SAW: Puppeteer

Live or Die!

As Peter walked through the door it slammed shut behind him with the sound of the heavy blots latching shut. Peter stopped walking and looked around him, the hallway was narrow and rundown with a couple of doors on each side one of the doors was boarded up but the other had a red 'X' spray-painted over it, but at the far end of the corridor was the same heavy-duty vault-like door he just walked through.

"red 'x' definitely means danger right?", he looked up at the camera following him with its small red blinking light, "Hope you're enjoying the show asshole" he gestured two fingers up at the camera before he walked over to the marked door reaching for the rounded handle his hand still coated in his blood he twists it and a hears a few quick clicks and within a second he threw his body against the wall as a large axe swung down from inside the room that stopped at what would have been chest high on him.

Peter lets out a sigh mixed with a little nervous chuckle looking back at the camera and gesturing at it again "Missed", He walks around the axe looking at the dried rusted blood That stained the tip, "Well you certainly didn't miss someone".

Peter squinted his eyes trying to see in the darkroom, he couldn't see anything but could hear what sounded like muffled crying and struggling, the axe behind janked back into its upright position with the lights flashing on Peter jumped while whirling around as the door slammed close and bolts locked it right.

He took a few steps backwards and felt something touch his leg so he spun around to someone sitting in a chair with a sack over their head and a cassette player around their neck with 'Play Me' stuck to it.

Peter reached for the sack removing it from their head to reveal a redhead woman under it. "Hellen?, The fuck" he took a few steps back looking at her with this big metal contraption on her head, she riggled and cried but no words came out. Peter grabbed the tape player and pressed play.

"hello Hellen I want to play a game, you work for Peter as a chief financial advisor but the financial advice you gave was for yourself and other partners taking significant cuts of donations for yourselves leaving less for adequate resources and equipment to build with making yourself rich in the process the device attach to has been positioned inside your jaw and in two minutes will spring open killing you in the process, that is unless Peter can find it in his heart to forgive you as only Hellen can open the door at the end of the hall, live or die hellen the choice is Peters"

Peter pulled the tape player off which triggered a line to snap from the device and it started ticking, "oh fuck okay" Peter ran to Hellen who was still fidgeting and crying "Stay still I'm to help you, women" Peter looked all over the device trying to figure out how to get it off when he found a keyhole.

"if Peter can find it in his heart," he thought to himself while rubbing his chest he felt a large bump he lifted his dirty top to see a large slice crudely sown shut, "oh for fuck sake", he started tearing the stitches off one by one as warm blood began to spill out Peter gritted his teeth trying his hardest to ignore the throbbing pain he managed to power through, he felt something sharp jag across his fingertips.

Meanwhile, Hellen broke free from the chair and stood up, she grabbed the device and began trying to pull it off to no avail she turned to Peter who was kneeling on the floor in a small puddle of blood around him she tried to scream at him but still couldn't, Peter trying to grab what he could only guess was the key inside him finally managed to get a grip and pull it out which felt like a burning hot sensation he finally managed gripping it tightly he looked up to her, "Hellen I've got the....." before he could finish the sentence the device sprung open ripping Hellens face wide open from cheek to cheek Peter watched in horror as red mist splashed his face, the walls and the ceiling around him, her froze looking at Hellen who was just a gurgling mess in front of him she collapse forward on top of him and they both fell to the floor Peter still in a state of shock just stared blankly at the bloodied ceiling not blinking or breathing it took him a while to even feel the thick warm layer of hellens blood that was he was now wearing as her corpse laid on top of him.

After a few minutes, he rolled Hellen's body off of him and stood up he looked at the key in his hand and placed it on the chair before hearing the blots on the door unlocking he turned and opened the door into the hallway walking out and towards the big metal door which still hadn't opened, he slid down the cold metal door and sat on the floor he quickly leaned over to the side and began to throw up when he noticed a small green blinking light on the door frame.

Peter stood up and placed his thumb on the panel which flashed red, 'Only Hellen can open the door' Peter remembered jigsaws speech he stood up and walked back to Hellen's lifeless body and began to drag her, she was heavier than he expected but he could also barely get his strength up with the cuts on his wrists and chest when he looked up at the axe on the wall again he noticed the keyhole on it as well, he grabbed the key from the chair and unlocked the axe.

He looked down at Hellen's body "I'm sorry" With one big swoop he severed her arm before dropping the axe and picking her arm up, he stumbled towards the door using her thumb to unlock it, it slowly opened as Peter dropped the arm and walked through.

The arm lay on the floor with a puddle of blood around it, the fingers twitching before it laid still finally.
