Roxanne had dealt with their chains and hooks before while held captive, the pain being unbearable even for a zombie. But here she was now, dodging a few that came at her, before her body began to grow sluggish. She had to escape and replenish herself of flesh before it completely shut down.

"Growing tired?"

Pinhead mockingly asked as the chains had suddenly ceased, leaving only her legs hooked to them. "I would have spared your miserable life if you had the dignity to never return, but I must protect my daughter."

Suddenly, Roxanne had an idea.

"You want her to feel? Then let her feel!" A fist was clenched as Roxanne drew in ragged breaths.

"She needs to kill me, to experience that pain- forever!"

The Hell priest thought for a moment as Commander was still under his spell, her head a float in a sea of vast nothing while hearing the voices of those she loved. Suddenly, she could feel herself awaken as what held her was suddenly gone, and before her was the horrific sight of her aunt being bound by the legs to familiar hooks.

"It is time to prove yourself to me, my dear."

He had taken a knife from his belt and handed it to his apprentice, enclosing her hand with a tender touch around the handle.

"Be rid of the flesh that ties you to its world still, free yourself finally and feel."

Commander turned her back to him, gazing at her own flesh in which struggled to escape its painful bindings. What was betrayal to her now? She wanted the one who loved her too much to hurt the most.

With a swift turn of the knife, Bella plunged the blade deeply into herself before falling to her knees. She gazed up at her aunt, smiling softly as the Hell priest hurled himself at her.
