behind one of the doors to his left and he rushed in to see a horrifying discovery. Two bodies were strung up onto tall wooden boards by barbed wire and one jar full of flesh eating bugs and the other one was filled with glass shards, barbed wire and small shrapnel. Kevin tried but failed to rip his eyes away from the bodies of the two girls. The one on the left had small chunks of flesh gorged out of her skin. Numerous stabs and slashes slowed her stomach and small intestine that dangled in front of her left thigh. A name in blood was painted above her head on the board LYRIC ORFNI. The other body looked more fresh and gave off a more fresh scent of rotting organs, or what was left. The girl's stomach looked like a thousand nails were used to cut up her stomach, liver, kidneys, and even tear through her ribs and break her spine. The speakers above Kevin suddenly sent out a high pitched static noise and Kevin's knees buckled as he placed his hands on his ears.
"Hello officer," a young yet cold voice called, "How are you today?"
Kevin didn't feel like playing games, "Show yourself Jigsaw and maybe I will show some sympathy,"
A laughter came statically through the speakers, "This isn't John, this is someone who actually thought of you as someone but then you discarded them as if they were nothing but a bug,"
Horror came to Kevin's eyes as he realized who it was, "Hayden?"
Another static laugh came over the speakers followed by a lazy rhythmic clapping.
"Well a congratulations is in order officer. But this is not why you are here. You are here because you push too many people out of your life including troubled teenagers such as myself. Almost 10 suicides have occurred because of you and for that you must learn their pain as well. As you see before you is two girls who have sadly failed their test and therefore a painful death has become their destiny. But you always think positive and for this test you need to have positive thinking. Before you a two jars, one has sharp objects and the other has flesh eating bugs. Your task is too place one hand in the bugs and one hand in the other and try to find the key that is in one of them. But there of course is a punishment if you do not learn your lesson, there are wires connected around the room to either a bag of shrapnel or a knife. Every five seconds a knife or bag of shrapnel will either stab you or be poured on to you. You have only 5 minutes, live or die. Make your choice,"
Kevin's heart pounded as he opened the two jars, at the bottom of the sharps he could see some foggy water that he immediately noticed as salted water. The other jar came small clicking noises of pincers and legs crawling over shells of the bugs. Kevin took a breath and stuck his hand into the bug jar and screamed. Pain shot up his arm and he yanked it out along with two large beetles that came with it. Kevin shook his hand and then squashed the bugs under foot.
"Help me!" Kevin shouted his voice was strangled but a cold laughter echoed around him, taunting him at his weakness. Kevin slowly placed his lefthand into the shrapnel but the salt water stung like hell to him and he threw his hand out as the water seeped into his bloodied hand.
Dimitri and Melissa took the left hallway and raced down it to find it empty as well, nothing was there except a dead end.
"See its nothing but a fucking dead end," Melissa said thrusting her arm out to the wall.
Dimitri rolled his eyes, "SO you were right, but whoop,"
Suddenly a grinding noise pierced their ears and they looked to see a piece of wall move out and slide into place leaving a wide gap.
"There," Dimitri said pulling his twin sister along.
"What if it's a trap?" Melissa said shaking her hand out of his grip.
Dimitri did say anything, instead he ran in.
"I'm not following you," Melissa shouted after him.
A sudden scream came from another hallway and Melissa jumped.
"Dimitri," Melissa said.
Dimitri poked his head out, "What?"
"Did you hear that?"
Dimitri nodded, "Who cares lets go,"
Melissa nervously followed him and then wall slide shut behind them.
Kevin fell to the floor in pain the clock indicated that he only had one more minute until his death. Kevin forced his hand to go into the jar fast until the pain was too much to much to bear so he threw his hand out of the shrapnel jar and held it as it bled onto the cold concrete floor.
"Oh so close," Hayden said over the speakers.
"Fuck you!" Kevin shouted at the speakers, another laugh.
Kevin pushed his hand into the bug jar and searched the bottom but nothing he took his hand out fast to see the flesh completely devoured off his right hand. He looked at his left to see it cut deep and stinging. He peered into the shrapnel jar to see the sliver key at the very bottom in the salt water. Kevin took a breath and then plunged his left hand in and screamed as the salt water entered his cuts. His fingers searched through the water and shrapnel then the clock started beeping as it hit 0:15 seconds. Kevin slid his two fingers across the bottom of the jar until the key was caught. Kevin pulled it out, ignoring the pain, ran to the door and threw the key into the key hole and turned forcefully. The door sprang open and Kevin raced through just as the clock hit 0:01 second and the door slammed shut behind him.
Dimitri and Melissa walked along the wall of the dark rom until they came to a selection of door that were in front of them. Dimitri walked up to them and punched right through one only to reveal that it was fake. Dimitri and Melissa kicked and punched through doors only to realise that they were all fake except for one that was painted a bright blood red. Melissa looked at Dimitri who nodded and she carefully opened it. There sat a man who had an ugly pig mask on and was in a black trench coat. He had a butcher's knife in one hand and a syringe in the other.
"I figured you guys would find me sooner or later," John said with a sigh.
"Where's Hayden?" Melissa demanded.
John made a tsk-tsk sound, "Still going on about that boy,"
"Tell me,"
John pressed a button on a remote and a tv screen showed Hayden punching a wall, blood poured out of his bar knuckles and oozed onto the wall. In front of him was a tv screen that showed two dead girls tied to a wooden board and two jars containing blood, bugs and shrapnel.
"He has become my apprentice," John said smiling, "You two were unpredictable and he was just plain dumb enough to notice that I was blinding him with his own anger and memory,"
"He is your apprentice!?" Dimitri said in surprise.
"Don't act so dumb," John sad pointing the knife at Dimitri, "You had it coming,"
"But I was the one who created your fucking traps every single one of them! So don't point any fucking knife at me you fucking bastard!"
John laughed a cold laugh that sent shivers down Melissa's and Dimitri's spine.
"You may have the skill of putting flesh-eating bugs into a tank without getting eaten yourself but you don't have the skill of following the rules. Neither does your sister,"
Dimitri took a scalpel from his back pocket and showed it to John who smirked and laughed once more.
"You think that you can beat me with lousy scalpel? You have another thing coming boy,"
Dimitri lunged forward and John sliced up and the butcher knife caught Dimitri in the stomach and John sliced in and out. Blood flew out of Dimitri crashed into the wall moaning in pain.
"Take a hint from your brother her Melissa," John said pointing the butcher knife at Dimitri's head, "You two can never beat me,"
"Your dying John, it's time to give up," Melissa cried.
"Never!" John shouted, "I will never give up, not until everyone learns that they have done wrong,"
"Not everyone in the world has done wrong,"
John smiled, "Maybe not everyone but you and your brother sure have haven't you? Smuggling drugs into a detention centre is a very naughty thing to do,"
Melissa opened and closed her mouth a couple of times but nothing came out.
"It is you two who deserve to learn the hard way,"
John lunged at Melissa and pinned her to the floor. He used the edge of the butcher knife and ran it along Melissa's wrist a couple of times until a rusty coloured key was visible.
"Remember this?" John said holding up Melissa's wrist so that she could see ir.
"Get the fuck off me!" Melissa screamed trying to kick at John but he had her pinned tightly.
"Your brother did this to you, he cut your wrist then placed the keys in between the tendons. I'm doing you a favour,"
With that John took the key in between his two fingers and ripped upwards, Melissa screamed and withered in pain.
"You two better have had a nice calm conversation with your parents," John said, " Because your never seeing them again,"
A/N: If you can remember back all the way to the beginning of the story, Melissa is of course placed in a test and she has to retrieve the key but cutting her wrist. Well know you know how she gets it out..well John gets it out for her. Please read and reivew thanxs :)
